Shade POV
After that, IF escorted me to Planeptune. When we reached the city, IF and I made our way to her friend's home, I think it just took us 25 minutes to finally reach our destination.
When we reached her friend's home, IF went up to knock on the door. We waited for a little while until the door finally opens, revealing a girl. Her hair is a light creamy pink color that is somewhat long and curls along the edges, worn with a black headband with a C patched on the side. Her eyes match her hair color. She wears a tan-white wool styled tank top with big neck and unattached sleeves and matching style boots, but with small ribbons/fuzzy balls at the top. She also wears a red plaid skirt, a black choker with a small heart on it, black-brown kneesocks with light pink heart cut frills, a black hip purse, and heart shaped buttons. Like her headband, both her purse and the heart on the choker has a C logo.
"Hello, Iffy! Welcome back- ah! What happened to him? Is this your friend Iffy?" The girl said.
"Hi, Compa. Actually, we just met a while ago in Virtua Forest. He nearly got beaten up by a horde of dogoos before, so I decide to help him." IF explained.
"Hello, my name is Shade. Nice to meet you." I said while bow to her.
"Hello, Shade! My name is Compa, now please come with me!" Compa said while pulling me inside her home. "How about you, Iffy?"
"I'll report my quest to the Guild first. Don't worry, it won't take long."
"Okay! Now Shade, come here!"
"W-wait I can still walk just fine!"
After a few minutes struggling finally we reach Compa's bedroom. I just noticed that Compa's home is adorned with cream-colored walls and a white ceiling with many decorations. I sit on her bed (because Compa told me so) while she bought a med-kit pack with a lot of bandages.
"Okay, now Shade, please remove your clothes so that I can take care of your wounds."
"Ok." I said while start to remove my battle robe.
She then let out a soft gasp after looking at my body, "Oh my! What happened to you!? You have so many wounds and most of them are still bleeding!"
"Eh!? Really? But I didn't notice it."
"How can you not notice it?! Now please don't move and let me treat you."
"O-ok."
After that, Compa began to treat my wounds, cleaning them so that they won't get infected. A few minutes later she began to bandage my body.
"Uh... Miss Compa, isn't this a bit too... tight?" I said in a rather soft tone, really hurting by the fact that she's slowly turning my whole body into almost like a mummy.
"I don't want this to come off while you're walking! Now if I do this..."
"AGHHH!"
Meanwhile...
3rd Person POV
IF, just finished reporting her quest, starts walking back to Compa's home. "Hmm... maybe I'll buy him some clothes. He can't wear those ripped clothes forever right?"
A bit of thinking later, she decides to take a little detour before going back.
After a few minutes, shopping for some clothes, she finally arrived at her friend's home again. A few knocks later, Compa finally opens the door for her.
"Hey, Compa, how's his condition right now?"
"He's just fine now. And he's resting in my room right now. Oh, what is that Iffy?"
"Just something that he can wear. I'll check him then."
"Okay! Then I'll make some food then. I'm sure he must be hungry."
With that, Compa made her way to the kitchen while IF went to her friend's bedroom. When she opened the door, her vision is welcomed by a nearly mummified figure on the bed with a peace sign on his hand.
The brown-haired Agent couldn't help but sigh, "Oh… Compa..." IF muttered while searching for a scissor to free Shade from Compa's 'overused' bandages.
"*gasp* W-where am I? I was sure that I was heading towards the light…." He said while trying to get up.
"You're in Compa's house right now and by any means please don't try to head towards the light next time..."
Finally seeing the girl who 'saved' his life, Shade exclaimed, "Ah, IF! Welcome back. How was your errand?"
"Well, nothing special. Oh, that reminds me… I bought you some clothes. Here, try it." IF said while giving him a bag of clothes.
"Thank you, IF. You're really kind, I'll repay your kindness somehow."
"Don't mention it. If you're done changing, meet me at the living room. Compa is making you some food."
Shade nodded, "Okay!"
Then, Shade began to hear familiar voices. Kotone's and Kuro's.
Kotone: "She's really a kind girl."
Kuro: "Yeah, you're lucky you got to meet her. She even buys you clothes."
"Yeah, I think a 'thank you' is not gonna be enough. I owe her my life after all."
Kuro: "Aren't you a bit exaggerating?"
"Of course not. I'm willing to sacrifice my life to people who are precious to me...
Just then, something sparked inside the boy's mind. Something… nostalgic… but the sudden flash was just a quick and temporary one. Shade ruffled his hair.
"Huh? I think I remembered something."
Kotone: "R-really? What was it?"
"... I don't know. I could've sworn my memories came back a little a while ago..."
Kuro: "Well, don't push yourself. How about you try your new clothes first?"
"Oh, that's right! Thanks, Kuro-san!"
Kuro: "Sure."
…
…
...
Kotone: "Hey, Kurokami..."
Kuro "...yeah. I know..."
After a few minutes of changing, Shade decides to take a look at his new appearance on Compa's mirror. Now he is wearing a gray T-Shirt, black jeans and white and black sneakers. He also wears a dark blue unzipped hoodie with his necklace's symbol on the back. Of course, he didn't forget to wear his necklace.
"Whoa! This is so cool! I'll go to the living room then, my stomach is starting to make some sounds." Shade told himself, rubbing his tummy in the process.
After he reached the living room, Shade made his may to the sofa near IF who was just playing with her phone. She notices Shade sitting beside her.
"You look great. Do you like it?"
"Yup! Really, thank you IF! By the way, what is that?"
"It's a cellphone. Don't tell me you never saw this before..."
"Yeah. To be honest, there are a lot of things that are new to me here."
"Okay, I'll explain it later. But I think it will be best if we ask Histoire too."
"Histoire?"
"Yeah, she's the Oracle for Planeptune and she knows a lot of things. So it will be faster if we ask for her help, but I'll tell you a few common things here while we wait for Compa to finish cooking."
"Okay."
Over the next 20 minutes, IF began explaining the Gamindustri landmass, the Goddess and some of her adventures to Shade. Finally, Compa finished cooking and bought curry for the three of them. They eat peacefully while having a little chat.
"As usual, you always make the best food here Compa." Said IF
"Hehe, thank you Iffy. How about you, Shady?"
"This is delicious! I think I remember something from this food..."
"Really? Is your memory starting to coming back?"
"I'm not really sure... I just think I've eaten something like this before but I still can't remember it."
"So you lost your memory, Shady?"
IF answered the question, "Oh that's right, I forgot to tell you Compa. When I met him before, he didn't know anything about Gamindustri. I think he got an amnesia like Neptune before."
"Aww, that's too bad. But don't worry we'll help you to find your memory back, Shady!" Compa assured the boy. Shade smiled a bit.
"Thank you! I'm really grateful for your help. Oh yeah, I just noticed, why do you call me Shady?"
"That's a nickname for you, Shady."
"Okay, then that's cool."
"Then let's rest for now. Tomorrow, we go to the Basilicom and ask Histoire for her help."
"Okay!"
With that, the three of them started to rest for tomorrow.
-Meanwhile on Planeptune's Sharicite room-
A little fairy began to float towards the Sharicite that uncommonly shone brightly. Yes, this is Histoire, the Oracle of Planeptune.
"What happened? Why is the Share crystal glowing so suddenly? Neptune and Nepgear didn't do any work for a week. Is something going to happen?"
- ? -
A boy with brown hair is crying over a dead body lying near him. He was covered in blood... and he was trying to wake the dead body... even if he already knew it was useless...
"...w-why...? You did that... for me...? E-even though I was the one... supposed to die... not you… Sensei, please wake up! I-I beg you... Sensei... Wahhhh!"
…
…
…
-Compa's House-
"*gasp* W-what was that...?" Shade jolted from his sleep. He was sleeping on the couch in the living room wearing his yesterday attire but without his hoodie. "Was that... a dream? Or was that... a memory? Then again, was that person... me?"
