Aoi P.O.V

I walking to school and I saw Shark running 'Why is he running? Is he being chased by someone?' I followed him, when I placed my hand on his shoulder, he jumped and turned around to see me 

"Shark, are you feeling okay?" I asked him in a worried tone, he relaxed a little 

"Oh, it's just you Aoi." Then Yuma, Tori and Bronk came, Yuma asked Shark if there's something wrong and we heard the boys swooning over a girl, it was Rio Kastle, Shark's little sister. She approached us 

"Sheesh Reginald! I thought we'd walk to school together. Why did you leave me behind? What are you, too cool to be seen with your younger sister?" I'm happy that she's feeling better and she's very pretty too 'I wish I was pretty as her...' I also noticed how Bronk is acting and realized he has fallen for her 'I wonder... Will I ever have that kind of feeling for someone?'

Time skip~ Girag P.O.V

"I see. So you would like me to win Yuma's Numbers from him Girag." 

"That's not all. I want you to win me someone else's Number too. Shark and Aoi!" 

"Ah, Shark. It just so happens that his younger sister Rio, is now attending school here. For Aoi, such a quiet young girl even the boys admire her shy and quiet nature. But none of them have the courage to confess their feeling for her." Wow. Guess she's popular but I don't think she realizes that. I ordered my puppet to get Rio and use her as bait for Shark to get his Number card. 

"But of course Girag, I will do everything I can in the name of Barian World." 

"In the name of Barian World" The others changed as well 'This time, the numbers will be mine and Barian World will be unstoppable!'

Lunchtime Aoi P.O.V

We were on the roof eating our lunch when I heard Tori talking to Rio 

"I'm glad you were finally well enough to leave the hospital. So you're 100% back to normal now!"  Tori asked

"Yep! Good as new. I had to get better because Reginald needs me. He'd lose his head if it wasn't attached to his neck. Why, just this morning he overslept. If I hadn't stopped him, he would have run out of the house in his pajamas." Rio said while Yuma started joking around about Shark's pajamas having shark patterns on them and Rio said that his PJs aren't the worst part, she was about to tell us when Shark yelled 

"Rio, watch what you say! Remember, I've read your diary! So be quiet or else." 'Big brothers shouldn't read do that! It's a invasion of privacy!' I heard Rio 

"Or else what? Well, Mr. Nightlight?" Shark looked embarrassed and let looked away "Just never mind!" Wow, Rio sure knows how to fight fire with fire... She's so cool!

She started talking to Yuma about if he's the one who dueled her brother and won but accidentally and was lucky. It didn't stop him from feeling his popularity from going up but... She called Yuma Kite Tenjo, which made Yuma upset and she mispronounces his catchphrase by saying "I am healing my toe!" I couldn't help but giggle about the situation that is going on.

Then we heard a boy clearing his throat "Excuse me? Ah, at last we meet Rio Kastle!" 

"Can I help you?" Rio asked

"Yes you can. I'm the captain of the soccer team. We need you! Join us and manage our school team. Are you in?" All the other boys started asking Rio to join and manage their team, Rio told them she'll visit each of their teams and select the one that'll be best fit for her. They agreed of course, which made me think... I haven't joined any after school activities or clubs but do I want to join any?

After school

As promised Rio checked the sports and clubs but she said if any of the boys managed to beat her then she'll join their club or manage their team. First, it was soccer and she's crazy! 

"She's challenging them on her own?!" I shouted 

"She said she'll join the one that can beat her. Seems unfair to me." Tori said and I agree with her. When the game started, it was already over 

"Wow... It hadn't been a minute but Rio already beaten them." I said

For the rest of the day, Rio has been unstoppable 'She's amazing!' The boys were upset, so they left saying rude things to her but Rio said 

"It's okay I ignore people like that. Some people resent it when a girl turns out to be more than a pretty face." That's true, wise words Rio 

"You're Rio Kastle right?" We turned around to see three girls in kimonos 

"Excuse me, sorry to interrupt. The president of our club had heard really great things about you. She'd love to meet! Are you free now?" So we followed them to meet their club's president

Floral Design Club

"Thank you for coming Rio. I am Lotus Hanazoe, the head of the school floral design club and I'm pleased you brought  your friends with you." The sound of cutting the flower and her voice is very hypnotic and it's making me sleepy. Before I knew it, I passed out.

Aoi's Dream~

'What... happened...? I was with everyone in the Floral Design Club and I remember Lotus was talking to us about the club too... I guess I fell asleep... I hope Lotus won't be upset with me sleeping...' I opened my eyes a little and I was in the world that has the colors of light blue

'This place again...' I opened my eyes completely and realized that I was in front of a castle, it felt weird like I've been here before or lived here. I decided to enter the castle to have a look around

'This castle is beautiful on the outside and inside...' I thought to myself as I continued to walk when I stopped in front of a huge door 'Is it to a throne room...?' I thought as I gently pushed the door open and there I saw 2 people, it looks like they're talking about something but I can't hear what they're saying, so I decided to go closer towards them

"When are you going to let it go? There's no way you saw our daughter" The man wearing a mask that covered the upper part of his face said

"B-but it's true! I would never forget how our daughter looks! She was here in Astral world, she even sang to me and the people at the plaza before she vanished again!" The woman said

'That woman... I remember her... I saw her when I came here last in my dreams' I thought to myself

"Please listen to me! Our daughter is alive!" The woman shouted

The man was about to argue back but he didn't because he's looking in my direction

"I-It can't be..." The man said which confused the woman for a second, when she turned around and saw me, she was crying again

"Aoi!" The woman said as she started running towards me and hugged me again

The man walked towards us and he gently touched my cheek with his hand

"Aoi... Is it really you...?" The man asked

Without thinking, I nodded my head and the man joined in the hug with tears in his eyes

"My sweet daughter... It is you..." The man said as he continued to hug me but it was cut short as my body started to vanish a bit

"Aoi... We'll be waiting for your return with your brother. Please stay safe for us and for your brother" The man said and I nodded before I completely vanished

Aoi's Dream end~

Yuma P.O.V

I was lost in mind while listening to Lotus, when I heard Astral calling me 

"Yuma... Yuma... Yuma!" I snapped out of it and looked at Astral 

"Yuma look all around you!" I looked around and saw everyone asleep while sitting on their knees 

"Why is everyone sleeping?" I asked

"I suspect she has lulled them into a trance using the tenor of her voice."  Astral said and I looked at Lotus

"But why would she? What's she planning?" Astral said the answer may lie in the darkness he sensed and suspects she's the agent for Barian World. My friends fell to the floor still sleeping

"Impressive. You resisted the power of my voice." Lotus said

"What are you up to, huh?" I asked

"I see no harm in telling you. My plan was to use Rio as bait to get to Shark and his Number." Lotus said as her eyes glowed 

"That's so wrong!" I felt angry that Lotus was planning on using Rio as bait 

"Perhaps, but you may like my new plan better. As you avoided group nap time, I will duel you for your Numbers!" 

"Think again! You'll... Ow!" I was about to stand up when my legs started to sting. Oh no... Did my legs fell asleep?! 

"You are funny Yuma. Sad, but funny." Lotus said and I got angry

"I'll show you funny!" I said

"And I'll be here to watching!" I turned my head to see Rio awake and Lotus was shocked 

"Not you too!" Lotus said in a shocked tone

"Rio I thought you were asleep as well" Rio said something didn't feel right, so she pretended to be in a trance, which is a smart move. I told her to stay back but Rio said she's gonna duel Lotus and she's fine with that.

After the Duel~
Aoi P.O.V

I started to wake up from my slumber 

"Weird. I don't remember falling asleep" I heard everyone else waking up too, so we left the club room and started walking home. We saw Yuma, Rio and Shark so catch up to them, but I couldn't stop thinking about the people that I met at the castle ' Are they my parents...? It could be except it doesn't solve the case about what happened to me' I thought to myself then I snapped out of it when I heard Rio talking to me 

"Hey Aoi, I have a question for you. Did you see any clubs that you want to join?" I shook my head 

"No" 

"Then do you have a hobby that you enjoy?" I nodded and she asked what it is 

"... Singing... I love to sing..."

 "That's amazing! You should sing for us someday" I smiled and nodded then Rio started freaking out over a cat and hid behind Shark 'She has a fear of cats?' I giggled a little and I looked up in the orange sky 'I hope I can find the answers that I've been searching for, to help me on who I really am and why did I lose my memories about my past' I thought to myself
