Well, this story is doing far better than all my rest, so I'm pretty much obligated to continue it. But I will admit, it went slower that I had hoped.

Previously:

"Oh Yuki, I was so worried. I thought I had lost you." Alfina, not knowing the internal conflict within Yuki, ran up and hugged Yuki from behind.

"Alfina, I have to tell you something."

(A/N: Yuki will now be referred to as she, so I don't confuse myself.)

So there they sat, the now female Yuki, and the confused Alfina, Alfina embracing the bandaged girl from behind.

"What is it Yuki?" Alfina asked, still oblivious to Yuki's changes. Yuki just stared forward and mumbled something. "What? I'm sorry I didn't hear you." Yuki winced and mumbled again louder, but still not enough for Alfina hear her. "Please Yuki, is something wrong?" Yuki, not being able to hide her annoyance/grief, said her next sentence louder than she would have liked.

"I'm a girl!" Realizing she had yelled, Yuki lowered her voice and continued with tears in her eyes, "I've always been a girl, but something really bad happened, and I don't want it to happen again."

Yuki closed her eyes and waited for Alfina's disgusted reply. Alfina, though a bit nonplussed, was not angry, or disgusted, she was just curious as to why her friend had disguised herself as a boy.

"But, why? I mean why would you want to be a boy? What happened?" Yuki was surprised that Alfina didn't flip out, even her mom Miranda (I still can't believe she's supposed to be 34, she looks young enough to be Yuki's sister or something) was a little angry at first, though understood after Yuki explained herself. But there was not any respite in Alfina's voice.

'Maybe that means Alfina can understand too.' With that thought in mind, Yuki explained everything that lead up to Yuki's decision, except for the liking girls part.

"So, she jumped? She didn't even say an actual goodbye? I don't mean to be mean, but that is just dumb! What was she thinking?" Yuki had expected Alfina to be mad, but at her, not at her friend and kissing partner. Alfina didn't know much about the girl Yuki was talking about, but knew that she was the reason that Yuki had ended up so traumatized.

"Aren't you angry at me? I mean I basically lied to you." Alfina stopped her mini rant and stared at Yuki before speaking.

"Did you ever really say you were a boy? Besides I don't care either way, you're still the Yuki I've been traveling for the last month (about right?)." 'And the one I think I love.' Though she didn't add the last part.

"Y-you really don't mind?" Yuki asked uncertainly, "I mean don't you think its weird?" Alfina laughed.

"Yes it is very weird, but after this any other secret will be boring. Though a few hints would've been nice." Alfina said jokingly, which caused Yuki to laugh, making Alfina feel proud to finally make Yuki smile. 'Such a beautiful smile. Wait, not right now!' Mentally shaking herself, Alfina turned all her attention back to Yuki.

"Yeah well, after five years, I got pretty good at hiding any public urges. Though flying was one I could never get rid of, even if I had wanted to." 'She really isn't disgusted or anything, I guess I didn't dare hope this, but I'm so relieved.'

"Now that we have cleared up the matter of your gender, you need to go to sleep and let your injuries fully heal." The look in Alfina's eyes softened the stern statement she gave to Yuki.

"Yes, ma'am." Yuki stiffened her back and played along, though the large smile plastered on her face didn't help the image. "Wait, where are you going to sleep." looking around Yuki only saw the one cot in the small tent.

"Outside, why?"

"Won't that be uncomfortable for you?"

"Well maybe a little, but your injured, so you take the cot." Yuki was going to argue, but the stern look in not only Alfina's stance (sitting stance), and the look in her eyes left no arguments.

"No fair, fine I'll take the cot." With that Alfina tucked Yuki into the cot and left the tent. Before letting exhaustion take its full toll on her, Yuki let a single thought go through her mind.

'Maybe I have a chance after all.'

Then Yuki fell asleep.

That was fun, though I'm sure some people won't think as much. Sorry if the chapters seem short, but I'm still getting used to this so bear with me.

Next chapter, Alfina's feelings more private feelings on the matter, and an actual description of what the new, or is it old, Yuki looks like (Gasp), seeing as how I have worked it in just yet.

Hope to seem some happy reviews, though I'll even take flames, can't say I'll like'm though.
