Sakiko is currently deceiving Jiro to finally have a chance to be with him. Her plans will have a wrench thrown in as he unexpectedly comes into contact with familiar faces.

Early Morning
Yayogi General Hospital
Sakiko POV

While sitting inside Jiro's hospital room, he was served breakfast while the doctor ran the final test to determine if he was ready to be released from the hospital. As Jiro ate, I can tell he wasn't a big fan of the food placed in front of him.

Jiro: Mhmm... the eggs are kinda.

Sakiko: Not to your liking?

Jiro: It's hospital food, it is about as good as you'd expect.

Sakiko: You've got to eat... say "ah."

Jiro: I can still use my arms.

Sakiko: I'm doing this because I really want to. Oh right, I've got a new dress, would you like to see it?

Jiro: Sure.

The blue haired girl entered the on-suite bathroom to change into her new dress. As I picked up my phone for the first time since I woke up, I opened it with the lock screen displaying a photo of myself... and grey haired girl. Suddenly, a sharp pain overcame my senses. I imagine myself spending so much time with this girl, sharing meals, watching movies, collecting rocks... who is she? As I wonder, Sakiko emerges from the bathroom with her new dress... that looks like her old one.

Sakiko: How do I look?

Jiro: Uh, good, I guess?

Sakiko: When a lady asks you if she looks good, you compliment her.

Jiro: I'm not really used to this sorta thing.

Sakiko: Let's get some fresh air, I'll grab your cardigan.

As Sakiko helped me walk around the hospital gardens, Jiro's assigned doctor found us and gave Jiro some medicine with a smile on her face.

Doctor: Aww, how adorable.

Sakiko: Good morning, doctor.

Doctor: Good morning, you two, I see you're getting some air, Chisaka-san.

Jiro: I wanted to stretch my legs.

Doctor: Make sure not to strain yourself too much.

Sakiko: How are his test results?

Doctor: Good news, no permanent brain damage... It looks like you've got a hard head there.

Jiro: Hehe...

Sakiko: He used to play soccer, I would put it past him.

Doctors: Also, good news, his amnesia is surprisingly temporary. All he needs is to talk to people he knows and do any familiar activities to jerk his memories.

Sakiko: I see... are you sure?

Doctor: After 20 years of medical experience, I haven't seen anything like this before. However, we are 100% certain he'll go back to his original self.

Jiro: That's a relief.

Sakiko: I can't let the others see him... if I do, it's all over...

Doctor: What was that dear?

Sakiko: It's nothing... can he be released today?

Doctor: Tomorrow morning... take this medicine after each meal... and I'll request for better food for your boyfriend.

Sakiko: Thank you, doctor.

As the kind doctor leaves us in the garden, Jiro looks out into the city to the refreshing sight of the large park adjacent to the hospital. Looking back at Sakiko, he starts to ask many questions.

Jiro: How long have we been dating?

Sakiko: A few months now. We have known each other since we were kids. You're two years older but acted like a big brother to me back then.

Jiro: I see.

Sakiko: And when I started my own band... you were my very first fan.

Jiro: What was the name of the band again?

Sakiko: We are the masked band named: Ave Mujica. You also appeared during our plays as well.

Jiro: I did?

Sakiko: That's right. You had a great talent for acting. So, we got you to play a character known as the Dollmaker.

Jiro, for whatever reason, felt a sharp pain in his head when I said the name "Dollmaker." This must be what the doctor is talking about. I need to twist my story a bit... and above all, don't let him see Tomori... if he sees her, his memories will return for sure. One shouldn't underestimate the unbreakable bond those two share... After seeing Jiro-senpai having head pains, I escorted him back to his room to rest. Making sure he was comfortable, I left the hospital, and I made my way to Mutsumi-chan's house.

A few hours later...
Hospital Room
Jiro POV

While I played on my bed resting my brain, I began to think about that girl on my lockscreen... isn't it normal to have your girlfriend on your lockscreen? Why isn't it Sakiko? As I continued to contemplate, I soon heard the footsteps of someone entering my room. Opening one eye, I was met by this beautiful girl staring down at me.

Jiro: Beautiful...

???: What? Checking your sister out?

Jiro: You're my sister?

Yomi: Yeah, Yomi Chisaka. The sister you love so much.

Jiro: Do you have any proof?

The girl who was named Yomi reached into my wallet and pulled out two things, my photo ID card and a familiar photo. Inspecting both, my memory of my caring little sister came back to me.

Jiro: I remember now...

Yomi: Me?

Jiro: Yeah... I'm sorry to make you worry, sis.

Yomi came in close and gently hugged me, finally relieved that I was doing okay. After separating, Yomi sat next to my bed and made small talk.

Yomi: What are you listening to?

Jiro: It's an amazing new band that I found, Avenging Angel. Takumi Hashimoto's music is something else.

Yomi: Who?

Jiro: Oh, right, they are from an alternate universe... Time is just a concept in this world, right reader?

Yomi: You sound like Umiri...

Jiro: Who?

Yomi: You'll meet that Maneater eventually.

Jiro: Huh...

Yomi: Anyway, how was your time here?

Jiro: Pretty good. My girlfriend helped me get better.

Yomi: Tomori-chan was here?

Jiro: N-no, her name was Sakiko...

Suddenly, Yomi cheerful mood was replaced by angered expression, with her red eyes giving her a frightening look. She slowly got up and whispered...

Yomi: Didn't I tell that girl to stay away from you...?

Jiro: What's going on? Why do you have Sakiko?

Yomi: That girl is deceiving you. She's been lying about being in a relationship with you.

Jiro: What are you talking about?

Yomi: She's the reason why you're in here. Don't trust that monster!

Yomi left the room, leaving me questioning everything I knew. If Sakiko wasn't my girlfriend... then why do I feel a connection with this other girl on my phone?

Meanwhile...
Wakaba Estate
Sakiko POV

Walking into Mutsumi-chan's mansion, the other members of Ave Mujica were giving me a dirty look, especially from Umiri. Setting down my belongings, I spoke up.

Sakiko: What are you all staring at?

Umiri: You went to visit Senpai, didn't you? The same one you were bludgeoning in front of us...

Sakiko: What of it?

Nyamu: Well, we think you should stay away from him for now.

Sakiko: He has amnesia... this is my opportunity to plant my memories on him.

Uika: That's low, even for you.

Mutsumi: You wish to make him forget about Tomori-chan? Why must you hate her?

Sakiko: She has what I want...

Umiri: That girl has every right to dislike you... you were the one who left that band... and you were the one who put Senpai in the hospital...

Sakiko: Your one to talk... he won't ever be with you either...

Umiri: At least I have the common sense not to hit him when things don't go my way!

Sakiko: How dare you!

Uika: Stop fighting, both of you.

Nyamu: Why don't we go on a hiatus and allow emotions to cool?

Sakiko: Good idea... I won't allow disobedience in Ave Mujica...

Umiri: You've got issues, girl...

As Ave Mujica continues to split at the seems, Mutsumi felt as though history is repeating itself. First, with CRYCHIC now with Ave Mujica. Mutsumi needs Jiro-senpai to help revive Ave Mujica like he did with MyGO.

The following day...
Live-House RiNG
Tomori POV

While practicing the two songs we planned for MyGO's second live show, I was distracted all rehearsal with the thought of Senpai in the hospital. As we finished the song, Soyo-chan noticed my downcast expression.

Soyo: Tomori-chan, are you okay?

Tomori: Huh? I-i'm fine.

Taki: Is it about Jiro-senpai?

Tomori: I'm really worried about him.

Anon: That boy will be fine, but course Tomorin is scared rotten after the damage Togawa-san caused.

Tomori: The doctor said he may have some amnesia after waking up. What if he doesn't remember me?

Taki: He won't.

Tomori: How do you know?

Soyo: You two are like pea in a pod, thick and thieves... you two will get through this together like you all do.

Raana: No one could separate the both of you.

Anon: What was your promise to him again?

Tomori: Like MyGO... we'll be together for life!

Soyo: Aww, that's so cute.

Tomori: Even if he has to fall in love with me all over again, I will be there waiting for him!

Raana: Marry him already!

Tomori: Maybe I will!

Taki: Huh?! Don't you think it's too early to think about that?

Anon: Tomorin found someone to grow old with.

Soyo: Why don't we visit him at the hospital after practice?

Tomori: Can we?

Taki: I have no plans.

Anon: Let's do it!

Raana: I want a Parfait!

As MyGO practiced on with a spring in their step, Tomori sang her heart out, ready to perform in front of any audience. After their rehearsal, the five musicians made their way to the hospital, where Jiro was recovering. As soon as Tomori stepped into the hospital, a sensation came over Jiro. He immediately felt happiness for whatever reason. The five girls checked in at the desk and entered Jiro's hospital room.

As the young boy looked up and set his eye upon the cute girl with grey hair... tears began to run down his face, as the many memories of the two them flash in his head. Like a magic spell, all of Jiro's lost memories returned to him.

Tomori: Jiro-senpai...

Jiro: T-Tomori-chan?

Tomori: Yes... it's me, Senpai!

As Jiro finally regained all his lost memories, Tomori jumped on top of her boyfriend, hugging him tightly.

Taki: Hey! He's hooked up to machines, so go easy on him.

Jiro: It's good to see you Taki-chan, Anon-chan, Raana... Soyo.

Soyo: You look horrible.

Jiro: I've always looked like this Soyo-chan.

Taki: How are you feeling?

Jiro: I'm set to leave today, so I guess I'm doing good.

Raana: Let's get matcha to celebrate!

Anon: What do you say, Senpai?

Jiro: Why not... Tomo-chan, you're still holding me.

Tomori: I want to keep hugging you. You're finally okay.

Anon: Speaking of which, aren't you going to be in the new Guilty Tiara movie?

Jiro: Yeah, I'm cast as the main character. Why do aks?

Anon: Guess who got cast as the role of Inori?

Jiro: You?!

Anon: Yep!

Jiro: The thought of me and you together in a movie makes me want to shoot myself in the balls.

Anon: At least your sense of humor is intact.

Soyo: On to a serious note...

Taki: Senpai... was it true? Sakiko put you in here?

Jiro: So, I was told.

Soyo: Do you remember anything at all?

Jiro: Just my vision went blurry all of a sudden... also Sakiko... claimed I was her boyfriend...

Taki: She didn't...

Anon: She honestly tried to deceive Senpai while he had amnesia...

Tomori: Jiro... promise me you'll save Saki-chan as well.

Jiro: Whenever you only say my name, it's serious.

Taki: After everything she did?

Soyo: You want to save her?

Tomori: It's the right thing to do...

Jiro: She's right.

Raana: Will you do it?

Jiro: Of course I will, then maybe this will all be over.

Tomori: I hope so...

To be continued...

Authors Notes:

I've been thinking if this book should have a definitive ending, a happy one, of course. I'll think about it for now.

Ave Mujica is now fractured with many of its members against Sakiko. The one that brought them together.

Check out DavidLee469 new Bang Dream book, I'll be giving it a read as well.
