It's been a week since I was released from the hospital to a place called "Saotome Agency."

The guy was weird and all over the place, all excited and energetic. It was like he was on drugs or something.

Then, I was amitted to m 'room' that I don't remember having.

And, all this angered me. I NEEDED to remember. I WANTED to remember. Who were these people?! Why was I an idol candidate?

And, my senpai. My heart beat fast everytime I saw him. My face would heat up everytime he would talk to me. I think my nose would bleed everytime he would touch me.

And, I was agitated. I needed to sort out my life. What had happened, where did my life go wrong?!

"____________." Ai said, poking my arm. "We have a day off today, come, let's go."

But, even though I had these feelings, he kinda made me mad. The way he just took charge of everything and he thinks he knows everything! MIXED FEELINGS! I NEED MEMORIES BACK NOW!

I stood up. "Hai, Senpai," I said, starting to walk to my closet. "Let me just get ready."

He took my arm. "I've already told you, ____________." he said. "Just call me Ai."

I blushed and marched away. "Valentines Day, huh?" I said. "I wonder if I should wearing something pink..."

He looked hurt, but hid it with his usual poker face.

I wore a rose pink pleated skirt, a loose white shirt with a red heart, a brown belt, sneakers, and put my hair in a ponytail.

It was awkward. We walked at different paces, and I struggled to keep up with him.

"Doushita?" Ai asked. We were in a park, sitting on a bench. I was panting.

"Iie... it's nothing..." I answered. "So, why are we here?"

He looked crestfallen, but hid it with his poker face... again. And, I felt horrible.

"Ne, Senpai, I'm sorry if I'm hurt you--" I started.

"Iie," he said. "It's okay. I don't know what you're talking about."

I nodded, then, noticed the small chocolate cart across the path.

"Ahh! Chocolate!" I cried. "Stay here, ne?"

I walked up to the cart.

"Irashaimase!" The guy said. "Chocolates? For whom?"

"ano, ne," I said. "This is kind of an apology chocolate, or something like that. See that boy over there, that's my crush. I love him, but I think I'm hurting him with my... stupidity, you see, I have amnesia."

The man nodded. "I see... Then, I have the chocolate just for that!"

He handed me a mint green box with a gold tie. "Inside is a dark chocolate sea shell-shaped chocolate with a sweet cream filling."

I took the box, and paid for it. "Arigato."

He nodded. "Good luck, and I hope you get your memories bak soon!"

I walked back to Ai. "Hai," I said, holding out the box to him.

He took the box. "Arigato."

Unwrapping it, he took the chocolate into his palm, and easily popped it into his mouth. He chewed slowly, savoring each sweet bite.

He swallowed. "Oishi!' he said.

"Honto ni?!" I cried.

He nodded. And, before I could react, he leaned in and kissed me.

I melted into the kiss, never wanting it to end. I closed my eyes. And an image danced across my vision. Tsubasa's angery face, and Ai's sad one. Pain burned into the back of my head.

I separated from Ai quickly.

"_____, doushita?" He stopped short when he saw tears streaking down my cheeks.

"Iya da..." I whispered. "I... I don't want these memories!"

"________?!" He cried.

"I... I... I..." There was a sort of heat in my head, as if I were burning up from a fever.

I started coughing, clutching my head, falling into his chest. The world instantly blacked out.

I awaoke. It smelled like disinfectant. There was humming of machines. There was the sound of talking.

"Senpai?" I called, hearing his familliar voice.

He turned to me, a scientist with him.

"______." He sighed with relief. "I'm so sorry, I should've warned you about it earlier... I was worried you might be freak out, I didn't want to add more troubles."

The scientist shook his head. "It was a mistake, but..." He took a deep breath, keeping me in suspense. "You are a cyborg now, _________."

I stayed silent, shocked to the core.

"When you hit your head against that wall... Took much head damage was taken. Your eyesight, your memories, the way you would talk, act, everything about you would've changed. It was a good thing Ai had talked to me right after the incident. I saved you, but... there's only so much that I could do! You have everything back! All except your memories. If you over think them or have any rememberance of them, this could happen again. And, it will get worse over time... again, I'm sorry."

I looked to Ai with feaer. "S-so... I'm not normal?"

The scientist suddenly laughed. "You're just as normal as Ai over here, ________-chan. You see, Ai is an android."

"EH?!" I cried.

Ai took a seat beside me, hugging me. "I know it's a lot to take in, _____."

I nodded. "it is."

"But," Ai said. "Most people wish that they could have amnesia, forget the past and start fresh. So... let me introduce myself again."

He took a deep breath. "My name is Mikaze Ai. I'm 15 years old, and __________. I don't care about the no love policy, nor do I care that you are a cyborg. Kimi ga suki data, honto suki datta! And, I want you to remember these words forever. Because, even if you lose your memory again, or forget about my feelings, I'll be sure to remind you each day. Happy Valentines Day."

He hugged me tighter, remembering that kissing me brought back memories and pain.

The Valentines wasn't so bad... I guess. So, maybe starting with a new slate would be to my advantage.

Or so I thought.

YAY! HAPPY VALENTINES DAY! (Kinda, I osted this like two hours before the actual Valentines Day) But, I bet you didn't see that coming!
