It has been six weeks since Akira, Himai, Silla and Uma discovered Shelby in the Sea Village in a shrine to the Ojoshi-sama as Silla was still close to her side ever since they brought her up to the surface. 

Even though Silla didn't want to tell Akira, Himai, and Uma the hidden truth about why Shelby hasn't awoken yet, is because it is what will happen if she does wake up. 

"Oh, Shelby." Silla said, looking at her friend desperately, as Hikari notices his daughter. 

"You haven't told Akira, haven't you, about Shelby really became the Lady Ojoshi and when she wakes up, she'll lose her ability to love, and half of her memories were lost. " 

She turns to him, "How you feel, when you know the truth for so long? How could you cope with situation?!?" 

She couldn't handle her emotions as Hikari held his daughter close , comforting her to reassure her that everything would be all right. 

Silla sighs, as Akira arrives from school. "Still sulking about Shelby not waking up? I just know she'll wake up , just like Uma and I was when we arrived at the surface. 

Don't worry so much, cuz." 

Silla nods, but still have strange feelings about how to tell him the truth about Shelby. 

She went to the Ena Pool that her parents had in the schoolyard , sitting alone. 

She was thinking in her mind, as she hears a voice, "I thought I would find you in here." She turns to see Himai who was grinning. 

"Himai!" She stutters as she fell into the pool. 

In silence, no one either said a word, then laughter broke for the two fourteen year olds.

 "What you doing, way out here?" Himai asks.

Himai was confused of her friend . She had known Silla ever since her childhood, and it seems like she can read her mind. 

Silla remains silence, as she looks at her. "You're worried about Shelby, aren't you?" 

"It's more of what will happen if she wakes up. I am scared , for her." Silla replies. 

"What you mean?" Himai asks, when suddenly, Uma pants with sweat. 

"You guys have to come see this." He said to the girls, which cause both to be curious. 

Akira was shocked, completely, as he was back to a wall. 

In Himai's surprise, Shelby was awake, as she notices Silla for the first time. 

"Akira, who is that girl?" She asks, as Silla knew the truth as she has no idea. 

"Mom, Dad!" She yells. 

Hikari went towards Akira's room as Akira still in shock of Shelby's awakening. 

"Whoa, talk about Deja vu." Munia said, looking at Shelby. She remembers how shocked Hikari was when Manaka suddenly awoken from her slumber . 

Silla looks at her mother and father worried about Shelby's condition. 

"Mom, I am totally freaking out. I mean, Shelby became the Lady Ojoshi , right? Will her memories would return?"

Manaka said, "It's hard to tell, sweetie. When I woke up , I didn't have a lot of my memories and last thing I remember was the Ofunehiki. Just give her time to adjust things here at the surface and take things from there." 

Silla sighs, but she didn't know how to keep a massive secret from Akira , Himai and Uma that Shelby lost her ability to love, and lost her memories because of her commitment to being the Lady Ojoshi in the Ofunehiki.   

She walks towards the ocean bay, staring at it, as she thought about Akira and their family. 

"Akira has spent five years in hibernation, while Himai lives in the surface with us. It must've been harder on Himai because she has known Akira and Uma before I was even born. 

I really want Akira to be happy, but would he mad of knowing that Shelby became Lady Ojoshi, just like Aunt Munia and Mom did five years ago?"  She thought in her mind. 

As she was lost in thought, a voice said, "I figure you would be here, Silla. It seems like you're really are Munia's niece ." 

Silla turns to see Kaname . "Kaname! I didn't know you were- um, what brings you here?" 

He chuckles at her stammering, "Well, I was worried about you, is something on your mind? You can tell me anything. " 

She sighs, the guilt of knowing the secret of Shelby was overbearing and she needed some advice. 

"Well, um, the truth is.." She told him what really happened once Akira re-reached the surface and her realization of Shelby's decision, he seems to be shocked. 

"Why you didn't tell Akira about this? I mean, he's your cousin ." Kaname asks her, as she bits her lip. 

Silla said, "I don't know if Akira and the others would handle it, Kaname. Please, don't tell them yet. " 

Shelby was awoken in the middle of the night, as Silla looks at her friend. "Shelby, is something wrong?"

She said, "The waves, I can hear the ocean, it hurts." 

Silla looks sad for her, but knew it was because of her memories and her ability of love. 

She helps her friend by cupping her ears to block the sounds. Shelby became more relaxed as she turns to her, "Thanks, I felt better." 

Silla sighs , but feels guilt. 

As the morning rises, she already was outside , and decides to travel to the Sea Village on her own. 

She went down as she lands, she went to visit her grandfather. 

"Hi, Grandfather. A lot of things happened these past five years. I'm Silla, Hikari and Manaka's daughter. 

I have Ena now, just like Akira . It's not going to be entirely easy for me , though. Shelby is just like how Aunt Munia and Mom did, being the lady Ojoshi. I wish that you can give me some advice about this, but you're in hibernation. 

I wished you were here, Grandfather." She said, bowing to respect her grandpa as she smiles of telling him what she has been through. 

Silla went up to the surface, but when she arrives, her fear kicks in, as she notices Akira was there. 

He was looking at her, "Silla, please, what is going on? I know it's been five years since the hibernation, but we're family. 

If you know something about Shelby, you have to confess." 

Silla sighs, as she assembles Akira, Uma and Himai together. 

"Hey, you guys. I feel guilty of keeping this a secret from you. I thought that every since Akari and Uma arrived back to the surface, I felt glad. 

But when you were concerned about Shelby, I realized something. Something that you weren't aware of. 

The truth.. on the day of the Ofunehiki , Shelby did something . " 

"What you mean? Silla, I don't understand." Akira exclaimed as Hikari said, "You're finally going to tell them, about Shelby being the Lady Ojoshi , aren't you?"

Akira , Uma, and Himai were in total shock of this revelation as Silla nods in total regret of knowing the truth. 

Akira , Uma and Himai stared at Silla as she cups her hands , still felt in total guilt of knowing why Shelby was acting so weird. 

Finally , Uma spoke up. 

"How long did you known that Shelby was the Lady Ojoshi?" 

Silla sighs , "I known since Akira came back to the surface and when I first discovered my Ena." 

Akira couldn't hold his emotions any longer as he dashes out the room in a hurry state. "Akira!" Hikari exclaims, as Silla sighs. 

Akira ran as fast he possibly can, as his heart was pounding , as he screams in pain. 

"Ahh! Why does it have to be her? Why?" He yells. 

He finally stops as he hears the waves of the ocean, as the fourteen year old looks at it. 

He thought, "I can't believe this is actually happening. Why didn't I stop Shelby that day, on the Ofunehiki? 

It's all my fault that she's in this mess." 

"Akira?" He hears a voice calling him as he saw it was Hikari . 

"Uncle Hikari." Akira said, stunned by his uncle's appearance before him as he waves a hand. 

They sat on a log in the beach. None of them spoke a word as they gaze into the ocean's waves. 

After a while, Akira finally spoke. "So, you came to find me after all this time?" 

The fourteen year old smiled, " I figured you would be here , after you learnt that Shelby sacrificed herself to become Lady Ojoshi. 

I don't blame you for being angry with Silla. She really cares about you, you know. I'm sure that Shelby's lost memories would return back to her eventually." 

Akira was amazed by his uncle's words. It really was a total shock that Hikari would be calmer than he ever was. 

"You really believe that, do you? That Shelby would be back to herself again? How can it be, since the long hibernation?" 

"I never gave up of hope when your sister and Manaka were the Lady Ojoshi, and I was just like you are . 

Believe me, I was kind of a rebellious with getting things my way. Just don't give up so easily, ok, Akira? By the way, it's Kancho time!" 

Akira runs laughily, "Hikari! C'mon! " 

Akira, Shelby and Uma spent much as they can together, but unfortunately , Shelby still hasn't recovered her lost memories. 

Silla looks at the friends as she still felt guilt within her of keeping the secret that Shelby sacrificed her memories and her ability to love by becoming Lady Ojoshi. 

Silla and Akira still haven't talked to each other since as Himai notices her friend's behavior. 

"C 'mon, Silla. You and Akira have to talk about this sooner or later. I will take Uma and Shelby to the town square while you both have a serious chat." 

The fourteen year old girl seems to be unsure, but Himai wouldn't take any chances as she literally pushes the cousins towards each other as Akira looks at Himai with a irate look, as if he was annoyed by her actions. 

Himai encourages Akira to talk to her best friend as she takes Uma and Shelby away. 

 Both cousins were unsure what to say to one other. Finally, it was Akira who decided to break the unbearing silence.

"Silla, listen. I'm truly sorry that I snapped at you. I should've listen to what you had to say. Uncle Hikari talked to me though. " 

"Really? My dad talked to you?" The fourteen year old asks in pure shock of hearing that revelation.

The fourteen year old boy nods, sheepishly, as he continues, "He told me that you were worried about me and Uma. 

About coming into the village and seeing Shelby as being the one who sacrificed her memories and her ability to love. 

It must've been harder on you to keep it as a secret for so long. How did you know about Shelby loosing her memories?"

Silla sighs, "I found out that Shelby was the Lady Ojoshi when I first received my Ena. I was surprised and when I realized it, I ... I went to ask Dad for advice of what I should do . He's been in this situation before, and I wasn't too sure if you guys can cope with it.  I should be the one apologizing here. 

I'm so sorry for kept it as a secret from you for so long. I should've told you and Uma the truth about Shelby right away. Can you ever forgive me?" She asks. 

That was when Akira laughs at his cousin, as if his worries had been swift away. 

"Akira?" Silla asks nervously of his laughter. 

"Of course I forgive you! We're cousins after all, but we're friends as well. Just... Don't hide anything from us again." He said. 

Silla was glad that her cousin have forgave her. 

"Promise. No more secrets, honest." She said, but in her heart, she loved him.
