Shiho woke up with a start. Where was she? She didn't remember a single thing. She was on the ground of a kitchen, and, as she ventured out, she saw that the living room was filled with strange inventions.

How did she get here? She had no idea.

What was she doing here? She didn't know.

When did she get here? She felt shocked that she didn't know the answer either.

What was her name? Her mind was blank. Except for the word, 'Sherry'. But that can't be her name, right? what type of name would that be?

Who was she? She didn't know, herself.

----

Shiho knew she had to belong somewhere, if not here, Maybe someone was looking for her. She closed the front door behind her, and set off on her journey.

----

"Gin. There's been a sighting of Sherry in Beika."

"Really? It's not like her to be so negligent about hiding herself, Vodka."

"The information is from a trusted source, who swears that it is Sherry."

"Very well, we'll go."

"Vermouth is coming too."

"We'll go when she arrives."

"Yes, boss."

----

"There you are, we have been looking everywhere for you, Sherry." Gin smiled his trademark cruel smile and raised his gun, pointing it at Shiho. Vermouth stood next to him, and Vodka stood behind them. They were all wearing triumphant smiles.

"Huh? You are...?" Shiho stared at them, not understanding. Why do they want to kill her?

"Don't play stupid," Gin sneered, but Vermouth cut him off.

"Something about Sherry is really weird. Don't fire. I'm going to seek further instructions from him." she said, taking out her mobile phone. After a short muttered conversation, Vermouth turned to face Gin and Vodka.

"Take her back to the organisation headquarters with us."

"What? Are you sure? She could be faking," said Vodka.

"Faking or not, he wants to bring Sherry back," Vermouth replied.

----

"So. Sherry. A nice reunion, I might say," said the boss unfathomably, staring at the strawberry blonde. "Do you know anything about yourself?"

Shiho shook her head.

"Anything about here?"

Shiho gave the same response.

"Anything about Gin, Vodka and Vermouth, the people who brought you here?"

Another shake of the head.

'This might be good,' the boss thought. 'This way, we'll tell her what we want her to remember. She won't know about her sister's death or her dissatisfaction about her drug. She'll once again be Sherry, head of the APTX 4869 department.'

----

Days went by. Days turned into weeks, weeks into fortnights [A/N: and so on and so on]. Shiho was beginning to settle back into the Black Organisation's routine. And as for not remembering anything before [A/N: I refuse to say 'amnesia'], Shiho was beginning to forget that ever happened. She thought that she had been in the organisation all her life, and APTX 4869 was just a drug she had created, and was of no further importance.

Walking along the corridors of the organisation headquarters, Shiho felt confused. Why was she getting a feeling, a feeling she couldn't comprehend? A feeling that she forgot, but never knew in the first place?

She was so deep in thought she didn't notice another person walking along the same hallway, equally deep in thought. Suddenly they collided, sending the papers that Shiho had been holding, flying.

Shiho looked down at her victim, and gave a start as she realised that the girl was only about twelve years old, in a school uniform with her long dark hair tied up in a high ponytail. She didn't look like she belonged in the Black Organisation headquarters at all.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to crash into you!" The girl apologied. Then her eyes widened. "Hey, aren't you Sherry?"

Shiho gasped. "How did you know my codename? You're not in the orgainsation, are you? You're too young! It's too dangerous!" Almost after the words tumbled out of her mouth, she wondered why she had said that. Wasn't she void of emotions? Why is she she concerned for the girl's safety? Why? WHY?

"Don't worry!" The girl grinned as if she hasn't got a care in the world. "I'm going to be fine!"

Shiho frowned. Did she hear right?

The girl frowned when she saw Shiho frown. "You're different from the rest of them," she whispered to her. "They like me, but they don't worry about me being in the organisation. Who are you?"

This question caught Shiho off guard. She realised that she actually didn't know really anything about herself. Sure, there were the facts that the organisation had told her, and she remembered them, but it felt like there was something else. Something else that she had forgotten. In fact, a lot she had forgotten.

"I don't know," Shiho heard herself whispering back.

"Well, don't worry!" The girl winked. "I'm sure you'll remember! Just try your hardest, and don't be scared that you're going to recall something sad! After all, it's your life!"

Well, that's another chapter! Hope ya like it! *Wink*
