Chapter One: A fate almost worse than death.
Tsukushi Makino groaned. It was time to start college in the fall, and all she could think of was money. College wasn't going to be cheap. Her family was dirt poor, and the only way they could possibly afford to send her to college was to sell their blood. Even then, it probably won't be enough. How will she get into college? Tsukushi sighed and looked up at the blue sky wistfully.
"Hey! Why are you looking so stupid with your hands on your face, Makino?" yelled Tsukasa Doumyouji as he whacked her across the head.
"Why must you be so ill-tempered you—you butt head!" Tsukushi said glaring at him with her I—will—hurt—you look.
"Well, at least I'm not the one whose panties are showing!" Tsukasa blushed, pointing to her skirt which indeed, showed her panties for the whole world to see. "At least have some self-dignity!" Tsukasa said again, rambling on and on about indecent exposure.
"How are you doing Makino?" asked Rui, as he passed her looking at her closely. He gave her a nod, and sat next to Tsukasa.
"Tsukasa, she doesn't look that happy. I think you should ask her what's wrong." Akira suggested, pointing toward where Tsukushi was sitting. Tsukasa groaned and walked over.
"Now, what's the matter with you? You don't seem like the Tsukushi Makino I know." Tsukasa said softly. Startled, Tsukushi looked up.
"What did you say?" Tsukushi asked. Maybe she hallucinated for a second, and imagined that whole scene. After all, it was quite impossible for Doumyouji to say that.
"I said, get up, and stop being sad. It's annoying." Tsukasa said gritting his teeth. Tsukushi rolled her eyes. How typical of him.
"I can't afford college. It's way too expensive." If he asked her what was wrong, might as well tell him. Then maybe he would just get off her back. He worried too much.
"What in the world are you saying? I can pay for you!" Tsukasa said unbelievably like she could suggest such a stupid thing.
"No! Then I would be more in debt to you than I already am!" She didn't want to owe him anything else.
"So, you can pay it back by marrying me! What's so bad about me?" Yeah right, if that happened, he would die a happy man.
Of course, he was Tsukasa Doumyouji, the heir to the whole Doumyouji fortune. He was probably one of the richest people on Earth. Why would he have anything to worry about? If she married him, her family will cry tears of joy. She thought to herself angrily.
"So what do you say? Me paying for your tuition? It's the least I could do." He said grinning at her with an expression that reminded her of a wolf. But you know, why not?
"Fine, but I have a really bad feeling about this." Tsukushi said with a sigh. Tsukasa whacked her on her back.
"Don't worry so much. I got it all under control!" Tsukasa did a victory march inside of his head. Apparently, he was letting his inner-male ego get the better of him.
"Let's get one thing straight. I do not owe you anything!" Tsukushi added just in case he was thinking of using this to his advantage. Tsukasa groaned, it was exactly what he had in mind. He would pay for the tuition and Makino would be in such gratitude and she will fall in love with his bravery and kindness. Right, as if. That would only happen if they were born Saturn.
Scene change.
"You Sleepyhead! Get up already! You are going to be late for the first day of school!" Tsukasa grumbled as he stood in front of the Makino residence and screamed on top of his lungs.
"Mr. Doumyouji, I don't think you should be doing that." His driver pointed out that Tsukushi was a block away, glaring at him, as if she was trying to burn holes through his head.
"Ha-ha, shut up before I fire you." Tsukasa said with a snarl. Tsukushi was getting closer to him by the second. Was she so grateful for him coming to pick her up? His chest blew up with pride, after all, it isn't everyday you have a charming, handsome, millionaire like him picking you up. She should feel honored. As Tsukushi got even closer, Tsukasa could see she was anything but honored. No, she was far from it. She was as angry as a bull that has just seen red.
"What in the world are you doing, standing in front of my house and yelling like that?" Tsukushi said whacking him with her briefcase. He rubbed his head. For a girl, she could sure hit hard.
"I was just going t—to pick you up—p!" Tsukasa said with a stutter. That was going to leave a bruise on his head for a week.
"Right, but since we are running late, hurry up already!" She huffed loudly at him. He smiled. Did she just agree to ride with him? Obviously, any girl would die for that chance. But then again, Tsukushi Makino wasn't just any girl.
At the school.
"New students of Eitoku University, Please go to the registration booths to sign in. School will start in approximately one hour." The voice boomed over the crowds of people. Everyone began to walk towards the booths.
"Hurry up; we don't have much time left." Tsukushi scrambled along to the booths, squished into the crowds of people. Tsukasa grabbed her arm and pulled her out from the crowd.
"Hey, no need to rush. I called before hand and made sure that they reserved our stuff first. I have them right here." He said, pointing to his bag. Tsukasa took two yellow envelopes and handed her hers. "There you go." On the piece of paper it showed her classes and her schedule. It showed her room number; on it was the number 451.
"Hey Doumyouji, what room did you get? I can't wait to find out that I'm far away from your clutches!" She said happily rejoicing to herself. She took a glimpse at Tsukasa. He was grinning with the same wolfish grin that scared her. "Why are you grinning like that" Tsukushi huffed. Whenever he looked like that it couldn't be good. What in the world was that guy up to now? He showed her his piece of paper. On it said the same exact number; 451.
"Oh, look. Looks like I have the same exact room. Guess we are going to be roommates!" Tsukasa said feigning surprise. Tsukushi glared at him.
"Isn't this supposed to be a school? Don't they separate girls and guys?" She said praying that it was true.
"Yeah Makino, if you haven't noticed this is a school. This is a co-ed school. Which means—t"
"I know what a co-ed school is! I just didn't know that this was one!" Tsukushi wailed.
"Well anyway, I pulled some strings, and I got the same room you were in. What a surprise" He chuckled to himself.
"You idiot! How can that be a surprise if you already knew it was going to happen?!" Tsukushi was beyond rage. She looked ready to chop him into pieces, feed him to the dogs, and then burn their feces. And even possibly spread the feces all over the ocean so that he will never find her again.
"No need to be so angry. At least it's me and not some random guy. Anyone can be a pervert out there. It's a dangerous world out there!" Tsukasa said, blabbering over the fact that she didn't want him as a roommate. Tsukushi felt dizzy and a bit sick. Maybe it was from all the excitement, or maybe she just thought the fact of Tsukasa living with her for 4 whole years of her life disgusted her, but whatever it was it made her feel horrible. Tsukushi leaned over to Tsukasa shoulder and clung onto his chest.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Tsukasa said blushing a deep red. He was use to girls throwing themselves onto him, but he thought Makino was different. But hey, not like it was a bad thing, in fact, he kind of liked it. Tsukushi took a step back, and threw up. He really did make her sick, literally.
"Oh my god! Get her off of me." Tsukasa squealed to nearby spectators. They just stared at him, and just shook their head. They were just glad it wasn't them she threw up on. What an unlucky guy. "Oh, nice place this is! I can just tell I'm going to be fine here!" He carried Tsukushi into the building. "Dude! Hey you! What! Just don't walk away from me. Who do you think you are?" Tsukasa called after a guy who had headphones in his ear, as if he could hear him at all. The guy just walked away. Tsukasa sighed and gave up looking for any help. He was all alone. He'd just have to deal with it. He turned around. There it was-- a map of the whole campus. Oh gee, why didn't he see that before? He got the directions and flung Makino over his shoulders again. It was going to be a long trip up. Half way there, he heard a voice.
"Tsukasa, I'm fine now. Let me down" Tsukushi said groggily. Throwing up can be very tiring.
"No way on earth am I letting you down! That way you're going to throw up on me again!" He said his eyes wide with horror. He grabbed her and started up the stairs again. Where was the damn elevator in this place? Finally, they were there. He opened the lock with one hand and pushed the door to their dorm room. He sighed with relief, the room was wonderful. Out of his amazement on how the room was so spacious and beautiful, Tsukasa let go out Tsukushi and she landed with a heavy thump. She blacked out. Tsukasa turned around and shrugged, she'll live. Besides, that was payback for that bruise she gave him today.
Chapter One /End.
Author's Note: Sorry if this chapter isn't that good. I'm a little rusty, haven't been writing in ages. I'm working on the second chapter, but it's going to take sometime before I finish it. Not long i hope, because im working on it with any spare time I have. I'm still working on the plot, but and so far it's working out great. Please review on this chapter. Support would be appreciated!
Next Chapter: Tsukushi and Tsukasa are now forced to live in the same dorm room. Tsukasa is determined to snag Tsukushi once and for all. After, they are living in the same dorm room. Things can happen before you can even stop them. After all, Tsukushi can't hate him forever—can she?
That's all for now, thanks for reading! Stay tuned for more! (I sound so corny don't I?)
