After a lot of fun the morning came. Aoi needed some answers. She looked for Amane and found no trace of him. She then found him on the rooftops.

Aoi: "Yugi-kun!"

Amane: "Hm? Oh, Aoi-san what-

Aoi: "Answers!"

Amane: "Eh?"

Aoi: "I need answers Yugi-kun!"

Amane: "Answers to what?"

Aoi: "Why everytime you smile or look my way do I feel so happy?! Why do I feel so nostalgic?! Why does it feel familiar?! Why, why..."

She began to cry, unable to express why.

Amane looked like he saw a ghost. He doesn't look like one all the time. Every full moon he looks like a werewolf for the night. Amane knew why. He knew the answers to every single one of her questions. His curse was he would be able to remember everything but he would turn into a werewolf at every full moon. And all of his friends would be cursed as well. Not even his beloved would have her memories. No one but him.

Amane didn't know what to do. He just wanted her to stop crying. It hurt him that his curse affected her too. So like a child, he cried too.

Amane: "I'm sorry... I'm sorry..." He mumbled those words over and over.

Amane: "Aoi. Please don't cry."

Her eyes widened. She remembered now. She remembered what happened when she was a kid, and what happened with Amane. She remembered everything.

Aoi: "So, we were childhood friends?"

Amane: ?

Amane: "H-How'd you know?"

Aoi: "I remembered everything after you told me to stop crying. Do you remember what happened? When we were little?"

Amane: "Yeah. My airplane got stuck in a tree and you got it out for me. Then you fell out of the tree and scraped your knee. You didn't cry at first, but I could tell you wanted to."

Aoi: "Yup. We became really good friends after that."

Amane smiled.

She felt it again. After Amane's parents died he stopped coming outside to play. He stopped smiling too. The smile she wanted to protect vanished before her.

" I knew you wouldn't remember. Sakura didn't get included in the curse for some reason."

Aoi: "It was a lot of fun." She said, wiping her tears.

Aoi: "Awkward childhood friends hug?"

Amane: "Heh. Sure. You still manage to come up with the weirdest names for everything though."

Aoi: "Hey, Amane-kun."

Amane: "Hm?"

Aoi: "Thank you."

Amane: "You don't have to thank me for that."

Aoi: "Lets go back before we make people suspicious."

Amane: "Yeah."

Yashiro: "Waaaaah! Aoi, where were you?! I woke up and you were gone! Dang it, you didn't do something to her did you? Pervy wolf!"

Amane: "I'm not a pervy wolf! How'd you even come up with that?! You were way nicer when we were kids!"

Yashiro: "Huh? But I didn't know you when I was a kid. I just met you..."

Amane: "Whoops! Haha, it just... slipped out. I guess...."

Aoi: "Nene-chan. We need to talk."

Amane: "N- no. We don't, actually."
