Gareki had been out of work for an entire week. He wondered what the boss would say about his work time. It would be annoying if he had to work extra hours. He sighed in annoyance just thinking about it.
remembering what happened last night between him and Airi. It was a serious talk they had about her kidnapping. What had happened after he had fell through the floor of the abandoned building and pointed the police gun at the kidnappers. Did he shoot them? No that seemed unlikely, The police would have atleast took him into the station after they took care of the kidnappers to ask him questions of who shot who.
...maybe one of the kidnappers snuck up behind him and had knocked him unconscious...No, That seemed even more unlikely. When he had pointed the gun at the guy holding airi he had counted three kidnappers there wasn't a fourth one in sight.
Gareki went threw all the parts of the scene in his head but still couldn't come up with the answers for two of his questions, which were. How did him and airi become unconscious. And what had happened after they were unconscious.
Gareki let the warm water of his shower rain down on his head as his hands were pressed against the shower wall. Gareki's eyes were looking at the white shower wall. not really being conscious of how long he had been staring at it without blinking. His eyebrows clenched together making his face look serious with thought. Gareki almost didn't notice the ringing of his phone.
Stareing at the shower wall for another second he finally blinked and moved his eyes towards the noise of his phone. Turning the water off and rapping a towel around his waist he walked out of his bathroom and towards his bed where his phone lay.
picking it up it was airi on the caller ID. he tapped the answer button.
hey. he answered
Hey. Airi replied nervously.
Whats up. Don't tell me your in trouble again? He said concerned
No It's not that at all. I Just uh...She trailed off.
tell me what wrong. Gareki said putting her call on speaker phone, while he dried his wet hair.
Well..since it's Monday, and we both have to work today..I was wondering if you could...Pick me up and drive me to work.
sure...Gareki trailed off. you sure theirs not a problem?he asked suspiciously.
Yeah theirs no problem I'm fine. I'll see you in a few minutes. then she hung up.
tapping the off button on his phone he thought... that was weird. just now thinking about it gareki noticed she hadn't drove to work in her own car in a while. Was it broken. he would have to ask when he got the chance. after drying his hair and putting on underwear. He wore a black jacket with a grey hood, a white tee-shirt under it, black pants, and black and grey converse, and a silver necklace with a dragon nail hanging from it.
Grabbing his car keys and heading out the door towards his car and going inside. He drove to Airi's house. after a moment of driving gareki spotted a man with golden blonde hair walking towards the library across from the bar that he worked at. Gareki felt a familiar feeling that he knew the guy from some where but he couldn't remember. The nurse had said that he would have amnesia for a bit but he felt like it wasn't amnesia it had to be something else that was keeping him from placing the mans identity.
shrugging it off for now gareki continued up the long street after a moment he stopped in front of air's house. luckily she was standing there, she was normally late for work. she sat down in passenger seat.
thanks for doing this. she said putting on her seat belt. as gareki began to drive the opposite way towards the bar.
yeah, sure. He said weakly.
she looked over at him concerned. whats up?
It's nothing.. I just saw this guy that I thought I knew. he said.
did you two use to date?
no way. the guy I dated back then had brown hair this guy that I'm talking about now has blonde hair. I saw him heading into the library across the street from the bar. gareki said but then stopped as they both saw the man with blonde hair. It felt like the two of them were going in slow motion as they passed him. he was talking into a phone and he had looked up as the two of them passed.
after they had passed him and were now parked into the bar's parking lot they both looked back. But the man with the golden hair was gone.
that...was weird. Airi said getting out of the car. was that the guy you were talking about?
...yeah. gareki said looking at the library. his eyes squinted a little out of suspicion... let's go, we'er going to be late for work. Then they both turned and went inside.
I've gotta find out who he is. Gareki thought.
Once they were both inside they both had gotten tackled in a hug.
Airi with dori and Karoku with gareki.
Finally you two are back and ok! yelled dori excitedly.
Yeah, were glad your both back. karoku said seductively in gareki's ear. one of his hands roaming gareki's back until he reached his butt and squeezed it a little.
Gareki gave out a surprised gasp. and pushed karoku away. What the hell was that. Airi and dori looked at them confused.
karoku smirked and said what do you mean? It was just a hug.
no, it was more then- gareki was interrupted by hiroshi stepping into the room from his office. Gareki I'm going to need to talk to you. he said.
Gareki moved around karoku and stepped into hiroshi's office.
Hiroshi sat down in his office chair. while gareki stood in front of his desk.
I hear that you have been in the hospital for a week. hiroshi did that happen
yes I was. Airi had gotten kidnapped when she called me. I had to go save her or at least try. She said that they were planning on killing her. When I got there she was being held by the neck with a knife. I couldn't really do any thing. But I had a gun and was going to shoot the guy that was holding her but when I was about to shoot. Something happened I can't really remember it though. when I woke up I was in the hospital and I had found out that airi had been to, but she woke up earlier then me. The nurse said I had a little bit of amnesia but my memories should come back soon. she had said it was caused by a type of syringe liquid injected into me from when I was in the building airi had got kidnapped in.
Airi has the same thing but it's different. Gareki said.
I see. so you've lost your memories, that's serious. do you know any one here?
um no...not yet. the only person I know is airi.
Hm. Well maybe you'll know the others once you've gone to work. since you've been out for a week your going to have to have extra work hours for this one week. do you still remember your work days and times.
Yeah I do. gareki said.
good then get started. hiroshi said. And I hope you'll get your memories back soon.
and with that gareki left his office. He sighed. Just great the thing that he didn't want the most was extra work hours.
So did he give you extra work hours? asked airi.
how'd you know. Gareki said putting his hands in his pockets.
Because he did the same to me. I have to work extra for next week. I'm going to be so tired. she said disappointing. Yeah me to, especially since I need to study for that test gareki said walking over to the closed sign and flipped it over to open.
well look on the bright side at least your both not dead. said dori, her and karoku were siting at the tables.
Gareki had just remembered he didn't know who these two people were. he told this to Airi. oh yeah I forgot about that she replied. Yeah guys gareki has a little bit of amnesia so he doesn't really know who you two are.
well that sucks anyway I'm dori she said waving her hand as a hi.
And I'm karoku. I'm sure we'll be good friends. he said giving gareki a knowing look.
whats up with this guy. gareki thought. well I'm glad you both cleared that up for me thanks. gareki replied. Just then a group of five teenagers walked in and asked for orders of drinks they wanted.
the rest of the work day was spent on rushing orders and serving tables of teenagers and adults. by the time gareki was done he had to clean the bar. even though airi could leave early since it wasn't her time for extra work hours she decided to stay and help gareki clean.
Did any memories of that guy come back yet? airi asked
no. gareki said. looking at his watch. But I'm going to find out more about him. I don't know why but I feel like he has something to do with our memories lost.
So..What are you going to do? she asked.
I'm going to go over there and see if theirs any thing I can find out. gareki said already out the door. wait for me. airi said running after him.
gareki didn't bother getting in his car but instead just walked across the street with airi following behind. so your just going to ask him what? About our memories being gone because you think it was him who took them? Airi asked. don't you think he would think were crazy. we have to think about this gareki-
I know. gareki said stopping once they were on the other side. I know...But he's the only clue. I don't know but my minds telling me that he might be involved. he said turning around and giving her a look that told her he was serious.
Airi returned the look. she gave a nod. lets go. they both began walking towards the door. It was dark inside the library as they went inside.
gareki brought out his phone and turned on his flash. the white light from it was bright. why is it so dark in here if it daylight outside. gareki muttered.
him and airi kept walking. until airi spotted a light in the back of the library they both headed over to it slowly. once they got there they noticed a medal door with a pass lock on it.
What the hell? said gareki. after he said that tiny red lights aimed on him and airi.
