"M-M-Misora...?" Syo stuttered  out as he took another step but then his eyes spotted an orange head sitting right next to her.

Flirting.

His eye twitched in annoyance. "Who..." He recognized who it was and started charging towards the person like a madman. Syo tackled him and grabbed his collar then started banging his head on the ground.

"O-Ochibi-chan?!"

"REN! WHAT THE HECK DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOIN' TO HER?!" Syo yelled at him while doing the procedure continuously. He stopped when Ren finally fainted and stood up then took hold of the girl's hand. "Let's go."

"Eh? But—"

Without any hesitation, the blond dragged her away from the lake, leaving the unconscious womanizer on the cold ground. He had an irritated look while spouting his angry aura. The raven head only stared at him curiously as she allowed him to drag her somewhere.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Syo stopped at the front door of the Master Course Dormitory. He turned to his companion and suddenly out of blue hugged her tightly. She was surprise by the sudden gesture.

"I'm glad I get to see you again, Misora." He whispered as he shed a tear of joy. He let go of her and wiped the tears forming on the corner of his eyes.

"Uhm..." She stared at him with confusion in her eyes. "Who are you and how do you know my name?"

The blonde's eyes widened in shock then he stifled a small yet disappointed laugh. Misora tilted her head in confusion. He looked at her and gave a half-hearted smile.

"Sorry... I must... I must have mistaken you... as someone else..."

She nodded her head in understanding and pulled out her hand. "I'm Suzuki Misora. Nice to meet you."

Syo held her hand and shook it slowly. "U-Uh... yeah..." The feeling and grasp of her hand was the same back then. "It has to be her... There's no doubt about it... How come... she doesn't remember me?"

He had to let go... He had to... He had to let go of her...

"I can't... Why can't I?"

Syo withdrew his hand forcefully and looked the other way. "W-Why are you here in such a place?'

"Oh, well... I'm going to meet my—"

SLAM!

The front doors burst open revealing Natsuki, Kaoru, and some brunet that was sweating and panting.

"SYO-CHAN~"

"SORA-CHIN!"

Syo raised an eyebrow. "Sora-chin?"

"Excuse me." The guy threw the blond to Natsuki and Kaoru to get out of his way. Syo fell on his bottom as he stood up quickly. "Oi! What was that for?!" He snarled at him.

The brunet ignored him and gave Misora a small bear hug. "I told you not to go anywhere but the guest room!"

"Gomen, Tsu-nii." The blond's anger rose when this guy hugged the one he lo— Misora. Kaoru tried to hold his laughter by his twin's obvious jealousy. Natsuki noticed the peitite girl and approached her. He looked closely to her while she was being in the arms of an unknown guy. "What does he think he's doing to her?!"

Suddenly, flowers began popping out in the background as Natsuki glomped on Misora. Luckily, the brunet dodged him without him getting into the tackle.

"Cute~"

"Natsuki! Let go of her!" Syo roared at him as Kaoru restrained him while laughing nervously. "Let go, Kaoru!"

"Maa, maa, Syo-chan~"

"You remind me of my pet bunny back home."

Time stopped and they started staring at him. "Bunny?" Natsuki nodded and let go of Misora as Syo began to cool down. "I had a bunny. She reminds me of her though."

Syo began imagining her with bunny ears while everyone was in the same case. He had a dust of pink on his cheeks as he shook his head rapidly trying to make the image come off. "Dang you, Natsuki! First Elizabeth, now your pet bunny?! What next?! YOUR PET CAT?!" Right in the midst of his thoughts, a certain brunet was squealing madly at the background. Kaoru laughed at him and said, "You haven't changed one bit, Tsubasa."

The brunet, Tsubasa, looked at him with a pout. "What do you mean I haven't change?!"

"Well..."

"That's mean, Kao-chin!" Tsubasa cried comical tears while the latter just felt a bead of sweat rolled down his cheek, trying to comfort him.

"Wait... you two know each other?" Syo asked looking at his twin brother and Tsubasa in a back and forth manner. A nod came from his twin as he looked back to the brunet. Tsubasa had messy brown hair while he was wearing a purple jacket with a yellow top and some black jeans with headphones hanging around his neck.

"Let's talk somewhere else, shall we?"

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

In the living room, everyone gathered as they talked about the situation in hand. Syo shifted on his seat looking very unease with this. Misora was fumbling with the hem of her skirt as she refused to make eye contact with the blond in front of her. Currently, they were talking about the engagement.

"So you're saying..." Syo started and cleared his throat. "That Misora is my f-fiancee?"

Tsubasa glared daggers at him and grumbled a small "yes." Misora looked away as Syo could only be speechless. If this was a dream, he would be doing his happy dance but it wasn't because the strangest thing is that she doesn't remember him for some reason. So, he had to confirm if she was his childhood friend or not. Tsubasa told Misora to go back to the guest room because they wanted to speak in private for a while. Haruka volunteered to come with her for some company and maybe get to know a little bit more.

After they left, Tsubasa made a serious face and spoke up, "Now let's begin."

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

While Misora and Haruka were walking back to the guest room, Haruka began introducing herself to her.

"I'm Nanami Haruka. Nice to meet you, Sora-chan." She said, happily. Finally, she had another girl in the dormitory to talk to. Well, unlike Tomochika, she was busy most often and barely visits her so she was excited that there was another girl in the dormitory that'll get live with her.

"I'm Suzuki Misora. It's nice to meet you as well." She smiled at her.

"I'm so glad to have you here." Haruka exclaimed while smiling widely. "You're a perfect match for Syo-kun as well. I hope you two will live happily together."

"Y-Yeah..."

Haruka grabbed her hand and smiled again. "Why don't we go to my room so we could chat and get to know each other?"

The raven head smiled and nodded her head in affirmation. Haruka beamed and dragged her all the way to her room. While going through the halls, Misora began thinking.

"Why does Kuruso Syo's name so familiar all of the sudden?"

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

"You're Kurusu Syo, right?" Tsubasa questioned, narrowing his jaden eyes on him.

The said blond flinched at the serious tone but manage to stutter a simple "yes". The now serious Tsubasa turned into a cheerful one. "I didn't know Sora-chin had such a cute fiancée~"

Syo twitched in annoyance as he heard the word. He took a deep breath and started counting one to ten to try and calm himself down while preventing to snap at him. Tsubasa approached him and patted his head.

"You know... When I first saw you I thought you were really 161 cm but you look like 100 cm to me! Ahaha!"

The blond blushed in anger and embarrassment. "S-Shut up!!"

"That's what I said to him when we first met." Ai commented, emotionless as always.

"Oh~ He's a tsun-tsun as well. How cute."

"SHUT UP!"

"And you still don't know how to respect your seniors." Ai said as Syo had another case of de ja vu. Kaoru watched them as they bickered for a few minutes.

"As expected, you were destined to be someone paired with a little innocent bunny." Ren spoke up, who had an ice pack on his head. He still doesn't how can such a small animal can have that so much strength?

Syo sent a death glare to Ren. "Touch her again, and I will show no mercy." Ren sank on his seat and nodded slowly feeling the shiver on his spine. Everyone blinked at the tense atmosphere as they all thought that something happened most likely related to Ren once again. Syo remembered something very important.

"Oi, Tsubasa."

"Yeah?"

"Is she really Suzuki Misora? You already knew she was my childhood friend, right?" He asked as he earned a nod from him afterwards.

"Does she remember me?" Syo asked in a sad tone while Tsubasa stared at him with a straight face.

"Syo-chan..."

"Syo..."

They all looked at him with worried faces. Syo had the urge to cry now but he doesn't want to anyone see him doing something so out of character.

"Syo... There's something we have to tell you." Kaoru started as he leaned back on his chair while Tsubasa gave him a "Are you sure about this?" look. He nodded and turned to his older twin brother.

"Mom and Dad never really told us she went missing, right?" Syo nodded his head slowly while looking down on the floor with his fedora shadowing his eyes. The painful memories began haunting him all over again. Why won't it just stop? Natsuki looked at him and crouched down to get a closer look at his face. The blond had tears in the corner of his eyes. He was biting his lip down hard to the stop the tears from going down to his cheeks. Natsuki frowned. He never saw his best friend cry like this.

"The day Misora got out of the hospital was the same day she got into a car accident."

Kaoru watched his twin clenched his fist. "Her parents were found dead but..."

He cleared his throat and continued, "... Misora was missing... They searched the whole area but still couldn't find her..."

"The first ones to be informed by this was our parents. It seems our family and her family were long time friends. The agreement of your engagement was made before we were even born. In all result, the firstborn of her family gets to marry the firstborn of our family. Since we were born as twins, the older one, which is you, Syo-chan, gets to marry the firstborn of her family, which is Misora herself."

"So they planned it beforehand?" They all thought at the same time with surprised looks, except for Kaoru and Tsubasa.

"Then... Tsubasa's is her older brother?" Syo said, pointing at the brunet. "I never heard anything from her having a brother before."

"Tsubasa is Misora's adoptive older brother along with another one. He found her at a field bleeding and injured at a devastating state." Syo remained silent as he glanced at Tsubasa. The tears were gone from his eyes but the pain in his heart was still there. Kaoru tilted his head down as he covered the pain on his face.

"That's enough, Kao-chin." Tsubasa said as he looked at him. "It's my turn now."

Everyone listened closely to him as he told them the story of 8 years ago. "As what Kaoru said, I found her in the field while I was having a small stroll. I carried her to the nearest hospital. I was relieved that she was alive. After months of sleeping and recovering, she managed to woke up from her quiet slumber. We finally got the chance to ask her who she was and where she was from. Sadly, she doesn't remember."

"She only gave us her name. She doesn't remember one thing from how she got into the accident. The doctors confirmed that she had the case of amnesia but nonetheless, there wasn't anymore serious than that. We tried looking for her family but it was no use. We found nothing." Tsubasa ran his hand through his messy brown locks and heaved a sigh, "So... There was no other choice but to let her in my family."

Silence developed in the room as Tsubasa finished his life story telling for them. All of them were in the state of shock but mostly Syo was the one. Why wasn't he there when she needed him the most? Right, they were only kids back then but still...

"So how did you met each other?" Syo asked to Kaoru and Tsubasa obviously as he looked down his lap.

"Well... Tsubasa was my senior in America but transferred back here to support his little sister." Kaoru replied as he continued.

"Kaoru asked me what her name was then I told him which surprised him. I showed him the picture of her then he cried like there was no tomorrow." Tsubasa let out a small laugh.

"Then, that's how I know she will be happy with you guys, especially Syo, and somehow gain her memories back. I mean, it's not like I'm going to cling on her everyday, right?" Oh, if he knew his own self he would have noticed it already. "Her happiness is my happiness especially for him."

The blond sat quietly on his seat without uttering one word. His band mates were getting worried. Usually, Syo would declare his statement like "I will bring her memories back! You can count on me!" but he was silent as a bug. This made STARISH and Quartet Night worried.

"Let's give him some time." Masato voiced out as he stood up. Otoya and Cecil did the same procedure along with the other STARISH and Quartet Night.

"Let's go." Tokiya walked out of the room while the others followed behind. Kaoru looked at his older twin one more time before leaving and closing the door with Tsubasa.

"I'm sure he'll be fine, Kaoru." Natsuki reassured his friend as he gave a small pat behind his back. Earning a slight nod from him, they left.

After the steps faded from the door, Syo slumped on his seat and buried his face on the cushions. He let the tears fall down from his eyes. Why was fate playing with them so much? Why was this happening? All the question began rumbling inside his head. After a few minutes, he eventually calmed himself down. The pain in his heart was too great for him. He was tired...

"I won't leave you..." He mumbled as his heavy eyelids began to fall. "I'll bring back your memories... I promise..."

The latter drifted off to sleep as he felt something warm cover him.

The others were right.

Syo declared his promise.

There was no backing down this time.
