A dazzling sun dominated the morning sky, drying all evidence of the rain of yesterday.

Usui was lying on the couch of his apartment, unable to erase the thought of the blond girl he saw, seeming to be as lost and confused as him.

Even if he repeatedly told himself that she was a mere copy of the girl he used to know, there was still a part of him who wanted to believe that she was the raven-hair girl.

I'm really crazy…

That led him to a single solution: He had to see her, just to make sure.

But the city is big, making it practically impossible to find a person in it. Unless they share somewhere to go….

The street corner…

He grabbed his coat and jumped in the first cab he saw. If there were a place where he had a chance to see her again, it would surely be there.

But it was too good to be true: she wasn't there.

Breathless from his run, he closed his eyes to find a more normal breath rhythm but the touch of a small hand on his shoulder made him re-open his eyes.

"I haven't had the chance to thank you, yesterday" The blond hair girl told him, a genuine smile on her face.

He tried to speak, but the words were stuck in his throat, shocked by how much she looks like the girl who got killed where he was standing.

But her eyes were the most disturbing evidence of a distant memory: two hazelnut orbs, with a golden halo surrounding the pupil.

"So thank you" and she turned around, a little irritated by his lack of response and by the way he was looking at her.

But she didn't even had time to walk away, that two arms stopped her, surrounding her waist.

I've let you go once, I won't do it twice…

"Ayuzawa…" He whispered to her ear.

The girl turned around, and pushed him softly, amazed by how a stranger can mistaken the identity of a person. She lifted her right hand, like she wanted to give him a handshake.

"I'm sorry, I think you got the wrong girl, my name is Naoki"

He loosened his hold, ashamed by what he just did.

"Oh, I'm sorry… well then have a good day" He said while hiding his deception behind his fake smile.

Why did I do that, there's no way it could be her.

"Wait…" Naoki said while grabbing his wrist "There must be a way to thank you for what you did yesterday"

And there it goes again, another one who fell under his spell, Usui thought. But when he looked at her, he saw it wasn't a way to flirt with him, noticing the red creeping up her cheeks.

"Where are you going?" He replied, mesmerized by her shyness, which made him think of someone else.

"Mmm, I'm going home" She said, hesitantly, unable to understand what was the point of his question.

"Well then, let me accompany you, it would be your way to thank me"

It surprised her, but she accepted… since he was the one who proposed it.

A few words were exchanged on the way back home but, for some reasons, the atmosphere wasn't really conductive to discussion. Naoki, however, asked him something that was bugging her.

"Why did you hug me, earlier? I mean…it's not like you know me"

Usui continued to walk, nonchalantly with his hands in his pockets.

"I thought you were someone else, she looked exactly like you, except for the hair" he said while glancing at her, more stupefied every minute by all the resemblances.

"You said she looked… why are you talking in the past?" She asked, not thinking twice about it.

Usui stopped for a second and took a deep breath.

"She died, 4 years ago" He simply stated after what he continued to walk.

It was in those moments that you want to be hidden six feet under ground.

Embarrassed, she gave him a soft tap on his shoulder in order to comfort him. In this kind of situation, either you choose to give your pity or you choose to cheer the person up by something else.

"Well, maybe I look exactly like her, I'm not a real blonde if you know what I mean" She simply said, with a teasing tone, wanting to cheer him up, but it didn't had the effect she hoped.

Usui stopped for a second time, dead in his tracks, looking at the sidewalk.

"Then what is your natural color?" He asked, like the world depended on it.

She found it strange that a total stranger would be interested in the color of her hair.

"I-I don't know, like my dad's hair I guess" She replied, suddenly feeling uneasy by his gaze on her.

"What do you mean you don't know" He asked, becoming impatient.

"I mean I don't know because my dad had always dyed my hair, making me unable to see what my true color is, why is it so important to you?" She said, walking a little bit faster, knowing that she was almost at her home, which was a lot more secure than to stay with this weirdo.

"Don't change the subject, you must have a little idea of what was your hair color" He said, running beside her. He knew that he must be sounding weird, but it was the least on his mind right now.

"I-I have to go" She said, closing her house's fence.

Usui looked up at her house but soon became deceived.

C'mon Usui, you couldn't sincerely hope that it was Misaki's house. It's normal that it is a different house, since it's a different girl.

But something made him doubt.

While she was climbing the stairs, probably running away from Usui, her father was watching her, waiting on the porch.

"Naoki, how many times do I have to tell you: don't quit without telling me where you go and why you have to go" He said with an authoritarian tone, watching his 20 years old daughter entering his house.

She nodded and her father closed the door behind him but not without giving a threatening look at the guy in front of the house.

He thought he did well, judging by the astonished look Usui had on his face.

But the reason why Usui was standing alone on the quiet street, unable to take his eyes off the blue door, wasn't because of the severe look of the father.

Black as a raven, reflecting purple shades under the rays of the sun.

That's how he had always described Misaki's hair, thinking that she was the only one with this color.

But she was clearly not, judging by the man who just closed the blue door.
