Suspense and Risks

Haha finishes another chapter. *random applies from audience* thank u thank u! Haha jk. That's how happy I am to find my story progressing nicely. Enjoy and thx for reading!

I kind of wish I had my memories back. Eventually he does answer. "I'll go out first." He says, not giving me an opportunity to answer or to even stop him in his state. This time, no knives are thrown. "So you the little twit who's dragging out my job. I've come for Sakura Sakura and Olive...." Ogami doesn't allow the assassin to finish. "Yeah I know, you've said it more times then any normal person can handle. Who hired you." The person steps out from behind the bushes, reveling herself. She is a girl! "Let the girl come to the pond down the hill, and I won't have to kill you two. Ogami Rei. I'll give you a five minutes before I'm back. Then there will be no more compromises." "I hardly think thud is a comprise." I mumble to myself, pretty sure I'm the only only one who heard it. How does she know Ogami? A knife is flung from the woods, slicing Ogami's arm. "That's a warning!" And she's gone. I rush out to Ogami, examining his wounded arm. "Only a graze." I breath a sigh of relief before placing my forehead on his shoulder. Then I realize how close we are.... And he hasn't moved. I lift my head to give his face a stare down, only to notice he isn't looking at me, his gaze is latched on to the forest. "Ogami." I whisper, still no reaction. "Ogami." I try again, this time pulling a strand of his hair lightly. This gets a reaction. "You ok?" He asks, looking me up and down before dragging my inside. I look at myself. "I look good to me." Very slightly, I hear a sigh, making me smile. Ogami does care. "Thanks for saving me back there." My hand goes to rub my neck when Ogami's reaches for it with a hint of a smile on his lips. He on,y smiles when we're alone. With Toki around, he's always so alert. It's as if Toki is the threat. I feel myself sadden at the thought before peeking up again. "Nervous habit." I giggle and allow my hand to be lead to my side by Ogami's. He's about to leave when he stops in his tracks, as if sending my need to flee in Order to save his life. "Don't even think about it." He gives a hard glare in my direction before Toki enters the scene. "Oh, is Olive trying to be a hero again?" I give him the "what do you know?" Look while he gladly answers. "I heard the whole thing. You or Sakura aren't going olive, I still have my powers, remembers?" I sigh in relief. I totally forgot about him. "Looks like your of some use after all Toki. Give yourself a pat on the back." I tease, no longer worried about the assassin. Then I stop. Why do I have full confidence Toki can take her? He's not a serious guy at all! "I mean, make sure not to mess up." I correct my earlier compliment. Still, Toki doesn't buy it. "Sure olive. But it's not healthy to deny the ace that you think I'm pretty dang awesome." I roll my eyes with a smile and leaving my answer unsaid. I have a feeling these two know me well enough to know what that means. I just wish I knew them a little better. I see a very red apple in the kitchen, taking a turn for it. Ogami follows me, while Toki heads back to protect Sakura incase the mad woman comes back. "We need to hurry this up." Ogami tells me. I nod my head and wash the apple. "Red, I know know why I find red really comforting." I mumble to myself before drying the fruit off. Now I'm next to Ogami again, I stare at that apple, finding myself wondering if I've ever had one reader. "You ok?" Ogami asks on our way back. "You looked like you were pretty cold when you got back. Even in kanda's jacket your shaking." Now that he mentions it, I do feel pretty cold. "I am, it keeps getting worse." I wish to say more, but my gaze lands on that apple and a face with red hair pops into my mind, making me stop in my tracks. "Red haired boy?" I whisper, Ogami stares. My head starts to heart and my vision gets blacker and I know what's happening. An image comes to mind of a red haired boy carrying me on his back, telling me about neon Mari. WAIT! Is he calling me me neon maru? Wait, we're pretty close together, is he my boyfriend? Like a zap of lightning, the image evaporates and I'm left breathless. "Ogami, this is a really weird question, but.... Did I ever have a red headed boyfriend who likes neon maru?" Ogami's gaze shifts to laughter. He's laughing at me? "What's so funny?" I pout? Wondering if this is the most he'll ever laugh around me. It's more Of a chuckle really. "You mean Yuki?" Yuki. ZAP! As if I've been electrocuted, I give a loud groan. "I know Yuki." I rub my head, pushing myself to remember. "Every time I'm close to remembering, I either get a short image or a zap." I hiss in frustration, just about had enough suspense in my short life. Nothing more is said about this Yuki guy, nod he never did answer me about the whole boyfriend thing. "Ogami! Leave out the suspense! I think I'm having enough with my memory problem, don't you think?" But like I said, Yuki is no longer in discussion. I wrap the jacket closer around me, trying to get some body heat to warm me up. Why is it getting worse? Am I getting a cold? The first thing I do when we get to the room is put on three wool sweaters and three sweat pants. Warm again, I lay on the couch, awaiting the assassin. "Think she was lying when she said she'd come back?" Sakura breaks the silence after a few moments. We told her everything and it's been at least twenty minutes since then. "I highly doubt it. She probably just wants us to think she gave up only to strike when we least expect it." Toki speaks up, sleep in in tone. No, Toki can't go to sleep. The. Again, I'm feeling pretty tired myself. Still, I find it pretty unfair if I get to sleep and Toki doesn't. Ogami is out cold with his lost situation, and Sakura isn't dar behind. Ten minutes later, Toki and I are the only ones left fighting off sleep. "You should get some shut eye to Olive." He sighs, resting his head on his hand while his elbow wedges a dent in my mattress. I lay my head back on the mattress after taking a seat next to him. One, I know it's safe because he's to sleepy to be pervy, and two, I don't want him to fall asleep. "Now how much fun would that be for you? You'd probably fall asleep to." He adds on to my teasing, but points the finger at me. "Heck! I'd have tons of fun watching you sleep." I groan, apparently he's not that tired after all. "I might have mistaken your expressions, I think I will take a nap since you awake enough to be a pervert." I taunt, half way up from my sitting possession, he grabs my hand and takes me back down. "Sorry, sometimes I forget you not remembering about us anymore." His expression darkens a little, then saddens completely. I've never seen the Toki so forlorn. "Toki." I sigh, again putting the back of my head on the bed behind me. Nothing is said for a few seconds, before I feel him shift from his position. Now he has the front of his body facing me, but not saying a word, waiting for me to collect my thoughts. I still can't believe we were together. If we were, we probably broke up. "Can you tell me something we did together back then? Maybe bring a spark of recognition back?" "I'm not sure words can cut it." He murmurs before caressing my cheek. I lean into his touch before realizing what I'm doing. Faster than usual, my eyes give out and darkness clouds. Then and image of Toki looking at me in the streets takes over. He comes closer to me, then does the same thing he's doing now. He looks about twelve, maybe thirteen at the time. I inhale deeply as I once again find toki's more adult like face in front of me. "Toki! How old are you?" I question quickly, wondering if my words are even said to where somebody normal could understand them. "Eighteen." He whispers, hand still rubbing my face. I remember. It was in the streets, but when? Why were we in the streets while it was pouring rain?" I do a little freak out when Toki's other hand reaches for my face and suddenly, I find him cradling my face. Toki? THE player? "Maybe this'll jog your memory a little better." Our lips are just about to meet and when my eyes close, his presents disappears as a light breeze passes my face. I open my eyes and see a fist in front of me.... Ogami's fist. Talk about blast from the past from the park. "Can't you stop being a pervert for a few seconds?" He breaths hard, anger clearly in his tone. Toki doesn't plan to be out done, so he retorts, "is THE Ogami jealous? You didn't strike me as somebody who gives a damn." Ok, this is going down hill fast. "Ogami, Toki was just helping me regain some of my memory." His face hardens and the cold face from before turns my insides into jello, not in a good way. "Is that what this guy has been feeding you? Don't be stupid." I narrow my eyes in anger. "Well I have to stoop that low if somebody with the only other pair of blue eyes in this room won't clue me in!" Angry tears fill my line of vision. Ogami is just about to say something else when a crash of my bedroom window leads to another story. Knives stick in my wall and my hopes of the assassin bluffing are thrown to the lions. "So you didn't take my advise huh? But since I'm such a nice girl, I'll let you keep your lives if the two come with me." Sakura awakens, rushing to me. Toki stands, prepared to fight. The sleep is washed from all our eyes and I'm praying my parents are asleep. The epic battle beignets while Sakura and I hide behind him. Minutes pass and Toki isn't doing to bad. He's actually winning, until he crunches up in a infant position. The woman stops throwing knives and watches her enemy crash to the ground. And who said people don't have valor? A poof brings Toki back, only a lot smaller. When he gets up, he looks at himself and curses. "Shit." Oh no, Toki went lost. Before Toki can shout run, Ogami already has us on our feet sprinting outside. This could have gone better. We burst through the door as he takes us to another room, but before we can make it, we're cornered by the assassin. "With is could have gone better." I repeat the words I thought only seconds ago. "You have that right." Sakura answers while Ogami scans the room, but stays still with Sakura and I behind him. I don't know how I know, but the way her fingers move around another knife moves my arms into shoving Ogami and me turning to the side. It's like I've done this before, I know the ways of the knife and when somebody has their mind on throwing. I'm getting pretty tired of asking myself what I am or who I was, so if I live through this, I'll need up with Hitomi the day after tomorrow and get some answers. I know I don't have time to catch the knife if I move ogami, so I turn to the side and allow the flying object to penetrate my arm. Again, why the arm. I let out a pained scream, all hopes of fending for myself at the lake squashed. Then again, with Sakura I think we could at least put up a fight. "Olive! You idiot!" Ogami lifts himself up, he to in pain, but flatters me by not showing a think a running to my staggering body. Sakura jumps right to my assistance and for a second, the assassin is forgotten. "Stop! We'll go with you." I shout as she reaches for another knife, obviously having the intention of hitting anything in her way. Her grip on the dagger loosens and she gives a bold smile of victory. There are to many people full of themselves these days. "Olive." Ogami whispers, gripping my arm with out the knife in it. Sakura tries to take out the knife so she can take a piece of her shirt and bandage me, but the assassin won't have it. "Touch her and all three of you die." Ugh, I hate controlling freaks. Non the less, I surrender and take my leave out the door, the assassin having a knife trained on Ogami incase he has any ideas of stopping her, but he stays still. I see his eyes waver to his watch and I can't help but notice the smirk rising in his tone. That's an improvement from his lost state. Out of no where, I get a miner headache and I notice I can nearly feel my fingers and toes. A chill runs up my spine and the layers I wear don't keep me warm. My body begins a low shiver, but for some reason I feel like worse is about to come. That's right! I have this weird power! Why be human when with a lift of my hand, I can save all our lives? I lift my frozen hand to the assassins face as she slowly steps toward us, eyes trained on Ogami. I close my eyes, seeking that jolt I tend to get when I think happy thoughts. A second later I feel the power, yet, it's weaker than before. A shimmer, or maybe a zap? Appears on the assassin's back and she flies forward, dropping the pointy object. I hear a satisfying clink as metal meets floor and giggle at my little victory, but I don't really have much time to enjoy it. My body collapses on itself, leaving the last thing my eyes as Sakura asking me what's wrong, and Ogami becoming stronger. His twenty four hours must be up. How did I know it was twenty four hours again? A sharp pain, as if somebody shoved a spear into my back causes my mind to abandon all thought and replace it with pain. Did the assassin get me after all? Is the last thought I muster before I hear my screams full the air, and the smell of burning flesh.
