Sorry it took a while before posting! Because of internet connections! I got big problems at school and slightly my health… I'm sick… te he he he (The real explanation: I was absent for a few days at school because of my sickness.. so I have to catch up to a few activities)
Well then! Now I'm all better! Let's get started!

Chapter 24: It will NEVER End Well
"Momoka!" exclaimed Himeko "You look radiant! Kazuyoshi's a lucky guy!"
"You mean 'your best friend is a lucky guy'?"
"Whatever.."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
After the wedding, after shouting 'Banzai!' they went to the party and celebrated there
Momoka approached Himeko and thought of talking some sense to her
"Hey!"
"Momoka! So how's being a wife feel?"
"I've been just a wife for 3 hours, how can I feel fully experienced if it just 3 hours?"
"Himeko! Momoka! So.. what'dya doin'? You should be celebrating, not sitting there" Kazuyoshi said
"Nothing, just girl talk! And you're not invited"
"C'mon! Atleast let me join in for a little while.."
"Well guys, since you decided to stay with me for a while.. I got a… little… confession.."
"Nandesuka kyuni?" (not too sure about the spelling)
"Well I—"
"You love Yuusuke?!" Momoka got excited
"Baka! Omaye wa baka! Baka!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Someone was walking into the room, it was a lad, not old but a youth, well he is exciting, he was carrying an instrument of sort, a long-necked one
Well he is dressed good, seems he is a visitor, he looks tired, like he is from a journey of a thousand miles (NAKS NAMAN), WELL he doesn't look that good because he was yawning but he is practicing hard for a song, a lovely song, it seems like he is in a band, he gets ready for a certain word, a certain word that proves that he has come back "Kioku"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"What?! You faked your amnesia?! But why, nee-san?"
"Whenever I feel like it, I wanna forget what happened for 3 ½ years, it was the worst thing I have experienced in my life, a past comes back and never stopped nagging me, but you won't stop talking about it, so I faked it, to make you stop"
"Gomene.."
"I didn't felt that, or knew that.. well, at least only we can know about this"
"Yeah, pretend nothing happened! And just continue the act if you feel like it, we're here for you"
"Well since that's around, isn't it time that you perform?"
"Oh yeah, it's time to perform!" Kazuyoshi said "Let's go, Himeko"
"Great!"
Kazuyoshi and Himeko went to the small stage, near the tables and ready their instruments, Hime on the guitar, Kazuyoshi on the drums..
"Umm guys, excuse me.." Momoka said while tapping her glass with the spoon, a wedding tradition "You're here today not only for me and Kazuyoshi's wedding but to listen also to a good song"
"Uhmm.. this song is.. about my past that… I.. hate talking about… seriously… my little brother.. the real 'Switch'.. Masafumi, he… he was.. stabbed by someone just to save a friend.. and I wasn't even there to save him also.. I came in too late.."
Kazuyoshi's mother was already crying, the rest of the guests were feeling very sorry for him, he stopped to remember some of the moments them three have: him, Sawa and Masafumi, about that festival, promising someday they'll be together again..
They were all listening, to a heart-felt story.. no, past
"He was the reason that I became a silent, computer guy.. me and him share the same interest, he made that software I used to use in my laptop to communicate with you guys… I admit I was kinda jealous about him being more successful than me, but that is the a different manner.. now I will play this song for you guys….. Kioku"
(Remember the songs that I background with the chapters? Well here, obviously it's 'Kioku' by The Sketchbook, the song that was used in Switch's past)
Himeko started playing, thought she didn't notice it, there was a surprise waiting behind the door
Boku no jikan ga sugite
Kimi no kisetsu kawatte
Itsuka otona ni natte
"Ima" wo tebanashita tte
Passing through my time,
your season changed
One day we will become adults
yet in the "present" our hands are separated
Yuusuke entered the room with the base and is singing, the exact words, and is happy, being seen in the damn face of his, everyone was glad he came, well except those who didn't knew him..
Miru koto ya kiku koto ga
Fukanouda toshite mo
Omoidasu koto dake wa
Itsu demo dare de mo
Sugu ni dekiru sa
The things we saw, the things we heard
Even if it's impossible,
always, even someone
can only be able
to remember them
Hime didn't even bother to look and just looked on two things.. the crowd and the chords, to see if it were right…
Mou aenakute mo
Koe ga kikoenakute mo
Kimi no sugata wa itsu de mo
Kiwoku no naka de wa
Itsumo waratte iru yo
Jibun no naka ni "ima" ga arukara
Even if we can't meet,
even if I can't hear your voice,
your figure will always
be in my memories,
always laughing,
because in myself, the "present" exists
Just continued on, Yuusuke tried to look directly at Hime, but she was only smiling to the crowd and didn't even bother to say 'hi' or just smile or just look at him…
Toki ga nagarete ikeba
Keshiki kawatte iku yo
Kisetsu utsurikawareba
Min'na kawatte shimatte
If time flows by,
the sceneries will change
If the seasons change,
everyone will change...
Kioku toyuu shisutemu no
Botan oshite miyou
Yoi koto ya iyana kotoya
Wasurete itakoto
Omoidasukara
Let's try to push the button
of the system known as 'memories'
Since the things we liked, the things we hated,
the things we forgotten,
will come to be remembered
Things were just as normal, nothing happened, but, the awkward aura between high school friends were a bit to imposing…
Kawatte shimatta
Kako no houmotsu de mo
Ano toki to onaji mama de
Me ni mienakute mo
Kotoba todokanakute mo
"Ima" ga arukara
The treasure of the past
changed, but,
it's still like how it was at that time,
even if your eyes can't see it,
even if my words can't reach you,
because the "present" exists
Hito wa benri ni dekite irukara
"Ima" o itsu demo kanji rarerukara
Because humans came as useful,
because I can always feel the "present"
Hime felt her solo, and was rocking it even it was a ballad, she felt her head and soul with the song and ballad –ed solo..
Mou aenakute mo
Koe ga kikoenakute mo
Kimi no sugata wa itsu de mo
Kioku no naka de wa
Itsumo waratte irukara
Jibun no naka ni itsumo zutto kitto
Omoidaseru "ima" ga arukara
Even if we can't meet,
even if I can't hear your voice,
your figure will always
be in my memories,
always laughing,
because in myself, always, surely, definitely,
the "present" that I remember exist
The song ended.. and there were standing ovations.. Hime felt angry at the time, but she didn't want to show it to her friends..
"Hi.."
"Who? Hi— hi me?" Hime asked (Kinda nostalgic huh?)
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Himeko? Hey, Himeko?"
"Nandesuka?!" Hime said, feeling annoyed "I know, good thing you came back, welcome back, yay.. happy?"
"Not even a quick kiss?" asked Yuusuke
"No.. what makes you say that?" asked Hime
"Because we are.. we.. have an 'on' kinda thing?" Yuusuke explained
"Ahh.. sorry.. I didn't even knew that we have an 'on' thing… sorry have an amnesia—WELL ANYWAY! Nice of you to come back!"
"What?! Amnesia?! What happened?"
"Ahh.. that damn Kazuyoshi accidentally tripped and I got involved, it made hit the wall.. hard"
"What?! Did it hurt?!"
"BAKA! OMAYE WA BAKA!" Himeko slightly shouted at him "Of course, it hurt!"
"Gomene.. but.. you really have amnesia? You didn't remember that we had an 'on' thing?"
"What 'on' thing?... Oh yeah! Right! Sorry.. just a little bit screwed in my head.." Himeko said
Himeko left in-front of him, Yuusuke felt very disappointed
Well, this makes me go back to Phase 1.. again…. Damn me..
"Yuusuke!"
"Oh, Swi-! I mean Kazuyoshi.. how are ya doin'?" asked Yuusuke
"Fine, super fine.. you?"
"Almost…"
"I get you, buddy, sorry about Himeko.. it was all clearly my fault… but.."
Yuusuke got his hopes a bit too high…
Nandesuka, Swi-… I mean Kazuyoshi, is there good news somehow?
"At least you're home.."
"IS THAT ALL YOU CAN SAY?!" Yuusuke freaked out
"Clearly yeah.. I can't say anything else, why? Problem?" asked Kazuyoshi "Well at least try to talk to Himeko.."
"That's what I just did…"
"Well, take her to somewhere private.. and try to talk some sensing to her.."
"Alright, I'll try" said Yuusuke, although it confused him a bit at the last part
What did he mean? 'Try to talk some sensing to her'? Well it doesn't matter, just take Himeko to somewhere private.. this is a big pain…
Yuusuke approached Himeko and took her hand with surprise, and dragged her along outside the room and up to the rooftop
"What the hell are you doing? Can't you see I'm talking to someone?! You're so insensitive!"
"I don't care, but tell me, what's bothering you?"
"Bothering me? Nothing's bothering me.. I'm living perfectly fine, no thanks to you.."
"But what about… what happened between us?"
"I'm sorry! But no I don't remember nothing about us…" said Himeko while exiting
"Himeko!" (Well I would like you play HERO by The Sketchbook… But I would like you to skip the instrumental at the beginning) Yuusuke stops Himeko from leaving
Himeko widens her eyes and stopped and stood still, but didn't turned around
"What do you want?" asked Himeko, coldly
"Nothing else.."
"What?!"
"You.. I want you back"
"But if I don't want.. what if I don't remember.."
"Then we'll have to redo it again! No matter what it takes… even if it takes forever!"
"Why are so willing to take the risk, if there's nothing to do about it anymore—"
(First chorus)
"AISHTERU WA!" Yuusuke shouted at him
Himeko was a bit surprised and turned around with the watery eyes about to cry
"Himeko?"
"Gomenasai, Yuusuke.."
Yuusuke leaned in for a hug "Daijoubu.."
"Gomene.."
After the hug, Yuusuke was confused about something
"Tell me, why did you have to do that?" Yuusuke asked "You know I promised 3 years"
"I know that.. but that's not the reason.."
"What?"
"I just want no more people telling me, reminding me of the past.. what happened in my life so I went ahead to make numerous things to make me forget.. but there's always a way for many people spitting it out.. so the last thing in my mind was to end it all.."
"Suicide?"
"BAKA! Why would I think suicide?! You PIECE OF CRAP!"
Yuusuke chuckled
"Well… then Momoka invited me to small vacation trip at the beach… then the accident came.. I—"
"You faked your amnesia to forget all the things.."
"I don't wanna be affected anymore.. people kept their shitty mouths shut"
"You really have a way of saying things.." said Yuusuke "If only I was there, I could've protect you.."
"Huh… good thing you were in America.. again"
"Well I missed you.."
"Not me… it was just 3 years.." said Himeko "And besides.. there are still a lot to wait for, than you.."
Yuusuke chuckled at thought, but he felt he is very a small matter
"The way you talk hurts me, Himeko.."
"Oh really? I recall you doing the same.."
"When?"
"BAKA!" said Himeko "Seriously, what kind of friend are you?!"
"FRIEND? Or something else?"
"What? Oh.. yeah.. something else.."
"Sorry, just carried away by the whole amnesia thing.." Himeko said while Yuusuke was pulling her in for a kiss
And that's what happened…
It lasted for about 5 seconds… and they broke apart, Himeko can see a smile on Yuusuke's face and it made her smile
"Suppose your happy now?" asked Himeko
"Very.."
A/N:
