A/N: Today is 9/6. HAPPY KONOENE DAY, EVERYONE! I save this chapter special for today. Okay, maybe I didn't and it just happened coincidentally but I still updated a KonoEne story for KonoEne day, right? Right!

Konoha stuck his little albino nose into almost everything. He glanced at Ene who kept yelling at Shintaro to come back and help her for whatever problem she was talking about.

"I expect you to get him out of here!" he heard her yell at the giant image of Shintaro that appeared on the cyberspace.

It seemed as though she was talking about him...

He stepped on an icon and was transported into a white room with a list of names. He had trouble wrapping his amnesiac mind on how things went in cyberspace. It was all so confusing yet so fascinating.

Konoha poked through Shintaro's contacts. Honestly, it wasn't the longest of lists. He'd recognized one name which was Momo's, but the list goes on with names like Otousan, Okaasan, Ayano, Haruka... which he did not recognize at all. His pink eyes landed on a name which caught his attention and he looked at it with much thought.

...Takane...

The name was somewhat familiar. He clutched his head as it rung. His eyes became teary and widened as he saw flashes of glaring eyes and raven hair. He took a step back as he squeezed his eyes shut. He was hurting. He had no idea where, but he chose to run away from it.

He exited from the room with contacts, still clutching his head, then he looked around. He saw Ene pounding on the large screen with a huge absence of Shintaro. Ene snarled and stomped(if it were possible) away. He followed her as she floated further into the seemingly infinite cyberspace. They came across a larger screen that somehow faced the Dan's staircase.

Again, he thought. Fascinating...

"Ahh!" Shintaro yelled from the other side. Konoha didn't know this was all it took for Ene to transfer from device to device.

He wandered a bit more, leaving Ene to continue her harmless torment on Shintaro. He stepped inside various applications. One app contained the most unusual of sounds, like women experiencing pain. Why would Shintaro have an app like that? Konoha decided to dismiss this.

After much exploring, Konoha returned to where he last left Ene. He saw her sitting in front of the massive screen. Her expression looked down. He'd wanted to approach her but held back as he saw her look up into the screen.

"I promise I'll help, you know?" Shintaro said through the screen. Ene's lips broke into a small smile.

Things turned out well in between them, afterall...


Konoha had noticed that Ene always kept her distance. It made sense that he could never have been physically close to her when he was outside the phone but he had no clue why she refused to be near him even if it was just to float beside him.

Konoha had to admit that he felt something weird in the pits of his stomach when he thinks of Ene always trying to get Shintaro's attention while she continuously avoids him. It was the same feeling he felt when Hibiya came home holding a snow cone to beat the summer heat. Konoha kept staring at the blue-syruped dessert until Hibiya noticed and decided to eat the snow cone in a different room. He had been taught what this feeling was before. He tried to recall. E... en... What was it, again? Envy?

Yes, he remembered now. It was envy. Jealousy. He felt jealous of Shintaro because Ene always tried to seek his attention. It was an emotion he did not fail to process. However, he failed to process whatever reaction he might hold against it. He just sat there, staring at his boots.

He glanced over at Ene who also sat in the further part of space. She rested her forehead on her folded arms propped up on her knees. He rose from his spot and approached her.

"...Ene-chan..." he began, although he had no idea what he was going to say.

Ene looked up at him and let out an almost inaudible gasp. "Uhh, what do you want?"

Konoha obviously had no answer.

"W-well, if you don't need anything, I'll be going now," Ene told him, building up her cheery façade. "I just remembered that I had to do something."

"...Wait," he called. "I have something to ask Ene-chan..."

Ene stopped in her tracks and turned around. "What is it?" she asked as she smiled a little too crookedly for it to be real.

"Does Ene-chan not like me?" he asked. His usually blank expression showcasing slight sadness.

He had no idea how much he hurt her. He had no idea how much it hurt to see him, to want to embrace him, to want to tell him how she felt but cannot for she knew he wouldn't understand because he didn't remember her.

"Of course! I like you, Konoha," she answered as she fiddled with her sleeves. It was partially true, at least. She didn't hate him, no, but she couldn't seem to accept this drastic change.

"Then why does Ene-chan keep avoiding me?" he asked. "Ene-chan is lying to me, I think..." He took a step towards her.

"N-no...!" Ene waved her hands in front of her. "I-I'm not! ...Honest!"

"Then please tell me why," he asked her again, trying to get close to her as she continuously backed away. "Why does Ene-chan keep avoiding me?"

"U-uhm..." was all she could say. It was impossible for her to be cornered in this infinite world but she stopped floating back anyway. He reached to cup her cheek in his hand. It was the second time today that she had stiffened by his touch although, this time, he chose not to retract. She melted and just wanted to drown in the warmth that she felt.

"I want to know..." he said. "Because I like Ene-chan... a lot."

Ene gasped. Was he confessing his feelings for her. Her head was spinning. She felt as though she wanted to tell him that she loved him even before he could remember anything but she also felt that she wanted to guard her heart from now on. "I don't know," she answered.

Konoha put down his hand. "... I don't understand." He seemed like a mixture of confusion, sadness, and pain. Ene felt slightly guilty for making him feel that way.

"I'm sorry," she apologized. "You don't have to understand, really..." She paused to stroke her chin as if to think of something. She looked up at him. "Tell you what, I'll stop. I'll stop avoiding you. What do you say about that?"

Konoha's pale lips curved upward. The happiness he felt was so simple yet so captivating that she was infected by it as well.

"I'd like that very much."
