"We're here…" said a male voice.
"Wow! Jess! You call this an apartment? It's a mansion!" shouted Yori.
"Just like back home in America." Smiled Jess.
-In the Mansion-
"I-It's huge… this really reminds me of home." Said Yori.
"I'm glad. Here, let me show you your room." Said Jess.
"Oh! Master Jess! I'm so happy you have returned! The kitchen's a mess again! Are you sure you still want to keep that filthy mutt?" asked an old lady wearing a white apron.
"Mrs. Jacobs, I am fully aware of what a mess Scrood can create. But I am keeping him no matter what. Now if you'd please excuse Ms. Yori and I, I may show her, her new bedroom." Exclaimed Jess.
"Right Master Jess. Good day Ms. Yori." Replied Mrs. Jacobs.
"Good day." Replied Yori before following Jess. "Boy, I didn't know Ms. Jacobs followed you here all the way from America. She's still he same old goofy self."
"Yeah, but so are you." Replied Jess as he unlocked a room.
"I-It's huge Jess! I-I can't possibly stay in such a room as this! I don't deserve something like this! Jess, I can't! I can't!" said Yori.
"Please, think of it as a symbol of my love for you." Replied Jess.
"Your l-l-love?" said Yori.
"That's right. Now, get a good night's rest and tomorrow I'll have the limousine bring us to school." Smiled Jess.
"Jess wait. I just wanted to say thank you… and that… I…I l-l-love you too." Replied Yori deeply touched by Jess's kindness.
"No, Thank you Yori. For loving me," Said Jess as he closed the door shut.
-With Kiyoshi-
"Damn it Yori! Why'd you have to really go and move out! Argh! It's all because of that bitch! That Jess guy… he doesn't know when to end it! That fucked up guy is probably doing in her right now! God Damn it! I got to a go over there and see Yori! I can't sleep anyway." Thought Kiyoshi as he put on some clothes and slipped out the window.
-With Yori-
"I can't sleep. Jess is so kind to let me live here… but I still feel bad about the way I treated Kiyoshi yesterday. I wish there were someway I could apologize.
"Psst… Yori! –Tap--tap--tap- Yori!" whispered a desperate voice. "God damn it Yori wake up! It's freezing cold out here!"
"K-Kiyoshi? I-Is that you? What in the world are you doing here? Here, let me open that for you." Said Yori surprised.
"Gee thanks for taking your time. Umm Yori, I… I just came by to uh, check on you. Just to see if anything's wrong." Said Kiyoshi blushing.
"What do you mean? What could be wrong?" asked Yori. "As you can see nothing is out of place and I'm perfectly safe."
"Yeah right. You don't know what's gonna happen to you here Yori… God why do you have to be so thick headed! I guess I'll have to try and convince you to move back with Aunt Kura and I. She already misses you… I already miss you." Thought Kiyoshi.
"Hey, what the hell's going on in here?" asked Jess as he slammed open the door.
"J-Jess! Oh umm…uh…. Oh no!" thought Yori." I really hope they don't fight!"
"What the hell are you doing here? This property is off limits and you better leave immediately before I call the cops on you." Said Jess.
"Fine, I'm leaving I'm leaving. Yori…please, just think about it. Think about it…" said Kiyoshi as he hopped out the window.
"Damn bastard…" said Jess under his breath.
"-Sighs- I'm sorry Jess… I should've never had let him in. But he did come all this way just to get me to go back…that maybe I should go back…"said Yori.
"What n-
"Jess… I-I think I might've made a huge mistake by coming here…" said Yori.
"Nonsense. Tell you what, why don't' you stay here for a few days and then make your decision then. What do you say? Just to try it out. I won't mind either. In fact, I love it when I can hang around you." Suggested Jess.
"I-I don't know… Kiyoshi won't like it," said Yori.
"Who the hell cares about that bastard. Just do what you want to do. I mean, you do want to spend more time with me right?" grinned Jess.
"Yes… but-
"No buts, then it's settled. I'll have everything arranged so nothing can possibly go wrong… or worse… no one will interfere…" said Jess. He whispered the last part and walked out of the room giving Yori a goodnight peck.
-APETW-
"Oh, it's you…" said Kiyoshi as he bumped into Yori and then walked past her.
"K-Kiyoshi…" said Yori under her breath.
"Hey babe, oh umm hi Jess. Thank you again for driving me to school." Smiled Yori.
"Look Yori, I've been thinking and I need to tell you something at lunch okay?" stated Jess.
"Umm… sure. I think I have an appointment at lunch but I'm sure I can reschedule if it's that important." Smiled Yori.
"It's important. I hope you don't mind rescheduling." Grinned Jess.
"Sure thing, it won't be a problem." Replied Yori as she walked to class.
"Yes! I finally get my chance…" grinned Jess as he walked to his class as well.
-Lunchtime-
"Where is she? Yori told me she'd cancel her appointment…" thought Jess.
"Jess! Hey Jess! Sweetie, you haven't called me in ages! I knew I'd find you at this school!" shouted a girl.
"Yukako? Why are you looking for me?" asked Jess. "Fuck… shit now what am I going to do…"
"Jess dear, we're still together! I mean of course, you didn't forget… did you? I told you I'd be gone for an exchange trip… but that I'd return soon enough." Said Yukako.
"I guess I didn't catch that part…" muttered Jess.
"Excuse me?" said Yukako.
"Never mind…" muttered Jess.
"Are you waiting for somebody-
"J-Jess?" asked a quiet voice.
"Y-Yori? Yori it's not what it looks like…Yori? Yori!" shouted Jess as Yori began running the other direction.
"Is she someone you tutor honey?" asked Yukako.
"Please excuse me," Said Jess as he ran after Yori. "Yori!"
-Hour later-
"I can't believe this! He has a girlfriend and he's cheating on both of us! He has changed! He's not the kind-hearted and fun-loving Jess I used to know… no, now he's different. He's a whole lot worse! I want the old Jess back! Sniff" thought Yori as tears spewed out of her eyes. "Why can't things go back to how they used to be! Why did Jess have to move away in the first place? Why did mom have to die? Why did my classmates hate me? Why do I hate myself! Why? Why? Why!"
"Yori?" asked a calm voice. Yori looked up with a wet smeared face from all the crying. "K-Kiyoshi?" sniffed Yori. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I shouldn't have listened to him and doubted you! I'm sorry Kiyoshi! P-please! Please forgive me! I-I want to move back! Please if it's all right! I want to move back! Sniff –sob-!"
"Shh, shh… quiet down… everything okay. That Jess is an ass anyway…forget whatever the hell he told you. Pretend you never got to meet the new Jess and this new Jess never existed. Just try it, it'll make you feel a lot better." Laughed Kiyoshi.
"-sob- -sniff- -sob-
"Okay look, I'm sorry Yori. I'm sorry that I tried to force you to do something that you didn't want to do. I know you want to be with Jess now so I guess we can go back to being really close friends/cousins." Grinned Kiyoshi. "I'm sorry Yori."
"-sniff-sob—sniff-sob- Oh Kiyoshi! –swings her arms around him and literally makes him fall backward- Oops I'm sorry! B-but I-I don't want to be with Jess anymore… I-I've finally seen who he really is." Sighed Yori as she hiccuped. Kiyoshi looked at Yori and felt guilty and at the same time angry as hell. He wanted to kill Jess for cheating on her! Then suddenly a thought came to him; he told Yori in an unusual way that he didn't like her "in that kind of way" anymore… was this true? Did he truly stop loving Yori "in that kind of way"? Then again… there was always that girl in his heart… not Yori… the other one. Who is she again? Oh that's right, her name is Rinu.
-At the Mansion-
-knock-knock-knock-
"Yori? Are you in there? It's me, Jess… You have to believe me! I did date while you weren't here in Japan Yori! Her name is Yukako and I met her right when I was accepted into APETW. We dated for a year… until she had to go on her exchange trip to Europe. I thought that for sure she'd never come back so I assumed it was over between us…but just this afternoon she informed me that we were still together. I'm being honest Yori! I didn't cheat on you! I swear! You have to believe me! Yori!" knocked Jess.
-click-
"Yori?" asked Jess.
"I'm leaving Jess. You won't have to ever talk to me again…" said Yori quietly as she pulled her luggage out.
"Yori! No! don't go! Don't! Please! You have to believe me! I didn't cheat on you!" protested Jess. "Yori!"
"I'm leaving…" was all Yori kept saying until Jess grabbed both of her arms and blocked the doorway. "Let go of me."
"Even if you go I'll never stop loving you Yori! Just let me tell you something important. What I was meaning to tell you earlier!" shouted Jess as he pushed Yori to the ground and got on top of her.
"I wanted you to be my girlfriend Yori… I wanted you to be the one…I love you…" whispered Jess as he gave Yori a short kiss and released her.
"…I guess this is it… It's over between us forever… Goodbye Jess…" said Yori quietly as she walked out of the mansion. "Great, now how am I supposed to get to Aunt Kura's? Oh I know! I'll call her."
-Cell phone-
"Aunt Kura? It's me… Yori…"
"Yori! Good Heaven's child! I miss you so much! –hiccup-"
"A-Are you okay aunt Kura… you sound a bit… umm… overdosed."
"Yes, yes, I'm fine sweetheart. Now, why are you calling at this time of hour?"
"I- uh well… umm… may I speak to Kiyoshi please?"
"Oh well darling of course you can. Let me just get his lazy bosom over here." Laughed Aunt Kura.
"Hello?" asked a guy's voice.
"Kiyoshi? It's me, Yori. I need a huge favor… It's over between me and Jess… We aren't in each other's lives anymore… -sniff- and I feel really crappy now… and I need a ride back home… this isn't my day… so please Kiyoshi, can you please come and pick me up or come help me with my luggage? You're mom's drunk and I don't want any trouble…"
"…Sure." Replied Kiyoshi.
"Thank you so much Kiyoshi! I think it's starting to rain- yes, indeed it is starting to rain. I'll be at the bus station waiting. Thank you so much Kiyoshi!" thanked Yori."
