Chapter One: Turning away
-
Tsukushi stares angrily at the note that she held hand, her other hand in a tight fist. "Papa, how could you?" Tsukushi shriek her eyes looking directly at him. "Tsukushi, please understand why papa did this" Mama pled hoping to calm Tsukushi down. Poor Susumu hides out in his small isolated room, but still watching the excitement outside his room. "Ok, fine, explain Papa please explain why you did this" Tsukushi calmly replied. "Tsukushi, we are at the end of our debt. I had nowhere else to turn and didn't know what to do. If we didn't pay them back they would surely kill us all" Papa cried. "But why? Why a marriage, and with some stranger no less, I'm not ready for this" Tsukuski storms off to her room shutting out her parents and the rest of the world. Papa and Mama were left to figure out what else to do, if they did not agree to marry off Tsukushi to that man's son. Than he would surely make sure that they were face with a horror able death. "Mama, what can we do now?" Papa quietly asks. "Don't ask me, you got us into this mess with your gambling" Mama sobbed.
Falling down on the side of her bed, she sobbed slowly her thoughts drifting off to a certain someone. He never left her mind, no matter how much she tried. She tried so long ago to forget him, to escape him and never to cry over him again. Yet, a part of her could never realize that.
"Tsukasa, where are you now? You probably forgot all about me. I was nothing but a no good commoner, someone who was not worth your time. Nevertheless you loved me, and in return I loved you too. I'm sorry I turned my back on you and left you when you needed m most. This pain and scar within me is killing me like a thousand knives. Some ruthless and aching words I spoke to you, still echoes within my mind which never once left me."

...Three years ago…

Tsukushi finished packing the rest of her clothes and belongings closing the last of her luggage. This was never supposed to be, I shouldn't have given it any hope. If I had not dream and let my dreams get the better of me things would never turn this way. Oh, Tsukasa, please forgive me and forget me, I'm sorry for all I've caused you. Wiping the fallen tear drops off her pale face, foolish tears you were never suppose to fall.
" Tsukasa, I love you so much but I have to let you go" Tsukushi quietly whispers placing down the letter she had written earlier but had been hidden it away from him, not knowing sure when her time will come.
Staring stupidly around the apartment she once shares with him, wonderful and sweet everlasting memories come rushing back to her. The bed that they had shared, the bathroom they had fought over. And that kitchen where she cooked her first meal for him, a meal that even though was awful he kept saying was great because she had made it. "Why am I still thinking this way? This was stupid! Everything I did was stupid" she cried.
To her surprise the front door slammed open and a familiar figure came into view.
"Tsukushi, where do you think your going?" Tsukasa came into view. Shock to see him home so early she stammer at what to say. "Tsukasa, what are you doing back so early?"
"Damn it, just answer my question, are you leaving me? Is it because of my mother?" Tsukushi accuses reaching for her hand. "Stop it! Tsukasa, just please stop" Tsukushi cries breaking away from him.
"I- I tried, I really did. I wanted to be there for you. And to always be by your side and not care about anyone else. I love you so much and leaving you is just killing me. But I have to! You know as well as I do, we can't keep this up much longer. You mother, she knows about us" Tsukushi explains staring down at the floor trying hard to hold back her silly tears.
Tsukasa said nothing and stepped forward to embrace her, neither said a word. The silence of the clock on the wall slowly strike eight pm making a loud dong, yet no sound were made from them Tsukushi took a deep breath slowly trying to capture this moment, a moment that was not suppose to be. Finally, Tsukushi spoke up "Tsukasa, I need to go now. Please forget about me and marry that girl"
"What? Forget about you, how can u even say that? You know that I would never let you go and let you leave like that. And that marriage thing is that stupid woman's idea, not mine. I have no plan to marry that bitch she tells me to. I only want you, I want to spend the rest of my life with you" Tsukasa explains quickly still holding tightly onto her.
Tsukushi pushed Tsukasa away and picked up her luggage heading pass him for the door. "Once you step out that door, you can never return. And I'll never forgive you. If I can love you so much than I hate you that much", Tsukasa spoke seriously not turning to look at her.
"I'm sorry, I love you" Tsukushi spoke softly letting a tear drop, without a thought she turned back and pressed her lip quickly onto Tsukasa once warm lips, now felt cold and icy towards her, "Forget about me" she whisper into his ear and left him like that.
Tsukushi unwillingly got up and wipe the last of her tears reaching to open her door, yet she hesitates. Was this really the only choice she has left? Somehow she was still holding on that hope that Tsukasa would come for her and tell her that he still loved her and his mother could do nothing to stop them. But that was three years ago, any hope she could want was slowly dying. He really meant it when he said he could hate her that much. Maybe she should just go along with this marriage and start a new life and help the family out.
"I'm sorry; I was not being reasonable Papa" Tsukushi spoke up causing her parents to look her way. "I'll marry him, if it means we'll be out of debt" Tsukushi sadly agrees. Mama quickly jolted up and hugged her daughter tears of joy and sadness storming its way down. "Thank you Tsukushi!" she cried happily.

… Present time… Domyouji Mansion

Tsukasa threw the towel which he used to dry his curly hair onto the bed and fell on its soft cushion. He closed his eyes leisurely, finally a moment of peace. Away from all that work, all those suck ups and most importantly that bitch "his wife". He didn't want to marry her, but he was at the state of mind that he wasn't even himself. He only married her, but he never loved her, in these three years he never even stepped into her room or even went into bed with her. The thought of being with that woman was sickening him. It was more as a title as than to whom he loves. "Tsukushi, why do I still feel so alone?" he said quietly.
"Get up and get dress now" a voice snapped from the doorway. Tsukasa snapped away from his thoughts and looked toward the door. It was her, what was she doing at his end of the wing? "How many times have I told you to knock before you enter Sakurako?" Tsukasa bitterly snapped. "I'm sorry dear husband; I missed you so much that I forgot about that" Sakurako laughed walking toward him leaning down closely to his lips and smiled slyly. "Oh my, look at you thinking that I would kiss you" she cried throwing her head back and walked away. "By the way, stop thinking about that poor bitch, I am your wife now. She was nothing but your play toy" Sakurako mocked. Tsukasa was at the end pf his patience he was ready to get up and beat the hell out of her for speaking about Tsukushi that way.
Tsukasa needed to clear his mind, he got up and head toward his closet and found an outfit to wear. He headed downstairs, not wanting anyone to see him leave. Getting into his car, he backed out quickly making a loud shriek. Once in a while his eyes would shift onto the street as happy couples walked by, remembering once he and Tsukushi were like that so happy and full of love for each other. Out of the corner of his eye he could have swore he saw a figure like Tsukushi waling across the street. She looked quite different yet the same, her once short hair were now long and she looked more slender and mature. No doubt in his mind she was Tsukushi he watches as she made her way into a store minutes later leaving with another man.
"Tsukushi… have you moved on?" Tsukasa sadly whisper watching her walk down the street not sure if he should call out to her.
