=Japan (evening)=

Haruhiko arrived at Japan in the evening, having traveled 8 hours from America to Japan. He already asked someone to pick him up from the airport beforehand.

"Welcome back Haruhiko-sama" A man in a black suit bowed down.

"Take me to Niji recording studio quickly" Haruhiko ordered.

And with that they rushed towards the recording studio.

After 30 minutes of driving, Haruhiko finally arrived at the recording studio.

Haruhiko went to the front desk.

"Good evening sir what can I do for you?" The girl smiled cheerfully.

"May I ask if Takahashi Misaki in today?" He asked hurriedly.

The girl checked the schedule then said "I'm sorry sir but it seems that Takahashi-san is not in today".

"Oh is that so? Thanks" Haruhiko said rather disappointed.

Haruhiko went outside then his chauffeur who opened the car door for him. Before Haruhiko got inside the car his chauffer asked "So where will I take you next Haruhiko-sama?"

Haruhiko thought about it for a second before saying "Take me to Akihiko's penthouse." Haruhiko ordered.

They reached the penthouse within 10 minutes. Haruhiko got out of the car and proceeded to the elevator. When it reached the right floor he got out of it and went towards his brother's door. He rang the doorbell twice before the door swung open.

"Usa….oh it's you Haruhiko-san" Misaki looked up at the tall guy before him.

Haruhiko cupped Misaki's cheeks and said "Your eyes are red… have you been crying?"

"I…I'VE NOT!" Misaki shoved Haruhiko's hands as he looked away.

"Why are you here anyway?" Misaki said coldly.

"I have important news about Akihiko but I would rather talk about this matter inside."

Misaki nodded and moved to allow Haruhiko to enter inside the penthouse. He prepared some tea and placed it on the coffee table then sat down.

"And? What is this important news about Usagi-san?" Misaki was quite nervous about the news as Haruhiko took a sip from the tea cup and then started to talk.

"Akihiko had an accident." Haruhiko stared at Misaki's trembling body.

"H…how is he n…now?" Misaki clenched his shorts getting ready for the news Haruhiko was about to tell him.

Haruhiko noticed Misakis' eyes growing wide and on the verge of tears, he didn't want to bring this up but he had to even if it was somewhat of a lie.

"Misaki…"Haruhiko looked at Misaki's tear-filled eyes.

"Akihiko is dead now…"Haruhiko showed a pained expression (From telling Misaki a lie).

Misaki stared blankly and then began to break down into tears.

Haruhiko quickly approached Misaki and gently hugged him, saying "Misaki….It's alright…..I'm here for you…..I'll take over his place…..I'll…I'll protect you." Haruhiko hugged Misaki tightly.

Misaki clutched Haruhikos' coat. He was full of pain and sorrow. The man he loves died in an accident. The last thing they had talked about is where they would go when he came home and the most painful thing for Misaki was the last words he said to Usagi was "baka-Usagi" while Usagi's was "I love you and I really miss you". Thinking about the past made it hard for Misaki. He trembled as tears kept falling down his cheeks.

Misaki finally calm down after a few minutes of crying. Then darkness claimed Misaki. He hoped that he could see his dead lover once again, even if it's just for a little while.

Haruhiko looked at Misaki's fragile face. Guilt took over Haruhiko's heart as he looked at Misaki's pain filled face. Haruhiko gently lifted Misaki and brought him to his room. He kissed Misakis' forehead and softly whispered "I'm sorry Misaki…."

=AMERICA (morning)=

The morning light shone brightly in the lilac room. 'The weather is good today' Usami thought, smiling as he turned on the television in front of him. He saw a TV ad of a young man that flashed on the screen his name was Takahashi Misaki. He was promoting his single entitled "Pure Hearted Romance". After a few minutes the nurse came in and turned the TV off.

"Usami-sa…. Mr. Usami it's time for breakfast" Ayaka smiled energetically.

"Ayaka… are you by any chance Japanese?" Usami questioned Ayaka curiously.

"Hai! My father is American and my mother is Japanese. I moved to America at the age of 10." Ayaka smiled sweetly.

Usami blinked his eyes several times while looking at Ayaka.

"What's with that face...? Anyway, here's your breakfast Usami-san" Ayaka sulked as she placed the tray on the table in front of Usami.

"Ack….hospital food" Usami made a disgusted face while looking away.

"Hey! Don't be picky! You need to have nourishment! You need to heal those wounds!" Ayaka nagged blushing.

"Hahahaha….you are cute!" Usami laughed like a child.

Ayaka blushed furiously and looked at laughing man. 'So even he can have these kind of expressions' Ayaka smiled as she looked at Usami's face, amused.

Usami and Ayaka became closer and closer with each other. After 2 weeks in the hospital. He was almost fully recovered. Two days before he will be released…

Ayaka entered the room with the usual smile.

"Usami-san! It's time to remove your bandages." Ayaka smiled as she approached Usami. She grabbed Usami's arm gently and looked at Usami's face, but the man's face was staring at her sadly.

"Usam-san…? Why are you sad?" Ayaka frowned as she stares at the sad look of the man's face.

Usami hugged Ayaka and said "It's…It's because I'm going to leave the day after tomorrow…"He spoke gently.

"And? Don't you want that? You're going to find your precious memories" Ayaka pushed Usami a little and caressed Usami's cheek.

"I…I...I…..already love you" Usami confessed to Ayaka.

Ayaka blushed then smiled as she hugged Usami back. "When you go back to Japan…I'll come with you…I'll help you find your memories." Ayaka looked at Usami with pleading eyes.

"I'd love to bring you with me." Usami replied and kissed Ayaka's forehead.

A/N:

Ok…ok…so Misaki is a little out of character here…well it's because his boyfriend hasn't called him for almost a whole month so who wouldn't get pissed about that…and about Usagi well…he got an amnesia who could blame him?

Oh…And by the way the time line here is different but I think in chapter 5 or 6 it will be the same.

America here is ahead and Japan is a little late. :)

By the way thanks to my beta FreshPrinceLover for editing the story quickly :D
