Moonlight Cures The Memory

Chapter 3

I open my eyes. Mio?

Mio: Yuki! Oh, I'm glad you're awake.
Yuki: Mio? Are you... the one who... is calling me just now?
Mio: Yeah. Why?
Yuki: Uhh, nothing. Umm... Where's... Aki and Shun?
Mio: Some cruel travelers mess up with with the villagers. So, the both of them had gone to settle it down. Wait--! How can you already know Shun? You've never met him before, right.
Yuki: Huh?

Hold on a minute. Okay, some minutes. Didn't I just treat him or something?

Yuki: But... I just met him. You're there! He was covered with wounds and blood. And that poison sword--
Mio: What poison sword? That thing... I don't think it's exist. And also, when Shun's back, you've already fainted after we fought about my age. And, he's not covered with wounds or such things.
Yuki: Is that so? I... must be dreaming, I guess.

It's just a dream? *sigh* Then, I feel something warm on my hand. Mio? He's... holding my hand?!?!

Mio: Are you okay? I'm so worried. Please don't do that again! I don't want to lose you.
Yuki: Mio... I...
Mio: Joking!! Hahahaha....
Yuki: You tiny hairy, furry, fluffy old monkey!! I-di-ot!!

Mio run away and leave me blushing all red. Wait-- Blush? Red? Blush! Red! Have I...? Gulp. No way...

Aki: Have you fell for Mio?
Yuki: Hmm... I don't know.. Maybe...

Wait! Aki? Since when he was there? Wait! What on this earth I told him?! No! No! Yuki-baka! Baka! Baka!

Yuki: Huh? What? Where? Uh? 5 + 6? What? Yes! Eh? No! No! Equals to 11!

What am I doing?!? It's so embarrassing!! I want to jump over the cliff again! Hmm... Will I fall on Aki again? Maybe this time I'll fall for him. ~_~. Hmm... Ahhh!! What am I thinking? *shakes head fastly*

Aki: Pfft...

I look at him and our gazes meet.

Yuki: Did you just... laugh?
Aki: *cough* No.
Yuki: *giggles*
Aki: Cute...
Yuki: What?

Did he just said....? I'm not deaf yet, right?

Aki: Nothing. *calm face*
Yuki: You've said something!
Aki: No, I didn't. *calm face*
Yuki: Yes, you did.
Aki: I want to go and get some fresh air.

And, he leave me just like that. Alone... In a room... No one... I want to go out too! Then, I start to have a walk. It's such a peaceful place and I really, really don't know how but I ended up on the rooftop. It's about sunset so I think it's a suitable time. I take another step and I tripped and fall from the rooftop.

Yuki: Arggghh!! *closes eyes*

Eh? I can't... feel  the ground. I'm not hurt? And, why it's so warm? I open my eyes slowly. Our gazes met. A guy, who wears a mask that covers his eyes, is staring at me carefully. At first, he shocked but then his lips turn into a flowery smile.

Yuki: You're....
???: I'm Hijirikawa Shuichi. This, is the second time a maiden fall into my arms.

His gaze surely get into my heart. Had I've been cursed by a spell to look at his eyes forever?

Shuichi: Are you an angel that fall from the sky for me?
Yuki: *smiles* Well, let's see... I'd fell from the rooftop and not the sky so... NO! Let me down!!
Shuichi: Ah, it's sunset.
