Yumi looked up into the cold heartless eyes of the heavy set judge in front of her; she could feel terror and the slight hint of adrenaline seeping into her veins. The business suit she was wearing made her feel uncomfortable and was threatening to constrict the hot air out of her lungs. Nervous sweat dripped down her neck. Yumi was ready to do battle, not even thinking twice about getting her hands dirty in the process.

Yumi being herself had always been able to make people see things her way; she just hoped it would be that way with the intimidating jury that sat on both sides of her. Yumi nervously swatted at the hair sticking to the back of her damp neck.

"We call to the stand Mr. Ulrich Stern, inmate number 0079154." said Ralf, Ulrich's lawyer.

Yumi watched with tears threatening to fall over the bridge of her eyelids as Ulrich, clad in an orange prison outfit with handcuffs around both hands and ankles, walked past her to the stand next to the judge.

Mr. Merka, a heavy set judge of fifty-six, watched with piercing eyes as Ulrich too his seat in the small stand next to his own.

"Sir do you have anything to say in Mr. Stern's defense?" Mr. Merka asked Ralf.

Ralf merely nodded and stood up. He walked to the stand in which Ulrich was sitting in and leaned against it, looking more like he was at home, rather than at court.

"Mr. Stern, did you kill your ex wife Sissy in cold blood?" Ralf asked sarcastically.

Ulrich who wasn't taking the situation so lightly, answered coldly.

"No sir."

"Mr. Stern, will you please tell us all what exactly happened on that dark night two months ago?" Ralf asked.

Ulrich nodded and began his story.

"I had decided to leave Sissy after our marriage of fifteen years. I had grown tired of her antics and constant annoyance. I had loved Yumi in our younger years and we rediscovered our once extinct passion for each other. That night I had gone home to get a few things to spend the night at Yumi's for 

the night and when I told her I was leaving her, she snapped. She has knocked me out and bound and gagged me. After escaping I had merely locked her in a bathroom only using a chair to block the doorway. When I returned the next day to get all of my things, I was accompanied by Yumi. The next thing I knew, Sissy was holding Yumi back with a knife to her throat,"

Yumi gulped and put her hand to her throat, remembering that horrifying experience.

"I had told Sissy no, and she told me she was going to take everything away from me. The next thing I know she slits Yumi's throat, then stabs herself in the heart. I knew it was already too late for Sissy judging by where she was plunged the knife into herself. I was more concerned by Yumi, who I knew had a slight chance. I quickly got Yumi into the car and drove to the hospital. I never thought about Sissy's body until now. I had absolutely forgotten about her death after our neighbors had called me and told me that they had called an ambulance after discovering Sissy's body on our front lawn. I had figured they would have found the knife in her hands."

"Thank you Mr. Stern, I believe that is enough." Ralf said as he turned back towards Yumi, a smile on his face.

Before Ralf got back to the table although, he sharply turned and faced the judge again.

"Your honor I would like to call Yumi's doctor, Dr. Hunder to the stand please."

Mr. Merka nodded, "Continue."

From the large oak doors in the back of the courtroom came Yumi's doctor, Dr. Hunder. On his way to the stand he gave Yumi a smile and wink. Yumi smiled back and watched as Ulrich was taken from the stand by guards.

"Now Mr. Hunder, I would like to ask you to tell me what you experienced the night Ms. Ishiyama came to your hospital." Ralf asked Dr. Hunder.

"Certainly." Mr. Hunder said.

"Well I remember Yumi had been cut across the throat, only inches from one of her major veins. Mr. Stern had been very worried about the young miss. And he had told me exactly what he just explained. His ex wife had cut her across the throat, and the evidence was lying on my operating table. During the procedure we had almost lost Ms. Ishiyama. I remember Mr. Stern rushing to his fiancé's side immediately. Other then what I have just said, I also have documents and pictures of the young miss's throat from the operation."

Without hearing anymore, Mr. Merka nodded, "Case closed, it is apparent that this young man did nothing to harm young Elizabeth."

Air caught in Yumi's throat and her eyes quickly filled with tears. Across the room from her Ulrich eagerly waited for the guards to take his handcuffs off.

Once the handcuffs were off Ulrich smiled a large smile at Yumi and started to run to her.

"Yumi!" he shouted, his voice booming throughout the whole room.

"Ulrich!" Yumi's voice barely over a whisper as she tried to keep from letting her tears fall.

The couple ran towards each other and quickly met in the middle of the room in front of the judge's stand.

Ulrich pulled Yumi into his arms, threatening to crush her into his being. Ulrich bent his head and quickly kissed Yumi. His lips crushing hers in the most passionate kiss they had shared. Soon the kisses grew rapid and short.

"Yumi I've missed you so much, never leave me again!" Ulrich said, his voice heavy and cracking from his held back tears. "

Yumi, who's face was streaked with tears, held back from Ulrich's next kiss and looked Ulrich in the eyes, "I've missed you too Ulrich. I'll never leave again, ever."

Ulrich smiled and whipped Yumi's tears off her face, "Never."

The couple exchanged one more hug before they began to walk out of the courthouse, Ulrich's arm around Yumi's waist, and Yumi's around Ulrich's.

In the car Yumi let Ulrich drive since he hadn't had the freedom to for a while. Both sat in silence, holding hands.

Every once in a while they would look at each other and smile, or kiss while at stop lights.

Soon Yumi was leaning against Ulrich, fast asleep. Ulrich smiled and kissed the top of Yumi's hand, happy to be back where he belonged.

Soon the couple was back at home. Without waking her up, Ulrich gently picked Yumi up and out of the car, carrying her into the house and laying her on the bed.

Ulrich laid down next to Yumi and gently played with her hair. Ulrich smiled and kissed Yumi's forehead. Was it his imagination or did she smile?

"I love you, more then anything." Ulrich whispered as he held Yumi to himself and slowly drifted off.
