" Your family seems very nice Chiyo-chan." Yamazaki mused as they were settling down for bed.

Chiyo had finally managed to Yamazaki to call her by her first name. It wasn't easy but it felt much more relaxed when he said her first name.

She laughed and replied," Thank you Yama-kun. They are a handful but they are so happy and warm."

" Indeed." he chuckled.

Suddenly Yamazaki started looking at her intensely. The mood seemed to have completely changed between them. His normally calm purple eyes seemed to have some sort of strange gleam to them. She was so ensnared in his gaze that she didn't even notice him move close to her. Chiyo's thoughts were broken when she felt a pair of cold slender fingers gently grab her chin.

" Y-Yama-Yamazaki wh-what are you doing?"

His face was barely inches away from hers as he whispered to her," Chiyo I don't know what's happening to me but when I see you sometimes I feel this strange burning in my heart. My head then tells me that I want you all to myself. Tell me...do you ever feel this way too?"

She blushed immediately and suddenly she felt unable to even open her mouth to talk or breathe. His face kept on getting closer and closer.

Her thoughts were raging," Oh god I think he's going to kiss me! What do I do?! Do I stop hi-"

" Yakamura-kun I was wondering if you would like to take a wal-"

Everything seemed to stop as Saitou walked in the room with obvious shock on his face

A rapid blush spread across his face as he nearly stumbled. Honestly his face looked priceless and she wished that there was a way to capture it forever. He always had such a stoic face that even shock was a "shock" to Chiyo.

Very unlike him he stammered," I-I apologize I seemed to have walked in on something. If you'll excuse me I-I'll be on my w-"

" Wait Saitou-san I'll take a walk too. I think I need some fresh air actually." Chiyo immediately scurried to the door without looking back at the brown haired man whose stare she could feel burning holes into her back.

Chiyo slid the tatami doors shut with a deep sigh. Her face had felt so hot and burned with a vengeance just a few moments to her. The cool night air immediately kissed her face and soothed it with a cool prickling sensation.

" Are you ready to go?"

Even though it was dark outside she could see his glowing purple eyes. She nodded and they left. None of them said a word and a slightly uncomfortable silence hung between him as they walked side by side. The stars twinkled above them like glowing specks of powdered sugar in the dark vast sky. Yearning to even her his usual grunt when anything was said to him she said," The night is so pleasant tonight. It's an especial treat since the stars are so pretty tonight."

He didn't grunt or say a word so she continued," The moon is also so white and pure tonight. When I was younger Chizuru's father Koudou-dono told me a story. In ancient China there were these two immortals. One was a goddess and the other was a god. They both fell in love and they wanted to get married but the lord of all the immortal people said no. In the end they eloped but were quickly captured. Their only punishment was that they both had to live ins separate bridges surrounded by a thick fog so they could not see each other and the bridges only connected once in a lunar year. People believe that when the moon glows as brightly as this, it means that the god cleared ever so slightly that the couple can see each other and they feel more complete. Isn't it such a beautiful and romantic story?"

Again he said nothing and didn't make a sound. Finally she asked," Saitou..do you have any special woman in your life? It can be a lover, a sister, mother, aunt, or relative?"

She was nearly expecting nothing when he said," I have none. My mother died when she gave birth to my sister. Then my sister later died because she got typhoid and she never made it. I only grew up with my father and I rarely saw my extended family."

Saitou was surprised at the question. Nobody really asked him about his past so this was a huge surprize. Without even thinking he blurted," What about you...do you have a special man in your life?"

" No I don't. The most I have are friends like you." she said with a happy smile.

Suddenly Saito felt a tight feeling in his abdomen as he remembered what had happened as he walked into Chiyo's room. " I thought you and Yamaki-" he immediately stopped as he realized what was about to flow from his mouth.

Suddenly Chiyo stopped walking and was staring at her sandals. She muttered something.

" What did you say?"

Chiyo looked up and straight into his eyes with a fierce blush on her face. " When you walked in… I didn't know what was happening. Everything was so sudden I-I…"

" But, do you have feelings for him?"

" To be honest I'm not so sure. I think a part of me was happy but majority was really confused and I don't know how to describe it."

Saito sighed and said," I think you need some time to think about it. Remember that you can always talk to me if you need to."

Suddenly a small cold hand slipped around his and squeezed his larger one gently. Chiyo had a big smile on her face as she whispered," Thank you Saito...thank you."
