in the beginning I hated kyujo but now my heart aches for him.

I am very anxious to read the next chapter - to see the conversation Ayumi holds between the 3 of them.

Yes - in the beginning kyujo was horrible and I hated him too! Causing an acccidnet to daze and have his way with Kotaro was insane to me. and it's only in the last few chapters that he demonstrates any kind of character development.
