Part 1: Lost Memories
By Shirogami
Notes: This chapter is a chapter of mixture of what happens within Shirogami's mind when he became half-conscious and the reality where they fight with Dou. The slant / italic words mean the part of the Shirogami and the normal typing means reality.
Chapter 11: Familiar sound and warmth of yours
"Wake up"
"Who... Who is calling me"
"Please... wake up... for me"
Slowly open his eyes, Shirogami founds out himself floating at a totally dark space without any ground, he can't even see his hands, but for sure he still has them with him.
"Who is it? Where are you?" Just as Shirogami starts to ask, a blur vision slowly appears in front of him. It appears to be a naked female who has the dark blue long hair like someone he knows, but her eyes are covered by shadow, leaving Shirogami a wild guess.
"Ms. Todo, what are you doing here?" Shirogami talks to the female, but she does not answers, just smiles and begins to walk away from Shirogami, some sort like leading him to somewhere.
"Wait, wait for me." Shirogami tends to run towards the female, no matter how fast he runs, it appears that the distance between them never change. Shirogami chases her until he sees some sort of light shines through a door and brighten up his vision. The female smiles at Shirogami and enters the door. As his will to escape from the dark place, Shirogami follows her.
"Ryo, attack his right, I will take the other side, Kenchiro, Shoot at your will." Eiji orders his companions to form an attack formation, as they know Dou is not easy to handle if they fight without one.
"Roger, let's us avenge Shirogami"
Although all of them fight against Dou, but Eiji warns his sister from taking the risk and asks her to take care of Shirogami. Meanwhile, the katana behind Shirogami's back shivers and echoes loud again, she tries to touch it and calm it down, says, "Can't you hear it, Shirogami? Your katana wants you to wake up too, so please..." Her hand holds Shirogami's face tight to her chest, "No matter what happens, I am here..."
"What is this? Where am I now?" After enters the light room and start to get easy with his eyes, Shirogami founds that he is standing in another dimension, this time it fills with various glasses floating around. He walks to one of them, staring at it for a while, says, "What is this anyway?" As he talks, he tries to touch it surface. Suddenly, a vision slowly reveals from blur and dark to bright clear, just like... "A photo? ...What the"
Shirogami shocked to found out that it is a picture of him, with someone holding his arm. "Is this... me? Then, who is that woman beside me? Why is she looks so familiar?" Think carefully in his mind, Shirogami realize that that is the woman he saw before the room, the one with the dark blue long hair and covered face. Before he continues to think for more questions, the glasses around him starts to shine like the first one did. When Shirogami looks at them, he sees more and more pictures of him with the same woman he saw previously. Each of them shows the happy times he had, through his happy expressions on the pictures.
"Do... you... remember?" a sound heard from Shirogami's back. Shirogami turns to the sound source and found out she is the woman in the picture, but still, she is blur and naked like previous.
"Who... are you? Do we know each other?" Shirogami asks.
The woman nods. As Shirogami tries to move forward a bit to find out more, the woman starts to out of vision, so he stops on his steps and says again, "Okay, I won't move, please tell me who are you?" The woman maintain silence, point at one of the pictures on his back. Shirogami turns and look at it, there is a marriage picture of the woman and him. Shocked by the picture, Shirogami grabs the rings hang in front of him and exams them, the blur letters starts to become clearer, it carves... "I.O. and S.S. ?" Shirogami looks back and forth at the rings, the woman and the pictures, realizes that she is the one of the ring's owner. When he tries to ask for more, the dimension starts to rumble and the woman shines bright that barely can be seen with naked eyes.
"WAIT!" Shirogami shouts as the light starts to devour him.
"PIANG!" Holding Shirogami's unsheathed katana, Eiji's sister fights the survived Kouma who tries to sneak attacks Shirogami and her. "Don't even think about it. I may look young but I know how to protect, especially him." Holding the sheath on her left, her right hand grab the sword, whispers, "Please aid me, for his sake"
But the Kouma doesn't think that she is threat, and he is so eager to have a piece of Shirogami, without thinking twice, it attacks them. While the swordswoman starts to get panic, a glow shines from the plate of the katana she holds, on impulse she pulls out the blade and slash the enemy in front. Unlike other attack, the kouma doesn't just been slashed apart, but also slowly turns to ashes from the cut to the end of its body parts and vanishes.
"This katana... is... strong..." Holding her new weapon, she founds out the blade is shining brightly in pink color energy. Dou, who is relaxing in handling his enemies suddenly distract by the sword as well. "That energy... it can't be..." For the first time, Dou becomes panic and rushes to Shirogami's direction. But Eiji stops him to, as he notices that it tries to attack his only sister. Next to him is Ryo, who continues his attack to hold it back.
"Don't block me, worms!" Sweeping its left fist, both Eiji and Ryo is punched to the side and Dou continues what he wants to do. And Shirogami's protector is ready to take her risk as she pose her sword stance and ready for the monster.
