AN: I apologize for that short chapter, this should be longer. Kay, I'll l start right away so I'll have enough time to right a lot.

He stared at me.

He then pulled me into a hug and held me tight. I tried to push him away, but he didn't budge. I stopped trying to push him away and ended up crying in his arms.

"You're completely right."

I looked up at him shocked.

"Let's make a deal: In return for my kindness, be my best friend. What do you say?"

I lost my voice out of astonishment so I just nodded.

"Good." He smiled then wiped my tears.

After a moment he let go and I got his pop-sickle.

"Hey?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you have any friends?" He smiled. "Besides me of course."

I smiled at that too, but that smile quickly began to fade as I began to answer. "No... I don't... I figured that rumors would have gotten to you sooner but I guess not..."

"Rumors? What are you, like some killer?"

"No." I was irritated now.

"Oh?" He smiled snidely. "Then what are the rumors for?"

"Me living in this huge house by myself... They suspected me for doing something to their family... See... There was this incident that happened a while back. Every bodies parents were becoming ill, some of them died. But it wasn't my fault. There was a virus spreading only in our town. And it only effected adults. But everybody blamed the super genius who lived alone...

"Yuuto's dad was one of those people who died. His father treated me like I was one of his own. And me and Yuuto were best friends... He got everyone to go against me so now everyone hates me... I wasn't even aloud at the funerals... Everyday after school they beat me up... My friends beat me up."

"Why don't you do anything? Why don't you say anything?"

"What could I say? Who could I tell?--" I stopped when I say his reaction. I was surprised to see what I say.

His eyes were filled with pure hatred. "I pity the next guy that dare lay a figure on you."

I was so taken aback, I could barky speak."Wha-...,What do you mean?"

"The next person that wants to hurt you, will definitely see me."

I turned away. "You should be the last person worrying about me."

"If I don't who will?!" He smiled a little. "After all... I am your best friend."

I smiled a little too and his grin grew. "You're so weird."

We both laughed. It felt good to laugh. I hadn't laughed like this in a while. All of the sudden his face looked embarrassed.

"What's the matter?"

"Well,... I think it'd be too much to ask to spend the night huh?"

I shook my head. "No I could use the company." We both smiled.

"Kay."

"Oh! By the way, how old are you?"

"I'm eighteen."

"Whaaat?! I thought you were twenty or twenty-one."

"Wow, thanks for making me feel old. And how old are you? Nine?"

I glared at him. "Fifteen."

"Well that's not a big age difference."

"What grade are you going to?"

"First year in college actually. You going to tenth?" He gave me a smug smile.

"Repeating college because I've got nothing better to do with myself and workin' in the office all day is not as fun as it sounds." He stared amazed. "I'll probably see you a lot."

His dropped jaw suddenly changed into a grin and he pounced on me and we fell to the ground.

"Tutor me."

"No way!"

"Please?"

"No!"

"Please, please, please, plea--"

"Alright, alright! Just get off of me!"

"Yay!"

He rolled off of me and we both sat up.

"Can I ask you something?"

"Shoot."

"If I just told you what happened to everyone of my friends, why would you,--"

The phone rang.

We both looked at each other and then I got up and answered the phone. "Hello?"

"?"

*oh great, business* "Yes?"

Yuki walked over to me, hugged me from behind again, and then started playing with my hair.

"We're having a very important meeting next Friday and it's very important that you attend."

I held the bottom of the phone, covered by my hand, and whispered violently to Yuki. "Stop that!"

He only stopped until I got back the phone.

"Mr. Shindo?"

"Oh, I'm sorry. Yes I will attend, please send Takehashi to pick me up that morning."

"Yes. Thank you sir. Good bye."

"Good bye." I hung up the phone and glared at Yuki. He was still holding on to me. "Don't do that! And get off!"

He pouted. "Why not?"

"'Cause I said so, now get off!"

He smiled and hugged me even more. We tumbled over again onto the ground. I could feel him trying to grope me!

"Cut it out!" I was blushing so much now.

"It's gonna be so much fun sleeping with you! Where's your room?"

My face was completely red now. "What?"

"That's where I'm sleeping right?"

"I... I suppose..."

"Yay!"

He hugged me again and then mouthed out something that I could easily make out(read mouths) He mouthed out to me 'Your one person that truly makes me happy'. I mouthed back to him 'Your the only person that makes me happy'. I didn't think that he'd understand what I had said and was embarrassed when he answered.

"I promise to keep it that way. I want to be the only one who makes you happy." He smiled.

-what a beautiful smile. it's like an angel's and it makes him look so...-

I blushed and then buried my face into the floor so that he wouldn't ask what was wrong.

-what am I thinking?! I mean, he's a... a... I can't even say it! this is so wrong... but it's so hard to resist...-

"Shu?"

I hadn't realized that he had gotten off of me already. I looked up at him with bashful eyes. When I met his confused gaze I was blown away. Even with this puzzled look, he was still very stunning. I don't know why I hadn't noticed amazing beauty before. It was hard to look away.

"Come on silly." He grabbed my hand and pulled me up.

Then he ran us into the main entrance with the two halls leading to the west and east wing of the house. In between the two halls was the grand stair case leading to the second floor.

"Which way?"

I was still baffled by his beauty that didn't know what he was talking about. "Huh?"

He rolled his eyes and sighed. "To your room?"

"Oh. Up stairs."

We went upstairs but stopped at the top two hallways. One to the left and the other to the right.

"Which way now?"

I walked ahead of him turning to the left and opened the first door on the left. We walked in and he looked around. My room was preety simple and normal sized. I had a bed, a night stand, a dresser, a desk, a t.v, and a closet; the usual.

Yuki suddenly pushed me forward and wresled me onto the bed.
