Himeko watched as the sun rised knowing that this was the last day before everything would end. The doubts in her head started ringing in her mind stuff like how he would never remember her or that the reason she saw Daichi in the future was because she became him to not worry her younger self. The tirad seem to never end and it continued through the moring as she put some regular clothes on and went down stairs for breakfast.

Himekos family could tell she was lost in thought though they were worried by the way her eyes were starting to look empty. Himeko ate breakfast without really tasting it before picking up the dishes then washing them before going to the door putting on her shoes and leaving without saying a word.

Himeko wondered around the neighborhood not really having a destination in mind and not seeing where her feet were taking her. Himeko finally snapped out of her lost look by the feeling of a key pressing into her hand. She took her hand out of her pocket to see the key Daichi gave her with his present twirling slowly.

Slowly Himeko became aware of her surrondings to find the secret house in front of her. Slowly tears started forming in her eyes as she moved forward to the door. She started to get deja vu and she entered the key into the hole before turning it. The door opened slowly and Himeko entered the dark hallway not needing any light to find the room that felt like a second home to her. She opened the door half expecting to see Daichi tending to the fire but when she opened it door all the way. All that was there was the feeling of loneliness nad coldness that should never be there.

Himeko crossed the room running her hands across the couch as she looked around feeling like a intruder as she notice things that should have been in there proper place. Soon she reached the window and looked out seeing the cursed sun that took everything away from her because it could stay where it was.

The tears that was building in her eyes since she entered the house finally fail as she let her grief take over her body. Soon her legs could no longer hold her up and she fell to her knees placing her hands over eyes trying to muffle the sounds. "How could you Daichi? After everything we've been through."

dink...dink...dink

Himeko looked down as the noise continued to see the hole that she remember should hold some of the most precious items she had since meeting Daichi. Placing her hands into the hole she pulled up and the board came up revealing items that were covered in dust showing that they been sitting there for a long time.

She pulled out some papers unable to see what was on them she brought her finger across the papers to reveal pictures. Some had her friends and her together others had just her. there were even some that had her and Daichi together. However there was one that stood out the most.

It was the picture that her mom took of them together after Erikas party both were smiling at the camera with embaressed expression cause they knew that had to give a reason for the party clothes they were wearing. Himeko gave a little smile at the picture before putting it together with rest before looking deeper into the hole.

Looking farther she soon pulled out stuff that she used to decorate the room to make it more livable. Some of her toys she couldn't part with when she was younger. Some mor epictures of her family. soon everything was pulled out of the hole and Himeko was surronded by stuff that brought back fond memories but nothing came back without her feeling some pain from the memories that will never mean in anything to the one she loves again.

Without her realizing it the sun was slowly going down just like the day everything had change and the tears started a new as she realized there was no reason to keep this stuff here. So she started to gather everything together glad there was a box she could put it all in. Soon everything was in the box and she placed it on the table wanting to sit and look around one more time.

As she looked around trying to put everything into memory the past started overlapping into the present and it became so real she actually thought Daichi was standing in the door way.

"Nonohara!"

Himeko was so surprised that she fell from the couch with a loud THUD.

"Itai!"

Daichi didn't know what to do being stuck to his spot from the shock and surprise from seeing the girl that has been on his mind all day in his secret house. Himeko got up and just stared at Daichi unable to comprehend that Daichi was standind right in front of her.

"W-What are you doing here? And how did you get in?" questioned Daichi as he moved closer inside. Himeko came out of her shock but was still unable to speak because she had no idea what to tell him. However she noticed the redness from the sun on the wall slowly disappearing and looked behind her to see the sun slowly disappearing behind the trees.

She knew that just like three years ago when the sun goes down he will forget everything he has learned since that day. So she put her hand into her pocket taking out the key he gave her by holding it by the earth key chain he gave her.

"I used this key you gave me when we were younger."

"Why would i give you a key to my secret house?"

"Because...we were friends back then and you gave it to me so I could have a place to go to think just like you do."

Daichi looked so confused as she explained having no memory of giving her the key. But he couldn't help but believe everything she said.

"However i can't keep it anymore I have no reason to continue coming here so i am giving it back."

Himeko walked closer grabbing the box on the way over before handing the key over to him walking past him once it was placed into his hand.

Daichi looked down at the key before noticing the key chain lifting it up my the key he watched it twirl slowly almost not hearing what Himeko said.

"I guess your heart didn't remember me after all."

Something snapped inside Daichi and suddenly memories started flying through his head pictures of Himeko smiling, laughing,angry, but what really stuck was her face crying.

"Daichi!"

"Daichi!"

"Dai-chi!"

"Daichi!"

"Remember me in your heart Daichi."

The last picture of her crying face snapped him out of the memories and he looked behind him to see Himeko gone. Gripping the key tightly in his hand Daichi ran out of the room into the hallway to see himeko just grabbing the door knob.

"HIMEKO!"

Himeko froze in place her hand still on the handle as she listen to the footfalls as they got closer before a hand landed on her shoulder softly turning her around making her face him.

Himeko watch him as he stared at her before he brought his hand up and towards her before opening to reveal the key she just gave him.

"I think my girlfriend would have every reason to keep this key. Its are place and I don't think I want to share it with someone else."

Himeko was staring at the key confused but it grew even more when her head snapped up to look at him when she heard the word girlfriend.

"G-G-Girlfriend!" stuttered Himeko as her face started glowing pink.

Daichi just smiled and grabbed her hand returning the key to its rightful owner before grabbing her arms and bringing her closer to his body and encircling her waist with his arms hugging her tightly to him.

Himeko was still in shock so her arms just stayed limp at her side. Daichi hugged a little tighter before whispering into her ear.

"I remember...I remember everything and i'm sorry I forgot it will never happen again."

Himeko started to cry and her arms circled his neck holding him just as tightly as he was holding her waist. They stood there for what seem like hours but was only a few minutes before they both released each other relunctly but there hands hold stayed together as they both walked back into the room.

Himeko headed for the couch as Daichi set the fire up since the sun went down a few minutes ago. When the fire was lite Daichi turned around and sat next to Himeko both didn't know what to say but soon Daichis curiosity came over him and he started to ask questions.

"Himeko...why did i forget you and did you know my memory was going to be erased?"

Himeko looked sad as she looked away before looking right at him and started explaining.

"Yes I did know your memory was going to be erased but the reason I didn't tell you was because if i did your memory would have been erased sooner. I wanted to spend my last week with you before I left an I admit it was the best way to figure out if you loved me or not."

Daichi tried to speak but Himeko covered his mouth with her hand shaking her head.

"Daichi how could i have known you liked me? I was a tomboyish girl who always fought with you and i nevered listened to you. I was scared so when I knew you loved me I was so happy and its because of your love that i return to help you with your memories."

Daichi removed her hand fromhis mouth and hold it tightly in his.

"But who ereased my memories and why?"

Himeko closed her eyes looking at the floor as she explained.

"The king knew I was moving away and so they decided to erase your memory."

Daichis eyes flashed with anger but he didn't voice it as he continued to listen.

"And the reason they decided to do that was because they thought that you would tell people about the ribbon know that you wouldn't have a reason to keep it."

"I would never-"

"They didn't know that they don't really trust you even if you kept it for 2 years."

Daichi knew he couldn't be mad at Himeko but he could still be mad and the magical world. Daichi stored that anger later and looked at Himeko who still had her head down. He reached over and placed two fingers under her chin lifting up her head to face him. When he saw the tears he reached over with his other hand and wiped them away.

"It doesn't matter right know all that matters is that I was able to remember and I just want you to know that I will always love you."

Himeko gave a small smile "I love you too Daichi." with the declaring of there love finally returned both leaned in and shared there second kiss as the two hearts became one once again.

THE End
