Disclaimer: I do not own La storia della Arcana Famiglia, but I do own the OC's Chiyo and Noriko(Nori). I hope this new story turns out good and you enjoy reading it. Please review too :)

Rated M just to be safe for future chapters.

Chapter 1- The Return

"We've been away for so long, but things still look the same as when we were young." My best friend Noriko says as she looks up at the sky. The sun was beginning to go down to soon be replaced by the moon. It was giving me a feeling of nostalgia.

"I wonder if the people we left behind have changed at all." I look over to my old friend with a slight smile as I begin to think of what it was like when were younger.

~Flashback~

"Noriko. Chiyo. Where are you?" Luca called out to us from the back entrance of the house. Nori and I continued to ignore his call as we sat together under one of the trees in the yard. Nori had been reading a book while I was singing quietly to myself. We had made this our daily routine together for as long as I could remember. Nori had been my best friend since we were three years old and for these past fourteen years we had been inseparable. Although for the last couple of months I could see her starting change.

"I guess they don't want to eat any of the tasty food you made for us today." Pace had teased hoping to get us to join them. Nori slowly closed her book at the sound of Pace's voice and smiled. She got up from her place on the ground next to me and brushed herself off.

"I'm going inside to eat with them. Aren't you going to join too?" She questioned looking down at me.

"Maybe in a little bit." I answered her with a smile. She nodded her head and walked into the house to eat dinner. I closed my eyes and enjoyed the evening sunlight and fresh air that surrounded me. Suddenly I felt someone's presence next to me under the tree and opened my eyes to see who was there.

"You're not going to eat dinner with us again?" I looked over to see Debito occupying the place Nori was once in.

"I usually have somewhere to be at around this time of the day. I'll eat later." I answered him as I got up from my spot. As I began to walk away I felt his hand grab my arm and pull me back to him.

"..."

~End Flashback~

I sigh to myself for not being able to remember what happened after that. I feel like it was something important but for the past eight years that Nori and I have spent away from Regalo I have been unable to remember anything else that happened between Debito and I after that time.

The one thing I want most is to regain my memories. I don't believe that I would just forget what had happened between one person and remember mostly everything else that happened then. I've decided to come back home mainly for answers and the help of one particular person. Nori knows this too and supports my decisions. but I also know she has another reason for wanting to return.

I smile at her again as I remember her relationship with Pace. "So are you excited to see him again?"

"I'm excited to see all of the family again." She answers with pursed lips.

"What about Pace?" She looks back at me with a slightly sad smile placed upon her lips.

"I can't wait to see him too, but what if he's upset with me for leaving for so long?"

"Pace is a nice guy and will definitely understand once you tell him. I think everyone will understand our reasons for leaving once we tell them." I try to assure my friend.

"And how are you feeling about getting to see those two again?" Her smiling face quickly turns into one of concern.

"I'm nervous, but its what I have to do if I want answers." I look back up at the sky that was now a lot darker. The sun had completely disappeared and the moon had risen to take its place.

"Why is it that the sun and moon cannot exist brightly together in the sky?" I wondered out loud as we finally reach the family's house.
