Lol, didn't know what to do for this chapter and how to end the conflict with Ch. 9-10... So... Here it is... (P.S. Isn't 'rebut' a funny word?)

I followed Yui's orders for 2 weeks. It was tiring, but worth it. She told me everything... Well, at least I thought was the truth.
But... The last demand was going way too far...
And I did it anyway... Out of my own selfish desire to remember.

I was summoned out of the dining hall by Yui. It was after lunch now, and the sun was shining high in the sky.
"I need you to do something," she said. "The ultimate something."
My heart fluttered. "Then you will answer my ultimate question."
"What would it be?" She asked.
"What was my relationship with Ai-Senapi?" I asked.
A smile flashed across her face. A bad one... But like her other smiles, it didn't last long.
"You love him, right? And he loves you?" She asked.
"O-of course!" I said.
"Well... Before, you hated him. His strict schedule this, and his strict schedule that. You'd complain about him all the time." Yui explained.
"Did I?" I asked, not really sure.
She nodded. "Yes! And, you told me that you were planning to hurt him so bad, that he'll never forgive you!"
"Why?!" I cried.
"Because he... he..." She whispered the rest in my ear. (A/N: I bet your imagination is running wild, lol.)
My eyes widened. "WHAT?! W-why would he do that?"
She nodded. "I'm doing you a favor, you see. I was going to ask you to turn him down and slap him and tell him you hate him."
My heart broke... Sure Ai did that bad thing... But, I think I forgave him.. Right? "Demo-" I started.
"I answered your question." She snapped.
I stood up straighter at her tone. "Hai!"

I cornered Ai in a music room. His eyes lit up when he saw me.
"__________!" He lightly scolded. "You're late!"
"Ai-senpai," I said with a tone that made him stand still. "I can't go out with you, gomen."
He took a step backward, surprised. "Naze?" He asked.
"Because..." I told him what Yui had told me.
"_______, I never-" he started.
I cut him off with a sharp intake of breath... Then, slapped him across the face hard.
I saw tears in his eyes... But, he was an android... He couldn't... She shouldn't be...
But he was! He was crying. I had made the boy of my dreams cry. But... I needed to say it... I was doing a favor for myself... And for Yui, who was nice to me and answered my questions and.... So...
"ANTA O DAIKIRAI!" I yelled, tears streaming down my face.
"_________." He said. "Aishitemasu."
I stayed quiet. Why was he saying that? I just hurt him... He should be mad...
"__________, please.... I'm right in front of you... Don't be fooled."
The scene turned white. Everything in front of me disappeared.
Only Ai's voice remained.

Third POV

Ai stared at the unconscious ___________. It's been weeks since she was knocked unconscious by Tsubasa... Who was now deprived from his free time and working 24/7 and his debut was pushed back 3 years.
Ai didn't think it was enought, but, _________ wouldn't approve if one of her friends was hurt.
He whispered sweet things to her. Described what had happened in his day. What the sky looked like, what was on his mind... He even whispered his dark secret to her-that he loved her.
Suddenly, he saw tears falling from her closed eyes.
The room was dark, only moonlight shone through the window.
He leaned in grabbing her hand. "______." He whispered.
She gasped, her grip tightening on his, and she opened her eyes, alert.
"Ai!" She cried, finding that she could remember what had happened, who she was, who he was.
She hugged him close.
"_________." He muttered again, stroking her hair. "Aishitemasu... You wouldn't believe how many times I've said it."

Your POV
I hugged him, sobbing into his shoulder.
"I can remember!" I said to him. "It was horrible... I couldn't remember you, or my past, or anything... I was an android... And then, it was like I was stripped of my freedom, I couldn't sing or play my instrument... And then, I was their maid for a day, doing their assignments and chores... Then, Yui made me yell at you... And I thought you did something horrible to me... I told you I didn't want to date you, that I hated you... Then I slapped you... You were crying..."
He pulled away from the hug, gently wiping away my tears. "I'm here now, _________." He kissed me lightly and reassuring. "It was all a bad dream."

Yay, another chapter done! Kk, I have to HW... But, did I make your heart go Doki~Doki~?
