Chapter 1

Yui

Azusa was working on the hedges in the garden and Yui walked outside, as it started to snow. It was winter and very chilly. She shivered and looked at him, "Aren't you c-cold Azusa?"

He shook his head no and she walked over to him, "Have you ever been hugged before?"

Azusa shook his head no.

Yui stood in front of him and hesitated before she spoke again,"Have you ever danced in the snow before?"

Azusa shook his head no.

Yui walked over to him and put his arms around her, then started to dance with him. He shyly swayed with her, as they danced.

Yui looked into his eyes and smiled, "Isn't it fun?"

He nodded slightly and she leaned against him. His sheers brushed against her, as she smiled lightly. She wasn't afraid of him in the slightest. In fact, compared to everyone in the Mukami household it seemed like she was the only one who could understand him and see his potential. They saw a monster, she saw a angel.

The girl with the platinum blonde hair continued to sway gracefully with him, until he looked away from her and she released him?, backing away from him. A shear accidentally got too close to her arm and nicked her, making small beads of blood trail down her arm, as she winced.

He looked at her apologetically and she looked at the scar. His voice came out silent and low like snowfall, "I am... sorry...eve."

She touched her bloody arm and the red liquid stained her fingers as she looked at them in curiosity. "Azusa." He looked into her eyes as she continued softly, "Why do you call me Eve?"

"...because I met you on Christmas Eve."

"It isn't because of Adam and Eve?" He shook his head no and stared at her for what felt like an eternity, before she spoke again, "I wish the others were more like you. It seems they don't know what personal space is like you do. They all force me into situations I'm not comfortable with."

Azusa hummed out a sigh and he reached out and cut a loose strand of her hair that was bothering him for a while. It was a long piece of hair that stuck out near her bangs and seemed significantly longer than the rest, "...sorry."

A smile crept into her face and she began to walk away softly stating that it was okay and she wasn't bothered. She took one last look at him, then continued making her way into the manor.

Once she got inside, Kou grabbed her by the arm, "M-Neko-chan!" He looked at her bleeding arm, "You're bleeding. Did you ask for this?"

She shook her head no and he led her off to the kitchen where he took a paper towel and wet it. He proceeded to clean the wound, then found the first aid kit and bandaged her arm, tore the fabric in half with his teeth and tied it off.

"Don't scare me like that, M-Neko-chan. I thought someone did that on purpose."

"Sorry."

"You should be more careful."

She looked at the floor and sighed, remembering the beautiful moment she shared with Azusa. Her hand touched the bandages on her arm, shyly and she walked out of the kitchen. A tear stung her magenta eyes and she watched as Azusa continued tidying up the garden from the window. "Why can't they see you like I do?" Her hand touched the window gently and she breathed on the glass, creating a layer of foggy mist, before she drew a small heart in the window with an arrow stabbing through it. "You took my heart and stabbed it playfully, Azusa."
