I really need to fix that last chapter... I was sick when I wrote it and I only just realized how incredibly choppy it is... sigh. I hope it didn't annoy anyone too much.

I confess, I was listening to country music while writing this... so I am afraid I ended up quoting a country song in here. It just happened! It fit so perfectly into the story that I just... I just couldn't change the line! It was way too perfect.

Wait, the only way you would recognize it is if you listen to country music... Just ignore me!

Oh yeah... everyone knows the red rose is for physical love, white for true love, pink and yellow for friendship right? thought the type of friendship...

Also, I'm sorry I was in a not so serious mood and I'm afraid this reflects it...

Chapter 20: Yellow Rose

"Who was that?" Tatsuha watched as the man in black strode down the hall. Well it wasn't any of his business. Besides with Ryuichi so close... Tatsuha felt like he was walking on air as he continued down the corridor. He had called the number that he had earned by delivering Kumaguro to the studio. The phone call was still fresh in his mind.

"Sakuma-san? No, I'm sorry he's not home. He's at the hospital right now."

"What? Ryuichi is sick? What is wrong? Will he be all right?"

"He's watching over his roommate right now. There was a bit of an accident..." Touya's eyes skimmed over the rows of cages that he still hadn't been able to get rid of yet. Those pesky little troublemakers were proving extremely difficult.

"Oh, I can give you the room number and the hospital room if you're worried. It's..."

Well at least it wasn't Ryuichi who was sick. Still, that roommate of his... Well, someone had to save Ryuichi from that she-demon and he was just the man for the job!

He knocked lightly on the door and stepped inside. If it was necessary he was more than prepared to grab Ryuichi and run away from that dragon of a woman, unfortunately not only was she sound asleep but he had fallen asleep too. Holding her hand.

Tatsuha just couldn't get past the hand part. Even though the two of them were soundly asleep no matter how hard he tried he just couldn't get them to let go. It really ticked him off.

How dare she run away from him like this!

It had taken him forever to find her again and in the end the only way he had succeeded was through following her brother Touya. She was just too good at covering up her own tracks. He had tried repeatedly to find Narumi-chan but he had always come up empty-handed until now that is. Then to find this!

Who was that man?

Aoi was pacing in his room wondering where exactly he had gone wrong. Things had been so carefully planned out. He had been in love with Narumi since the first time he had laid eyes on her. The only reason he had even gone after Yuri was for her money. Sure Yuri had been beautiful, and rich. Let's just face it she was a regular Yamato Nadesico... still there was something that just failed to hold his attention... and whatever that was the poor normal girl was the one that had it.

He had planned on killing Yuri and taking her fortune only to win Narumi's heart so he could have his own version of happily ever after... but this...

Did she know the truth?

He hadn't expected for Narumi to find his wife's dead body, he had been hoping it would have been the maid. Still it was too late for that. Narumi had found the body, and apparently held him in suspicion. She couldn't have any proof though or she would have turned him into the police already... what exactly did she know? He had to find out.

More importantly was there anyway to get her back from that guy with the pink plushy, and did she tell him anything?

There was no choice he had to find out. He'd also have to plan a way to get this guy out of the way... one way or another.

He had already dared to compromise his angel. The kiss had been proof of that, and the fact that they lived together.

Revenge was really the only choice left to him. His eyes scanned the possesions in his room. He was looking for the perfect solution.

It was impossible for Narumi not to wake up when it felt like her arm was about to be ripped off. The first thing she saw when she woke up was Ryuichi's sleeping face. He just looked so much like an angel she really didn't want to wake him up.

Still the tugging continued. Her eyes slowly followed her arm down where she saw her hand held in a tight grasp.. was that... Ryuichi's hand!

She could feel her cheeks begin to redden at the thought that she had been sleeping while holding Ryuichi's hand, and then she noticed another pair of hands trying to break Ryuich's death grip on her hand. Her eyes followed them up...

"Bunny Thief!" She screamed so loudly that several nurses came running in, and many of them thought they were going to swoon when they saw the adorable face of the still sleeping Ryuichi. It was actually really difficult to notice the man and the patient fighting with each other. Ryuichi was just so adorable.
