Disclaimer: I don't own FY… I told you that already… dontcha think I would've been all over the guys??(thinks of Tasuki, Nakago, Tamahome & Suboshi).
(The next morning)
Amaya woke up slowly, "Ahmmm…." Then she looked at her surroundings, clothes and a young man sleeping on a chair next to the bed. "What the hell? Where am I? What hap-"
She remembered: Men had attacked me on my walk… and they were trying to… until Kai-ka saved me. Wait, did he really save me? I don't remember anything except seeing him punch one of those men.
* * * * * * *
Meanwhile Amaya's servants and advisors went crazy without her.
"I hope she is alright!"
"Of course she is! She probably doesn't want to come back here so soon… You know her…"
They talked like this for another hour and finally gave up and decided that she didn't want to come back so soon.
She was that sort of person. She just didn't want to hang around her servants and advisors all the time. She loved to go out. Especially for walks. This was a part of her they all knew.
* * * * * * *
(An hour after Amaya woke up and she was still in the bed)
"Kai-ka, aren't you ever going to wake up?" She said in a nagging tone. She yawned. Last night drained all of her strength. Her body ached from being pushed around and falling.
"Amaya-san, you're up!" Kai-ka seemed happy.
"Yeah…" She paused for a moment, then began to speak again, "What happened? Did you save me?"
"Hai, are you feeling any better?" He blushed.
"Yeah, I guess so." She looked at her clothes. They were different from when she had gone out for a walk. "Umm..these clothes. What happened to my old ones?" She looked at him with a confused look.
"Your old clothes, they were… well, dirty and ripped, so I…" This was the moment he was dreading. "I changed them for you. I couldn't let you stay in those ruined ones." His whole face turned pink.
"Oh, I see…" She also blushed. "Thank you for taking care of me."
"No problem. I couldn't leave you there or not help." He smiled. This was going well. She didn't look like she was going to murder him for the clothes thing. "I'll get you something to eat and drink."
Before she could refuse he left.
How could he be so kind to me? She sat up and stared at the clothes he had put on her. He changed my clothes… That means- Her face turned pink. She tried to sit up a little better, but her bruised arm wouldn't let her sit up so easily.
"Ouch!!" Her arm had the worst bruises considering she had fallen hard on it.
"Are you alright?" Kai-ka had brought her some food and water.
"It's just my arm… It hurts a lot." She held her bandaged arm.
"Oh, you poor thing. I'm so sorry you are hurt. Just relax and lay back down." He picked up her glass and handed it to her. "Drink some."
After she drank and ate for a little while he asked, "Is your family or servants or advisors going to be worried?"
"Umm… Not really. My family isn't here and my servants and advisors… that's another story."
"So you can stay here with me until you get better?"
"Umm…"
"I just don't want you to go moving around with bruises like that." And maybe I'll figure out my feelings for you, while you are here with me… wait… I'll be with Amaya alone…
She smiled. "Ok, I'll stay. I thank you." She had enjoyed his company the first time they actually met… At night. "Is this alright with your family? I don't want to be a burdern." She looked down.
"My parents are going to be away for a while. They wouldn't mind anyway."
Alone with him? Whoah, this is all too sudden. I think he is cute and all, but…WAIT! WHAT DO I THINK IS GOING TO HAPPEN? I AM SUCH A PERVERT!!!!!!!! She thought.
"Do you like my flute?" Kai-ka grabbed his flute off the dresser.
"HAI!!" Her face lit up. "You can play so well!! Please play for me!"
"Of course I will. I'll sing too if you like."
"Hai!!" She remembered seeing him and listening to him that night.
(he plays the flute)

Then Kai-ka realized he had lulled her to sleep. It's good. She needs her rest in order to recover quickly. She looks so peaceful. He stroked her face and smoothed her hair. Kai-ka left food and water for her because he wanted to go out for another walk and get a few things. She's cute! She fell asleep so quickly. Poor thing, she had to go through-I'm glad I went for a walk last night or else she could've- Stop worrying. As long as she is fine now…
* * * * * * *
Amaya woke up from her nap, and slowly got out of bed. "Kai-ka! Kai-ka!" She searched the whole house for him. He must have gone out. As she headed back into her room (the one she was sleeping in) her wrist got stuck on something. "What the-?" She looked down at her wrist and saw a bracelet with a symbol on it. "How the- I don't remember putting that on before I left! Now that I think of it I don't remember seeing this bracelet ever!" Amaya stared at it. It's very pretty, but I can't remember where I've seen this symbol before. I don't remember what is means either. Oh, well… I'll figure it out later, or maybe ask Kai-ka… he might know about the bracelet or the symbol. She went back into her room.
* * * * * * *
(One hour later)
"Amaya-san! I'm back! Gomen, I had somethings to buy and do." Kai-ka walked into the room where Amaya was sitting on the bed. "How are your wounds?"
"Oh, I feel better, but arm still hurts." She held her bruised arm.
"Let me take a look at it."
She blushed as he grabbed her arm.
Jingle, Clatter. They both looked down at her wrist and looked at the bracelet. Then they both looked up at each other at the same exact time. Kai-ka blushed.
I wonder if she knows about the bracelet or the symbol on it.
"Kai-ka-san, do you… know… about… my… bracelet?" She had said that sentence as if someone squeezed it out of her.
Kai-ka did not want to tell her the truth just yet, but he did not want to lie. He stayed completely silent.
"Or do you know what the symbol means?" She peered into his eyes as if she were searching for answers.
"It means…" He began, but he was hesitant about the rest.
"Please tell me…" She looked up at him with such innocence.
"It means… love."
Author's note: Like it? Good!! Come back for the forth chappie!! Cliffhanger…… … I think I know why author's do cliffhangers… not because they want to keep the reader's attention, but they don't know what should happen themselves… WELL THAT'S MY PHILOSOPHY OF THE DAY!!! See ya!!
