She wanted to be happy while he wanted to make people happy…

She yearns for love while he was incapable of loving on his own will…

She believes in happy end while he believes in dead end…

She's the Pink Princess while he's the Blue Prince…

These two are the total epitome of cat and dog…

When combined oil and water…

Like day and night…

When together?

MORTAL ENEMIES

Put a pink haired yandere and a teenage boy detective together and you got yourself

CATASTROPHE

But things happen when you least expect them and when they do it'll change every view you have about life.

Can love conquer hate?

But then sometimes hate is a disguised form of love

There was a glow in the sky as a shining disk emerged on the horizon. Sunrise filled the forest with a watery glow. There is the sound of happily chirping birds as they sing their songs of joy, welcoming the bright promise of the day. There was a harmony of sounds as rustling noise of animals running and frolicking in the bush could be heard in the background. The flowers covering the ground were bathed in golden light. A shower of sunlight falls through the trees. The first light of day picks its way through the tents. For a moment everything looked enchanted but unfortunately the euphony of comforting sounds were interrupted by an anger-strained voice.

"AKISE ARU!" Birds flew off from the trees they were perched on, alarmed at the cacophony of sound that broke off the peace.

Camping was gonna be fun …they said.

It was gonna be relaxing … they said.

It was gonna be peace and quiet …they said.

But boy were they wrong.

Sighing inwardly and still holding the pink haired girl's wrist grasping a knife. Yuno had been trying to kill him… again. He was not surprised when she snuck into his tent with a knife in hand but fortunately for him Yuno had underestimated him and brought herself to do something rash as this. Maybe he really got on her nerves the day before and it drove her to this but then again it was like everything he did always got on her nerves, even breathing," Gasai-san, isn't it a bit early for this?"

"Shut up! I'll kill you, Akise Aru," Yuno snarled and gave the silver haired boy holding her hand wrist to keep her from doing anything with her knife. She struggled to get her hand off his tight grip.

It was always like this with the usual 'I'll kill you' threat and dirty looks Akise had gotten used to by now," What could you possibly obtain with this Gasai-san?" He knew asking that question was futile but he didn't care. He was just saying those just for the sake of talking. All he really cared right now is to slip back to his warm sleeping bag and let sleep take over him. And he really couldn't do that with Yuno Gasai in his tent.

"I'll have Yukkii all for myself…" Yuno scowled at him. She considers everyone close to Yukki a threat and she had to get rid of all the threat starting with Akise Aru, and she could have all her precious Yuki to herself. He didn't need friend, all he needed was HER. HER!

"Yes Gasai-san, you could have Yuki's trust by killing his friend so he'll just get mad at you for killing a friend. That could really work well," Akise had his usual smile plastered on his face. There was a hint of sarcasm in his voice.

Yuno noticed the sarcasm and glared daggers at him," AKISE ARU!"

Everyone's peaceful sleep was interrupted by the same familiar voice. They no doubt knew it was coming from a certain pink haired girl. They could hear the entire ruckus from their tent. They knew it was a bad idea having Akise's tent next to Yuno but what choice do they have? No one wanted their tent next to Yuno Gasai. Akise being the last one to pick his area had to build his tent next to the girl who hated him more than anything in the world despite Yuno's protest about having Yuki's tent next to hers instead. They were still gonna be like that anyway even without the proximity of their tent.

Another noise and Hinata could swear that a vein just popped. She desperately needed some sleep," DO YOU MIND ?! SOME PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO SLEEP!"

"IF YOU GUYS KEEP THIS UP YOU'RE GONNA BE MARRIED BEFORE THIS CAMPING TRIP EVEN ENDS!" Kousaka yelled from his tent.

After hearing the last sentence Yuno's brows creases, her eyes narrowed, gritting her teeth- and Akise knew he was so dead. Yuno Gasai's temper-meter just went all the way up to dangerous, more dangerous than usual.

She tried prying her hands off his grasp but it was no use, Akise was stronger than her. So instead she pushed him hard. This caused Akise to fall, pulling Yuno with him and so the both of them tumbled down in heap on his sleeping bag, producing a thud.

Yukiteru who was trying his best to ignore all the noise and go back to sleep heard the thud. He knew the source of the sound was from a certain silver haired boy's tent. Getting a sudden feeling of uneasiness he picked himself up from his sleeping bag. He felt that something was wrong and the last thing he wanted to see was a lifeless corpse of Akise Aru. He knew the two better than anyone else so he feared the worst. Dragging his feet, he started toward the blue tent. He pushed open the flap of the tent," He guys y…" He trailed off as his gaze landed on the scene before him. His eyes turned wide as saucers, he couldn't believe it. He just can't. Yuno Gasai was on top of the person she hated more than anything else in the whole world (So much for hate).

Yuno's eyes widened too, like a deer caught on headlights. Akise who was under her, didn't know where to start.

Yuki composed himself. He opened his mouth to speak. He was looking away, as a hint of blush was evident on his face because of the little scene he just walked into," I… uh… uhm… could you guys keep it down? Some people are trying to sleep." With that Yuki walked, embarrassed, ashamed of himself for being caught up in 'that' situation.

It was just like the first time they met. Back at the observatory dock where she pinned him underneath her because she figured out he wasn't a diary holder and he was lying. He accused him of playing with Yuki's life on the line. He could still remember the piercing look she gave him, the deadly look that her eyes gave off. Now here she was again, he was underneath her again. But there was no murderous look or eyes shooting daggers at him there was complete and utter shock. Her eyes that should've been crimson red with rage but were a beautiful shade of thulian pink were staring wide-eyed at him. They stayed like that for a moment, shocked. But then they heard someone enter the tent. They turned their heads to the new presence and saw Yukiteru standing there. He stood there, wide-eyed, realizing what situation he just walked into.

He opens his mouth to speak. He looks away, as a hint of blush was evident on his face,"I… uh… uhm… could you guys keep it down? Some people are trying to sleep." With that Yuki walked, embarrassed.

Yuno and Akise calls to him in unison, fearing that he just had the wrong idea.

"Yukki..!"

"Yukiteru-kun.

Yuno stumbles to catch up with Yukiteru and to try and talk to him, leaving the silver haired boy alone in his tent. He tried to register what just happened. A stage feeling began welling up inside him and he decides he needs some fresh air. He found himself walking away from the camp. Maybe a nice quiet nature walk could help him relax a bit and keep some things of his mind.

Akise walked in Mother Nature's sanctuary, trees as far as the eyes could see, standing arms linked for miles in a silent choir and with no human in sight to break the comfort and serenity.

Or so he thought.

"You can come out now, Gasai-san," Akise said, not even turning to look at the pink haired girl hiding behind the bushes.

An angry Yuno Gasai emerged from the bushes and a growl slipped past her lips. Bloodlust was eveident in her eyes.

"What brings you here, Gasai-san?" Akise asked casually, turning to look at the enraged female.

"To kill you," She scowled, bringing up a knife. She pointed it at Akise.

Akise just sighs," Gasai-san, you do know that doing that is just futile, right?" He was getting tired with this routine and just wanted to have a peaceful nature walk and relax with no human in sight.

Without any warning Yuno lunged at him. Akise side steps her attack but Yuno was determined and she abruptly kicks him. Akise wasn't able to avoid the kick and he slipped and fell as the ground under them crushed and they both fell into a cave hitting the ground with a thud, both losing consciousness.

Akise fells a numbing sensation in his head, like he just hit something hard plus he felt a weight on him. He tries to blink his eyes open until he managed to fully open his eyes. But what he saw upon opening his eyes took him by surprise the second time today.

And for the second time today he found himself under Yuno Gasai… again.

But fortunately for him she was unconscious won't be able to kill him, not like she would even be able to kill him even if she were conscious. He gently gets her off on him.

Then the next thing he knew her eyes fluttered open, revealing beautiful thulian pink eyes.

Before she could make her move and attempt to kill him again he opened his mouth to speak," Don't even think about it. We're stuck in this cave because of you and we need to help each other so we could get out of here."

But Yuno didn't seem to be listening she looked like was distant. Her overshadowed by her bangs but something seemed off and Akise noticed it.

Then he noticed something glistening down her cheeks.

She was crying.

Yuno Gasai was crying.

He couldn't believe his eyes.

The tears began trickling down her cheeks, lips slightly parted. She had a distant look on her eyes.

"Momma…" Came her quavering voice that sounded oh so sad. It barely covered that sob that she was trying so hard not to produce but it slips past her lips.

"I'm sorry, momma.."

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry," Her voice was shaky and there was melancholy in her tone.

"No, wait Momma…" She chokes out a sob.

"Momma… wait, momma. Please…. Momma get me out of here…"

And Yuno went hysterical as more and more tears fell over her cheeks like a fretful stream of emotions. All that came out of her mouth were deep, heart-wrenching sobs. She gasped, coughed, cried as she rocked herself back and forth. The wailing and suffering echoed through the small, really small cave.

There was still that distant look on her eyes.

He felt his heart drop at the sight of her. It felt strange but somehow it there's a great weight around his heart upon seeing her like this.

So vulnerable…

Gone was the ruthless, cold, bloodthirsty psychopath.

But instead before him is crying Yuno Gasai and that psychopath in her was just a ghost of what stood before him now.

She looked so… broken.

Behind that mask…

Behind everything…

There's this girl who was and still broken.

Behind the ruthless and cold demeanor…

There's loneliness and sorrow…

She's broken but she tries to hide it in each possible way…

He remembers that first time he saw her. The first time his gaze landed on her at that street with a sea of people. The pink was unique, it made her stand out from the others. He noticed something that day- the girl with a broken smile.

And then there was that time at the observatory dock where she pointed a knife to his neck and all he did was blink innocently and smile. But it was also that time where they worked together for the first and last time. He had to admit they made a good team.

But now…

She was none of those…

Deep down she had always been broken and she kept it to herself. No one to share to pain with. But people are like clouds too, when the pressure gets too much to handle you just have to let it out.

Maybe…

Maybe he could change that…

Akise places both his hands on her trembling shoulders. He looked directly to her eyes with determination.

"Gasai-san…" He says firmly but gently.

She continues to sob, cough, and gasp, mind elsewhere.

He shakes her gently to get her attention but to no avail. She was so close to him and yet so far. He couldn't even reach her.

So he did the unthinkable.

He wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into an embrace.

Oh Yuno was going to kill him.

But he doesn't care.

The image of a broken Yuno Gasai was planted in his mind and he didn't want to see her like that.

"Sshh… It's okay," He tried soothing her, tracing little circles at her back.

"I was happy with my family once. Until the money began emotionally and psychologically affect my parents," Akise flinched at hearing her sweet, soft voice. But there was a great melancholy present in her tone of voice," Papa stayed away. Momma began abusing me… S-she eventually locked me in a cage. She left me to starve and at times force-feeding me inedible materials. I…" Her voice trailed of and she gripped on Akise, hugging him back.

Akise felt comfortable. Her hands were small and soft. And there was an inexplainable feeling at edg of his heart. The thump thump in his heart becomes louder and louder like it was gonna erupt soon in his chest.

He tries to push those thoughts away and focus his attention to the girl in his arms. So she was abused by her family. She said her family was working overseas but he really doubts that. He had a bad feeling about it.

"Ssh… It's okay. No one's gonna abuse you anymore," Akise knew why she was scared. She was scared because the cave reminds her of the cage. The small area, it was like a cage and she was trying to get out of it.

Her grip tightened.

There were many questions that were running through his head, like what happened to the Yandere Yuno Gasai? Should she be trying to kill him by now?

Many questions that are yet to be answered but right now the urge of helping this broken girl in his arms are hard to resists.

And before he knew it he did something that would change his life forever.

"I know this world might be scary but don't worry. No one can hurt you while I'm around and I'll stay by your side," He suddenly blurted out without even thinking of the consequences or how it would affect the future later," Besides it'll be all over soon."

But what shocked him was her actually answering. He didn't even expect her to answer him.

"Promise?" She said in that shaky but soft voice. She held her pinky up to make a pinky promise.

Akise smiled softly and intertwined his pinky with hers," I promise."

Little did I know that from then and there my life was bound to take twist.

Just because of one single promise.

And Yuno Gasai would go through drastic measures just so a promise would be kept and not broken.

"Guys, have you seen Yuno and Akise?" Yukiteru asked, noticing that he hasn't seen two ever since the little incident. He has an unsettling feeling welling inside him.

"Come to think of it, no, I haven't seen those two," Hinata shook her head slightly.

"No wonder it's suddenly silent," Mao uttered.

"Who cares? Atleast it's quiet now," Kousaka shrugged casually.

"We have to find those two. What if they're together and you know those two always tries to kill each other," Yukiteru said.

Suddenly ominous clouds hovered above them and swelled the sphere of warm light, casting a shadow over the land. The winds howled violently followed by light pitter patter of rain that threatened to fall heavier.

"But first we need to find a shelter. Our tents can't hold this strong storm," Hinata said, regarding the dark clouds and the now getting heavier rain.

Yukiteru hesitated before he nodded slightly," Then after the storm we're gonna head out and find those two."

"I think I saw a cottage over there," Mao said, pointing at a distant.

He knew it was raining outside, probably a storm. He could hear the heavy pitter patter just outside the cave. Now he knows the other aren't going to find them sooner. He gives a hopeless sigh at the thought of being stuck here even longer.

His gaze landed on the sleeping form beside him, her head on his shoulder. Maybe life is really full of things you couldn't control especially surprises. This day was full of surprises and all that points to the girl beside him at that moment.

In his mind was a flash of crimson eyes and red-stained axe - that was all Yuno Gasai but right now this girl isn't all that. She seemed as innocent as a babe. Gone was the monster he saw all those times and all he could see right now was a girl, who was lost and uncertain. Lost in the world's tangled web of lies. A girl with a bitter and dark past. A girl who lost everything in just a blink of an eye. A girl who smiles just so nobody knows how sad and lonely she is. A girl who was all alone in this harsh place we call life.

"I know this world might be scary but don't worry. No one can hurt you while I'm around and I'll stay by your side."

"Promise?"

A small smile form on his lips," I promise, I'll stay by your side."

Akise groaned as the ray of the sunlight hit his face. He wondered how long he'd been asleep. Then he remembered all the things that happened the other day. He abruptly snaps his eyes fully open and turn his head. He lets out a breathe he didn't he was holding as his gaze fell on the pink haired girl sleeping comfortably with her head on his shoulder.

"Akise-kun! Yuno!" He heard a familiar voice. Looks like their rescue was here already.

"Told you it was gonna be all over soon," He pushed a lock of her hair that seemed out of place behind her ear.

Before he could stand and move his hand away, he felt something stuck to it, something warm and soft. His gaze fell on his hand intertwined with Yuno's.

"You promise me… you'd stay by my side," She muttered in her sleep, tightening her grip on Akise's hand.
