Marmalade Boy:

Miki:

Mrs. Yuu Matsuura???

Chapter 1

Her life was turned upside-down when her parents decided to get a divorce. It probably would have been easier on her if they would just separate but they had to make a mockery of marriage in front of her eyes. Miki was a victim all alone in her fight against it but things got better after she got used to the big family, she even fell in love with her step brother Yuu. They went through many trials to keep their love a secret but eventually the truth came out when they thought that they might be real brother and sister.Before confronting their parents they dicided that if their parents didn't approve of their love they'd go get aloped, even if they were brother and sister. But it ended up they weren't so thats were we left off in our beloved manga. It's been a week since then that's were we begin this tale...

"Yuu?!" Miki called down the hall."Were'd you go?!"

"I'm in the bathroom I just got out of the shower!" he called back to her. He stuck his head out the door,"So whadya want?"

"Oh nothing i just wanted to no where you were is all," she smiled cleanly at him and got ready to turn around and walk away.

He stepped out of the bathroom with a towel around his waist water dripping down his body she was stairing at him wide eyed. Speachless she started to blush and turned away. He made a sour face and looked down at his feet and realized he only had a towel on.

"Oh, haha. That's why you were blushing. Sorry I'll get some cloths on," he was giggleing as he walked back into the bathroom.

"Why did I get so nervous??? I'ts not like I havn't seen his chest and legs before... I wasted another good moment to hold him. Besides the fact that he was all clean and probably smelled good. Not that he doesn't smell good all the time...What in the heck am I thinking about!" she tought as she stroke back to her room.

She closed the door behind her and pulled open her top drawer. She had all the belongings that Yuu had given to her. She lifted the plad shirt she took the one time he didn't get her a presant and told her to take one from his room. She burried her face in it. It smelled of him she breathed in the sent slowly.

"Hey what are you doing?" Yuu was in her door way,"Hey, isn't that the shirt I gave you?"

"Uh, yea... I was...Well..." She was caught smelling his shirt, now how was she gonna explain that to Yuu.

"Ha! You were smelling my shirt!" He started to laugh really hard.

"Ya, so what if I was! What are you gonna do about it! It's my shirt now I can do anything i want with it!" She was blushing, she was completely red.

"Oh, I don't care if you do. I'm thinking about it though...I gave that to you so many years ago," He was reminissing, looking at his hands,"So do you still play tennis?"

"Huh? Oh yea, I do accationally. Not as much anymore," She told him as she put the plad shirt on,"I never really wore this shirt. It's accually pretty comfy..."

"Yea, it was my favorate shirt," he said to her,"Looks good on you."

"Thank you," She said as she sat down on her bed.

He walked over to her and looked at her with his shimmering eyes. She looked up at him with a strange glare in her eyes.

"What is he up to?" she thought looking up at him, then looking away she seemed to be concentrating really hard on a pencil on her desk.

"What can be more interesting that looking at me? huh? Why are you so embarassed all the sudden around me?" He knelt down in front of her.

"Well, I-I-I don't know... I just am," She stood and walked to her door,"Besides breakfast is waiting we should go."

She opened the door looked away from him and walked out of the room. He sat there kind of confused. What wasn't she telling him? Why was she all distant all the sudden? She had told him once she can't live wihout him and now she can't be in the same room alone with him for more then five minutes.

"Women...A mystery I might never understand...::sigh:: Oh well, there's food waiting."

Down stairs Miki was sitting at the table joining hers' and Yuus' parents. She sits and takes some toast and looks in front of her and sees a bottle of marmalade. The conversation bettween her and Yuu so many years before ran through her head. Naturally she giggled and let out a little sigh. Her mother looks at her interested in why she did what she had just done. Then noticed the plad shirt she was wearing.

"Hey Miki is that a new shirt? I've never seen you wear it before," Her mother said breaking the silence.

"Oh no, not exactly I've had it for a couple years acually," she answered still lookig at the bottle of marmalade then she looked up and smiled at her mother.

"Isn't that Yuu's shirt i remember him wearing it alot," Yuu's mother spouted.

"Well yes, yes it is... But he gave it to me a couple of years ago. We had just started dating then," Miki explained.

"Oh that's right you and Yuu were together then..." Her father said inbettween chews,"So you guys still planing on getting married and making our family the strangest of all! haha"

"I, uh, well..."her face reddened with the comment,"I can't talk about it right now"

She lifted from her seat and left the table and started toward the stares. She walked up them with a distant face and passed Yuu, who was on his way down stares to eat. He looked at her face as she passed him. She staired at the floor with a blank stair as she got up the stares and started down the hall. Yuu, standing on the stairs looked at his and Miki's parents and ran up the stairs toward her room.

"Miki?" He said as he knocked on her door, she didn't answer. He knocked harder, "I know you're in there. What did they say? Why are you angry?"

"I'm not angry. Just confused..." She answered with a distant voice.

"I'm coming in." He shook the door knob,"Unlock the door. Please unlock it..." he stood out side her door for five minutes and there wasn't any return."Why are you pissed at me? You can talk to me you know."

"I told you I'm not mad! Please go away and let me think..." She said walking to the door."I'm not angry at you. I can never be angry at you, you know that...Please, just go I'll talk to you later."

"Okay...I'll see you later then," he looked at the door and went down the hall and stood there stairing at her door.

Inside her room she was leaning againts her door. She slid down and sat leaning against it. She started to cry.

"Why does it hurt... I have him now... I should be basking in happiness with him...So why???" She sobed quietly.

But not quiet enough, though. Yuu had snuck back to her door and he heard her. He had wanted to say something but he didn't know what. He could only stay and hoped she would stop crying and open her door to find him and be happy. He stayed sitting outside her door for two hours and then she finally stopped. Relieved he had whiped away tears that came to his own eyes while listening to her he stood and faced her door. The door slowly slid open, Miki's eyes were puffy and pink.

"oh...Yuu..."She said quietly, tear started to stream down her face and she hugged him tightly they both slid to sitting position on the floor.They sat there for about 10 minutes."I'm sorry...I can't stop them... I need to get my eyes cecked out." Sobbing she looked up at him and realized that he was crying too."Sorry, I'm a bad person, I'm making you cry..."

"No, it's okay, I deserve it. It's my fault you were crying in the first place.." He whiped away his tears.

"hmph.." she smiled at him and whiped her tears away and sat up.

"uh, Miki?" he said to her, she then looked at him curiously."I don't have anything to give you but..." She looked at him confused,"Will you, ah, how do I put this??? Umm will you marry me Miki?"

"Yes, gladly..." she smiled,"You are mine, aren't you?"

"Always..." He said as he smiled gently and held her in his arms.

She was smiling so much her cheecks started to throb, but she didn't mind it very much.As long as she was with him nothing else matters, nothing, not ever again...
