AN: Hello there everyone! First of all - I KNOW I have other stories I have to continue, and that people are patiently (or not xD) waiting for me to update.

But I really got a lot of inspiration for a Hana Yori Dango story, concerning Yuki and Soujirou.

So I decided to upload it already so I would have a start, and won't forget about it ^^


The Story is based basically on the Japanese Drama version of Hana Yori Dango, and takes place right after the final scene in Hana Yori Dango Final, where you see Soujirou running from Yuki. It's not really important to have seen this, but just to know that this is how you could imagine it to understand the story the best.

If not, I hope this story might still be enjoyable to read for you guys ^^

So here's the first chapter, I hope to be able to update soon - and my other stories too! :3


'What am I doing?' Soujirou thought, while running so hard that it was making him pant. Ah right, he was running away from that girl who seemed to have a crush on him, Yuki-chan. Tsukushi's best friend. Why was he running? He had no idea. Just every time she showed up, his body made him get away as fast as possible. ''Nishikado-san?'' The familiar voice called behind him. No! Don't look behind! He ran faster and finally she lost track of him. He sat down in an ally and rested against the wall. Why oh why was it like this? He thought for a moment.

Hmm, he knew why. This girl was driving him crazy. She was the only one that made him ever feel that tingly feeling he was afraid they call ''love''. He didn't want to be like that. He had always been messing around with girls, rich girls, pretty girls, there was no deep meaning behind it all. It was all fine like that. But Yuki… she was just a simple, poor Dango-shop girl. Yet she made his heart skip a beat whenever she just smiled at him, even when she was not as stunning as girls he had messed around with. No, Yuki was different. And finally he came to realization. He was afraid of her. He was afraid of Yuki, and how she made him feel. He didn't want that! He wasn't asking for it, so why did this girl make him feel like that! She only had a simple crush on him, yet she had no idea how she was driving him crazy.

"Found you''

It felt like his heart stopped for a while when he heard Yuki's soft voice. He looked up at her. She was standing right in front of him – he had been so deep in his thoughts that he hadn't even realized it until she talked – her hair was a mess, and she was panting from all the running. She threw his book at his feet, and he gasped in shock.

''Why… why can't you just sign it like you did to all others? Why can't you kiss my hand like you do to those other girls? Am I that terrible? Don't I deserve that little more respect?" Soujiro hadn't her expected to be so angry and upset. This wasn't the first time he ran away from her – or maybe that was the problem... Yuki laughed but he could see she didn't find any about this funny. "You're always running away from me. I'm getting tired of it you know" She still smiled but he could notice from her eyes that she was hurt. He felt himself hurt too, he didn't want to hurt her. Yet, he did... He didn't know what to say.

''Yuki-chan… I –" '

'Nishikado-san'' She interrupted him.

Her voice sounded confident and serious.

She was looking the other way, but he could see her eyes. She looked even more beautiful when she was so confident. Being shy was cute, but this made her look even more mature. ''I promise I won't bother you anymore'' She said. Before Soujiro could respond to that she continued. ''BUT-'' she turned her eyes back at him. ''One condition. Tell me the reason, why you run away from me''. There followed a brief moment of silence, as Soujiro opened his mouth and closed it again, not knowing how to respond. ''Heh..'' Yuki laughed softly again. ''Now you're probably thinking of what's the most appropriate way to tell me that I'm just terrible, that I don't deserve your attention. I'm just a simple nothing, compared to those other girls. Is it because I'm poor? Ugly?'' She rattled on. '

'Yuki-chan, it's not like that…''

''Then what is it?" He noticed tears in her eyes.

''Back then, you treated me so kindly. You made me feel so happy'' She sobbed. ''Just being by your side, your friendship. Your help, your attention! It made me feel so happy, but…'' She paused, looking at him with her teary eyes. ''But recently all you've been doing is avoiding me… just tell me what I've done wrong! You don't need to return to being kind to me, but just tell me the reason. That way I think I could be able to accept it'' She said. God, she was such a nice, strong girl. Her words made him even go crazier, had she any idea what she was doing to his overworking mind? But what could he say?

''It's nothing…'' His cold voice sounded, and it felt like this was the first time he said something in ages. He got up and walked away. ''Really, you've done nothing wrong'' Yuki's eyes widened with disbelief as she watched him walk away. He just couldn't answer the question. He wasn't meant to love. Relations, true love, those things didn't suit him! In the end he would probably be the one who would hurt the girl. Besides, if answering the question really meant that Yuki wouldn't bother him anymore, he would have even more reason not to answer it. He wanted her to keep following him around like always... And he knew he was being selfish.

''Nishikado-san!'' He stopped walking and after a few seconds dared to turn around to look at her. She was still standing at the same spot. ''You haven't answered my question! But don't worry about it! I'll forget about the condition and do just as you please! I won't bother you anymore'' She said. She had a smile on her face when she said this, what made him feel even more terrible.

''But –'' She didn't notice he wanted to say something but continued. ''I'm sorry for all these times I've followed you around! I just, really liked you'' She said. ''Goodbye'' With that she turned and walked away. He wanted to stop her. Shout at her. Tell her to keep visiting him, that she wasn't terrible but so amazing that he was afraid he had completely fallen for her. But he didn't. He didn't! He rubbed his head with a stressful sigh and then left off. Maybe he should be happy, she wouldn't bother him now anymore, so he wouldn't have to worry about love. He looked behind once more to watch her walk away. Her hands were empty. Could it be… He quickly ran back towards the ally.

His book was still on the ground where she had thrown it. Was she that serious? She just left it! He sighed and sat back at the same spot, thinking things over.

What a mess…
