Rin's POV:

"Hey, when we grow up, no matter where ya go, I'll find ya and marry ya!" "Really? No, wait this is a joke isn't it Rin?" "Nope! I PROMISE! - you're awesome!" "T-Thanks, Rin." The girl gave a small smile and kissed me on the cheek. "Here," She handed little me a small bracelet with the initial 'A' and 'R' carved onto it. I was having this really weird dream again. I can't remember the girl's name but she seems to be very important if I kept dreaming about her. I was always seeing her in a third-person view so I always saw what little me looked like. "But this is YOUR copy of the bracelet!" I shouted. "Hang on to it for me and pass it to me when we meet again okay?" She smiled. "- I'll miss you." I looked down witha sad face. "I'll be back for Rin-kun I promise! I'll always be here for you, no matter what!" She grinned. "Promise?" I held out my pinky finger to her. "Of course!" She entwined my pinky with hers.

"Nii-san, Nii-san!" I woke up to Yukio shaking me. "Wow, you woke up surprisingly quickly today." He snickered. I ignored him and yawned, "Weird dream again. It's that girl who I still can't remember." "You promised her something like that and you can't remember her? If she knew about that she would be really upset." I suddenly remembered the braclet she gave me in the dream. I got up and looked around my dressing table. I don't recall having a bracelet that looked like that but it felt so familiar...did I really have it? "What are you looking for? You'll be late for work." "Y-Yeah right...hey since you don't have much stuff to do today, help me find two bracelets with 'R' adnd 'A' carved on it. Bye." I ran out the door as soon as I got changed.

I got hired at this store and I was in charge of cooking and selling free samples of food. Today was a slow day since it was a weekday but it would be really busy at night. Fortunately I didn't work the night shift. I spent a few hours cleaning up and lifting boxes around and soon it was 2pm. The time when some students would start coming over. A girl suddenly walked past me. Cute, quiet and she had big...ya know... Well, she definitely wasn't like other students who came here and made a ruckus. "Oh, her? She comes her quite often. Ya want me to introduce you?" One of the shop assiatants slung his arm over my shoulders and asked. "I...umm..." "Hey, Amber!"

I froze. Amber...that sounded so familiar...now that I looked up at her closely she looked like the older version of the girl in the dream. Her eyes widened when she saw me. "R-Rin? Rin Okumura?" She asked looking straight into my eyes. "Yeah, hey!" I smiled awkwardly. Her eyes suddenly started to fill up with tears and she hugged me really tightly. "I missed you so much! I-I always tried to call you or talk to you b-but my parents wouldn't allow me to a-and...Rin!" She crushed me again. "Rin...she's your GIRLFRIEND?" The shop assistant stared at me like I was some kind of...demon. "HOW COME YOU GET A GIRLFRIEND BUT I DON'T AND I'M FREAKING 26. LIFE ISN'T FAIR!" He said before storming off. "Rin...what's wrong?" Amber looked up at me with the cutest expression I've ever seen.

"It's nothing," I managed a smile. "When does your shift end?" She suddenly switched the topic. "3.30." "Great! I'll buy you some ice cream! Chocolate right?" She giggled and I couldn't help but blush. She was freaking adorable and I couldn't remember her? WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME?! "Sure, but you're gonna wait here for an hour just to-" "I've been waiting to see you for years s-so an hour is nothing much..." She blushed. I'm gonna have a nosebleed if she gets any more cuter than this. "I'm sorry I got all emotional earlier, I just really..." She bit her lip and tunred red again. "S-So...anyway how's Shiro-san and Yukio?" She asked, trying to cover her face with her books. "Yukio's going to this school called True Cross Academy or something. Gramps is still going on with the priest thing."

"Amber?" Her face just went pale for a few seconds. "Y-Yukio's going..." She gulped. "Amber? Hey, what's wrong?" I asked. "What course is he taking?" "Probably something about doctors. He told you before right?"Amber gave a huge sigh. "Is there something wrong?" "W-Well...I'll be transferring to True Cross...next week," She muttered, "But I'll still definitely come over and-" "It's okay! Calm down, now how about I visit you."
"B-But..." "I still have something to give you but I don't have it now... Okay I'll just be honest with you I-I misplaced it please don't get mad at me!" I exclaimed, expecting a loud slap across my face. Amber suddenly started giggling, "I had a feeling that would happen. You need help looking for it?" She smiled. "Thanks...and uh... thanks for not getting mad either..." I blushed, clearly embarrassed that I had lost something so important.

"RIN YOUR SHIFT'S DONE!" Amber gave a squeak and buried her head in my chest. "Umm, A-Amber s-sorry that was my boss a-and...umm...she's really loud sometimes...Amber?" My blush slowly died down when she didn't look up. "Am-" "Ice cream. Now." She pouted at me while blushing. So she was scared. I laughed and went into the staff
lounge, kept my apron, took my bag and followed Amber out the store.

~Amber's POV~

"My scarf!" We both heard a kid shout as her scarf was for some reason flying away from her without a breeze
blowing. I caught the scarf in my hand and pulled it upwards but there seemed to be something weighing it down.
I felt something sharp scratch my leg and I winced in pain. "Amber? What happened? Oh my- why are you bleeding?" I looked down and there was this monkey like thing with huge claws grabbing onto the other end of the scarf. I screamed and let go of the scarf which Rin eventually caught. As soon as he held on to the scarf, he quickly
let go. "Wh-WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?" He shouted. "Rin, try to get her scarf back, I'll bandage myself up. And don't try to knock over too many things." I warned him as I tore off some of my shirt and wrapped it around
my wound.

"It's okay, Nii-san will get it back for you." I gently pet the child on the head and I struggled to get up. "N-Nee-san you don't have to-" "I'm gonna go help your Nii-san, I'll be fine." I shot her a smile before going into the store. "If you're gonna make such a ruckus in here all the time boy then you're fired!" Rin's boss shouted at him. He scowled but left without saying a word. "R-Rin..." "Would you mind if...we went somewhere else for a while?" I nodded and he gave me a weak smile. He suddenly lifted me off the ground princess-style. "I'm sorry you got injured, I'll ask Yukio to take care of it properly as soon as we get home. No ice cream for now." I gave him a warm hug. I could tell he was upset. "I've got your back." I smiled to comfort him a little.

He gave the kid back her scarf before bringing me to a playground. "We used to play here a lot..." Rin said as he put me down on a swing. I laughed, "I thought you forgot." He gave a light chuckle. "Let's go. We can come back here later again, we have to get your wound treated properly." He carried me again and I blushed. I tried to look away from him but I couldn't, instead the blush got worse. I took a deep breath and kissed his cheek. He looked at me and blushed in such a cute way that I could fangirl over it for ages! "Are you feeling a little better?" I asked. He nodded saying, "Thanks for following me...and not forgetting me...and taking care of me today. I guess I owe you one." He carefully kissed my forehead, causing both of us to blush like crazy. "Anyway...umm...Let's go home then."
