Summary
     “Listen here, Nikiforov…as long I’m here, I won’t let you touch or
     hurt Yuuri anymore…”
     Viktor had many kinds of relationship in the past, some of them are
     good and some of them are…well, better left unsaid and been
     threatened by a girl, who was now gripping his front of his collar
     was not a surprising experience for him.
     But to be choked by a little girl who had the same face with his
     crush was something else.The girl had the same eyes as Yuuri’s but
     more reddish like blood and she had a nice grip on his collar. Oh. He
     wasn’t ready with that flip.
     ...
     “Naw, you’re just a baby, don’t think you could act like a big shot
     and told my Yuuri to retire, not if you haven’t grown any hair down
     there, boy.” Yurio never felt humiliated like this before, not even
     Mila had this kind of choice of words when insulting his puberty.
     “The fuck are you?” the girl smiled smugly at him and tilted her head
     slightly.
     (A world where Yuuri and Yuuriko are the same persons or in other
     words Yuuriko was Yuuri’s alter ego and she wouldn’t stop protecting
     the poor Katsudon from the two Russian men, well Viktor always had
     his ways on Yuuri and…what’s this? our little Yurio has a crush.)

See the end of the work for notes
***** I’m You and You’re Me *****
“Yuuri, just forget about him…just focus on us, now.” A sound of a young woman
was heard inside of Yuuri Katsuki’s head.
The said male was busy leering on his phone screen, after the humiliating loss
in final at Sochi Grand Prix final, he mumbled quietly at the news about his
position as the last place.
“Katsuki Fell to the Last Place is This Season His Last?” he read out loud when
he saw the picture of him falling on the ice rink in utter defeat.
Feeling down after hearing his dog died, everything that he builds from the
scratch now starts to crumbling, all his dedication, his passion for being able
to compete with his idol crashed when the news about Vicchan reached his ears.
“Yuuri…perhaps, perhaps we should go to the bathroom, I can feel that you ready
to cry…” the same voice of a woman once again came, Yuuri agreed with her
suggestion and decided to head the men’s bathroom to let out the stress from
the competition.
He called his mother once again, when she asked him if his alright and everyone
was watching his performance at the Inn, he couldn’t help but pretend to shy
even though he failed at that, because as soon as he starts rambling his mother
apologize about his dog and Yuuri couldn’t help but starts to do the same as
his mother, he apologize for not be there for the last time.
After he ended the call, all the tears that he managed to hold were starts to
fall down on the back of his hands, he covered his face to block any tears fall
from his eyes although he already bet that his face was already wet right now.
“Yu-Yuuri, enough crying please…it breaks my heart if you look like this.” The
sound of woman’s voice tries to cheer him up, promising him that after the
banquet he’ll feel better and they could do better at the Nationals and World.
When he already feel better after the crying, he was just about to open the
door, a loud of bang came from the other side.
“Wha-what?”
“What’s that sound?!”
Yuuri opened the door then saw a pair of shoes with leopard and red color
printed on it.
Then he saw a pair of green eyes glaring him with full of hatred and rage, it
was Yuri Plisetsky, the winner of Junior Figure Skating from Russia and well-
known as Russian Yankee.
Yuuri could feel the sweat at his back when the teenager in front of him starts
to pointing at him lazily and threatened him.
“Listen here, there could only be one Yuri in Skating Figure, and that person
will be me! You should just pack up your things and retire already, LOOSEER!!!”
at the last sentence the blond starts to yell right in front of his face, Yuuri
flinched and even leaned back away from the yelling.
Although the woman inside of him starts to boiling in full of rage, ready to
burst out yet Yuuri managed to suppressed her from coming out.
“Yuuri, don’t stop me, let me teach this brat a thing or two! Please, let me
out. Yuuri!” The woman starts to struggle inside his body, ready to choked the
Russian’s front collar although it was a tempting offer but Yuuri didn’t want
to make an enemy before leaving Russia and worse he didn’t want anyone to know
about his secret.
After the boy left him alone, Yuuri sighed and looked back at his reflection,
there he stared at his own appearance nothing different except the person in
front of him has a long black hair and feminine face.
“Why wouldn’t you let me out, Yuuri? He’s been threating you, calling you a
loser!” the person in the mirror scowled in distaste when she remembers the
earlier incident.
“I…I just don’t want to cause a scene and besides that kid was still young, he
still learning…” the person in front of him scoffed and crossed her arms at her
bosom, feeling like a petulant child.
“Fine, I’ll let him off for now, it’s not like we had to meet him again…but if
he starts doing anything funny on you, I’ll—” said the woman sighing in defeat
before staring back at Yuuri, the woman had the same face as Yuuri except she
didn’t wear any glasses, her eyes were more fierce and she had long bangs that
cover a half of her face unlike Yuuri who trimmed his hair so it wouldn’t
become a hindrance for him when performing on the ice.
“Yuuriko, promised me on the banquet, you’ll be on your best behave…” Yuuri cut
her off before she could let out any crass words or any kinds of insult that’ll
make his ears reddened when he hear it, Yuuriko was different from him, where
he was shy and timid, she was confident and bold.
Nobody knows where Yuuriko came from but it’ll starts when Yuuri was bullied by
his classmates that he taking ballet class at Minako’s , when he try to bottle
up the stress not only from his classmates, his school, and his family,
although they never do anything that would harm him but yet the pressure was
there and boom! Everything starts to collapse when he woke up at the infirmary
with his family smothering him with a worried look.
Then he heard that he or a girl with the same face like his starts to punch and
kick the boys at his class, claiming that she will beat anyone who tried to
hurt him.
There where he realized that the girl inside of him was born as a shield,
protecting him from any harm and supporting him, the doctor said that it was
not uncommon for some people had an alter ego but what was uncommon that every
time the other part of him shows up, not only he had a different personality
but also his body changed physically, the doctor showed a picture of a young
girl with a frown on her pretty face—She could be more beautiful if she smiled
instead glaring, Yuuri mused— staring at the camera, she had a long hair and
long bang that covering half of her face, and if people don’t know Yuuri, they
would think that the girl was Yuuri’s identical twin.
It seems Yuuriko—he decided to call her that—only showed up when Yuuri felt
threaten or depressed and even though sometimes she comes out without him
realize it or on a rare occasion, she will come out automatically and the next
thing Yuuri will remember was before he was black out.
At first, he tried to suppress her from come out but then he gradually starts
to accept her as his part, even his family and friends also welcoming Yuuriko
as Yuuri’s another half.
“Alright fine but no promises, though…” she said and when Yuuri blinked, his
usual image was shown meaning that Yuriko was already falling asleep.
Then when he was reminiscing the event when Victor calling his name, well, it
was meant for the Russian Yuri but he had to look back and saw how his idol
strutting with Yuri Plisetsky next to him, it looks like they were discussing
Yuri’s performance but he couldn’t be sure.
“Huff, I always wondering what do you see in him…” Yuuriko’s voice came out
like a whisper.
“You wake up, huh?” he said in a small voice, small enough only Yuuriko could
hear him, the woman scoffed lazily before smiling, Yuuri could feel that she
was floating around him and then starts to hugging him for a comfort.
“Yuuri, do we have to attend that stupid banquet? You and I can stay in our
hotel room and so something fun~” Yuuri sighed before replied at her.
“I wish I could do that but knowing Celestino, he would drag us forcefully and
asked us to go mingle with other skaters.”
“I really hate that game!”
“And never good at it either…” he must be talking aloud and make the silver
haired man, named Victor Nikiforov looked back at him curiously when he realize
that he was talking to himself like an idiot, the Russian male smiled and then
asked him.
“A commemorative photo?”
What?
“Sure!” then he make a hand gesture as to say that he let Yuuri take as many
pictures as he wants, but Yuuri didn’t want that, he just want to—
But Yuuriko had another thought, when she and Yuuri saw how fake Victor’s
smile, Yuuriko could tell which one is genuine and which one is a fake just by
looking at the person’s eyes.
And she knows that she had to keep this guy off from Yuuri’s radar.
“What the—he thinks that you’re just a fan?! Does this guy even know all his
competitors?”
Yuuriko starts to fuming when she feel that her other self’s heart was
cracking, she want to come out and punch those white teeth of the guy, but she
had Yuuri as her main priority and even though she want to beat the two Russian
males that keep making her Yuuri hurt, she had to contain herself.
After all, there’s always the next time.
 
===============================================================================
 
Eleven_months_Later
“Yuuri, you gained weight with all those junk food that Phichit gave to you!
Seriously, that Thai guy had a bad influence on you.” Yuuriko chided him when
they returned to Hasetsu for a break, the two of them need to discuss what they
want to do after they graduate.
They took a bath at the onsen after praying their respect on their precious
poodle, Vicchan, the guilt was still there when they saw the picture of their
adorable Vicchan at the altar.
Mari asked them what to do after this, will they take over the family business
or continue skating, of course, whatever the choice that they pick she will
always support them. Then Minako had to turn on the fucking skating channel and
it was the World championship performance held on Yoyogi, Tokyo.
When he heard that Victor will be placed last for his performance, Yuuri
couldn’t help but want to skate at Ice Castle, to feel again whether he already
lost his passion and love at skating.
He brings his skates and some towels before went to Ice Castle, he jogs himself
to the building and he met a familiar figure was busying themselves putting the
used skate, the person on the counter didn’t recognize him since they turned
their back and said that they already closed.
“Eh, Yuu-kun?!” she smiled enthusiastically when she saw the ravenette was
shuffling his shoes in a shy antics, Yuuriko scoffed at the said girl who was
once Yuuri’s first crush before he turned his gaze at Victor Nikiforov.
“Long time no see Yuuko-san…” he said in a shy demeanor.
“Yuuri?!”
“I already told you to call me Yuu-chan, it’s good to see you guys again.”
Yuuko was also one of Yuuri’s friends that know his condition since she was his
rink mate when they were kids and she married to Takeshi Nishigori and had
triplets.
“Oh, you want to use the rink right? Sure thing, I’ll protect you.” She said
before gesturing him to follow her to the ice rink, Yuuri change his shoes to
his skates and proceed to the rink, he closed his eyes and he could feel
Yuuriko was talking to him.
“Yuuri, are you thinking what I’m thinking?” she asked.
“Yeah, I want to show it to Yuuko-san…” Yuuri said with a sheepish smile, he
could feel the girl inside of him sighed reluctantly before agreeing with him,
she hugged him so tight and leaning her head on his shoulder.
“Let’s do this then, as usual, let me protect your back…” she kissed him on the
cheek before his body starts to relax on his position and lowered his head.
“Ah, this position…”Yuuko said when she saw Yuuri’s first position.
Then he began to swirl before steps back and starts to dance, he could feel
that he was not dancing alone but with Yuuriko, he could see his other half was
floating and dancing with him, the woman in front of him was smiling gently
while chanted poetry about love.
                        I hear a voice crying far away
                       Have you been abandoned as well?
Yuuri could hear the sound of classic instrumental mixed with an opera song,
she always does this when he was on the ice like she was narrating the story
behind of his performance.
Now she tried to decipher Yuuri’s feeling and emotion and as a result, she
turns them into a poetry or short song.
“Yuuri, you’re not alone, there’s always another chance…we could do it better
than before, I promise…” Yuuriko said when the Japanese skater swirl around the
ice rink she follows the motion like she was dancing with him.
                            Your hands, your legs,
                              My hands, my legs,
                      The heartbeats Are fusing together
“Yeah, that’s a good idea…” Yuuri said when the last sequence was about to
start.
Whenever Yuuri was on the rink he never felt that he was actually alone, he
could feel Yuuriko always near him, so it feels like he had a partner for
dancing the perks of having an alter ego, only him who could see Yuuriko’s
astral appearance.
He never knew when did Yuuriko managed to develop this kind of skill but he
felt grateful having her around him during the performance although when the
spell was broken, which means when he messed his jumps or sequence, Yuuriko
soon vanished and it took time for her to return.
“Let’s move together and don’t look back…” she smiled so brightly while held
out her hand for Yuuri accepted and at the same time Yuuri do the last spin
then stop at the last pose, half of his upper body facing to the ceiling while
he was hugging himself, when in the reality he was hugging Yuuriko who was
hugging him back on the neck.
“I’m ready when you were ready…” he said.
“I always have, Yuuri.” His doppelganger replied in a soft tone, the two were
staring quite long before Yuuko had to slam her fist in a gushing sound and
commented on how perfect Yuuri copying Viktor’s choreography.
                             Let’s leave together
                                 Now I’m ready
“Let’s go together…”
 
===============================================================================
 
Then the next thing Yuuri and Yuuriko know, their video about doing Viktor
Nikiforov’s free skating went viral on tweeter, the two Yuuri’s were having a
different reaction, Yuuri’s face was pale and he was on the bridge of fainting
himself when he heard Takeshi explained to him that his daughters were the one
who uploading the video while Yuuriko seemed interested on what the world react
when they saw how beautiful her Yuuri is.
“I just wanna sleep forever…” he said in feeling tired suddenly.
“It’s not like the end of the world, yuuri. Calm down.”
“But what if Viktor sees it and hated it?”
“Don’t worry, Yuuri it’s not like that snobby brat or Viktor will come and do
something about it…everyone are free to skate this program…” Yuuriko tried to
cheer him up by hugging him from behind and rubbing her cheeks on Yuuri’s.
“Now will you be a good boy and rest…?” Yuuri nodded his head and began to take
a deep slumber with Yuuriko beside him and hugging him, she sighed in delight
when she saw her other self was sleeping like a baby, the girl was fallen into
him since the beginning she was created by Yuuri.
She was created by him when the bullies start to hurt him physically, by
building an image of a strong figure who was opposite from him, then she was
born and took charge of anyone who dares to lay their fingers on her creator.
“Yuuri…I’m always beside you and never leave…” then she starts to doze up
before evaporates slowly from Yuuri’s body.
Yuuri couldn’t feel her weight but he still can feel her touch, like when she
caressed his face, playing with his hair or rubbing her cheeks on his.
He could feel it like she was actually here, like a human being. In the
morning, Hiroko called Yuuri from the other side of his room, asking for his
help to shovel the snow away from the road, he woke up alone and felt that
Yuuriko was still asleep, he fixed his glasses and saw that the inn was covered
with snow and when he realized that his phone was turned off, probably Yuuriko
since she could only touch his belongings.
He starts to get ready and wear the thickest clothes that he could find, never
pegged himself as a fashionable person as long the clothes were comfy and
androgynous enough for both of them, so when Yuuriko accidentally comes out,
she wouldn’t feel awkward walking on the streets wearing a man’s clothes.
When he was about to open the front door to go outside, he was surprised by the
sound of a bark came out from a large poodle, he almost couldn’t believe it
that he saw a perfect copy of his dead dog, Vicchan…no way…
“Vi-Vichan-BARK!-oh, wrong—!!” the dog suddenly runs forward and managed to
tackle him, making his back hurts from the impact after colliding with the hard
concrete. The dog whined happily and then rested its head on Yuuri’s plump
stomach, then he realizes that there is no way that his dear Vicchan will come
alive from the ground and tackled him like a healthy dog in general, then his
father came out and said that the poodle belonged to the handsome foreigner.
“—right now, he’s in the onsen…” No way, his instinct says that he had to go
inside and found the said foreigner, no matter what.
“Yuuri, what’s wrong?” he heard Yuuriko called him from inside his head.
“It can’t be…” he ignored her and run towards the deeper part of the onsen,
theRotenburo… outdoor hot spring, he couldn’t be sure but perhaps, he opened
the sliding door and saw a silver haired man relaxing in his family’s hot
spring.
“Vi-Viktor…?” the said man huffed a little and removed the wet towel from his
head, Yuuri couldn’t believe his eyes, perhaps he needs to check his eyes once
more again at the optical store since it’s been five years since he gets his
eyes check.
“What are you doing here?” he stuttered when he still couldn’t believe his idol
was relaxing on the host spring and the said male was standing, showing full of
his glory in front of Yuuri, oh my God he was buck naked in front of him.
Viktor was standing and showing his toned and well-muscled body, then with a
dramatic pose and voice full of confident, he declared a proposition.
“Yuuri~! Starting today I’ll be your coach, I will take you to the Grand Prix
Final and you’re going to win with my help.” He said that with a wink, leaving
the poor Japanese skater breathless when he wasn’t able to process everything
that the older man said.
“EEEEEHHH?!” not only Yuuri, even his other half Yuuriko was yelling so loudly
when they finally realized that the flamboyant man called Viktor Nikiforov
declared that he will be Yuuri’s coach this season.
 
===============================================================================
 
“Yuuri…I don’t think you should accept his offer…” Yuuriko said in a stern tone
when the two of them were alone in the room, leaving Viktor to enjoy the
delicacy that his family’s inn provides.
“But…he came all the way from Russia...just to coaching me…I think this will be
a good opportunity.” Yuuri mumbled while hugging his knees and staring all his
collection of Viktor’s posters.
“Coaching…you don’t actually think that you take his offer being his pupil,
right? That guy didn’t even have what it takes to be a good coach!” Yuuriko
said in disbelief.
“Well, he could learn a thing or two while he’s coaching me…” He reasoned with
his alter ego, knowing once Yuuri already decided on anything, it was no use
for her ask him to reconsider his choice.
“Nothing that I say will stop you, huh…?”
“Yes, you did say yourself, we will move together and never look back, there’s
always a new chance.” Her Yuuri was cunning, using her own words to against
her.
“Alright, I’ll play along but when he starts doing something funny, I’ll punch
him.”
“Something funny?” he asked, tilted his head.
“That man…something the way his eyes when he was looking at you…at the onsen—”
“Yuuriko?”
“—maybe it was just my imagination, anyway, just be careful and don’t hesitate
to call me…” and with that, he went downstairs and meet the drunken Russian was
sleeping on the tatami floor.
At the same time, Minako Sensei came and rushed to the dining room, where she
found her ex ballet student and the famous Viktor Nikiforov were in the same
room. After a short and confusing yet half convincing explanation, Minako
finally calmed down herself and told Yuuri that it was amazing that the hero
from Russia came all the way just want to be Yuuri’s coach, then they heard a
small groan from the sleeping man and he was asking for…food.
Although Viktor’s accent was slightly stiff but he was on the intermediate
level, where not only Yuuri could understand even Minako also could participate
in the small talk, when Viktor asked what’s Yuuri’s favorite food, his mother
already prepared the meal for their foreign guest to taste.
“Vksuno~!!! Is this what the Gods eat? It’s so yummy!” it was a surprising view
to see a foreign guest, especially from Russia, could hold their chopsticks
without any trouble. Yuuri was smiling to himself when his idol likes his
favorite dish, but Minako had to point out that he only had Katsudon when he
won a medal and of course Viktor had to ask whether Yuuri had eaten this dish
more than once, Yuuri answered honestly that he had.
“Why? You haven’t won anything?” and it hurts a bit, when Viktor mentioned his
piggy body and plump stomach that keeps coming out from the edge of his shirt,
he proposed that Yuuri had to lose some weight or he wouldn’t be able to train
him, Yuuri was struggling to keep Yuuriko out from his body.
“So, your first task was to lose some weight, if not, I couldn’t coach you like
this, right little piggy~?” he said with an innocent face but his words were
stung like spear, Minako’s smug expression slowly changed into a slightly
panic, since she know what happens when Yuuri in a verge of depression and
Yuuriko would not stand if any longer if the insult keeps coming.
But looks like the goddess of luck was on Viktor’s side before Yuuriko had the
chance to come out, Mari asked Yuuri and the others what to do with the piling
box around the corridor, apparently, the boxes were Viktor’s and he asked where
his room will be.
Yuuri helped him by bringing all the boxes to the unused banquet room which
located next to Yuuri’s bedroom.
“What a spacious traditional room! Is there any sofa here?”
“N-no…I’m sorry since this is the room that available…”
“Don’t worry, you can pay all the coaching fee after you won a gold.” The
Russian skater said in ease, although Yuuri was contemplated on how expensive
the coaching fee will while Yuuriko was looking a way on how to stab Viktor
without any people realizing it was her doing, after being suppressed down by
Yuuri forcibly, it was a matter of time when she will come out.
Yuuri was busying himself on calming Yuuriko, promising her that she could use
his body as much she likes if she behaves but didn’t realize when Viktor was
kneeling in front of him and call his name in…an intimate way?
“Yuuri…I want to know everything about you…” his hand reached at one of Yuuri’s
and he could see the collar of Viktor’s green kimono slowly slipped off,
showing his pale shoulders and those pair blue eyes kept gleaming in delight.
“What kind of skating do you usually do? What’s in this city? And is there any
girls that you like?” he asked one question after another, leaving Yuuri
flustered and confused whether he could answer all of Viktor’s questions.
Then those dainty fingers were touching his chin and lifted his face to
Viktor’s face, making the distance between them became closer if Yuuri makes
any sudden move his lips probably brushed against Viktor’s pink lips.
Feeling that his brain suddenly died earning an intimate skinship from his
idol, Yuuriko suddenly calling Yuuri to snapped out of it and react, which is
what he was doing right now, he suddenly moved backward away from Viktor’s
clutch with a beaming red face. His back was touching the wall, leaving a
confused and slightly disappointed look from the Russian skater.
“Why…do you run away?” he replied with nothing because he was tired and need
some rest, although it was a lame excuse but Viktor let it go quickly, Yuuri
need to calm down his heart if he knew how clingy his-soon-to-be-coach was, he
would have to prepare himself mentally.
Inside their room, Yuuriko was floating and roaming around Yuuri with a
murderous look, she then stopped in front of Yuuri’s face.
“We need to keep our distance from that Nikiforov, I smell something fishy with
his excuse…I think he was using you for his inspiration…” she said in spite,
knowing there was something in Viktor that she didn’t like.
“Yuuriko, although he has his own reasons we need him in order to get better.”
“Still… there’s something about him that I couldn’t pin point…why now? Why it
only took one video about you skating his program and he suddenly flew from
Russia just want to coach you, it doesn’t make any sense.”
“Maybe since he was busy with all the skating and the seasons…” Yuuri tries to
reason with her.
“I’ll take that reason for now…come on, let’s go to sleep, we need to have a
proper rest before tomorrow.” She ushered him to go to bed, when he was about
to do that, a sound of knocking was heard from the outside.
“Yuuri, let’s have a slumber party, as your coach, I need to know how you
sleep…” it was Viktor.
The panicking boy holding the door, he struggle to keep his door open while the
other male was trying to barge in by calling his name numerous time, Yuuri had
to say no so many times for the foreign man to understand that he declined his
offer.
“Yuuri, the posters…” he realized that he had so many of Viktor’s posters and
the shame of being an obsessed fanboy starts nagging inside his mind, Yuuri
took all the posters and shoved them under his bed.
In the end, Viktor went back to his own room and sleep on the futon while
hugging Makkachin.
 
===============================================================================
 
It took all days and weeks for Yuuri to lose his weight to his normal skate
figure body, Yuuriko was cheering him and even offering to change place
whenever Yuuri felt tired, of course, he had to decline in order not to attract
Viktor’s attention about his another self.
Then one day, when the two men were practicing near the castle, Viktor asked a
question out of the blue.
“Nee, Yuuri do you like Minako?” Yuuri almost stumbles from the way his stand
from the bench.
“Wh-wha? No, no it’s not like that! she was my ballet instructor before I went
to skating figure.”
“Then, how about we talk about lovers? Yuuri do you have any girlfriend?”
“N-no…”
“An ex-girlfriend?”
“No comment…” Yuuriko furrows her brows when the foreigner keeps pestering
Yuuri about his love interest, it’s not his business to ask something so
personal and as far as she knew even Celestino never asked this kind of
question during their time of training.
“Well, then, let’s talk about me, my past girlfriend was—.”
“Awawawawawaaaa!!!” Before Viktor could ever continue his story about his past
lovers, Yuuri needs to cut him and then the two men continue talking with a new
topic about the castle that used to be residing ninjas.
Hearing a familiar word of ninja, Viktor gets so excited and asked Yuuri to
take photos of him, little do they know that Viktor’s habits about sharing
everything about him through Instagram could lead a thirsty journalist and mass
media come to Hasetsu.
And of course, the news spread widely and even reached to the Russian kid’s
ears, the pair of green eyes was glaring at the phone screen when he saw the
title.
“Hasetsu castle? What, is he want to become a ninja or something?” Yuri smirked
in satisfaction that he found out Viktor’s whereabouts.
“I finally found you…”
 
===============================================================================
 
“Hmmm…finally your body turned back to its normal…” Yuuriko said in a content
look when she saw Yuuri was on the scale to measure his current weight.
“Yeah, I can’t believe it either…” Yuuri smiled in relief and the two of them
had worked so hard in order to make a better shape, all they need to do is to
find Viktor so they can start the training.
“Are you that excited, to be coach by that guy?” Yuuriko asked him when he was
jogging to Ice castle, the two of them were a little bit late to meet Viktor.
“Yuuriko, he has a name you know…”
“Doesn’t mean that I have to call him like that, I prefer calling yours…”
“Huh? the paparazzi were at the Ice Castle too?” since Viktor posted all his
photos on Instagram, people came from many countries to Hasetsu demanding that
they could interview about the meaning behind of Viktor’s photo and his
statement to become Yuuri’s coach, so it wasn’t an unusual event when he saw
the mass medias were swarming at every place that they could find in order to
seek Viktor.
“That leeches…can't they see that they just being a bother if this keeps up you
never going to train seriously…thanks to that Nikiforov guy…” Yuuriko’s grumble
was pounding inside of his head like a hammer, it’s a kinda bit sad although
they were the same person but the half of him was not welcoming Viktor, instead
Yuuriko was being hostile every time Viktor had a chance to touch Yuuri whether
it was on purpose or not.
Yuuri promised her that they were going on their “date” as soon as possible,
which surprisingly calmed her down but he knew that he couldn’t hold her any
longer.
“We better go now, as soon as we reach the Ice Castle the sooner we can start
our training.”
 
===============================================================================
 
The triplets do everything they can to hold any paparazzi or crazy fangirls and
boys from entering the Ice Castle, despite their little bodies they could hold
them without any problem, that was until a teenager walks nonchalantly towards
the front door and once they realize it was none other than Yuri Plisetsky
himself, the triplets pray that the other Yuuri would not show up right now.
“Huff, huff hey girls, guess what , my weight turned to its normal…”oh, boy.
“Y-Yuuri…” Axel tries to tell him something but he was too tired to comprehend
her calling.
“I just can’t wait to train with Vik-ACK?!” Then the angry tiger from Russia
suddenly back kicked him without apparent reason, even Yuuriko didn’t even
realize that the punk from Grand Prix was here too.
“Owwiee—ouch, wha-what just happen?” then the brat had the nerve to stomped on
Yuuri’s forehead and even grind the sole of his shoes on him.
“Oi, pig, where the hell are you doing, because of you that bastard had
forgotten his promise to become my coach, apologize now.” Without realizing
himself, Yuuriko took charge of his body and with ease, she lifted Yuri’s shoes
of from her face and sent him back a little stumble.
“Wha?!”
“Get your feet off…my Yuuri!” with a masculine face yet got mixed with a
feminine voice, the Japanese skater was standing with his head hung downward.
“The heck…?” Yuri never saw such fierce when he saw the pig below him suddenly
glaring at him with such anger, he blinked before saw the timid man he knows
was standing at him with a panicked look.
“Yu-Yuri, are you alright?” Yuuri was looked like he just killed his cat on
purpose and now his face looked really pale, the blonde kid shook his head and
return to his normal facial glare.
“Whatever just take me to Viktor’s place already.” The two of them were on the
counter talking about which program that they will use and stuff like that,
Yuuri answered that Viktor and he haven’t talked a lot about it.
“What? Then what the hell are you doing all this time?!” he stomped hard on the
floor, looking at the taller Japanese in disbelief.
“Heh, guess he will think twice on coaching a loser who cries at the bathroom
looking so pathetic…” Yuuriko was ready to strike him once again but this time
Yuuri was prepared so he held her before she had the chance to pull that stupid
blonde hair.
“Why did you stop me, I told you I’m gonna ripped him a new one if he hurts
you!” Yuuriko was furious, it only takes a matter of time before she explodes
and Yuuri wouldn’t be able to control her.
“We have to be the calm side… please, Yuuriko, bear with it, tomorrow, tomorrow
we will go on a date, I promised!”
“Like… the usual?” she asked like a little girl asking permission if she could
have a candy before dinner.
“Yes, yes…the park and the ballet studio, you like that don’t you?” when he got
no response, his feelings were divided into two, whether he was relief that
Yuuriko let him off for a while or it was an uncomfortable feeling because she
was up to something.
Yuri didn't understand the man in front of him opened his mouth but he couldn’t
hear any voice from his lips, it’s like he was talking to himself.
“Oy…Katsu—” then he saw the smirk, a mocking smirk.
“Hmph…” he didn’t like the way that Yuuri Katsuki’s smug look, he tilted his
head while looking down at him.
“What the hell are you grinning about, you fat ass?!”
“Well, I don’t know for sure but you can ask all of it from Viktor.” He opened
the glass door and then saw the famous skater in the world was skating freely
like he was composing some program, Yuri saw the choreography and surprised.
“That was the program that he was composed for the next season…”
“Huh?” he saw Viktor was gliding on the ice, flicking his wrists and spinning
gracefully.
“You probably didn’t know but Viktor was in the slump lately, he couldn’t find
his inspiration…you should know that it was his thing to make a surprise to his
fans and if you lost your inspiration it’s just the same that you’re dying…”
Hmph, what do you expect…
“Oy, Viktor looks like you having fun, huh?!” Yuri was screaming from the other
side of the ice rink, the older male turns around and saw an angry Yuri and a
timid Yuuri were standing.
“Ah, Yuri I never knew you came to Hasetsu too…what’s up?”
“HMRGHHH!!!!” Yuuri was looking around and he was panicking because he couldn’t
found any trace of Yuuriko’s presence.
“Hmm, if you were growling and giving me that look, it means that there was
something I’ve forgotten about?” Viktor was smiling and putting his pointed
finger on his lips, like was thinking of something but he couldn’t remember.
What is this unsettling feeling?
 
===============================================================================
 
“Ahaha, about that, I’m sorry I totally forgot, you know that I’m a forgetful
person?” Yuri was shaking infuriatingly.
“Yeah, I know you had rotten memories…but still, a promise still a promise!”
“Return to Russia with me now!” Yuuri gasped and gave him a terrified look at
the silver-haired man, Viktor was thinking hard and then he come out a terrific
idea, well for him it was.
“Then how about this, how do you feel if we make a bet?” it managed to lure
both Yuris to pay attention.
“I created two programs for my short program, but couldn’t decide which program
should I choose. The two Yuris will perform using one of my two programs, these
programs were in the same music piece…although each program had a different
version.”
“SO in other words, you guys had to dance to the same music…”
“Dance in the same music as this guy?!” the two Yuris were pointing at each
others in disbelief.
“Yup, I already completed the choreography for the first program now I need to
make a new one for the second…just gimme one week to finish it. Then in two
weeks, you guys will have to perform it and I will evaluate it.”
“Wa-wait isn’t this too—” Yuuri was against but the other Yuri accepted the
challenge with an excited look.
“Let’s do this, the winner will get what he wants, right?!” they could see the
shaped heart smile from Viktor face and how those two pair of blue eyes were
shining in delight like a kid that was happy for the early Christmas.
“Just wait a minute!” it was the triplets, standing with a conspiracy look on
their faces.
“Let us help you guys with this little competition…allow us to arrange the
event, the theme is Hot Springs on Ice!!! Two Yuris will compete with each
other and the winner will have Viktor as the coach!”
No…
Something’s wrong here…where’s Yuuriko.
She not here…
Don’t tell me…
“Yeah, I like that!!! Let’s do this!” Viktor raised his fist in the air along
with the triplets, then slowly Yuuri felt that he was seeping, his eyes getting
heavier and he was struggling to keep his eyes open.
No…
Resist…
No, Yuuriko, don’t…
“I HAD ENOUGH!!!” a sound of a feminine voice erupted their cheering.
“A woman’s voice?” Yuri asked in surprised.
“Whose voice it was?”
“There was a woman here?” they slowly turned back right where Yuuri was
standing, there they saw an angry woman with long black hair that was hung so
low and the fringes covered half of her face.
“I had enough with all of this…” the woman looks like she was ready to
slaughter anyone that moves.

Chapter Notes
See the end of the chapter for notes
“Yu-Yuuriko.” Said the triplets when they saw the woman who was now showing her
pretty face, she had a long black hair, a luscious pair of lips and she was
glaring at the two males in front of her.
“I’m sick with all of this, playing around with my Yuuri as you see fit, he was
not a toy…” she was walking in full of rage.
“Uh-uhm, Miss? Where do you come from, you know, this place was rented for the
training, right?” Viktor couldn’t pinpoint if he ever saw the girl who was
still walking gracefully but full of vengeance, although didn’t know what kind
of bad things he had done to this lovely woman.
And then the feminine hand grabbed his front shirt with a strong pull, Viktor
almost got dragged by the girl’s grip.
“O-oy!” Yuri shouted in surprised, he’d seen this woman, earlier at the counter
when he was teaching the pig a lesson for stealing his soon-to-be coach.
“Yuuriko, please put Viktor down.” Lutz was trying calm the angry woman, looks
like Yuuriko hasn’t gone out for a long time, so that’s why she was in a
berserk mode especially after what Yuri did to Yuuri but the triplets couldn’t
understand the reason why she was so pissed at Viktor, like the said Russian
male had done something bad to Yuuri. But the girl never listens to them, the
only person she’d only hear out was Yuuri.
“Listen here, Nikiforov…as long I’m here, I won’t let you touch or hurt Yuuri
anymore…” Viktor had many kinds of relationship in the past, some of them are
good and some of them are…well, better left unsaid and been threatened by a
girl, who was now gripping his front of his collar was not a surprising
experience for him.
But to been choked by a little girl who had the same face with his crush was
something else.
The girl had the same eyes as Yuuri’s but more reddish like blood and she had a
nice grip on his collar BUT don’t call him Viktor Nikiforov if he can’t make
the girl in front of him swoon when he could make all the women kneeling on to
the floor just with his signature wink.
“Uhm, miss…could you please let go of my collar, it's starting to hurt now…” he
gave her his best smile but the girl didn’t even falter.
Oh well. He wasn’t ready for that flip.
The girl just threw him to the ground, causing the triplets scream in surprise
and panic, Yuri in the other hand still confused the newcomer, where did she
come from and who is she?
“Viktor, are you alright?” the girls asked the fallen silver-haired man, he
groaned in pain while rubbing the back of his spine.
“Ouch, ouch…she really could lift me like a pillow…aw, my back.” He mumbled.
“What the heck is your deal, woman?!” Yuri decided to ask the girl with an
angry tone, sure Viktor could be the pain of his ass for all time but that
doesn’t mean that he should be treated like that.
“…” the girl turned her head at Yuri instead, her reddish eyes were calculating
his appearance from head to toe, her brows were knitting in scrutinize like she
was examining a rare animal.
“What the fuck are you looking at, ah?!” Yuri asked again fully glared at the
ravenette, which earned him the same amount of glare from her. She scoffed at
the teenager.
“Naw, you’re just a baby, don’t think you could act like a big shot and told my
Yuuri to retire, not if you haven’t grown any hair down there, boy.” Yurio
never felt humiliated like this before, not even Mila had this kind of choice
of words when insulting his puberty.
“The fuck are you?” the girl smiled smugly at him and tilted her head slightly,
Yuri could see behind her there was Victor who was smiling so tightly and
sweating profusely. The girl wears the same jersey as Katsudon, by the way
where is …
“Hey, What’s with the commotion?!” a familiar sound of a woman, the others
turned to look a brunette wearing a white and pink striped jersey was running
towards them with a worried expression plastered on her face.
“MAMA!” the triplets shouted in response.
“Oh, My God, Viktor are you alright? What happened here?” the girl helped
Viktor to stand up and checked if he has another wound or not.
“Ah, Yuuko, nice to have you here could you please tell this lovely lady not to
enter the ice rink for a while…?” Viktor smiled although she could see that the
man was trying to chase away the foreign girl, Yuuko looked at the ravenette
before she widened her eyes.
Yuri still haven’t grasped the situation, why in the hell there’s another girl
inside this rink and why everyone was paling like a white sheet when the saw
this brute girl? Then when he saw the raventte was searching something in her
jersey pocket and pulling out a blue object.
She held out blue framed glasses in front of him and when she wore it then
everything was click on.
“AAAAHHHHH?!” Yuri shouted while rudely pointed at the woman who was wearing
Yuuri’s glasses, the woman looked like a perfect copy of him, except the
feminine body part.
“Yuuriko…where’s Yuuri?” Yuuko asked at the female, Viktor turned to the
brunette and then looked at the ravenette.
“Wai-wait, Yuuriko?” Yuuko then realized that her best friend didn’t tell
anything about his circumstances with the two Russians, in the same time
Takeshi, her husband came.
“Hey, guys, what’s wrong and why Yuuriko looked like she was ready to blow
everyone in this room?” looking at the confused Viktor Nikiforov and Yuri
Plisetsky with the pale Yuuko with the triplets, he then got the gist.
“Oy, someone tells me what the hell is going on here before I’m going mad!”
Yuri screamed in frustration when everything was spiraling, he almost pulled
out his blond locks.
Yuuko and Takeshi sighed before replying. “Ah, then I guess I need to introduce
you guys, who this lady here.” Takeshi beckoned his hand toward the
bespectacled woman, the woman didn’t show any reaction and Takeshi let her be.
“Let me introduce you guys, that female that was glaring you guys was Yuuriko,
Yuuri’s alter ego.”
…
…
Oh, Bor…just let me return to Russia already, with all of this nonsense.
 
===============================================================================
 
Two_Hours_Later
The three of them walking together towards Yu-topia Inn, the two Russians male
walking a little bit far away from the woman who was shoving her hands into her
jacket pocket.
“Why do you have to walk that far?” she asked while turned her head toward the
two males.
“W-well…” Viktor was lost in words, while Yuri looked like a scared kitten,
ready to claw anyone who dares to make any false move.
“Relax your asses, it’s not like I’m gonna kill you on the spot if you stick
close to me.” Both of them shot her a disbelief look.
“Yuuri also keeps telling me not to hurt you guys, so it’s fine.” She said and
continue walking, the other didn’t want to test the truth of her words so they
keep their distance away from Yuuri’s alter ego.
It took 30 minutes for the to return to Yu-topia and when they arrived at the
front door, Hiroko was there to greet them, she was slightly surprised when she
saw Yuuriko was standing with the two Russians male behind her looking like
terrified animals.
“Ara, Yuuriko-chan, welcome home, Vicchan too and…”
“Ah, this brat is Yuri Plistesky.” Yuuriko introduced the blond hair teenager,
ignoring his protest.
“Is he going to stay here too?” she asked in delight, Yuuriko nodded at her
before turned her view at his new guest.
“Listen here, punk…you may stay here for a while and you don’t have to pay the
room since I’m going to put you in the storage room in Viktor’s room.” Yuri
knew there is a word of “but” in those sentences.
“But…” what did he tell you?
“If you try anything funny, like intimidating my Yuuri again…remember, I will
be the one you should feel intimidated…” she said in low tone, Viktor never
seen the Russian’s Tiger was stiff as a brick when a woman talking to him,
mostly when his fangirls came around he always shouted at them and sometimes
had the urge to call them ugly but Viktor and Yakov always reprimanded him from
doing so.
Then Yuuriko disappears from them view, telling the inn staff that she wants to
soak in the onsen right now.
“God, Viktor how the hell did you get in this mess?” Yuri asked while still
standing at the front corridor with his rink-mate.
“Oh, Yuri I wish I knew...”
“Whatever, it doesn’t change the fact that the witch agreed that the bet is
still on.” It was a surprising event when the two Russian males met the
infamous Yuuri’s alter ego, compare to the timid and shy Yuuri Katsuki, this
Yuuri(ko) person was far scarier and bolder compared to Yuri’s teenage tantrum.
“I’m surprised to see that woman agreed to participate the competition after
what she said about squeezing out our life if we do something bad to Yuuri…”
Viktor said in astonishment, they went to the second floor so Yuri could put
his luggage before went to the hot spring.
“That woman said she’s gonna put me into the storage room…the nerve of that
witch.” Yuri grumbled in annoyance when he remembered the arrogance on
Yuuriko’s face. Sure he came to Hasetsu without notice and shouted that he will
stay with Yuuri and Viktor but, a little bit hospitality from the host would be
nice, he thought.
“Well, look at the bright side, the host spring in this place is great.” Viktor
tried to cheer him up.
“Geh, I don’t want to share the same bathroom with other people naked!” Yuri
slammed the door which he assumed to be his room yet after a few seconds a loud
sound of grumbling sounds came out from inside Yuri’s room could be heard.
In the end, Yuri did soak in a large wooden pail filled with hot spring water,
he sighed in the delight when he could feel the bone inside of him relax.
Yuri was also been introduced with Yuuri Katsuki’s favorite dish called
Kastudon or Pork Cutlet Bowl in English, he gulped down the delicious food
without even chewing the rice first, Viktor mused that the poor kitten was
probably really hungry when he came to Hasetsu without a guardian.
After eating the delicious feast, Yuri slumped down on the wooden table with
Viktor indulging himself with one bottle of beer, the two male didn’t expect a
sound of shoji door was shifted and showed the person who they don’t want to
face right now.
It was Yuuriko wearing a blue shirt and dark trouser holding a tray of a bowl
filled with rice and kinds of vegetables on top of it, she had a cold look at
the two before putting down her food and eat slowly, like a proper lady.
“…”
“…er, hi, Yuuriko.” The female picked her broccoli and eat it with a silence,
Hiroko smiled at her and then a sound of another woman came out wearing red
clothes similar with the inn staffs usually wear.
“Yuuri, ah it’s Yuuriko, you had another visitor, huh?” it was Mari and as an
instinct, Yuri who had the similar name turned his face and facing the woman
who called his name with an “Ah” tone.
Of course knowing Mari’s weird taste comparing Yuri’s face with one of her
favorite band she squealing like any fangirls would do and when Hiroko
explained to her daughter that the kid has the same name, Mari announced to
everyone inside the dining room that Yuri will be called Yurio despite the
protest.
“Good for you, Yurio.” said Viktor smiling.
“Shut up that’s not my name!” and earned a light laugh from Viktor, Yuuriko
looked at the expression and felt a slight pang from her chest.
No, it wasn’t hers, it was… Yuuri's.
So, this is the feeling that you felt when you see them, huh? You were
wondering if you will be able to talk with Viktor, like the way Yurio did, eh?
Since Yuri has more potential more than us…
Without the two males noticing, Yuuriko stood up from her unfinished dinner and
proceed to bring all her belongings toward Ice Castle, Yuuriko jogged through
the night with Makachin in tow with her, it seems the poodle was taking a
liking not only Yuuri but also his alter ego. That brat was pretty confident,
saying he will win the Grand Prix Final on his first run as a senior skater.
That brat was comfortable with Viktor, something that we lack since I don’t
like Viktor at all and while Yuuri was too afraid to talk with someone who he
worships since a kid.
Compared to us, that brat much more…
 
===============================================================================
 
“Huh? where’s Yuuriko?” asked Viktor laying on the tatami floor while Yuri
still slumped down on to the dining table feeling full for the great food, Mari
came and picked the empty beer bottle and Yuri’s plate.
“She left a while ago. At a time like this, those two had been at Minako-san’s
place or Ice Castle.” Mari explained to the older male before continuing.
“They've always been that way.” Viktor then went outside, noticing that his dog
would probably be with Yuuriko since the poodle seemed to take a shine on the
Japanese skater, he accidentally caught Yuuri or Yuuriko feed the large poodle
with a jerky beef when no one noticing which earn trust from the cute dog.
He shook his head remembering Yuuri’s cute face when he feeds Viktor’s pet. He
asked a few locals that could speak English for a direction to Minako’s place,
which he soon to know a place named Kachu Snack Bar with Minako as the owner,
she indulges him with a Japanese traditional bottle liquor.
“Ah, Yuuriko? She’s not here. By “my place” Mari meant my ballet studio.”
Minako said leaning her arm on the table facing Viktor.
“Minako-san, do you know who is Yuuriko and where did she come from?” the owner
blinked a few second before sighed.
“So that’s why you asked Yuuriko not Yuuri when you came here, so you already
met her, huh?” Viktor nodded.
“It wasn’t my place to say it since I wasn’t there where the accident happened,
I think it was better if you asked Yuuri’s childhood friends. Although it was
even better if Yuuri told you himself.”
“Yuuko and Takeshi Nishigori, right?”
“Yes, those two was with him when that accident happened…”
 
===============================================================================
 
“We didn’t know much of her original background but she only appears when Yuu-
kun feeling depressed or threatened although on some rare occasion she will
appear on her own will and Yuuri didn’t always remember when she was in charge
of his body…” Yuuko explained to the silver-haired man.
“Either way, the doctor said that she came out when Yuuri was in elementary
school, lots of kids making fun of him and bullying him just because of his
passion for ballet, then one day from the oral abuse it turned into
physically…then when we were called from the hospital, the other students said
a little girl appeared and beat all the bullies…” it was Takeshi who continue
the explanation.
Viktor widened his eyes when he heard that, he didn’t move his head instead he
glance at the woman who was now standing with a determine eyes.
“Yuuko, I want to do that…” they heard Yuuriko speak from the rink, she
couldn’t see the extra people inside Yuuko’s office.
“Ah, of course, I will play the music, just go to your first position,” Yuuko
said in a gentle tone from the speaker but Yuuriko ignored her and opened the
jacket, she placed it on the barrier before return into the middle of the rink.
“Does she always that cold to you?” Viktor asked at Yuuko, the girl smiled.
“Yuuriko…never likes any human being except Yuuri, I think she was jealous of
me when we were younger, Yuuri always followed me and Takeshi like a lost puppy
and I think she still saw me as her competitor.”
A competitor huh, if Yuuriko was that cold toward Yuuko, what about him? Will
he be able to convey this feeling toward Yuuri if Yuuriko always deemed him as
an enemy?
(X)
They hear a sound of violin with piano played together for the first time,
Viktor blinked when he heard the music, it was different from Stammi Vicino but
something from this music and Yuuriko’s expression.
It was an expression that couldn’t be made just by acting, Yuuriko used her
feeling just what he saw when Yuuri skated his program, Yuuri could portray the
story and the meaning behind the story, it was a loneliness and longed for
someone.
Yuuriko spreads both of her hands before make a cross sign in the air, then she
moved gracefully to the right, before make a small circle.
“I never heard this kind of music…does Yuuriko also do figure skates?” Viktor
asked yet his eyes couldn’t stop to follow every of Yuuriko’s movement, she was
graceful, broken yet unstoppable like she was free from the shackle that binds
her body.
“Well technically, she’s inside Yuuri’s body so everything that boy do, she
could follow up just like a reflection in the mirror. If you guys didn’t know
about this thing, you’re all probably would have thought that they were
inseparable twins when they were on the ice and this is why people are rooting
for them to come back…”
“Yuuri, we make a promise right?” she said in her mind, in this part she had to
make a triple axel jump, Yuuri’s favorite move.
“So there you are…Vik-?!” they didn’t expect another extra guest came to watch
Yuuriko’s performance, it was Yuri Plisetsky! That we will take the gold medal
this season! Put more of your trust to me! Yuri’s eyes were widened, that
woman, she too could do the jump?!
What is that woman go on about?!
While Viktor was astonished by what his eyes saw, even though what Yuuko said
was true, that high…even for someone who could only copy the movement but to be
able to do a perfect rotation and decent high of triple axel, it’s impossible.
Maybe this Yuuriko person was not a regular woman.
Then after she turned to the barrier painted in the color of the blue she had
to do a flip jump and followed with toe loop.
!!
She nailed it, and she turned with a small spin while fluttering her arms like
she had a pair of wings behind her back.
Viktor blinked, eyes shone full of enlightenment.
“This is it…” he said to himself. All the quads and those jump, Yuri Plisetsky
had no problem with many kinds of jumps but when Yuuriko does it all, she was…
Every time she does all the jumps it appeared like she was about to leave her
body and flying into the air, it makes him shudder in anticipation and eerie,
everything she does felt so phenomenal.
Like she bewitching him, making him unable to look away.
“What the, it looks like a full set of program…”Yuri said in disbelief, he has
underestimated the piggy, he saw the woman’s step sequence, it feels something
spiritual when she makes a hand gesture like she was calling on someone.
“Yuuri always come here or to Minako sensei’s place when he felt anxious,
sometimes when he felt inspired, together with Yuuriko they choreography their
own program, although they never use it in the competition…Yuuri was the one
who does the dance as the character and Yuuriko were the ones who tells the
story behind it…”
If the pig could pull out something like this, why did he lose the Grand Prix
at that time? If those two could do something like this together, Viktor will
probably have some serious trouble.
The teenager saw at his rink mate who was still focus on looking at the female
figure who was doing her combination spin as the last part of the routine.
He never saw a beautiful Biellmann spin as Yuuriko did now.
The fast the sound of the violin was played, the faster she did the spin and
when it reached the last, she stopped and fling back her arms to the back and
raised her head, like she was finally out from everything that binds and held
her back.
At the end, she kneeled on the ice while putting one of her hand onto her chest
and the other pointed to the sky, her fingers were curled like she was
desperate to clutch someone’s arm.
 
===============================================================================
 
“Yuuriko!!! That was so cool! I never see you skate before, it was awesome.”
Yuuko shouted from the other side of the office, Viktor and Yuri gaped in
disbelief, what does Yuuko mean by the first time?
“Like what my wife said, Yuuri does all the dancing but Yuuriko never step on
the ice…” Takeshi said when he saw the two Russians were still lost in thought.
Yuuriko looked at them and knitted here eyebrows like she was displeased that
someone had been peeping here when she was doing her routine.
“What are you two staring at, it’s rude.” She said in a chilling tone and like
a spell the two gentlemen were snapped from the daydreaming.
Yuuko brought her jersey and give it to the ravenette who took it without any
comment, she didn’t have to because it would be a waste of breath if she tried
to remind Yuuko to keep out the others from watching her doing the dance.
“Ah, it’s closing time…” Yuuko said when she glance at the timer on the wall,
and like a switch had been turned off Yuuriko lose her conscious making the
other panic when they saw that.
“Yuuri!” Viktor was the first who walk towards the falling woman.
“What do we do now, Yuuko, does this happens sometimes?” he asked.
“Uh-huh, when she forced herself out, she will out of steam after that but
don’t worry, it’s nothing serious because Yuuri will return and he will on his
feet when he gets enough rest. Look.” Viktor couldn’t believe his eyes, the
female figure who he was holding right now was turning into the man.
The long black hair was no longer been seen instead it was replaced with the
short hair version.
It was Yuuri, he’s back!
“Yuuri…” Viktor said in a soft tone, his silver hair covered half of his face
so no one could see his current expression, but Yuuko could feel that he was
relieved that the real Yuuri finally came.
“Come one let’s get this guy home and leave him rest… I’ll get the key car.”
Takeshi patted on Viktor’s shoulder before he rose from his position, the
famous skater still holding Yuuri’s unconscious body.
There are so many kinds of questions that he would like to ask this boy.
How?
Why?
And much more…
“Viktor…” it was Yuuko’s voice, snapping him from his train of thought, he
looked up and see that the woman gave him a knowing look, she knew what was he
thinking right now but it wasn’t the time nor the place to ask the poor boy.
 
===============================================================================
 
“Yuuri…Yuuri, it’s time to wake up…” a familiar sound calling his name, he
blinked his eyes for adjusting the small light came crawling from the curtain.
“Yuuriko…?” he mumbled, the said girl flew and circling his laying body, the
woman looked sad and worried.
“What happened? I can’t remember anything, did you came out yesterday?” he
asked the astral girl, who was nodded her head in shame and guilt, Yuuri sighed
tiredly knowing that the others are aware of her existence there’s no turning
back.
“Yuu-Yuuri, I’m so sorry, I forced myself out when you were not ready…” Yuuri
was silent, he changes his sleeping clothes into a red striped black shirt and
black pants for a jog.
“Yuuriko, you know that if you forcing yourself out it will damage our
synchronize wave…as the result, I could damage my brain and it could turn into
amnesia… unlike you, you could remember both of my memories and yours but I
can’t…I even forgot my friends from elementary—”
Yuuriko hugged him from behind, knowing that she could see his expression but
she knew that he was upset with her behavior.
“—because of it, I just couldn’t bear the thought that someday I will forget
everything…my family, the other skaters, Viktor…and even you.”
“I’m sorry…I’m so sorry, Yuuri…I wouldn’t force myself out again…that will be
the last, I will only appear if you felt threaten or if you call me…please,
forgive me.” The two of them stayed in the spot for a few minutes, recollecting
the previous event, with Yuuriko told him that the Russian skaters watched
their performance without her knowing and earned her an earful of scolding from
Yuuri for doing something reckless.
“Geez, I just couldn’t take my eyes on you, Yuuriko…”he said after done chiding
his alter ego.
“I’m sorry but I was stressed that time…so I decided to use the rink and get
done with it…” she tried to explained the heated feeling inside her chest
towards her Yuuri, who then nodded in understanding, it wasn’t fully her fault
for doing the routine and been seen by the uninvited guests.
“Come on, let’s go downstairs, I think the others were already up…” Yuuri said
with Yuuriko following him, she floated while hugging her Yuuri on the
shoulders.
When Yuuri slid the door, he could see Viktor and Yuri were eating their
breakfast, Viktor greeted him with a bright smile while Yuri still looked at
him like a dirt he was which earned a low growl from Yuuriko, of course, the
teen couldn’t see her form but he could felt an uneasy feeling roaming around
his body, instead looking at Yuuri, the boy pretend to focus on his food.
“How are you today Yuuri? Feeling better?” Viktor asked him in a slight worry
tone but he still smiled sweetly, which earned a confused look from Yuuri, he
didn’t know what happened when Yuuriko took his body and he still doesn’t
understand what was Viktor deal, why he always smiling at him without any
apparent reason? “Uhm, I’m feeling fine, I guess?” Yuuri answered, testing the
water since he didn’t sure himself.
“Splendid! Because today I will show you the music that you two will use for
your short program, we will go to Ice Castle after we’re done with the
breakfast.
Yuri looked at his food, it was sunny side egg and French toast. He took a bite
of the food before continue eating, Viktor and Yuri watching at Yuuri munching
the food like a squirrel, a cute one.
Yuuriko glared at the oblivious men, since the look that they gave to his Yuuri
was slightly disgusting and annoying, if only she could touch them, she would
slap the bitch out of them for looking at her Yuuri with the impure look,
especially the Nikiforov guy.
“Why is he looking at you so disgustingly…it gives me the creepy vibe of it,
tell him to stop doing that.” Yuuriko whispered right next to Yuuri’s ear and
the boy spontaneously looked up from his food and sure enough, Viktor was
leaning his head onto his palm looking him with an interest look.
“Viktor…something wrong with my face?” the older male smiled before shook his
head a no.Yuuriko didn’t buy it.
Strange…
 
===============================================================================
 
“Now, I will play the first music for your short program, now listen carefully
and tell me your opinion about it.” Viktor pressed the remote button and the
two Yuris were listening to the first music, it something religious, so
innocent when Yuuriko heard the melody.
“This piece comes in two arrangements and with different themes, On Love: Eros
and Agape.”
“Have you ever thought about love?” the two males shook their head a no.
“I see, so tell what do you feel when you hear this music?”
“It’s very clear and innocent, like someone who doesn’t know what is love yet.”
Yuri looked at his side and then turned his head at Viktor.
“I don’t like this one. This innocence crap makes me wanna barf.” The teen
wriggling his tongue in disgust, Yuuri scoffed at his antics.
“Yeah, it’ll be a universe disaster if you pick this piece…your face might fool
others but inside you’re rotten to the core.” it was a sound of a feminine
voice came from Yuuri’s mouth, it was Yuuriko who commented that.
“Wha-?! You wanna go me, you fucking bi-witch?!” Yuri snapped at the timid
Japanese skater who was now trying to reprimand his alter ego to come out and
tried to choke the angry teen.
“Now.” Viktor cut them before this fighting turns into a blood war, with two
Yuris at each other throats.
“This is the second piece.” This one is different, it was livelier, fiery and
more spirit, it was mixed a sound of violin, guitar, it feels like listening
flamenco and tango combined.
“It’s more lively…” said Yuuri, he felt Yuuriko stirred up when she heard the
second music, her eyes were shining in delight like she found an enlightenment,
he wondered if she like this piece compare the first one.
“Viktor, I want this one.” Yuri glanced again at Yuuri dared him to choose the
same piece as him.
“Yuuri, I think you should take the first piece, it fits with your image and
persona, I can feel it!” said Yuuriko in delight although there’s a slight
disappointment in her eyes when she facing him still flowing in the air.
“But…” I thought you wanted the second piece?
“The first piece is called On Love: Agape, the theme is unconditional love.”
Yuuriko grinned it was a perfect theme for her Yuuri, while the said male
nodded in understanding.
“While this one is called On Love: Eros, the theme is sexual love.” Yuri smiled
and nodded with a smug expression.
“I’ll have you two skate to these opposing themes and this is how I’m assigning
them.” Viktor gave them a serious look before pointing at Yuuri first.
“Yuuri, you will skate to Eros!” he pointed at Yuri.
“Yurio, you will skate Agape, instead!” they were dumbfounded at first before
everything clicks on.
…
…
“Fucking switch them! That piece isn’t me at all!”
“Eh, eh?!” Viktor smiled at them innocently before answering their protest
about the assignment.
“But you have to do the opposite of what people would expect. How else will you
guys surprise them? That’s my motto.” Yuuriko had the feeling that guy will use
that kind of answer in order to silence the two Yuris.
Well, I had no problem with that since I already come up a good story for the
Eros, the problem was how will Yuuri accepted this song and did he had any
confidence to be something that he wasn’t used to. Yuuriko mused while looking
at her Yuuri with a slight concern.
“Actually, you’re both far mediocre and ordinary than you think.” This guy
needs to shut his mouth for a while, Yuuriko shot a deathly glare at the
silver-haired skater.
“You need to be more self-aware, you know?” Yuri and Yuuri were shocked when
Viktor said that he was surprised that they actually could choose their own
image.
“But in audience perspective, both of you are just a piglet and a kitten having
a fight. If you guys aren’t up to my standards by next week, I won’t
choreograph either of your programs.” Viktor pointed at the two Yuris,
challenging them to be at their best at the competition.
“Both of you are my fans, I’m sure you guys are able to pull it through,
though.” He touched his lips with his point finger, examining their reaction.
Yuuri was in thoughts, will he be able to manage and surpass Viktor’s
expectations? Yuuriko will help him sure but will it be enough for both of
them?
“Fine.” He heard Yuri said in determination.
“I’ll skate on Agape since my senior debut depends on this! So you better give
me a good damn program that could make me win!” Yuri stomped on the ice rink
facing the taller Russian, who was giving him a look and smile like he was
looking at a small cat throwing rampage.
“Well, that depends on you, whether you’ll win or not. If it was me, I will win
for sure.” He replied with a hint of mock and cockiness, Yuri tempted to wiped
that annoying expression by spraying him using the ice underneath his blade
skate.
“If I win, you’ll drag your ass back to Russia and be my coach!” Yuri already
stated his winning condition.
“Sure.” Viktor said flippantly.
Yuuri widened his eyes, didn’t Viktor promising him that he will be his coach?
But now, if somehow Yuri won the competition that means…
Yuuri…
Will he be alone again?
No, you still got me!
“What about you Yuuri?” they turned to the stood still Japanese.
“Eh?”
“If you win, what would you like to do?” Viktor replied again his question
apparently he didn’t get the first question, so the taller male replying again
the similar question.
What…
I want?
If I win?
Could I win this?
“Trust yourself more Yuuri, and don’t forget you still have me as your partner.
I promised you, we will be able to do this!” Yuuriko voice echoed inside his
head, making all the negative thoughts vanished from his mind.
“Try to remember what do like most and want to grab right now.” Yuuriko
soothing voice whispered in his left ear.
“Katsudon…I want to eat Katsudon again with Viktor…” this earned a confused
look from Viktor and disbelief stare from Yuri.
Good, there’s no turning back now, Yuuri! Say it!
“I want to keep winning and eat many Katsudon with Viktor.” Yuuriko smiled in
understanding since she knows that Yuuri by nature was the type who didn’t want
to lose on anyone and he was a bit competitive person, it was a scary yet
beautiful persona that her Yuuri possessed.
“So that’s why I will skate Eros and I will give it all the Eros I’ve got!” he
declared with confident, something that he forgot that he had one but never be
able to convey it.
Viktor’s lips were trembling and he smiled so widely, even his eyes shook in
delight.
“That’s it…that’s exactly what I like!” Yuuriko looked again at the weird
Russian skater when she saw that expression of Viktor.
She knew the expression that this male held right now, it wasn’t difficult if
you’re part of an astral being and a very observant one.
Those eyes…
They were screaming in love…
Which something she feared most.

     the poor quality]
See the end of the chapter for more notes
“So, I will play Yurio’s part,” Viktor said and allowed Yuuri to press the play
button, the same song of a young woman’s voice could be heard and Viktor was
dancing in the ice like he was an angel, learning to know love.
“Agape… an unconditional love, God’s love which was infinite, self-sacrificing
and uncalculating…” Yuuri watched in full content like he was experiencing
something so holy and sacred, an angel who shares an undivided love.
“It’s very difficult if Victor could pull it off…what about Yuri?” the raventte
glance to his side where the young blond kid was watching the performance, his
green eyes was capturing every Viktor’s graceful moves on the ice.
Yuuriko was also watching at the silver-haired man, her expression was
unreadable, her eyes were gleaming and she was giving a contemplated look like
she was trying to figure something about the choreography but couldn’t pin
point what is.
“Well something like that, how about it?” Viktor was done with the routine;
Yuuri blinked in realization while Yurio shares a bored look and said that he
got the gist of it, once again surprising Yuuri.
“Now, it’s Yuuri’s turn.” Yuuko was kind enough to volunteer by helping them
pushing play button so Yuuri could focus more on Viktor’s choreography,
although he could hear Yuuriko was scoffed at the excuse and mumbled that the
brunette just wants to see her idol was doing some action.
Then he heard the string of guitar which was a cue for Victor to start his
first step, he gracefully twirled his hands and make a seductive smile by
tossing a look that managed to make Yuuko nosebleed and Yuuriko’s eyes twitch
in annoyance.
“Guwaah!” both Yuris were terrified at the effect when they saw the brunette
was sprawling on the floor, Yuri tried to hold the fainted woman and asked if
she was okay, while Yuuri and Yuuriko keep watching the performance with a
calculative look.
“This…this…this is too much, this is too much of Eros even a man like me could
be pregnant any second!” Yuuri was blushing profusely and shaking in
embarrassment, the Viktor in front of him was a dangerous species and no one
could look away when his gaze was fixated on them, in this case, Yuuri.
"He spores the whole rink with pheromone-like an animal in heat what do you
think, Yu—eh Yuuri?!"Yuuriko was aghast when she saw her Yuuri was standing
rooted to the ground with a bashful look, just like a young maiden been seduced
by an incubus.
“Can I, can I skate this…?” Yuuri held his face, a dilemma between how
embarrassing he was and how could he skate something that wasn’t him? Everyone
knows him as a skater with a fragile ice-heart and skating something so
seductive and wild like Eros wasn’t completely portraying him.
But Viktor said that he couldn’t make an image of himself, the public who came
to watch the competition was the one who deciding his image, whether he was
just a plain Yuuri Katsuki or a seductive player Yuuri Katsuki.
“Okay, Yuuri how do you think?” then he snapped from his thought and saw Viktor
was standing in front of him with a knowing smile like he was caught doing
something naughty behind Viktor’s back.
“Oh, uhm, it was very Eros!” he answered with a stiff posture like he was in a
military training, Viktor smiled softly and agreed with the opinion.
“I know right? Now let’s talking about the program composition, what kind of
quads can you land?” Viktor cooked his hips to the left side, purposely to make
Yuuri flustered again and Yuuriko was screeching in detest.
“Oh, I can do toe loop, I can land salchow in practice but never in the
competition…bu-but I think I can do it if I try hard!” Yuuri didn’t know who he
was trying to convince, toward Viktor or to himself? Viktor touched his lips
with his pointer finger and then gave a conclusion.
“Okay, then you can practice the basics. I’ll teach Yurio first.” He said
flippantly.
“Eh?”
“Since I won’t teach you anything you can’t do right now.” Viktor reasoned with
him.
“Just how many times you have messed up during competition.” Yurio on the other
side of the barrier was smugly smirking at the reminder, Yuuriko gave a death
glare at the blonde Russian then averted her cold gaze back to Viktor.
She really hated these two pompous Russian, if only Yuuri let her switch bodies
for just a minute, she’ll show them a thing or two about bullying her Yuuri,
after all, she still had unfinished business with them, especially the
Plisetsky brat.
“You have the skill to win, why can’t you make it happen?”
“Well, that probably…”
‘We both know this better than anyone, yuuri…’
“Because I (we) lacked confidence…” Yuuri answered truthfully, Viktor ignored
the other word of ‘we’ since he knows it direct towards the other Yuuri and he
could feel the atmosphere was a little dampened when they were discussing
Yuuri’s lack of confidence.
“Yup, that’s why it’s my job to make you feel confidence in yourself.” He
skates slowly towards the Japanese skater and with a blink of ice Viktor was
standing so closely in front of his face, his dainty finger touched Yuuri’s
chin and lifted his head so gently.
The two male was staring at each other’s eyes, Viktor was rubbing the bottom of
Yuuri’s lips, feeling the soft yet chapped lips under his thumb, Yuuri was
paralyzed with the intimate motion, he was trapped with Viktor’s blue eyes,
like the silver-haired male could see inside his soul through the penetrating
look.
“OY, VIKTOR, AREN’T YOU GONNA TEACH ME FIRST, YA ASSWIPE!” Yuuriko had to thank
the little Yuri to yelled at them before she could rip off Viktor’s hand away
from Yuuri's plump lips.
"Yuuri!" she immediately floated and encircling her arms around Yuuri’s neck,
protecting him from the thirsty beast called Viktor Nikiforov.
“I’m okay…just a bit shakin up…” Yuuri said after he calmed his poor heart for
beating so hard, Yuuriko narrowed her eyes at the ravenette but decided not to
pry more, instead, she turned her view at the two Russian skaters, her eyes
followed their movement and conversation but her head was still steady facing
Yuuri. She never likes uninvited guests after all.
“Yuuri, I think we need to think hard what Eros meant for us…just leave those
guys alone.” Yuuriko said in firm tone and it is final for Yuuri, he can’t
protest at her words and leave the two skaters.
Takeshi was kind enough for helping him to cool down after the training, Yuuri
already pictured a story of a Casanova went into a town and swooned every woman
he could found, then when he heard the most beautiful woman in the town, he
already set a mission to woo her and win her heart yet the woman was never
persuaded by his sweet words and the two were playing the love game.
“Then after she couldn’t make a right decision and fell to his hand, at the
same time the man got bored and leave her then continue his journey to the next
city.” Yuuri finished his story with a pose while standing on the bench,
Takeshi clapped his hand and with a flat tone complementing the skater.
“But still…that’s totally not you.” He said in morbid expression.
“How about you change the main story, Victor will never know the difference.”
The large man suggested
“If it’s Viktor he could pull it off since he was a genius but he also said
that I need to do that in my own way interpret the dance…” Yuuri said when he
remembered Viktor told him to think harder about Eros and this story was the
closest on how he should portray when he saw Viktor’s choreograph.
“You never skate such program, where you had to express love and that kind of
erotic sense, right?” his friend says, both Yuuri and Yuuriko knew from the
experience on how he portrays himself as a person who never knew love and how
should they express it.
“Yeah, I just hope I could be better and skate the same ice as Victor though…”
“You think, you could do better than Viktor?” when he realize he mumbled loud
enough for Takeshi to heard it, the tanned man smirked in a mocking way ready
to spew out some words that mostly will lower his self-confidence.
“Wa-wait what I meant is—!!!”
“Well, there’s no way you could beat the most handsome and famous bachelor in
the world when it comes of sexiness.” although Yuuri knows that the big guy
didn’t mean any harm but the what’s done is done, Yuuriko was furious and she
didn’t hesitate to glare the older male.
“Since you’re still a virgin though hahahahaaa~!!!” that does it, she threw an
object and it flew passing Takeshi’s right ear, almost scratching him.
It was a trash can.
…
…
…
“Let’s just call it a day, yeah?”
“Yeah…”
 
===============================================================================
 
Meanwhile…
“No, it’s not good enough, there’s no Agape in it!” Viktor and Yuri were still
on the ice rink, the blonde Russian panted heavily when the silver haired man
stopped him in the middle of his skating.
“I…pant…pant…just don’t get it, where did I go wrong, huh?! I did everything
just like you showed me!” Yuri spoke in the middle of taking a breather, he
bends half of his torso and grasped the fabric of his trouser.
“It’s just I can’t see the Agape in you, Yurio…you see, once you know what
Agape meant for you, you’ll be able to go to the second steps…sure, you dance
and skate beautifully enough to copy mine and everyone would enamor when they
saw it but…”
“You’re too greedy and ambitious.” it jabbed him through the heart.
“It’s good to have a confident but too much of it will cover the inner beauty
and its meaning. The Pureness.” Yuri had enough with beauty this and pure that,
Viktor said that he lacks purity or some shit, well fuck that!
“Then, what do you think of Agape, Viktor?!” instead of a clear answer, the
older male was laughing softly and it felts like he had been treated as a child
by the other skater no, more like a baby.
“It’s a feeling, of course, I couldn’t tell you about it, why do you have to
think so hard about something that couldn’t be explained so scientific?” the
Russian Tiger gritted his teeth in frustration about it.
“What you need is a religious activity and meditate, I know, let’s go to the
temple right now!” he suggest even though it doesn’t concern Yuri’s protest
about the idea.
“What?!” the two Russians were rushed to the temple in Hasetsu, thanks for the
kindness of Yuuko by taking them to one of the family’s temple, Viktor forced
his way to the head priest in order to guide his young rinkmate to find the
meaning of pureness and unconditional love by participating the Zen meditation,
which in Yuri’s own self-translated was: Being_whipped_with_a_wooden_stick_on
your_shoulder_if_you_fucked_it_up.
Which resulting him being whipped by the priest for talking crassly at his
young age.
When they got back, Yuuri stared at the two skaters with a questioning look
although Yuri’s penetrate glare managed to shut him up for asking, he asked one
of the staff to prepare some cold towel for Yuri, since the boy looked like his
soul has been sucked out from his body while Viktor was looking pretty much the
same like he was in the morning, chipper and noisy.
“Come on, let’s go to the onsen…I mean the hot spring, thought you guys could
use some of it.” He walked ahead first to make sure that the Rotenburo room is
ready, they soaked in the hot spring and let out a relief mixed with a tired
sigh.
Yuuri was thinking hard about his previous talk with Takeshi and Yuuriko’s
advice about thinking something so desirable and makes him loses his mind
completely. The only thing that he could list on his mind right now, is about
sexiness and eroticism, which in Yuuriko’s case was a no-no, since it will lead
them to nowhere for depending something from the outside.
"Yuuri, maybe it’s time for us to head back, if you stay up longer without
eating dinner, it will be bad for your body…" Yuuriko’s soothing voice helped
him relax, by the time he’s about to stand up from the pool, Viktor had to show
up and standing in front of the two Yuris with his glorious naked body.
The two of Yuris were looking at him tiredly, even Yuuri was too dead tired to
express his shyness in front of his naked idol while Yuuriko had a thought that
the silver-haired man in front of her was mentally ill and fancy of being an
exhibitionist as his future career.
“Hey you guys, how about taking a photo of me in the hot spring?” in an instant
Yuuri flatly declined the suggestion by saying that they’re not allowed to take
any picture inside of the hot spring, Viktor gave out a dramatically gasp when
he heard it.
Once the three skaters were out from the hot spring, Yuri and Yuuri was leaning
on the dinner table and Viktor was still energetic to enjoy the delicacy of
Yuuri’s mother’s cook. Yuuriko flew on the air with a worried look at her
Yuuri, she encircled her hands around the Japanese male’s body to soothing his
warm body, she rubbed her cheek on the top of Yuuri’s head and inhaled the
flowery smell from the shampoo, she loved it.
While Yuuri was trying so hard on thinking what Yuuriko just told him in the
afternoon, the two of them decided to discuss the meaning of Eros based on
their perspective. Yuuriko said that she couldn’t see Yuuri as a playboy
because it is not him, even though how hard he tried to be it, she couldn’t
just get the grasp of it, instead she told him to think something, anything
that he so desires and couldn’t bear to have it, makes him crazy enough just by
thinking of it.
The woman also said it could be something abstract, it doesn’t have to refer to
any beings or object, it could be something far from his mind yet closed to him
all the time. Then when he saw the bowl of his favorite food, a bowl of warm
Katsudon, he unconsciously blurts it out.
“That’s it, it was Katsudon, this is my Eros!” Viktor and Yuri shared an
incredulous look, the teen commented about how in the hell Yuuri had the absurd
idea of using a bowl of rice as his inspiration and even said that Yuuri
already lost his mind, which causes his food fell down to his lap. Yuri
screeched in panic when he saw his dinner was ruined.
“Shit, is this your girl's doing, Piggy?!” next it was his drink got splashed
on the tatami floor, Yuri then closed his mouth and looked around to see if
Yuuriko will throw any kinds object towards him.
Yuuri looked to his left, right on the corner where the TV was stand on the
drawer table and stared there for a long time, enough to send chills on both
the Russian males’ spine, since the way Yuuri stare without even blinking was
enough proof that he was looking at his alter ego.
“W-well, I think that’s a start, we could use food as a concept, then.” He said
while whipping the sweat on his forehead, although he was glad that Yuuri
finally found the inspiration of Eros, he couldn’t help but felt…unsatisfied
and bothered by the fact that he was expecting something far from that.
Something that could make him felt he was inside of Yuuri’s circle.
Something that could make him felt needed by the Japanese skater.
Something that could make him felt that he was…
What?
He was what?
What was he in Yuuri’s eyes?
He keeps staring at the tow Yuris engaged on a small talk about Yuuri apologise
for Yuuriko’s outburst and Yuri was sitting dumbfound at the gesture since he
just got poltergeist-ed by the said alter ego.
Unknown to him that a certain female with dark hair and red wine eyes were
shifting her glare from Yuri towards him, Yuuriko’s eyes gives a glow and
calculating look when she saw how Viktor slowly changed his facial expression
from panicking to disappointment and it result in something that she never saw
when she spends her time observing him…
Viktor’s expression hardened and his eyebrows were knitting, enough to see a
wrinkle on his forehead, his lips were curling upward and his eyes shows a
determination.
She really needs to keep Viktor out from Yuuri’s life, if she considers him as
a threat, no, he was a potential threat at the beginning he set foot in front
of Yu-topia and that was her first mistake not to realize it, she had to fix
this before her Yuuri got hurt.
She never trusts any human in her life, especially a shining person such as
Viktor Nikiforov.
 
===============================================================================
 
They spend days after days practicing on the rink, jogging near Hasetsu Castle
and of course one of Yurio’s favorite activities, meditate at the waterfall.
He really enjoys meditating at the waterfall, if Viktor recommends it then he
will do it without any complain if that what it takes to beat Katsudon.
Yup, he really likes the cold sensation from the fresh water came down from the
stream. He is totally in.
…
…
...
He's going to scream, really loud.
Hahaha, no seriously, he hates it so much.
He was going to kill Viktor if he gets sick.
...
“Why the fuck I had to do this shit…” he grumbled while next to him was none
other than Yuuri Katsuki himself who were also complaining the same thing.
“Agape this, Agape that…screw with that, who has a time for Agape…” Yurio
mumbles until when he felt how heavy and hard for him to keep both of his eyes
open, he saw the flashback of the cold day of Rusia.
He walks with his Dedushka after the practice, young Yuratchka said that he was
fine if his mother wasn’t there to watch him skating and his grandpa was
smiling so proudly at him.
Then he heard a soft voice came out from another man, a lot younger.
“Yurio..are you okay? I think we had enough for today…” he saw the soft and
gentle image portrayed on Yuuri, the same face that his grandfather used to
show when he achieved something or he won the competition, Yurio was still in a
daze and he gave a small nod at the Japanese.
Yuuriko looked at the young skater carefully, Yuuri might not notice it but she
knew the way that Russian punk see her Yuuri was different, unlike Viktor who
so obviously show his interest with Japanese skater.
She made a mental note to talk eye to eye to the brat when she gets her chance.
In the afternoon, the two Yuris decided to search for Viktor and ended up
eating together at the local ramen called Nagahama Ramen.
===============================================================================
 
Three_hours_earlier_before_the_waterfall
Yuuriko was taking charge of Yuuri’s body and in the middle of jogging in the
park, she tied her hair into a high ponytail with an earphone plugged in her
ears playing a blaring music.
Although it was Yuuri who usually do the hard and the heavy work when it comes
to exercising but she also had her own fair of share in order not to burden
Yuuri more than enough, she always uses this opportunity to increase her
stamina in order to balance Yuuri’s.
So far she was succeeded and not planning on stopping this routine anytime, it
felt something religious and sacred in her own opinion. When they were in
middle school, she had the same stamina and running record as Yuuri which gives
her the upper hand to protect her Yuuri from the jealous students and the
bullies.
She stopped when she reached the upper stone stairs of Hasetsu castle, the warm
breeze of springs soothes her and it managed to motivate her to proceed to the
next exercise, dancing. She plugged out the earphone and max up the volume of
her phone, she makes a mental note to bring her portable speaker the next time
she came to practicing.
The song of Eros came out from the phone’s speaker and she swung her long limbs
so elegantly and make a small but fast spin before throwing a seductive smile
to particularly no one, though she hoped she could show it and make the only
person she loved will blushing so madly.
Unfortunately fate was cruel, instead, she trapped inside her beloved one and
she could do nothing about it but accept the fact that she will be with him
only as part of his alter-ego, personality that has been set to protect him…
Not to love him.
“Once upon a time, a woman befriends with the most beautiful woman in the city,
the two of them were inseparable like they were siblings…”
“One day a handsome man came into their town and managed to swoon every woman
he met,all those women ended up alone on the bed without the playboys’ warmth.
The woman was worried abouther best friend, even though she was bright and
smart enough to know that the man was a playboy but still… she felt something
is not right…”
Yuuriko clapped her hand to the air and make a small pirouette spin instead of
the usual step.
“The playboy was invited to the ball, where he met the most beautiful woman in
the town with her friend, she keeps an eye to the man and warned her friend not
to be fooled and swayed with his sweet words and every promise that he spew
out…” The ravenette once again make a small circle and the sound of the violin
strings getting faster.
“Her friend could see what the man aim for and she was not persuaded so easily,
they play the game of love and while her best friend was worried that someday
she will fall to the man’s trap…”
“In the end, she did fell in love to the man and she was too late…her friend,
the only and the most beautiful woman that she fell in love with was broken,
the man left without any guilt and off to the next city, leaving her poor best
friend heartbroken…”
“She couldn’t tell her…she will never be, because she was too late and she will
never confess to her friend about her feeling…she will have to keep her
feelings to herself and bury it insideherself…”
 Because she will hurt her more if she says ‘I love you’ to her friend Because
                            she was betrayed once…
  And no one knows if her broken hearted friend will love her back, not after
                              what that man did…
  She will swear in her grave she will never say those three words, not even
                       mumbling or mentioning it either…
                 This is the punishment that was fit for her…
 In the end, she was the fool one when she clearly saw what the man was up to…
                                Indeed a fool.
“Then she decided to toss her heart away and start everything from the square
one, she hugged her friend and pretend as the usual best friend she was…” in
the end of the last step, she end the song by making a tossing movement like
she was throw everything that she held dear once and proceed to hug someone in
a thin air, Yuuriko was giving a heavy look when she did the hug pose, like she
was actually hugging a person.
                            She gave up everything…
                                 All for love…
She panted and gasped when the song was ended, she could never see Eros the was
Yuuri saw it in Viktor, when she saw it, she felt like her maternal instinct
and protectiveness was emerge, she was not the beautiful woman in the town nor
she was the playboy in the story either.
She was just a bystander, a person that wasn’t in the story but she managed to
get in but only as a friend, an expandable character.
She doesn’t exist in the first place.
But she wants to fit in, that’s why she warned the woman to be careful with
everything that the man gave to her since she could see the truth yet she
couldn’t do anything about it, she couldn’t undo everything that already has
been done.
She heard a clap, she looked up and saw the last person she wanted to see right
now.
“Splendid!” the same familiar and annoying voice praised her.
“Viktor Nikiforov…” she spat out heavily, the man doesn’t seem to be offended
by the harsh welcome, he walked casually towards the raventte and gave a warm
smile like he did to most of the people he met.
“What are you doing here? You’re not with that midget…” she could see the angry
dwarf was not following the older man, Viktor chuckled at the comment.
“Well, he was exploring, since I let him off the hook for a while, so why not…”
he shrugged. “You haven’t answered my first question, what are you doing here?”
Yuuriko crossed her arms shoot him an uninterested look.
“Well, I was hoping I could talk with the other Yuuri…and when I heard from
your mother, that you were taking in charge today, so I decided to ask the
locals here if they saw you. They say that you usually go to this place for
practicing your ballet…”
“And I guess the point is I want to know what is Eros to you?” that caught her
off guard when Viktor asked her that, seeing that she didn’t reply was a sign
for Viktor continue.
“When I saw the way you dance, it was a perfect copy of Yuuri but still I could
see there’s the difference, Yuuri view Eros as something so appealing that you
couldn’t turn away no matter what because it was tempting and you want it right
away… Yuuri managed to use Katsudon as the main focus of what he is, appealing
enough to make you keep your eyes on him when he was skating,”
“And same as Yurio, I’m sure if he do the next meditation correctly, he will
get what he was looking for… his unconditional love, although I will never know
what is, but I think I could guess what it is…” he gave her a knowing smile
when he mention Yuri’s name.
“So why do you need to know about mine? The one who will compete was Yuuri…”
Yuuriko didn’t see the point of it, Yuuri was the one who will be competing
with that squirt not her, she was there as his moral support and also as his
inner support in a supernatural way.
“Because you were also part of him…” She widened her eyes when Viktor blurted
it out.
“It’s not a theory but just my speculation but based on Yuuri’s act when I
assigned him an Eros, he felt something wrong and looked like he was asking for
your consideration, well I cannot see your form, still though…” Yuuriko really
underestimate this man’s observation, everything that involves Yuuri this man
will catching on like he wants to know more about her Yuuri in an obsessed way,
she felt the goosebumps when she glared the man.
“What are you getting at?”
“You do not approve of my choice…” he replied.
“I never approve of everything you had in store for Yuuri…” she corrected.
“But why you should know that by making Yuuri out of his comfort zone will be a
good benefit for him and he has the potential to win the gold…”
“And what if he can’t?! Yuuri was not a playtoy that you could play as you
please and toss around, even though I know what are you planning for Yuuri in
the future I will see to it whether it was harmful or not for him…” The tension
was getting heating up with the two people, Yuuriko was giving him a hard look
while Viktor was also doing the same. Both of them know that they were not in
the same wavelength.
“You can’t control him, if he wants to change, you just have to accept it and
support him.” Viktor said more firmly than before, but she wouldn’t back off,
no matter how tall the older male in front of her.
“You said yourself, I’m part of him…I got something to say about Yuuri’s
decision and I’m not backing away, just because Yuuri trust you…” she paused.
“But it doesn’t mean that I have to trust you too.” She continued and gave a
murderous look at the taller male. Viktor then sighed and shrugged both of his
shoulders.
“Well, I can exactly force you to like me…” the silver haired man walked down
the stairs before he went further, he turned his head from his shoulder briefly
towards the woman who was still rooted to the ground.
“…about Yuuri though…” her body suddenly becomes rigid and she looked at the
Russian from the corner of her eyes. She knew when she saw those pale blue eyes
staring back at her red eyes, those eyes that had been haunting her.
This is a sign.
“I really serious…about everything…everything about him.” Then he left the
woman alone, yuuriko didn’t like it at all, it feels like she was losing
something from Viktor, she was left alone with lots of thoughts that someday…
Someday, what?
She clenched both of her fingers, she didn’t even notice how pale her hands and
how she could taste of iron flavor coming out from the corner of her plump
lips.
If Viktor thinks that he could take Yuuri from her, he was sorely mistaken for
underestimate her own love for Yuuri. Yuuri was the only one who knows her
best. He is the first one who acknowledges her…no when everyone…left her.
Forgotten her…
Replacing her from the painful memories to the nostalgic ones…
But Yuuri was different, he accepts her, for what she was…
She wasn’t just a mere sphere…
Just Yuuriko.
That is why… She turned to the bench where her phone was lying on it, she
unlocked the screen and scrolled the list of her music library, she pressed the
play button and start with the first position.
“That is why I had to express my own Eros!” she twirled her hands and bend her
upper body gracefully, she felt something inside of her burning and for once of
her life she too want to show her Eros towards the people other than Yuuri.
My Eros wasn’t something that will make all the men guilt with pleasure.
I never aim to be the playboy who will do anything to quenched his thirst by
fallen into a mere lust. I’m not…an Eros, I will never be an Eros.
My love was never requited in the first place, my love was akin to the love of
friendship and held no boundaries, unlike Eros, it could never be more…
This is the first time, she dances the full routine and felt all the muscles in
her system painfully sore, but she could not stop, not until she finished the
story of her young and unrequited love towards her own best friend.
She imagined, Yuuri was weeping on the floor, feeling the despair and how his
wailing broke her heart, she could not do anything but to held her best friend
so dearly, she hugged him so tightly after throwing her hearts away in order to
be with his side and never leave.
The sound of the violin turned so fast and she had to make a spin, before doing
the last step. She tossed everything and then proceeds to hug her friend with
an unreadable expression written on her face. The song has ended, and finally
she let out a large breath and panted heavily, she held both of her shaking
knees and set the rhythm of her heartbeat before she breathes normally.
“This is it…” she looked down at her palm and wrapped it tightly, feeling
satisfied with her feelings about Eros. it doesn’t look like an Eros to her,
not what Yuuri and Viktor have shown but it was something that she couldn’t
change, because it was a matter of feelings and how she interpreted the story
behind the dance.
“What was that…” unbeknownst to her, she had a small audience watching her all
this time, she narrowed her eyes when she saw the second person she doesn't
want to see right now, not when she finally found her muse. It was Yuri
Plisetsky.
“After Nikiforov and now it’s you…” she said under her breath, feeling not in
the mood to face a kid with a teenage crisis, she pulled out the hair band
since she felt it became loose after the dance, she waved her hair and didn’t
notice the pair of green eyes were following the movement of her smooth and
silky black hair.
Without noticing the words that suddenly came out from his mouth, he spoke.
“Your hair…” she turned at the blonde skater, she heard him correctly right?
She shot him a questioning look and soon the boy realized what the hell did he
just said.
“Did you just talking about my hair?” the boy made a noise between gasping for
air and choked his saliva when she asked him.
“Wh- what?! No fucking way in hell, why – why would I talking about your stupid
hair?!” Yuuriko raised a brow at him before proceeding to tie up her hair.
“Whatever, we had to do something those nasty vocabularies of yours though.
Kids with age like you shouldn’t spit out any crass words every time they talk
ya’know?” she pointed out every time Yurio swear like a mad sailor.
“You got a problem with that? That’s how I usually talk.” Yurio said.
“I don’t mind you talk like you’re a grumpy thirty old man but never speak that
kind of tone whenever my Yuuri’s around, he’s not at the best when it comes to
socializing and talking with a midget who had a teenage identity crisis is not
going to help him.”
“The fuck, you wanna go, witch?!”
“At least you’re not gonna use the word starts with a B and end with an H… I
would slap and knock off all of your front teeth if you do that.” She speaks
based on the experience, she had no problem when someone talks shit about her
but when Yuuri’s name was mentioned and worst of all if someone dared to say
that she was a bitch, good luck on finding any dentist who willing to set all
those broken teeth into normal.
Yuri decided not to press the matter further and gave the response by saying
‘Whatever’ at the ravenette. Glad that someone got the picture already.
“So this is what you’re up to every time you took Katsudon’s body…?” she shot
him a warning glare before to cool off her body, Yurio doesn’t seem to be
affected by her glare, it’s like he knew that she didn’t have any intentions to
hurt him for asking.
“I’m not taking his body or anything, Yuuri allowed me to.” Sensing that the
boy on the bench didn’t understand, she sighed and starts to explain.
“As you can see and probably heard from the Nishigoris that I’m part of Yuuri,
I’m only awake when Yuuri was in danger or feeling depressed, but I only acted
as the shield, I’m here to protect him from those who are trying to hurt him
both physically or mentally…”
“Most of the people with this kind of condition will do anything in their power
to deflect or to contain the other they because it was not them, feeling that
the alter ego inside of them was the reason of their inferiority…” she never
knew or met any person who had the same condition as her and Yuuri but she can
conclude that not everyone were open arms to their situation.
“But Yuuri…he accepted me without any feelings of obligation like he was forced
to, at first he wasn’t sure whether I will appear without his consent since I
was problematic and unpredictable but he was willing to try…and here we are
together until you guys decided to show up in this place…” she finished her
explanation with a bitter tone feeling something inside the young Plisetsky
throb in a pain.
“It’s not my doing, Viktor was the one who decides that he will coach that
Katsudon of yours…I’m the first person who asked him to be my coach but that
asshole forgot it…he thought it was just a small pink swear for kids.” Yuuriko
looked at the young skater slumped his shoulder in a tired manner.
“I think I could understand that…when Viktor came to Hasetsu, I felt something
fishy about him…well, I still am and when I heard that he made a challenge for
both of you, about who he should coach for this season, something inside of me
burned, it was like he was not that serious on coaching anyone…feeling that
this is some sort of game…and I’m not going to let him do as his please with my
Yuuri.” Yuri looked at the older woman, and he felt something special about her
determination on protecting Yuuri.
“So that’s why you choked out on Viktor’s life and threatened him not to hurt
Katsudon, huh…” she huffed at one of the strands of her hair.
“It was part of my nature, I was set, no, I really do care about Yuuri, he
deserves everything good for him once a while…” The two of them were seated for
a minute before the ravenette stood from her seat and look down at her
competitor.
“All right that’s enough of this awkwardness, we’re not going easy on you,
brat. Just prepare for some ass kicking at the competition and after that, I
will personally deliver a swift a footprint on Nikiforov’s wrinkling ass.” Yuri
snorted at the words, this woman has no filter when it comes to talking
vulgarly, and she was the one who asked him not to speak so crassly. He gave
her a smirk and up for the challenge.
“Heh, actually Yuuriko, you’re kinda cool to talk to and I also am not going
easy on you guys, so prepare for the ass kicking with my skate.” The two Yuris
shook their hands with a firm grip, the two of them are showing no restraint to
each other for tomorrow.
“Come now, Viktor called us, he said he has another agenda for us…” Yuri said
while Yuuriko takes a small breath before she followed the younger skater.
Little did the two know that a certain silver haired man was there in the whole
time and hear all their talking, his blue eyes were staring in a deep thought
and he looking up to the bright blue sky.
“Yuuri…”
 
===============================================================================
 
 
After_the_practice_and_the_waterfall_meditation
Yuuri felt nervous since tomorrow was the big day for him, he was going to
compete with Yuri Plisetsky in order to take his position as Viktor’s student,
Yuuriko seemed calm enough and not fussing about the competition.
She usually nagging him about how well prepare was him or did he get enough of
rest for the competition and much more, but when he looked around she was
floating like she had no any kinds of worries about his condition. Even though
she was tempted to boil and fry Yurio when the Russian skater said that Yuuri
was lame at landing a quad salchow during practice, Yuuriko was lenient enough
to let the kid off the hook, thanks for the Yuuri persuasive word.
The three of them were currently in the dining room with Minako who decide to
tag along before commenting about the costumes they should wear for the
competition.
“Oh yeah, I never thought about that…”
“I also didn’t bring any costume with me.”
“Well, since someone decided to train us non-stop and totally forgot about the
clothes…” Yuuriko commented and encircling her arms around the Japanese
skater’s neck, she rubbed her cheek playfully on top of Yuuri’s hair.
“You know that everyone has been busy, Yuuriko…”he didn’t notice that the two
Russians were staring at him warily, especially Yurio since he couldn’t see
Yuuriko’s form and Viktor shot an annoyed look at to no one in particular it
feels like he could guess that Yuuri's alter ego was mocking him while Minako
seemed to be just fine with the view, perhaps she already used to it.
“I didn’t even bring any costume with me too.” Said Yurio while in the middle
of munching his dinner, Viktor gulped down his beer and let out a loud sigh,
the two Yuris gave him a questioning look.
“Puwwah, don’t worry about that, I already take care of it, I had them send all
the costumes I’ve ever worn in competition from Russia!” sure enough inside of
Viktor’s banquet room were filled with lots of bags and suits of costumes from
Viktor’s previous competition.
Yuuri scanned all the costume while Yuuriko inspecting the size of it, Yuri
pulled one of the cloths and commented on how some of them looked very stupid
and funny but it didn’t change any of Yuuri’s personal opinion about the fact
he managed to touch one of Viktor’s old costumes.
He listed and knew all those costumes, Yuuriko shot him an impressed look and
from the corner of her eyes Viktor also was staring him in awe and wonder, she
pretends to block Yuuri’s vision from seeing Viktor’s funny expression.
Yuuri hasn't found any costume that fits his persona yet, he even ignores
Yuri’s childish order not to pick any costume which is far cooler than his,
Yuuriko decided to make a small shove at the large trunk filled with other
clothes to shut Yuri up.
Then he stumbled across on something dark yet shiny, he picked the black
costume with rhinestones encircling the right shoulder and around the waist,
the lower part was adorned with a half short skirt making it a bit feminine
when Yuuri stare up.
It was the old costume when Viktor was in his Junior World competition.
“This is from the Junior World Championship.” He said in recognition, Viktor
tilted his head and smiled at the costume.
“Ah, yes, I had a long hair at that time, so my costume suggested both male and
female genders at once.” He explained.
Yuuri remember when he was eleven, he saw the young Viktor skate with the same
costume and he was enthralled to see, like a wonder. He gripped the edge of the
clothes and smiled widely, so full of energy and he felt something warm came
inside his body.
“I decided, I will use this one!” he said loudly with full of determination.
“I have to agree, it really fits you and the character for Eros..." Even
Yuuriko agreed to his judgment, she scanned at the quality of the cloth and
aware that it was well made and tailored with the finest fabric, she had no
doubt that the costume will look nicely on Yuuri’s body.
 
===============================================================================
 
 
Inside Yuuri’s room, the two of them were thinking about the tomorrow
competition, although Viktor had suggested that he should take it easy and rest
well but the two of them know it was not that simple and Yuuri knows that he
wasn’t a genius like Viktor.
Yuuriko was floating around the room, she watches the man she loved with an
interest but also with worry when she saw how he was moving around and change
his position on the bed, she knew that the Japanese skater was afraid and
nervous for the next day.
“Yuuri, can’t sleep?” she asked him.
He grunted as a reply.
“Will you tell me, what’s been eating you? Perhaps I can help…” she asked again
and this time Yuuri woke up and sitting on his bed with a frown marred on his
pale face, she didn’t like when her Yuuri was in distress.
“Now, will you tell me what’s wrong?” She floated towards him and facing him
with a stern look, a sign that Yuuri couldn’t escape from her interrogating
façade. It didn’t take her too long for Yuuri to answer her question.
“It’s just…I dunno, I felt like there’s something lack about the story…” Yuuri
scratched his head in frustration.
“What about it? I already saw how well you progress the program and I had to
admit you’ve been improving a lot, Yuuri. But why did you say that there’s
something lack? Is the story was not that deep enough?” she asked feeling a
slight panic that the story she comes up with Yuuri was not good enough to
impress the audiences.
“Wawaawaa, no no! It’s just that, I felt I missed the point…I mean, when I saw
Viktor skate on Eros, you saw how easily for him to be the playboy in the
story, while I had no sexual experience nor I had a girlfriend—ah! I’m sorry, I
had you Yuuriko, so don’t be mad!” he stopped at his negative rambling when he
saw the horror and how frigid Yuuriko’s expression was.
“What I meant to say that…I don’t think the playboy character was the right one
for me…” there he said it, waiting for Yuuriko’s mother hen nagging about how
wrong Yuuri was and he just needs to be more positive with everything.
He waits.
And he hears nothing.
He looked up and saw Yuuriko was sharing a troubled look, it wasn’t like she
disagreed with his opinion but she was contemplating with his answer.
“I had to say, I don’t see the playboy persona in you, Yuuri…unlike that gray
haired guy, since it’s something he does like breathing, so it becomes natural
for him to play the role…but you are still green and new in this zone, letting
out a seductive and irresistible charm was not something you do…”
“Yeah, I guess so…” his shoulders slumped down.
“And besides, moving so manly yet flattering was not something you could do in
one week, Viktor’s body was already constructed to be masculine but since you
were child, Minako taught you how to be graceful and more poise like…ballet was
you first basic, so I guess dancing something that controverts with your belief
wil—Yuuri?!” all of the sudden Yuuri stood up from the bed with another
determination fired up inside his eyes.
He changed his sleeping clothes with the shirt he usually used for dance
practicing, he tied up the lace of his shoes and proceeds to go to a place
where he could find the answer, he ignored the calls from Yuuriko, who with no
doubt following him running on the road.
“Yuuri! Where the hell you’re going in the middle of the night?!” she called
him but Yuuri refused to answer her, let alone tilt his head to assure her that
he was fine, she was worried about him but decided to wait until they had
reached their destination. She saw a familiar building and the name of the sign
of the building, it was an apartment complex.
She knew the person who residence in this apartment, the same person who taught
him how to use pointe shoes and listen to the classic music while dancing with
it like a swan.
The person who probably had the answer for them and maybe Yuuri will be
satisfied if this person could help him.
After they finally reached the 13th floor, thanks for Yuuri’s unlimited stamina
and the fact that they were using a stair instead a lift like a normal person,
he knocked the door numerous time before ring the bell for the person on the
other side of the room opened the door.
“Yes, yes, I’m coming…hoam, who is it?” they saw the light came on from the
window, showing that the person inside was awake, the two Yuuris were waiting
in anticipation for the woman with a long hair and with glasses, looking tired
was staring at them.
It was Minako-sensei who opened the door, wearing a sleeping robe and red
glasses.
“Huh? Yuuri what are you doing at this hour?” Yuuri explained to her that he
needs her studio room for the dancing practice.
“You want to practice in my studio this late at night?” she asked in annoyed
mixed unrelieved look at the Japanese skater but Yuuri still standing with a
hard expression on his face, when Minako saw it, she knew there’s no way in
hell she could refuse her most favorite student’s favor.
“Minako sensei… I need you to teach me something…” Yuuriko hoped that Minako
could provide him assistance in order to reveal the answer and she prayed that
he will found what he was looking for from asking Minako a favor.
Chapter End Notes
     So, here's the fact. I just graduate from college [YEY, hello bills,
     responsiblity and jobs] and just got accepted as an English Teacher
     for an Elementary School [God, help them] and I will start to work on
     July , so I really really REALLY need to be prepared [ papers, CV,
     etc.] and I still had to sorting some things back in my hometown
     since you could guess how much luggage I brought from my dorm back to
     my hometown, yup...a LOT.
     so yeah, it takes time but I still managed to type and draw the
     fanarts for this chapter, so i do hope you guys forgive me for making
     you guys thought that I was on Hiatus or got lost in the middle of
     jungle and for the slow response, I'm really really terribly sorry
     for that.
     And as you can see the difference between Yuuri and Yuuriko was based
     from their eyes, in anime you can see Yuuri's eyes were slightly
     large and filled with anxiety and uncertaintly while Yuuriko's eyes
     were sharp and long, she always looks at people with scorn and
     distrust.
     and as for the height, it was Yuuriko who was slightly taller than
     Yuuri, there's no any specific reason why did it happen, just so you
     know, hehehe.
