Welcome Home Yuri! Back to The Beginning

Yuri Katsuki

When Yuri returned home, to see his once ballet instructor waiting for him quite loudly with banners and posters, he nearly had a heart attack. His plan had been to quietly return without bringing any attention. There was no achievement he gained that he felt was worth any welcome.

But like always, no matter what happened, Minako-sensei was there to welcome him home.

'But that was really embarrassing…' he lamented, a slight pink still burning in his cheeks as he recalled Minako-sensei discovering his overall growth since last she saw him. But that thought faded to fondness, the pink in his cheeks reddening as he ran faster towards the Ice Castle. He hoped they would still let him in at this time like before to burn some energy.

The cold air burned his lungs.

But it felt good to be home.

"Excuse me," Yuri called out, stepping beyond the sliding glass doors of the Ice Castle

"Our regular hours are over!" A female voice drawled out from behind the counter.

Yuko Nishigori glanced over the rack of rental skating shoes, awaiting the usual apology and exit of said customer. But as silence answered, she glanced towards the doors. If she had skates in her hands, she knew she would have dropped them on her feet.

"It's been a while...Yuko-san," Yuri practically whispered, nervously rubbing his foot into the floor.

"Yuri-kun?" Yuko blinked.

At his shy nod, Yuko burst with happiness. She hadn't seen her childhood friend slash town super star in a long time, at least not in person.

"Now now! Call me Yu-chan!" She smiled brightly , practically jumping over the counter in excitement.

"O-okay," Yuri stuttered, startled by her enthusiasm.

"You came to skate right?" She immediately followed, falling into old routines, "Go ahead!"

Yuri blinked in surprise, pulling the hood from his head as he slowly warmed up under the heaters. He was surprised at her immediate permission, it had been a while so he wasn't expecting such a warm welcome.

"You want to skate alone for a while, right?" Yuko continued with a wink, "I'll protect you!"

A sense of homely comfort filled him as he shared a smile with his old rinkmate.

"Thank you…"

As Yuri reminisced about his earlier training days in Ice Castle, thinking fondly of his memories with his past rinkmates.

"All done?" Yu-chan called as she wrapped up her books.

"Mmm, just about," Yuri responded as he pushed his belongings into an open locker.

"Good! I have a surprise for you!" She practically bounced around as she guided Yuri towards their larger rink.

"A-ah? A surprise?" Yuri repeated, taken aback.

"Yep!" Yu-chan ran ahead to pull the glass door open, "You really do have great timing Yuri-kun! I'd say this was fate!"

"F-Fate?!" Yuri blushed though unsure why, he chalked it up to his old crush rearing its head after all these years.

He nervously passed her and into the rink as she refused to answer and just gestured towards the rink.

Once the chilled air hit him, he closed his eyes for a brief moment as nostalgia hit his senses.

This place hadn't changed all this time, and it was comforting. He needed this.

"Yuri-kun" Yu-chan called.

Sighing, he opened his eyes and spotted the brunette by the entrance to the rink.

Balancing on the blades of his skates, he made his way closer.

And as he did so, he realized he could hear the grinding of ice.

Someone was already on the rink, skating.

And Yu-chan was gesturing towards him frantically to come closer.

Curious, Yuri made his way beside the smaller woman.

His eyes trailed to find the skater.

Raven hair fluttered gently with the gentle movements of the skater.

The lean physique indicated a woman, well trained and pro by the smooth movements of her body

Though she seemed to fly across the rink, it was more like she was floating and dancing in the clouds.

She was beautiful.

His mouth dropped the slightest as he leaned forward, bracing himself against the door.

'She reminds me of...V-' his thoughts stopped into a vocal screech as he fell forwards violently into the ice. Apparently wall he had braced himself against was inches towards the right, so he had leaned forward straight into the ice.

A groan left him as he cried in his thoughts, why him?! The ice bit at his face.

As he composed himself he could hear foot steps and skates gliding towards him.

Grunting, he pushed himself onto his knees, rubbing his reddened cheeks vigorously.

"Are you okay?" Someone called, as his hand was gently peeled away, another hand, cold to the touch, pressed gently against his aching cheek.

"Yuri-kun!"

"Y-Yuri?"

The first cry had definitely been Yu-chan but she sounded like she was to his side..

But the unfamiliar female voice...was right in front of him.

Startled, his shot open, his vision still clear through his crooked glasses.

Right in front of him was what he assumed was the unknown skater.

'S-so pretty…' he lamented, as he stuttered a response.

Raven hair fell in waves around her heart-shaped face, piercing azure eyes bore into his own.

She seemed so...familiar.

"Yuri-kun," the pretty girl called, dropping her hand, her own eyes wide in what he assumed was shock.

"H-how do you know-"

"It's Kagome-chan!" Yu-chan practically shouted, holding in her own squeals at how the two very much resembled a scene in many of the romcom dramas she watched.

"K-k-k-KAGOME?!" Yuri screamed.

And as if that shook the girl from her own shock, Kagome burst into giggles at the trembling Yuri.

"It's good to see you again Yuri-kun!"

And like that he was sent sprawling on the ice again as the raven-haired girl burst forward to hug her childhood friend.

And like that, Yuri returned home but it was almost as if he had gone back in time to a place when everything was so much easier. With a trembling smile, he hugged the petite woman back firmly.

"Welcome home Yuri-kun," Kagome muttered into his shirt.

"Thank you…"
