I don't own Alien Nine nor any of its characters, but atleast its great to hope you enjoy, I think I might write a christmas story.

I had contiuned blaming myself for everything that's happend so far to all of us, even if they told me not to blame myself I still feel inclined to protect Yuri. But it is getting late so we go to get Yuri and take her home, we have to help her get dressed though since she has amnesia and can't remeber how to dress herself.

Leaving the duty to who else but me, but I knew it was their way of making sure I stayed with Yuri instead of retreat like a scaried little kid. I loved Yuri with all my heart and being, the urge to be with her at all times had became a necessity and to protect her was indefinitely what I planned to do. It was just that small part of me that wanted to run and was afraid to fail , it was that part they knew might make me actually turn tail. Who wouldn't this all was too much even for me I felt like my breaking point was getting closer with each event and there had not been anytime so far to rest and take a breather from all of this.

As I helped Yuri into her clothes my thoughts occuppied me and I just automatically dressed her carefully, properlly, and correctly down to the last layer of clothing, strand of hair, and anything else that others would consider to be the work of an obsessive compulsive or better if I do say so which I do! Nothing was left astray for my Yuri, I even made sure her books were organized by order of period and placement, but unfortunately I just ended up being asked why we took so long if all I had to do was dress Yuri with the usual suggestive comment from Miyu and Kasumi.

If I wasn't so occupied with monolouging to myself for some reason about our situation I would have told those two to shut it, but fortunately for them I was literally lost in thought. It was sad at least to me that Yuri was like this because now I was alone again, my mom was still a pretty uncaring person or just thought I was old enough to handle whatever it was I was going through, so she was basically no help. Kasumi, she was a YellowKnife and didn't seem to express any kind of emotion besides that frustrating fake smile of hers, though it didn't mean I didn't care for them its just they really couldn't help me like Yuri could.

Me and Kasumi led Yuri back home to her mom and stayed to talk with her, though I was a bit uncomfortable since I was dating Yuri and we hadn't yet told her mom or dad about our... relationship. Though Yuri's mom was really nice and was a good conversationalist.

"Thank you very much for being so wonderful to my daughter she seems to be a little more happier... oh and please excuse me for rambling on, I forgot to ask your names!" Yuri's mom said embarassed by her own mistake.

"Uh... I'm Kumi and This is Kasumi, and there's really no need to thank us we just care about Yuri as ... her loyal friends... hehe"

"Oh so your that Kumi, Yuri has told me alot about you she really speaks highly of you, infact its kinda hard for her to say anything but good things about you. Its no wonder she considers you her best friend, ever since she joined that party she talked about you most of the time when I asked about her day."

"Well... Uh thanks, I consider Yuri my best friend too...Um." I was too embarassed to really speak, I never really realized how much Yuri admired me.

"She told me that she fainted the first day and when she woke up the advisor had said that you had taken care of her for the whole time till they could get the nurse at least."

"Uhm... I just wanted to make sure she was alright and I learned to take care of people when I was class president..." I lied knowing full well that I had lost track of time that day from staring at Yuri.

"Well thank you for taking good care of Yuri, she was so depressed at first and all of a sudden she seemed really happy."

I really felt embarassed, awkward, and unable to really speak for myself it was a crazy feeling I really wanted to tell her mom about us but I didn't know if now would be a good time considering that her daughter had amnesia, I was convinced if I told her this she would have a heart attack or something. I mean telling your friend's mom that you have been dating them is hard, but telling that mom that you being a girl are dating their daughter is even harder ,especially in japan.

I mean how do you even say that? Its times like this I wish Yuri wasn't a Amnesia paitent and instead was here to help me keep my composure, so I finally decided to leave that disscusion for later I'm sure she wouldn't mind. We said our goodbyes and headed back home with the hopes that tomorrow we would find Yuri's borg which contained her memory conveintly,I tried to go home and get to sleep as soon as I could but...

I couldn't really sleep even as I laid down and got as comfy as possible I still wouldn't fall asleep, I thought alot about Yuri and how much I missed her. I remebered that it had been a while since me and Yuri had actually came to terms with our feelings about 3 months, more or less, but for some reason I felt weird when I thought about Yuri. I knew I liked her in 'that way', But it was different this feeling felt like nothing I could describe. It felt sorta unnatural, yet so natural at the same.

I spent most of the night wondering what the feeling was, but I couldn't figure it out. But from what I could make out, I wanted to keep Yuri completely safe from everything and whatever it took was worth it just so long as its for her sake.

When morning finally came I found I hadn't sleeped a single hour the whole night, but I ignored my distant need for sleep to me it felt as if sleep and other things were dead last on my list of priorites especially now. So I got up and got ready to meet Kasumi at Yuri's to pick her up so we could get her memory back faster, it took me in what seem like no time to get over there even though it was a good fifty minutes from my place.

We greeted Yuri's mom and I preceded to help Yuri get ready for school , I found it boring so I let my mind wander and noticed how nice Yuri's room smelled. Even if it was just her scent that covered the room, it was quite enjoyable for me to have atleast something of the old non-amnesiac Yuri lingering around. It reminded me of the wonderful and horrible times that me and Yuri had endured so far, this was just another one to add to that list. Afterall , Amnesia or no Amnesia she was still the cute Yuri I fell for back then.

I took Yuri's hand and pulled her softly behind me as always leading her to school, where we met up with Miyu who Yuri hid from. "Are you sure she has Amnesia cause she doesn't seem to have problems with her girlfriend!" Miyu bluntly stated

"Cause I'm sure she can smell the evil fangirlness eminating from you." I retorted.

"What about Kasumi!"

"What about Kasumi! She's Kasumi, no one knows just what in the world is going through that girl's mind!"

Coincidently, Kasumi was at the moment thinking the following: OMG Kumi and Yuri Are So My OTP Without Question! I wonder what Kumi and Yuri have done together? Ooh the juicy details will be needed or I might just make a fanfiction of them! * Breaking the Fourth Wall Is So Possible When You Have A Yellow Knife! XD!* .

I turned back toward school and contuined Yuri in hand, though it took a little longer due to Yuri wanting to stop and stare at things multiple times. Today we're finally going to get Yuri's borg back and retrieve her memory, then everything would be normal again.

"Cellcom Check!"

"GPS Check!"

"Juntoku Knife Check!"

Me and Kasumi said in unison as we prepared to enter the Forest of Spaceships, I looked toward the forest and saw how imposing it was with many trees and ships everywhere as well as the police tape that didn't make me feel any better about this.

"Oh ! I had a question!"

"What is it, ?"

"What would happen if we can't get the borg back?"

"Then would remain a child for the rest of her life." she stated sternly.

I pondered this as me and Kasumi went into the forest and began searching for Yuri's borg, that statement made me really wonder where Yuri's happyness really would be assured: With me? or In staying in a everlasting infancy with complete ignorance and bliss? Which would she really rather have? or could it be both? I'm sure I could take care of her if she ended up like that for however long. No! I have to find that borg and get Yuri back to normal, then something reminded me that my borg could track Yuri's borg.

"Oh My Borg! We just wasted two hours looking for that borg when we could have just tracked it!" I said scolding myself for forgetting something so simple.

"Good Job Kumi! Are you sure Yuri isn't rubbing off on you?" Kasumi said as sarcastically as she could.

Then a surge of pain hit us, like a ton of bricks, we knew it was Yuri's borg a ran as fast as we could eventually getting to the borg in question and a ...friend. It was some kind of giant alien with the borg caught in its mouth ready to be crunched into little borg bits. "Whoa~" We said in a grimance of fear and horror, shooting as many drills as we could before it could attack and hoping it would be dead by the time we opened our eyes we had the borg, overkilled the giant, and been surrounded by more of its friends.

I could see that the borg was extremely close to dying and there was little time to get it back to Yuri, but the gang of giant aliens would have no person escaping. Which caused me surprise when Kasumi decided to take the whole thing single-handedly.

"I'll take care of these guys you just make a run for it Kumi, Your little girly toy needs that really fast." She said adding that bit of mean humor to lighten her insane decision.

"Kasumi that's crazy you can't handle all of these guys on your own, you'll be massacared if you do!"

"What? Trying to be cool and heroic for your girlfriend, Hah! You forget I'm an alien, too!" She replied before being grabbed at by multiple hands from those aliens.

I moved quickly out of the way as the giants fought for their next snack, they grabbed and pulled like children fighting over a single toy only it would end with a far more gruesome outcome for Kasumi if one got her. She swiftly sliced the giants' arms and fell with a small thud, but they apparently weren't going to let being armless stop them from having their meal as they jumped and crawled on eachother trying to eat Kasumi.

I backed away further and accidently into one giant who attempted to make me a meal too, but not before he got a mouthful of drills in the face and through the head before letting me go. I looked terrified and overwhelmed, "Kasumi!"

My answer was a single drill flying out of nowhere through one giant, then swiftly cutting in one quick motion through all the others. This followed by a barage of drills cutting open then area where Kasumi was, she climbed up and had a wild eyed crazed face complete with her signature wide grin. She looked ready to take on ten times the amount of aliens she just slaughtered, and I figured out why, her eyes were those of the Yellow Knife.

"Well, Well We meet again Drill, Trying to save your broken toy. You'd best hurry or else your toy might end up more then just broken." Said the Yellow Knife Kasumi in a cruel tone.

"She's not a toy and I will save her!" I said angrily back.

She just smiled and turned her attention to a new group of aliens who had the misfortune of being the Yellow Knife's next set of victims, I watched it literally leaped across the field pursuing every last alien in sight. I felt so confused what did that Yellow Knife mean? A sudden pinch hit my arm and grew harder, I turned and saw a huge claw grasping my arm.

I hit it with my Borg's dills but to no avail, it slowly began to twist my arm off, I suddenly saw dills come through the claw ... through where my arm was? But even this didn't stop it as it finally torn my entire arm off, and revealed a horrifying thing to me.

In place of where my arm previously was... instead a bundle of twisting and squirming borg drills, I stared simply too overwhelmed by this. That was finally my limit I couldn't take it anymore , this had been the final breaking point. I fell to my knees and held onto Yuri's borg as tightly as possible and brokedown, I could feel a river of tears flow down my cheeks as I sobbed loudly. It was all too much to bear just as me and Yuri finally had a chance at a happy life , What had it all been for? I would have to lie to Yuri just to keep our relationship together and now I was exactly the same as the very aliens on our heads, could this get any worse.

I apparently opened my mouth too soon as the worse did come and it was a humongous slithering worm alien with one heck of a mouth, I should really learn to keep my mouth shut. But there was little time to think as I ran as fast as I could carrying Yuri's borg with me, I tripped and fell taking a few strands of police tape down with me as I was a mere few feet from Yuri and Ms. Hisakawa. I tried crawling toward them still panicking from the beast that was still chasing me, I could see Yuri crying and Ms. Hisakawa ready to skewer the alien behind me.

Aparently Kasumi had gotten use to popping up at the last minute to save everyone, which considering she had a rival alien was extremely ironic. I got on my knees and contiuned crying where I had left off at the forest, I was so happy and so sad at the exact same time that I couldn't stop. But needed to talk to us "Now!", so we left Yuri to recover her memories in the infirmary, Miyu would later inform me that Yuri made a full recovery but her only concern was why she tasted cherries and mushrooms in her mouth? I blushed a dark crimson and muttered somethings under my breath, hoping Miyu would drop the question which she did for once.

I couldn't go home with one arm and a arm made of alien drills so I went to the only person I could go to at the moment, Kasumi. She was nice enough to allow me to stay at her house for awhile and lend me a night gown, which was just as frilly as everything else in her room. I layed on her bed and sighed to myself, "I'll never have a husband now."

"Kumi... aren't you gay? So you never would have gotten a husband! Much less sleep with one, I bet you'll just marry Yuri and have some `Fun` with her. She'll be your little girly play thing! Hehehe!Nya!" said Kasumi while making obscene gestures unnecessarily.

"Wha! Stop doing that! I could be intrested in both! I just like Yuri more...is all. And I Would Not Have `Fun` With Her!" I said then whispered "unless she wanted to..."

"Nya! I'm only teasing you, I'm sure You'll be fine. Yuri loves you I'm sure she'll stay with you no matter what," She reassured, I was one of those times were I admired how nice Kasumi could be," And if she tries to go I'm sure those drills have more than one use! Hahahhehe! Nya!" and that admirance turned to dust in less than a second.

I took some cake that Kasumi had made, it was really good and really helped at a time like this. It was then that I noticed atleast for a second how nice Kasumi looked, she looked really cute actually almost attractive. I quickly removed that thought from my head and concentrated on something else. "Hey Kasumi...Are you okay?"

"Yeah cause now I'm not alone anymore." She admitted.

I was glad to hear that she was okay atleast with that Yellow Knife in her, I was able to sleep well that night now that all the worrying and trouble was done with. Soon winter break would come and I could try to get closer to Yuri while sorting out the future, in the mean time I could atleast see her cute face at school. I kinda wish we had the same , but then I couldn't see her while on the job.

I woke up and yawned, I looked around and remebered I had stayed at Kasumi's so I wasn't in my house. I got ready for school and waited for Kasumi who took a hour to brush her hair, and we headed off to meet Yuri.

When we got there Yuri gave her usual good morning, and we greeted her back.

"Kumi, How's your right arm?" Yuri said in a concerned tone.

" said it should heal up real fast." I said trying to dispel her worry.

"Hey Kumi? You came a different way this morning didn't you?"

"I stayed over at Kasumi's"

"Ohhhh man... I wanted to stay over, too."

"Next time."

After being interviewed by me and Kasumi headed back to her house, I was really sad though I had a new arm it didn't mean I was human, it was just flesh over the drills like that really made very much difference.

"I hate this, no matter what I do I have to check it out with my borg first. Even to move my arm... This just isn't me. You may like this Kasumi...But I feel weird," I sadly said before drills lifted me up and tore small holes squirming about.

"I Have To Protect Yuri. I Don't Want Her To Feel The Way We Do. So I Need Your Help, Kasumi."

I hope this works...
