Me: Hey guys! Welcome to another chapter on this Misc. Anime story, the Animal Island!
*Pretty soon, Kazaka and Sparks had arrived with a smile on their faces.*
Sparks: It's about time.
Kazaka: Time for what?
Sparks: This relationship arc. It will be interesting to see where would this one go cause the choice is all yours
Kazaka: Ah. Good Grief!
*We all laughed.*
Kazama: And by the way, as always, thank you so much for supporting us by favoriting and following him as well as his stories.
Me: That's right. Since it's a Misc. Anime story, it's a complete OC's story. Therefore I own the OCs and no one can use them without my permission.
Sparks: That's right.
Me: So now, without further adiou, let's get cut to the 9th chapter of my first ever Misc. Anime story. Enjoy folks! :).
Sparks: Remember Kazaka. The choice is yours!
Kazaka: You already said that -_-.
Chapter 9: I remember you now.
Ayami's house:
It seems like Ayami's mom is making something on the kitchen when she heard that someone is calling her and recognizing that voice, her mom came rushing towards her.
"Yes Ayami dear?" Her mom asked.
"Mom. Can you give me some money? I wanna go out and buy some chocolates." Ayami said.
"For who?"
"For Kazaka."
Ayami's mother laughed a bit.
"It isn't even Valentine's Day yet and it's a long day away ."
"I know about that mother but yet I still want to give it to Kazaka to make up for what had happened today." Ayami said.
"What happened?"
"Well it's kinda a bit lengthy so would you mind listening to it?"
"I'm all ears."
"Okay. This is what happened today..."
Kazaka's house:
Kazaka's mom is seem to be doing something when she heard someone calling her. Recognizing that voice, she is about to go to her son's room but her son is already there, looking for her till he sees her.
"There you are." Kazaka said.
"Oh hi there. Need help?" His mother asked.
"Yeah. Can you give me some photo albums?"
"Eh?! That's a lot. Why do you need those?"
"It's kind of a long story of what had happened today so will you like to listen to it?"
"Sure. Just give me a few minutes."
Kazaka nodded as he sat down and waited for a while before his mother came, apologizing and then sat down with her son so that she can listen as to what the problem is.
Sooner/Later
Ayami's house:
Ayami is waiting at her room, giving herself a big sigh while Rosie is frankly looking at the clock and searching around. It's 7:30 pm. She still has some time left though.
"Hey. Is everything okay?" Rosie asked.
"Yeah. I'm good. No problem" Ayami said
Suddenly, she can hear the footsteps in which silence and tension occurs around the room in which she remained till she hears a voice calling her out:
"Ayami! I brought some chocolates!"
Recognizing the voice, she ran and soon met her mother.
"Mother." Ayami said in awe.
"Here. Just what you asked for." Her mother smiled as she gave her some bunch of chocolates, "I brought them myself so that you don't have to buy it."
"Arigato!"
"No problem Ayami. It's just that I'm really impressed as to how you can remember this boy so much even though how long it has been. That's great."
"Thank you mother."
"You like him don't you?"
Ayami just smiled.
"Good luck and go get him." Ayami's mother smiled.
"Thanks."
Rosie also nodded and smiled.
Kazaka's house:
Kazaka is waiting patiently for a while while watching some T.V with Sparks when suddenly his mother called out:
"Kazaka."
Kazaka got up in an instant and went to his mother, who smiled and said:
"Kazaka. Based on what you said to me, I think these 2 photo albums will try to solve your problem." His mother said, "I hope that this will help and you can always ask me for another one if it doesn't answer your questions."
"Thanks Mom." Kazaka smiled.
"No problem. I bet she's waiting for you as well."
"Possibly."
They chuckled a bit before his mother said:
"Take care and good luck now. I better head to the bathroom now."
Kazaka nodded as his mother now goes to the toilet.
"Now let us head upstairs to solve your memory mystery once and for all." Sparks said.
"Yeah." Kazaka nodded as they went upstairs to Kazaka's room.
Much later
Night
8:33 pm
Ayami's house:
"Mom! I'm heading out!" Ayami called to her mother.
"Okay. Good luck but don't come back too late at night because some criminals might kidnap people at that time." Ayami's mother called back.
"Don't worry about that Mom. I'll be back safe and sound."
"Okay then. Bye!"
"Bye."
And with that said, she then closed the door. With Rosie beside and accompanying her, she said:
"Let's go Rosie."
"Yeah. Let's do this." Rosie smiled.
And with that said, they started to go to their destination.
Kazaka's house:
Unlike Ayami though, poor Kazaka is struggling to remember anything throughout those photo album books. Sparks is getting a bit tensed and afraid. The clock is ticking.
"Kazaka. I think you should tell your mom about that being not working and ask her to get more photo albums that would solve your problem." Sparks said, "Also try to refresh your memory so that you can locate it clearly."
"Got it. AUGH! What's wrong with me tonight?!" Kazaka cried as he heads towards the bathroom.
Park:
Ayami and Rosie soon arrived at the small open spaced building on the lake in which Ayami said:
"Looks like we are here."
"The Love Lake and Building Well eh?" Rosie asked smiling.
"Yep. Now we're gonna have to wait here."
"For how long?"
"For as long as we like."
However, both Rosie and Ayami herself both know that this is just a joke in which Ayami sighs.
"I just hope that he comes soon." Ayami said.
"Same here." Rosie said.
Kazaka's home:
Kazaka is looking at those other photo albums. Sparks is really worried now.
"Oh man we're not gonna make it." Sparks thought and gulped as he watches the clock stuck 9 pm.
Kazaka seem to notice that as well as sweat is coming all around his face. This looking on the photo album continues for a while till Kazaka was close to giving up but then...
"Wait. What's this?" Kazaka asked as he looks at the photo that will soon change his life.
That photo was a little boy which resembles himself and a little reddish brownish hair girl. Upon seeing it, his memory suddenly triggered and soon one of Ayami's speech seem to occur around his head:
"And when we use to tease each other a lot..."
Immediately, he remembers the flashback.
Flashback:
"Rapunzel! Rapunzel! Let down your hair." Little Kazaka teased a bit about her hair.
"My name's not Rapunzel! It's Ayami!" Little Ayami whined as Little Kazaka laughed a bit.
"Well your hair looks really long enough for you to be called by that Rapunzel name."
"But that doesn't mean that...Moe!"
And so Little Kazaka laughed at that with Little Ayami soon joining in as they laughed for a while before Little Ayami said:
"Maybe I can let my hair down for you."
"Oh cool but where?" Little Kazaka asked.
"I guess no where."
"Eh?!"
"Got'cha!"
"Wh...What?!"
And Little Ayami will laugh at Little Kazaka being a bit embarrassed but pretty soon, he laughed as well.
Present:
"I must find other proof to make sure of myself." Kazaka said as takes a good look at the other photos.
However, it didn't take long for him to find another photo which shows both of them, as little kids, having fun. Upon seeing it, his memory suddenly triggered and soon another one of Ayami's sayings seem to occur around his head:
"Like I remember how we use to play around when we see play around when we were little."
Immediately, he remembers another flashback.
Flashback:
"Tag! Got ya! You're in!" Little Kazaka giggled.
"Wait! Come back here!" Little Ayami growled a bit as she soon starts chasing him but later on, they had fun chasing each and after they are done, they laughed.
"That was fun wasn't it?"
"It sure is."
Present:
Kazaka, believing that he is slowly getting closer and closer, continues to search for some more till he finds another one which shows them, as little kids, sleeping together at night, much to his embarrassment. Upon seeing it, his memory suddenly triggered and soon another one of Ayami's sayings seem to occur around his head:
"And when we try sleeping at nights but then got spooked up by some noises in which we weren't ready and..."
Immediately, he remembers another flashback.
Flashback:
"What's that noise?" Little Ayami seems scared.
"I don't know but I would probably hide under the bed right now if I were you." Little Kazaka said, feeling scared too.
"Look there!"
Little Kazaka looked and could only gasp in horror of the ghostly like shadow figure.
"Help?" Little Kazaka asked meekly.
Suddenly, thunder noises occur and both of the kids screamed in fright as they hid under the bed. Pretty soon, their moms came.
"Kids. Come down." Little Ayami's mother said.
"It's just the window being left open. Gotta check it before you sleep." Little Kazaka's mother said as she closes the window.
The kids soon sighed in relief.
Present:
Kazaka continues to search for some more till he finds another one which shows them as little kids. He then soon discovers that this is the last photo that was taken when they were little kids. Upon seeing it, his memory suddenly triggered and soon another one of Ayami's sayings seem to occur around his head:
"And that heart breaking moment when we had to leave due to difficult circumstances around our parents and..."
Immediately he remembers another flashback.
Flashback:
"Kazaka. I don't wanna go!" Little Ayami cried, "Mummy and Daddy told me that we are gonna move soon but I'll be lonely again!"
"Oh Dear..." Little Kazama sadly said.
"Kazama. If I go away, will you remember me?"
"Definitely. Hopefully, we can get back together pretty soon."
"Thank you for everything Kazaka! I hope we meet again."
"Yeah. Hopefully."
And pretty soon, Little Ayami planted a kiss on Little Kazaka's cheek.
Present:
Kazaka's mind and brain seems to fill up the memories he had with her till it all led to one fateful moment at the school where they met again after a long time.
"Kazaka!" Ayami cried happily, as she flung arms around him.
Upon remembering that, Kazaka fell down and breathed violently which caused Sparks to check on him.
"Are you okay?"
"I...I remember everything now. The moments and times I had spend with her." Kazama said with tears coming out from eyes before asking Sparks, "Sparks. What time is it now?"
"9:30 pm."
Thunder strikes Kazaka in an instant.
"NANI?! 9:30?!" Kazaka asked and freaked out in an instant.
2 minutes later:
"Mom! Dad! I'm taking my leave!" Kazaka called out, "I'll be back!"
"Okay. Take care." His parents smiled and waved their hands.
Kazaka also waved too before he began running like a mad bull. Sparks follows him.
"Oh Man. What have I done?" Kazaka cried out.
"Don't worry. You remember everything now. Just gotta meet her up. Hope we are not too late." Sparks said.
Kazaka sighed as they began running towards the park.
Park:
Ayami's tears are slowly falling due to the fact that Kazaka is not coming and this could mean one thing...
Rosie sighed as she approached Ayami, who's everything has come crashing down. Rosie said:
"It's okay. You did everything you can. Maybe he had some difficulties in remembering you after all."
"He could have just texted me at least or call me." Ayami sighed.
"What are you going to do now?"
"I'll wait for another 15 minutes. If he doesn't come, then I'll make peace with that fact and move on with my life looks like."
Rosie nodded and sighed as they began waiting for another 15 minutes. Ayami is slowly walking back and forth when suddenly she could hear a voice:
"Wait! Ayami! Don't go! Please!"
"That voice just now." Ayami got startled up a bit just now as she recognizes the voice, "Kazaka?"
She then turns around to see...indeed that is Kazaka. He's breathing a bit heavily because of all the running that he did.
"You came." Ayami said happily as she wipes out some of the tears from her eyes.
But upon arriving immediately, Kazaka ran and flung his arms around her which caught Ayami by surprise as they fell down.
"Whoa." Rosie said in awe as she watches from the distance.
"Ka...Kazaka?" Ayami asked in surprise.
"First of all, take that for what happened when you first saw me in school." Kazaka said.
Ayami then realizes what Kazaka was saying and sighed a bit. Looks like she got surprised by one of her own moves. After a while though, Kazaka started crying a bit and said:
"I...I remember everything now...I was just looking at the photo albums to make sure and I remember everything you said which ended up being totally true...I didn't mean to come late...I was just wanting to make sure that I really know you before I come and meet you..."
Ayami couldn't believe what she just heard. All Kazaka wanted to do is to make sure that he really knows and remembers her before coming to meet her. And she was about to leave him, possibly forever, after 15 minutes. Ayami is really ashamed of herself as tears are starting to fall down from her eyes.
"I'm sorry...I'm really sorry." Kazaka cried out a bit.
"Kazaka! You don't have to be sorry! I was gonna leave you forever after the last 15 minutes, not knowing what you were actually doing before you came to see me! Please don't say sorry! I don't blame you!" Ayami cried as she tightly embraced him.
As Ayami and Kazaka are sharing a happily tearful reunion, Rosie smiled as she watched from a distance but she wonders where Sparks is when suddenly she just saw Sparks right through his face and he simple said:
"Yo."
Rosie jumped a up a bit while Sparks chuckled.
"You scared me there." Rosie said.
"Sorry. Just wanting to make myself a surprise entrance cause we were very late." Sparks said.
"For a good reason that is."
"So you heard it right?"
"Yeah. From a certain distance, looks like it was really a searching day you guys had right?"
"Yeah. By the way, shall we leave them for a while and go somewhere else cause I don't wanna disturb them."
"You're right. Let them have their moments."
And with that being said, Sparks and Rosie left to explore the place and give some peace to Ayami and Kazaka.
Later:
"I asked my mom for those photo albums which she did bring some specific thing of those that will match the ones you told and mine as well when we were kids." Kazaka said.
"Hmmm...I see." Ayami said.
"Yeah and Ayami? Remember what you were saying about the moments when we were little also?"
"Yep."
"That's where I was able to remember you. Those photos led me to those memories before I began to remember now."
"Kazaka."
Silence occurred for a moment as Ayami got closer to Kazaka before Kazaka apologized.
"Ayami. I couldn't get to keep the promise that we made when we were kids. I was being like surprised when we met again afterwards and I even pushed you when you tried to kiss me and..."
Ayami then hold Kazaka's hand.
"Please. Don't blame yourself ever again. I don't blame you for anything. It was bound to happen that we may not know each other after a long time and, like I said, I also deserved that push.
"Ayami..." Kazama looked at her.
"Besides, right now, you being here finally remembering me is totally the worth the wait."
"Yeah thanks..."
Kazaka couldn't help but smile as Ayami is holding and feeling the warmth of Kazaka's hand.
"This scent...This warmth...it just takes me back to my childhood days... So nostalgic." Ayami thought and smiled as she kissed his hand in which Kazaka blushed about it.
"Maybe we can see the photo albums together when we were at our homes." Kazaka said.
"I would love to." Ayami smiled.
Pretty soon, tears are coming out from her eyes in which Kazaka got a bit surprised.
"Ayami. You're crying." Kazaka said.
"I know. I know right?" Ayami cried happily as she tries to wipe away the tears from her eyes, "It's just that I'm so happy that I finally reunite with the boy that I fell in love with since we were kids."
"Wait." Kazaka gasped in surprise, "You fell in love with me since we were kids?"
"Yeah. I actually had fallen in love with you since we were kids."
Silence occurred for a moment in which Kazaka is a bit red faced in embarrassment in which Ayami giggled a bit.
"Okay...I didn't get to notice that." Kazaka whistled a bit.
"It's okay. That was my inner thought at that time." Ayami smiled, "Right now, it looks like I've said it."
"Yes you did, Rapunzel hair type girl."
"Kazaka. Her hair is super long than mine!"
"But it does look like her sometimes. In fact, I can say that you are Rapunzel."
"Yep. Still acting like the little boy I had fun with."
"Can't help it you know?"
And then they started to laugh and hug each other. The warmth of their hug is felt by both of them.
"Oh Kazaka. I had nearly forgotten something." Ayami said as she hands over to him a bag, "See it."
"What's this?" Kazaka asked before his jaws drop in shock, "Valentine Chocolates?!"
"Hai."
"But Valentine's has already been long past due."
"I know but take it as two things. First one is an apology for what happened today in the rooftop and second is to show my feelings for you."
Silence occurred for a moment as now tears are starting to fall from Kazaka's eyes.
"Kazaka?" Ayami asked.
"It's...It's just that even though it's way past due, it's still my first Valentine chocolate gift ever." Kazaka cried happily as tears are coming now.
"Kazaka."
Ayami soon wiped away his tears and slowly pulls him towards to her.
"Kazaka. You know...if you don't mind..." Ayami smiled while blushing a bit.
No words to be said. No hesitation this time as Kazaka already knew what she meant. Ayami, already understanding this, leaned closer to him until her lips met his lips. They kissed.
"I've always wanted to have my first kiss in this place where love miracles happen." Ayami thought and smiled.
Meanwhile, Sparks and Rosie had seen it and they are now in awe and smiled.
"They did it." Rosie smiled, "That's four of us together now."
"Yeah. It's like fate has brought us together in here." Sparks smiled.
Rosie nodded and smiled as they watch the lovely couple sharing the kiss at the beautiful night.
Me: Yep. And with that ends Chapter 9.
Arigato means thanks in English.
Hai means okay in English.
Nani means what in English.
