Author's Note-I have to apologize for not being able to update. There has been many circumstances that have prevented me from updating, eg. My dad and my brother both had surgery and then I had to stay at my Nona's house, and she didn't have a computer. Also, I must apologize if my spelling and crap is messedup. I just got my nails done the other day and they are so freakin' long I can hardly type. Anyways, enjoy.

Chapter 5: You can't run forever

OOO

Yuu sat on his friend's porch waiting for him to return. He couldn't go back home, he couldn't see Miki. But then, he had to go back, didn't he? He was only going to be a sophomore. And at this age he couldn't very well leave home. It was only two more days until his parents got back from their 'love cruise' as he and Miki were calling it. He smiled at the joke, but quickly frowned afterwards.

OOO

Two days passed by quickly and Yuu returned home just as his parents were pulling in the driveway. He quickly made a run for the backdoor and entered the house just in time to run into Miki. It was a head-on collision and they both fell to the floor rubbing their heads.

"I'm so sorry I didn't see you." Yuu said getting up and then offered Miki his hand. She refused it and stood up on her own. "I haven't heard from you since you made that phone call home almost ten days ago and I haven't seen you since the night before I went to the beach with Ginta and Arimi." She said crossing her arms and looking away from him.

"I'm sorry, I just. . ." He stopped. 'Uh-oh, what am I going to say?!?' He panicked and bolted for his room before he could say anything.

Miki heard his door shut. She broke down in the kitchen and began to cry, but ever so quietly in an attempt not to let Yuu hear her. She suddenly turned off the water works as she heard the front door open and the voices of her parents. 'That's right! They're home!!' Miki thought wiping away the last tear and heading towards the front door.

She literally jumped on all of them and they exchanged their greetings, until Yuu was mentioned. "Where is Yuu?" Jin asked. "Yes, we want to see him." Said Rumi. "He's in his bedroom." Miki said now frustrated.

"So, what did you two do when we were gone?" Youji asked. "Well, uh-"Miki was lost for words. What was she going to tell them? That Yuu ran off and didn't say a word to her the entire time. Or maybe that she spent the entire time either alone or with Meiko. She didn't know.

Everybody leaned in to hear what Miki was going to say. "We did all sorts of things." She lied. A minute later everyone seemed to loose interest and decided to move on to other things like unpacking.

Miki decided to visit Yuu and drag out of him what was going on. She approached his door and lightly tapped on it. A moment later Yuu opened the door and stared at the girl. "What do you want?" He asked very plainly, attempting not to be rude.

Once again tears filled her eyes as she softly said, "to talk to you." He opened the door wider to allow her to step inside. He knew he couldn't slam it in her face and he figured what is going to come out, is going to come out and there is nothing he can do about it. She sat down onto his bed as he sat on a chair.

"Where were you?" She asked, not daring to look at him. "I was at a friend's house, like I told you on the phone." He said. "Why did you go? I was hoping to do lots of things together when they were gone." She said fidgeting with her hands. "I went because, because, I was afraid." He said.

"What were you afraid of?" She asked. He didn't say anything because if he did it would be the end of his world. "I'm sorry." He said.

"What are you sorry for?" She asked as he joined her on the bed. "I'm sorry for hurting you."

She looked into his eyes and found that what he was saying actually was true. "I'm sorry for getting so upset with you." Miki said back.

Yuu placed his hand on hers and stared into her eyes. Miki felt that things were getting a little too far and she decided to leave the room. 'I'm sorry, Miki. I will tell you one day.' He vowed.

OOO

Summer passed by quickly and Yuu mostly avoided Miki. Some things slipped out that he would have never told anyone, but then again he was pretty lucky that he wasn't caught in a bad situation . . . yet.

School started again in one week, Miki was anxiously awaiting the day while Yuu dreaded it. They were back to normal again and Yuu was finding it easier to control his tongue, besides the fact that he could only tell the truth.

"Yuu, which backpack should I get, the pink one, or the blue one?" Miki said holding up both bags in separate hands.

"Get the blue one." He said smiling at her.

She smiled back and placed the pink one to the side.

Today was perfect, everything was going the way it should. Yuu wasn't asked any serious questions; he muttered stuff under his breath instead of blurting it out loud. Yep, life was good.

"Mom, Dad, we're home!" Miki yelled as they entered the front door.

No answer.

"I wonder where they went off to." Yuu said looking at Miki. She walked into the kitchen and placed the bags of merchandise on the table. She let out a sigh and sat down into one of the chairs.

A minute later Yuu was also in the kitchen sitting across the table. They sat in silence, neither one of them knowing what to do or say.

When on of them tried to say something they both tried to say it at the same time.

"You go first."

"No, you."

"Okay. . . I was just going to say thank you for going out with me today. I know that you didn't have to, but you did." Miki said slightly blushing.

"I didn't want to go either." Yuu said earning a good smack on the arm. He smiled at her angry face.

"You could have just left it at 'you're welcome'." Miki said crossing her arms.

"You're welcome."

Miki's face softened and they both began to slowly lean across the table. When their faces were an inch apart Yuu saw Miki close her eyes. She was expecting something to happen; she was expecting him to kiss her. This was it! He could finally break the spell! He closed his eyes and pressed his lips against hers.

Just when they slowly pulled apart Yuu grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her into another one. He was expecting her to push him away, but instead she returned his kiss. Their kisses became more passionate as both seemed to want this even more than the minute before. Yuu's thoughts began to wander to things that he didn't want to think about and he pulled away.

"Why do I want to be inside you right now?" He said under his breath, but because Miki was so close she heard what he said. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked into his eyes. "What did you say?"

"I said, I want to be inside you, now." He said mentally bashing his head up against the wall.

'Wait, if I kissed her that means that she has loved me mentally, emotionally, and physically, then why isn't the spell broken?' He thought, but was cut short by Miki's fist.

He placed his hand on the spot where she hit him just in time to see her run up the stairs. 'You, baka. You knew something like this would happen if you got too close to her. Shit.' He thought.

He had to get out of here. He couldn't stay here anymore. He was just making things worse. Before he jumped to conclusions he found it best if he went to talk to Marla. He quickly left before Miki could slap him again, he had gotten her REALLY mad this time.

OOO

"Yuu, what brings ya back? Did ya break the spell?" Marla asked placing her hands on her hips.

"That's why I'm here. I don't understand why it isn't broken." Yuu said.

"Explain." Marla said, sitting down into the chair behind the cash register.

"You see, I know for a fact that she loves me mentally and emotionally. But, today we've kissed and that means she's loved me physically. So, why isn't it broken?" Yuu asked. He didn't like this, not one bit.

Marla placed her chin in the palm of her hand and let out a sigh. "Yuu, a kiss ain't enough to break this spell. Ye need to get more intimate with her. Try making a wee baby, that might work." She winked.

Yuu's jaw dropped to the floor. 'Did she just tell me that I need to screw her?!'

"Get out of me shop and get to work. You'll be busy that's fer sure." Marla said with a smirk.

"Marla, I'm sixteen years old. I'm-"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah. Alright may god help ye." She said as Yuu exited.

'What the crap am I going to do?'

OOO

Yuu didn't want to go home, he couldn't, not after what he had just said to Miki. That right there probably blew his only chance. He was so angry, but mostly at himself. 'Damn it, what am I gonna do?' He thought to himself.

He turned to the only option he had, which was to not go home. He changed direction and headed for his friends house. He had a lot of explaining to do.

OOO

That day Miki and the others received a very detailed phone call from Yuu. He explained how he just couldn't come back home or go to school anymore, he said there were too many unwanted memories, which was true. He told them that he would be moving in with his friend, Brian, and he would be going to his school. He also said he would be over on Friday to pick up his things.

Surprisingly his parents supported his decision. Miki didn't know what the problem was, but deep down she had a feeling that it had to do with her. She was right, the main reason Yuu wasn't coming back was because he couldn't do something like that too Miki. He couldn't screw her and all for the wrong reasons. He didn't want to hurt her. . .

OOO

Friday came and Yuu tried his best to avoid Miki. Unfortunately, he ran into her just as he was leaving. They both stiffened at the sight of one another, until Yuu broke the silence. "Goodbye, Miki." He said as he walked past her. Lucky for him she didn't follow him, other wise she would have seen a tear roll down his cheek.

As Miki watched him walk away she whispered something that had never come out of her mouth before, "I will always love you, Yuu Matsura."
