I was re-reading the first volume last night, and whn I got to this part the idea for a fic assaulted me and I had to write it, so here it is. Sorry if it sucks; it only took about a half hour to write, so it's short, and I didn't really proofread all that much. This is also my very first shot at using second-person, so tell me how I did. Please? Read and review please, you know the drill. Written form Yuka-rin's POV.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own V.B. Rose or any of the characters used. I do own volumes 1 through 7, though.

She's flamboyant and unpredictable – she'll be laughing one minute and crying the next, sitting quietly then raging. She's beautiful and strong and talented and just a smidge insecure, and you think she has great taste. She has pink hair – how often to you see that? – and she loves her sister more than anything else.

She's everything you ever wanted.

But you didn't know that then.

All you knew then was that she made amazing bags and she was (supposedly) close to her sister and she loved pretty things.

And you knew you had to save her.

You made her angry, insecure, something, and she was storming out. You weren't through with her, that was for sure, and you grabbed her arm.

You weren't expecting her to pull away.

You saw her fall into the mannequin, you saw her start to panic and shut down. Her eyes gave it away. You watched her fall for half a second.

And suddenly everything around you went black. All you saw was her and you were running faster than you ever had and reaching farther than you ever had and then she was in your arms, her head against your chest.

And it felt right.

You hadn't felt this way since you were with Kana, and even then it hadn't been nearly this strong.

But in that instant, you were whole.

And it scared you.

You covered it up by rushing to Mitsu's aid, but you were shaken and she was shaken and you know she felt it too.

Looking back, you realize how stupid you were to keep your feelings for her bottled up for so long.

You look at her now and realize: she's all you ever wanted, and she's all you'll ever want.

She's your Ageha.
