Chapter II"Covered Past"

"Wow, you must have been really tired, since you slept until the morning." His voice echoed through the sphere as Renai fluttered her eyes and rose a little from the bed. Even though it was early in the morning, already they were bathing in warm golden sunlight. She could feel a slight, warm breeze caress her cheek and softly move her ginger curls.

"M-morning?" She stuttered, "what do you m-…" Suddenly she was completely awake, she jumped out of the bed. "Oh my gosh, it's MORNING?!"

But that wasn't really smart of her; her leg was still injured… It was like someone stabbed a sharp blade through her lower leg… She lost her balance and would have hit the ground if the purple-haired stranger did not catch her. With one arm against her back and one arm under her knees he caught her nicely and lifted her up like she was as light as a feather.

"What have I got to do with you, ey?" He grimaced at her, which made her look the other way and blush.

'How come he can act so familiar around me,' she wondered, 'it's like he knows me.'

Suddenly his face was really close to hers, she tried to get away from his grip, but it only make him hold her tighter.

"Wh-what's wrong?" She managed to ask him, she felt a bit uncomfortable when he was staring into her eyes so intensely.

"What's wrong, Renai? You don't like it when I come so close to you?" His voice was soft and tempting, his face less than an inch away from hers…

"Why…?" She started the question, but she couldn't finish it, he harshly pressed his lips upon hers and silenced her…

All the thoughts seemed to vanish from her mind… Her heart was beating faster and faster, she could hear it echo between her ears. If it would beat any louder, he would hear it as well.

But the kiss… oh that sweet… kiss…

First she was shocked, surprised… overwhelmed… then… then he slowly parted her lips with his tongue and entered her soft, warm mouth. She melted, in his strong arms.

It did not last long, as abrupt as he started the kiss, so sudden it ended.

"Come," he said firmly, "let me take you back to Capsule Corps, Mr. and Mrs. Briefs must be worried about you." Without waiting for a reply he carried her outside the sphere and flew with her into the air, back to where she lived.

"Hey!" She exclaimed, "wait a minute!" She struggled, trying to get free… then she realised that she was about a mile above the ground… and she gave up.

"You really don't understand, do you?" He suddenly asked her, "you really don't remember anything at all?" He did not look at her once, he looked forward…

"Understand what?" She asked in return.

"What do you think?"

"What I think? I think I have no idea what the hell you are talking about… Heck, I don't even know who you are! You appear in the forest, you drag me in a strange sphere, after it injured me… Then you suddenly kiss me…" She paused a moment after saying that… "Then you drag me into the air and just plan on dumping me back home. You even know where I live and with who! Who are you?"

He grinned, "now we're talking." He stopped and they were hanging in the air now. "All this time and you never even bothered to ask me what my name was," he winked at her.

"Yeah but… oh…" She was silent for a moment than she actually felt a bit ashamed.

"I-I guess I didn't, no… I'm sorry that's rude of me."

"Yet you are not a rude girl… So the only reason I can think of, for you to not ask me my name… Is that you already know it!"

She looked at him with big eyes, 'that's it…' she thought, 'this guy is a complete nutter.'

She placed her hands on her cheeks, 'oh my, what have I gotten into?' "I'm being kidnapped by a handsome, insane… purple-haired… psycho who thinks he knows me! Oh and he know stuff about me… is he also a stalker?"

Without realizing it she said her last sentences out loud. The man burst into laughing and started moving forward again. "You sure are a funny girl, so energetic. I guess you haven't changed in that way…"

"Did I?" She looked at him with big eyes, he nodded… "Oh my…"

"Don't fret, Renai, I can take a joke. I guess I have been pulling your leg long enough now. The left one that is…" He laughed at his joke as they landed in front of the gigantic Capsule Corps building.

"Wow,' he exclaimed, "this place hasn't changed a bit!"

"What do you mean," she looked at him sternly, "pulling my leg? Will you please tell me what is going on now?"

He was about to speak up when a familiar voice sounded behind them. Renai quickly turned around, only to be greeted by a very happy Mrs. Briefs.

"Oh my dearie, finally! There you are, I'm glad you are okay!" Then she noticed the tall man that stood next to her and she covered her mouth with her hands. "Oh my, what a handsome young fellow! Gee… I better put on some…tea." She turned around and wiggled back inside the house that was next to the building.

Renai watched her leave, her thoughts were racing, she desperately tried to place the pieces of this very difficult and confusing puzzle together. But the puzzle was incomplete, there were many pieces missing! She needed answers, and quickly before her mind would burst. She turned around again, "so will you finally tell me your na…name?" She looked around but there was no sign of the strange man…

"You bastard!" She shouted, "damn you…" He just left… without saying anything. With a face red from anger she marched after Mrs. Briefs, back inside her house.

A few feet away, just out of sight, the young man was hiding. On his face a smirk appeared, it was fun seeing her struggle like this, it was so fun joking around with her. Still, in some way it hurt him that she really did not seem to remember him at all.

It was time that he got down to business; he did not come here to joke around.

He would make preparations, and then he would face her, dead serious did time. If she was too afraid to dig up her memories, is she was too scared to face the truth herself, then he had to help her. There was no way he would let her slip through his fingers again.

It was time that he lifted the dusty blanket of forgetfulness, and to reveal the truthful past to Renai Asuki.
