Hello thanks to the people that reviewed the first part of this story! I spotted some mistakes in the first chapter I was really pissed with myself like REALLY! Remember that video where there is this guy that got really angry when his WoW account got cancelled? Well you can imagine me shoving my TV's remote control up my ass! XD

So here I am making up for my mistakes! There is going to be a third chapter, I guess that's where this is ending, I have a new project on my mind, it has to do with ToA, so Asch's fans out there, wait for me! And this maybe a long story, I tell ya!

In other news, I don't own tales of vesperia, I wish I was that awesome.

Yuri took a deep breath as he walked the streets of Danhgrest, Repede his canine friend walking right next to him. Both had just return from one of their missions. At least this one was easy, Yuri thought as he headed back to Brave Vesperia's headquarter. Karol had rent a place not so long ago; the place had enough space for the three members of the guild and Repede.

Friday, finally I'll get some rest. Yuri, from all members, had have a really stressful week, he had gone to Mantiac to pick some stuff for Karol, then he went to the Shaikos Ruins to look for an ancient artifact for one of their costumers, followed by delivering a present in Aurion and the last mission, delivering a letter for the Hunting Blades.

Though the last mission was a favor since the letter was for Nan and Karol was just too shy (coward) to deliver the letter himself. Karol and Judith had agreed Yuri could have the rest of the weekend for himself; he had been working hard for months now and they had started to worry about him.

Karol didn't understand why Yuri had decided to take all those jobs all of a sudden, what he knew was that he just wanted an excuse to avoid visiting Estelle and Rita. That's what Judith had said, talking about cowards…

Yuri thought it was a good excuse to stay away from Rita for a while, he was still hoping she would return to her senses, though he had started to get tired from too much work. He wasn't scare about the young girl, though her feelings... were a different story.

At first he though Rita would never accept her feelings but when she kissed him in Halure and swore she would make him love her, that's when he knew everything had gone completely wrong.

Breaking the young girl's heart was definitely not an option and he knew he would have to confront her some day. That's why he had taken all those missions on his own, well with Repede of course. He was looking for the right words to make Rita understand.

Yuri walked inside the building, it had been difficult at first to get used to it, it felt different from the lower quarter, Karol, Judith and he had their respective rooms in the second floor , they were small but Yuri was used to having a small room, at least they had a bathroom. The kitchen, the dining table, and the strategy room, where they discussed about the guild from time to time, all in the first floor.

Yuri paralyzed as soon as he walked in the strategy room, he knew that he would find the rest of the guild members there but he found more than that.

"Oh Yuri!" Estelle tackled him with a bear hug; her voice was muffled as she pressed her face on his chest.

"Hey…Estelle." Yuri tried to act his usual incautious and calmed self. Karol was behind her, a childish smile plastered on his face. Raven was not so far from him sitting in one of the chairs that surrounded the large table; Raven waved his hand in salute.

"Judith went to Halure." Karol beamed proudly. "After all, there was no way I could have fill the shelves of our new library without Estelle." Yuri's eyes scanned the left wall and part of the front wall that were now covered with shelves and books.

"You guys have been busy while I was gone." Yuri chuckled as he ruffled Estelle's hair.

"Yes, pretty much." Estelle clapped her hands together. "It was too bad you had a lot of work, Judith told us about how stressed you have been." Her eyes met the blue carpet on the floor.

"It's ok; I already finished all I had to do." Yuri grinned.

"That's wonderful! Rita wanted to see you too!" She beamed, Raven chuckled silently from behind. Yuri knew telling Judith what had happen under the sakura tree had been an awful mistake.

"Rita is…here?" His grave, manly voice cracked a little.

"Little Red Ridin' Hood is with Judith, they are talkin' in her room." Raven rested his head on his palm moving his eyebrows a few times. His ears weren't wiggling so it meant he was telling the truth. Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap.

"Welcome home." Judith greeted him as she walked down the stairs with an impish smile.

Yuri stuck out his head from the room to look at her with a murderous glare, not letting the other see his face, "Hey there, Judy." His calmed voice didn't match his glare.

"How is our beloved swordsman today?" She asked cheerfully.

Yuri mouthed the sentences "I hate you" silently before answering her question out loud for everyone to hear it, "Happy to be home..."

Judith snorted, "Very good." She waved her fingers with a grinned and went back to her room, what the hell is she thinking?

After that, Yuri had to give up the idea of a wonderful weekend and sit right next to the old man, he didn't want to risk his life and find Rita on the way to his room, yeah he is that scared. I'm not scared! Whatever.

Karol and Estelle were too busy ordering the books from the last shelf. Yuri had made sure to feel comfortable prompting his feet over the table and crossing his arms; he would be here for a while, after all. And Raven who seemed to have nothing to do, had fallen asleep on his chair, his head was resting back with his mouth open.

Yuri had started thinking nothing could be worse than this, that's when the old man started snoring really loud, Yuri even thought Baul was nearby because of his whale-like sound. Estelle jolted from the sudden noise. Yuri been Yuri decided to stop it at once; he smashed the heel of his boot over the table.

Raven woke up with a jump, he scanned the room with his half shut eyes, "Did ya said somethin' boy?" He asked looking at Yuri.

"Yes, shut up." Yuri snarled.

"Whoa, someone is a bad mood…" Raven stretched his muscles before jumping to his feet and pumping his chest triumphantly. "Come with me boy!"

Yuri raised a brow, "Where and what makes you think I'll follow?"

Raven rested his arm on his shoulder, almost making him fall back, "We'll have a man ta man conversation!"

"I'll pass." Yuri said darkly after regaining his balance with his current posture.

"Awww come on, it'll be fun!" Raven pulled Yuri's hand forcing him to stand up and follow him to the dining table. Raven sat on one of the stools with a triumphant smile.

"This better be good, old man…" Yuri spat venomously with an unsatisfied glare on his face.

Raven smiled and rested his elbows on the table, "I know it has to do with our little genius mage, tell meh son, what's botherin' you from all of this?"

Yuri's eye brows narrowed, unsure if to tell him would be a good idea, I mean we are talking about Raven here!

Yuri rested his head on his palm with a bored expression, "I guess…it's just…I don't…." he closed his eyes with frustration. Yuri had to accept the kiss didn't felt that bad and that Rita wasn't ugly, in fact he had recently discovered she was somehow…cute.

"Ummm ok… aha I get it." Raven tilted his head evaluating his face for a moment.

"Look son, I think that kiss got ya "confused" too." Raven lifted his hands and gestured quotation marks in the air.

"Hey that not-" But Raven interrupted him.

"If I were ya, I would at least give her a chance and not because I'm a perv." Raven pointed out. "Look son, I will give ya an example. Remember when Alexei got crushed by that giant blastia?"

Yuri frowned, not sure how Alexei had to do with this, "Don't remind me of that day…" Yuri sighed remembering Sodia's oops-my-bad face and the 'Mmm what you say' song playing in the background.

"Now boy, if you had been Alexei what would YA have done?" Raven asked, he was now wearing glasses, a note pad and a pencil in his hand, like a psychologist.

"Umm…run?"

"That's right, now let's imagine Rita is that enormous blastia on top of you and-" Raven extended his hands when he said enormous.

"Get to the point old man!" the long haired man growled.

"What I'm sayin' is that Rita is the big blastia of doom hangin' from above, if you reject her you will end up like Alexei." Raven clarified, "Rita is the big blastia of doom of your life."

Yuri sighed, that was what he didn't want to hear but he had to accept it like a man. At that precise moment Judith came down again, she stopped right in front of the stairs.

"Hey guys, could you come here for a minute?" Judith asked, Karol and Estelle came out from the strategy room with curious looks while Raven and Yuri did the same.

"What is it Judith?" Estelle tilted her head.

"Well Rita is going on a date today," Judith began, that earned her a 'ohhh' chorus, "I want you to please encourage her when she comes out, she has dressed different for this occasion."

"Rita is having a date?" Karol mocked. "Who's is that crazy to have a date with her?"

"Mr. Yuri Lowell, of course." Judith smiled innocently.

"WHAT?" Yuri glared at her in disbelief.

"Yes Yuri, what you heard."

"Hey I'm definitely not-"But he got cut off.

"Yes you are!" Rita glared from the top of the stairs. Yuri's jaw dropped when he realized how good she looked. She was wearing a shoulder less black dress that almost reached her knees and black flat shoes.

But that wasn't what caught Yuri's attention oh no, her black choker necklace with a jingle bell? Or perhaps the pair of cat ears over her head and the long black tail. Oh, no, oh no no no no no.

Raven and the rest were speechless; it was like their brains weren't working at all. Rita ignored everyone gaze as she started walking down the stairs. Judith felt proud of her job; she had bought the clothes and accessories, oh yeah!

Yuri's I'm-going-to-hell face made Rita smile with success. BINGO! How's that Mr. Yuri Lowell? Rita opened her mouth but go interrupted by Karol.

"This is a joke right?" That earned him a good kick in the- "Balls!" Karol cried and fell to the floor in pain.

"Somethin' tells me Karol won't have any kids." Raven observed. Estelle stepped forward ignoring Karol, who was still rolling on the floor.

"Rita, you really look cute in that outfit!" Rita blushed.

"I-I…well…t-thanks."

Estelle tugged Yuri from the sleeve of his tunic, "She does, right? Tell her Yuri, tell her!" Yuri could only manage to make a 'Mhmmm' sound as he looked away trying to hide the faint blush on his cheeks. He was struggling with his poker face too.

"Anyway let's get going!" Rita commanded as she grabbed Yuri's hand and head for the door.

To her surprise he didn't refuse or complain, he didn't even asked where they were going or stated that he wasn't going to pay, like Yuri would have. He just followed her like a zombie, his forelocks covering his eyes, his mouth forming a straight line. The arm she was holding was limp but the rest of his body was stiff.

Rita sighed, the sky was turning darker, and it was going to be a long, long night.

Sorry I had to end it like this; I promise next chapter will have LOTS OF, LOTS of love. I'm also stuck in one of the chapters of my book so I'm having writers half block and it's not helping!

*crickets*

Yuri: That wasn´t funny.

HappyStab: Shut up!

*Ahem*
