"Hi Yuki," Miguel said with a disgusted look on his face as he eyed my cell.

I smiled at him "Hi... nice of to come down here."

"No problem.... You sure you're ok?" Miguel asked me.

I stuck my tongue out at him, "Yes I'm fine.... Don't ask me that again."

"Ok I won't..." Miguel bit his lip, "I just wanted to make sure you were ok before head of to the briefing...." He smiled "You should be ok. You're strong enough to take it."

I nodded "No duh, I can take it. Why do you think I'm in the army? To play around?"

He laughed "Never mind...."

I looked at him "Why are you looking at me funny? Is there something wrong?"

He sighed "No nothing is wrong but," He bit his lip again "I just didn't want to say this here...." He gulped "I have found myself extremely drawn to you... and I wanted to know, are you really a boy?"

My jaw dropped "You're joking! What kind of question is that? Of course I'm a boy.... What makes you ask?"

"Just that you're...urmm....behavior is rather feminine...." He smiled sheepishly at me "But if you not a girl you can just forget I asked."

I blushed "But I am...." Now it was Miguel's turn to look surprised. "No...... then if you a girl what your real name... I bet it's not Yuki. It is?"

I shook my head "No its not," I gulped, "my real name is Kishira Hotoshi... and..." I broke down, "I'm... I'm sorry I had to lie...."

He just smiled at me, "Don't worry about it... I won't tell Lord Dilandau.... I know what he would do to you if I told."

I looked up at him through a wall of tears and grinned slightly, "yeah he'd have my head." I stood up mimicking Gatti, "Tonight Lord Dilandau, we're serving Kishira with a braise of wild mushrooms.... Does that suit your majesty?"

When I looked back at Miguel he was crying, "Miguel you ok?"

He looked up at me. His face was bright red, "That.... Was.... so.... Funny..."

I cocked my head at him, "It was?"

He shook his head and just grinned, "You're crazy"

"Well I'm glad you noticed."

All of a sudden Miguel's face was next to mine, "You're also beautiful"

I looked at the ground, "You think so?"

He nodded and tucked a strand of my hair behind my ear, "Yeah..."

I blushed, "You... you're... um.... Cute too...." The next thing I knew was the Miguel's lips were brushing mine. As the kiss deepened he gently pushed his tongue into my mouth. When we broke apart I was crying again.

Miguel looked at me funny, "Why are you crying?"

"Well I was kind of hoping my first kiss would be somewhere... Well somewhere a bit more romantic..."

He smiled, "Sorry..." Miguel turned and examined the wall clock, "O... I have to go now.... I'll try to get down here before I leave...." He blew me a kiss, "See you later Kishira...." I glared at him.

"Not a word to Lord Dilandau?"

"Not a single word."
