Adrianna's PoV

I wish I hadn't come to school today. I really wish I hadn't. Of course, I have parents who force me to go so that's how I ended up at school today. It wasn't school exactly that I dreaded. No, it was the people. Well, more importantly, the Yuki fan club. You see, its been about two days since their warning and yesterday they cornered me.

It was awful. Five of them cornered me and took turns beating me. It took all I had not to cry out or tell Yuki after they were done. I simply went to the bathroom to cover up the damage.

I didn't want to tell Yuki. He would've been upset knowing that the Fan Club beat me up because I was going out with him. So I just didn't tell him.

It wasn't hard to conceal it. They basically left my face alone so I just wore shirts and skirts that covered the bruises. If anyone noticed I would just shrug them off, laughing. It didn't matter what people thought.

Today, though, I wasn't going to let them corner me. I just had to keep myself surrounded by friends and after school I would stay close to the student council room when waiting for Yuki. It shouldn't be that hard.

"Hey." Yuki's voice pulled me out of my thoughts. I looked up to see him leaning on my desk, smiling down at me.

"Hey to you too." I answered him, smiling back.

"Lost in your thoughts? You didn't even notice me come in." He joked.

"Yep." I answered, hopping up onto the desk, next to him. "Just thinking about what we're going to do this weekend."

Yuki raised his eyebrows at me. "And who said you get to decide. I think it is my turn to plan a date, don't you think?"

"Good," I said, looking around for teachers before kissing him quickly. "Because I had no ideas, at all." He laughed with me.

"I'll surprise you, then." He whispered in my ear as he headed to his seat, and I felt my eyes go wide with shock.

I popped back in my seat as the rest of the class came in. Some of the fan club girls gave me a nasty grin as they passed. I cast my eyes down, trying to avoid more of their wrath. It wasn't fair. They shouldn't be trying to control who I date.

Yuki walked me to my next class after this one was over. It was super sweet of him to do even though he was probably going to be late for his next class.

"You're going to be late to your class, Yuki." I said, as we walked hand in hand.

"Probably but why would I give up this chance to walk you to class?" He teased.

"You're just drawing attention to us. It's not like we don't already have problems with the Fan Club. We don't need the extra attention." I pouted, looking around at the glaring girls around us.

"I don't care. This is my life and I want to spend it with the person I choose and there's nothing those silly girls can do about it." He said, and I looked at his face. He had taken on a contemplative look as if he had never really thought about it before. I smiled and squeezed his hand.

"Okay. This is my class, you know." We stood in front of my classroom, just grinning at each other.

"I better go then. I love you." He said.

"I love you, too." I stood on my toes to receive his kiss and then pushed him lightly on the back to get him on the way. He looked back at me, grinning like a lovesick puppy. My insides did a little flutter at his face but I turned into my classroom, embarrassed.

"You think you're all that, don't you?" A random girl sneered at me. I waved her off, the happy feeling still in my stomach.

"Does it matter? Yuki loves me. So nothing else matters." I said to her, grinning. Luckily class started right then so she didn't have time to respond. I directed my attention to the teacher at the front but I drew some satisfaction knowing that there was at least one thing the Fan Club girls couldn't take from me.

Class ended fairly quickly and I slowly gathered up my things. The girl walked past and gave me the dirtiest look she could muster and I just shook my head. There was nothing she could do about it right now so why worry about it?

The rest of school passed in a sweet blur. I don't know what was going on with Yuki today but he was being oddly romantic. He picked me up from classes and walked me to them. He carried my books for me and kissed me openly in public. Finally I just asked him point blank what was going on with him today.

"Yuki, what is going on with you today?" I asked him as he walked me to my last class.

"What do you mean?" He asked back at me.

"Well, you're being oddly romantic today. It's kind of weird." I explained.

"You don't like it." He said, looking crestfallen and dropping my hand. I shook my head.

"No I like it. It just seems odd for you, that's all." I said, grabbing his hand. He smiled a little at me and I had to smile back. It was contagious.

"I don't know what it is. I guess I'm just in one of those moods today." He answered finally as we stopped in front of my class. "Well, this is your class so I'm going to mine. I'll see you after school, okay?" I nodded and he left quickly.

I walked into class and sat down as it started. Yuki must have been late then. Although I'm pretty sure he used being student council president as an excuse to be late to his classes. I smiled to myself as I thought of Yuki. He was such a good boyfriend.

Class ended quickly and I found myself slowly trudging through the halls toward the student council room. Suddenly, I decided to change course and headed off towards the front of the school. I decided to wait for Yuki outside in the front of the school so I could talk and say goodbye to my other friends.

"Adrianna!" A voice called from the crowd. I turned quickly to find Tohru, Kyo, and the gang heading towards me.

"Oh, hey guys." I waved at them, smiling. They hurried over to join me next to the door. Momiji immediately glommed on to me. I laughed at him with everyone else.

"Hi Momiji. What's new with you?" I asked as I detached him from me.

"Adrianna, I missed you! We haven't talked in forever. Nothing's new with me but how about you?' He asked, bouncing up and down, true to his nature.

"Sorry Momiji, I guess I've just been busy with stuff." I answered.

"You mean, busy with Yuki?" He asked, hitting the nail on the head. I laughed again.

"Okay, okay. You got me, alright? Do you all feel like that?" I admitted to them, and they nodded to my questions.

"It's alright. It's nice to see you and Yuki so happy." Tohru put in and I beamed at her.

"Thanks Tohru. So is everyone heading home?" I looked around the group and most nodded in agreement.

"I'm heading to work and Kyo's walking me there but everyone else is going home. Are you waiting for Yuki?" Tohru asked me and I blushed.

"Yeah. Yuki walks me home almost every day. I just have to wait for him to get out of student council." I finished, watching as the last people walked out and I spotted a familiar head bobbing out with the others.

"Kakeru, are you trying to sneak out again?" We all turned towards him, as he whipped around guiltily. He sighed and shook his head.

"I can't believe I got caught again. Stop catching me, will ya?" I shook my head and smiling, pointed him inside the school.

"No. Now off you go." I said to him as the others pushed him into the school. We could hear him grumbling all the way until he turned the corner.

"Silly Kakeru, he's always trying to get out of student council." I tutted, and turned back to the group. We talked for a little while longer and then Tohru, Kyo, and the girls said goodbye. Then it was just Momiji, Haru and I left.

"You guys don't have to go home yet?" I asked the boys as I took a seat on one of the school steps.

"No." Haru said shortly. I smiled up at him and patted the step next to me.

"Then sit." He smiled at me.

"I got to use the bathroom first. Momiji, do you have to use it too?" Momiji nodded and followed him, briefly looking back at me till I made a gesture with my hand to go on.

They left and I was left sitting there by myself which I knew was a mistake. Immediately girls surrounded me and picked me up, kicking and scratching. The girls carried me over to a corner where they started to kick and punch me till I was bleeding. I thought they would never stop until a voice rang out across the space.

"Hey! What are you guys doing over there?" The girls scattered, leaving me a crumpled mess. I looked up to find Haru's face above mine. He swept me up and carried me to the nurse's office, Momiji trailing behind us. He set me down gently while he and Momiji got to work patching me up.

"Don't tell Yuki." I whispered as I wiped my face with the back of my hand.

"You bet I'm going to tell him. Those were Fan girls weren't they?" He accused, as he bandaged up my leg.

"Yes but please, Haru." I pleaded with him. He sat back on his heels to look at me, his teeth clenched and I finally realized how angry he was.

"Why shouldn't I tell him?" He demanded.

"Look, Haru. You know Yuki just like I do. He'll think this is his fault and it's not. It's not his fault those girls are obsessed with him and are attacking me because of it. Plus what could he do about it? They don't listen to him anyway." I laid out my reasons for him and he unclenched his jaw a little bit.

"Okay but what do you plan on doing about it? You can't be planning on letting them continue to beat you up." He said angrily. I sniffed and reached for my bag.

"Of course not. I just have to find a permanent solution to stop them and I haven't found one yet." I said nonchalantly as I redid my makeup to cover up the new bruises and hopped of the bed. "And look, I'm fine. So there's no need to worry. I'm handling it."

"Adri, please think about what you're doing." Momiji said, as I turned to the doors. I turned to smile sadly at him over my shoulder.

"I am, Mo. Now come on guys, I'm sure Yuki's out by now and looking for me." I headed out the door and I could hear their footsteps following me. I walked hurriedly down the hall, not looking where I was going and ran smack dab into Yuki, literally. He laughed as I threw my arms around him once I realized who it was and he returned the hug.

"You seem to run into me a lot." He chuckled; releasing me to arm's length. I shrugged as Haru and Momiji caught up with us. "What were you guys doing down there?"

"Oh, Haru was just patching me up." I pointed to my leg. Yuki frowned, concerned.

"What happened?" He asked and both of us looked at Haru.

"I fell." I lied quickly, hoping the other two would go along. I sighed relieved as Haru and Momiji agreed with me. Yuki accepted it and offered me his hand.

"Are you okay to walk home? Do I need to carry you?" He asked genuinely.

"As much as I'd love for you to carry me, I think I can walk." I laughed, taking his hand. I turned around to the boys. "You guys going home then?"

They nodded and split from us as we got to the street. I looked at Yuki and for a moment just admired his profile. The fact that he was mine never ceased to amaze me no matter how many times he told me he loved me. I reached up and kissed his cheek. He looked at me, startled out of his own reverie.

"What was that for?" He asked, his free hand reaching up to touch his cheek, a tiny smile gracing his lips.

"For you. You looked like you could use one." I told him. He reached down to kiss my cheek and I grinned like an idiot.

"Well, thank you. I did need that." He whispered in my ear. We continued on walking after that, as if we hadn't just shared a special moment with each other. He told me about his day, I shared stories about mine. I questioned him on what our special date was going to be this weekend, he refused to tell me anything. It was all idle chatter until we reached my house and kissed goodnight.

We stood in front of my house, facing each other, Yuki towering over me. My mouth quirked into a smile as he leaned to give me a chaste kiss good night. I wrapped my arms around his neck to hold him there for a few more seconds before we drew apart. I dashed up my stairs quickly before turning around to find him still standing at the base.

"Bye, Yuki. I love you." I said sweetly and he smiled.

"I love you more." He turned to go and I called after him to be safe. He waved a hand in acknowledgement and I entered my house, happy all the way down to my toes.

The rest of the week went by in a haze of happiness. There weren't any Fan girl attacks and I thought they had finally left me alone. Yuki and I, though, were living in our own sort of blissful bubble and it just kept getting better. In fact it was so good it had me wondering how it would burst.

Anyway, today was our big date that Yuki had planned. He had warned me to dress warmly so I did, including jeans, a long sleeved shirt, a slightly puffy jacket, and a beanie with a puff on top. I was glad he had warned me beforehand because when he picked me up it was freezing. We could even see each other's breath when he came to the door around lunch to pick me up.

"Hi Yuki." I said as I opened the door for him. He stepped quickly in the house to get warm for a second.

"Hi. Are you ready for today?" He asked, excited. I nodded and slid on my mittens.

"Yep, let's go." He grabbed my hand as we stepped out into the cold and headed off. He didn't tell me where we were going, just pulled me along slowly. He was carrying a bag I hadn't noticed before and it bounced with every step we took.

"Are you ever going to tell me where were going?" I asked playfully. He shook his head.

"We're almost there anyway. Just be patient." He told me. We walked a couple more blocks before I saw where we were headed.

It was the park Akito and I had walked along when we had broken up. Yuki didn't know this of course. The lake which we had walked around was now frozen solid and there were a bunch of couples and families ice skating on it. I stopped Yuki and smiled at him.

"We're going ice skating?" I asked and he grinned.

"Yep." He answered.

"But I don't have any ice skates?" He just laughed.

"I've got it covered. I borrowed Tohru's; I figured you guys were the same size. Now don't worry I've taken care of everything today." He told me as he pulled out two pairs of ice skates from his bag and one to me. I sat down on the hard ground to try them on and they fit perfectly.

"They fit." I cheered as Yuki and I helped each other up and waddled over to the lake.

I had never been ice skating before so I was a little nervous to try it out. I stepped one skate on to the ice and then the other. I skated a little way before falling right on my butt. Yuki laughed so hard I thought he was going to fall over too. He came and helped me after he had gotten control of himself. We skated together, stopping every couple of minutes when I fell over. We laughed and talked about everything, having a great time. By the end of it I was okay at skating, being able to skate without holding Yuki's hand.

We stopped after what seemed like a couple of hours. Yuki knelt down to help me get the skates off before turning to his own. He wiped both pairs of skates before sticking them in his bag and turning to me.

"Alright, ready for dinner?" He asked, eyes twinkling.

"There's more?" I asked, incredulously. He took my hand and led me down a couple of streets, before stopping at a small restaurant with twinkly lights in the window. He glanced at me with a grin before pulling me in, and I followed him breathless.

"Hi, reservations for Sohma, please?" Yuki asked the waitress at the front and she nodded, checking him out.

"Of course Sohma-san, right this way." She led us to a table for two, her smile tightening a tiny bit as she notice our intertwined hands. Yuki held out the chair for me and I sat gently.

"A perfect gentleman." I commented as he sat down himself. He laughed.

"Do you expect anything else?" He teased me back. Our witty, playful banter lasted till the main course where we broached more sensitive subjects like Yuki's family. His brother, for instance, was one of the topics.

"I want to meet him for real, Yuki. Not for a few minutes at some party that I ran out of but introduced as your girlfriend. Is that so bad?" I reasoned with him. He shook his head.

"Adrianna, I don't even like my brother. He's quite irritating and it doesn't matter if he knows you as my girlfriend. Honestly, he'd probably harass me more if he knew we were going out again." He said, trying to make light of it.

"What do you mean he doesn't know we're going out?" I asked dangerously. He paled.

"We don't talk very much but I'm pretty sure he probably knows. Shigure knows which means Ayame probably does." He explained quickly.

"He's still your brother and I want to meet him for real." He sighed.

"Alright, I guess I'll take you to his shop next week." He agreed as we finished our dinner. He called the waiter for the check . We left quickly and were soon standing out in the cold again.

"One more surprise tonight." Yuki told me, in front of the restaurant, taking a small street off the main road.

"Oh? What is it?" I pushed. He stopped and grinned at me.

"We're going to take a walk." I raised my eyebrows at him.

"But its freezing tonight." I stated and he nodded.

"I know." He said and led the way again, taking us back to the park but down a small path. He slowed for us to walk hand in hand down this path.

The path was closed off with trees and bushes on both sides. The trees and bushes had lights threaded through them, decorated a little like the back of the dance. The lights twinkled slightly, giving the path a romantic glow.

"Lots of couples walk on this path because they decorate it at this time. I thought it would be a nice way to end our date." He said, shyly, as I studied the path.

"It's so pretty." I looked back at him, catching his shy expression. "I love it, Yuki. You surprise me all the time. Who knew you were so amazing?"

He blushed and I tucked a lock of hair behind my ear, pretending not to see. We continued down the path until we ran across an open section with a little bench in it. The bench itself was lovely but the scenery around it made it a complete picture. It seemed to call out to us.

"Oh Yuki, I feel like I need a picture." I sighed as I fingered my camera in my pocket. I pushed him gently towards the bench, pulling out the camera. "Now say cheese." He whipped around and I quickly took the picture.

"Did you just take my picture?" He asked, faking outrage.

"Yep. What are you gonna do about it?" I teased him, dangling the camera in front of him. He grabbed my waist and swung me around, somehow grabbing the camera as he did. He then took a shot of my laughing face. I grabbed for the camera and he fell on the bench trying to escape my hand.

"Do you kids want us take a couple of pictures of you?" An old man called out to us. He stood there with an equally old lady. They were standing there smiling at us.

"Oh would you sir?" I walked quickly over to them, handing the man the camera.

I showed him how to use it and quickly he gestured me next to Yuki. He barked some directions at us and we stood in the positions and he took the picture. It quickly turned into a photo shoot with Yuki and I as the models. We had fun with it, though. Finally, when Yuki had had enough of the pictures we parted with the old couple, laughing as they walked away talking about how we reminded them of themselves.

"Yuks, do you think they were like us when they were young?" I asked, still hyped from the photos.

"I have no doubt." He chuckled along with me, wrapping his arm around my shoulders. We walked this way for a while before coming to another little opening in the path. This time it was an empty little glade, tiny and twinkling. We ducked inside, giggling like the teens we were.

Yuki turned to me, his purple orbs shining with what could only be assumed. A lock of hair fell in his eyes and I reached up to wipe it away. His hand came up to cover mine and he turned his head to softly kiss my palm. We were only like this for a moment when I felt something wet on my head. I jerked my head up to find snowflakes falling from the sky. I gasped.

"Yuki, look." I prodded softly. "Snow. Yuki. Your name means snow. You knew didn't you?" He only smiled in answer to my question and I felt in my heart that he had so when he moved his lips closer to mine, I stretched to meet him halfway.

Under the first snowflakes we kissed, my arms wrapped around his neck and fingers tangled in his silvery hair. His arms wrapped around my waist, hands on the small of my back pressing us closer together, even our eyelashes brushing together. It was magical, like something right out of a fairytale. We broke apart silently, still wrapped in each other's arms, my head resting heavily on Yuki's chest.

"Yuki, you are too perfect." I voiced my thoughts in a whisper, not wanting to break the moment.

"To me, you are perfect." He answered just as quietly and laid the softest kiss on my head. "And now, I should probably get you home." I nodded but made no move to pull away. He didn't either.

"Yuki, is it bad to want to stay here forever?" I asked him, and he gently unhooked my arms and stepped away, studying my face. A smile broke out on his face, one I hadn't seen before. A smile of pure love.

"No. Now come on." He took my hand again, and we walked from the path to my house, quiet.

We stood in front of my door on the steps. I stood on the one above him, eye level with him for once. He rested his forehead against mine, our eyes conveying a secret message to each other.

"I should go. It is snowing." I frowned slightly.

"I don't want you to go." I said selfishly. His mouth quirked at that.

"I don't either but I do have to go home and so do you. Unfortunately." I kissed him sweetly on the mouth as he finished.

"Alright. See you at school?" I asked, defeated with his logic.

"Of course." He walked a couple steps away. "Goodbye, Adrianna. I love you."

"And I love you. Goodbye, Yuki." I watched him walk away as I always did before entering my house. I crept silently up to my room and fell into bed, falling asleep quickly.

AN: Super long chapter. It took forever but only because I'm working on the biggest chapter yet. But you guys won't get that for a while. So I hope everyone loved the chapter, it's probably one of my personal favorites. So don't forget to review and tell me if you liked it or not. Peace.
