The four males were silent after hearing Soraru's question. They couldn't believe what they heard.

"Y-You want to remember?" Sakata said in confusion as the raven-haired nodded his head.

"B-But why?" Urata asked.

Don't get him wrong, it wasn't like the short brunette didn't want to help him. He does, he really does, he really does want to have his childhood friend remember them. But Urata wasn't sure if he wanted Soraru to remember all of those bad memories along with the good ones.

"I-I-I kinda feel guilty for all of this...." Soraru said awkwardly as he rubbed his arm and looked away.

"I-I mean you guys are suffering with having to remember everything while I don't." Soraru gave them a sheepish smile.

"If you want to get your memories back then we'll definitely help you," Luz said before frowning a bit, "though it might be hard."

"It's fine."

"Well guess we'll work on it." Urata said as he inwardly smiled.

"I think we should at least say the basics." Sakata said as the albino nodded.

"So basically all nine of us have a tattoo that gave us an ability. Mine would be the barcode." Mafu said as he pointed to his cheek.

"So I was right about your excuse being a lie." Soraru said as the albino sheepishly smiled.

"Well I hope I can...remember....?" Soraru said as he nervously laughed.

"Don't worry we'll make sure you do~" Luz said confidently as the short brunette sighed in amusement.

"Also one more thing, Mafu has feelings for you and vice versa." Urata bluntly said as the albino blushed, Soraru also slightly blushed.

"E-Eh?!? W-Why did you have to say that?!?" Mafu shouted as he semi-glared at the short brunette.

"Because you probably wouldn't have said anything and I'm not going to watch you take forever to do so again." Urata retorted as the albino blushed even more.

"So I liked Mafu..." Soraru said, he could faintly remember having feelings for someone.

"Not liked, love~" Urata teasingly corrected the raven-haired, who gave him an annoyed look.

"Oi, cut it out."

"Www see you're already starting to act like you usually did whenever I teased you."

"W-Well we should probably go back now," Mafu stuttered, his blush clearly still visible, "see you tomorrow Soraru."

"See ya."

The raven-haired waved goodbye at the four males as they left his room. He then looked at the book he had placed down on his desk. He picked it up again and looked at the pages.

Each tattoo was followed by a story, a story about someone dying. So this must be how they died. Soraru felt uneasy at the thought of him having to watch the guys die a lot. How did I still stay sane after that? The raven-haired noticed the blank page, he was curious about why it was blank.

A quick flash occurred as words began to appear on the page.

They're no longer a threat, they are completely gone.

Erased from this world.

So this page will remain blank forever.

No need to remember about them.

Soraru unconsciously sighed in relief. He felt like all his fears had flown away. The raven-haired then flipped to the first page.

A story of a boy desperately trying to save his friend. He widened his eyes as he felt his hands shake a bit. The two boys in the story looked like him and Urata.

So before all of this changing fate stuff, Urata was the one to push me away..... Soraru was still trying to digest all of this.

He put the book back on his shelf as he threw himself on his bed.

Wonder how this will go... Soraru closed his eyes for a bit as he fell asleep.

•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•~•

The raven-haired was walking with the usual two males to school. He didn't get as much headaches as before whenever he looked at the short brunette. Guess with them telling me the memories and such stopped the pain for a bit.

"Hey guys~" Sakata cheerfully said as he waved at the others.

"Hey." Senra replied as the others waved back.

"So Soraru knows about our abilities?" Kashitaro said as the redhead looked at him confused.

"Eh? How'd you already know~?"

"Luz just told us." Shima said as the light haired male grinned.

"So we can use our abilities around him~" Amatsuki said cheerfully.

"That doesn't matter much, what matters is returning Soraru's memories." Mafu said determinedly.

"Why don't we just hit his head with something to make him remember?" Urata jokingly said as he smirked at the raven-haired.

"Do that and I'll—"

"You'll what~? I can change into a ghost and you can't do anything~"

"You seriously never change no matter what happens. I'm starting to wish that I stayed in the void to not have to deal with your snarky personality" Soraru unconsciously said as the short brunette immediately froze.

"E-Eh?" Mafu said in confusion as the raven-haired became silent after hearing what he said.

"So the memories are kinda already coming back." Nqrse said as the raven-haired looked at them.

"How could you wish to never see your precious childhood friend again~" Urata continued to tease the raven-haired, who was starting to get annoyed.

"We should probably go to class now, we have like five minutes until class begins." Kashitaro said as he began to walk to class.

"Can't you just teleport us~?" Amatsuki whined but pouted when the brunette shook his head.

"We still have to worry about other people seeing us." Nqrse said as the red eyed brunette's smile immediately deflated.

"Oh right..." Amatsuki sheepishly laughed at him forgetting about that.

The guys were walking to their class, Soraru could sense that he'll get mobbed by classmates the moment he enters the room.

"Why not have Nqrse look like Soraru to have them go to him while Soraru goes to his desk?" Sakata suggested as the pink haired male and short brunette shook their heads.

"And have them see that there are two Sorarus. They'll definitely get suspicious." Urata said as he gave the redhead an 'are you serious' expression.

"Plus the moment I stop using my ability, they'll see Soraru at his desk and immediately go there." Nqrse added as the redhead sighed in defeat.

"It's fine, they'll eventually get bored of me ignoring them and their pointless questions." Soraru said as they made it to the class.

Shima opened the door to the classroom expecting classmates to rush to talk to the raven-haired, but this time no one seemed to look at them.

"Eh? That's surprising." Mafu said as they walked to their seats.

None of the classmates seemed to have noticed their arrival.

"Alright this is weird." Urata said as he turned to look at them.

The short brunette then saw that Luz's tattoo had changed color. Urata gave him a 'really?' expression while the light haired male looked at him in confusion.

"What?"

"You're using your ability to make us invisible."

"Eh? Really?" Luz made himself stop, his tattoo went back to its original color.

The guys saw that their classmates still haven't reacted to their sudden appearance.

"This is good, we don't have to worry about them swarming you." Amatsuki said as he looked at the raven-haired.

"But how come Luz was able to turn all of us invisible?" Soraru asked as the light haired male shrugged.

"It's just possible, I mean Kashi can teleport all of us whenever he wants." Luz stated as the raven-haired nodded his head in understanding.

The teacher walked into the class as the guys faced forward. Classmates went back to their seats, some noticed the raven-haired and the others.

"Oh. Soraru's here today."
"Eh? When they did arrive?"
"Aw~ I missed my chance to talk to Soraru."

The raven-haired just blocked out their words as he tried to pay attention to the lesson. His mind kept drifting to the guys and their abilities.

So the guys died at some point. Soraru was still surprised at how his past self didn't seem to fall into depression or despair after having to see them die multiple times.

He then thought about the albino. I loved Mafu... The raven-haired felt a bit bad for him. He still has his feelings for me yet I don't. Soraru sighed as he looked out the window, he would say that he can just fall in love with the albino.

But he didn't know if those feelings will come back now that things seemed to have changed.

Guess we'll just see how things work out. Soraru looked back at the front of the class as he focused on listening to the teacher. He decided to ignore those questions in his mind for now.

The guys were heading to the roof for lunch. Soraru just watched their interactions as he followed behind them.

Nqrse was talking with Luz, who would occasionally blush. Amatsuki and Mafu were teasing the redhead, who was yelling at them to stop. Shima was annoying the short brunette, who looked like he was ready to punch him. Senra and Kashitaro were just casually talking with one another.

These guys never change. Soraru chuckled to himself a bit before realizing what he unconsciously thought. The raven-haired felt a small, short headache come through him. A faint memory of him hanging out with the guys appeared in his mind.

Soraru shook his head to stop the small pain as he looked up. I know I said I wanted to remember, but I'd rather do that without having to deal with headaches. He sighed as the guys made it to the roof.

"So are we going to do anything?" Senra asked as the guys shrugged.

"We can go to the park to see if your memories come back." Mafu said as the raven-haired rose his eyebrow.

"Why the park?"

"It used to bring back memories that you wanted to forget." Urata said as he gave the male a pitiful look

"Oh....and going there might make me remember?" Soraru asked uncertain about it.

"It's worth a shot." Shima said as he shrugged his shoulders.

The purple-haired then noticed that the blonde seemed to be zoning out.

"Senra are you okay?"

"Eh?" The blonde said as he looked at the male.

"You were spacing out."

"Oh, I was just thinking about something."

"What is it?" Nqrse asked the blonde, who wasn't sure if he should say it.

Wouldn't hurt to try. Senra looked at them as he spoke.

"I was wondering if we can use my ability to give Soraru his memories back."

"Eh? But you're ability is to see into others' memories not to show them." Amatsuki said as the blonde sheepishly nodded his head.

"Y-Yeah that is true, I was just wondering if I could kinda reverse it."

"We can ask my dad about that." Mafu said as the others thought about it.

"If it's possible then that'd be the fastest way for him to remember." Luz said as the redhead looked slightly conflicted.

"But the memories would be flooding in all at once."

"Soraru could probably handle all of the pain." Urata said as the raven-haired gave him a dumbstruck look.

"Eh?!"

"Www how cruel Urata." Amatsuki said as the short brunette rolled his eyes.

"He should at least get some pay back for making us upset and such."

"I-Isn't that a bit too much?" Soraru said in a shaking voice.

"Www I'm just kidding~"

"Doesn't seem like it. You're sometimes violent." Sakata quietly muttered, but to his dismay the short brunette heard him.

"Oi."

"I-I'm sowwy~" Sakata apologized as Urata was pinching his cheek.

"So are we going to try it?" Kashitaro asked as the albino shrugged.

"It really depends on Soraru and whether he wants to go through it." Mafu said as he looked at the raven-haired.

"I....I think I'll be fine." Soraru said as he gave them a small smile.

"Then we'll go after school~"

"Eh?! So sudden?"

"Better now than never."

"I'm going to regret this." Soraru muttered to himself before chuckling.

But these guys really do want to help me remember.... and I want to remember too. Soraru inwardly smiled as he watched the guys talk to one another. I'm glad I met them.
