Sorry for the long wait, but it's finally up! Between school and home little dramas that I somehow create with my mental-self, I was BOOKED, BUT I'm back and here is the next chapter of Amnesia! Enjoy!


"Who are you?" she said to me. She couldn't be serious could she? She had to be joking. It was probably a prank to get back at me. I took her hand and put it to my chest.

"Allison, cut the act. It's me, Renji. Ya know, your boyfriend and prom date." I said. Allison still gave me a terrified look and jerked her hand away from me.

"Boyfriend? Prom date? I don't know who you are! Get away from me!" she screamed before slapping me straight to my cheek. I was shocked to say the least as I rubbed the side of my face. What was wrong with her? It's like she doesn't even know who I am anymore. She scrunched her knees up to her chest and started to shiver. I saw tears come to her eyes as she looked at me in a state of shock.

"Allison, I..." I muttered. I was speechless. Does she really not remember me?

"Who are you people and why am I here?" she said, panicked. I looked to Ichigo and Rukia, who were in disbelief as well. I looked to Allison again. She couldn't be faking. Not in front of Ichigo and Rukia. Especially after an accident this bad.

"Allison," I said softly, standing up. "This is Ichigo and Rukia. You know, your best friends." I said. She looked at me with an innocent puzzled expression.

"I-Ichigo?" she repeated. "Rukia?" I could tell she was thinking hard. I don't think that was the smartest decision with her concussion. "I... I don't know you..." she finally muttered. I sighed. This can't be happening. This can't. The door opened and the doctor walked in. He walked over to us and looked at Allison.

"You were in a car accident. Don't you remember?" I asked her. She only gave me a petrified look and shook her head.

"I see she's awake." he said. He took a hold of her head and started to turn it, making Allison whimper and making my anger boil. I wish he wouldn't touch her so roughly! Doctor or not, who the hell does he think he is?!

"Hey, doc, why doesn't she remember any of us?" Ichigo asked. The doctor sighed.

"Unfortunately, Allison's lost her memory." he said, letting go of her head and looking to Ichigo. My heart sank. She... lost her memory? No... "We don't know when her memory will return, or if it will return. We also don't know how much she forgot." he told us. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. If it will return? She'll be stuck like this... forever? I looked to her. She looked so frightened, like a cornered kitten.

"Can this get better?" Ichigo stepped forward. The doctor didn't answer at first.

"It can and it can't. Only time will tell. For now, try to keep your distance. Stress on her in this condition can make her worse." the doctor said. I couldn't handle my emotions at this point. I was struggling to cope with what I've just heard. This can't happen. "She'll be able to go home in a few hours." The doctor said nothing more and walked out and I was left with my girlfriend, who didn't even remember who I was. I looked to her again and she still seemed frightened by the whole situation. This was heartbreaking to say the least. What was I going to do? She lost her memory, which meant she didn't remember me, Ichigo or Rukia, her friends, or... the prom! Oh-no. This is bad. This is really bad!

I jumped to my feet and grabbed Ichigo by the front of his shirt and pulled him outside the room, him grunting and struggling against me the whole time. Once outside, I slammed him to the wall, panting and shaking in realization.

"Renji! What's your problem?!" he exclaimed. I looked to him, my eyes heavy with tears.

"Ichigo, I need to get her memory back." I told him. Ichigo gasped as he looked at me. "I can't let her live like this forever. She has so much in life. All she wanted to do, I ruined. She wanted to go to prom and I know I said no, but I promised to take her now and I have to make this right. Help me!" I begged him. Ichigo loosened up in my grasped and sighed quietly.

"I'll be more than happy to help you, Renji." he said. I looked at him as he smiled. "Besides, she's my friend too." he said. I let him go and let out a relieved sigh.

"Thank you, Ichigo. Seriously, I owe you one." I told him. He nodded before pulling his phone out of his pocket. I was puzzled at why he was doing that. "Who are you calling?" I asked, thinking he was calling Urahara or something.

"I'm calling her parents." his words made my heart rise to my throat. I swatted the phone away, making it crash to the floor. "Hey!" he yelled at me.

"Don't call her parents!" I nearly shouted. He raised an angry eyebrow at me.

"Renji, her parents deserve to know." he said. I shook my head.

"No, they don't. After what they did to her? If they have her sent back they'll leave her to die. She's under my name and my care and she's not going back no matter how injured or sick she is, got that?!" I yelled straight to his face. Ichigo blinked at me in a surprised shock. He nodded briefly and backed off, sighing for breath. "Sorry... I just... love her..." I apologized. He put a hand on my shoulder.

"I understand. If it were Rukia, I would've said the same thing. C'mon. Let's get back to her." he said. With a grateful smile, I nodded and returned to Allison's room.


As the doctor promised, a few hours later, Allison was allowed to go home and she was being wheeled out by Renji to the car. Renji was still down about her not remembering him and even being apprehensive of him. He wondered how she was going to cope going home with him and having to stay there.

"So, how long should she have her head wrapped up like that?" Renji asked, concerned about the gauze around her head.

"Not long at all. In fact, you can take it off tomorrow morning. Make sure she doesn't hit her head and let her sleep on a soft pillow. No recreational activities and be gentle when hugging her or showing affection." the doctor said sternly. Renji nodded.

"And school? She's only seventeen..." Renji worried. School was so important to her. He'd hate to have her miss it.

"She'll have three weeks off from school to ensure her safety." the doctor said. Renji's eyes widened.

"Three weeks?! No! She has prom in three weeks! Isn't there a shorter amount a time?" Renji asked with pleading eyes. The doctor shook his head

"Her health and safety is more important than a dance." the doctor said. Renji opened his mouth to argue, but kept quiet. He understood the doctor's orders and arrived to the exit where his car was parked.

"Okay, Allison. Let's go home." Renji said, offering his hand to her, but Allison shied away and looked at him like he was going to kill her. "What's the matter, Allison? We're going home." Renji said. Allison's eyes widened.

"I'm going home... with you?!" she panicked. Renji swallowed. He forgot to tell her that detail.

"Well, yeah. You live with me." he explained. Her eyes got wider.

"I live with you?! But I barely even know you!" she screamed. He sighed.

"Allison, you do know me, just... not now..." he said sadly. Allison gave him pleading eyes and stood from the wheelchair, shaky and unsteady. Renji offered his hand again and timidly, Allison took it and he led her to the front seat of his car.


I can't believe this... I can't believe this...! I'm going home with some stranger! I don't believe this! First he tells me I'm his girlfriend then introduces me to his stranger friends, and now I'm going home with him?! I swear I felt a bead of sweat roll down the side of my face. I was frozen stiff with fear. How could the doctor send me home with this guy? I don't trust him! Now with his scary-looking tattoos and crazy red hair! He looks like a tiger... maybe if I stay still and keep my gaze on the road, he won't talk to me.

"You all right, Allison?" he had asked me. I flinched at the sound of his voice and bit my lower lip. "Your face is red... are you nervous?" he asked me. Damnit! How did he know I blush when I'm nervous?! Is he some government spy or something? Nonetheless, I said nothing and took a deep breath. Maybe he was taking me to my home. Yeah, maybe he got the words mixed up and he's taking me home to my parents. That's probably what's going on. "We'll be home soon. You don't have to be scared of me, Allison. I'm a nice person..." I heard him say. I looked down to the floor of the car. I can't trust him... well, at least not yet I suppose. I just wish I knew what was going on. Apparently I got in a car accident after a fight with someone. The person I supposedly fought, I have no idea who it is... I just wanna go home!

"All right. We're here." he said as we pulled up to what looked like a condo. He parked the car and got out while I just sat there, stiff as a board. Was he expecting me to get out? I don't freaking think so! But I saw him come around the other side and open the door. He offered his hand and smiled at me. "C'mon, Allison. We're going inside." he said. I gave him an unsure look before excepting his hand and he gently pulled me out of the car.


"Don't be afraid, Allison. We live here." Renji said to me as he opened the door to his apartment.

"We?" I repeated. He nodded and led me to another room.

"Yes, we. This is your room." he said as he opened the door. I walked in and saw it pretty standard with many books and papers strewn around the room. It puzzled me. This was my room? Why am I here with this guy? Alone?! I looked back to him.

"It looks like a schoolgirl's room." I said. He smiled at me.

"That's because you are a schoolgirl. You're a senior, Allison." he said to me. I raised an eyebrow. This must be a joke.

"Not-uh." I argued. He nodded.

"Yes, Allison. We both attend the same school and even have some of the same classes. But we're off for a little bit until you're fully recovered from your accident." he explained to me. I sighed. I didn't believe any of this crap this guy was saying. In fact, I felt a little tired.

"I wanna go to bed. Leave me alone." I said bluntly. I saw his expression go from shocked to somewhat sad and I felt a little bad for saying it like that.

"Okay. I'll be in the next room if you need me. Good night, Allison." he said before leaving my room. For a moment, I sort of stood there to contemplate things. They say I lost my memory, but I remember things. My name is Allison Danvers, I'm 17, and I am supposed to live with my parents, but everything is so weird now. I have a boyfriend and attend school here, and have all these weird-looking friends. For instance, Ichigo. He seems nice and all, but what's with his hair? And Rukia is it? Is she really in high school? She looks like she should be in 5th grade!

Wait a second...

Maybe this is a dream. Yes! That's the answer to everything! This is just some big dream that I'm stuck in. Once I go to bed, everything will be back to normal, and maybe things will make sense when I wake up. I made my way to my bed, buried myself under my covers and snuggled into a ball. Within minutes, I was asleep, praying that this is all just a dream.


I was getting worried about Allison's state. I couldn't help but think the worse could happen. Like, what will happen if she's like this forever? Scared and lost in this world. I know how that feels and I don't want Allison to feel that way. And I don't want her to be scared of me. I'm her boyfriend for Christ's sake! Not a very good one though... I've heard of humans doing horrible things like this, and I don't want to have that reputation.

In a slight panic, I pulled out my phone and dialed Ichigo's number once again.

"Hello? Renji?" I heard Rukia's voice.

"Rukia?" I said, puzzled. "What are you doing with Ichigo's phone?" I asked her.

"He fell asleep." she told me. I gave a blank stare at the wall.

"Oh... okay." I said.

"Do you need something, Renji? How's Allison? Is she okay?" she asked, worriedly.

I sighed. "That's just it. I need your help, Rukia." I said.

"What is it? She's not hurt even worse is she?" she asked me.

"No." I replied. "She's asleep, but... I want to help her get her memory back. Do you have any suggestions?" I asked, desperate for answers. I heard Rukia shuffled on the other side of the phone.

"Hmm... well..." she thought. "I guess I would show her things that are close to her." she said. I paused. "Well, take this way. If Ichigo was in this position, I'd show him things like his guitar, his skateboard, his favorite jacket; things that he's familiar with." she explained. Say, that wasn't a bad idea.

"So, what should I show her? So far, she's close to Zabimaru and my headband." I told her.

"Well... I wouldn't tell her you're a Soul Reaper just yet. Take it show. She loves your headband! Take it to her and maybe it'll jog something back in her wonderful mind." Rukia said cheerfully. I nodded. It was understandable. If I were to tell Allison everything about the Soul Society and Hollows, it may scare her even more. That wouldn't be good.

"You're right, Rukia. Hey, thanks... for everything." I told her.

"You are very welcome, Renji. If anything happens, just call me, and we'll be there right away." she said softly and hung up. As I heard the click I sighed and put my phone down. I guess I'll hide Zabimaru in the closet for now. I don't think she'll look in there. Hopefully... This was going to be tough, but straight tomorrow morning, I'm going to spend as much time with Allison as possible. I was all she had in this world. I had to make it right.


The next morning I decided to take Allison to the park. I was going to take her to a special spot we've had our dates on numerous times. I found it special because she really liked the willow tree that shaded us during the hot summers and kept us secure during the night when we'd lay under it and count the stars and mention the constellations. She'd chatter in my ear about the tiniest of things, but I didn't care. It made her happy and that's all I cared about.

I could tell Allison was weary around all these strangers and I didn't blame her. I'd be nervous too if I was in her position. She was basically like a shy toddler learning about the outside world for the first time. I didn't really like using that example since Allison wasn't a toddler, but a smart and beautiful female. Something I took for granted and deeply regretting.

"Renji, where are we going?" Allison asked me, clinging to my arm. I actually managed to gain her trust, so I was getting somewhere! I let her wear my headband, which she had turned pink in the washer one day when she put her clothes with mine. Nevertheless, I still wore it, but today it was hers.

"We're going to that tree right over there." I pointed. She looked ahead of me and squinted.

"Why?" she asked me.

"We love to go here." I explained. "We'll lay under this tree for a little bit then meet Ichigo for lunch in town."

"Under a tree? Isn't that a little weird?" she asked me. I gave a fake chuckle.

"Well, a lot of people hang out here. Just come with me and I promise you'll like it." I tried to sound encouraging, hoping that this will make Allison remember something between us, but I still had doubts in my mind.

We finally got to the trunk of the tree and we both sat down under the shade. I sighed and looked up at the branches. Allison was hugging her knees and still looked skeptical of everything. This wasn't working and I can slowly feel my anxiety start to rise. Then something caught my eye.

"Hey!" I jerked forward and startled her because I saw her jump. "Sorry about that, but look at this!" I said, picking a dandelion. I handed it to her, but she only stared at it.

"What is it?" she asked.

"It's a dandelion, or a whishie as some people call them." I explained. "You blow on it and make a wish. That's what people do for fun." I told her. I remembered how Allison forced me into a field of dandelions one time and I fell and I was covered in the tiny white spores. Of course we laughed because I looked utterly ridiculous.

"Why would I do that?" she said bitterly. "It's just a weed. There isn't anything special about it." I tried my best not to frown and dropped the flower.

"Well, just an idea if you ever see one." I lied back on the grass and looked up. The sky was full of white fluffy clouds. Another past time of ours. We would look up at the sky and make out shapes or things the clouds looked like. "Hey, Allison, lie down and look up at the sky." I told her. Hesitantly, she lied down, careful not to hit her head too hard on the ground.

"What are we doing now?" she asked me, clearly confused with my behavior. I still had that creeping feeling of doubt in the back of my mind. What if this plan doesn't work? I don't want Allison to be stuck like this because of my ignorance and stupidity. But I had to shake this away and keep trying.

"Look at the clouds." I said with a smile. She looked up at the sky and then glanced back to me.

"What about them? They're clouds." she replied.

"Well, what do they look like?" I asked. For about a minute, she was silent and I looked at her.

"They look like... clouds." she answered, prompting a laugh from me.

"No, I mean, what are they shaped like? Like that one over there." I pointed to a cloud east of us. "It kinda looks like a dolphin, right?" I asked. She scrunched her face and squinted.

"I... guess so... it still kinda looks like a cloud." she said. I felt utterly defeated. Nothing seems to work... maybe Ichigo has an idea.

"You wanna go see Ichigo now? He's probably waiting for us right now." I asked her. She only shrugged her shoulders and I took that as I yes. I helped her up and started for town to meet Ichigo and Rukia. Maybe they could give me some tips on how to get her back to normal.


"Is there anything else you can tell me to help her remember anything?" Renji begged Ichigo while walking down the street. As soon as Renji and Allison had arrived in town to meet them, Rukia practically gained Allison's trust right on the spot and the two haven't stopped talking yet. Renji found that to be a good sign and didn't complain. Maybe Rukia just might have enough to make Allison remember something, whether it be good or bad.

"Sorry, Renji. I don't really know what else to say. Just show her a picture or a place you two know about." Ichigo whispered, making sure the two girls walking behind them didn't hear anything. Renji growled in frustration.

"I've shown her hundreds of photos already and the willow tree did nothing. In fact, I think it got her a little annoyed." Renji said, feeling helpless.

"Well... I don't know what to tell you. Just stick close to her and remind her of things she used to love." Ichigo suggested, bringing a frown to Renji's face.

"Well, I don't seem to be working..." Renji said, depressed at the fact that Allison practically hates his guts... what was he supposed to do? Sending her to her parents was at the bottom of the list. Like, the deep pits of hell type of bottom.

"Hey, don't think like that. The more you think like that, the more Allison will feel that and shy away from you even more. You don't want her running away on you, do you?" Ichigo asked, Renji clenched his fists.

"Of course not, dumbass. The hell do you take me for?" Renji growled through gritted teeth. Ichigo opened his mouth to answer, but Renji's glare made him swallow his words. "Don't answer that..."

A loud beeping bellowed behind the two and they both whipped around. It was Rukia's cellphone.

"Hello?" Rukia answered. Allison stood next to her with a curious expression. Rukia's face suddenly transitioned to alarmed and she looked to Ichigo. "O-oh, right! Okay, we'll be there!" Rukia closed her phone and Ichigo knew the look all too well. There was a Hollow close by. With a smile, Rukia turned to Allison. "I'm so sorry, Allison, but, uh, we need to meet up with someone for something important." Rukia said. Allison only blinked at her.

"We?" Allison asked. Rukia nodded.

"Yes, we." Rukia replied. She turned to Ichigo and grabbed his arm. "C'mon, Ichigo! We have to go, now." Rukia said, jerking Ichigo forward. As Ichigo was being dragged down the street, his badge fell from his pocket and bounced off the sidewalk onto the street. Allison looked at it and noticed a car approaching. In a swift movement, Allison swiped the badge in time before the car's tire ran over it and held it in the air.

"Ichigo!" Allison yelled. "You dropped your badge! How the hell do you expect to fight Hollows if you don't even know they're here!"

Renji's jaw dropped, and Rukia and Ichigo were staring at her like she just grew a second head. Allison, realizing what just happened, froze in place.

"Allison, you... you..." Renji stuttered.

"I remembered." Allison breathed. A wide smile grew on her face and her eyes got bright. "I remembered! Ichigo and Rukia! I remember them!" she cheered, bouncing in place. Ichigo and Rukia ran back, happy that she finally remembered something.

"Allison, you remembered us!" Rukia cheered with her. Ichigo was happily stunned and Renji was still speechless. She just remembered who Ichigo and Rukia were, but she said nothing about him.

"Well, what about me?! Don't you remember me?!" Renji nearly shouted. Allison froze, staring at him before slowly shaking her head.

"I-I'm sorry, but... I don't, Renji." she apologized. Renji felt his heart sink. This wasn't possible. How could she remember Ichigo and Rukia but not him? Her own boyfriend. Then again, with what Renji did, who would want to? But Renji knew deep down that if Allison were back to normal, she'd understand just how determined he was in getting her back, no matter what the cost, and that's just what he was going to do. Even if he has to resort to extreme measures.


Oooo! What is Renji going to do?! I know! But you don't! LOL! The whole doctor turning her head thing actually happened to me and I got sooo mad! I had ring-worm on my eye and the doctor kept gripping my head and face hard and forcing my head in different directions and I was so irritated! That was like, four or five years ago, Haha! I can picture her being all literal and rational with the whole "It's just a weed." thing. Haha! Getting annoyed with Renji. I crack myself up! So... did you like it? I hope so! Now I gotta chose which story to update next...
