Note: I apologize greatly for taking so long in my updates. Sigh. This fic was published so long ago but yet it's only up to chapter four. That's pretty pathetic. At least I manage to remember once in a while to update. Thank you all for your dedication and pleasant reviews. I do hope you enjoy this next installment of Forgotten Memories!

Chapter Four

Yumi felt so wretched after that horrible confrontation. A non-pleasant shiver ran down her spine. The way he stared at her. His gaze leering at her body traveling up her legs taking in the contours of her body.

She felt like retching. She made it into her room and collapsed on her bed, unaware that she had a visitor. She buried her head into her pillow, holding her towel shut.

Ahem. She heard a throat clearing, it was deep and masculine, definitely not Sissy's. He eyes snapped wide open and she uncertainly lifted her head from her pillow to see a very embarrassed-looking Odd.

She quickly grabbed the closest large article of clothing and tried desperately to cover herself up.

"W-What are you doing here?" She stuttered out, too embarrassed to look him in the eye.

He coughed nervously and brought up an arm to scratch the back of his head, fidgeting on his feet. "Well um, I came to see you and well Sissy told me I could wait for you till you came back." Yumi raised an eyebrow at the statement, meeting his eyes for the first time; he looked away quickly. "Well not in those exact words, I suppose, but I guess that's what she meant."

"Odd. 'Don't bother me' doesn't mean 'come in and make yourself at home'." Yumi rolled her eyes.

"Hey!" Odd protested, "I didn't say that! Well…not exactly." He finished weakly.

"Mhmm." Yumi replied. "Anyways, where is Sissy." She furrowed her brows as she scanned the room.

"Well she left a bit ago, said something about needing to let off a bit of steam." Odd gave her a toothy grin. Yumi sighed.

"I suppose she doesn't have to worry about curfew like a few others since her father is the dean of the schools." Odd shrugged his shoulders.

"Eh. As long as she's 'out of your hair' is my motto." He grinned. Yumi flashed back a small smile but soon disappeared as reality crashed down on her and she remembered the compromising situation they were in.

"Um…" Yumi began, looking down at her body. "Let me get changed and then we can catch up." She said, blushing lightly. Odd's cheeks colored as he nodded.

"Yeah, sure whatever." Yumi grabbed her clothes and made a mad dash to their small bathroom, which consisted of a toilet and small wall sink. She changed rapidly and looked in the mirror as she put up her hair and made a satisfactory noise.

She slipped back into her room, depositing her towel on the floor near her bed. She would pick up later, in fact her whole side of the room had to be cleaned later. She put it at the top of her mind. She found Odd laid back on her bed, flipping through one of Sissy's girly magazines.

He held it up sideways and whistled appreciatively as he admired the view. Yumi blushed and snatched the magazine away from him and threw it over to Sissy's bed.

Yumi pushed his feet on the ground, "Get your feet off the bed." And made to sit in that spot. She turned to him and sat Indian style.

"So what's up?" She asked nonchalantly.

Odd gave a nervous smile. "I just wanted to thank you for today. It meant a lot to me, to know someone cared. I mean I know I'm not usually that considerate when I date girls and dump 'em—" Yumi snorted.

"Yeah right you playboy." She teased. "I heard you went through your whole class grade." Odd wriggled his eyebrows mischievously. Yumi laughed.

"But, as I was saying," He said while giving Yumi a look, "I really liked her, more than your other average girl. I wasn't in it just for the fun, as so many other relationships and it hurt when she rejected me like that, after the while we'd been together that she could think of me of just another notch on her bed." Odd explained. Yumi raised an eyebrow.

"You slept with her?" Yumi questioned disbelievingly. Odd nodded uncertainly. "You little playboy!" Yumi joked, while grabbing a pillow and knocking him upside the head with it. Odd laughed and grabbed one of his own and retaliated.

"Oh I get it, you're still a virgin." Odd teased. Yumi's face burned as she paused in mid-swing. Odd took the opportunity to land a hit.

"Oomph! I'm going to get you for that!" Yumi yelled at him and attacked at full force, accidentally knocking him off the bed. At the last second he grabbed Yumi's arm and she was sent down careening with him to a loud thump.

She had landed on something soft yet firm. Her hands wandered and she felt a built chest. Her head lifted off of it and she looked down upon Odd who was unceremoniously sprawled beneath her.

Odd was staring right into her eyes, with some hidden emotion locked in them as well as…lust? No, that couldn't be right. Yumi's hair tie had snapped and her long, luxurious dark hair fell around Odd's face.

Odd took this moment to catch Yumi be complete unadulterated surprise. He leaned up and kissed her softly, but urgently on her lips. Yumi was caught by complete surprise, but caught herself relaxing into the strangely comforting lips and unconsciously responding.

Odd's arms had snaked around Yumi's waist and somehow ended up on top as his mouth overtook his and opened hers to him as his tongue explored the crevices of her sweet mouth. Yumi moaned into his mouth as her arms slipped onto his back.

The two were separated when a shocked cry halted their actions. They looked up to find Sissi watching them with horror and curiosity etched onto her face. Odd detangled their limbs and stood, while helping Yumi up chivalrously.

"What Sissi? Never seen anyone kiss before?" Odd taunted, loving it when he got on her nerves.

"You-you shut up!" She screamed at him. Odd rolled his eyes.

"Oh I'm so hurt Sissi! You can't even remember my name! After all we've been through!" Odd mock-cried. Sissi folded her arms and glared at him. Yumi took her chance.

"Well, it is getting late Odd. You should probably get going. I'll see you tomorrow and we'll talk then, okay?" She asked politely, wanting to get away and be by herself to think this situation over. Odd nodded.

"Okay. See you tomorrow." He leaned toward her and placed a small peck on her cheek. He turned to Sissi. "Bye Sissi! Or should I say Elizabeth!" Odd called out, laughing. Sissi turned bright red and slammed the door shut. She turned to Yumi.

"So what was all that about?" She asked haughtily, "I though you only had eyes for Ulrich." She said, stretching out his name. Yumi threw her a glare.

"I don't want to talk about it. I'm going to bed." Yumi said as she turned in for the night. But her wide-awake mind kept replaying today's earlier events and she was left sleepless.
