Chapter 1: Peace In The World

Do you believe that there is real love in this world? Do you believe that in this world, you will find your soulmate? Many things have been said about this emotion but are they really true? Does love conquer all?

Miaka Yuki jumped up and down in anticipation. She has just finished making a batch of cookies for her boyfriend and was ecstatic to find out how it tasted. She couldn't read the expression on Tamahome's face. She couldn't figure out what he felt about her baking. It was true that baking was never her forte, but it dosen't hurt to try. Try and try until you die, as they say. Unfortunately, in this case, it is Tamahome whose life is in danger. He was already marked as Miaka Yuki's official cookie sampler.

"So? How does it taste?" Miaka asked as she settled beside her boyfriend. They were in the living room and the batch of cookies laid on the table. "Let's put it this way Miaka," the blue-haired bishounen started, "Everything you bake tastes great to me." There was a squeal of glee as she hugged Tamahome. He was a sweet guy although there were times that he could be so arrogant.

The telephone rang and interrupted them. "Excuse me while I get that." Miaka said as she went to get the phone. A few minutes later, she came back with a smile on her face. "That was Yui. She's ready to go." The couple gathered their jackets and locked the house behind them. They were on their way to visit Yui at the hospital. The girl fell down the stairs the other night and needed to cast her left hand. They were supposed to wait for her call to fetch her.

The sweet couple rode on a black scooter which Tamahome bought, just a few days after their business with Tenko in the other world. The hero had been fascinated with the transportation as they passed by the auto shop. He couldn't resist and so, he bought himself one. The ride was fast and they were in front of the hospital in no time.

"I'm really glad that you guys agreed to fetch me. Tetsuya dosen't know anything about my clumsiness. He's away on a family business." Just as she said that, Tetsuya and Keisuke burst through the door. They were both out of breath. It took a while before they could both speak.

"Daijobou?" Tetsuya asked. Yui nodded. Behind him was an exasperated Keisuke. "I was in the library doing some research when he suddenly appeared and dragged me to the hospital. I have no idea how he found out about your little accident but it wasn't me who told him that." His best friend raised an eyebrow. "Research? I didn't know that picking up a lady was considered as homework my dear friend." Testuya replied. "It was your neighbor who told me. I rushed to the library because I knew that Keisuke would surely know which hospital you are in." he explained. Yui nodded and brushed off the wrinkles on her dress. "I'm good to go now guys." she said as she put on a sunny smile. "Let's go!"

It was agreed that Tetsuya would take Yui home. Keisuke asked to be dropped off at the library again. Miaka and Tamahome sped off to the park. They decided to have a little date before returning home. There was a park near enough and they went to their favorite spot. A bench underneath the tree, facing the lake. It was secluded and no one would disturb them there. The couple sat on the bench. Miaka's head rested on her boyfriend's shoulder as they watched the ducks swim.

Tetsuya escorted his girl inside her house. There was no one home as Yui's parents were on vacation. The blonde sat on her living room couch and shut her eyes. "I guess it will be hard at first," she began. "But I'll get to used to my hand eventually." Her boyfriend nodded and then glanced at his watch. "Oh, I have to go to the bank before it closes." he said as he prepared to leave. Something tugged at his shirt. He turned around and saw Yui standing up. "Don't go. I'm all alone here." she pleaded. After a second of hesitation, he finally consented and stayed behind.



That's the first chapter. Hopefully, things will go smoothly as I imagined it would. Please review and may i remind people that there will be yaoi here. Beware. Okay, so maybe a LOT of yaoi.
