I awake with my head resting softly on Yuki's chest, I listen to his breathing, his heart, and the soft snores that escape his mouth. I press my hand to my own heart and listen, I listen closely to his heart as I feel my own and they beat the same time. The thought makes me tear up with love, it's amazing what love can do. I get up as silent as possible, shifting ever so gracefully, I exit his room. I'm cold now and I have a burning desire to pee.

I go to the bathroom and use it, I look over at the pink alarm clock that sits on the bathroom counter set there by me, I realize it's 6:30. They should be getting up now,

I check all the rooms and see Tohru is still asleep, so is Senpai, and then I get to Yuki's room. I enter it to find him getting dressed, he is only in his blue boxers and I stare at him as he stares at me.

"Oh Yuki your up" I rub my eyes, not minding that he is only in his underwear.

"I'm starting to find it hard to sleep without you there" he says quietly,

"Well I'm here now" I step closer to him and give me a short peck on the cheek, then he grabs my face gently and kisses me on the lips.

"Can you stay every night?" He asks,

"If that's what you want" I say quietly and kisses me again.

"Though im not sure that no one is going to notice" i laugh lightly, but I stop I need to know something.

"Yuki remember when you said that you wanted me to be yours forever?"

"Yeah" he looks curious now,

"Will you still love me when I'm no longer young and beautiful?" I ask afraid for the answer. He stands in silence for a moment, then he very slowly leans down and plants a kiss on my lips.

"You'll always be young and beautiful to me" He smiles and I smile and look up into his beautiful eyes. I'm so glad to here that. I knew I stole that line right out of a song but I needed to ask. He talked about marriage and I would at least need to know he would put up with me, through age and all. I'll have to sing that song for him someday, of coarse that won't be very pretty.

Finally I get to go back to school. I slip on my school dress and grab my little bag. I skip breakfast and tie my hair up so it's piled above my head. As me and Yuki walk hand in hand, I notice the little budding relationship between Senpai Kyo and Tohru. They just don't see it yet.

I pull out my phone and type in a reminder:
Mission get Tohru and Kyo to see their chemistry.
Set for 2:30 right after school.

I turn my head to see Yuki looking curiously at the screen, I look up at him with a big innocent smile. I tuck my phone away and carry on with my hand sweetly in Yuki's. What a beautiful day.

~Lunch~

"So you got beat up?" Haru says in a deep tone as he scoops rice into a small rice bowl, serving me and Momiji.
"Where have I heard that line before? Yes! Stop talking about it." I look at him with an angry face, but I guess I wasn't convincing because he didn't take me seriously.
"You should be more careful" He looks down at his food then takes a bite.
"You should mind your business" I say with a mouthful of rice,
"I wonder how Yuki took that...." He looks off into the distance.
"I wonder what Yuki is doing right now" I smirk thinking about Yuki sitting in a desk paying close attention but remains the cute look on his face. Oh Yuki what thoughts you bring to me, I wonder if he is thinking about me too. He has to, after last night, it was one of our most romantic moments, it was one of the times we have been that close. I grip the pendant around my neck, the smoothness soothes me and so does my thoughts. Pendant. Pendant. Pendant.
The pendent! Maybe this is the thing that keeps the curses away, I remember my aunt saying something about it.....

"Here" My auntie smiles down at me placing a necklace around me,
"For your 4th birthday" She smiles, I stare down at it,
"You know this necklace is special?" I hear my Uncle sit next to me, his Irish accent glistens and sounds wonderful to me.
"No" I can't believe anything as small and smooth as this is exceptional to any other necklace.
"Aye Brooklyn, it's keeps away the curses. The bad luck. But it holds your secrets, sins, happiness, sadness, and angry feelings all in the tiny little thing" He smiles big,
"All that in here?" I ask him,
"What are curses?" I say before he can answer.
"A curse is something you can be given or born with, usually it's means bad luck but sometimes- just sometimes a curse can be good." He looks into my eyes and I into his, filled with wonder.
"But this thing throws them away, it doesn't matter if your cursed or those around you. This will help you, so keep it safe and don't give it to anyone." He gets up and slices a piece of the birthday cake, and suddenly all the children laughing, screaming, and loudness fills my ears again.

He died not that long after, I guess it doesn't keep away all the bad luck.
"Brooklyn!" I hear Momiji yell,
"Mm, what?" I say realizing I spaced out.
"I kept saying your name.....what were you thinking of?" He asks,
"Are you tired, do you need to go home?" He sounds worried.
"Momiji I'm fine, I was just thinking about Yuki" I lie, i need to tell them later-
"Well if you're going to think about Yuki do it some other time, you see him everyday" Momiji laughs.
"I can't help it" I swoon at the thought of him now, I grip my chopsticks to the side of my face.

We finish lunch and I tough out the rest of the day. At the end I'm excited to see Yuki.
"Baaaabyyyy" I yell as I throw myself into Yuki giving him a big tight hug, and he returns it.
"Brooklyn" he smiles, and I frown,
"My name is babe or baby or something....you should give me a nickname" I frown crossing my arms.
"Alright babe" he says, the word sound weird from his mouth...but I like it.

As we walk home, and I'm sure everyone is out of sight, I brake the news-
"I think I might have an idea why the curse doesn't affect me." I blurt in the silence.
"Do you now?" Yuki asks, I nod. I slip the necklace off my neck and place it on Tohru's. This is a perfect way to get Kyo and Tohru closer.
"Hug him" I point to Kyo, Tohru looks more than happy but Kyo looks uncertain.

She leans toward him and gives him a big hug, I wait for the poof- but it never happens.
"W-what" Kyo breathes, and Tohru and him look happier.

Out of no where Yuki leans in and gives me a hug. But no poof. I'm not wearing the necklace. I know I'm a girl. So why is he not transforming.

"What- why aren't you transforming" Kyo looks very confused while Tohru is still attached to him. I can tell she isn't in it anymore.

"Another mystery" Yuki smiles, wow.
