Chapter Eleven: Are We Meant to Be?

"Ayume where are you going?" Kaiya asked. "Restroom. I need to wash this." Ayume said pointing to the spot that spilled on her dress and quickly walking away.

"Hold up I'm coming." Kaiya said following Ayume.

Yamamoto just sat there with everyone looking at him.

"Ayume!" Kaiya called walking inside. "Go away."

"You kissed the guy more than once there has got to be feelings flowing." Kaiya said leaning against the wall. "That doesn't count it was an accident."

Then about 2 minutes later she came out of the stall.

"Can we just move on?" Ayume said wetting a napkin and wiping her dress.

"Okay. I'll be waiting outside." Kaiya said leaving.

Ayume looked in the mirror and touched her lips.

"Awe see some feelings developing there?" Her reflection said. "Ayame." Ayume said has she noticed her eyes were dark blue.

"You sure know how to kiss someone Ayume-chan." Ayame teased. "Will you stop popping out everywhere?" Ayume said.

"Hey you're just lucky I'm not taking full control." Ayame said. "I have to go now." Ayume said.

"Yeah yeah." Ayame said leaving. Ayume looked to see her eyes slowly fading back to her light blue eyes.

She walked out and back to the table.

"Okay so is everyone ready to go?" Tsuna asked. "Thank you." He said to the waitress.

"You're welcome please come again."

"We can take the bus halfway home." Tsuna said. "Alright." They agreed.

They waited for the bus to come and Ayume, Kaiya and Meori sat near the left side of the window. There was no one in the bus except them and the driver. On the way home it started to rain really hard.

"Wow it is raining really hard." Ayume said. "Yeah." Yamamoto said
sitting across from her.

They got to a stop light a few minutes later the light turned green.

"Ayume about earlier." Yamamoto said. Ayume slightly blushed, "Ohh don't worry about it." Ayume waved her hands.

"No it's just I-" He was saying. But was stopped by the bus suddenly stopping. Ahead of the bus a dump truck lost control of the brakes and hit the left side of the bus.

The next morning.

Kaiya's room.

Kaiya had woken up in a room. She looked around and noticed that she was in a hospital.

"Oh thank god you are wake." Tsuki said. "Tsuki-san."

"What happen?" Kaiya asked. "Oh you don't remember."

"Well you see a dump truck lost control of the brakes and hit the bus." Tsuki said.

"Why can't I move my leg?" Kaiya said grabbing her left leg. "You broke you leg. The doctor said that it wasn't so bad but you'll need to be on crutches for a while."

"Oh wait is everyone okay?"

"Yeah they got a few scratches. But, you three got the worst."

"Wait three?" Kaiya questioned. "You, Meori and Ayume."

"What Ayume and Meori are hurt? How bad?"

"We don't know yet. We came to see you first."

"You people are starting to annoy me." A voice came from behind the curtain next to her; Tsuki pulled the curtain.

"Oh hell no." Kaiya said. "Sorry Kaiya the nurse said this was the only room not full." Tsuna said.

"Yeah because he is in here. No one would want to be in the same room as him."

"You people are really annoying me. Either shut up or get out." Hibari said. "Don't listen to him." Kaiya said.

"Well I'll just go check on the other two. Bye Kaiya. Bye Hibari-san." Tsuna said leaving.

Then they went to go check on the two. They got to Meori's room. When they got inside Meori was already awake and that Kaname and Gokudera were already inside.

"Meori are you okay?" Tsuna asked. "Yeah I just broke my arm."

"So how is everyone?" She asked. "Well... Kaiya is alright. Not so sure about Ayume."

"I am alright. You can go check her." Meori insisted. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah I have Kaname and Gokudera with me." Tsuna nodded and left to go find Ayume.

-Kaiya and Hibari-

"Why are you even here anyways?" Kaiya asked. "If you must know I came here for my checkup." Hibari said.

"Are you sick?" Kaiya asked. "No. It's just a checkup." Hibari said.

Ayume's room

"Ayume are you okay?" Tsuna asked walking in. "Shh..." Bianchi said.

"Ayume-chan wake up and come and play." Lambo said sitting next to her and shaking her. "Lambo get down Ayume-san is trying to rest." Tsuna said.

Ayume started to wake up.

"Ayume- chan." Lambo shouted. "Lets go play."

Ayume sat up and stared at Lambo.

"Who are you?" Ayume said. "Its me Lambo-san!" Lambo said.

"Ayume don't you remember us?" Tsuna asked. "I don't know..."

"The doctor said this would happen." Bianchi said. "What? Why can't she remember us?" Tsuna asked.

"The doctor said that a piece of glass went in her brain and hit the side that holds the memory." Bianchi explained. "But will she recover?"

"Shinazawa-san is very lucky." The doctor said walking in. "Within the time we had to recover the glass and that it wasn't too deep inside her brain she survived."

"How long till she remembers?" Tsuna asked. "Since we took it out early a few hours. It's not for certain could be a few hours or a few days. But this isn't rare to happen in an accident just try and go through some pictures to help her." He suggested.

"That's good news." Tsuna said. "Thank you doctor." Bianchi said.

"Ayume-chan are you okay?" Tsuna asked. "My head hurts." Ayume said grabbing her head.

"Are you okay?" Bianchi said.

Ayume fell back down on the bed. "Ayume." Tsuna yelled.

"My god my head hurts."

"Ayume?" Tsuna said then he noticed her eyes. "Ayame." Tsuna said.

"Wow you remembered me."

"Who is she?" Bianchi said. "Long story." Tsuna said.

"Well I don't feel like playing. She is just hurting so much and it made me take over for a little bit. Well I have to go she will wake up any moment."
You could see her eyes change back. Yamamoto came inside and Ayume's eyes opened wide.

Tsuna went up to Yamamoto and said, "You know?"

"Yeah the doctor told me outside."

Then Yamamoto walked over to the Bianchi and told her, "Here the doctor said to give this to her. Its something to help her sleep."

"Okay." Bianchi said as she went to give it to Ayume.

So Ayume went to sleep and everyone except Yamamoto stayed with her.

30 minutes later. Ayume woke up.

"Oh... You're awake." Yamamoto said. Ayume slowly got up.

"You should rest." He said. "You're familiar do I know you?" Ayume asked.

"Well yes you know me." Yamamoto said. "Do we have a relationship?" Ayume asked. Yamamoto just blushed at the question.

"Well we're friends if that's what you mean."

"I'm sorry it's just I don't understand why you are more familiar to me then those other people. So I thought it was because we had a relationship."

Ayume looked at his cheek where he got a cut. She slowly touched it and just looked at him.

"Are you okay?" Ayume asked. "Yeah." Yamamoto said smiling as he touched her hand.

Then the door opened and Dino came in. "Oh my god Ichijou is going to kill me. Ayume are you okay?" He asked.

"Who are you?" Ayume asked. "What why don't you know me? Oh... I get it you are playing with me right?" Dino said as Ayume nodded no.

"What happened?" Dino asked. "I'm sorry. I'm only familiar with Yamamoto." Ayume said as Yamamoto turned to her.

"I didn't tell you my name." He said. "I don't know it just came into my head."

"I think you are starting to remember."

Then Kaiya and Meori came in with a cast and crutches.

"Ayume are you okay?" They both asked. "I know them?" Ayume asked tapping Yamamoto's arm.

"Yes. That's Kaiya and Meori." Yamamoto said.

"What happened why can't she remember us?" Meori asked.

"Actually she remembers only Yamamoto." Dino added.

"Why she can't remember? What happened?" Kaiya asked. "When we got into the accident glass went into her brain. But the doctor said this is just temporary." Yamamoto said.

"I am okay I think." Ayume spoke hoping to calm down everyone.

Tsuna and Bianchi came back in with the doctor.

"Kaiya, Meori what are you doing?" Tsuna asked concerned about them.

"It's alright Tsuna we're fine." Kaiya said.

"You two should be resting." Bianchi said.

"It's okay. Kaname and Gokudera said I can see Ayume for a while."

"And please don't make me go back. That room is so quiet it is not funny. All he does is read. I mean I can't even yawn without him getting up and say I'll bite you too death."

"That sounds boring." Meori said. "Tell me about it." Kaiya added.

"Well on the other account. Shinazawa-san you are able to go home today. Majority of the injuries are just minor ones like cuts and bruises. And we did a whole test and there isn't anything wrong with your brain and you'll be fine to walk out of here." The doctor said.

Then he heard as someone paged him. "Any more questions please come and see me." He finally said bowing then leaving.

"Home?" Ayume said trying to remember where she even lived. "Yes you see you live with him." Yamamoto said gesturing to Tsuna as he helped Ayume up off her bed.

"I only live with him...are we the two dating?" Ayume said. Yamamoto quickly grabbed her shoulders, "No no you're not dating. There are a lot of people living there, it's a great home." Tsuna said.

Ayume nodded.

"Ready to go Ayume?" Tsuna asked.

"Okay but can I go with Yamamoto." Ayume said grabbing onto Yamamoto's arm. "Sure." Tsuna said.

"Can you help her get ready Bianchi-san?" Yamamoto asked as Ayume tightened her grip on his arm. "I'll be waiting outside." Yamamoto said touching her hand to offer comfort.

"Okay." Ayume said letting go.

Yamamoto left the room and Bianchi gave Ayume her clothes to change into.

"Okay she's ready." Bianchi said walking out. "You can bring her out." Bianchi continued letting Yamamoto in.

"Ayume it's time to go." Yamamoto said to see Ayume wearing a loose sweater and tights with sneakers with her hair tied in a pony tail and loose hair falling.

She finally turned and noticed Yamamoto. So she ran to his side and held his arm.

"You alright?" He asked. She looked up at him and just smiled. "You ready?" He asked grabbing her bag and throwing it over his shoulder.

So they signed some papers and got to leave the hospital.

"Okay Ayume we're here." Tsuna said.

Then she hugged Yamamoto's arm tighter.

"Don't worry Ayume you'll safe here. I can stay with you for a little." Yamamoto offered. "Okay." Ayume smiled.

Then she went inside with him.

"Oh... Ayume-chan are you okay?" Nana asked. "Umm... Yes."

"Good I made you something to eat when you are hungry."

"Thank you." Ayume bowed.

"Is she alright?" Nana asked Bianchi. "Yes the doctor said this is just temporary. We just have to help her remember."

"That's good to hear."

"Yeah. But, she will only talk to Yamamoto." Kaiya said. "Really why is that?" Nana asked.

"We are not so sure. Part of her just seem to not forget him. One theory the doctor had was sometimes the last person you were with is the one you'll remember. Besides this he can't really think of a logical reason." Bianchi said.

"I'll take her to her room." Kaiya offered. "Okay." Ayume said as she followed Kaiya but with Yamamoto with her.

They went into the room and Ayume just looked around.

"You know Yamamoto why don't you just spend some time with her." Kaiya said going into the closet and pulling out the box she got for her birthday.

"Here are some pictures." Kaiya said giving Yamamoto pictures of Tsuna and them. "Why don't you just go through these with her?" Kaiya said leaving them.

"Thank you Yamamoto." Ayume said sitting on the bed. "For what?"

"You have been nice to me and I am grateful for that."

"Aha you're welcome." Yamamoto open the box.

"So how about we go through these." He said pulling out a picture of Dino and Kaiya. "Okay."

Ayume was about to look at the pictures but noticed a jacket on the dresser. She got up and walked to it.

"I remember this." She said picking it up. Ayume closed her eyes and in that second she remembered...

"I'm sorry. It's sort of big on you." Yamamoto said rubbing his head. Ayume looked at him and she just laughed, "Aha it's alright."

She sat on the bed; she took off the jacket and set it down next to her. She smiled and fell next to it.

"Right um here you go."
"You know it's alright. I have lots of jackets; you can go ahead and keep this one."

"This was yours." Ayume said. Yamamoto smiled, "Yes."

"I remember you gave it to me." Ayume said in a happy tone. "That's great." He smiled again but this time it made Ayume just blush.

"Guys come and eat." Kaiya said walking in and noticing the mood. "Interrupting?" Kaiya asked with an eyebrow raised.

"No. Not at all." Yamamoto said. "We're coming out." He said closing the box.

So they went outside to eat. It didn't feel any different. Ayume just listen to everyone stories and she felt familiar by it.

"Ayume-chan lets go play." Lambo said. "Lambo leave Ayume-chan. She's not feeling well." I-pin said.

"No I guess it will be okay. Sure we'll play."

"Yay." Lambo yelled. "Do you want to play too?" Ayume said talking to I-pin and Fuuta.

"Though she is acting like she all ready knows them." Bianchi said to Nana. "That's because once someone is important to you even if you forget the memory it's hard to forget the feeling."

"Okay what do you want to play?" Ayume asked. "Hide-and-seek."

"You count and we will hide." Lambo said. "Okay."

"1, 2, 3, 4, 5" Ayume counted.

"Playing hide and seek?" Yamamoto asked. "Ohh yeah."

"I have to go home before my dad flips out." Yamamoto said. "Okay."

"I'll be back tomorrow." He said leaving. "Alright." Ayume said waving bye.

"Ohh.. Ready or not here I come."

So she went to go find I-pin, Fuuta and Lambo. She found I-pin hiding behind the couch and Fuuta behind the curtain. Then she went to go find Lambo. She heard noise coming from her room. So she went inside she was about to leave until she saw a cow tail in the closet.

"I found you." Ayume said about to grab him. "No you didn't." Lambo said as he ran to the bed and threw the box to her for a distraction.

"He got away." She said laughing. Then she noticed the pictures

"Yamamoto was going to go through this with me?" She thought.

"Ayume its late why don't you go ahead and sleep." Bianchi said. "Alright." She said closing the box.
