It was confusing? Yes, but it was also sort of... nice.

Yuki was no good when it came to talking to most people, is not that he doesn't like to talk but most of the times he just wasn't comfortable talking to someone and just preferred to listen. He thought that if he talks to someone so much, he will end up annoying them. His friendship with Kenta and Yu was sort of based on him going along with whatever they are doing, and the fact that they thought that he was a good friend despite being older. His grandfather... they stopped talking years ago, Yuki is not even sure how or why they stopped communicating it just happened. The only person that had such a strong bond with Yuki that he was willing to be himself with is his sister; Madoka.

Now he was talking to Motti, like... actually talking to her, apparently she was curious about what he was doing and now; she was stargazing through his telescope while he talked about the different constellations and their wonders. If he had to be honest, he would have to admit that he was almost sure that this was a trap, that she was trying to gain his friendship just to wait the perfect moment to betray him. That she was just pretending to be interested in him, and probably trying to steal his heart just to stab him in the back, but for some reason he wasn't sure if he would think that anymore. Who knows? maybe he is just THAT easy to deceive.

Motti looked at him, Did she asked something? Dang it, he was too buried in his thoughts and forgot to listen to their actual conversation. Wait... Could it be?... Was he staring at her this whole time? That couldn't be! He is not that kind of guy, Great! Now maybe she thinks that he is a creep, and told him to not stare at her like that.

"I-I'm s-sorry, What?"- he literally babbled while trying to hide his embarrassment by pushing back his glasses.

"I asked, How did you got so interested in astronomy? You seem to know a lot about it"-Motti asked with a smile, somehow she had her mouth curled up like the one of a cat.

"Oh W-well... I don't know! My grandfather knows a lot about it a-and he used to live in a observatory, a-and my sister and I used to go there every summer!"-he answered, laughing nervously

"Meow! Why are you suddenly so nervous?"-she asked, noticing how he was blushing a lot and actually breathing like he was going to faint.

"I-I don't know! I..."-he didn't really knew what to answer, so he took a deep breath-"I don't know"-

Suddenly, they were both in silence. Yuki didn't know what to say after that, and Motti was actually afraid of saying something that would make him feel uneasy again.

Yuki looked at her; he was about to say something, but he noticed something that caught his eye.

"Hey, what's this?"-the blue-eyed boy signaled her the right back of her neck.

There was a big bruise, it went all the way from the left side of her head to a little bit of her neck. It looked really back and it seemed like she was hiding it with her hair.

"Oh, I-it's nothing!"-now she was the nervous one-"Meow! I-I just walked into a door!"-

"Oh haven't heard that one before!"-he thought sarcastically-"It looks bad"-

Yuki didn't put too much thought into it, but he was actually touching her bruise. He didn't realized, but he was touching a girl's face. More specific, he was cupping a girl's cheek.

Motti bit her lip for a couple of seconds. Apparently it stills hurt.

"S-sorry! I am so sorry!"-Yuki panicked after noticing how she whimpered-"I don't know what came over me! I am really sorry!"-

"It's fine! Meow! I'm fine! It was just an accident"-Motti tried to calm him, she hold his hand and smiled. He calmed down and looked at her with a little bit of concern.

"Who did that to you?"-Yuki asked, he was gripping his own stomach, where he actually had a bruise on.

The boy knew how it feels when someone hurts you physically and actually enjoys it. He could take it, he suffers daily and got used to it a long time ago. But if it's someone else who suffers it, the feeling is rather unbearable.

"Well It was actually you"-the green-eyed girl answered softly, she was looking down but still smiling.

What?

"M-me? H-how?"-Yuki was frozen, he couldn't believe it; He hurt someone... he was no better than those guys that love to punch him.

"When I tried to kidnap you"-she answered calmly as if it was nothing-"You kicked me in the face and I accidentally let you go"-

Oh... That, he did remember.

"I'm sorry..."-Yuki apologized, he looked ashamed of what he accidentally did.

"Meow! Why do you apologize?!"-Motti asked while giggling-"It was me the one who tried to kidnap you! I am the one who should be sorry...in fact, I am sorry"-

Yuki didn't expected that, and shook his head kind of fast showing how nervous he was feeling, again.

"I-it's fine! I-its in the past now!"-he laughed nervously-"But... wait"-

"Yes?"-she asked, tilting her head to one side in confusion.

"You tried to save me after... a-after I did that to you?"-Yuki asked genuinely confused-"And even after that, you were talking so nicely and trying to not use force with me"-

"Meow! I guess I did"-she answered with a smile.

"B-but why? And even after that, you didn't really had to look for me again"-he said-"I-I just don't understand, you said that I am not your target anymore, So why did you came here?"-

Now it was Motti's turn to blush, she was kinda taken by surprise by that question.

"I was... well, I have nothing else to do and... when that cat told me that you were going to Paris with the other warriors I... t-this might sound a little bad, but I thought that maybe I could follow you and enjoy how Johannes has lost track of the other warriors while I found al of them! I-I just thought..."-

"That you could follow me so you could piss off your brother?"-he asked to see if he understood what she just said.

"Meow! If you say it that way... It does sound bad..."-Motti was laughing because of how nervous she was-"But it was not only that! T-that night I tried to... kidnap you, well... I just thought that you were nice. When you left me there, you were so polite, even thought I could have hurt you. You apologized to me, and even though you were scared you didn't turned me to the police... You even left a cupcake there for me, and on top of a nice folded napkin? I mean who does that?"-

Yuki blushed, she is right. Who does that?!

"I knew my brother was going to kick me out of the mission, and I don't really have anywhere else to go or... anyone to talk to for that matter, I just thought that maybe... I should try to talk to someone and... well, be friends for once"-

Now she was looking down at her feet and reflecting after what she just said. This sounded crazy, going after a boy she probably harmed, thinking like she could just say 'hi' and there! They could be friends? What was she thinking? Why dragging this sweet stranger to her miserably life? What was she trying to prove? Was she trying to demonstrate that she is not a lost kitten anymore? Well, she wasn't doing a great job to be honest.

Motti couldn't think of what Yuki think of her now? Maybe that she is crazy? Probably he is thinking of calling his friend and getting her into prison.

But she was wrong...

He was laughing.

Yuki was just... giggling.

The green-eyed girl looked at the boy sitting next to her, he had his hand on his mouth, trying to not make to much noise, apparently he was laughing that hard.

"I-I'm sorry b-but that's c-crazy"-Yuki was trying to talk between his laughing-"I mean its cute and all but i-it's so crazy!"-

"What's crazy?"-

"That someone would go through all that just to talk to me! I am sorry but is ridiculous!"-he was still giggling, at least he could talk now.

Motti couldn't understand why he was laughing so much, she stared at him and he was just... adorable. The way he laugh, how he was trying to hide it with his small hands and even how soft and high-pitched is his laugh for someone his age, it was just too cute to handle.

"I-I can't believe that you did all that just for trying to meet someone like me"-Yuki said as soon as he stopped laughing-"It's actually... nice"-

"Nice?"-she asked with confusion.

"Yeah, I mean its... cute"-he said, blushing a little bit-"I never had a lot of friends, in fact; my best friends are my twin sister and my neighbor, who is actually a twelve year old kid... there are the other warriors, and don't get me wrong, they are cool but they are more like teammates for me"-

"So..."-

"Oh! I would love to be your friend!"-Yuki admitted and he put his hand over hers.

"Y-you do?!"-Motti asked, she was surprised by this.

"Yeah! But I would like to keep this a secret, I can't leave this place and to be honest I don't think the other warriors would be okay if I star hanging out for someone who had to track us down"-Yuki said with a smile-"You understand, right?"-

"Y-yeah! D-don't worry! Besides working I don't really do much so... same time tomorrow"-she asked, a little bit unsure/

"O-of course!"-he answered, still smiling.

Yuki noticed how his hand was still on top of Motti's, so he quickly let it go and yawned.

"I-I need to go back to my room! I have some harsh training tomorrow and need to sleep!"-he said as he stood up.

"O-okay! Goodbye! See you tomorrow!"-Motti said while waiving her hand.

Yuki went to the door and opened, then he thought of something.

"Would you like me to take you to the door? I'm sure that we can sneak..."-

Motti wasn't there anymore.

"Right... her ninja skills"-Yuki thought out loud.

In his path to his room, Yuki was thinking of how weird, yet exciting was this. He had a new friend... a cute new friend that loves cats and has some amazing skills. That was pretty amazing.

When he got to his room, he saw Gingka already in bed, reading something that looked like... a comic book.

Great, another one.

"Hey Yuki, where were you?"-Gingka put down his comic and welcomed his friend.

"Uh... just, stargazing"-Yuki answered, blushing and gripping his telescope.

Gingka just shrugged at it.

"Oh cool"-he said, going back to his reading.

Yuki also went to bed and turned off the lights.

"Yuki... where do you live?"-Gingka suddenly asked-"I mean, before you came here"-

The boy thought the question was a little bit out of place but decided to answer anyways.

"Oh, I am from Japan"-he answered without too much thought-"From a city named, Metal Bey City, or just Metal City for short"-

"And... Does Madoka live there too?"-

What?

"Uh... yes, well she is my sister after all"-he answered hesitantly

"Oh! Is just that when we were training I saw that you were separated for years"-Gingka said-"What was that?"-

Oh... that.

"That's... M-mr. Gingka that is none of your business!"-Yuki whispered/yelled.

Who does he think he is to ask something so personal out of the sudden?

"S-sorry!"-Gingka apologized-"I-I was just curious"-

Yuki didn't stayed angry for too long.

"I-it's okay"-

"Another thing, if you don't mind me to ask..."-

"I-is Madoka seeing anyone?"-Gingka asked, apparently he was nervous.

What?

"Seeing anyone?"-Yuki asked with confusion.

"L-like if she has a boyfriend or something like that!"-Gingka started to babble.

Was Gingka developing a crush on his sister after only like what? fifteen minutes of talking to each other?

"Not... Not that I know about"-Yuki answered a bit unsure.

"G-great! Uh... goodnight!"-

"Goodnight..."-
