Someone was watching him. That is the conclusion Tsukasa has drawn over the past weeks, everytime he takes a stroll on the beach, or browses the market, the back of his neck prickles. The feeling of eyes watching him making him uneasy, and Tsukasa is determined to find out just who it is! Huffing to himself, Tsukasa slumped back on the woven beach chair, running a hand through his wavy blonde hair, the scent of salt water fresh on his nose.
Currently, Tsukasa was sitting on his porch, wracking his brain for possible suspects of the mystery stalker. Yet, every name he can think of is instantly dismissed, because why would any of them be stalking him? Certainly it's not Saki, she sees him everyday, and as his precious baby sister, he has full faith in her! Nodding to himself Tsukasa brainstorms again. It can't be Toya, first off, he lives in the city, which is about 20 minutes away from the beach side, where Tsukasa resides. Secondly, he is practically held captive by his father, who wants Toya to be a professional Pianist, so Toya is off the list. Emu? No no, she's his neighbor, she can easily just walk over to his house and barge in as she pleases (which she has done). Could it be... Akito? Tsukasa snorts at the thought, Akito would never take the time out of his day to stalk Tsukasa when he could be sneaking Toya out of the house and doing whatever they do. And now, Tsukasa is out of suspects. He groans to himself, sliding down in his chair and staring into the sky in defeat. He has no idea, not one! He pushes himself up, wiping the sweat off his forehead as the sun beats down on him, the sound of crashing waves and seagulls a constant lull. He taps his finger on his knee, moving his gaze out to the rolling ocean, the sun reflecting off the water. Well then, it seems Tsukasa will simply have to lure out his stalker!
Later on, as the sun started to set and the air cooled down, Tsukasa sat on the couch, contemplating how to unveil his stalker. "Maybe... set a trap? Like in horror movies? No no, that's too obvious..." Tsukasa muttered to himself, a pen in his hand and a notebook on his lap. "Maybe I could go into a dark alleyway and say 'I know you're there'? No that's asking to get kidnapped..." As much as he tried, Tsukasa's mind was drawing a blank, no new ideas coming to him. Groaning to himself Tsukasa set the pencil down on the notebook, leaning back against the blue sofa and waiting for some inspiration to appear.
He perked up at the sound of the door opening, and a familiar voice calling out to him. "Onii-chan! I'm home!" The door closed, and the sound of feet against the wooden floor approached him. He turned to the living room entrance, smiling at the sight of his Sister. "SAKI!!!" He greeted her, his voice booming. Her face broke out into a grin, her golden locks framing her nicely. "Onii-chan! What are you up to?" She questioned, walking over to the sofa and and peering over his shoulder, the sight of random words greeted her. She squinted at them and read them. "Trap..? Alleyway? STALKER?!" Her wide pink eyes turned to Tsukasa, confusion and surprise written all over her face. Tsukasa nervously chuckled and scratched his neck. "Ahhh.... Well, you see my dear sister! I believe I have a stalker!" He confessed, his expression sheepish. "WHAT?! A STALKER!?" Saki yelled, her body straightening out, and her posture tense. She grabbed onto Tsukasa's shoulder and stared him in the eyes. "Are you ok?! How did you find out?!" Tsukasa sighed and patted her arms in attempt to soothe her concern. His gaze traveled to the picture frames hanging on the walls, thinking of where to start. Glancing back to Saki, he smiled tiredly and started explaining to her. He told her about how everywhere he went, he could feel someone staring, and how it's gotten to a point that it's unnerving.
Saki frowned, a look of concentration on her face as she put her hands on her hips. "A way to lure them out huh...? Well, from what you've said, it seems they only appear when you're near the ocean, so perhaps start there? Catch them in the act!" She exclaimed, snapping his fingers as her eyes brightened. She practically vibrated as she pointed to Tsukasa and declared; "Pretend you're injured! You could be along the beach shore and act like you get hurt and can't get up! Either they'll see that as their chance to strike or they'll try to help you!" Tsukasa stared at her, processing her idea before frowning in thought. "But if they want to hurt me why would I give them an opportunity to do that?" Saki huffed and shook her head at him, crossing her arms infront of her white crop top. "That's why you have some form of defense on you! Carry a knife or something, then you'll be fine!" She proclaimed, smiling in self approval. Tsukasa leaned back on the sofa, it was a pretty clever idea... "Ok fine! You've got a point, then that's what I'll do!" Now fired up, Tsukasa shot up off the sofa and turned to Saki, hands on his hips. "That's my Onii-chan! " She giggled, clapping her hands together. By now the sun had fully set, the only light in the beach house coming from the lamp near the sofa. With a yawn, Tsukasa looked over to the clock, the time reading as 8:10 pm. "Well my dear sister, it's rather late, I should be heading to bed!" Normally Tsukasa goes to bed at 8:00, but his stalker has been keeping him up. Saki chuckled and nodded her head. "Can't keep you up past 8 can we! Have a good sleep Onii-chan!" Smiling, Tsukasa ruffled his sisters hair and headed up to him room, drifting off with the thought of his mystery stalker fresh in his mind.
