Yui could feel a soft bed under her. 'Why am I on a bed?'
Her eyes shot open and jolted up only to be pushed back down by someone.
"Whoa! Easy does it!"
She gave him a questioning look. "Sei? Where am I?"
Sei sighed. "You fainted Yui. I brought you to the hospital."
She fell back on her pillow. "Oh..."
"How do you feel?"
'Like I've been hit by a truck!' "Ummm...I'm okay."
Sei reached over and pushed her bangs out of the way.
"Hey, Sei? How did you do that...thing?"
Sei recoiled. "Ummm, what thing?"
"That man...the one that was holding me...he had this big hole in his back..." Her eyes seemed to be pleading silently for an answer.
His mind raced. 'Should I tell her? No...no. She'd freak. Plus, she's way to weak for that...' Finally, he decided to play dumb. "I don't know what you're talking about..." He gave her what he thought was a confused look.
"Are you sure? Never mind then..." She met his eyes and stopped. "Thanks for bringing me here..."
He could swear his heart skipped a beat. "Anything for you." He leaned down to her beautiful face. All of the sudden the door flew open.
"Sei! Is she...." Sai stuttered. "I..uhh...I'll just leave now..." He blushed and gave his brother a, 'don't even think about it' look.
As soon as the door shut again, Yui burst out laughing.
Sei just sat back in the seat by the bed blushing.
"Does he do that often?" She managed through her giggles.
"Unfortunately..." He shrugged.
The door slowly opened again and a doctor walked in. "I'm sorry sir but visiting hours are almost over..."
Sei nodded to the man. He turned back to Yui. "They needed to keep you here over night...I'll see you tomorrow then..."
She nodded. "Thanks Sei. Just because I'm down dosen't mean you can slack up on our project you know." She gave him a stern look.
Sei gave her a weak smile before being ushered out of the room. He closed the door and sighed. 'I didn't tell her...'
"So how is she?" Sai said walking up to his brother.
"Ohh...She's fine..."He smiled.
"You're pathetic you know that?" His brother teased.
Sei snorted indignantly. "Gee, thanks aniki..." he mumbled walking further down the hallway.
"Hey, otouto...isn't that gift exchange thing tomorrow?"
Sei's eyes widened. "Shit!" He wheeled around and grabbed his brother's collar. "What should I do?! I don't even have a gift for her!"
Sai furrowed his brows. "You didn't get a present YET!? You've known about it for a WEEK!"
A nurse walked by shushing them.
"Can you help me? Please?!"
Sai put his hands on his brother's shoulders. "Can you let go of me?"
Sei jumped back from his brother. "Please?"
"The things you do for love..."
"Aniki!"
Sai sighed. "Why don't you...Never mind..." He waved the thought away. "Nah."
"What is it? Come on! I need help!"
"I've known that for years now." Sei wasn't very amused. "Fine...Why don't you give her yourself?"
Sei looked like he was having a heart attack. "S-S-Sai!!! What the hell?!"
"No no! Not like THAT!!"
Sei breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, Ummm...what do you mean?" He raised a questioning eyebrow.
"Tell her you remember."
"I...can't. She never liked Suboshi then so why do you think she'd care now?" He fell in one of the waiting room chairs.
"You really need to work on your self-esteem issues...Listen, she cares about you a lot. Whether you're Sai, Suboshi, Shunkaku, or a nutcase she loves you for you!"
Sei turned crimson. "She doesn't love me..."
Sai sighed. He had had enough. "You're right. She absolutely abhors you! That's why I almost walked in on you two making out!"
"Thanks for the boat of encouragement...Do you really think I should?"
"The only way you'll find out is if you tell her. But you could just sit here the rest of your life and try to figure out what could happen. Either way, it's getting late. I suggest you go buy her some flowers or something." With that said, Sai turned around and headed toward the elevator.
'I hope I did that right thing...Seiryuu, please let this work out alright in the end...for all our sakes...'
Sei watched his brother leave as he thought about what had just been said. Slowly he stood up. 'I hope Sai's right about this...'
~~~~
"So...are we done?" Sei asked looking up at the now-done decorations.
"Almost." Yui rubbed her neck. "I thought we would NEVER get done!"
"I don't see why the principle made just the two of us do it..."
"He said he wanted this to be a surprise or something...Teachers are wierd."
Sai laughed. "True...How are you feeling?"
"I don't think my condition has changed since two minutes ago Sei."
Sei blushed. "Sorry...You did just get out of the hospital."
'At least someone cares that I almost died.' She thought ruefully. "Yeah...Thanks again for last night..."
"I ummm...I had to do something..."
A sudden thought struck her. "Wait...I thought you were sick..."
"Well...er...I did get a really bad headache and I almost threw up so..." He fished around for another subject. "Hey Yui?"
Yui looked at him worried. "Yeah? Are you sure you're okay now?"
"I'm fine now. Anyway...If you could have anything for Christmas, what would it be?"
She frowned. "I don't think...I don't need anything."
"Everyone needs someone...er...thing...something..."
Yui gave him a fake smile. "I don't need anything. All I want is to know that I did good on the exams!" She rolled her eyes.
"Ever the perfect student, right? Even when you were in Ku..." Sei immediately shut his mouth.
Yui's eyes perked up. "What was that?" she asked hopeful.
"Nothing! I think I see something that still needs to be painted..." He walked to the paint buckets.
"O...Okay..." She watched him pick up one bucket and look in it. "Um, that's the wrong one...The one you need is right-Whoa!" Somehow her foot had gotten tangled in a misplaced wire and started falling. Sei caught her by the waist.
"Ummm..."
Yui blushed. "Sorry. I...ummm....
"It...It's okay..." He helped her get to her feet. 'Damn she's beautiful...' he thought watching her staighten her skirt.
"I guess we're done then..."
"Yeah...I guess so..."
At that moment the gym door creaked open and a few chattering people were heard talking about dinner plans.
"I guess I'll see you later then Sei..."
"See ya later."
~~~~~~~
Yui handed a girl with brown hair her gift. "Here ya'go Ana. I hope you like them!"
Ana immediately tore open the gift. "Oh! This looks so good!"
Yui watched her open the box of chocolate she had just given her. "Just some advice but don't let Miaka see you with those..." She exhaled loudly.
Ana giggled "Right! I almost forgot about the human garbage disposal!"
Yui giggled as well. Someone tapped her on the shoulder. "Huh? Oh! Hey Sei! What's up?"
"Ummm....Can I talk to you alone for a minute?"
Yui smiled. "Sure. Bye Ana-chan!"
"See ya Yui and thanks for the sweets!"
Yui turned back to Sei. "What's up?"
"I ummm....er....wanted to give you your gift..."
Yui grinned. "So you're my Santa then?"
"Yeah...I...I guess so..." He blushed and handed her a large bouquet of dethroned roses tied together by the Ryuuseisui. "Merry Christmas Yui- sama..."
Yui's eyes widened. "You...You're...Su-Suboshi?!"
Sei nodded silently awaiting her reaction.
Yui's eyes started to water. She threw her arms around him in a hug. "Oh God!"
He was taken aback. "Yui!" He put his arms around her as well.
"I never thought I'd see you again! I missed you so much!"
"I missed you too..." He could feel tears threatening in his eyes. Everything around them went silent.
Miaka cautiously stepped forward. "Yui-chan?"
Sei looked at Yui and then at Miaka. "Yui...Miaka's trying to get your attention I think..."
"Damn it Miaka! We'll talk later!"
Miaka shut up immediately not knowing why her friend was so snappy all of a sudden.
Yui looked up at Sei. "I love you Sei...Don't you ever EVER leave me again!"
"I won't Yui...Ever." He slowly leaned down and kissed her.
Yui couldn't help but think as the room became oblivious to her, 'I guess wishes can be granted...' She smiled to herself. For once since the incident with the book, she was truly happy.

Ugggh! Sap!!! *gags* But it's just so cute!! ^ ^-
I am SO so so so soooooooooo sorry about this being so late!! You see...I thought FF.net had updated this a while ago but unfortunately it wanted to be a big pain the the donkey and delete it.
I have had the WORST stroke of luck lately. Jan. 2, my grandpa dies. This is the second time it's happened. My grandma remarried after my first grandpa died. Then, on the day of the funeral, our car parts fell out in the Subway parking lot! Literally, fell out!!
I made a zero on a very VERY hard quiz, and cried during school. My drama grade went down to a C because the teacher neglected to tell me I missed an assignment while I was out of school! - -;; You'd think that's the end of it wouldn't you? Oh! But I am the great and mighty conqueror of my pride!
Last weekend I went on this trip with my church to Jubilate. I don't know if you've heard of it, but it's for most of the southern Baptist churches. You learn close to 7 songs in one weekend then go sing for a few churches that Sunday.
Weeeeeeelllll....Here's the FYI: I liked (keyword here) this boy in my group named Patrick. I've known him for a long time and pretty much trusted him. Well, he has a twin brother. (What is the deal with me and TWINS?! ^ ^;;;) I asked Alan if Patrick had a girlfriend. Alan said "My brother? He's never had a girlfriend."
So, I do what any love-struck idiot would do, I ask him if we could go on a date. He looks at me with his beautiful blue eyes and says, "I'm sorry, I've already got a girlfriend. We can still be friends right?"
Guys, if anyone is reading this, never say this to a girl!!!
I act like nothing's happen and just to show that, I decide to go on a trail in the woods with him, his brother, two other boys, and a girl. Mind you I'm in a state of pure "I'm an idiot"-ness.
We walk and I had my headphones on listening to my BRAND new CD that I got Friday. It's Saturday here. I end up getting lost because the boys thought it would be funny to do so....SO, then my batteries on the CD player (that I got for Christmas) run out. Now, I've just been turned down, lost, and have no music. So, I start to get really really fed-up. I finally find my way out of that God-forsaken forest and catch up to them. Patrick tells me that we're late and need to run to the rehersal hall. So, I start running.
Guess what happens? Come on, guess! Fine, I trip over a stump, my CD player goes flying and I skin my knee. Can't get worse ne? Wrong!!!!
I stand up and Patrick and the girl come over to see what's up. Then I see it. My CD is broken....in half. Now, I'm very fed up and very forlorn...I cry. In front of Patrick and I have mascarra on thanks to a 6th grader who wanted to give me a makeover. I hate mascarra. I try to run to my room and get away from all this mess but it's locked. So I end up singing in front of everyone with mascarra running down my face and I look like Tomo with a very bad day.
Now, I have the SAT this Saturday....Ugggggh! Tests....*hisses*
Oh yeah!! Umm, if you guys have any suggestions, or if you want to have a sequel, just send me an e-mail or review and say something about it. Thank you all for having the patience to put up with this spaz! ^_^;;;
