A/N:So sorry for the extra long time I took updating, but due to the holidays my life has become extremely chaotic. Also sorry to miniwoo for the mistakes in grammar, but it's one of my absolute weak points. I didn't really care to listen on that subject it was so BORING lol.

Chapter 8: Truths Out:

What was she doing, why was she here. She thought as she glanced at the house standing before her. She loved Ichiro and he loved her, so why was she here? Ever since her conversation with Tsukushi she had been walking for hours with no real direction, Now here she was standing in the pouring rain before Soujior's house with no idea how she had really gotten there. She watched as she saw a light in the house come one and the door suddenly open. She wanted to run,but she could not move, it was as though she had been rooted there. She looked up and that's when she saw him coming from the door towards her, Oh dear lord what am I doing her, she asked herself mentally.

It was her, she was really here standing outside his house. When his butler had come to telling him that there was Yuki standing outside in the rain, he did not want to believe him, but there she was standing outside of his house.

"Yu- Yuki-chan." he stammered out barely audible. "You've come back!" he stated as he pulled her into his arms.

"Is it true?" She asked in a small whisper, though he still managed to hear her.

"Is what true my love?" He asked while trying to pull her closer as she tried to free herself.

He still wasn't sure if he was dreaming, but he would take anything he could get and did not want to let her go. Just to have her here and hold her in his arms was enough for now. She still smelled exactly as he remembered of jasmine and lavender, how he had come to fantasize the smell when ever he dreamed of her. The dreams had begun when she left without saying a word to him, and had become much more frequent since her return. If this to was another dream he did not want to wake up from it.

"Anything, anything you want is true." Soujiro said his he put his lips to hers. The kiss started out with fierce passion and then quickly turned soft and sensual, as though he could not get enough of her. She felt perfect in his arms and her mouth fit perfectly with his. He never wanted this moment to end. She tasted of strawberries and chocolate, a perfect combination.

"I love you Yuki-chan. Ilove you so much!" He said as he came up for air.

So it was true the great playboy Nishikdo Soujiro was in love with her. How could this be she thought as she stared up into the eyes of the man who was holding her.

"Y-you Your in love with me." Yuki sttutered in confusion as she tried to escape his hold.

Soujiro began to realize that this was not a dream as she pushed away from him while moving out of his reach. What in the world was going on he thought to himself silently.

"How?" she asked "How can you love me!" she said accusingly. It was still raining as Yuki suddenly realized that she was crying, She still did not know why she was here, all she wanted was the truth. Three years ago she would have killed to hear the man before her tell her that he loved her, she wanted nothing more than his love for as long as she could remember. Though now everything was lost, it was to late to go back. It had taken her to long to go without thinking about this man every day, and now he stood before her confessing his love.

This sort of thing was not possible, she had to be in some kind of twisted dream. How dare he tell her he loved her. She had waited for two long years for him to tell this and now, now that she was engaged to someone else he had the nerve to tell her this. This had to be some kind of joke the world was playing on her, she could not believe it. Soujiro was and always be a playboy there was no way anyone would eve change that.

She had come to realize that, even though it had been to late because her heart was already attached to him. She realized that during their talks and dates when he had asked her to help him buy gifts for his other girlfriends. And she had realized that three years ago on his birthday when she walked into his room and saw him. It still hurt to remember, but that's what she used to try and get over him, with little success.

"I do Yuki-chan, I love you more than anything in this world. I love you more than my own life." Soujiro said as he tried to take her in his arms once again. The rain was now beating harder on them soaking them to the bone.

Yuki still in shock tried to register his words, still not being able to believe them.

"No no." was all she said. "You can't love me, this isn't possible. How can you love me now? Now that I'm engaged to someone else." she shouted out at him.

"Yuki-chan I'M SO SORRY." he said pulling her into his arms again. "I was an idiot not to realize it before, to let you go and not go after you. I was to late i should have realized it sooner but its true Yuki-chan I LOVE YOU." he stated as he placed his lips to hers once again.

What in the world was going on. The words she had been waiting a lifetime to hear had finally been spoken, yet she did not feel happy. In fact she felt anything but, as she could feel the tears running down her cheeks again. Instantly she pushed him away once again and then without even thinking she slapped him as hard as she could across the face, leaving a bright red hand print on his face.

"How dare you." she spat out. "How dare you tell me you love me and then kiss me, knowing that I am engaged to another man. Did you think that just because you finally realized that you loved me I would just run into your arms?" her words were like ice as she said them.

She didn't know exactly why she was so mad but she was. How could this man sit here and tell her he loved her. Did he think she was some kind of toy he could play with whenever he wanted. She loved him yes god knows she does, but there is no way in the world she would let him do to her now what he had before.

Soujiro stood there rubbing his hand across his now brightly red cheek. He was still surprised by Yuki's actions. Had he really done this to her, made her hate him so much that she would strike against him.

"Yuki-chan I'm sorry for all the pain that I have caused you." Soujiro said as he tried to bridge the gap between them. "I know that I am the stupidest man a live for not realizing it ealrier before you left, but I love you and I need you please give me a second chance. Please be with me and never leave my side again.

Yuki did not know what to say as she stared at him speechlessly. "Im sorry Soujiro but it's too late. was all Yuki could say as she turned around to walk away.

"Yuki please don't go" Soujiro yelled as he followed after her.

Ichiro sat in his hotel room replaying the conversation he had walked in on in his head. So he and Nishikado Soujiro where in love with the same woman. He had been the reason for which Yuki had left Japan coming to work for his bakery in America. How could Yuki not have told him this. there had to be a reason behind it and he wanted to know. He got up from where he was sitting and walked out of his hotel suite towards Yuki's.

He needed to know the answers to all his questions, needed to know if she really loved him as much as he did her. As he finally got to her door he tapped lightly waiting for her to open.

Though everything slipped his mind as she opened the door with dried tears still on her face. He immediately pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly.

"Yuki-chan is everything alright?" he asked franticaly "Are you OK?" he quickly looked her up and down inspecting her to make sure she was fine.

"I'm fine Ichiro-kun" was all Yuki could bring herself to say as she looked at the floor She couldn't look him in the eyes after the recent events that had just taken place, feeling ashamed.

As they walked into her suite Ichiro still could not let go of her as he sat down beside her.

"Yuki-chan there's something i need to know." he said calmly. "Are you still in love with Nishikado Soujiro?" Ichiro asked as he stood up and began pacing the floor.
