FULL SUMMARY: Riko is now in Paris with Soushi for 4 months. The first time wasn't really the best. So only on the 4th month was she able to really take in France. However, no matter how hard she tries, those "precious memories" she and Night made just won't stop visiting her. Soushi truly loves her and tries his best. He knew she couldn't forget Night. So he would let her remember him, but he would definitely make her love him more!

Riko knew what Souhi was thinking. She was really happy. But, just as she thought, she just can't let go of the IC Chip that was always with her anywhere she goes, anytime. NO, it's not that she can't, it's just that she won't. And she always knew that. But she decided to live with Soushi anyway. She would absolutely be a great Pastry Chef for Night, just as he wished she'd be.

Things are a little on the good side. Riko's walking forward. However Night has left his tomb and was stolen. Why was he stolen? Riko is then faced with a choice she must make. Whether to live her life with Soushi and her dreams, or the real life for the one she named Night? There were three person in this world born with knowledge far beyond the generation now. And they asked Namikiri, a great "just an electrician" to join them into creating the something that would be remembered and praised for, for eternity. And this is what's presented to Riko as a gift. However, if she so chooses this gift, she must never give it back, hate it, run away from it, or forget it. She will become the life of this gift. Her love is what will give life to this scrap of burnt metal. If she so chooses.

Here is the story of how love can turn the impossible to possible. How Riko found her one true happiness and how Night accepted his fate. This is where Soushi sighed and nodded as he said okay to letting Riko choose who she'd be happy with. A twist, a drama and comedy that revolves around one thing. LOVE.

Be sure to read.

Author's Note: Ya minna. Ogenki desu ka? Hahaha! Screw the formality. I've just finished Zettai Kareshi (JDrama) and I loved it! But I cried a lot on the ending. I wasn't satisfied at all! I want more! Why did Night had to die? There's no way I'd let that happen! So I'm writting now for MY OWN satisfaction. Can't help it if you don't like this. But this is definitely the best love story for Riko and Night for me. So, YOROSHIKU NAA?

"Omae..." a voice said. "Doko da?"

Foot steps echoed through out the empty, cold hallway. The lights were dim and there was no one around. No security, no scientist, not a single personnel of the building were present. Just three man in black cloaks with their faces hidden in a white, pattered masks. "Atta..." a deeper voice casually said.

"Yoshii! Hurry and unlock it!" a livelier voice replied in excitement.

"Hai hai." the man who found it crouched down and inserted a very little and slim disk to the lock of the door. After some moments the red light on the lock turned green and access was granted.

"BARCODE wa?" the lock spoke.

The man who first spoke smiled. When the one accessing the lock said the barcode he grinned wider. His eyes narrowed and a plot reflected in them.

"Master." the lock said. "oNamae wa?" it asked his named.

The man crouching down smiled conceitedly and the man who was plotting just then spoke in a seemingly low and gentle voice, "Hitsugaya...Sakai."

After the lock was opened and the tiny disk was taken out. The door opened and there inside lie the container of their objective.

The man with the white mask patterned with red Phoenix wings and a lively voice laughed, "Haha! Target; 01, confirmed!"

The man doing the lock also smiled, "and in our hands."

"Omaera..." the plotting man called out "Koi yo."

The container was left empty and the three man was gone in a matter of minutes. Without leaving any trace of their hacking or breaking in, they left a message inside the container. Another tiny disk that was transparent.

"Soushi! Nee Soushi!" came a chirping voice. She paused and patted for a while and continued on. "Mou! Don't run too fast. With these shoes I can't keep up."

"Haha! Gomen, gomen. Got a little excited there." he said back with a wide grin. Soushi walked closer to the girl and poked her cheek. "Hora yo. Making that face again, Paris won't welcome you with that. Waratte, waratte." he said smiling really wide for her to copy.

When the girl was about to smile, a memory came to her mind.

"Riko no egao ga daisuki nan da."

The girl looked down.

"Zutto waratte nee?"

She smiled just faintly and nodded. Soushi watched her and fought back a worried face.

"Ore, Riko no koto daisuki da kara."

She took a deep breathe and smiled a full one now. Soushi also smiled. The last memory that came to her was like an invisible lighting that struck her. She did great on standing still and keeping the smile on her face. Just that she did real bad on holding back a drop of tear from her eye.

"Riko..." Soushi mumbled.

"Nnn," Riko shook her hear and smiled, "daijoubu. Let's go?" Riko took hold of Soushi's hand and started running to their destination.

She smiled and decided to replay that last memory before going on with the rest of the day.

He walked to her, slowly. He could barely move now, the heat from his body was burning so he tried his best to cool it down, and hug the worried face in front of him. He walked right in front of her and slowly he took her in his arms and smiled "Aishiteru..." he whispered in her ear so gently and warm. The last 'I love you' she heard from him to her with his own voice.
