A/N: Thank you for the reviews and positive words ;D. I guess that there are people out there reading my story.

Chapter Three: Learning the Basics:

Yuki could not stop running until she reached her house. She didn't feel right, her head was spinning. As she entered the house she went towards her room. Luckily no one was home due to the fact her parents were on vacation, so she didn't have to explain why she was home so early. She got up on her bed and grabbed one her pillows and began crying into it. She couldn't believe what was going on.

She had shared a night with the man she loved most, and he walked around acting as if it never happened. She couldn't imagine that Soujiro could be so cold and hurtful. She should have known something like this would have happened. "How could I have been so stupid!" she said silently to herself, while throwing her pillow against the door.

"Ouch" she heard a voice say as she turned around and met face to face with Akira.

She instantly wiped away the tears from her eyes, not wanting anyone to see her like this. What was he doing here. Had he come after her once she left the dango shop.

She stood up from the bed before him and bowed "Gomen Akira-san." She said looking up at him. "I did not know you where there."

"No need to apologize Yuki-chan. I should have made my presence known before just bargaining in." He had a strange look on his face that Yuki had never seen before. "I was just worried about you. You ran out of the dango shop so quickly. I came to see if you were ok?"

Yuki didn't know what to say, she was so confused. Should she tell Akira what happened. Should she tell him how she spent the night with Soujiro or should she just stay quiet. Then it came to her. If Soujiro wanted to act like nothing happened, then nothing happened. She was not going to pine away for him anymore. She could not keep putting herself through this over and over again.

She took in a deep breath as she began to speak. "Gomen Akira-san, you didn't have to come all this way." She bowed apologetically again. "I was just having a bad morning. I think I am coming down with something." She faked a slight cough.

Without thinking Akira moved forward and closing the gap between them and placed a hand on her forehead. "You do feel warm." Akira said as Yuki began to blush lightly. He left his hand there as he watched her.

Needing to put a little distance between them Yuki backed away slightly and asked "Would you like some tea or coffee Akira-san."

Akira thought about it for a moment and then said "Coffee." he was not in much a mood for tea at the moment.

As Yuki went to make the coffee she was thankful for the moment alone. Akira and her were good friends but....this was just a little wierd. She had never spent much alone time with him and she was beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. He was a very nice person but Yuki didn't really know how to act in front of him at times. When she walked back into the sitting room she saw Akira putting his phone into his panst pocket.

"Is everything OK?" Yuki asked as she handed him a mug.

"Everything's fine." he said as he looked at her with a wide grin on his face. "Just perfect.

As Akira entered the club all he could think about was Yuki, and the day they had just spent together. He had called his assistant and cancelled all his meetings for the day while Yuki had made them coffee. He wanted to spend the whole day with her and get to know more about her. He wanted to know every little thing about her, and spending the day with her had been amazing.

He felt guilty for not telling her the truth about what happened Halloween, but he just couldn't. He couldn't stand to see her crying, and he didn't know why. It hurt him to see her look so small and fragile and he couldn't bare it. He knew that sooner rather than later he had to tell her the truth, but now he wanted to spend as much time with her as he could. To know why he was feeling the way he was towards her.

He had learned that while working in a dango shop, she did not care much for sweets. She preferred the spring to any other season. She loved watching the sakura trees blossom. Her favorite color was purple and she loved listening to classical music.

She was in the top five of her class, and was reciving many offers to very prestigious schools. Her dream was to become a doctor and help save peoples lives. She was a smart and very gifted person. He like spending time with her, and he had invited her out to dinner with the following day.

"Yo Akira." Soujiro yelled over the loud music. "Whats wrong with you!? You aren't even paying attention!" Soujiro was beginning to look annoyed.

Akira looked over at Soujiro who had two different women on each side competing for his attention. He then looked to his side and noticed a very un-entertained woman staring at him. He did not feel like partying tonight and was not in the mind set for it either. "I'm just a little distracted." he sad before pulling out his phone and calling his driver.

While Yuki opened up the dango shop to begin working she heard her phone buzz on the top counter. She walked over to it and read the caller i.d. It was Soujiro writing to invite her to lunch. She had been avoiding his calls and texts for two days now, and it was not getting any easier. Though she had been spending much time with Akira and being with him had a soothing effect on her.

She was beginning to feel more comfortable being around him. He had an odd way of making her laugh so effortlessly. She felt like she could talk to him about almost anything. She was starting to feel closer to him and looked forward to their time together.

"Ohayo Yuki-chan" Tsukushi said as she walked into the shop, pulling Yuki from her thoughts.

"Ohayo Tsukushi-chan, how was your date with Domyouji-san?" Yuki asked as she began sweeping up the floor.

"As usual, the baka tried to take me to one of the most expensive restaurants in the city!" Tsukushi stated outraged. "I told him to just take me to the movies, and he told me that he couldn't go into such a commoner's place! Can you believe him!

Yuki began to laugh as her friend continued yelling about her boyfriend. Yuki knew how much in love they were with each other, but they argued constantly. Some would say that is how they showed their love to each other.

"Oh Yuki-chan have you spoken to Nishikado-san?" Tsukushi asked waiting for her friends response.

"Not since last week why?" Yuki paying very little attention continued on with what she was doing.

"Domyouji told me that he was asking about you? He said that you haven't returned any of his calls." Tsukushi said with a little curiosity in her voice. "Did something happen between the two of you? Are you finally over him Yuki-chan?" Tsukushi asked.

"Huh." Yuki said. Soujiro was asking about her. That was odd why would he be asking about her. There was no reason for him to be seeking her out. She had been avoiding him since the day she ran out of the dango shop and did not wish to speak to him. She was not ready to look at him without wanting to rip his head off just yet.

A/N: Updates for this story maybe a little slow because I'm still writing the story out in my own head :D, though once again I already know how I want the ending to happen. I hope people continue to enjoy the story as much as I enjoy writing it.
