Yumi relaxed and sat on his lap. He started to masage her back. He whispered into her ear and she could feel warmth of his breath on her neck. But she paid no attention to what he was saying. She thought hard, and didn't bother to try reasoning with him again. Did she love him? It had been the question she asked herself everyday.

She thought again what had got her in this position. Her parents contributed a little. She smiled weakly and removed her body from against his, feeling as if she wanted to be anywhere but here. He got up, having a questioning look on his face for why she stood up. He nuzzled he neck and started to kiss her but she slipped out from his grip around her waist. She wanted to keep it from getting farther that she planned. She mentally slapped herself for letting herself come to his house, she figured before it would be a good idea to move in with her fiancé at the time, but now she felt like she didn't belong. He told her he was going to be working late again. She nodded and let him leave. He was rich, and she knew it, but she hadn't loved him for that. But did she love him at all? He was kind and sweet at first but now she knew nothing about him. He worked in a really big company that paid him a good share of money. But deep down inside she could feel that maybe he was seeing other people. 'It wouldn't surprise me one bit if he was.' She thought to herself.

Yumi walked into the huge bathroom and put her shoulder length hair into a sloppy bun, and walked back into the room. She relaxed her body into the soft king size bed they had. The blankets were silk and soft and golden. She was always alone in the big house these days. She had discovered every room, every story of the house and almost read every book in their huge library. No matter how many things it held, it still didn't make her happy. She yawned and her muscles finally let lose and she feel into a deep sleep.

She moved around in her sleep until about a hour later, she woke up not being able to stay still, surprised to be accompanied by huge clouds of smoke. It was then she realized her house was on fire. She coughed from the lack of oxygen left, and to help she got low on the ground. She crawled on the floor over to the closed door and felt the knob with the back of her hand. She hissed as it burnt her hand. But it was funny, she could have sworn the door was open when she had fallen asleep. But now wasn't the time. The only other way out was the window, but she was on the third floor. She would have to shimmy down the side of the house. She opened the window still coughing but finally managed to get it open and look down. It was far from the ground.

Of all the times of her soon-to-be husband to be gone it had to be now. They she was the house would be coming down any minute. She had to hurry. She looked for a way to get down and they saw a water spout. She would have to jump. She hesitated but she jumped for her life and made it with one hand, looking down, she held on for her life. She pulled her body up enough so he was able to keep herself from falling, sweat was dripping from her face but she was too scared to move.

She moved a little way down and the spout at the top broke of and she was more scared then ever. The Japanese girl tried to move again but it was breaking off more and more. It got even better when she realized her silk mid hamstring length night gown was stuck to a nail in the spout. She tried to pull it out, but it wouldn't work unless she leaned back causing her to also fall. She guessed maybe fate had just decided it was her time to go. She saw a man on the street walk by and he also noticed the house in flames. She screamed for help and he ran over looking up.

Yumi's POV

"I need you to jump." He said. But I shook my head to afraid of what would happen if he couldn't catch me. "I won't let to drop, I promise, I will catch you." I still refused to let go. "You just have to trust me." I knew it was either I stay up her and go down with the fire, or risk being dropped and breaking a few bones. The second one was better. I took in a deep breath and let go, my whole body reacting to the gravity and me falling towards the ground. The young man about my age was right. He caught me, but he also fell to the ground backwards when lost his balance. Oh the joy. Why had god put me in this position. I gazed into his chocolate brown eyes. They were eyes I hadn't seen in a long time. But I could tell whose eyes they belong to anytime. And I was right. "Ulrich?" I asked.

Preview of the next chapter (if you want another chappy):

"Nice dress." Ulrich said smiling. She looked down seeing how short it was. "Don't you think you can just walk up and start talking to be again like old times! I haven't forgotten you know!" She argued. "Yeah, but you weren't left with only me with your house burned down last time." Ulrich smiled, but she only glared. "Stop trying to flirt with me! I have a boyfriend and we are soon to be married, and speaking of I need you to give me a ride to his office!" "I bet you don't love him." He said trying to catch up with her, as she marched barefoot to the nearest bus stop. "You don't know anything about him…or me, I love him, which…which..is a feeling you'll never know!" she yelled back. "Aww, your so adorable when you mad…" he said. "URG!" she said walking faster steamed.

There you go…
