A few hours had passed as noon came into play. Yuliy and (name) had just woken up and now ate together in the room as they conversed, "I kind of wanna go buy some candy" (name) said finishing her meal. The Sirius in front of her sighed at the half-vampire's childish comment, "don't you still have some candy from Shanghai?" Yuliy asked not showing his amusement with (name)'s pouting face. Getting up and going her bag, (name) pulled out a bag of candy she bought in Shanghai and other places; "I have some New Year candy from Shanghai, some caramel cubes from America, and some Polo Mints and Fizzy Cola Bottles from Britain- I'm running out of candy, Yuliy!" (Name) wailed out dramatically before stuffing a caramel cube into her mouth.

Yuliy bursted into a fit of laughter, "that's more than enough to last you a few months" if sleeping and waking up beside Yuliy didn't make (name) blush then his laugh did. It was so rare of Yuliy that this is the second time in four years that she's heard it; with her flushed face, (name) stomped her feet onto the floor and picked up both of their plates "you would never know! I'm going to take our plates downstairs!" She fumed before leaving the room.

Now by himself, Yuliy's bright eyes slightly dulled. Yes, he did rant to (name) about what he wanted to but there was something he didn't tell her about- the Ark of Sirius. More than likely, (name) didn't know about the Ark and Yuliy wanted to keep it that way for now; after all, it was the Ark that caused the death of his family. 

While waiting for (name) to come back, Yuliy decided to clean his staff of the dirt and dust that Agatha's body might've left. When Yuliy was wiping off the blade the door opened exposing Philip, "this part of the Imperial capital is rather silent, isn't it?" Philip asked trying to strike up a conversation; "you're right" Yuliy responded mindlessly. 

Feeling awkward, Philip decided to switch the topic to Saki, "Saki's relatives are going to take her in. I'm sure she'll be fine." The blonde announced to the older tee with a shrug. A flip in Yuliy's head as his mouth went off, "she won't be fine. Her father meant so much to her as if he was her only family." Philip's expression slumped understanding Yuliy's point of view. At first, Philip tried to reason with Yuliy saying how the Sirius made the right choice; just when the blonde turned to Yuliy about to say he would've done the same thing, Philip notices the soft expression on Yuliy's face. 

"You're not your usual self."

Yuliy bluntly stated making the fourteen-year-old stammer over his words as he stomped his way out. Once again, Yuliy was alone, "I wonder what's taking so long?" He asked looking out towards the window and beyond letting his mind drift. 

'Important... family.'

(Name)'s POV

After taking the dishes downstairs and not seeing the maid, I decided to go into the main lobby. There I crossed paths with Ryoko, "ah, Naoe-san, good evening" I greeted with a faint bow; when I looked up Ryoko had greeted me back "good evening, (name)-san. You can just call me Ryoko." Respectfully, I gave another bow and had accepted Ryoko's suggestion. 

Ryoko had accompanied me on my trip to the kitchen where the maids and butlers were discussing dinner for tonight. The visit was quick; all Ryoko and I did was greet the workers, placed the dishes on the table and left. Simple. 

"(Name)-chan!~"

Sudden shivers went up my spine at the voice. Turning around, I saw it was Dorthea ut there was something different about her... she was holding books. "Hello there, Dorthea-san" Ryoko greeted with a polite bow not noticing the woman's change in aura. Dorthea had greeted Ryoko before turning to me, "(name). Since we're in Japan and you've had a two moth reak ad we're not doing any missions at the moment, it's the perfect opportunity to... START YOUR STUDIES!" Dorthea cheered as she introduced the pile of books in her arms.

My blood ran cold. I was frozen and numb.

GO!

I pivoted on my heel and sprinted off as if my life depended on it- and at this point it did. I ran as fast as my injured body could go while I mentally navigated the twists and turns of the halls of the building. Behind me, I heard my name being called out by none other than the demon of an instructor, "(name)-chan!~" Dorthea called out once again. 

The moment Dorthea adds -chan to my name is the moment that I must mentally and physically prepare my self to run for my soul. While running my way to the outside I heard the calling of Ryoko. I couldn't process it due to the wind in my ears but I believe she was calling out either my name or asking what the hell was going on. 

Seeing Fallon made me a little bit less tense, 'maybe he can hide me'  I thought to myself, rather proud. Slowing down my sprinting pace, I raised my hand together Fallon's attention and for some reason, he seemed to be warning me. Mouthing words I couldn't read, I made my way closer until I finally understood what he was trying to say; 'don't come! She's behind me!'  

Too late.

Dorthea had caught me in her arms using her body weight to push me down onto the ground. Because I haven't completely healed, she had the upper hand. Damn. 

So here I sat, in the dojo that Ryoko trained swordsmanship in with a stool in front of me that acted as my desk while nothing but books in front of me. Never before had I felt so weak. I. Hate. Studying. 

"I hope you finish all of this, (name); because you're slightly falling behind on your studies. I'll check on you later, ciao!~"

I pouted; 'you have to be kidding me'  whatever hopes I had of lazying around were disintegrated away by the wave of books that puddled around me. With an agonizing expression, I picked up a book, getting to work. If I want to leave this room before dawn, I better work hard. 

{{TIME SKIP AND NO ONE'S POV}}

Night time had rolled around and Yuliy had just gotten done having a mini-breakdown in front of Willard. Now walking out of the room and out to the flowers to clear his head; memories began to flood his mind. Just thinking about the past made his chest ache tot he point where he wanted someone to hug him- he needed someone to hold him. 'Where's (name) when I need her the most?'  Yuliy urged to himself. With his thoughts and memories beginning to overwhelm him, Yuliy leaned forward, placing his hands on his knees taking sharps breaths. 

Cold sweat began to slowly drip down Yuliy's face while his body became not his own. His blood felt hot and his body felt cold; the air around Yuliy became to wrap around his neck like a rope. 

"Yuliy!" 

Hearing his name being called out while in his frantic state, Yuliy's first reaction was to shout, "get away!" Causing Ryoko to jump at the sudden outburst. Extracting up the small amount of courage she held, Ryoko walked up to the panting teen who swiftly turned around and grabbed her shoulders roughly; "you're not afraid?" Yuliy challenged with his sapphire eyes glowing along the moonlight. 

When the brunette replied with a determined "no" Yuliy felt his senses gradually come back. He didn't feel like sunshine and rainbows but he did feel a bit better; "sorry" Yuliy apologized feeling guilty. Ryoko had told Yuliy it was okay before a cold wind flashed by making Yuliy clutch his shirt as he clenched his teeth. 

Hearing Ryoko giggling made Yuliy feel embarrassed showing himself vulnerable in front of someone he's hardly known for a week, "it gets too cold in this country too suddenly" Yuliy defended. Afterward, Ryoko had informed him of when she tried to go visit him but ended up seeing him fight. 

In a flash, Yuliy's aura became dark, cold, and distant; "you saw me? Then you should know well to stay away from me- I'm a Jaeger," the Sirius said as he placed his hands in his pockets and shuffled away. 

Walking past the dojo, Yuliy heard the sound of the sound of papers... crumbling? Feeling curious, Yuliy made his way to the dojo, opening the door exhibiting a familiar (h/c)nette resting her head on, what seemed to be, a pile of paper. Yuliy walked closer to the resting figure as the moonlight shined its way through the windows of the wooden building; "(name)?" Yuliy called out only to get a hum as a reply, "Dorthea, I'm not done yet. Just a few more hours, I only have two more books to do." (Name) mumbled. Was she half asleep?

Chuckling, Yuliy bent down to his knees to shake (name)'s shoulder, "(name), let's go to bed" he said as he continuously shook the resting one's shoulder until her (e/c) and red eyes fluttered open. The sound of Yuliy's voice and the familiar scent of him made (name) pick up her aching head to see if she was just imagining things. Upon seeing her comrade, the girl slowly sat up as her pencil and a paper stuck to her face before falling. 

Giving another soft chuckle, Yuliy looked at the work that laid in front of (name), "Dorthea made you study again?" He asked, (name) nodded her head in response, too tired to speak. (Name) rubbed her tired eyes "you can go to the room first, I need to finish this first," mumbled (name) whose head bounced as she tried to keep herself awake. With a sigh, Yuliy scooped (name) into his arms securing her in a bridal style position. 

As much as (name) would've liked to protest, she deemed too tired to even try to fight back. Accepting her fate, (name) let herself get carried in the warm arms of Yuliy- that was before she remembered the books and papers that laid in the dojo, "wait, Yuliy. The papers-" "-we can get those tomorrow" Yuliy interrupted with a soft gaze. 

When the two had gotten to the room, Yuliy glanced down at (name) who held onto his shirt; "my bed?" Yuliy questioned the half-asleep teen that seemed to have gotten comfortable in his arms. "Yours" (name) clarified quietly, not wanting to waste too much energy on such an easy decision. 

The Sirius nodded, trailing his way to his bed, setting (name) down before taking off her shoes and then his own. Climbing into the bed, Yuliy felt (name) hugging him- her warmth traveled their way from Yuliy's waist to his face. That's right, our boi is blushing a baby blush. Pushing down the blush, the seventeen-year-old closed his eyes letting himself drift into the vastness of his dreamland.
