Yuki's jaw nearly dropped off as she stared at the guy before her. It was the same guy from yesterday night. Though she couldn't see his face, she recognised his hair style. Anger burned inside Yuki's body. Unable to hold back, she grabbed a glass of water from the nearby table. Water splattered across the carpet, as the glass dropped onto the floor with a soft thud.

"AHH, Yuki, what are you doing?" Kaien asked shocked.

The guy holding onto Yuki's wrist gave a small smirk, "don't worry, she's just saying hello to me, right?"

Yuki wrenched her wrist away from his grasp, "don't be so high of yourself, JERK!"

Kaien's eyebrows twitched as he hit Yuki on the head. He coughed, "will you be more polite?"

Yuki glared at her father, "to anyone but this JERK!"

The guy stared at Yuki, his expression, irritated, "hey you, my to be future wife."

"WHAT? AND I'M NOT YOUR FUTURE WIFE!"

He took a step closer to Yuki, "Don't call me Jerk, I've a name, remember it...Zero Kiryuu!"

Kaien ran to greet his friend, Toga Yagari, in utter excitement. "It's been so long, how've you been?"

Yagari held a hand at arm's length to stop Kaien from hugging him, "never better, I've see you've got quite a arrogant daughter."

Kaien gave Yuki a death glare for the first time in his life, "That reminds me, have you and Kiryuu-kun met before, with that drastic reaction of yours."

Yuki gulped, "y-you could say that..."

"Yeah, I kissed her," Zero added with a sly expression.

Kaien's eyes gleamed with twinkling stars, "really...what else happened?"

Zero stared at a excited Kaien blankly, "what else would you have wanted to happen?"

"Well, there's a lot, like after holding hands, there'd be a hug, then a kiss, then S..."

Zero laughed out loud, seeing Yuki hit Kaien across the head with her handbag. "Your such a strange father."

Yagari shook his head, "he's always been like this."

Yuki slammed her bag back on the table, taking her seat again, "I don't get it, are you two related?"

Zero raised an eyebrow, "your interested in me?"

Yuki stuck her tongue out, "not a chance."

Yagari smiled, "I'm just Zero's uncle, kind of looking after him since his parents aren't around anymore, it was..."

"Yeah, it a shame, how it happened," Kaien finished.

Yuki smiled, "it's in the past right, so don't worry about it anymore."

Kaien smiled and patted Yuki's head. Zero silently watched Yuki smile, his heart skipped a beat. 'That smile made me feel warm...how strange?'

Yuki placed her spoon onto the plate then quickly gulped the remains of her drink. Sher swiftly stood up and looked at Zero with a casual smirk, "It was nice to meet you, Mr Yagari and Jer...my bad, I mean Kiryuu, but I've decided to withdraw this engagement, so hopefully we'll never meet again."

Dropping cake from his mouth, Kaien stood up, flustered, "Yuki, wh-what did you just say?"

"Clearly, I won't marry," Yuki repeated pointing at Zero, "to that guy."

Kaien's jaw dropped off. Yagari smiled, "what a change of events, but I'm sorry, Yuki, this engagement will go on."

"What?"

Kaien slowly edged away from Yuki, "You see, I'm in debt to the Kiryuu family, so this marriage was planned to hopefully fix things. What I'm saying is, we can't cancel it, the decision's with Zero-kun."

Yuki stared at a smiling Zero, "I've decided to not cancel, no girl's resisted me till now, so...it's interesting."

Hearing that, Kaien jumped in the air, giving Yagari a high-five, as Yuki dropped to the floor in agony. "Yagari, his is great."

"Yeah, but they don't seem to get along too well, they'll need time to know eachother," Yagari said in a businesslike tone.

With a evil face, Kaien ran to grab Yuki, he stared into her eyes with a hopeful look, "Yuki, I've dedided, you can live with Zero..."

Yagari flinched as Kaien was sent flying across the restaurant. People turned to stare at the sight, speechless.

"NO WAY," Yuki shouted, "I'm leaving, no matter what..."

Yuki's handbag dropped onto the floor. She felt an electric shock flow through her at Zero's sudden touch, he was half hugging her from the back. She felt her body shiver as he whispered into her ears, "your father's in debt to my family, run away and I'll make sure he has no happiness in his upcoming life."

Yuki twitched, "what do you want?"

Zero smiled, his warm breath tickling Yuki's ear, "I'll make you a deal, live with me for 3 months and I'll give you the privilege to cancel our engagement, as well as forgetting your father's debt...what do you think, Yuki Cross?"
