Chapter 29

Earlier before Rukawa met with Yuna…

"What are you telling me?" Rukawa's father shouted at him. "You broke the arrangement with Riko?"

"Yes father," Rukawa answered impassively.

"I can't believe this," His father brushed his hand over his hair. "Do you know that Riko's father and I had been business partners for years? It will be good opportunity that you are married to his daughter to expand our family business!"

"That is your business not mind." Rukawa frowned turning away from his father.

"Please, honey," Rukawa's mother came into the room looking worriedly at both of them. "Your father is right."

Rukawa remained silent.

"You marched yourself to Hiroshima and very well apologized to Riko and her family!" His father roared picking up the phone. "I'm booking you a flight ticket."

Rukawa turned back to his father and walked over to him swiftly. His hand slammed down onto the receiver of the phone before his father could pick it up.

"I told you, I am not going to get myself involved with your plans!" Rukawa said softly his voice remained cold.

"How dare you talk to me like this?" His father glared at him. "Did you forget that I am one of the richest business man in Tokyo and so is Riko's father. This is for your own good!"

"For your own good, you mean?" Rukawa replied.

"Rukawa dear!!!!" His mother came and touched his shoulder gently. "Can't we talk about this without shouting at each other?"

"I am not shouting." Rukawa replied still staring coldly at his father and his father glaring back at him.

"Rukawa dear, your father mean things to go well…"

"Mother, I have enough of this." Rukawa turned away from his father sharply. "I'm leaving…"

"If you leave boy, I will cut your allowance off!" Rukawa's father shouted after him as he walked towards the door.

"Whatever…"

"Rukawa-dear!!!!"

Rukawa ignored them and walked out the room swiftly, he grabbed his hand luggage which he had already packed and ready to leave the house his parents own in Tokyo. He had already suspected this to happen. Before he could open the front door of the house, his mother appeared.

"Rukawa-dear!!!!"

"Yes, mother?" Rukawa asked not looking at her.

"Here take this."

Rukawa turned to his mother, to see him pushing some money and a check book into his hands.

"It will take sometime for your father to cool down." She said with a smile. "In a mean time, why don't you stay at Tokyo Hotel until you go back to Kanagawa? He may say he is not giving you allowances, but I still could."

"You don't have to do that…"

"Rukawa, you are my son," her eyes filled with tears as she smiled. "I know we hadn't been around you when you grew up, and things had changed. I heard from my father that you had taken an interest on a particular girl…"

Rukawa's eyes widened for astonishment before he quickly masked it away with his usual expressionless face.

"I don't know what you are talking about."

"I am sure she must be a very nice and special girl, Yuna Tendoshi." His mother continued anyways still smiling. "Go look for her… I'm sure she is waiting for you."

"Arigatou, mama…" Rukawa mumbled.

Rukawa's mother hugged him, and watched him leave the house. Gradually the tear she was holding in, slipped down her face. His little boy had grown up to be a very exceptional young man…

At Tokyo Hotel

Yuna stared at Rukawa as they both waited for the lift. She couldn't imagine she would bump into Rukawa in Tokyo and to think he was staying in the same hotel as she was as well. Rukawa looked down at Yuna studying her from top to toe. She really looked very pretty in a dress. He pushed his hands into his pockets and turned away looking up the numbers of floors showed on top of the lift.

"Why are you here Rukawa?" Yuna asked then after a moment of silent passed.

"What are you?" Rukawa asked moving his eyes to look at her again.

"Moh," Yuna frowned. "What can't you just answer my question?"

Rukawa remained silent, he didn't want to tell Yuna what happened earlier with his father, besides Yuna never knew that he was actually from one of the riches family in Japan. He was glad that, at that moment the lift arrived. He walked inside still not answering her. Yuna stared at him not believing he was actually ignoring her question. Felt her anger rising she made no move to go into the lift. Rukawa held the door opened waiting for her. He looked at the fuming Yuna unperturbed.

"Are you coming?" He asked softly after a moment passed.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Yuna walked into the lift. They reached out to press for their floor and their fingers touch onto the same button. They looked at each other again. Yuna blinked while Rukawa looked mildly surprised. They then quickly looked away from each other.

They waited for the lift to bring them up to their floor. Rukawa looked side ways at Yuna who had her gaze down the floor. Slowly she looked up too when she felt that Rukawa was looking at her. Rukawa didn't look away like he usually would, kept his gaze at her.

"Nani?" Yuna asked softly.

"It is the first time I saw you wearing a dress."

"Akira-kun gave me this as a Christmas present." Yuna replied.

"Sendoh?" Rukawa frowned slightly turning away from her. He couldn't help but felt a weird anger of wanting to tear Sendoh apart with his hands. "You came here with him?"

"Iya, I came here to meet his parents because they wanted to see me."

"Meeting Sendoh's parents?" Rukawa snorted. "Looks like your relationship with him had gone deeper."

"What are you talking about?" Yuna snapped furiously.

Rukawa ignored her, he kept his gaze at the numbers of the floors flashing on top of the lift doors. Yuna watched him silently and realized that Rukawa didn't know that her betrothal arrangement with Sendoh had been cancelled. She now understood why Rukawa was talking like that. She smiled inwardly to herself then trying not to laugh.

"You are jealous." Yuna said looking at Rukawa amazed.

"Boys don't get jealous…" Rukawa retorted turning back to her.

"Rukawa," Yuna started softly. "I told Akira-kun that I didn't want to be his fiancée a week ago. You weren't around in Kanagawa then. I had no idea you had come to Tokyo. I came here because Akira-kun's parents had invited me to dinner. They are very good friends of my parents and wanted to see me."

Rukawa turned away from her again looking expressionless, he didn't know what to say to her, but he suddenly all the anger he felt inside had just disappeared as he stared up the numbers of the floors flashing as the lift carry them upwards as he felt his heart floating upwards with it.

When they reached their floor they step out the lift quietly. They turned to each other then.

"My room is down the end of this corridor." Yuna said pointing down the left end of the corridor.

"Why don't you come over to my room?" Rukawa said softly. "I have something I want to give you."

Staring at him slightly astounded, Yuna finally nodded softly and followed him to the right where his room was. They walked down the corridor quietly. Rukawa took out his room card key from his pocket to unlock the door and he pushed the door opened to let Yuna in. Yuna walked into the dark room quietly. Rukawa insert the card key on the card holder and the room lights switched on.

Rukawa went over to his bag and took out Yuna's jacket then and passed it to her. Yuna looked up at him surprised.

"I was thinking of giving this back to you when I go back to Kanagawa." Rukawa said. "But since you are here…"

"Why had you been keeping it?" Yuna asked taking the jacket from him.

"It reminds me how much you care about my future to be the best basketball player in Japan."

Yuna eyes widened looking at him. Slowly she smiled, hugging the jacket to herself. "It was my hope…"

Rukawa looked at Yuna gently.

"You gave me a chance to go on after Yuki pass away." Yuna said smiling gently looking into Rukawa blue eyes. They looked really beautiful when they weren't expressionless. "Your promised meant a lot to me, Rukawa."

"I'm glad to hear that." Rukawa replied moving closer to her.

Before he could reach for her, the floor started to shake softly. Yuna looked down surprised, Rukawa looked around him then slightly taken aback. The gentle tremble became worst as Yuna fell to the floor closing her face with both her hands. The floors felt like giving away as it shook terribly beneath their feet.

"ABUNAI!" Rukawa shouted reaching out for Yuna quickly.

Yuna looked up, and saw the walls crumpling down on them. Before she knew what happened next she felt Rukawa grabbing her towards him as he embraced her close to him. The hotel was toppling over caused by the sudden severe earthquake.
