Okay, here's the next chapter. I hope you all like it. Ugh! The fire alarm is so freaking annoying! It's a bit hard to think.

Hikaru's POV-

"Okay," she said as the three of us(Did you people forget about Ed?) went on walking together…let me tell you, that was one long walk.

"What were you two up too?" Larissa asked as we were walking. She was raising her eyebrows up and down while she flashed a cheesy grin.

I looked over at her with a bored expression.

"What are you getting at?"

"Oh nothing~" she sang.

My eyebrow twitched slightly. Ed wasn't paying much attention. He looked like that he was thinking.

"You have one perverted mind," I said.

"But that's why you luv me!" she cheered.

"Sadly," I sighed.

Larissa glared at me, then lightly hit my shoulder.

"Hahaha, very funny," she said.

"Yeah, I practice what I say to you in my free time," I said sarcastically.

"Whatever, now back to the subject at hand. What did you and Ed do?"

I stared at her from the corner of my eye, "What do you mean?"

"Did you two-" She put her face to my ear and whispered, "Do it?"

I turned red.

Da fuck? Where'd that come from?

"No!" I yelled.

Larissa was snickering as Ed snapped out of his thoughts.

"Oh really?" she looked at my face.

"Hm...you don't have that heavenly look people get after they had it," she stated.

"Of course I don't! We didn't do anything!"

"Aw poohy," she said snapping her fingers with a disappointed look on her face. "We could of used another scandal."

"Don't use me as your own gossip blog topic," I said. "If you want a topic, write about the new prince on the block."

Larissa thought about it and then something sparked in her eyes. She smirked, "Yes, Timmy will be my next topic."

"Just don't ruin him. He is my little brother now," I warned.

"No prob, but can I borrow Ed and Al?" she asked, giving me puppy-dog eyes.

"Why?"

"Because after tomorrow, everyone will be talking about the two hot, new bodyguards."

"Hot?" Ed questioned, hearing that word again. We both ignored him though.

"I'm pretty sure that they'll be trampled then," I said, thinking.

"Hm, yeah. They're goners. Imma go get my bodyguard!" Larissa yelled running off.

Good thing she had shorts under her dress, because she hand accidentally pushed the skirt part up.

"So I'm hot," said Ed.

"Yup," I said subconsciously. I froze when I realized what I had said. Ed grinned.

"So you think I'm hot," he said teasingly.

I turned my face to the side, away from Ed. My face was red from embarrassment. He stopped walking and turned to me. I walked past him quickly.

"Let's go!" I yelled.

Ed stood there taking in what I said. Then he started running after me. "Tell me!"

"Never!"

I ended up losing Ed, funny way how I lost him…I ended up leaning against the secret entrance to the dungeons, and fell in. But I caught my balance before I tripped over the stairs. I don't need a reminder of what happened earlier and the first time I was here…

"Hm…I might as well check on Jake," I said to myself, going down the stairs.

I'll ask him about what I saw too.

When I got to his cell, no guards were there thankfully, he was still in the same place he was last time I saw him. He looked over at me and watched as I looked up, not wanting to look down.

I should really bring him some rags or something to cover that up.

"Back again I see," Jake said.

I nodded.

"I wanna talk to you," I said.

"Okay, you look awfully nice today," he said.

"Well, there is a ball tomorrow," I said, rolling my eyes. "Now, back to what I was saying."

"Talk," he said.

"Well, I had this…I don't know what to call it…Vision? Dream? Anyways, the faces were blurry, and there was a little boy and girl. The girl called the boy Jake, so that's why I want to talk to you."

Jake looked a little surprised.

"What exactly happened?"

"The girl ran into a pool and came out crying, the boy, being you, gave her a red ribbon and she gave you a kiss on the cheek in return."

Jake was still surprised, but shook his head, and gave me a small smile.

"That isn't a dream. It's a memory."

"A what?"

"Yah! Are you deaf? I said a memory."

"No, I heard you, but how could that be?" I asked confused.

"Your memories as slowly coming back to you. Some things are probably triggering your memories," he replied.

"You need the book in order to see the future…" he muttered. "But that's lost."

"What? And what?"

Jake sighed, "You are one slow person. The little girl you saw, yeah, that was you. You are having visions of your past."

He ignored talking about the other thing he was talking about, but since I couldn't hear that part right, I let it go.

"But how? I don't remember any of that happening near any of my birthdays."

"Exactly, because the memory of that was hidden in your mind somewhere."

"So, what you're saying is that my memories were really lost and that they were replaced with some other memories?"

"I'm pretty sure I said this to you and Billy last time we met."

"No you didn't," I said thinking about what he has told us last time.

"They wiped your memories clean!" he yelled.

I shuddered, remembering how he yelled that.

"You didn't say that they were replaced," I pointed out.

"I thought that it was obvious since you remember something completely different than what actually happened," he pointed out, calmly.

"I-" I couldn't think of anything to say. So I crossed my arms and looked to the side. "So I'm guessing that it's the same situation with Billy."

"You're catching on fast," he said, sarcastically.

"Do you know how many people's minds were changed?" I asked, not knowing how to word this any other way.

"Let's see…most likely the people who were closest to you and the ones that could be caught.

"Oh…" I said sadly, then I remembered something. I snapped my head up at him, and flinched remembering to look up at his face. "What was that scream I heard here before?"

"Oh that?" He made the chains scratch against the wall, making a loud screeching sound that resembled that of a scream.

Sound effect…

"Yeah…that." My eyebrow twitched a bit. I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to think of what to do next. "I should get back."

I started heading to the door, when Jake said, "Be careful Hikaru."

I stopped and said, "Aren't I always?"

I then left, fixing the lock. I walked past all of the cells with more confidence. I stopped in front of the old man's cell and said, "Yo! Old man Azlen!"

"Not…loud-child," he said missing the word 'so'.

"Sorry," I said. "I was just making sure that you were alive."

"I'm st..rong…I won't di..e…that eas…ily."

"That's good, I guess that I should be going then. Very busy today," I said leaving.

"Such a…good…kid," Azlen said, struggling a smile.

I entered the conference room (yeah we have a conference room in the castle), everyone stared at me. There were no princesses or princes in the room.

This must be a private meeting…oops.

"S-Sorry," I said seeing Ed and Al staring at me as well as Rosa. I then shut the door and started heading for my room.

God I feel so stupid.

I grabbed a brown cloak, and put it on. Then I ran out of my room, towards the front doors of the castle.

I should report what I found out to Billy.

I ran to the café, and looked through the window. He wasn't there. I went to his house. He wasn't there. I went to the library and asked if they have seen a boy with blonde hair and gray eyes. They shook their heads. I went running around, but couldn't find him.

God dammit!

I started walking because the street I was on got crowded. Once I got out of the crowded street, I saw Billy. He was holding two brown bags filled to the top with groceries.

The market! Why didn't I think of that?

"Billy!" I called.

He looked up, seeing me. I went up to him, grabbing one of the bags.

He rose a brow at me and said, "I thought you were at the castle with the others."

"I don't know where they are, and I couldn't stand to be in the castle any longer right now. I embarrassed myself in front of all the bodyguards and my father."

"I see," he said as we started walking.

"I also found out something," I said.

"What?"

"Well, I had this vision and I talked to Jake about it, and it turns out that the vision was of my past."

"And you didn't know that in the first place because…" he trailed off, gesturing for me to answer.

"Because I didn't remember that memory."

"That makes no sense at all."

I took a deep breath and said, "Our memories were wiped. Well, I'm guessing a certain amount though, but the memories that were hidden were replaced with fake ones."

"Really?"

After awhile of explaining all the way to Billy's place, my stomach growled.

"Darn it, I forgot to eat lunch," I cursed.

"If you eat lunch here then, you'll have to cook ," Billy said.

"Lazy," I muttered.

Review please. =3
