Diabolik Lovers: Merging Eclipse Chapter 7

.:Chapter Seven : The Concealment:.

Looking down at her frozen stiff in surprise as she stood upon the stairs, Yui could hardly believe it! Her friend was there, standing inside the Sakamaki's mansion before her very eyes!
Miya though herself seeing Yui look at her so dumbstruck laughed as she told her, “Spooked you that much did I?”
However reacting rapidly at these words, Yui's shock left her as she realised that it was not good that her friend was there. For if the Sakamaki's brothers found her, who'd know what could happen?! Quickly coming down the stairs she asked her hurriedly,”Miya-chan? Why are you here!? How did you-”
Then immediately the urgent blonde haired girl was stopped in her tracks as suddenly, Miya had slapped her hands together like she was in prayer. That done with a bow of her head she spoke loudly in apology, squeezing her eyes shut, “I'm really sorry!”
Caught off guard by this action Yui was quiet for a moment, however confused she asked her gently, “Huh? What? Why're you apologising, Miya-chan?”
Keeping her head lowered and her hands in prayer as her eyes remained shut, Miya then went on to explain, “I'm sorry for suddenly intruding upon you like this Yui-ko, but I've got no-one else to turn to! I've been left in a dire situation and I really need something!”
Wondering what that could possibly be, Yui then asked cautiously, “...What's that?”
Hearing her ask, it was then that Miya looked up over her hands with an ultra serious look in her blue and green eyes as she said a single word, “FOOD!”
There was then an awkward silence that hung in the air, it was so quiet in that space one could have even have heard a pin drop onto the floor. Yui looking on blankly perplexed as she was expecting something a little more...incredible, then she repeated to make sure she'd heard that correctly, “Huh? Food?”
Miya replied immediately, “Yeah!” With that she went to explain with an annoyed tone as she finally pulled her hands apart, “You see it's my mom! She's gone on a business trip for the week and she promised me she'd do the food shopping before she went! But when I got home, the kitchen was totally empty! Knowing her I bet she took the whole lot with her in the car!”
Then growling her fingers clawed up and it looked like she wanted to tear the wallpaper off the walls as she continued, “That idiotic woman! She's left me with utterly nothing! I can't contact her or get online, I don't even have any money in my account right now and, URRRGHHH!”
Seeing her get so mad put Yui a little on edge, however she had to admit to herself even she'd be angered if she was left in that situation. But staying quiet she let Miya go on as she told her further, “So I've been left hanging like this... even my aunt isn't around to help and... well, “then she looked to Yui with a really apologetic gaze as she told her, “I haven't got anyone else to turn to Yui-ko! You're my last hope right now!” With that she clapped her hands together again as she told her once more, “And again I am really sorry about this!”
After hearing her explanation, Yui was quiet for a moment. However seeing her bow in prayer like that again, the blonde haired girl then told her gently, “Oh no... um? You don't have to apologise like that Miya-chan...but?”
Hearing her say this, the orange haired girl looked up to Yui as she repeated curious, “But?”
Yui then told her feeling very uncertain, “...I'm not sure if I can help you, I mean the food in this mansion doesn't really belong to me, so-”
Miya though quickly interrupted her, “Yeah I understand that! I mean I'm not asking for huge amounts! I mean just a bag of rice and a few cans or something would be enough! Plus whatever I take, I'll make sure to get the money from my mom to pay you back! So...” then looking terribly desperate she pleaded with her friend, “Please Yui-ko! I really need this! Or I'll starve...please!”
Seeing that sad desperate look in Miya's eyes, made Yui's heart sway and in seconds whatever  resistance she had completely waned. Despite knowing the dangerous consequences that might come, she lowered her head as she told her friend in defeat, “Okay... I'll do it, I'll let you have something Miya-chan.”
Immediately hearing this, a look of utter relief came to Miya's face as she brightened up with a huge smile as she asked her, “Really!? You'll let me?”
To which simply in reply, Yui with her head still lowered nodded. Then suddenly all at once she felt something on her hands, looking up startled she saw Miya had grasped them in her own ones as she told her shaking them up and down gratefully with happiness, “Thank you, Yui-ko! Thank you so much! You have no idea how much of a help this is to me!”
Feeling the warmth of her hands on her own, Yui was quiet for a moment but quickly seeing Miya's  relieved smile she forgot about her doubts and fear for an instant as she smiled herself. A little bashful she told her, “Oh no... it's nothing really, Miya-chan.”
Seeing her become modest like this again, Miya herself simply continued to smile on pleased. Then releasing her hands from around Yui's, the heterochromia eyed girl followed her friend as she led her towards where the kitchen was located.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX    

Having made it inside the cooking space, the two girls were busy getting a few things from the fridge and the cupboards. Picking up a small loaf of bread, Yui turned to her friend as she asked her, “Will this be okay, Miya-chan?”
Hearing her ask, the orange haired girl turned and seeing it she nodded and said, “Yeah that should be fine!” With that said she walked back across and placed a couple of tin cans in her opened black bag. As she did this, she looked over the other food items she had placed in it. After a moment she decided, “Hmm? I think I got enough in here now.”
Then looking herself, Yui was relieved to know this as she told her, “That's good,” with that said she quickly remembered the little bit of bread that was in her hands and gazing at it she said, “Here, now it really is done!” With that she put the item in her friend's bag.
Nodding at this statement Miya quickly agreed as she told her, “Yep! It is...oh! What a relief!” She said as she sighed, putting a hand to her chest as she felt the anxious pulses of her heart flow away.
Yui hearing her friend say this giggled a little at her reaction, however she then noticed something long and wooden poking out from the side of black bag, that she missed before. Seeing it, she asked curiously, “Miya-chan? What's that there?”
“Hmm?” Hearing her say this, Miya was confused. However turning to look in the direction her friend was looking at. Then she saw what had caught her eye and said, “Oh, this?” With that she removed the item from her bag and revealed what it was, “This is my Kendo Shinai Sword.”
Surprised to hear this, Yui repeated as her eyes widened slightly, “A Kendo sword?”
Nodding Miya then explained, “Yeah! You see on a few days after school I practise a few forms of martial arts, my main three are Kendo, Jujitsu and Karate.”
Amazed to hear this, Yui said in awe, “Wow... that's a lot of activities you practise in, it's no wonder then you're so strong Miya-chan!”
Scratching the back of her head with her free hand, becoming a little red and bashful herself at this comment. The heterochromia eyed girl replied as she placed the wooden sword back in her bag, “Nah, I'm not really... but well yeah, I do practise a lot, I'm just lucky there are night classes in this city... I need those lessons to help keep It under control.”
Hearing Miya put emphasis on that one particular word. Yui wondered what she meant by It? As her curiosity came she was about to ask, when-

“HAAA!!! HOW BORING!!!”

Gasping immediately Yui recognised that voice as she along with Miya heard a series of footsteps coming their way from behind.
Miya though herself recognising the voice uttered annoyed, “Hmph! Looks like it's that bratty idiot again!” Then hearing the footsteps she asked curious,” Were those guys all out?”
Yui though knew quickly there was no time to hesitate! She couldn't let the brothers see them both there! Grabbing her friend's hand hurriedly she told her, “Miya-chan quickly!”
Instantly surprised and baffled at this sudden grab, the orange haired girl started to ask, “Huh?! Wha-”
Then giving her no chance to protest, Yui quickly ran forwards and away from the footsteps as she dragged her friend behind her. Miya was struggling to keep up as well as hold onto her black bag with her free hand as she asked, “Hey! Whoa! Yui-ko!? What're-”
However there was no time for the perplexed, surprised girl to finish. As suddenly she was pulled around a corner and dragged up the stairs by her blonde haired friend! Quickly making it to the top they rushed down the blue carpeted landing and the two of them came to a certain dark brown wooden door. Opening it immediately, Yui dragged Miya into the room on the other side of it and in another moment, releasing her she slammed the door shut behind her!
Breathing in and out hard as she leaned her back against it, she slid down as she spoke breathlessly trying to recover herself from the sudden rush of Adrenalin, “Ah! Ha! Thank... Thank goodness! Thank goodness...we made it...”
Miya still perplexed standing in her friend's room before her, didn't know at first what to think or what to say. However she finally recovered enough of her wits to realise something was wrong as she asked, “Yui-ko? Why did you rush us away like that? What's going on?”
Looking to her friend, Yui knew she couldn't reveal to her the full awful truth but she needed a sound explanation. Quickly she came up with one as she told her, “I'm sorry... Miya-chan, I didn't have a chance to tell you.”
Becoming confused the heterochromia eyed girl asked her creasing her eyebrows, “Tell me what?”
Yui then told her finally getting her thoughts and breath back, “I... I'm not allowed to bring visitors to the mansion without permission.”
Hearing this Miya asked her in disbelief, “Huh?”
Seeing her look baffled Yui explained further, “You see Reiji-san, he's the one who enforces the rules of this house and... if he discovers I let you come in here without notice and about the food I've given to you... we'll both be in serious trouble!”
Not liking the sound of that, Miya though couldn't believe what she was hearing as she asked appalled, “What?! But... that's ridiculous! I mean, yeah I came without permission! But that's not your fault! Plus the food's needed for a good reason! I mean why be that strict when-”
“Shhh!” Quickly Yui silenced her protesting friend as she put a finger to her lips and told her whispering urgently,”Please Miya-chan! I agree with you! Just please don't make so much noise or-”

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Quickly spooked both of the girls became quiet as a stern cold voice spoke from the other side of the door, “Yui?”
Yui recognised that voice in an instant! It was Reiji! This was bad! If she said anything now to her friend, he'd know in seconds she was there! Looking to her, she had a desperate anxious expression on her face as she didn't know what to do?!
Miya seeing the terrible situation that she'd now got her and her friend stuck into, she knew she had to act quickly! Looking around she tried to think of what to do!? Then looking at one particular large item in the room. She had an idea!

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

“Yui? Are you awake?” Came the spectacled vampire's voice again and as it did. It was clear there was a slight air of impatience in it, which was making Yui feel a terrible dread in her bones as she looked up at the terrible imposing dark door. She didn't know what to do, or what to say at all!
However quickly she heard something else! Looking she saw Miya had rushed forwards and was now quickly lifting up the veiled frilled sheets of Yui's pink canopy bed and was moving herself underneath it! Seeing this she was amazed, however bursting through this little impressed bubble came Reiji's voice again more annoyed than before, “Komori Yui-san!”

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

Immediately it was then Yui finally replied, “Oh yes! Sorry Reiji-san! I'll be right with you!” As she said this she turned and looked behind to see that Miya was fully immersed underneath the sheets. The orange haired girl then gave her the thumbs up, to show that it was all okay and that she could open the door. With that done she covered up, camouflaging herself out of sight.
With this done, Yui could relax just a little more as she let out a little relieved sigh. However she knew she had to be on guard still and so gulping as though trying to swallow her nervousness, she finally opened the door. There standing and imposing himself over her smaller form was Reiji, who was staring down at her with his arms folded, it was clear he was not pleased at having been made to wait for so long.
Looking to him Yui felt terribly anxious as she saw his light red eyes peering down at her, quickly she tried to quell his annoyance as she told him, “I... I'm sorry for being tardy Reiji-san... I-”
However Reiji was clearly not in the mood for petty excuses and so told her, “Honestly...a servant like yourself making me wait like this, you have no shame whatsoever do you?”
Hearing the usual harshness of his voice, Yui simply bowed her head as she replied trying to remain positive, “Yes I know... I'm sorry.”
Miya herself though hearing Reiji say this underneath her pink frilly hiding place, thought to herself getting annoyed, 'Servant? Who does he think he is calling her that!?'
However unaware of these angered thoughts, Reiji then asked the dopey human before him, “Now what reason kept you from immediately responding to my beckoning?”
As he asked this, Yui once again had to use her wits and she responded with something that sounded feasible, “I... I was studying and fell asleep at my desk... I guess, I was more tired than I thought and that's why-”
At this statement Reiji sighed as he told her, “You really are hopeless! How do you expect to reach  the high standards of our family if you fail at your studies by becoming careless like this?”
Yui though could give him no answer and simply wrung her hands anxiously together, for she knew that if she said the wrong thing again. She'd be reprimanded severely.
Reiji though seeing her become quiet like this, still wasn't impressed and so he told her simply, “I would suggest if you don't wish to be such an eyesore, then be more diligent and alert from now on.”
To which in response Yui simply nodded as she replied, “Yes...I'll try, I'm sorry.” However Miya herself hearing this gripped her fist tightly as she thought to herself mad, 'What an utter jerk! What the hell's his problem?!'
Hearing her apologise like this didn't lighten Reiji's mood in the slightest, however he was at least a little satisfied with those words. But there was one other thing that needed addressing at that moment, which he began to as he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose with his gloved hand,“Now... the broken cup on the landing before the stairs, I'm assuming that's your misdeed correct?”
Blank for a moment as she heard this comment, Yui immediately remembered what she done and quickly she responded, “Oh! Oh, Yes! I'm so sorry Reiji-san! I'll go clean it up right now!”
With that Yui went to head out the door, however before she could make any great distance between herself and him. Reiji spoke out once more, “Wait one moment!”
Yui stopped immediately in her tracks and turning to look back at him worryingly, she heard him ask a question that made her heart pulse with fear, “Are you hiding something?”
Her heart palpitating with anxiety, Yui did her best to keep a straight face as she asked him, “Huh? What do you mean... Reiji-san?”
As she said those words, Reiji studied her face quietly as he tried to read her movements. Then after a moment he was feeling content that she truly knew nothing as her pink eyes looked at him with that usual fearful but curious innocent gaze. He decided to inform her with a cold look still in his eyes with his arms folded, “There's a presence in the house that has infiltrated inside and caused our familiars to become erratic, they've told us it's hiding within the premises of the mansion, “then sighing he said clearly irritated, “Though for some reason we're unable to locate it... it may be the cause of the new moon tonight.”  
Hearing this Yui repeated curiously, “A new moon?”
Reiji simply responded, “Correct, it's dulled our senses quite tremendously, however all intruders will be chased out regardless of the moon's phases... trespassing is something that will not be tolerated!” Then with a deadly intent in his eyes he informed her, “That presence will be found by us, that I will make sure of!”
Yui felt a chill go down her spine! She definitely couldn't let them find Miya now! She didn't want anything horrible happening to her! However trying to keep a straight face she responded with a slightly nervous tone, “Oh... I see.” Then she decided to ask feigning curiosity, “What kind of presence is it though, Reiji-san?”
The spectacled young man then responded, “It's none of your concern to know, “ however he decided to remind her, “Now are you going to make yourself useful and clean?”
Immediately remembering what she was supposed to do, Yui replied quickly,”Oh right! Yes of course!” With that she ran to go and clean the mess she'd made!
Watching her as she went, Reiji then stared after her with cold eyes still. However he uttered his thoughts again quietly, “She truly is utterly hopeless!” Saying that, he turned his eyes back to Yui's room for a moment. As his red eyes lingered over it's pretty décor he was silent, though after a few seconds he quietly took the knob of the door and pulled it, clicking it shut. With that done he then left and was on his way as he went to search the mansion for the mysterious presence.
Quiet for a few moments as she heard the silence around her, Miya then lifted the layered veils of Yui's bed. As she did she looked baffled as she asked aloud confused, “Familiars? What the heck are those?” For that was definitely something that was not normal to talk about...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  

Sighing as she'd finally cleaned up the mess she'd made upon the stairs, Yui walked slowly back to her room. She'd had to be careful when handling the shards of the broken cup to not cut herself and after removing those she'd had to get rid of the stains in the carpet... which she swore took forever.
“I'm just so glad to get that all done!” With that said, she finally made it to her bedroom door.
Standing before it, she looked around herself to make sure that none of the brothers were there. Then seeing she was totally alone, she moved her hand forwards and twisting the knob of the door she opened it. Making it inside she closed it quietly behind her, with that done she looked around her room and seeing it was still empty, she whispered aloud gently, “Miya-chan? It's me! It's okay for you to come out now!”
Saying that there was then nothing but silence that greeted her... quickly inside her heart pulsed once more with terrible dread and worry! For had she-?
“Phew! Thank God!” With that immediately in moments, from under the layers of pink frills, Miya came out from under her bed and pushed the delicate material away from her face. She smiled up to Yui as she told her with a grin and slight laugh, “Just what took you so long?!”
Feeling relief spread throughout her, Yui smiled pleased to see her friend was safe and well. As she came out, the blonde haired girl approached and told her apologetically, “I had to clean away a broken mug I dropped earlier... when you came in before, so-”
To which Miya said interrupting her as she finally got back up onto her feet, “So I caused you more trouble didn't I?”
Hearing this Yui didn't respond, she became quiet again as she looked down. For she didn't want to spread blame about, however Miya could tell that it was her fault instantly, “I knew it!” Saying that she sat herself upon the side of her friend's comfy pink bed as she told her, “I'm sorry, Yui-ko...”
At once though Yui told her quickly, “Oh no! It's not your fault Miya-chan! Please don't apologise! I mean it's not the first time I've been clumsy like that so... that kind of thing is nothing really.”
Miya though didn't agree and told her, “Yeah but I'm still causing trouble right now for you... I mean this is the one thing I wanted to avoid at all costs,” with that she became annoyed as she said aloud looking up to the ceiling, “Darn you mom! You're gonna get a right telling off when you get back!”
Yui hearing this simply smiled awkwardly and then walking forwards herself, she sat herself beside Miya on her bed. As she did, she looked to her quietly and as she did, she saw her friend to turn her and say, “Well... at least we're out of the fire now, huh?”
Hearing this question, Yui nodded simply and said, “Yeah... for the moment anyway.”
“Hmm...” Miya uttered, then looking up to the ceiling again there was another quiet moment between them both. However the orange haired girl decided to ask her, “So... what do you think we should do now? Do you want me to try and sneak out of here?”
As she asked this question, Yui became quiet. Putting a hand to her chin she thought to herself about this... then after a moment she came to a conclusion as she told her, “I don't know if that's such a good idea, Miya-chan... the others are hunting around right now for you. So you might get spotted.” Then turning her pink eyes to look at her, she added, “Also I don't know where the others all might be within the mansion... so I think that-”
“It's better to stay here for now?” Miya asked as she finished her sentence for her.
To which seeing her do this Yui simply nodded. As she did Miya sighed and said, “That's fine then, we'll just stick with that idea, I don't want to cause you more trouble than I already have.”
Hearing her say this, Yui looked to her friend as she was sad that she was now trapped in this situation because of her, “Miya-chan...”
Then becoming curious the heterochromia eyed girl looked to Yui as she decided to ask her, “By the way Yui-ko?” Puzzled the blonde haired girl stared at her as the question came, “What did that four eyes mean before, by Familiars? What was he talking about?”
At once Yui was on guard! Miya really didn't miss a beat! How was she going to get out of this one!? Quickly her mind raced as she once again tried to find a plausible explanation, “Uh? Um?... Well I... I don't know exactly, um?”
However seeing Miya's creased eyebrows she had to think of something there and now! Then immediately something came as she told her, “It, it might be um...? Some kind of magic practise, perhaps?”
Blinking her eyes sceptically as she heard this, Miya repeated, “Magic practise?”
Nodding Yui went on explaining while inside she was utterly flustered, “Yes um? Like some type of magical summon creature perhaps or... um?”
Miya seeing her struggle then asked perplexed, “What? So you're saying those guys are some kind of Occultists or something?”
Seeing that she'd come up with a surprising conclusion herself, all Yui could do was agree though rather awkwardly, “Um, yes?”
Quiet as she heard this Miya let this idea settle in her mind, then she said aloud as she looked to the ceiling again, “Well I guess that kind of makes sense... it would totally explain that weird gloominess they've all got!”
Inside Yui's racing heart quickly calmed down again as she avoided another near revealing of the truth. For she couldn't let her friend know anything at all, for then touching her right arm which continued to hold the painful red fang marks... she knew that her friend might be placed into the same danger she was in.
Miya though totally oblivious to this terrible threat, turned to Yui as she decided to ask her, “So... what do you think we should do now, Yui-ko?”
Breaking her out of her concerned thoughts, the blonde haired girl turned to her friend again as she  asked her, “Huh? Do?”
To which Miya nodded, as she did Yui was quiet for a moment herself... sadly though she had to admit, “Well... um? I don't know?... I mean we can't do too much right now otherwise the others will come and...”    
Seeing her look anxious Miya felt bad for it as she replied simply,“Okay....” But she wanted to get her mind off of the stress at that moment, so she asked her gently,”Well what were you doing before I got here then?”
At this question Yui then told her simply, “Um... well I'd made a hot chocolate for myself and before that I was simply studying, I managed to finish it all and-”
“Studying!?” Cutting her off Yui looked to Miya as she quickly looked horribly anxious herself! Looking at her the pink eyed girl heard her friend say, “Awww man! That's not good! I haven't even done mine for the night! And I got that handout to give in tomorrow! If I don't do it I'm gonna get so behind and AHHH-!”
Miya looked like she'd seen the face of death as she was clearly stressed like hell about it, looking pale like a ghost! Seeing her become like this, Yui couldn't help but smile at Miya's flustered state. Then quickly it came to her! Looking to the notes on her desk she turned to her friend as she asked her, “Miya-chan? Do you want me to help you finish your homework?”
Suddenly coming to a halt in her frenzied worries, Miya turned to Yui as she asked her shocked, “What?”
Seeing her look at her so perplexed, Yui simply smiled again as she asked her, “I can help you finish the homework! Since we're in the same class, I got all the relevant textbooks and materials and... that would give us something to do, if you'd like to?”
As this information sunk into her mind, Miya then asked absolutely astounded, “Really!? You'd help me do that!?”
To which simply in reply, Yui nodded happily as she told her, “Of course.”
At once feeling a wave of delight and relief wash over her, Miya then told, “Oh man! That's great! Yeah! Let's do that! I'm so totally up for that!”
Pleased to see that she was so ecstatic, Yui then told her, “Okay, I'll go and get my notes and textbooks!”
Nodding herself Miya then replied, “Alright! I'll go and get my stuff!” With that the orange haired girl pulled out her black bag and got her writing materials as Yui brought out the relevant studying material. With that the two of them discussed and wrote together as they worked on with a friendly, happy atmosphere as the study session proceeded...

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX  

Writing down the answer with fierce concentration, a voice spoke, “And... there it is!” With that the work was completed! “Yes! Finally... Ohh man! That is such a relief to get that all done!” Miya said aloud as she then stretched her arms out and collapsed onto the bed pleased.
Nodding Yui quickly agreed as she told her, “Yeah, that's how I always feel when I finish too!”
To which in reply looking at her Miya nodded too as she grinned, then she had to admit to her friend, “Yui-ko! Today you are totally my hero... I'd be in real trouble tomorrow if if it wasn't for you.”
Yui hearing this herself though told her honestly, “Oh no! It's no trouble at all Miya-chan!” Then seeing Miya's proud smiling face as she got back up and looked at the finished work that was now in her hands, she couldn't help but comment, “But you're really passionate about studying aren't you?”
Hearing her say this to her, Miya then put her papers away into her bag and as she did, she admitted to her, “Well... yeah I guess I am? But I've got a reason to be.”
Surprised to hear this Yui asked her, “A reason?”
Nodding Miya then told her friend brightly, “Yeah! You see my mom has promised me that if I do really well in my studies and not get in any trouble at school, then she said she'll get me a motorcycle when I graduate!”
Really amazed to hear this, Yui asked her with widened eyes, “What really!? Your Mom has promised you something like that!?”
As she asked her this, Miya grinned as she responded, “Yep! A real good one too! Which I plan on riding in the future... for the greatest road trip ever.” With that looking upwards she couldn't help but imagine the great sweet journey in the future she'd take on that marvellous motor...
Yui seeing Miya's faraway dreamy look, could only imagine what she must have been thinking about. However she simply smiled and said to her, “Well, I hope it'll be a good trip for you then at that time.”
Hearing her say this, Miya looked to her and continuing to smile she told her brightly, “Oh don't you worry! It will be!” With that she finished with a wink of her single green eye.
Seeing her do this, Yui smiled again as she let out a little giggle. However she became curious as she decided to ask her, “Oh? But Miya-chan?”
As she became curious her friend looked at her as she uttered, “Hmmm?”
Yui then continued, “Why would your mom say trouble? I mean, I haven't seen you do anything wrong at school, so why-?”
With that quickly the blonde haired girl noticed that her friend lost her smile as she looked down. A solemn expression was on her face as she gazed at the pink bed sheets, as she did this Yui became worried. Had she asked the wrong thing?
However before she could ask her anything about it, Miya told her a little sadly, “I'm afraid, that's something I can't really comment about... I'm sorry.”
Yui becoming really worried then told her, “Oh? No... don't apologise Miya-chan,” with that she told her further, “I'm sorry... I asked that without thinking... you're not-?”

GGGRRROOOWWWLLL...

Immediately as this loud gurgling noise came forth, Yui was silent in surprise while Miya quickly said baffled, “Heh?” Then quickly she blushed furiously red with embarrassment as she said, “Urrgghhh...oh man...!” With that she put her hands around her middle as she held herself tightly.
Yui then asked her curious, “Miya-chan?...Are you hungry?”
The orange haired girl simply wrapped her hands around herself a little more tightly. She was clearly too ashamed to admit it audibly as she only nodded.
Seeing her being awkward like this once more, Yui smiled kindly to her and in moments she decided on something. Getting up and off of her bed she started to walk forwards towards the door.
As she did this, Miya asked her puzzled, “Yui-ko?”
Hearing her as she spoke her name, the blonde haired girl turned to her and said brightly, “I'll go and make something for you to eat, Miya-chan.”
However as she said this, Miya quickly objected as she told her, “No wait! Yui-ko you don't have to do that for me! I mean I've got food here in my bag, so-”
“But that's for when you get home isn't it?” Yui kindly asked her as she interrupted. Miya was then made silent as she went on gently, “It's supposed to last you the week till your Mom comes back, so you should leave that be.”
Seeing Miya's astounded face, Yui continued on as she told her, “It's just a little something I'll make, so I won't be gone for too long, “however seeing the concerned look on her friend's face she told her further, “I'll be fine so don't worry...” Then just before she went to open the door she added, “ But while I'm out, could I ask you to hide under the bed again?”
Miya really surprised she was willing to go that far for her, so she simply nodded quietly with widened eyes and with that. Her kind friend smiled warmly at her before going through the door. As she left, the orange haired girl quickly went to go and do what she'd been asked to. However as she moved and lay herself still, under the frilly pink camouflaging layers again, she still couldn't believe it! How could Yui be so kind to her like this, after all this trouble she'd caused for her...?
