Chapter 4
And no, I don't own anything.
Akira and Hitomi were looking out the airplane window when Saki woke up.
"Did we wake you?" Akira looked at Saki and smiled.
"Good morning sleeping beauty!" Hitomi added with a little wave.
"Look. Remember the missile attack we saw on TV at the airport? Must be where it happened." He pointed at the huge crater he and Hitomi had previously been staring at.
"Must be..." Saki said glumly.
"There's a bunch of spots just like it that aren't on fire. Are they from missile attacks too?" Hitomi pointed to the different spots.
"Oh yeah...they sure are..." Saki said.
"Really?" Akira looked at her.
"See those two craters over there? Those are what's left over from the careless Monday attacks." Hitomi and Akira looked at the huge holes.
"Careless Monday?" Akira and Hitomi asked at the same time. Saki just nodded.
"Come to think of it, today's Monday..." Saki said.
'Man, she's really starting to bum me out...' Hitomi frowned.
Once in the airport, Saki went to go check her phone, while Akira and Hitomi watched the TV. It started talking about how a plane got shot down when Saki came over. Akira told her the news, and she looked totally shocked.
"No way! One of those missiles actually killed people?!" She said with a gasp.
"Yeah. Missiles tend to hurt people Saki..." Hitomi looked at Saki, who pouted at her.
"But last time nobody died!" Saki defended her statement. "That explains why the airport is so crazy today..." Saki looked around at the crowds of people.
"Wait, say that again. You said no one died last time?" Akira stared at her.
"Yeah, during the careless Monday attacks there wasn't a single casualty." Saki said looking at them like they were idiots.
"Why not?" They both questioned.
"What do you mean why not?" Saki looked at them both questioningly. Then her phone started ringing so she turned away to answer it. They both just watched the TV until she turned back around.
"Boyfriend?" Hitomi poked at her ribs jokingly. Saki shook her head defensively, and then Akiras phone started to ring. As he answered it, Saki started to call someone. Hitomi just stood there awkwardly.
During Hitomis Awkward Standing...
" If you know why I erased my memory, could you do me the favor of filling me in?" Akira could hear Juiz on the other line.
"I don't know why. I merely acquired the means for you to do so. If you have any further questions or requests, don't hesitate to contact me anytime. Your remaining balance is 8,262,307,719 yen." Akiras eyes widened.
"8.2 billion?" He asked.
"It is your duty to spend it all during the course of your mission." Juiz said, completely unfazed.
"Hold on, I HAVE to spend it?"
"...that's correct. I am your concierge, and I will strive to serve you to the best of my ability."
"Or in other words, I can request anything and you'll make it happen, no questions asked?"
"Yes, that is correct."
"Okay then, I'm stuck here in the airport and me, Hitomi, and Saki wanna get out of here ASAP. What can you do for us?" He looked over at the pair who seemed to be on there phones.
"I see miss Hitomi has found her way to you successfully, as you requested."
"Huh?" Akira questioned.
"Order accepted. Nobles Oblige. I pray for your continuing service as a savior." Juiz hung up.
Back To Hitomi...
'Aww man! It looks like I have no friends...' Hitomi pouted, looking at both of her busy companions, but then got an idea. She put her phone to her ear and pretended to talk about something important.
'Hitomi: You're a genius!' She smirked. Soon Saki and Akira were done and came back over to her. She continued her little act, but in the middle of it, her phone actually started to ring.
"...shit." She said answering the call as Akira and Saki laughed, causing Hitomi to blush out of embarrassment.
"Hey, Hitomi?" The person was under the contact Aiko.
"Uh, yeah?" She answered awkwardly.
"It's great to hear from you, what's up?"
"Um...do I know you?" Hitomi asked.
"..."
"Uh, hel-"
"HOW COULD YOU FORGET YOUR BEST FRIEND?!" The voice blasted from the other end, causing Hitomi to have to hold the phone away from her ear.
"Hey, it's not my fault I have amnesia!" She yelled back.
"OMG, you have amnesia?! I'll be right over!" The person hung up.
"Wait!" Hitomi said, but it was too late.
"Boyfriend?" Saki teased back. Hitomi looked at Saki like she was crazy, before laughing like a maniac.
"HAHAHAHA! BOYFRIEND, THAT'S A GOOD ONE!" Hitomi laughed so hard tears started coming out. Saki and Akira sweat dropped.
"Oh, you weren't kidding?" Hitomi noticed their faces. By that time, a mans voice was heard, telling people to move, and sure enough a little vehicle parked in front of them.
"Oh, SWEET!" Hitomi cheered as she hopped on the back.
'This is friggin AWESOME!' She smirked as the other two got on.
LATER
The three managed to make it out of the airport. And buy a thing of gum.
"So what now guys?" Hitomi looked at the two, thoroughly enjoying their little adventure.
"Takizawa, do you have anything planned this afternoon?" Saki smiled at him.
"No." Akira shook his head.
"Well I'm supposed to meet with someone today, but it's not gonna happen. And Hitomi doesn't have anything to do either, right?" Hitomi shook her head. "We could get a cup of tea... I mean if you're up for it." Saki smiled at him.
"Actually, since I have amnesia, so it might be best if I find some answers about myself first. I think I'll start by going to the address on my passport. So, I guess this is goodbye then... Bye!" He waved before running off.
Saki let out a moan of disappointment as he left. Hitomi frowned too, realizing she may never know how they were connected.
'This sucks... He was actually pretty cool too...' She thought, following Saki into the girls bathroom. Saki looked at herself in the mirror as Hitomi sat on the sink. After a few moments of awkward silence, Hitomi spoke up.
"Well this sucks." Hitomi grumbled.
"Yeah. He seemed to really like you, Hitomi." She smiled at her new fast friend.
"Nah. He probably thought I was a weirdo. And I am." Saki giggled.
"I didn't think you were a weirdo." A voice suddenly came from around the corner, causing Hitomi to fall off her the sink.
"OH SHIT!" She yelled, falling on her butt. A few other curses slipped from her mouth as she rubbed the now bruised area. Akira laughed a little and waved.
'If he wasn't so cute, I'd kick his ass right now!' Hitomi frowned.
"You can't come in here!" Saki said, shooing him out.
"Sorry I made you fall. I just...need some directions is all." He scratched the back of his head and smiled.
LATER
Akira was dramatically looking out the window when Saki found where he lived.
"It's right where a missile hit during careless Monday." She showed him her phone. "I'm pretty sure that whole area is destroyed."
"Man, sorry about that." Hitomi patted Akiras shoulder. "So what's up with these missile craters anyway?" Hitomi looked at Saki for an explanation.
"Does anyone know why we were attacked in the first place?" Takizawa chimed in, causing a few people to turn their heads.
Saki went on to explain Careless Monday. The author of this fanfiction doesn't feel like typing down that whole thing. :/
ANYWAY, They walked their way over to a port of some sort, where Akira and Hitomi planned to leave together, so they could figure out who they were and how they knew each other. Saki will have to go, cause guess what? This is a romance between Akira and MY OC!
" Once the boat gets here, you can leave Saki. Me and Hitomi will be fine." He came over with three things of coffee. "Here's your coffee, and your change." He said, holding out the left over money, but she told him to keep it.
"Hey Saki, why don't you give me your phone number so we can stay in touch!" Hitomi smiled at Saki, trying to lighten her mood. Saki smiled.
"Yeah sure." She entered her number in her contacts. " I hope your house is still intact." She looked at Akira, who was now sitting on the bench.
"Yeah, me too. And if its not, I'm sure I'll figure something out." He fiddled with the money in his hand as the two girls sat down next to him.
"Since we don't remember anything, how about you tell us something about yourself." Hitomi said.
"About...myself?" Saki asked, obviously not sure what to say.
"May as well talk about something until the boat gets here, right?" Akira joined in. Saki was quiet for a while, before Akira hurried her up by snapping his fingers.
Saki told them about her family and how she wanted a job. This triggered a memory for Akira, and he told them about the last time he saw his mother.
By this time, the boat was there, so he and Hitomi stepped on.
"So long." Akira looked at Saki.
"BYE BYEEEE!" Hitomi jumped and waved like it was the last time she'd ever see her. It was a very dramatic moment, with the wind blowing and piano music playing. Once Saki was out of sight, the two moved to a different spot on the boat. That's when Hitomis phone rang.
"Uh, hello?"
"WHERE THE HELL ARE YOU?!"
"...is this Aiko, the girl who called before?"
"Yes! Now where are you?!"
"...I'm on a boat."
"Huh? What are you doing on a boat?"
"...adventure?"
"YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE AT YOUR HOUSE! You know what it's to late for this. I'll talk to you later. LOVE YA!" She hung up. Hitomi sweat dropped, but then laughed a little.
'Well, at least I have ONE friend.' Hitomi turned around to find Akira smiling at her.
"Friend of yours?" Hitomi shrugged.
"I guess. Anyway, I still haven't completely gone through my phone." She pressed a few buttons randomly.
"Have you checked the camera for any photos from before?"
"..."
'...crap, I totally forgot to check for photos...' She found the camera button and started looking through. Akira walked up from behind her and looked too, as the many photos of her showed. There was one with her singing or something, one with her in a Santa themed outfit at Christmas with a girl she was presuming was Aiko, and a few more completely useless photos.
"Remember any of this?" Akira asked as she continually flipped through photos.
"Nope. Not a single one helps." Hitomi sighed. She found a picture of her at the premier of Titanic, which caught Akiras attention.
"Titanic, huh? It's a good movie." He smiled at her.
"Yeah, you watched it?" Hitomi smiled back, looking up from her phone.
"Yeah, I'm a bit if a film junkie." He smirked.
"Cool. I don't know if I'd call myself a junkie, but I've seen plenty of movies." Hitomi handed over her phone so he could see it better. "I liked Titanic a lot, which is kinda weird since I'm usually not into those kinds of movies, i think."
"It's kinda crazy how my mind is so vivid when it comes to movies."
"Yeah, that is crazy. Hey, what's your favorite movie?" Hitomi smiled at him.
"Uh... It's weird, I remember dozens of 'em, except for my favorite." He smiled slightly.
"Yeah, that is weird. I don't think I could pick a favorite movie." Hitomi looked down at the water. She could see the city lights far away, reflecting on the water. The lights were so far away, they reminded her of fireflies. She smiled all dramatically at them.
"Hey what's this?" Akira found something interesting, and faced the phone screen towards her.
"I think that's the freedom tower..." Hitomi squinted. "It's that one building thats gonna be built on ground zero."
"As in nine eleven?" Hitomi nodded. "I don't think this ones been in any movies..."
"Yeah. It's supposed to look pretty cool once it's done." She smiled at the photo, imagining it with a bunch of cool stuff around it, like dragons and space ships. "Of course, it's gonna look different then it did before. So they never forget..." Hitomi looked at the flaming craters just in view.
"Hey, c'mere." Akira suddenly said, pulling her in for a side-hug selfie. Hitomi Smiled for the picture and gave a little peace sign.
"Look, ground zero." He showed her the picture.
"Heh, yeah." She smiled up at him. "Hey, send me that picture too."
"Okay... But I don't know how to! Show me." He gave her his phone and pouted, causing Hitomi to giggle.
'Dang, he's cute.' Hitomi blushed as she took his phone and showed him how to send things. She also wrote down all of their (Her, Saki, and Akira) phone numbers. That's when her phone rang yet again.
"If this is Aiko AGAIN, I swear I'm gonna-"
"Hello Miss Wakahisa. I am Juiz."
Ooh! Betcha didn't see that coming. Well, this covers the first two episodes. Since the last one was so short, I made this one super long. I should be back in five days or so. Hopefully ill have some more reviews by then. Please review, so I feel like someone's reading. :D
