"I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell him. I'm going to tell him—" Yuki repeated to herself. That didn't mean that it was any easier to do so, nervousness still racked her body. She was scared, scared of rejection. Which with her life, she had the right to feel that way.

Len then walked into the room and saw Yuki's frantic pacing. He sighed and walked up to her as he placed a hand on her shoulder, stopping her in her tracks. He then walked her over to her bed and sat down with her as he asked what was wrong.

Yuki explained everything to her twin, knowing he would understand, and then waited for him to say something. She knew that getting advice from her brother—even if they were the same age—would always do her some good. Besides, when she got stuck in a cycling thought process like she was, any help was always welcome.

Len thought over everything, this obviously was and had been bothering Yuki for quite a while, but he knew that if she revealed anything, they'd get nothing but hell from Medusa. She wasn't exactly the understanding type of mother, no. If you upset her, spoiled her plans, then you expected to be on her bad side for the rest of your life, which, if that were the case, expect a short life from there…

Len told Yuki that it was a bad idea to tell Soul anything, it would just get her into trouble. Of course that didn't really make her feel any better, though her brother's advice was helping her make a decision, not that she liked the decision.

Yuki then sighed, knowing he was right. She had been foolish to think that Soul would have been different from anyone. Sure, she didn't know him to well, but she felt a connection to him. One that made her feel that—if she told him—he would understand.

At least, that's what she hoped for…

With that settled, Yuki decided she'd just play the part. Be herself but keep her life secret as Len had said she should. There would be less hurt that way, less trauma. All the better for her though, Yuki didn't think she could handle any more of the pain of rejection. So, this way, everyone was happy.

Right?

If only she had known that Medusa had been watching her and her brother at that moment through the eyes of her magic, she'd then know why Len said what he said. But at the moment, she didn't care, she was just happy that she didn't have to feel as confused anymore. That was what mattered, nothing else.

So, with her new found resolve, Yuki walked out into the night and told herself that a little walk through the fresh air would do her some good. She told Len and Ren she'd be back in a little bit and then exited their home and walked around Death City, the moon smiling like it always did with its creepy grin.

Yuki always wondered if the moon smiled because it knew something no one else did, harboring secrets no one else knew. Though that was a silly thought, what could the moon possibly know?

She stuffed her hands into her pockets as she walked, dragging her feet along. Then, taking a deep breath she subconsciously made a turn to go to the basket ball court. She didn't know why, even when she got there, but she stayed for a bit and sat on one of the benches.

Despite Len's earlier advice though, Yuki made a decision right then, and promised to keep it. She was going to tell Soul, in the morning, regardless of the punishments of doing so. She had class at the Academy tomorrow so she'd do it right before, get it all over with.

And with a smile, Yuki hoped for the best.
