Unspoken Memories

(Chapter 1)

Everything was dark and empty; I had no Idea if I was visually impaired or the darkness is just too intense.

"Am I dead?"

I was floating motionless out here in this dark empty space with no idea of what is happening. Time had no meaning and everything was void. Out in the darkness I saw a vague image of two kids playing in something that looks like a sandbox, the boy and the girl had no face. But the mood of the scene was really obvious the two kids were really happy playing.

"THERE! It's finally done; our very own sand castle!"

"HAAA! Its' beautiful!... Thank you_!"

For some odd reason I can't hear their names and I had no idea on what is actually being shown

A car stopped by the park gates, as the car doors open a tall woman went down and walked towards the two kids. The woman talked gibberish and the only thing that I understood was her last few words "it's time to go" the girl started to cry as she was being dragged towards the car then she shouted "NO! YOU CAN'T TAKE ME AWAY FROM HIM! _! SAVE ME!" the boy tried to reach out to her and grabbed her hands, but the woman proved to be stronger. The boy watched helpless as the girl was taken away from him. The boy cried and cried as the car drove away. The boy was left all alone with the memory of the girl being taken away and the sandcastle that they built together crushed.

Then a strong force hit me in the chest again and again, I heard people shouting there was some kind loud steady sound coming from somewhere. The image suddenly fades away and everything became dark again. I can hear beeping sounds and loud cries. Finally, I opened my eyes and to my surprise I was in some kind of white room. I stared upon the ceiling for quite some time then observed the room and then I realized that I was in a hospital room. There were monitors and medical apparatus all over the room. A woman walked towards me and tears were rolling down her cheeks.

"USUI!" the woman cried out. "USUI! I-I… YOU MADE ME SO WORRIED!"

I was so confused, everything was hazy I had no idea what was going on; there were so many questions going through my head; who is Usui? Who is this woman? What's my relationship with her?

I tried to sit down but I felt pain all over my body. I noticed that there were bandages on my head and my whole body, my left arm and legs are covered in cask. I was in shock when I saw the situation I was in. I don't know what to do, I was about to burst in to tears when the door opened and a beautiful nurse came in.

"Are you feeling alright?" the nurse asked.

"Huh?... uhm… wh- who are you?" I asked weakly.

"I'm your nurse… my name is Misato" she smiled.

"My-My nurse? Why am I in the hospital?"

"You can't remember?"

"I- I don't remember... a-anything"

"Well I guess your suffering from a temporary amnesia from your accident"

Then it hit me, I really was dead moments ago. I was only revived by the doctors here.

"Accident?"

"Yeah, you were in a coma for a week"

I was in a coma for a week? Somehow it felt like only a few hours

"You're lucky to be alive you know"

I did not know how to reply back because I was so shocked by the news. But for now all I know is that I'm thankful to be alive.

I stared at the two women chatting below me. The other woman was asking the nurse a bunch of stuff that I can't fully understand. My head started to feel heavy; my vision was starting to blur and my eyes were slowly closing.

"Maybe I should rest some…more" I thought.

I found myself floating again, motionless in an endless world of darkness.

"I'm all alone; there is no one here except me" I thought

Then a voice echoed "you are not alone"

Then another vague image appeared before my eyes; two kids were running along side each other laughing and shouting; hand in hand they ran through the meadow chasing nothing but their desire for freedom and looking at nothing but the present. They looked like they are having fun together not caring about the world, only caring about each other. The two kids sat down side by side while watching the sun setting down.

"_-kun, promise me that will stay together forever."

"Of course"

From that sad scene I woke up from my deep sleep, the room was brightly lit by the sun shining through the windows. As I observe the room I noticed that there was a girl sitting beside me with her head gently resting beside my hand, it seems like she is asleep. I don't know who she was but she was really beautiful. I also noticed that she was wearing some kind of uniform so I assumed she was a student from some school. After a while of observing, the woman woke up from her sleep, she kinda' looked cute while she was scratching her eyes open. She stared at me for some time and realizing that I was already awake she screamed and hugged me tight.

"USUI! You're finally awake!"

Again I got confused with what was happening but I took courage and asked the girl

"Uhmm.. Can I ask you a question?"

"Yeah, sure!"

"Wh-who are you?"

The girl was shocked with my question she actually did not know how to reply

"H-Hey don't cry… I'm sorry but I can't recall anything"

"Ah yes…." She said as she wipes the tears in her eyes "The nurse told me about your temporary amnesia a week ago"

"Yeah… I don't even know what my name is… Wait WHAT! A WEEK AGO!"

"Yeah… anyway, my name is Misaki Ayuzawa"

"uhm Misaki, am I related to you in any way?"

"Yes! I'm your girlfriend!"

"WHAAAAT? You're my GIRLFRIEND?" I asked with a surprised look on my face

"Yes" she said with a smile

"B-b-b-b-but HOW COULD THIS BE!"

I noticed that she had doubtful look in her face, like there is something really wrong

"Hey, what's with that reaction?" I asked

"You just seem different from the person you were before"

"How would I know who I was if I can't even remember my DAMN NAME!"

"Sorry… your name is Takumi Usui. Here are some of your personal items"

"Takumi Usui? Wait! You had this the whole time and did not even bother to give it to me first?"

"Sorry"

So that Usui from before was me? They were referring to me. As I sifted through my things I found a wallet and thought that maybe it contained something that would prove my identity of who I was before all this mess and I was correct I found a school I.D. in one of the card pockets of my wallet; it was a proof that I really was Takumi Usui and also I am a student at Sekai High. I searched the wallet for more things that might help me remember my past then I saw a picture with me and Misaki in it.

"Ah that was a picture of us during the school festival. That was when we first… well actually that was the very first time I was really honest about how I felt for you" she said shyly.

"oh… uhm… is that so…" then I felt a sudden surge of electricity in my brain and memories started to flash back from that school festival. Every detail of what happened during that day came back; from the maid café of our class, until the time when we kissed each other. Tears rolled down my cheek, emotions stirred up as I realize how important this girl was to me. But only a partial part of my identity became clear. There were still some part missing.
