Authors' note: Ok so about this chapter um...well...its not my favorite but I think its good anyway and you definetly should still read and review. The next chapter is going to take a bit longer but not too much...I hope...but I can't make any promises... This chapter has a really weird name and I have no idea why its still in here. Oh and the knight in shining (insert ajective here) is an inside joke between me and my friend thats why I have it in this chaper anyway. Just thought I would let you know because I got crap about that from one of my other friends.

Knight In Shining Trash

With Yuki out of the way, Ulrich checked to make sure Yumi was Ok. She wasn't. (no surprise) The tears were back and the shaking was worse then ever. Ulrich could tell that what ever had been bothering Yumi earlier was back, but also, some pain was added from the mark, that was turning purple on Yumi's arm. After Ulrich saw that, his angry grew enough for him to beat the living shit out of Yuki.

Yuki, who was back on his feet, sneered, "Oh so the knight in shining trash decided to show up to save some one who was perfectly safe, in my care." Ok knight in shinning insertadjectivehere is a really big inside joke so I apologize for my need to laugh at a really dramatic, trumatic, and i guess hilarious part of this fic)

Either Yumi's parents had disappeared and left home or they no longer cared about their daughter. Because they were simply no where to be found despite the yelling and other ruckus.

"Leave! Get out of my sight. I'm not going take this any farther here. Unless you want me to show you to the door by force, I suggest you leave now, while you still can walk," Ulrich said in a calm voice that was cold as ice. Even fearless Yuki was creeped out -GO ULRICH!-. And decided, to take Ulrich up on his offer.

Before closing the front door Yuki turned around and said, "Next time I'm not going any where." After the door was shut, Ulrich sighed in relief. Well that was until Yumi's parents came in and saw Ulrich with his arms wrapped around a distressed Yumi.

"Where's Yuki?" Mr. Ishiyama demanded.

"That pig left a second ago," Ulrich replied in tat same creepy-calm voice.

"What's wrong with Yumi?" Mrs. Ishiyama asked as she hurried over to her daughter.

Ulrich gently grabbed Yumi's black and blue (more so yellow and green at this point) wrist and showed it to them. Ulrich heard a gasp.

"What happened?" Mr. Ishiyama demanded yet again.

"Yuki decided it would be a good idea to grab Yumi's wrist. Yumi called me and I got here before any real damage was done," Ulrich said quietly as he rocked Yumi, it was helping her fall asleep. (oh how cute, Yumi is being treated like a baby...oo)

There was a rather long awkward silence before Ulrich had to break it.

"She just dozed off. I'll take her to her room. You might as well eat your dinner. I'll sit with her for a while. No disrespect but your making a mistake, she needs to grow up first," Ulrich whispered. Yumi's parents exchanged looks but said nothing.

Ulrich picked Yumi up and carried her up the stairs to her room (Baby Style). After settling Yumi in, Ulrich sat down at the head of the futon and began to stroke Yumi's hair.

After ten minutes, Ulrich heard a slight knock before Yumi's mom walked in with two plates of curry (Yumi's favorite) -Mine too-.

"I thought you might be hungry. It's the least I could do, after your performance tonight," Mrs. Ishiyama said gratefully.

"She's in pain," Ulrich said blankly.

"I know but I had no say in the arrangement. No matter what I said my husband was convinced. Even after I heard the comments and saw the looks I ignored them. But I doubt we'll ignore them now. Even if my husband still consents, I won't agree. Not to mention that you won't, I know how you feel about my daughter, Ulrich. I can see it in the way you look at her. Not like a hungry animal (Uh Yuki) but with love and caring. No matter what my husband says to discourage your feelings. Don't abandon her," Now Ulrich remembered why he always liked Yumi's mom.

"I couldn't do that to her. I'm surprised I let Yuki get away tonight, but seeing as how he was invited and I wasn't, I thought it was best to wait," They both laughed at that. (Quietly though, don't forget Yumi's sleeping)

Mrs. Ishiyama set Ulrich's plate down on the floor next to him and muttered, "This is for Yumi, just in case she wakes up with an empty stomach. I'll be down stairs if you need me, feel free to stay the night just be responsible. No matter how good of a kid you are, being a teenaged boy, I wouldn't put it passed you. I'll talk to my husband so he should leave you be. I'll leave the door unlocked just in case you want to leave and come back in. Could you just let me know if she wakes up?" Before leaving the room Mrs. Ishiyama grabbed a pillow and a spare blanket for Ulrich.

"Thank you. I half-expected to be thrown out the minute Yumi was asleep. Not that I would have left but thank you for you kindness. I'll make sure you're the first to know if she wakes up," Ulrich murmured with a grin. Yumi's mom nodded and smiled before leaving the sleeping Yumi and the sleepy Ulrich alone.

Ulrich scarffed (Spelling?) down the amazing curry (I guess you could say he pulled an Odd) and curled up against the wall, letting Yumi use his stomache, as a pillow. It didn't take long before Ulrich was claimed by sleep.
