A/N: I'm normally really speedy on updates, but I've been working on my book (Daughter of the Wolves) so I haven't found much time for it… unfortunately. winces Forgive me? whimpers

Hmmm… I'VE FINISHED MY BOOK!!! AHHHHHHH!!! YESSSSSSSS!!! WOOOOOHOOOOOOO!!!!!

Sorry… never mind… hmmm… just read… please?

Could you cry a little
Lie just a little
Pretend that you're feeling a little more pain
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me

If your love could be caged
Honey I would hold the key
And conceal it underneath
The pile of lies you've handed me
And you'd hunt those lies
They'd be all you'd ever find
That'd be all you'd have to know
For me to be fine

Yeah

And you'd cry a little
And die just a little
And maybe I would feel just a little less pain
I gave, now I'm wanting something in return
So cry just a little for me

Faith Hill, Cry

Midnight Unusualities

Best Friends are Always Right!

Kel trudged over to her door, wiping the seat off her forehead.

She opened the door to admit a very annoyed Yuki. Kel tried to hide her surprise behind her Yamani mask. Yuki never got annoyed. She was a Yamani after all.

Yuki bustled in, holding an air of dignity about her that a normal five foot three Yamani would not have had. Kel admired her in a way.

"Keladry of Mindelan," Yuki snapped, pushing Kel onto a chair. "Sit there and do not move until you have heard me out. And even then you better do what I say."

Kel obeyed meekly. She'd rather do whatever Yuki submitted to than have to fact the tiny Yamani when she was in one of her moods.

"Keladry," Yuki snapped again. Kel shuffled back further into her seat, ad though afraid that Yuki might bite her fingers off. She certainly looked angry enough. "Have you seen Domitan lately?" She inquired coldly.

Kel squirmed uncomfortably in her seat under Yuki's penetrating glare. "Yes," she mumbled.

"And am I right in saying that you met him under rather undesirable circumstances?"

Kel looked down at the floor. She couldn't look into Yuki's eyes. If she did, Yuki would see how badly she was controlling her mask. "Yes," she muttered again.

"And am I right in also saying that when you woke up, you shunned Domitan and threw him out of your room? And am I also right in saying that he was devastated, yet you have made no attempt to either talk to him or console him? Why did you sleep with him if you knew you were going to act like that the next day? Why did you not just tell him no? It's not like you to do something and then regret it, Kel."

Kel sighed. "I don't know why I did that. I don't know why I didn't talk to him about it. I don't know why I didn't stop him if that wasn't what I wanted. I…" she raised vulnerable eyes to the other woman, "I wanted to do it, Yuki. I really did. But I guess I stopped him because… I'm scared. I'm scared of Dom's love. I know he has a reputation with the Court ladies, and I thought… I thought… I thought he was using me like he uses them. I wanted to be the one to be the rejecting, so as not to have to wait for him to reject me."

Yuki gazed down with pitying eyes upon Kel. "He loves you, did you know that?"

Kel looked back down. "I had guessed. I didn't know if I was right though, and I didn't want to say anything in case I was wrong and ruin our friendship."

Yuki grumbled something indistinguishable in Yamani. Then she answered Kel. "But as to something you said before. You said that you thought Dom would use you like one of the Court ladies? That's wrong, Kel. He loves you. You're his friend, and his comrade in arms. He would never use you so shallowly."

Kel had guessed the next part. She just wondered how she was going to voice it. "I guess I should talk to him?" She asked sullenly.

"I think he would deserve that- and an explanation," Yuki told her gently.

"Right," Kel mumbled, talking both partly to herself and Yuki. "Talk to Dom. Have to do that. Soon. Very soon. Before he decides he doesn't like me anymore. Soon. Not yet though. Not today. I couldn't handle today," Kel's head suddenly snapped up. "Did you say he loved me?"

Yuki smiled kindly. "Yes, Kel. He said he loved you."

Kel nodded her head slowly. "He loves me. Alright. I love him. he loves me. It should all work out alright in the end. But I have to talk to him. Soon. Talk to him. Soon. Talk to him soon. Soon…"

A/N: Awwww! I like Kel and Yuki as friends. They're so cute! Anyway, I am actually going to have Kel confronting Dom, and FLUFF! You mad people! I am actually a closet romantic grins shyly but don't tell anyone! Shhhh!

So how do you want Dom to react to Kel? Should he be angry, or should it be all lovey-dovey? Hmm? Tell! Come on, spill the beans!

Okay… now review! That's what that little button down there is for anyway, isn't it? Isn't it? Is it?
