Today I glanced at some old chapters of mine, and I saw all those times
when I was threatening to stop posting. I feel like a jerk. I'm so sorry
about all of that. I'm also sorry for all times I took forever to update,
and I'm sorry that this fic only has about 3 or 4 more chapters. Ending
sucks. I've finished writing Good or Bad, and now I'm just posting it, and
doing touch ups here and there. I've started on the sequel to Good or Bad,
and I also started to write a Sailor Moon fic. To top it all off, I saw
Bebop the movie, and was inspired last night to write a fic! So I might
even put out a bebop fic at some point. I've also realized that I should
probably continue Moving On, and Playing Dumb, but to tell you the truth, I
don't think I will. I've got major writers block when it comes to those
two. You never know, I might just decide to continue one day *shrugs*. Oh,
and one more thing... 66 reviews. I know that it's not as much as other fic's
get, but even so, I'm damn proud. Thanx everyone. I really mean it.

"Miaka, where did you put it?" Yui asked watching Miaka run around her room in search of the report they had been doing together.
"It's somewhere." Miaka said digging under her bed.
"It's due Monday, and I need to do the bibliography."
"It's Saturday, I'll find it by tomorrow, and then you can do it, ok?" Miaka said, her hair messed up from poking it under the bed, "WAIT! I KNOW WHERE IT IS!"
"Finally! Where?"
"Keisuke's apartment."
"What???"
"Mom had me drop off some cookies at his apartment, and I took my report when I went so I could ask him if he liked it. I didn't mean to forget it there."
"Miaka!!!" Yui growled, bopping Miaka on the head. "I'll go get it. It's on my way home anyway. See ya."
"Bye! Sorry!"

"Who is it?" Tetsuya called from the other side of the door.
"Yui." The door swung open, and there was Tetsuya smiling like an idiot. Some reason, Yui couldn't help but smile back. It was weird. Yui quickly got rid of the smile. "Miaka brought over some cookies the other day..."
"Cookies? Not that I remember." Tetsuya said, moving out of Yui's way so she could enter the apartment.
"Knowing Miaka she probably got hungry on the way here." Yui shook her head. That was most likely what happened. That girl has a fierce appetite. "Anyway, she brought over our report so Keisuke could check it out, and she forgot it over here. Do you know where it is?"
"Nope. If you want you can wait till Keisuke gets back. He'll be back in about half an hour."
"Ok." Yui smiled. She could think of a million reasons why she should just go, but she needed that report, so... The two settled on the couch, and let silence drift between them for a while.
"So..." Yui said, clearly really uncomfortable.
"So... how's Andrew?"
"He's fine as usual." Yui shrugged, "And Maki?"
"She's great." He smiled.
"I'm glad."
"Me too." Silence for the second time settled in the room, and again the two racked their brain for something to say. "Um... can I ask you a question?"
"Sure."
"I know it doesn't really matter since you have Andrew, and I have Maki, but... you once told me I hurt you. When? How?" Tension suddenly filled the room. 'Where did that question come from?' It was so abrupt; so sudden of a question that Yui sat shocked for a long time trying to comprehend the right thing to say. Yui could feel her body tighten as all her calm leaked away. What was she to do? Half of her wanted to lie, wanted to run, but the other half said why not? Yui remembered talking to Andrew, and remembered how good it felt to tell the truth for once. Yui reached her hands up, and grabbed hold of Tetsuya's sunglasses. He made no move to stop her as she slid them off his face.
"After the whole Seiryuu/Suzaku thing we got really close." Yui started out carefully, looking into his gleaming silver eyes, "So close that I... I started to care about you. Care about you in more than just a friendly way." Yui looked for any facial change, but just like Andrew, Tetsuya's face was blank and neutral. "One day I decided to confess my feelings for you, but when I got to your apartment I got nervous, and I ran. When I was running home I spotted you in a restaurant. You were with a girl, and she... she leaned forward, and..."
"Kissed me." Tetsuya finished, looking away. "I'm sorry you saw that."
"Me too. It really hurt. It really really hurt, but that was a long time ago. It took me a while to get over it, but I'm fine now."
"I didn't want her to kiss me. She just did. Keisuke set me up with her, and she was coming on too fast, and too strong. After that kiss I left her at the restaurant."
"Oh." Silence for the third time filled the room. Tetsuya still looked away from Yui, and Yui still felt horribly uncomfortable.
"I loved you too, you know." Tetsuya said disrupting the silence; finally meeting Yui's eyes again.
"You did?"
"Yeah. Too bad we hadn't told each other earlier." Tetsuya gave Yui a sad smile.
"Too bad." Yui said thinking of Andrew, and how much she wished that instead it would be Tetsuya with her, or even Sean. What had made her pick Andrew? Didn't matter now. Sean was gone, and Tetsuya... has Maki.
"HEY!" Keisuke said opened the front door. Tetsuya quickly slid on his sunglasses.
"Hey, man!" Tetsuya got up and walked over to Keisuke, his somber mood had totally disappeared and the bright Tetsuya was back. It made Yui wonder if the real Tetsuya was the serious one that she'd just talked to, or was the real Tetsuya the goofy, the one that always got on her nerves. It didn't matter anyway. It wasn't like it was her business to know. Tetsuya interrupted her thoughts by loudly saying, "Yui's looking for some report or something."
"Oh! I have it!" Keisuke jogged off to his room.
"Here." Keisuke said coming back into the room five seconds later holding the report out to Yui.
"Thanks." Yui smiled taking it from Keisuke, "bye" She said leaving the apartment.
The moment she was outside she felt different. She couldn't figure out why she felt weird until she was half way home. Yui realized that she felt lighter, and more relieved. Just as she thought, telling Tetsuya the truth made her fell better. It helped her move on; helped her loosen her grip on the past. Maybe, just maybe if she could fully let go then she and Sean could have another shot. A sudden flood of determination washed through Yui, and at that moment she knew exactly what she had to do next. Yui jogged home with a gigantic smile on her face, and a plan forming in her mind.
