"So, what did you want to talk to me about? " Mitsuki asked her companion as they sat on a wooden bench.
"I promised I would help you to sing, remember? "
"Hai. "
"There's a person who can help you. I can't. Takuto can. He still has…Meroko's power, as you said. He'd only have to remember his past. "
"But how? "
"He might remember me. I'll try to bring his memories back. After all, maybe his deep hate for me will resurface and bring back some memories."
"Arigato, Izu-kun! " she said and hugged him.
They settled to go to Takuto's house. Once there, Izumi rang the doorbell and waited for the young man to answer.
"Hi, you might remember me, " said Izumi. "You once hated me for all your life was worth. "
To their surprise, Takuto's eyes widened and he grabbed his head with his hands, falling to his knees at the same time.
"Wha…What's happening to me? I…AAH!"
Takuto's eyes cleared and he looked at them in recognition.
"Mitsuki…Izumi?! Wait…Are you…human?! "
"Hai. Though I had to pay the high price for it. I've been cursed."
He then explained what had happened. Takuto was shocked, to say the least, but he agreed to help Mitsuki.
"Oh, thanks, Takuto! "
Izumi stepped back when they hugged, letting them have some privacy. He sighed inaudibly and looked at the sky sadly. When would he get to be that happy?
