"If it wasn't for me, Mom would have gotten suspicious and tried to check up and you, and called their parents to ask if you were there and and-"

"I know, I know. Thanks again, Aoi." Yori said. Yori and Aoi were walking home together. Yori was well enough to leave the hospital, though, he stumped the doctors, they didn't know what was wrong with him, and Yori didn't tell them how he got the stab wounds; he just told them that he didn't remember.

"You owe me big time, Onii-chan." She smirked.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah." He waved it off, she stuck her tongue out at him. "So, how's your studies going?"

"Boring but fine. How about your studies?" Aoi had put on an evil grin.

"Shut up..." Yori sighed. He's been so busy lately, he hadn't had enough time to study, he's still surprised that's he's passing somehow. They finally arrived at their house.

"Ueno Yori!" Their mother said as they walked in, her arms crossed.

"See ya~!" Aoi knew that this ment Yori was in trouble, so she ran upstairs.

"W-What's wrong, Okaasan?" Yori asked clueless.

"Why has your grade dropped to a C?" She asked.

"W-What?" Yori was stocked.

"You didn't know?" She raised a brow. Yori sighed.

"No..." Yori was too afraid to look at his grades lately, he knew his grades had dropped, but he didn't know they dropped down to a C~!

"Well, your going to stay here all day in your room studying. No more spending the nights at your friends house until your grade gets up."

"Mom! I'm an adult now! I can do what I want! I'll bring my grades up!" Yori said. He didn't want to upset the children. He remembered that one time that he forgot to visit, Kaito got really mad, he thought that Yori tried to leave forever, and Teto was upset. Kaito got so mad (or upset, maybe both) that he threw his knife at Yori. He didn't want to be late either, it wasn't as bad as not visiting, Kaito would just yell at Yori and saying don't be late next time, and not talk to him for the rest of the day.

"Well, you live under my house, you go by my rules, got it?" Then she walked off. Yori sighed, why does his mom have to be overprotective and a tad strict? Yori went upstairs and into his room.

"So, what are ya going to do~?" Aoi asked, sitting on his bed.

"What did I say about coming into my room without permission?" Yori said as he sat next to her.

"Eh, to late now. Anyways, what are you going to do now, you know, about visiting the children?" She asked again.

"I don't know..." he sighed.

"Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh~!" Aoi suddenly began jumping up and down. "Can I go visit them for you?" She asked brightly. Yori stared at her for a moment.

"...Heck no..." he replied.

"Aw~! Why not?"

"Your going to get yourself killed, or lost, or in trouble."

"Come on~! I won't~! What if I said I'll bring one of your friends with me?"

"... No..."

"Come on! I haven't been there in a while! Pleeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase~!" Aoi got on her knees and began begging.

"No is a no, Aoi!" Yori said. He got a book and began studying.

"Fine~!" Aoi stuck her tongue out and cross her arms. "... Yori, do you think that the children will ever be free...?"

"What do you mean?" Yori asked quietly.

"I don't know... Maybe they might be able to leave the room someday..." She shrugged. "Do you think that might happen?"

"I'm not sure... Probably..." Yori said, not looking up from his book.

"I wonder if we can help them... you know?" Aoi said, Yori nodded slightly.

"What brought this up anyways?" Yori asked.

"I don't know..." Aoi shrugged. "You know Yori, why don't you sneak out?"

"Sneak out?"

"Yeah, sneak out. Mom leaves for work soon, and Otousan is not as strict as Mom, plus, he's also leaving in a little bit."

"Sou ka, but when are they going to come back?"

"Well, Mom will be out until late tonight, and Dad wouldn't care, he will probably think your still in your room studying. I say you have enough time to leave and sneak back in later."

"True... Okay then. Aoi, tell me when Mom and Dad leaves."

"Got it~!" Aoi saluted and skipped out of the room. Yori just stared in her direction an shook his head.

Yori laid on his back and sighed, he began to think about what he and Aoi were talking about ealier. The children, could they really be free someday? Could it really be possible? They're souls have been bound to the room, the building for so long. They suffered so much, the scientist, losing friends, isolation, immortality. The three children suffered too, betrayl, the scientists, also isolation and immortality. Immortality... that's what started their pain. The greed of humans, wanting to find away to live forever, lead to the research of immortality, a cruel and horrible research. How could someone do that to children? People can be cruel... though, there are people that are against this, a lot of people. Aloisia new about it and went undercover to save them, risking her own life. Humans, are strange creatures, and immortality is a curse. He heard steps coming up the stairs and down the hall.

"Okay Yori, you can sneak out." Aoi said as she came in the room.

"Thanks Aoi." Yori sat up, put his books away, and began quietly walking out of his room and down the stairs with Aoi following behind him. They're father's eyes were fixed on the T.V; the news channel was his favorite channel to watch.

"Can I come?" She asked, whispering.

"Sorry Aoi, maybe next time." Yori whispered back. Aoi crossed her arms and began to pout.

"But I helped you out a bunch of times before, didn't I?" Aoi whispered in a semi-whining tone.

"Yeah but..." He looked at Aoi's pouting face with her cheeks sightly puffed with air, giving him a look. She did help him a lot, and sometimes she got in trouble for it. He sighed. "Alright, but don't run off or cause trouble, got it?" Aoi nodded with a smile and they left after they put on their scarfs and coats.

"I haven't been to the orphanage in a long time." Aoi said as she walked with Yori.

"Yeah, and I still don't like you going there." He said.

"Aw~! But it's really cool there~!"

"To bad." Yori just continued walking. Aoi sighed.

"So, how are the teenage immortal and the two ghost kids doing~?" Aoi asked. She came with Yori to visit Kiyoko, Masaru, and Yuki only once, they were very quiet when she came, and kept a close eye on her.

"Okay." he responded. They continued walking until they saw Itsuki sitting at a table in front of a coffee with hot chocolate next to him, looking extremely bored.

"Yo, what's up?" Yori said as he walked up to him.

"Yori~!" Itsuki jumped up from his seat with a smile. "I was so bored~! Mayu is having a girls day with her friends. So I'm here all bored and alone with nothing to do," he sighed.

"Why don't you come with us, Oshiro-kun~?" Aoi suggested.

"Really?" He looked over at Yori. "Can I?"

"Eh, sure, if you want." Yori said.

"Yay~! I can go with you guys~! I won't die of boredom~!" Itsuki cheered. They continued on their way to the orphanage and into the children's room.

"Konnichiwa Yori~!" Teto came running up to Yori with a hug.

"Konnichiwa, Teto." Yori gave her a hug back. Teto looked over at Aoi and Itsuki.

"Konnichiwa." She greeted them smiling.

"Konnichiwa." They said back.

"Aoi-chan, wanna have some tea with me and Meiko?" Miku said from a table, already pouring a cup of tea for her. Aoi nodded and went over. Yori looked over and Rin and Len, who were sitting with Kaito. They were staring at Itsuki, in deep concentration. Once in a while, they would whisper something to Kaito, who was also staring at Itsuki. Yori looked over at Itsuki, who seemed to not have noticed. He was in the corner playing with Teto. The twins went over to Itsuki and Teto, they didn't talk to Itsuki, just started talking to Teto, but they were looking at him in the corner of their eyes; it wasn't really notice able. Itsuki smiled like usual and went to go over to have to with Miku and the others. The twins stared at him one more minute and went back over to Kaito, and whispered something to him; he nodded and the twins went off to do their own thing. Kaito continued to watch Itsuki. Yori went over and sat right next to Kaito.

"What's up?" Yori asked. Kaito didn't say anything for a moment.

"Itsuki... he's avoiding the twins... Always have been, ever since he came here..." Kaito said, his eyes still fixed on Itsuki.

"What do you mean?"

"Yori... The twins told me that Itsuki had always been blocking them out of his head and been keeping his feeling neutral... He knows about they're abilities, and he somehow knows how to block them out... Yori, he keeps avoiding the twins... There's something strange about him..."

"What do you mean? It's just Itsuki. If you're saying that he's avoiding the twins because he walked off to the table when the twins came over, I don't think he was avoiding them. He just went to go have some tea." Yori tried to explain. Kaito shook his head.

"Okay... Then tell me a time where Itsuki stayed around Rin and Len, and didn't go move away." Kaito then looked at Yori. Yori tried to think. Even though that Itsuki hasn't been here a lot, he never stayed around Rin and Len; now that he thinks of it, he always stayed on the opposite side of the room, then moved away when they came near. He never spoke to them; yeah, maybe smiled and looked at them, but never really spoke or said a single word to them.

"I... I can't." Yori said quietly.

"Exactly. Rin and Len said that he's doing it on purpose, he's hiding something..." Kaito said. "That's all they know so far, because he keeps blocking them out. They never meet someone who can completely block them out."

"Why would Itsuki be hiding something? I mean, it's Itsuki." Yori said. He and Mayu knew Itsuki since the third grade. He's always been the same; a happy-go-lucky, silly, a bit clumsy at times, friendly, full of energy, cheerful guy. He and Itsuki were best friends. Why would Itsuki be hiding something? Why is he blocking Rin and Len from his thoughts and feelings? Could there be something going on with Itsuki? No, there couldn't be; I mean, it's Itsuki we're talking about. Yori looked at Itsuki. He saw the twins come over to have some tea. Itsuki smiled at them... then got up and went to the other side of the room... He was avoiding them...

"See..." Kaito said. "Yori, I know what you're thinking... 'This is Itsuki we're talking about'. But, have you ever thought that maybe he's been pulling this act ever since he meet you? Or maybe even before?"

This shocked Yori. Pulling an act? What does he mean by that? Does he mean he's been only "acting" like the way he is? Faking his personality? No, it can't be. There hasn't been anything strange he seen in Itsuki, ever. But then he began thinking. There has been some things that would make you think that's not like him. The nightmares. Yori remember Itsuki having nightmares when they were at the hospital. He never had nightmares before- wait, he had had nightmares before, now that Yori remember a few other times. When he was younger, Itsuki would always have trouble sleeping because of nightmares; this lasted until the beginning of the middle of middle school. And now that he thinks of it, it was always the same dream, saying the same things in his sleep. Itsuki would always be saying, "I'm sorry, I had to do it," and, "It was an order, I couldn't disobey. I had to, please forgive me, please. I'm so sorry," he would always say that in his sleep, having the same nightmare.

Also... he remembered a time where Itsuki came over, and they talked about dreams and memories. He remembered that Itsuki would tell Yori about these memories that he had, and that he didn't know where they came from. Itsukinever said anything specific about these memories, he would just say that these memories were like they belonged to someone else. Maybe Kaito was right... Maybe Itsuki is trying to hide something, could it be these memories that he talked about? Maybe he didn't want other people to know about them. Could there be something in these memories that he didn't want other people to know?

"Yori," Kaito began whispering again, "I want you to be careful.."

"Be careful? Why?" Yori asked in a whisper.

"You may not know the real him... He could get you into trouble..."

"Trouble...?"

"He could turn on you..." Kaito said. "We don't know the real Itsuki. He could be completely opposite for all we know. He could be evil..."

Evil? Itsuki maybe lying about who he is, and maybe keeping secrets, possibly dark ones, but he couldn't be evil. He wouldn't turn on them. But Yori didn't say this, he just nodded. As Yori looked, again, Itsuki moved away when the twins came nears, keeping a distance.

"If you find out anything, tell me." Kaito then walked off to prevent Bushido and Negato from killing each other. Yori stared at Itsuki, watching him. He kept wondering why Itsuki is trying to hide something, he never had anything to hide, at least that's what that's what he always thought.

"Onii-chan? What's wrong?" Aoi asked as she walked up to him.

"It's nothing." Yori answered, shaking his head a little. Aoi shrugged and went back to playing with Meiko and Miku. They continued playing with the children until it was almost sunset. Aoi and Itsuki walked out ahead of Yori.

"Yori, remember what I said." Kaito whispered as Yori left.

"Okay Yori, are we going to visit the other kids next~?" Aoi asked. Yori nodded.

"Other kids?" Itsuki slightly cocked his head.

"Oh yeah, you never meet them, have you?" Yori looked at Itsuki. "Well, I guess it would be okay if we bring you along." He said then they continued walking. As they continue walking down the halls, Yori watched Itsuki in the corner of his eyes. Itsuki kept looking around, staying in the back. He didn't really have a happy face, the face he would usually wear, it looked like he was nervous or worried, maybe scarred. Yori didn't say anything, he kept continue on his way to the three children's room. Yori opened the door and Aoi went in ahead of them. Yori was about to walk in until he looked back and saw Itsuki hesitating. He never really got nervous or anything like that, unless he was doing a presentation or talking in front of a large crowd.

"What's wrong?" Yori asked.

"I-It's nothing..." Itsuki said, apparently lying.

"Are you sure, Itsuki...?"

Itsuki shook his head, "No, I'm fine." Yori just let it go and went inside the room. Kiyoko, Masaru, and Yuki were all sitting down together on the floor with Aoi smiling.

"Hello guys." Yori greeted as he and Itsuki walked in.

"Hello Yo-" Kiyoko's smile dropped and eyes widen; Masaru and Yuki did the same. Yori didn't understand what was wrong. He went over and sat in front of them. They seemed dazed.

"Guys... What's wrong...?" Yori asked, then he saw Yuki moved behind Masaru, terrified.

Was it him? What was wrong? Kiyoko slowly stood up, continuing with her stare of shock, grief, anger, and maybe terrified. Yori then realized that the gazed wasn't on him... it was on Itsuki. Yori looked over at Itsuki's face, and noticed that it changed. It was completely different, he never seen Itsuki like this. His eyes gazed back at Kiyoko, meeting her eyes... His eyes, they... they were... were full of sorrow... miserable miserable sorrow... Somehow... for some strange reason, it was like, Yori seen that look somewhere... He didn't where but he seen that look, it was extremely familiar... Where? Yori looked over at Aoi, who was also confused. The room was completely silent. Kiyoko began to tremble. From sadness? Frustration? Furry? All of those? You can see in her eyes that she was fighting back tears. A whisper broke the silence.

"...Kiyoko... I'm so sorry..." Itsuki gently said in a whisper that could barely be heard. Kiyoko stopped trembling. Her head was lowered and she began tightly clutching her fists. Suddenly, Kiyoko charged at Itsuki, tackling; they both fell to the ground. Kiyoko sat ontop of Itsuki, pinning him down, her cold hands wrapped tightly around his throat.

"WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY? WHY?" Kiyoko screamed, her red tears streaming down her cheeks, falling down onto Itsuki's face. Itsuki didn't even try to push her off or make her release her grip around his throat... he just continued staring at her with those sad eyes. Yori and Aoi ran over to try to help him, but Masaru and Yuki strongly held them back.

"Kiyoko... I'm sorry..." Itsuki said, he was getting little air.

"WHY?" Kiyoko just kept repeating.

"I know what I did was unforgivable Kiyoko..." he continued. "I'm so sorry..." More tears began to stream down. Kiyoko released one hand, but only to sting-fully slap Itsuki with it, then it returned to it's place around his throat.

"WHY?" she slapped him again.

"...I'm sorry, Kiyoko..." Itsuki said again, then he paused for a few moments. He continued, but what he said shocked Yori and Aoi. "...I diserve to die... Kill me if you wish... If it would make you feel better... go ahead, I wouldn't blame you... I deserve it..."

What? Why was Itsuki saying this? Why was Kiyoko furious at him? What is he talking about? He never seen Kiyoko like this! He feelings are more deeper and worse then when he first met her! Also, Yori thought that Itsuki never met her before, how did he know her name before introduced? What was going on? Yori and Aoi were struggling to help Itsuki out.

Kiyoko slapped him one more time and her grip around his throat tightened increasingly. Itsuki just continue to stare at her with sad eyes.

"Why...?" Kiyoko's voice lowered. "Why...? Why Jochen...? Why...?"

Jochen... Why does that seem familiar...? Jochen... Why was she calling Itsuki Jochen...? Jochen... Wait, that face... that sad, familiar face that's on Itsuki's right now, is exactly like Jochen's! Now Yori remembers, Jochen, the scientist that was friends with Kiyoko, Masaru, and Yuki long ago... the scientist that left them to suffer on that day they became immortal. Yori remembered this all, from that vision he had when he grabbed onto Kiyoko's scarred arm. But why was he calling Itsuki that scientist name? Yori thought for a moment. Now that he thinks of it... Jochen and Itsuki... they look very similar... verysimilar... The only difference is that Itsuki's eyes are light brown, and Jochen's are hazel. But the similarities are... striking... Also, Itsuki's dreams, his sleep talk, his memories that he said didn't seem to belong to him... they all seem to be related to Jochen... And what's happening right now? What does this mean? Is he... the reincarnation of Jochen? Yori would try to deny it... but it would all make sense... and obviously, it's true... Itsuki must be- no, Itsuki is the reincarnation of Jochen.

"Kiyoko... I'm so sorry... I know that isn't good enough for what I did... but... that's all I can do..." Itsuki said in a whisper. Kiyoko's grip only tightened.

"I TRUSTED YOU!" Her voice went back to screaming. "YOU JUST LEFT US THERE! YOU-YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN TO US! AND BECAUSE OF THIS, WE WENT THROUGH A LIVING HELL, AND WE'RE STILL LIVING IN IT! AND YOU DIDN'T CARE AND STILL DON'T CARE! YOU KNEW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN! I TRUSTED YOU!" she sobbed.

"I know... You guys should have never went through that... I should have stopped it... Kiyoko, I'm sorry... I'm so sorry... If I can go back to the past and change... I would..." Itsuki lifted his hands to her cheeks and gently began wiping her blood tears. "I wish I can..."

Finally, Itsuki began to get light headed, he couldn't breath now, he was gasping for air. Itsuki began to panic and started to struggle, even though he said he didn't care what Kiyoko would do to him, it was just natural instinct. Yori finally got free of Masaru's grip and ran over to pull Kiyoko off of him. Kiyoko wouldn't budge for a moment, but then Yori pried her off made her back away and continued to hold her back; she still tried to attack Itsuki. Itsuki began to take deep breaths and sat up. There were marks that were clearly visible on his neck. His breathing began to regulate and he looked back at Yori and Kiyoko. Yori stared at him for a moment, then spoke.

"Itsuki... You're Jochen's reincarnation, aren't you?" He asked. Itsuki shamefully looked away... it was confirmed.
