CHAPTER FIVE: Reunion of Hearts

-

-

Tsukushi blinked her eyes open the following morning when she heard a muffled sound of crying, she sat up on the huge bed, Tsukasa was still sleeping peacefully beside her; half of his upper body were naked, only his naked waist-down were covered with their blanket. Tsukushi's own part of the blanket fell from her naked body and pooled down on her lap which was being impaled by her husband's right leg lying across hers.

She snatched the blanket up to her chest just in time when the adjacent door opened and Tsukina ran toward the bed, up on it and to Tsukushi, tears on her eyes.

"I'm sorry young Mistress," the maid that Tsukasa appointed to watch the twins bowed at the opening of the adjacent door, her face a bit red with embarrassment and nervousness because they know how violent their young master could be. "But when the young miss woke up, she suddenly cried."

"It's okay," Tsukushi said with a reassuring smile as she wrapped her arms around Tsukina. "Maybe she's still getting used to her new surroundings."

"Then excuse me mistress," the maid bowed again before she left after Tsukushi nodded slightly.

When the maid left and the adjacent door were close again, Tsukushi looked down at her daughter as she caressed Tsukina's hair after wiping her tears away.

"What's wrong with my little baby princess?"

Tsukina hiccupped as her big brown eyes looked up to her mother, her cute slight curly hair framing her face, then a slight Tsukasa-like smile tug on her lips, "I'm just scared I thought I was all alone and I didn't see oni-chan at the moment since he went out on the terrace, that's why I cried."

"And now it's okay…."

Tsukina nodded.

"Hmm…." Tsukasa groaned as he stirred from his sleep. He rubbed his eyes, stretched, before he opened his eyes and focused them on his wife and daughter. "Morning pretty ladies."

Tsukina giggled as she climbed down on Tsukushi's lap and crawled toward Tsukasa and gave him a loud kiss on the nose, "Mow-ning Dad-dy…"

Tsukasa frowned as he carefully sat up, making sure that the sheet was secure around his waist, "What's with the tears sweetie."

"I just thought I was all alone in the room…" Tsukina said as she pouted.

"Why? Where's your brother? Did the maid left you?" he asked softly with worry, though inside he's reminding himself to talk to the careless maid leaving the kids alone.

"Don't work yourself too much," Tsukushi said before Tsukina could answer, she could tell what's running on her husband's head. "I bet that Kina was just still getting used to at the new room she's sleeping at."

Tsukasa looked at his daughter, "Is that it?"

"Maybe," Tsukina shrugged. "Since I'm used sleeping with Mommy."

Tsukasa sweatdropped while Tsukushi chuckled at her husband's face.

"Hear that daddy?" Tsukushi poke Tsukasa playfully, "Our daughter is used to sleeping beside me….hmnnn…" she raised her brow in challenge.

Tsukasa coughed before speaking, "Kina, you know, you really need to get used to sleeping on a separate room with your brother because you're a big girl now."

"No I'm not." Tsukina frowned.

Tsukushi tried her best not to burst with laughter.

Tsukasa glared at his wife before smiling back at his daughter, "Sweetie, daddy wants to sleep beside mommy too."

"Then we can all sleep beside mommy." She answered innocently.

"No!" Tsukasa suddenly blurted out.

Tsukushi cannot hold her laughter anymore.

Tsukina gave him an odd look.

"I mean…" he sighed. "Sweetie, me and mommy just saw each other after so many years because of…work…so I miss mommy very much and I want some time alone with mommy….understand?" he asked sweetly.

Tsukina looked as if she's thinking what her father said over her head before she nodded slowly, "Okay…"

"That's my girl," Tsukasa grinned widely, Tsukushi rolled her eyes, "And later we'll go shopping and buy you lots of toys…"

Tsukina wrinkled her nose, "I want dresses."

"Then dresses it is."

"Yay!" she clapped her hands excitedly.

That moment the adjacent door burst open once again, in came Tsuzuki. He silently marched toward the bed.

"The maid said we're going to take some baths." He said to his sister.

"But before that," Tsukushi said as she stretched her arm toward her son, "Come here handsome and give me a good morning kiss."

Tsuzuki walked to his mother and gave her a kiss.

"How about me?" Tsukasa inquired with a raised brow to his son.

"Men don't kiss."

"A bear hug then."

Tsuzuki complied.

Then Tsuzuki tugged his sister's arm carefully to bring her to the next room where the maids were waiting for them.

"Later, sweetie," Tsukasa said as Tsukina slid from the bed then walked together with her brother.

When the twins were out of sight and the adjacent door were already close, Tsukasa then reached for Tsukushi and embraced her tightly.

"Now, why is my wife laughing at me?" he asked with mock-annoyance.

Tsukushi then laughed once again, "Because…you look so desperate while you talk to your daughter…" some tears of laughter already trailing down her cheeks.

Tsukasa pouted before his eyes gleam mischievously and attacked Tsukushi with his tickling on her sides. Tsukushi thrashed around the bed, her arms and legs flailing as Tsukasa continued tickling her.

"Tsu….ka…sa…..s…top!" she screamed with a combination of laughter. But her husband continued tickling her, they didn't even noticed when they already fell off the bed while they were still tangled on the sheets. Out of pure desperation, Tsukushi surged her left arm forward with a force. Tsukasa stopped and he ended up on his butt.

"Oh, woman! You're as violent as ever!" he muttered as he caressed his injured cheek. Tsukushi just hit him with her semi-open palm, but still, it hurts! "And I thought you've changed."

Tsukushi looked up to her husband, "Honey, I maybe look like a businesswoman in public but I will never change." She declared stubbornly.

Tsukasa smiled, "And I don't want you too, you're perfect just as you are," he said adoringly as his lips met hers. "I love you, my amazon wife." He smirked.

"And I love you, my octopus head husband," she smirked back.

They shared one deep kiss before Tsukasa lose himself on their tangled limbs, deposited her back on the bed before he grab his robe and headed for their bathroom.

"I'll go take a shower…" he said then looked back with a suggestive brow wiggling, "Wanna join me?"

"No! Or we won't be coming out anytime soon, and you promised the kids you'll take them shopping."

Tsukasa shrugged, "I'll leave the door wide open if you change your mind," he winked before he entered the bathroom.

"Tease." Tsukushi mumbled with a laugh.

She was still lying on their bed when her cellphone rings. Tsukushi frowned before she grabbed her small bag from the bedside table and took her flip-top cellphone. She looked at the screen and saw that it was Leah.

"Hello?"

"Hey, what happened at the meeting yesterday?"

"It went well."

"So, you already talk to your husband?" some excitement could be heard on her friend's voice.

Tsukushi smiled, "Actually I'm here on our room and he's in the bathroom at the moment."

Tsukushi held her phone a few inch away when her friend shrieked.

"Oh I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you."

"So, when are you guys coming back here?"

"Err…scratch that…since we're together again, we'll be staying here…" Tsukushi informed her friend.

"But your husband has some business here right?"

"Yeah, but he's only coming there to check things though his main base is here…" she answered. "And not to mention that mother Kaede is still managing some businesses there."

"And what about your job here?" Leah's voice turned to panic.

Tsukushi laughed, "Hey, relax, I'll still do my job though we need to communicate online or thru emails and videophones."

"How's the twins?"

"They're fine, actually they're so close with their father."

"That's great."

"I know."

"Hey, Kushi?"

"Hmn?"

"How about that thing we talk about?"

"What thing?"

"That once you and Tsukasa are be back together we'll be featuring him on our magazine…"

Tsukushi laughed. "I bet he'll throw fits! He doesn't like publicity."

"Not when you'll be the one questioning him."

Tsukushi then snapped her fingers, her writer instinct coming in as she sat up from their bed, "How about we feature the whole F4? You know, the then and now…and then some facts about them, their mini-biography….about the red-tags, what their likes and dislikes, how bratty they were back in their school days…then now when they're all successful and happy…" she suggested.

"Go on, I'm listening. Geez, I love your ideas. I might even fly there to interview them personally."

"So, yeah, then we'll have pictures of them then and now and maybe I could snuck some of their childhood pictures from Tsukasa or any of the F4 then I'll let them tell me some of their childhood life at school….I could tell what kind of a bully they were…" she chuckled, wheels of ideas started running on her head. She never noticed that Tsukasa was finished bathing and watching her with amusement as he stood on the bathroom doorway, he's resting his body on the side of the door, his arms over his chest, droplets of water running down his semi-straight hair. While Tsukushi didn't notice that her blanket already fell out from her moving about and she was already sitting fully naked on the bed while she talk her ideas over the phone.

Tsukasa has a hard time trying to control himself not to kiss and touch his wife and just stood there and watch her talk.

Tsukushi frowned, still not noticing her husband or her nakedness as she lay on her stomach. "Hey, what's wrong?"

While Tsukasa gulped from his place, he think he needed another shower; a cold one, since he could feel something stirring on him.

"Nothing," Leah answered from the other line. "I'm just thinking how so many ladies would be very envious once our magazine made it to the market when they learned that the F4 were already taken and living a happy and contented life."

Tsukushi laughed.

"Well, I believe Akira is still available." She snorted.

Leah laughed. "So, when are we going to put this to action?"

Tsukushi wrinkled her nose before saying, "How about tomorrow since I have to do so many things today like meeting some friends, calling the twins school there in LA, and the list goes on…"

"Okay, so I'll call you tomorrow then."

"You know, why don't you start selecting your team there then take a flight here for next week." Tsukushi suggested as she grabbed her planner and pen and started writing schedules.

"That's great!"

"Okay, talk to you later, bye."

"Bye."

When Tsukushi looked up, she saw her husband looking at her amusedly, she blushed when she finally noticed her nakedness.

"So, you're finished already."

"Yeah, and I'm enjoying the view."

Tsukushi rolled her eyes. Tsukasa strode toward her and gave her another kiss before walking toward their walk-in closet. When he stepped out, he was already wearing some casual clothes, a brown cargo-pants and black long sleeve shirt with white short sleeve shirt on top, a black bonnet on his head.

"Take a bath and get dress Mrs. Doumyouji, we're going shopping." He drawled with a grin.

Tsukushi stood from the bed and strode toward the bathroom but she yelped when Tsukasa hit her butt. Tsukasa laughed when she glared at him, she stuck her tongue out before closing the bathroom door.

After finishing the bath and putting some clothes on, Tsukushi stepped out of the walk-in closet. She was wearing a black pleated mini-skirt, pink spaghetti strap shirt and knee high brown boots. Across her body were a small brown body bag, her hair were in two pigtails.

"I'm ready!" she declared.

Tsukasa smirked before walking toward her, he hugged her to him and kissed her, one of his hands slid under and up inside her mini skirt and squeeze her butt. Tsukushi yelped from their French kiss and slap Tsukasa's shoulder playfully, "Pervert."

"How am I a pervert?" he frowned with a pout.

Tsukushi laughed, "Because your hands were sneaking under a lady's skirt!"

"Correction, I'm sneaking my hand under my wife's skirt."

Tsukushi blushed while Tsukasa laughed.

After they went out of their room, Tsukushi looked amused after seeing the twins. Tsuzuki and Tsukina's clothes were the same like Tsukasa's; though Tsuzuki's wearing a combination of blue and red shirt while Tsukina was wearing a combination of white and pink.

"Ah, my son and daughter have good taste when it comes to clothing," Tsukasa said proudly.

Tsukushi rolled her eyes as she walked ahead of them toward the car.

The maids looked at the couple and their kids with happiness.

Tama was due back the next day.

Tsukasa chose a silver BMW car to drive that day. They made sure that the kids were properly seated at the back seat before he started the engine and drove off.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

At the mall

Some people who knew Tsukasa kept looking at them, especially toward the twins. They can't help but to admire the couple and their kids. They all look beautiful.

Tsukasa heed no mind at the on-lookers as he bought everything his children wanted.

"Don't you think it's too much?" Tsukushi looked at all the things they bought.

"It's fine. I want them to enjoy their childhood."

"But Tsukasa…" Tsukushi said with disapproval as she saw him took a real mini-motorcycle for Tsuzuki, "It's too much, I mean, I remember only having a jackstone and a jumping rope when I was a kid."

Tsukasa raised his brow, "That's because your family was poor."

She stomped on his foot, "There you go again about me being poor," she huffed as she crossed her arms over her chest, "I only meant that it's too much, you're spoiling them."

Tsukasa wince before speaking, "I'm just catching up for the lost time and not to mention that I just want to buy everything they wanted," he reasoned out.

"But…"

"And it's your duty to keep them in-line so they won't be spoiled since I'm sure am gonna." He smirked boyishly.

"Argh," she shook her head in frustration. "You're impossible, so you're gonna spoiled them and I'm gonna make sure we won't spoil them." She gave him a sarcastic look. "Don't you think they'll be confused and I'll look like the bad guy?" She rolled her eyes.

Tsukasa just shrugged.

"I swear you never change at all, you're still that bratty guy back in high school!"

Tsukasa winked at her, "But you love me the way I am."

"And you're right." She sighed in surrender. "Fine. I'll make sure to remind them not to be arrogant and self-centered like you."

"Hey!" Tsukasa frowned.

"But that's the truth."

He pouted and walked toward Tsukushi, hugged her and kissed her. "But I don't think you want me timid?" he raised his brow.

Tsukushi smiled, "No way!"

"I thought so."

Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

After buying so many things, they decided to eat at pizza hut. They were still waiting for their order when Rui, Shigeru, Soujirou, and Yuki arrived with their kids and joined them on their table.

"Hi guys, so where's Akira?" Tsukushi asked after they all greeted each other.

"Probably on a date." Soujirou shrugged.

Rui making some added orders, while on his arms was Shinaru, while Soujirou put Saiyuki on a chair next to Tsukina.

"Hey, no fair!" Shigeru muttered as she took Shinaru from her husband and put him on the other side of Tsukina. "There!"

The F3 rolled their eyes.

"So," Rui started as he eyed some shopping bags surrounding them, his arms resting on the table, "You guys went shopping, eh."

"Yeah, though it's not all of it, some were being delivered at the moment at the house," Tsukushi mumbled.

"I wonder why didn't you just buy the whole mall, Tsukasa?" Soujirou frowned at his friend.

Tsukasa shrugged, "I probably won't hear the end of Tsukushi's ranting if I did."

"You got a point there." Soujirou agreed. "I experience the same thing when Yuki and I went shopping for Saiyuki, she almost fainted," then he chuckled. Yuki blushed before bopping her husband on the head.

Shigeru then joined the conversation, "Well, anyway, I could say that Rui is more shop-aholic than me when it comes to Shinaru, he's just spoiling him to death, not that I mind." She shrugged.

Rui then shrugged, "I don't want to let my son feel neglected just like when I was a kid."

"We know, buddy." Tsukasa said, then he rolled his eyes, "I just don't understand why these women can't understand our feelings?" he pouted.

Tsukushi bopped him on the head, "We understand, you're just overdoing it, honey."

They ate happily while conversing when the pizza and pasta was served by some waitresses.

They were eating when; "Tsukushi Makino?" a high-pitched voice said.

They all looked up and saw Asai; she was wearing a black mini dress and high heeled shoes. With her is Yamano; who was wearing a low-jeans and halter top. Envy in their eyes as they looked at the girls with the F3, they also noticed the kids.

"Asai, Yamano." Tsukushi greeted politely. She knew that they were not very nice to her back in high school but that was it, it was high school and she has nothing to grudge about since life is being good to her. And she's contented. "Long time no see."

Asai just nodded before looking at Tsukasa, "Tsukasa…" she greeted.

Tsukasa just nodded his head slightly.

"So," Shigeru then said, "How are you guys?" Looking back at their high school days, she can't help but to just smile at it.

"We're fine." Yamano answered.

"That's great." Shigeru nodded.

Their attention was caught when somebody called Asai, it was a geeky guy though it's obvious that he's rich.

"Boyfriend?" Soujirou asked, trying his best not to laugh.

Asai shook her head, "My husband."

Tsukasa raised his brow, "Ow."

"So, we better go." Asai then turned and walked away hurriedly. Yamano followed her.

"Ironic." Soujirou said after Asai and Yamano were out of ear shot. "They used to run after rich, good-looking guys like us and they end up with that." He gestured.

Tsukasa smirked proudly, "What did I tell you, guys like us were rare," then he turned to his wife, "That's why you're lucky I've fallen in love with you onna."

Tsukushi stuck out her tongue. "Stop being mean okay."

"Saying we're good looking was being mean!" Tsukasa raised his brow.

She pinched Tsukasa's cheek, "No sweetie, I meant being mean to Asai even though she's out of earshot."

"Why, she used to be mean to you."

Tsukushi smiled, "Yeah but it's okay, because I got you and our two lovely kids, and that's more than enough. I already forgive her a long time ago, it's just high school bullying." She shrugged.

"And how come you're still annoyed about that red tag thing we did to you back at high school every time it was mentioned." He challenged.

"It's just different." She shrugged with a sweet smile. "Just like when you always happily mentioning that my family used to be poor." She kissed him on the cheek. "All is fair in love and war."

Soujirou rolled his eyes as he looked at his wife, "And here I thought they already grew up."

Rui grinned, "Knowing them, they'll be like kids even when they get old."

They were still all eating and talking when Tsukushi took her cellphone out and flip it over, the camera facing them.

"What are you doing?" Shigeru asked.

Tsukasa already has an idea.

"I just want to capture all our moments together, it would be nice to look back and reminisce." Tsukushi said before clicking her cellphone continuously.

The others did the same as they took their cellphones out.

It was a while later when Akira appeared and sat on the vacant chair. He called earlier asking where they were.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Inside the car

"So, when are you planning to tell them?" Tsukasa asked his wife as he maneuvered the car.

"Tell them what?"

"About your plan of featuring the F4 on your friends' magazine?"

"You know about it?" she arched her brow.

"I heard some details earlier."

"Maybe next week." She shrugged. "I want to tell them once Leah and the crew arrive so they won't say no."

"You're shrewd, my dear wife." He smiled as he kissed her hand without taking his eyes off the road.

Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I make it longer to make up for last chapter. Thanks to all who reviewed, I really appreaciate it and sorry for the long wait.

Belated Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

Yorishiku!
