What if Ema never became apart of the Asahina family? Would Yusuke and Ema gotten together in high school? He did have a crush on her from the beginning. Why not?

Second Fanfiction so far. Decided to do this for fun. Tell me what you think but please no rude/explicit comments. Don't know how often I'll be able to update. College/High School student as well as a dancer/teacher. Just a little bit busy... But I will update as often as I can. I know I hate waiting for other stories to be updated :) (Edited)

Ema stared up at the black board trying to retain everything. Math. She detested this subject. Who didn't? She sighed before looking away. Even though she hated the subject it came more easily to her than others in the class. Glancing over, it seemed Yusuke in particular seemed to be at a loss on the current lesson. His face scrunched up as he tried his best to understand what sensei was saying. She looked away staring out the window for the rest of class.

Before she knew it school was over. She sighed again knowing what awaited her at home. She would be alone. She was always alone. Sure she had some people she talked to but she wasn't best friends with anybody. She always felt distant from everyone else because of how she was raised.

She stood up ready to leave. She needed something to do. Anything to keep her from heading straight home to the vacant house.

"Ema," She looked up as sensei called her, "Come here for a second." She headed over to the teacher's stand slowly wondering what this was all about. Then, she noticed Yusuke standing there with his head down looking anywhere but at her. Okay, she thought, that's interesting.

When she reached the desk she looked up expectantly, "Yes sensei?" she asked.

"Since you are one of the brightest students in the class," Ugh, I know where this is going… "Would you mind helping Asahina? He's been struggling in math and…"

"I don't need her help!" He practically shouted slamming his hand on the stand. His cheeks turned red and he looked away. Obviously he was embarrassed, but his statement for some reason made her upset.

"If you don't need my help that's fine," Ema mumbled turning away trying not to get overly emotional. "I'll be leaving then sensei." She then turned quietly away, gathered her stuff, and rushed out the door. Nobody ever really does need me, that's why I'm always alone…

She walked home as fast as she could, hoping neither of them would run after her. When she got home, Juli came rushing to her side screaming "CHIII!"excitedly. How could she have forgotten her furry friend? He has and always would need her. How silly of her to have not thought of that before.

"Hello Juli," Ema smiled down at her friend as he climbed onto her shoulder. "Did you do anything foolish or exciting while I was gone?" Her mood lightened considerably as she talked with her friend. Juli is my one true friend. I will never think that way again, she decided.


The next day Ema got ready with a smile on her face. She had decided to be more positive on not dwell on the fact she was lonely. She needed to focus on others things. With those thoughts in her head, she grabbed her school bag and headed off.

She knew she had left early today, but she didn't realize how early until she reached the school gates. There was practically no one there but a few honor students hanging around outside. Oh well. She thought to herself. I can just study some before class.

She opened the front door and stopped. Her eyes widened and her mouth almost dropped open in shock. Standing right next to her locker was Yusuke Asahina.

He looked straight at her when she came in and blushed a little at her expression. His eyes quickly turned down to stare anywhere but at her.

"L-look," He stumbled out, "I didn't mean to be so harsh yesterday. I didn't mean what I said to sound so rude, I just like to figure things out for myself. I'm…" He sighed and bowed. "I'm sorry."

She quickly ran up to him and took his hand pulling him up, as embarrassed as he was with his actions.

"It's fine." She stated. "I wasn't in the best of moods yesterday, so I should say sorry as well." Then she smiled up at him. "Really it's okay. I understand. And, you know, instead of thinking of it as help, we could simply study together. How about that? I've never had a study partner before." Exactly where am I going with this? She questioned herself. Oh well too late now.

His blush seemed to get redder if that was possible. But answered, "Uh…yeah…sure."

"Great," She grinned even wider, unexpectedly brimming with happiness at the prospect of studying with him. "Want to start after the last class today?"

This time he smiled and actually seemed confident enough to look straight at her. "Definitely!"

She felt her heart skip a beat as he smiled enthusiastically back at her. What have I gotten myself into? She wondered.

So, good? Yes, no? Should I keep it up? Please leave comments :)
