Rei closed her eyes as Negi spoke, "I believe that would be because of Kyo." Okay so maybe she couldn't avoid the topic... "He...Satori seems to favor him the most despite how much she tries to hide it. He convinced her to let me out of 'the closet' as well..."

((err...Leiko I think...))

"Yesterday. A couple of hours." Rei replied, placing a hand on Negi's shoulder, "It's fine, Peng-san kept me company and Kyo got me out pretty quickly." No need to mention she'd been freaked by Kyo when he first walked into the closet. Not really wanting to trust the other boy.

Yukina smiled and looked up at him, wiping a single tear that had been threatening to fall. "Well with the curse lifted, I could but with this really sweet guy, who is like no one I've ever met. And when I see him, my heart breaks and then rebuilds, and when he talks, I get butterfly's in my stomach, And lately, He's always running through my mind." She said with a shy smile.

Kyo smiled and looked into Yukina's eyes. "He sounds like an okay guy... I should meet him sometime..." he said softly. He then smiled and his eyes flashed. "Well there's one girl... I only met her a few days ago... She's quiet... Amazingly beautiful... And whenever I'm around her... I never want to let her out of my sight... I always want to make her smile... And when we touch nothing else in the world matters." he said lovingly and smiled.

"Hmm..I think I'm a little Jealous of this mystery girl. I guess I was to late to get the guy again." She sighed looking down with a smirk, but she hid it and faked looking sad. She couldn't fake it much longer and burst out laughing. She reached up and kissed him again. "We should go back now, people might wonder what's up." She sighed.

Rei removed her hand and smiled sadly, "I believe we all know that but...we can't leave...not with the curse still hanging around us." She reached up and rubbed at the spot where she had been hit the day before, "And anyway, Satori-sama is just a scared little girl if you think about it. She was born then told she was going to die young, she's only doing what she can to cope. I won't make a fuss about it..."

Kyo kissed Yukina back happily and nodded. "Yeah we should..." he said softly and began walking with her again. "I think you'll be amazing at fighting... Just with a little practice and you'll have the basic pounch and kick in no time." he said smiling.

Yukina smiled and took his hand and walked with him. "You think so?" She asked looking up at him. "I'm not sure, I've never been in a fight before in my life." She said with a laugh.

Kyo chuckled and nodded. "Take it from someone who's been fighting their whole life. You'll do wonderfully." he said and smiled. "All you need is a patient teacher and patience yourself and you can do anything." he said and grinned.

"Hmm, well will i have a good teacher?" She asked with a smile. She really wasn't used to this. She suddenly found herself worrying if her hand was to sweaty or if he would get annoyed but it. She wanted to pull her hand away, but she liked how it felt holding his hand.

Kyo smiled and kissed her cheeks seeing her nerviousness. "Yes... I'm sure you'll do just fine... And I've helped sensei teach little three year olds... I'm pretty sure i have enough patience." he said and squeezed her hand. "And helping you learn how to fight means having more time together." he said softly.

"That's a plus." She sighed as he kissed her cheek. She smiled and pushed away the bad thoughts and tried to just think about the here and now. It worked and she was suddenly her cheerful self again. "So, when can we start?" She asked her voice sounding a little unnaturally happy.

Kyo smiled happy to see her face light up again. He always wanted to see her smile. "As soon as we get there." he said and grinned. "But I would suggest you put your hair back... It might get a little annoying when it gets in your face." he said softly and brushed a strand of her brown hair and tucked it behind her ear gently.

"Oh, okay." She said wiggling her hand out of his and pulling her hair back. she grabbed a hair bow off her wrist and wrapped it around the hair. "Better?" she asked as some still feel her face from the way her hair was cut. She laughed and tried to blow the hair out of her eyes while taking his hand again.

Kyo chuckled and smiled. "Yeah, better." he said and took her hand again. "So you haven't pounched anything at all before?" he asked trying to get a good ground on what she knew and didn't know.

"If it's the same thing as tackle someone, then no." She said with laugh. "Honestly, I can't say I've ever had the pleasure of jumping on someone." She added with another laugh. She loved how light she felt around Kyo, it was as if nothing could knock her down, but she felt as if something were about to make it's way through to ruin everything.

Kyo laughed with her and couldn't stop for awile. "No... I'm pretty sure that doesn't count.." he said regaining his composer. He loved being around Yukina. She just made the whole world light up and made him want to make her smile all the time. "So we'll start with the basics... Nothing to hard and if you pounch me then that means you're doing good." he said with another laugh.

"Do you actually want me to answer those questions...or are they rhetorical?" Rei whispered. She knew it all, what he asked for. Yet she was reluctant to answer, true, no one should have remembered, least of all someone who was born after the last head had died. But she knew. "That's true...but we can always mourn for what could have been..."

Yukina laughed and closed her eyes almost uncontrollably. "I'm pretty sure, I wont be able to pounce you." She said wiping a tear from her eye. She smiled and looked up at him lovingly. She hadn't laughed like this since she was a child, before she found out about her curse.

Kyo smiled and shook his head holding his side with his other hand. "Maybe you will... You never know." he said with a shrug. "Really fighting was my only get away.... But now I think I have another amazing calming remady..." he whispered snd kissed her hand smiling. He loved how her eyes seemed to sparkle inthe sun and her smile lit up his world.

"Is that so?" She asked with a coy little grin. She smiled as fire seemed to race under her skin starting at her hand where he kissed and hitting everywhere else. She smiled and kissed his cheek then kept walking.

Kyo smiled loving the electric sting on his cheek. It felt amazing. "Yes it is." he said with a wicked grin. He smiled and took her hand and pulled it lightly. He pulled her into his arms and smiled. "Theres no way I'm going to be able to stay away from you." he whispered softly, their faces inches apart.
