    " Yes, well they may seem like plain ol scares. But to me they're stories of your struggles you deal with." Yuu did have point with this.
    They've been plain scars to his golden eyes but to pure blues. They were battle stories from with in. " I'll go back to sleep in the corner. I'm sorry that I woke you up in this godly hour. You could say I was worried about you Mr. Jericho. "

    His golden gaze bores into her and his grip tightens on her wrist briefly.
    "Few have dared to touch me since I was young, even my parents refused to come anywhere near me. You are a brave person Yuu."
    He stands and pops his neck, watching the gash slowly close. He pulls Yuu gently to her feet, he stood far taller than her, her head barely reaching the middle of his chest. He'd found her when they were both fairly young and back then he hadn't been much taller than she was, but now he towered above her. It suddenly became obvious that they'd all but grown up together, they'd seen each other grow and age. Now both were adults, Jericho used to look slightly goofy with his pale white hair and golden eyes, undeveloped muscle and awkward proportions. Now the man was tall and strong, his hair suited him well and his eyes, while signs of his curse, were beautiful.

    She missed when they were the same height. But now he loomed over her like a hawk does when it catches it's pray.
    Gulping slightly, boring into his eyes though she wanted to pray her eyes away. But the blonde couldn't those eyes of his were beautiful, yet they held something, danger? No that wasn't it. They were just admirable.
    Yuu's breath hitched shifting her weight taring her glance from him. Her heart pounded like a war drum against her chest. She was so desperate to stop it .

    He pulls her close and embraces her. He had no idea why he did it, he normally hated to be touched. He didn't like getting close to anyone, but with Yuu it felt natural, she wasn't afraid of him in the way all others he knew were. His heart too, was pounding, and he was nervous, Jericho had never hugged anyone before not ever been hugged by anyone.

    Stiffing to the sudden hug, a small smile made its way on her lips. Lifting her arms hugging him back.
    His touch melted her heart he has never once touched anyone in years. But here he was hugging her despite that Yuu felt special. Burying her face into his chest. It was natural for her clinging on to him. The small blonde had always did that when they were kids. Always running behind him to his from people.

    After a while he relinquishes his hold on her and steps back. He watches her for a moment, almost leaning closer to her before visibly restraining himself and stepping away.
    "I'm sorry... I can't get your hopes high Yuu... I'm not safe to be so close to."

    Knitting her eyebrows in frustration. He was close but now Jericho was pushing her way. She wanted to scream at him don't be afraid! I know even with this demon in you! You'll never think of hurting me.
    struggling, pathetic, that's what she was a pathetic girl who couldn't speak. Well not tonight she won't. Yuu dared to step forward getting on her tip toes reaching out touching his cheeks with her slight cold hands. " I've know you as long as I could remember Jericho. You would never hurt me either would that demon that lives in you. "

    "You have that confidence Yuu, but I don't. You have only heard my rages, never seen them in person, I become a wild, raving beast with no control over myself."
    His hands were warm and strong, protective resting on her shoulders. His own were shaking, his golden eyes wavering.
    "I don't want to hurt you, I don't want to hurt anyone but this Beast is bloodthirsty and destructive."

    " I know for a fact, even if I did meet this beast that consumes you at night. He won't hurt because he's you just a bit scary " chuckling at the last part. To lighten up the mood.
    Staying near him would be dangerous but she didn't care. Dangerous, horrified form he took under the full moon. Yuu didn't care about that either to her that roaring beast. Was still the Jericho who would protect her.

    His resistance was crumbling, Jericho's eyes were softening, going from molten to cool and then soft. His grip loosens and he drops to his knees again.
    "I'm sorry..."

    Falling to her knees as well holding ever to slightly. Pressing her cheek against his chest to listen to his heart beat. " you'll be ok " she chanted repeatedly. Closing her eyes tightly " it'll be ok Jericho everything will be fine " trying to sooth him.

    "I want them it to be okay, but I don't want to hurt you..."
    It took so long for his heart to calm from the wild, desperate beating to a slower, less frantic pace."
    "I'm sorry..."

    He stayed quiet the whole time, silently allowing her to leave.
    Nearly an hour later a servant found him in the same position, still silent.

    It was dead silent in her room. Those blue orbs stared at the dark corner of a wall she didn't like that he had to deal with this alone.
    The small blonde let out a sigh nibbling her lower lip. The ideas that ran through her made Yuu calm. Soft sob, left her lips covering her face with her hands.
    She wasn't scared of him but scared for Jericho's well being.

    Later on he appears just fine, once again dressed nicely and hair combed, golden eyes bright, a stoic expression on his face. Unperturbed by anything. This was the only way he could deal with others, if he hid what he suffered, if he kept any from seeing through his cracking shell.

    Yuu was in the kitchen. Sitting by herself taking a small sip from her cup before placing it down on the plate. Her eyes reverted back the book she was reading.
    Flipping a page, humming a soft tone her face holding a concentrated look.

    For the first part of breakfast Jericho doesn't appear to notice her, finally he looks up at her.
    "Yuu, if you would like I would invite you to this next 'meeting' I have to attend."
    By 'meeting' he meant a party as the people who called him a friend so stubbornly called them, he didn't really like them but he had to keep up a good face so he went anyway.

    slightly looking up from her book than shifted back to reading. " A meeting? There will be other people, I don't know about this idea Jericho but if it makes you happy. Than I'll gladly dress up for you " she said sweetly.
    Than went back to her silent tone. Closing the book placing it next to her in a chair. Swing her feet looking at the empty plate " what's for breakfast? I really hope she made peach cobbler "
