Disclaimer: I don't own Furuba!! If I did, a lot of things would be different. Like, I wouldn't be typing this fanfic right now. And I'd be rich (I think). Anyway…

Hi!! Emichii here!! Whassup everybody? Thankyou for all your reviews!! I guess we'll have to watch the super dense Yuki and Machi have some 'bonding time', huh?

Here's chapter 3!! Read and review!!

Third chapter: Maybe someday

"AAAARGHHHH!!" Kakeru screamed in a girly way.

Komaki wondered what was going on. Kakeru stopped while half-way into the door and had screamed.

"What's wrong, Kakeru?" she asked.

Kakeru cried in great disarray. "I forgot about Yun-Yun!! And Machi!! I left them inside the Council Room and I locked the door!!"

Yuki sat alone on the desk. He felt so awkward right now. He stole a glance at Machi. She was standing by herself, leaning against the wall, staring at the ever-so-interesting carpet.

"…Machi?" he said.

"…" she didn't reply. She was still staring intently at the ground, lost in her own thoughts. Her eyes looked far away and she seemed to be thinking of distant memories, but they weren't happy ones.

He opened his mouth again, "Machi, why were you crying before?"

That got her attention. She jerked up to attention and turned to look at him. She glared at him ferociously, but he saw beneath it all that she was scared.

"…" Yuki got up and walked closer to the treasurer. "Hey… it's okay. I'll… listen to what you have to say. If there's anything that's troubling you, please feel free to tell me."

"It's nothing." she said stubbornly.

"If it's nothing, why were you crying? And why do you keep trashing and destroying everything?" he asked calmly.

Ouch. Bullseye.

Machi stared at him furiously. "It's… it's because…" Her gaze dropped to the ground. And she dropped to her knees along with it. She knelt their on the floor, not looking at Yuki. You wouldn't understand, would you? That's what everyone says. Even if they say they'll listen, they don't try to understand…

"… because…" she trailed off but didn't finish her sentence.

Yuki sighed, but it an understanding way. He crouched down and looked at Machi closely. He gave her a friendly genuine smile.

"…maybe someday… you will tell me, Machi. I know that it must be hard right now… and you fell weak and insecure… but one day when you're stronger… when we're all stronger, you'll be able to tell me why. And I promise, that I'll always be here… to listen to you… and try my best to understand." Yuki said sincerely.

Machi's eyes were wide and she stared at him stunned.

Yuki smiled and slowly stood up and turned away from her. "Anyway, Machi," he said, "how are we meant to get out of here?"

Machi just watched him quietly from her spot and whispered softly to herself.

"Maybe… someday…"

Tohru, Kyo and Shigure sat at the dinner table. Tohru was worried. "How come Yuki's still not home yet? He should have come back a long time ago."

Kyo grunted while shoving food in his mouth. "I don't give a damn. That damn rat can stay invisible for as long as I'm alive!"

Tohru was still extremely concerned. "But the sky's already dark. His Student Council meeting finished ages ago!"

"I'm sure he's fine," said Shigure distractedly, while picking up some food with his chopsticks. "Yuki can do anything! He's our favourite perfect prince guy who's always in perfect control!"

I'm not some perfect prince guy who's in perfect control!! Yuki stared at the locked door.

"I wish we could just break it down!!" he said in annoyance.

"…yeah," Machi said. It would be a cinch for the destructive girl to break it down.

Yuki frowned so hard that his eyebrows met over the top of his head. His brain was in turmoil and it was frying with distress.

What am I meant to do?!? I'm stuck in the council room with Machi!! And who knows how long we're gonna be stuck in here for!!! ARGHH!!!

Yuki looked at his watch. Man… does this mean we have to wait here till next morning? He groaned. Aw man…

He looked at Machi, who was now seated in her chair, but she wasn't sitting up straight or working or anything; she was leaning over onto the desk, fast asleep.

Yuki sighed good-naturedly. He watched her innocent sleeping face and was shocked by sudden speeding-up in his heart rate. He found himself blushing.

What am I doing?!? He screamed his head. Am I going insane?!?

He calmed himself down by some slow and steady deep breathing, that only charming princes like himself could master. He took his jacket, went up to Machi and covered her with it.

Yuki sat down at his own seat and slumped over in it. He felt his eyelids drooping. He just wanted to look at the inside of his eyelids. He couldn't help it anymore. Every muscle in his body just wanted to stop and hibernate. Yuki slowly closed his eyes and drifted off to sleep.

"YUN-YUN!!!" Kakeru's super loud, urgent voice blared through the empty hallways of Kaibara High way too early in the morning. He ran through the hall super fast with his footsteps hitting the ground hard.

Yep, it was morning again (finally) and Kakeru had gotten to school really early to rescue the poor Prince Yuki and Machi as well.

Following quickly behind Kakeru was Kimi and Nao. Kimi was also tagging along, but a bit behind the others. She kept telling them to wait for her but they didn't slow down.

Nao was running so fast that he was about to lose control and crash soon. Argh!! I can't believe the vice-president locked Kuragi in there too!! Now the council room will be a total mess!!

Kakeru jammed the keys in really really fast and twisted them around hard.

"YUN-YUN!! I'M HERE TO-" he yanked open the door. "-RESCUE YOU!!?!" he yelled.

He stared inside the room. Nao was frowning super hard as he glared at whatever was inside.

Kimi finally caught up to the others and looked inside.

"KYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!" she squealed.

Kakeru watched them. Man, I almost feel bad for intruding on them like this.

Machi was still asleep with Yuki's jacket over her. She was breathing evenly in and out and she looked so peaceful and child-like. And she was resting on Yuki's shoulder. Yuki was also in deep slumber, leaning on the desk and all slumped over.

It's such a kawaii scene!! Kimi squealed in high-pitch in her mind.

And then Miss Motoko Minagawa just happened to look inside and see it.
