Chapter 3: Unfinished Business
'Knock-Knock'
Lucia walked slowly towards the door.
"Who is it?" Lucia asked as she gave out a huge sigh.
"It's Hanon and Rina. We told you we would help you pack. Are you alright?" asked Hanon.
"I'm fine I just had a long night. Can you guys promise me something?"
"Yea sure…what is it?" asked Rina.
"Well can you leave destroying the pictures and memory's up to me? I would like to say good-bye before I do it and I would rather I do it then you. I'm sorry it's just it's something I need to do for myself." Lucia spoke as if the she was dying in side. She started to cry, more and more tears streamed down her face.
"Ok well we will get your things you just take care of it. Here, we both got you something." said Hanon.
"What is it?" Lucia somehow forced a smile.
"Look for yourself." Rina laughed while she spoke.
"Thank you." Lucia's tears were now gone.
"The cell phone is so we can contact you and the ring is a friendship ring. See now all three of us have one." Hanon smirked when she said this.
"Thank you, well I guess I have some unfinished business to attend to. Good-bye for now"
Lucia walked out the door slowly. When she was out of site she ran and never looked back. She decided to start with her friends. And with that Lucia took of to a party where she knew she could find most of her friends.
Meanwhile somewhere else:
"Scarlett, Aya, Sakura did you find her?" asked Ryuu.
"Ah well about that, you see we found her but……." Aya tried to finish her sentence but couldn't.
"Why didn't you take her when you had the chance? You guys are useless." Ryuu was steaming mad now.
"Can't you see? We need her in order to conquer the sea." said Ryuu.
"Well we do know that those loser mermaids are bringing her back home. So why don't we come up with a plan and simply meet them there." said Sakura with a villainous laugh.
"I suppose we could but on one condition." Ryuu spoke with a troubling look on his lightly tanned face.
"What's that?" asked Aya, who seemed more interested now.
"You need to beat them to Seira. They will go to help free her. Once they free Seira they will need to find Lucia's pink pearl. You need to find her pearl before they do. Make sure to taint it. Otherwise capture her and then taint her pearl. Now go!" Ryuu started grinning then laughed.

Lucia walked up to each and every friend of hers at the party. She said good-bye to all of them then she lifted up her necklace and a bright pink light flashed before them.
"I'm sorry. It's for the best. Good-bye everyone…." Once again tears flowed down Lucia's face.
"Hey girl in the black, what are you doing at my party?" asked one of Lucia's friends.
"You don't know who I am do you? Of course you don't. Never mind I was just leaving." Lucia made her way through the room to the door. Then she ran.
'Now it's time to go say good-bye to my family' Lucia thought to herself.
When Lucia arrived at home she grabbed most of their home videos that contained her in them. Lucia burned as many as she could find.
'I know there are more videos but I just want them to have a couple that include me. Now it's time for the pictures.'
Lucia threw most of her pictures into the fire. But she decided to leave a few including the ones in the family album.
'Now its time to say good-bye'
"Lucia what do you think your doing?" asked her father as he burned with rage.
"I'm sorry but it's time for me to say good-bye. You will never see me again just promise me that you will somehow remember me." Lucia spoke with enough courage to stop her from crying. Lucia held up her necklace and it was done. Her father no longer knew who she was.
Lucia went into the family room and said her final words to her family.
"Good-bye everyone, I love you and I will never forget you ever." Lucia couldn't hold back her tears anymore. It was too hard and she hadn't even finished erasing her from everyone's memories. Lucia held up her necklace and then ran. Not once did she look back. She was no longer Lucia Hidaeki she was Lucia Nanami now. Lucia Nanami was her true name and now she could use it.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Somehow Lucia had made her way to her mother's house in less than an hour, even though it was miles away.
"Lucia what are you doing here?" asked her mother.
"I'm sorry mom. I love you…..good-bye." By now Lucia was tired of repeating the same words again and again.
"What are you talking about dear?" asked her mother in a confused tone.
Lucia lifted up her necklace. It was done. Now there were only 2 people left to erase her from their memories. Or so she thought.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lucia appeared back at her dad's place. She met up with Amy and tears fell down her face as she faced her best friend.
"Amy promise me that you will always be my best friend forever."
"I promise Lucia. But what's going on?" Amy was confused and couldn't read Lucia's expression.
"I'm sorry but it's time to say good-bye. Here I want you to have this." Lucia handed Amy a picture of them with a letter and a friendship ring.
"Now it's time. Have a nice life!" Lucia once again lifted up her necklace. Amy no longer knew who she was. Lucia had one more person to go to. She ran off to the beach where she knew she could find him.
FLASH BACK
'There were two kids playing in a sand box'
"Hey let's make a promise Dai-Chan." said Lucia as a 5 year old kid.
"Ok! I'll go first then you." aid Daisuke as a 5 year old as well.
"I promise to always be your best friend, never ever forget you and if you are ever in trouble I will come and save you! I'll be your hero!" said Daisuke as he chuckled a little.
"Ok! I promise to always love you and only you! And will always be your best friend too!" Lucia blushed as she spoke her words.
"Hey Dai-Chan, do you love me and only me?" asked a curious little 5 year old Lucia.
"Of course I do! One day I will prove that you are my one and only. So don't ever run off with another guy because I will be here for you always."
"Ok will you be there when I am in trouble even if I am across the world?" asked little Lucia.
"Yes I will."
"Ohh Dai-Chan. I love you"
"I love you to Lucia!"
END FLASH BACK
Lucia walked up to Daisuke.
"Dai-Chan"
"Lucia, what are you doing here?" asked Daisuke.
"Do you remember the promise we made 9 years ago?"
"Of course I do." Daisuke couldn't read Lucia's expression or the emotion she was giving off.
"Well make sure you always remember it. And never ever forget me ok?" Lucia held back her tears even though she desperately wanted to just cry in his arms.
"What's going on Lucia?" Daisuke seemed confused.
"Good-bye……..Dai-Chan"
Lucia held up her necklace and then she couldn't hold back anymore. Her tears just kept flowing down her face while she ran. What she didn't know was that Daisuke did not get his memories erased.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
All Lucia could think about was who she truly loved. Was it Daisuke or was it Kaito? She didn't know anymore. She was so confused about everything.
'Ring-Ring'
"Hello?" said Lucia.
"Lucia its Rina, have you done it?" Rina asked while Hanon fidgeted.
Hanon grabbed the phone before Lucia could reply.
"Are you ok?" asked Hanon.
"I could be better but it's alright. It's done I no longer have any unfinished business." replied Lucia.
"Then tomorrow we make for Japan." said Rina.
"Alright I'll see you tomorrow morning then." Lucia gave out a big sigh.
"Till then, and feel better. Bye." said Hanon with a worried look on her face.
"Do you think she will be alright?" asked Hanon.
"Yes she's just confused right now. Things will clear up. I'm guessing she's confused about Kaito and Daisuke. But when she see Kaito again she will realize that he is the one. They are both the destined ones." Rina spoke with a flare in her tone of voice.
"Yea but till they are needed we need to keep Lucia in the light. She must not see the darkness. After we free Seira we need to get her pearl immediately before they do." Hanon spoke with a worried yet serious tone.
