[Yukie's P.O.V.]
Okay this is weird. The Artificial intelligence of Ed's is creeping me out. The way she's talking to Ed is creeping me out. Like seriously.... This is quite disturbing...she is just a robot! A.I.! Whatever.

I looked at the floor near Ed's bed & see the chip I gave him in confusion.i don't mind it because it's not my room,but did he even look at what was on it?

"Hey Eiden did you get your present I left you?"
"What present?" He said confused.

I picked the chip up from off the floor & walked over to him putting it in his hand. He looks at it & puts it in his computer opening folders, seeing codes & prints & recent mainframes.

"How did you get this?" He asked

"I'm a demon assassin I have my ways" I said with a straight face.

Ed stands up & looks me stringy in the face, his eyes in tears & his mouth filled with one of his sandwiches....he then hugs me tightly...wow....okay....

"Thank you Yukie...."

Minty soon walked over & joined the hug."why the hug?"she giggled while I think purring? It was hard to tell over her giggles.

Ed was still ecstatic because of the information,Ami was still processing everything,I was still blushing because of the sudden hug Ed gave me & Minty, as always, was very enthusiastic.

She nuzzled us"anyone gonna answer my question?"she asks with a slight pout.

"The information is too much for me"Ed said crying.

"I-I'm not sure"I babbles trying to get out of the hug to go somewhere safe to me.

I saw Minty stare at Eiden confused"what?"she asked while tilting her head to the side.

"She just pushed me 3 years into the future Minty.  She provides me with info I was searching for for ages....I'm so happy..."he said, his eyes literally watering.

Minty giggled & have him a tissue."don't cry"

He took the tissue & blew his nose"Th-thank you Mint..."he said & started working on the Main computer with A.M.I. I was still in shock & heavily blushing.

Minty soon hugged & stared at me"what's wrong?"

"N-n-nothing minty! Geez....i-I'll get some bread for you"I said trying to change the topic.

Minty puffed up her cheeks"don't change the subject!"

"B-but!.....Bake!"I yelled then ran to my room & shut the door.

I could hear minty sniffle & sighed. I looked at some video camera footage form the room they are in now.

Ed finisher his work for the day & stood up."okay! The relay station should be up till tomorrow! We can be connected to the whole world then!"he smiled & patted minty.

She hugged him & cried"she yelled"

"She what...?" Ed was too absorbed in his work to even noticed what had happened between minty & I. "I'll go talk to her ok?"he'd smiled & hugged her before coming & knocking on my door.

I saw on the cameras minty hug midnight when he went to her & sat on the ground pouting like a little kid who was trying to stop crying but the tears keep falling.

Ed knocked on the door"Yukie? Are you there?

I watched as midnight tried to get free"while Eiden talks to her how about I get you some bread?"he suggested but sight getting no reply.

I spoke quietly"what....."

"Id just like to talk..."he said in a calm but worried voice. I opened the door then sat on my bed staring at him.

He walked in & closed the door."are you ok?"he sat beside me"did I do something wrong...?"he looked down"you know im not very good at interaction with people...."

I shook my head"you did nothing wrong"

"then....?why do you seem distressed...?"he asked then looked at me to catch me blushing"are you ok...?"he looked very confused.

I nodded then got up"I should really get minty that bread you know how she can get"I said changing the subject before running off.

Ed came out of my room I could tell he was both confused & worried"I'll arrange a medical check up then....but....for Yukie...?shes not human...."

I got some bread & gave it to Minty before going to explore the Forrest again. I had my portable video feed with me to watch over them.

Minty ran to Eiden while eating the bread"come with me!"

"Where?i was off to prepare a medical checku-"his sentence got cutoff by Minty dragging him out"easy minty! I'm coming! I'm coming!"I giggled at this as I walked.

Minty dragged him to her room where she gave him a bottle"this will help.its a potion for Desmond of any kinds mixed right with the correct stuff you can turn it into a medicine" sounds like she's worried about me too, cute.

"But how did you kno-" his sentence was cut short by minty dragging him again to his room"please Ed I want Yukie to be ok..."she said, yup she's worried about me too.

He looked at her with not question"ok..."he sat to work.

Minty then also gave him her potions book"this could help in the process of you can decipher the demon language in the demon chapters,last 5 of the book!"she said before running off to her room. I didn't know she had demon stuff in her book, weird.

"Uhhhhh....."he was just left with mystic tools to work where as he excelled in logic"I guess I'll just follow the instructions...glad I know ancient languages" hm so he can speak demon language? Might come in handy later.

I then swapped video l feeds to watching Minty who was tending to a sick fox in her closet while midnight seemed to be keeping watch for me. I didn't know he cares for me too.

After awhile Ed came up with the potion"Minty I think I got it but im not sure what it does.its good come look at it.

She came over with the fox in her arms"I got you a present"she giggled while laying the fox on the bed before examining the potion"looks about right we just need Yukie now."

"Oh my......name?..."he looked at the fox & petted it."& lets find her then? We can talked about how you got the fox on the way"he said as he picked minty up on his back & set out to find me. By the time they did I reached a cave & was relaxing in it as I watched them to make sure this time they don't hurt. Good thing I have a camera that can follow them.

I watched Minty shrug"I just found him in my room injured so I took care of him till he got better. You may name you pet fox whatever you like"she giggled then yawned"to Yukie!"

"To yukie!"Ed laughed as they set on into the Forrest. i checked back on the dome to check on Eds Fox who was being watched by Midnight,cute. I went back to Ed & Minty to see Mity asleep on his back.

They soon reached the base of the mountains I got injured at before."hey mint you up?"Ed asked worried. They didn't get a glimpse is me yet.

Minty yawne & rubbed her eyes"kinda"

"It's ok you can nap. We're going up the mountain so its be a bit bumpy ok?"he held onto her as he climbed up the mountain. It was let that hard since the was a pathway leading to the peak of the mountain.

Minty looked peaceful as the slept, I can see her drooling & I think sleep talking? Her mouth was moving & I could tell she was talking about food.

Ed smiled at her, she was like a little kitten. He was a total beat freak with his suit but I could tell he couldn't bare to wake he up. They soon came upon the cave I was in, though they got no sign of me. I yawned a bit as I laid down & wrapped a wing over myself.i saw Minty cling k him not liking the cave.

"Donuts...."I heard her say without the video feed. I turned the sound off on it.

"Yes donuts minty. Chocolate flavored donuts"I heard Ed reply as I watched the feed. Minty got more comfortable as we walked in the dark cave. Soon he stopped to rest.

Minty made a little fire to curl up next to for warmth. Ed sat next to her & patted her."I hope Yukies ok. My sky fall suit was still charging or we'd find her in no time....the drones were busy with the uplink too..."

Minty nodded & yawned"all my neglected sleep is getting to me can I hibernate?"I heard & giggled a bit as I yawned again. Now I was getting tired.

"On my back ok?"he said & I saw him thinking"im not leaving you here but can anyone hibernate on someone's back?"he was deep thought when minty got in his back & went into deep sleep. Now we shall see if she can hibernate.

He got up with her on his back & came deeper into the cave, I could hear his foot steps faintly.had turned the sound on my video feed as I fell asleep. It helped me better picture what they were doing.

Minty shifted around hearing a strange noise.oh wait, that was me snoring. Minty slept through it as the came closer to the natural cave room I was in. There was a light opening on the ceiling that I was asleep under with my wings curled around me.

"There she is.....hey...mint....wakey wakey...."he said to which minty slept through. Ed sighed knowing we needed out rest. He seemed annoyed at the thought of resting here's but is was peaceful despite my snoring.i felt him lay Minty by me & then the warmth of a fire.

I felt minty hug my arm which made me smile then the sound of Ed laying down. Soon minty was whimpering from what I would say is a nightmare.

I heard Ed sit up then reach over & pat her"ice cream minty"to which minty just whimpers more. I wrapped my wing around her as if a mother protecting its child, I felt the beanie she was wearing & it was the one I gave her.after awhile we were woken up.

Ed had waken us up"Oi,you two wake up"he said while nudging us.i woke up surprised while minty clung to me.

"Ed?"I asked since he didn't know I watched my video feed as I hid it with no notice."what are you 2 doing here?"I said tired as I tried to pull minty off me.

"We were worried so we tracked here to cheek up on how you were doing. minty fell asleep she was hibernating on my back"he said as he put the fire out. I gave a smile smile already knowing that but happy he didn't know I watched them.

I gave him a look like I was confused to help keep up my act"she hibernates now?"I asked.

"Beats me she was really cute though & I didn't mind so I let her. Besides, why here?"he asked me.

I gave him a shrug"I was just walking."

"& you ended up here? Sky fall was charging & the drones were busy & minty was sleeping so I had no other option but on foot."

"I patted his back"you didn't have to come after me.

"I didn't mine with minty on my back but....are you really ok?"he looked at me & our eyes locked, his face dreadfully close to mine.i slightly nodded as I continued to stare at him. Darn it was so awkward....

"U-Um why don't we get back to the dome?"I asked looking away & walking towards the exit but to be stopped by him grabbing my hand.

"Yukie you know you can talk tk me right?"he said obviously he didn't know what going on but he was worried about me...should I tell him?

I looked at him then Minty the back to him"back at the dome ok. Minty should have a proper place to "hibernate" don't you think?" I said with a small smile.

He sighed heavily & got up picking minty up in his arm."as you say Yukie, im not going to force you anything but you should know you can trust me."he said to me walking towards the exit with me.

The journey back to the dome was silent except for Minty's this random sleepy words & awkward save for Ed consoling her in her sleep. I didn't know what I was going to say to him once we did reach the dome.

Minty was nuzzling Ed at one point which was kinda cute. I gave an small unnoticeable smile as we walked.soon we reached the dome where Ed put Minty jn her bed with all her plushies & stuffies. I however was in the main lobby not knowing what to say.

Soon Eds fox came over which made me jump because of how quiet it was. Then I went on with my act to hide that I watched them come looking for me."Ed since when did we have a fox?"I said with fake confusion.

"Since Minty found him in her room. She gave him to me & I dunno what to name him."Ed said coming out of Minty's room, closing the door carefully,I never saw him this careful even with his experiments.

I nodded & stared at the fox"can I name him?"

"Sure! I'd be glad if you did"he smiled & looked at me intently.i stared at the little fox as I though before he walked over & sat on my lap staring right at me.

I leaned back slowly just a little bit to scare him"hey little guy can you please get off my lap.....its uh.....weird"I said which only made him lay down on my lap"really?"I said frustrated.

I heard Ed laugh"he likes you too"he smiled"but then again,your just as cute as him"He said as he picked up his coffee & sipped it. Since when did he make that?

I then blushed realizing he called me cute then stared at the fox who was now asleep still in my lap....great...I stared down to hide my blush from Ed"l-let's name him Nyaru"I said then jumped hearing minty shout"Kun" in her sleep.she defies all signs of logic,if there is even any left"Nyaru-Kun I guess"I said with a small,quiet sigh.

I saw Ed raise a brow at Minty's sudden shout but sighed as I did"Nyaru-Kun is it then"he smiled & petted Nyaru as he slept in my lap.i blushed some more since it was a little awkward. I have to admit  though,Nyaru-Kun was a little cute.

Ed looks at me like he saw right through me for a moment,his expression changed into shock then a little smiled & finally a sudden blush as he looked away"uhh...um....Yukie..."he said his glasses shining enough to make his eyes not visible as he looked down whose his face red.

I loved over"yes Ed?"

"Uh....why....have you been red this whole time...?"he asked,as if he just realized everything.

I blushed even harder then sighed"since you called me cute."

He looked at me in the eyes blushing very hard,he looked like a mess,"but you are cute..."I shook my head as I blushed more.

"Um...Yukie...?"Ed said in a shaky voice.

I looks at him"y-yes?"I asked.

He leaned in close to me & kissed me on my cheek"um-m...sorry"he said & ran away into his room & locked it. I sat there a blushing mess with Nyaru-Kun still on my lap.i stared at Eds door till I got up,picked up his little per & went to the door where I knocked"Ed you left Nyaru out here"

Ed opened the door, he was looking away his face very red. He took Nyaru-Kun from me."th-thank you"he stuttered & closed the door.

I sighed & leaned on his door frame"Ed, do you like like me?"

"YES!"he shouted,I could tell he was stuffing his head in a pillow"NO!i mean, that would be inappropriate of me!"

I blushed more"so you do love me but you think you shouldn't?"

"L-love....I-I don't think I really know what is means...."he opened the door & looked down.

I kissed his cheek for all the times he kissed me"you have a super computer & you never bothered to look up what love means?your the smart,scientists of the group I thought your suppose to know things"I joked hoping he could tell.

"I-I......I'm not good with stuff like that..."he stuttered,disappointed in himself obviously.

I laughed a bit,I have to admit he's cute right now"come on let's have Ami look it up for you"

"O-okay....I don't think they had to with logic though...I've tried..."he walked with me to the control room as we asked for Ami.

I smiled a bit actually having fun with this"Hey Ami."

"hello Yukie.Hello Ed~"Ami greeted us, she seemed to be in a cheerful mood. I felt a little awkward talking to her since she is a computer.

"Can you look up the definition of Love for Ed?"I asked.

Love?why is Ed looking up practice it on someone~?give me a minute!"she said cheerfully.

"I don't know if this'll work...."Ed said gloomily.

"Love is a bond between 2people. Everyone has their own definition of love & a lot of philosophers have many views about it. According to Arabic philosophers there are 12 degrees of love. Love is said to be undefined by a lot of writers. Love can take meh forms,love of a sister & brother is different than the love of a some & father. Similarly, love has some information that has 18+ rated content, I require your permission to view these files~"ami said.

"That's enough to! I think we've heard enough"I said afraid of what was next.i held back a blush at the last part kinda already knowing what it was gonna be."so that's love Eiden any questions?"

"J-just one.....I don't think I understand it yet but....."he looked at me with his eyes big"I think I do love you.....do you love me Yukie?"he asked. I blushed but nodded as I looked down.i have to admit I do love him a little. He pulled me close & hugged me to which Ami fell silent.

"Um....Master Ed...?you....love Yukie?"

I hesitated a bit before hugging back,I could tell Ami sounded hurt in what she asked Ed.

Ed surprisingly got the hint in his creations voice & said"I do love her Ami, but how can I not love you? I created you"does he really understand Robots better than humans?

"Y-you do!?"Ami seemed to have h breakdown & crashed. Ed looked towards me,his face dreadfully close to mine.

"Let's take out time Yukie...shall we?"he closed his eyes & brought his lips close to mine.

I blushed"y-yeah"I said before closing my eyes & hesitatingly kissing him.then we heard a squeal.

"YOUR IN LOVE!"Minty squealed out then tackle hugged us to the ground making us blush even harder. We all fell then Ed & looked at Minty in utter surprise.

"M-minty!?!how long have you been watching us!?"Ed asked. She was just hibernating the last time I checked so im confused.

Minty gave us an evil but cute grin"since you asked Ami what love is!i went ninja mode!"

Both of our faces turned red"uhhhh....is it normal to be embarrassed about this..?"Ed asked me.

I nodded"yeah"I said with a faint smjle.Minty giggled then fell asleep again.Guess she's gonna hibernate again?

"Really Minty....?on both if us..?"Ed sighed as he picked Minty up. Before going into Minty's room he turned & said"I.....Hope this doesn't keep anything awkward between us Yukie....."he smiled & went into put Minty to bed.

I giggled"it won't I promise"
