Yuki sat silently on the edge of the staircase, not even noticing Shigure stopping to glare.
It all happened too fast...
"Right now i'm afraid of you, Kyo, but lets go home. I want us to stay together."
Those were Tohru's words to Kyo. Yuki was heartbroken by them.
And all this time he thought she had actually loved him...
I'll get over her...eventually... Yuki had thought so many times.
***
Yuki was laying in bed now, still upset. He drifted into an uneasy sleep and dreamed strange dreams, of new people, all around. He felt so lost, scared.
In the morning Yuki undressed and got into his uniform. He pushed the memories to the back of his mind as he walked stiffly to school, Kyo and Tohru chatting exuberantly behind him. For a moment during the walk Yuki closed his eyes to try and concentrate on something else.
"Yuki-san? What about you?" Asked Tohru out of the blue, while Yuki hadn't heard the question.
"I apologize, but I-"
He tripped on what he thought was a rock, falling forward onto his hands and knees. He was filled with slight anger as he saw that Kyo and Tohru hadn't stopped to help. He picked himself up absent-minded, walking straight into a rush of blonde hair.
Thankful he hadn't transformed, he attempted to apologize, but she cut him off.
"Oh! Im so s-sorry. I'm new and... oh I'm such a klutz! Forgive my clumsiness..."
Her rosy cheeks turned red as she stumbled to pick up her books. He quickly helped the girl, absolutely mesmerized by her stunning blue eyes.
"O-oh, don't apologize, it was I who should have looked where I was going." Yuki stuttered, passing her books to her.
"Im Yuk-" He said, holding out a hand, but the girl was no where to be seen.
He sat in his new spot up the back, well away from Tohru and...him. Yuki rested his face on his hands, glaring at the new couple. The first bell rang, and class started.
"Class, today we have a new student." The teacher announced, raising his hand at the door. The strange girl Yuki met before entered, her head low.
"If you will excuse me class, I need to get some photocopied work. Continue with your maths booklet please."
Once the teacher left the room, one of the boys coughed, "Loser!... ahem" and everyone laughed, including Tohru. It was amazing what Kyo could do to change her this much.
The girl walked forwards, towards the boy that teased her. She slowly lifted a book that looks rather heavy, and wacked it across his head, before walking on and taking the seat next to Yuki. With the boy still clutching his head, the girl paid no attention. She opened a blank book, got out a pen, and began to scribble on the corners of a random page.
At recess, Yuki sat on a bench and ate the rice balls that Tohru kindly made for him, when he heard the boy that had teased the girl during class bragging about something.
"Well, it's pretty obvious that she likes me. I mean, why else would she try to impress me?" he boasted.
Then the girl walked past and the boy suddenly stood up straighter and muttered to his friends, "Watch and learn, boys."
Yuki quickly picked up a book and pretended to read.
"Hey, you. Girl. Since you're so into me, lets go out. How 'bout Saturday at the movies. See you there."
"Can't" Replied the girl.
"Why?"
"Number 1, we don't even know each-others name, and 2... I... Im already in a relationship."
For some reason, Yuki's heart sank.
"W-with who?!" the boy stuttered.
He had got her there. She looked around and spotting Yuki, nearly ran over to him. Yuki felt startled being suddenly brought into the conversation. She asked in barely a whisper,
"What's your name?"
"Uh, Y-Yuki."
"Yuki. Ok. Im so sorry, I'll explain later."
She grabed his hand and pulled him back to the boy, and stated:
"Yuki."
Yuki only blushed a little.
The boy glared at him for a moment before turning on his heel and strutting off.
The girl, still clutching Yuki's hand, ran in another direction behind the school toilets.
"Wow." She said.
"Y-yes... Uh- sorry about this morning. I should have looked where I was going."
"Don't worry. Ummm.... thanks... for before. Pretending to be my boyfriend."
The idea seemed to perk Yuki up.
"No problem..."
An awkward silence broke over them.
"Well I better go...See you, Yuki."
"Yes... Bye, ...uh..."
"Sakura."
"Oh... well...bye, Sakura."
Just like last time, she was gone.
Darn it, Yuki. Why do you always have to mess up?? I was so rude... why couldn't I think of anything to say?...
***
They were all at the table, eating dinner.
"Oh, Yuki!" Shigure suddenly announced.
"I forgot to tell you, Ayame is coming for a visit on Saturday."
Yuki dropped his spoon.
"Thank-you for the dinner, Miss Honda. It was lovely. If you will excuse me, I have some homework to do."
"Why is it so hard for you too see him?" Kyo began.
"None of you business." Yuki finished, and walked upstairs, thinking of a solution.
At school the next day, Yuki had already thought of a way to not see his older brother.
He walked around the school at lunch, searching. He found her sitting on a bench behind the toilets reading. He walked up to Sakura, the memorized lines of what he was going to say ready in his mind.
"Good morning, Sakura."
"Oh, hello, Yuki." She said cheerfully, smiling.
"On Saturday... erm... I-"
"On my "pretend date"?" She laughed. Yuki laughed along too, naturally.
"Do you happen to be doing anything t-that day?" Yuki flushed.
"Of course not. Why?"
"Well, uh- I was going to dinner that night, and... I thought it would be much more fun if you came, too. If you want." Yuki spoke quickly to get it over with.
Sakura and Yuki stared into each-others eyes for a moment, before Sakura replied,
