Me: I'm back baby! Sorry for the umm, delay. Would you guys honestly believe me if I were to say that I completely forgot about my account until I came across one of my own stories? I won't be able to update as frequently but I will when I can.
~Star's POV~
My eyes felt heavy, but comfortably so. My dreams were all mashed up together in my head from sleeping so long, it was amazing that I could remember them all. I could hear voices around me. Yelling . . . panicking. I didn't want to open my eyes. I just wanted to stay there. Lying with a warm blanket around me. But I knew that I probably should.
I forced my eyelids open. Looking up to see Yusei on the bed with his head bowed. He wasn't looking at me. Instead he stared at his palms. I looked over to see Crow and Aki arguing over something.
"What else are we gonna do? They might know what's wrong with her and help stop her from fainting all the time!"
"We're not letting her go to some Psychic Doctor! Her memories will come on their own, we should just wait!"
"If we keep waiting she might never wake up!"
I stopped listening on their conversation, glancing back to Yusei who still wasn't looking at me. I reached out, touching him on the arm. He jumped, turning to me with a look of surprise evident on his face. Before I knew it, I was in his arms. He was shaking from what I could only guess was relief.
"Are you okay?" He asked in a broken whisper. I smiled, hugging him back with what little strength I had left in my tired body.
"I'm fine. You know all this worrying isn't very manly of you Yusei," I teased, my arms losing their strength and falling by my side. Yusei pulled back and looked at me with a raised eyebrow. I could see the amusement in his eyes at my antics as the tip of his lips rose into a secret smile.
He leaned forward, breathing in deeply as he buried his nose in my hair. "I'll show you just how manly I am tonight," He whispered in a deeper voice then usual. I shivered at the implication of his words.
"What do you think, Yusei?" I looked over at Aki who was staring at me intently. Her worried look reminded me much like a mother's would be. Kind and tough with a hint of sadness.
Yusei turned his head from me to Aki to Crow, who was seething in the background. "I think it should be Star's decision." He looked back at me with such an intensity that it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. "I mean, it's her memories, and her choice on whether or not she thinks its too dangerous." He shook his head, moving his stay bangs over his eyes and crossing his arms, "I will support her no matter what."
I smiled and leaned on his shoulder. He unlatched his arms and pulled me closer so that I was partially on his lap with his chin on my head. I thought about his words, trying to find the reason why I was so lucky to have Yusei.
Aki then turned to me, pushing her bangs aside, allowing me to see the bags under her eyes. It looked like she hadn't slept for days.
"Star, while you were asleep we were coming up with ways that may stop your sudden flashbacks. One option is to keep you from remembering anything, to which we all agreed never to do without your permission. Another is to let your memories come back to you naturally, like we have been doing. But I'm worried that the stress of them just randomly happening would harm you more then it would help." She sighed, obviously not happy with what's been going on the last few days. "The last option is to take you to see a Psychic Doctor. Specifically mine. Although they don't usually deal with memories, they can travel through your mind and help you remember all at once."
"You forgot to mention that they are, um I don't know, crazy!" Crow stepped in, "They can be completely manipulative! Especially if you allow them in your mind. Aki has the strength and power to fight her doctor off if she needs to, but I'm worried about the state that you're in." He raised his hands defensively, "Not that I'm saying you're weak-minded, I'm just saying that it might be easier for him to control you because your memories are gone!"
My heart sank. I really wanted my memories back, but at the same time I felt like it was best not to remember. Some things . . . . I just knew that some bad things had happened to me before. I didn't know if I wanted to remember them.
Then there was the fear of losing Yusei. If I gained my previous memories, would I lose my current ones? It was a scary thought.
"I. . . would like to think about it." My voice finally spoke up. This wasn't something I could just decide to do immediately. I wanted to talk to Yusei about it and everyone else if I could. Right now though, I was just too tired to do anything.
Aki nodded before straightening up to leave. Crow looked angry but sighed and turned to leave as well. Yusei let out a breath, causing me to fall into his chest even more before he pulled me in tighter.
I shook my head at myself and closed my eyes once more.
"You OK?" he asked again, more lazily this time.
"Not really . . . ." I answered truthfully.
"It'll get easier." His voice was filled with such confidence that I couldn't match right now.
"Maybe . . . .hey, do
you think I should go see the doctor?"
"Serious answer or a funnier one?"
I laughed despite myself, "Both."
"Seriously I don't think you should go. Your memories will come back and I believe that you're strong enough to handle that." He started running his fingers through my hair, gently pulling out some of the knots and smoothing them over. "But, if you do go I will understand. But I want to be there . . .and Aki. She might be able to help with the whole Psychic thing."
I sighed, feeling each knot untangle, amazed at how clever and gentle Yusei was with his fingers. "And the funny answer?"
Yusei stopped what he was doing and pulled my chin up so that my face was meeting his. His lips came down on mine, with him biting the edges of my mouth and me doing all I could to kiss back. "All this talk of a doctor has made me want to play doctor. What do you say, my little patient?"
I giggled, feeling some new-found energy. I raised my arms and pulled Yusei closer, allowing me let my tongue play with his. We were both out of breath when I was done.
"I don't know-" I whispered, moving so that my legs were on either side of his thighs and my chest met his. "You're going to have to find a way to keep me awake, I seem to be falling asleep a lot lately."
I gasped as I felt a stray hand go on my ass and towards the space in-between my legs. I looked at Yusei's face to see him smirking, obviously pleased with himself. "I think I can manage that.
Me: I really hope you guys can forgive me for not putting a sex scene in here, but I will next chapter I promise. I'm not promising anything because I'm still really busy with studying for the SAT and ACT, not to mention I'll probably be getting a job this Summer. Really hope you guys haven't given up on me completely and enjoy the fanfic!
