Title: A Fight for Love

Chapter 2: Love at First Sight

Disclaimer: I don't own any of the characters. I just own the plot.

'Is that a true statement that Yuhi had said to me? Does he really love me? Get a hold of yourself Aya. You only knew him for like a day! You don't know him that well. What if he's like the rest of the guys at school? But I feel that he's different. He had saved me. Wait but Aki said in order to have friends you have to get to know them a bit more and talk to them. What happens if it's not friendship they want? What happens if it's love that they want? Aki I sure need you help on this one…' Aya thought. Aya looked at Yuhi. 'He looked so delicate and so fragile. ' Aya thought. She then stroked her fingers in his hair.

"What am I going to do with you, Yuhi?" Aya whispered.

"Love me…." Yuhi said in a faint voice. Aya's eyes widened as Yuhi got up not letting his eyes leave Aya's. Yuhi brushed his hand against Aya's rosy cheek. "You're burning up…"

"I'm fine just a little headache that's all," Aya said softly.

"You don't feel right about this entire thing do you?" Yuhi asked turning away from Aya.

"No it's just that I've never been loved by another and I'm not sure how it works. I don't think I'm good at it…." Aya trailed off.

"There's not a wrong or a right way to love. As long as you care for the person," Yuhi said as put his right hand on top of Aya's. There was sudden knock on Yuhi's door. "Uh come in." Suzumi stepped inside and stared at both Yuhi and Aya. Yuhi realized he still had his right hand on top of Aya's. He quickly pulled off and flushed red.

"Uh yeah….Anyways Aya, I think you should call your parents. They might be worried sick about you," Suzumi suggested.

"They're sick of me all right," Aya murmured. Yuhi and Suzumi were staring at her waiting for an answer. "Uh yeah my parents…call….You know I'll just call my brother and tell him to tell my parents." Aya got up and walked downstairs. Suzumi was still in Yuhi's room standing there and observing his room.

"What happened here?" Suzumi asked looking at the broken bottle of whine.

"Accidentally bumped into my drawers and it fell," Yuhi said looking down. Suzumi raised an eyebrow.

"From the looks of it someone wasn't in a very good mood," Suzumi said. She then looked at Yuhi's bed. "Since when did you decided not to make your bed? Huh?" Yuhi gave Suzumi a dirty look.

"When did you start caring what my room looks like?" Yuhi spat.

"Okay what's going on?" Suzumi asked. "Does it have to do with Aya Mikage?"

"Look stop acting so mushy. My life is my business and not yours," Yuhi said.

"Whatever you say," Suzumi sighed and walked out of Yuhi's room.

Ring-Ring-Ring

"Hey, Aki here."

"Aki, it's me Aya."

"Aya! Where are you? Are you okay? I was worried about you."

"I'm fine Aki. I'm here at the Aogiri's house."

"Aogiri? Yuhi Aogiri's house?"

"Yeah…how'd you know Yuhi's name?"

"He's in my Algebra Class. He transferred from Takeshigii High School."

"Oh…well you know where he lives right?"

"Yeah at Jitsaki Avenue, that's also where Jason's street is at but four houses down."

"Okay I'll be waiting for you."

"Ok bye."

"Bye."

"So you're leaving?" Yuhi said overhearing Aya's conversation with Aki.

"Uhhmm yeah my brother, Aki is picking me up. You know him right?" Aya asked.

"Yeah, from Algebra," Yuhi said. Suddenly there was a beep outside.

"Wow, I guess my brother's that anxious to get me home," Aya said giving Yuhi a smile.

"Yeah, uh say hi to your bro for me," Yuhi said.

"Okay, see you at school!" Aya said. Suddenly Yuhi made a grab for Aya. Before Aya knew it she was in Yuhi's arms.

"I'm missing you already," Yuhi whispered in her ear. Aya hugged him back. There was then another beep and Yuhi released her. Aya walked out of the Aogiri's house slowly until she saw her brother smiling at her. She ran towards his car to meet her brother.

"Aki!!!!" Aya yelled as she hugged him tightly.

"Aya it's nice to see you again," Aki said as he stared at her eyes. "C'mon lets go home." Aya nodded.

"So she left, huh?" Suzumi said to Yuhi.

"Yeah," Yuhi sighed.

"You're such a gloomy old coot," Suzumi said.

"What?!?!" Yuhi stammered glaring at her.

"You're pathetic ok. You shouldn't let the girl go off without asking her out. You are definitely NOT good when it comes to girls," Suzumi said.

"How did you possibly get to that theory?" Yuhi asked Suzumi challenging her.

"You're cooking….You should know better. You've lived with me ever since your brother's death," Suzumi said softly. Yuhi could see in his sister-in-law's eye that she still hadn't healed since his brother's death. Yuhi put his hand on Suzumi's shoulder trying to comfort her. "Get the girl before it's too late. You'll never know when you're going to get another lover like that." Yuhi's eyes widened.

"Father, we're home," Aki yelled.

"You don't have to say that. It's not like they care for me," Aya whispered. Suddenly Mr. and Mrs. Mikage made their way where Aya and Aki are at.

"Where have you been?" Mr. Mikage asked glaring at Aya.

"I've been ganged up by these college guys," Aya stuttered.

"I didn't ask what happened! I asked where you've been!" Mr. Mikage yelled.

"She was at the Aogiri's. My algebra classmate helped-"

"I didn't ask you Aki, get up to your room! You're not the one in trouble here," Mr. Mikage said. Aki didn't move.

"You know what! I'm tired of you two ganging up on Aya! I'm sick of letting this thing out of control! I've decided that Aya and I are moving out!" Aki said furiously. Aya looked at Aki drying her tears away.

"And where are you two going to go to? Our relatives are all miles away from us and you can't afford the transportation," Mr. Mikage said.

"Please, Aki. Just don't get in the way with your father!" Mrs. Mikage said.

"I'm tired of listening to you too wench! You call yourself a mother too! I doubt that woman! You're just a no good bitch!" Aki shouted.

"You take that back. That's not how we raised you Aki!" Mr. Mikage bellowed. Aki ignored him and ran upstairs.

"Aki's right! What kind of parents are you two?" Aya yelled.

"You shut up! You're the one who made our lives a living hell!!!" Mrs. Mikage said. Mr. Mikage picked Aya by the arm and slammed her against the wall.

"You know what father? You know what I thought of you ever since you started abusing me? I thought you were always a son of a bitch!" Aya said weakly. Mr. Mikage slapped her as hard as he could across Aya's delicate face. It was that hard that her lip started bleeding and was knocked unconscious. Aki ran back downstairs with his and Aya's stuff. He saw Aya on the ground and immediately dropped their things. He lifted her head up and noticed she was still breathing.

"You've gone too far…You two made the worst mistake ever," Aki said softly glaring at his parents. He got up and punched his father in the stomach. He also gave him a punch in the face. Mrs. Mikage dropped to the floor crying. Aki grabbed Aya leaving all their stuff. Aki carefully placed Aya in his car and pulled off from the driveway. He sped off to get as far away from their house. He just kept driving not knowing where to go and what to do. If he goes to one of his friends' house their parents are bound to come after them there. He then remembered the Aogiri. Aki stepped on the gas pedal and drove to the Aogiri's.

Yuhi was lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. There were a lot of things on his mind, but today all he could think about is Aya Mikage. How she looked so beautiful. How she walked swiftly. How her eyes filled with mystery and sadness. How he had felt her soft and delicate skin. How he'd yearn to touch her one more time and not wanting to stop. How he would surely do that redundantly and never get tired of it. He closed his eyes and pictured Aya in his mind and opened it.

"Gaaaaaaaaaaaaakkkkkkkkkkkk!!!!!" Suzumi's eyes shot at Yuhi's door and just shrugged. "What do you think you're doing in my room!!!?" Yuhi yelled slowly backing away.

"Oh I thought you'd be lonely and decided to come up and have a little fun with you," Mrs. Q said. She kept blinking her eyes at Yuhi. She then came a bit closer to Yuhi. She winked at him and slid one of the side of her kimono at the edge of her shoulder. "Come get me tiger…" Yuhi scrambled out of Mrs. Q's hug and dashed toward the door.

"Gag….I…ugh…think….I'm…..going to…..hurl….." Yuhi said breathlessly. There was a knock on the door. Suzumi got up to answer it. Yuhi watched her leave to go downstairs. He heard a guy's voice. He surely was in a panic. Yuhi walked downstairs to see what the commotion was all about.

"Lay her here, I'll go get some water and the aid kit," He heard Suzumi say. Suzumi passed Yuhi without stopping. Yuhi peeked in the living room finding a blonde haired guy kneeling down with his hand on top of someone's hands. Yuhi walked a bit closer to see who the other person is. He then saw a girl. His eyes widened. It wasn't just an ordinary girl, it was Aya! He walked towards her. He saw that the blonde haired guy was Aki.

"Aki what happened?" Yuhi asked holding back his anger.

"Our father, he had hit her again," Aki stammered. Suzumi appeared in the living room carrying a tray of water and a cloth. Laid beside it was a first aid kit.

"I got the stuff. You guys might want to go so I could fix her up," Suzumi said softly. Both Aki and Yuhi had gone outside. Both of them hadn't said a word to each other. They waited and waited for Suzumi to finish fixing her cuts and bruises. Then Suzumi finally had come outside.

"Is she okay?" Yuhi and Aki both said at once.

"She'll be fine. You two can see her now. Oh by the way Yuhi we'll need your cooking for tonight," Suzumi said. Both Yuhi and Aki walked inside to see her.

"Hey you two," Aya said softly. She got up and flinched a little.

"You shouldn't try to get up yet," Aki said.

"Aki's right Aya, you're not well yet," Yuhi said.

"Look I'm fine," Aya said smiling at them. "Boy all this talking is making me hungry."

"Don't worry I'll stew up some grub," Yuhi said.

"Yuhi," Aki said.

"Yeah," Yuhi responded.

"Thank you," Aki said. Yuhi grinned and made his way towards the kitchen. Suzumi was in the kitchen watching Yuhi scrambling around doing four things at once.

"Take it easy Chef Cooks-A-Lot. We don't have one hundred people in this house. It's like you're cooking food for the Queen of England," Suzumi said.

"Shush up," Yuhi said as he mixed a pot of soup. "Everyone dinner's ready!!!!" Aki helped Aya towards the kitchen. There laid on the table was a big salmon fish decorated with chopped up parsley, a huge bowl of egg drop soup, a plate of rice, chopped up pork, and a pitcher of hot tea.

"See Aki I told you he's the most talented cook I've ever met," Aya said.

"Dis iz vrerry gewd! I whike diz sawmon!" Aki said with a mouthful of rice and fish.

"Eww Aki! Don't talk with your mouthful! I know it's that good," Aya said looking at her brother pigging out. Yuhi and Suzumi giggled.

"You know you two really do look alike," Suzumi said taking a sip of tea.

"Of course, we look a like and we think alike," Aya said gleefully.

"So do you guys have a place to stay?" Yuhi asked. Aya and Aki looked at each other with saddened faces.

"No, we couldn't handle it. I hated seeing Aya getting hurt so I just abandoned our parents taking Aya with me," Aki said.

"Well if have nowhere to stay, we'll be happy to let you two live with us for awhile," Suzumi suggested.

"Yeah, that's a good idea," Yuhi said.

"If its okay with you guys then sure," Aki said.

"But we have only one vacant room. So Aki you can stay there and Aya you can bunk in with Yuhi. He has a lot of room and his room can split into two different rooms," Suzumi said happily. Yuhi flushed and glared at Suzumi.

"That's perfect. Thank you very much!" Aya said. After dinner was over Suzumi showed Aki his room. Aya walked in Yuhi's room.

"Hmmm let's see here. Uh, Yuhi you're going to have to sleep on the floor. You know a lady's ought to have her beauty sleep, am I right Aya?" Suzumi smirked handing Yuhi his sleeping bag. Yuhi made a face and set up his sleeping bag. "Well if you need anything Aya just give a holler." Suzumi walked out the door and closed it. Aya sat on Yuhi's bed watching Yuhi getting ready for bed.

"You know staring at people for a long period of time is rude," Yuhi finally said. Aya blushed and turned away. "I'm just kidding." Yuhi stared at Aya. "Are you okay? Or are you still aching everywhere."

"I'm still a bit weak but I'm feeling much better than before," Aya said softly. Yuhi stood up.

"So anyways…tomorrow…do you want to go out…like see a movie?" Yuhi asked. "Well I mean I you're healed and all."

"Are you asking me out?" Aya asked surprised at what Yuhi asked.

"Well…sorta…if it's okay with you," Yuhi said.

"Well…I'd love to," Aya said smiling down at Yuhi.

"Better get some sleep. Eight hours so you'll have a lot of energy tomorrow," Yuhi said.

"Good night," Aya said.

"Night," Yuhi said.

Yuhi dashed out the room to take a bath. When he was done he quickly got dressed formally and ran to the kitchen.

"Up so early?" Suzumi said.

"Yeah, I'm going to take Aya out," Yuhi said. Suzumi raised an eyebrow and grinned.

"Going out…huh? What about Aki?" Suzumi asked.

"Well, I don't know exactly. You stay here with him. By the way have you seen Mrs. Q?" Yuhi asked.

"Mrs. Q? Yeah she's in her room moping. I overheard her saying, "Why? Why won't you make love to me? Am I too beautiful for you?" She said it over and over again," Suzumi said.

"Oh brother…She's crazy. Beautiful? Heh. The one that I find attractive is the one and only Ay-"

"Good morning," Aya said. Yuhi turned around and saw Aya. She was wearing a blue short skirt with a white tank top. Yuhi looked at her like he had seen an angel who had come to get him. "Do you think it's to revealing, Suzumi?"

"No, not at all. You look much better in it as I do," Suzumi said giving Aya a smile.

"So Yuhi are you ready for our date?" Aya asked. Yuhi nodded still staring at her with amazement. "Thanks again Suzumi for letting me borrow your clothes."

"You're welcome, now you two go ahead and have some fun," Suzumi said. Aya and Yuhi both walked out the door towards a black convertible.

"Is this your ride?" Aya asked looking at the car.

"Of course," Yuhi said opening the car door. He helped Aya in and started the car. He then opened the car's top. He backed out the driveway and drove off.

"I've never ridden in a car like this," Aya said enjoying the wind blowing against her hair. Yuhi looked at her magnificent figure.

"You look lovely," Yuhi said. Aya looked at him and smiled. They had finally arrived at the theater. "Well, here we are. So what do you want to see?" Aya looked at the movie listings.

"Let's see….we could see My Sacrifice?" Aya suggested.

"Yeah sure…I guess we could see that," Yuhi said.

"Great! I'll go get the tickets!" Aya said.

"What! No! I'll get them. I'm the one who asked you out anyways," Yuhi explained. He put his hands in his pockets trying to get his wallet. He then checked another pocket and another one. "Damn it! I left my wallet! Shit." Aya frowned and went to the ticket booth.

"Two tickets for My Sacrifice please," Aya said. The ticket person handed the tickets to Aya. She looked at them not watching where she was going. She suddenly bumped into someone. Aya looked up and saw a guy with red hair and green eyes. "Uh, sorry." He looked down at her.

"No problem," The guy said with the gentlest voice ever.

"I'm Aya Mikage," Aya said.

"Nice to meet you Aya. I'm Toya Mizuki," The guy said smiling at her.

"So what brings you here at the movies?" Aya asked.

"Oh, my friends brought me here to you know hang out," Toya said. Yuhi saw Aya talking with a guy and got a bit pissed. He ran towards Aya and put one of his hands on Aya's shoulder.

"I found you Aya. Don't go wondering around without me. So did you get the tickets?" Yuhi said glaring at Aya.

"Yuhi! This, Toya Mizuki. I just bumped into him by accident," Aya said.

"Nice to meet you. Yuhi Aogiri," Yuhi said sternly as he held out his hand. Toya shook it. "Aya we better hurry off now. The movie is about to start." Aya nodded.

"Well Toya, nice to meet again. Maybe we can meet again," Aya said.

"It's a small world. We'll bound to see each other once in awhile," Toya said. Toya took out a piece of paper and a pen. He quickly wrote something down on it and handed it to Aya. He then winked and ran towards his friends. Aya put the paper in her pocket. Yuhi stared at her.

"What was that all about?" Yuhi asked walking down in the theater.

"Oh nothing," Aya said. "Want some popcorn?" Yuhi shook his head. After the movies they headed down towards Yuhi's car.

"Well…well…well. If it isn't my Yuhi…." A familiar voice said. Yuhi and Aya turned around. "You think you could forget me just like that huh? Well you're wrong….."
