Day 1:

"Okay okay, don't rush me my phones are coming off!" Neku complained as he was pulled toward Scramble Crossing.

"If you don't go faster, we're going to be like, two minutes late! Eri's going to think that we didn't show up and leave! Besides, those headphones are glued to your head! Wait…didn't you say you weren't ever going to wear them again?" She exclaimed.

Neku was so tired it felt like his legs would just melt and he'd fall to the floor. He made a mental note to himself to work out. "Yah so what? I can wear them while I'm on vacation. 'Now that I'm back in the real world, its hard to…make friends. People aren't attracted to you because their lives depends on it. So I haven't had much to do.' Hey, ow!" He cried as she pulled on his neck at his white necklace. "Don't pull that! It's special to me! Your going to break it! Stop!" He felt as if his soul was being ripped in half.

They stopped. "Why Neku? Is it like a gift from your parents or something?" Shiki asked.

"Because…because…I…I can't remember…" He sighed.

"You lost your memory again? But…I thought you got all of it back!" She yelled with righteous anger.

"Maybe there's a trick to the Game or something, maybe you don't get all of it back, or maybe you have to do something to get it. Or maybe the side effect of losing your memory once is amnesia." He pointed out.

"Wow Neku, to think you used to keep all those thoughts under your phones. Oh no! We're going to be SUPER late! No thanks to you!" She tugged at his shirt.

So they ran again, and while they ran, Neku asked Shiki If she had any holes in her memory. "Uh…no! Of course not! 'But Eri always talks about that guy…' " She said.

"Are you sure? You're acting pretty suspicious…'What is she hiding this time? And does she know how bad of a liar she is?' " He figured he'd eventually find the answer.

"Hey look there's Eri! Hi Eri!" She pointed to the right.

"Hi Shiki! Hey, that's the guy I was talking about!" She said as she ran over to them. "What?! You mean the guy you want to date?" Shiki exclaimed, waving her hands back and forth really fast.

"No, I'll tell you later okay?" Eri said.

"Alright, you two haven't been formally introduced yet! Eri this is Neku, Neku, Eri! Eri, this is the guy I played the game with!" She explained.

"Oh hey, Shiki's told me all about you." Neku greeted. "Likewise. Um Shiki...you can't believe the game was real. You have to forget about it." said Eri. Neku could tell she had said that more than once.

"……it did really happen…" Shiki mumbled, a little bit of hurt in her voice, that Neku heard.

"It was real, I was there, I lived through it…'This bastard is Shiki's BFF? Well I guess it can't be helped, its almost impossible to believe the Reapers Game could exist...except for the fact that Shiki has plenty of pins to prove it. I can't believe Shiki trusted Eri with that information!' " Neku was really pissed.

"Well…I can't argue with both of you." Eri sighed.

"Whatever. Lets just get to the sale before they run out those new T-shirts!" Shiki exclaimed, grabbed her hand, and ran off.

"Wait…Shiki!" Neku called…alone in the crowd (that's almost an oxymoron!). 'Oh well I think I'll call her cell in an hour when they've finished maxing out their credit cards' He thought as he sat down on a bench.

REVIEW! I don't get any reviews…
