(A/N) I told you I'd update soon. Anyway, here it is.
He hadn't known quite what to do. He didn't really know Aya well. He just sort of...well admired from a distance. Though he would never admit that.
Both Yuuhi's sister and maidservant were absent and he had expected to spend the night alone. He looked at his watch. Nine o'clock. So much for his brisk evening walk.
He locked the doors, then sat down next to Aya on the couch he'd laid her on, to catch his breath.

Aya woke up and looked around remembering what had happened the previous day. She found herself fully dressed and wrapped in a blanket. She got up to search her surroundings.
"Aya?" Yuuhi said softly.
"Oh Yuuhi." Aya turned around "Where are we?"
"My house. My sister-in-law isn't home, so we're alone. I put some clothes on you cuz you looked cold." He said turning away blushing.
Aya was touched by this act of kindness and a feeling that she hadn't felt in a long time had overcome her and she embraced Yuuhi.
He uneasily turned back around to face her. "I...I mean...what happened?"
She held him tightly as she slowly retold her tragic tale.
"I'm sorry Aya...I...wish I could help you." he said hesitantly.
"You did..." she said faintly smiling "when I had nowhere left to turn, noone left to hang onto,...you appeared."

It was the day that they were to return to school. It had been almost a week they had taken off to recoperate from the traumatic events.
Aya was now living with Yuuhi and his family and she was starting to gain back her cheerfulness.
When they had gotten to school people crowded them.
"Hey you know, you wer both out for a long time!" a student called.
"We heard what happened to Aki, Aya, Yuuhi shouldn't be your escape from problems." a girl taunted.
Aya and Yuuhi kept walking.
"Aya..." Yuuhi whispered.
"Don't worry," she whispered back "I'll be strong for Aki."
(A/N) Yeah that's the end...I'm thinking about doing a sequel (even though I didn't get very many reviews)
Oh well I don't care, I'll do it anyway just because. :)
