y/n flutters her eyes. she woke up and was greeted by a sight of the wooden ceiling, and a dim lamp on the roof, providing enough source of brightness across the room that was definitely not hers. so she quickly got up and gasped for air immediately.

"HAAAH!"

she felt her lungs racing. y/n placed her hand on her chest, she was panting heavily.. after a few minutes, she calmed down and found herself in someone else's bedroom. y/n took a glance around the room. "..where am i??" she asked herself.

she looked down to her right, to see Itto sitting on a stool beside the bed. he was peacefully sleeping, aaand.. somewhat loudly snoring. with his head and his chin propped next to her on the bed. his red horns was touching her thigh, "ow" y/n hisses, as his pointy sharp horns poked her. she moved her legs and brought up her knees towards her chest. y/n ruffled his white fluffy hair and chuckled.

"ahaha, it's you again.."

Itto groaned and mumbled some words, he was still half-asleep. y/n heard the sound of a heavy rain and thunders, she turned her head to the left and moved the curtain a bit to see the view outside the window. the sky was getting dark, the moon was shining, and the window was filled with tiny raindrops, sliding down the glass.

y/n leaned her head on her knees with her arm hugging around it. she stared at the raindrops at the window and tried to remember what happened. unfortunately she couldn't really remember anything. her mind was blurred out. not a single thing scattered through her head about the incident with the redhead woman. y/n zoned out for a while.

 "..hm?" Itto lifted up his head and rubs his eyes.

"oh you're finally awake!!" he said cheerfully.

y/n quickly turned her head to see the oni, "Itto what happened?" she said with a confused look written on her face.

Itto was confused as well. he shakes his head, "woah woah woah! i should be the one asking you that question."

"i don't remember anything, rather than walking out of an art shops supply yesterday " she shrugged

"yesterday?? that was daaays ago. okay- whatever. what about the redhead woman that took you away?"

she got more confused by what the oni said. "redhead woman..? what and who are you talking about??"

Itto looked at her with disbelief, "you REEEAALLY don't remember anything? ANYTHING AT ALL?!!" he yelled

"well if i knew then i'd tell you."

Itto took a deep breath and sighed. "okay soo.. about a week ago we were on a chase with some redhead woman that took your basket filled with art supplies, long story short. she took you away, and then at the end of the day i found you lying down near a wrecking house. you weren't heavily injured or anything but i noticed you had some small scratches, so i took you in and looked after you. and then uhmm.. eeeehh- you were passed out for a week. and now here you are."

y/n dropped her jaw open and had to process what Itto just said. "okaay okay, i get it now. but.. i still don't remember anything though"

"did she do anything to make you lose your memory and made you pass out for a week??" Itto asked.

she remembered the pain when vex injected the sharp needle to her neck, but she only remembered the pain. not the incident. y/n quickly wrapped her hand around the back of her neck, she hisses. "i think they did something to my neck.. again. i still can't remember it"

both of them went silent, y/n zoned out again staring at the oni, while Itto stares back at her (e/c) eyes.. it was an awkward moment for them

"ah- sorry.." y/n shakes her head, and turns away her glare from his crimson eyes. she moved her leg- "ow!" she suddenly felt pain on her ankle that made her jolt. her ankle wasn't fully healed yet..
