Missing Beat

Chapter 5: New Members

Hey guys, and gals, here is part 6. Last time we had Kazuto confess his past along with Yuuki kissing him on the cheek. He also hosted a party with his parents. We read as he watched Asuna spar with Liz and Sugu and had Yuuki fall asleep at his house. He then shortly took her home only to be caught by Aiko and Yulier on his way out. So who are these new members? How do they know Kazuto? How did Kazuto even join Yami No Sekai? Find out on Chapter 6 of missing beat! See you at the bottom!

I woke up to see that I wasn't in my room. I look around and see Yuuki staring at me. Ah so I'm in Yuuki's room, I thought. "Morning Kazuto! How'd you sleep last night?" She asked. "I slept fine. What about you? How'd you sleep?" I asked her. "Oh I slept great!" She answered. I wonder what has her so excited today?

I get up from the futon, and packing it up and taking it to the closet, and walk to the door. "Where are you going?" Yuuki asks me. "Well I need to get back home and start thinking about our next move." I replied. "Well aren't you going to eat first?" She asked. "Well I was thinking about eating at the house." "Why don't you eat here so you won't walk home on an empty stomach." She said. Man she really doesn't want me to leave does she?

"Ok I guess that won't be too bad." I say. "Yay!" She squealed. Something is bothering me about her behavior today. I open her door and start to walk towards Aiko's door and knock on it softly, but loud enough for her to hear it. "Come in!" I hear her say, letting me know that she was awake.

I open the door and see her in her pajamas. They were yellow and had little bunny printings on 'em. I looked at her hair and see it all ruffled up, letting me know that she just woke up. She also had a drool line on the side of her face.

"Well good morning Kaz!" She said enveloping me in a bone crushing hug. "Can't...breathe!" I gasped as I thought I saw a light for a moment. She quickly loosened her hug enough for me to breathe.

"Good mornig to you too Aki!" I said, giving her a new nickname. "Aki? Who's Aki?" She asked releasing me from the hug and walking over to her mirror to brush her hair. "That's your new nickname. I just came up with it and I thought you would like it." I told her, hoping that she would like it. "I actually think it sounds nice!" She replied. Thank for because i didn't have time to think of a better one.

I notice that she is having trouble doing her hair. I asked, "Would you like me to help you with that?" She looked over at me with a face said, 'Please?' She nodded and walk behind her. I was doing her hair into a messy bun, but one that I thought would look cute.

Once I was finished, I handed her a mirror so she could see for herself. "How are you so good at doing people's hair, Kaz?" She asked with a shocked look on her face. "I have a younger sister and she begs me to do her hair, and plus, I used to do yours a while back when you asked me to." I simply answered.

She gave me another hug and I returned it with one arm. "Thank you for always being there for me before I lost my memory and now, and thank you for bringing my sister back as well." She said. "No prob, and I would've done it anyways so yeah." I replied. She started laughing, hysterically that is. In all honesty, it was a little cute. "Well I'm here now, and I promise that I will continue visiting. I'm not going to leave you all alone with you, your parents, and your lil' sis." I told her.

"Hey Kazuto?" She starts to ask. "Yes Aki?" "Do you think that you can tell me what happened to the band now and how I lost my memory?" She asked in a little bit of a sad tone. "I'll tell you and your parents about it at breakfast." I answered her question in a reassuring tone of voice. "Okay."
