Yolie walked into her room and quickly locked the door behind her. She didn't want to be bothered by her sisters today. She just had too much on her mind. Taking off her backpack she opened it and pulled out a purple cape. It was the Kaiser's cape. Flopping onto her bed she held it close to her. Looking up at the ceiling all she could think about was Ken and their meeting the night before. It was so strange the way he had acted towards her. In fact it was strange for her to be acting that way towards anyone. She had never cried that hard before, in front of anyone but her family. She had never told any of her friends what had happened those many years ago. The recollection was too painful. She had not thought about her long lost friend in such a long time but now as memories of their times together were reawakened she could feel the old pain resurfacing.

* How did this all happen? How could I have acted that way? I never told anyone about him or how I felt before. None of my friends know about my past, yet I tell my ENEMY! Oh there is definitely something wrong with me. But wait, how did he get that necklace though? And why did he call me Li-chan? *

Getting up off of the bed Yolie walked to her closet. Taking a chair, she stood atop of it and took out a grayish box from the top shelf. The box looked worn out by time and dust was coating it. Placing it down on the floor, she sat beside it. Hesitantly she looked at the box, unsure of what to do next. With a deep breath she lifted the lid. Inside the box was an assortment of items. There were many photos found inside the box, along with little pictures and little mementos. With shaky hands she took the stack of photographs and slowly looked over them. As each image passed by her eyes started to feel watery even with the pictures with quite comical scenes, the feeling building up inside of her would not stop, and before she was half way through them the damn of emotions burst, as tears flowed down her face. As she dug deeper into the box more memories began to surface. Some were of happy times, yet others invoked so much pain. She knew that she shouldn't be torturing herself like this but she just couldn't help it. Something was telling her that she needed to remember, and that she must not forget about him.

Taking out a picture she laughed at the childish drawing. She had totally forgotten about it. She remembers well the events that had occurred around it. As she leaned back towards the bed she looked out of the window as memories started to wash over her…

It was a wonderful sunny day out. The Sun was shining bright, the birds were singing merrily to each other, and the wind danced with the trees. Yolie was walking happily down the street, making sure not to step on the lines of the sidewalk. A smile was plastered on her face as she happily went along. She was heading over to Kotuku's apartment so the two could walk to school together, as was their routine. Today was a little different though.

Yolie was so concentrated on looking a t the lines of the sidewalk she didn't notice the person the soon collided with her.

" Watch kid!" The boy said to Yolie.

" Hey! I wasn't the one running into people!" Yolie angrily answered back as she got up from the ground. Taking a closer look at the person, she soon regretted what she just said. There standing in front of her was Takumi, her school's bully. He was tall for his tall for his age, and slightly bulky. He was well known among the kids in her class as a bully. He constantly picked on those kids that were smaller than him and he was never without his two cronies, Juro and Taiki. As she dusted herself off and picked her stuff up she realized that today was no exception. There were the other two slightly shorter kids beside Takumi.

Yolie felt something just wasn't right when she look down. " Oh my god, the necklace!" Yolie frantically felt around her neck for it then quickly got down on her knees to search for it.

" Looking for this little girl?" Takumi asked as he dangled a silver necklace with the sign of friendship on it.

" Hey give that back!" Yolie yelled as she got back up. " It's mine!" She tried to reach for it but Takumi quickly took it out of her reach.

" If you want it, come and get it!" He said as he and his two cronies tossed it amongst themselves. This went on for a while until Yolie quickly became tired and broke down and cried.

" Aww is the little bitty girl crying?" Takumi teased. "Boo hoo uff!" When Yolie looked up from his muffled teasing she noticed that he was on the ground and scrunched up into a ball.

" Hey you cant' do that to Takumi!' Taiki said.

" Well I just did moron," Kotuku said. " Now unless you want to be in the same position as he is I suggest you give back the necklace and get out of here. And don't forget to take your little friend over there along with you." Seeing that he meant business the two cronies tossed him the necklace and proceeded to haul their asses, along with Takumi's, out of there. Picking up the necklace Kotuku helped Yolie back up and handed her necklace over to him.

" Thanks K-kun." She said with a wide smile, "You're the best."

" Come on Li-chan," Taking her hand into his, they both started to run, " we have to hurry or we might get to school late."

Later on that day…

Yolie was getting her stuff together again. Class had ended for the day. When she saw a shadow pass over her desk she looked up to see Kotuku there. " Hey K-kun. So what did you draw today?"

" Same old stuff." He said as he showed her his drawing. (It looks like wormmon except a childlike rendition).

" Oh cool." Yolie exclaimed. " What are you going to call it?" She asked, as she looked closer at it. " It kind of looks like a caterpillar to me? Eww those are so gross."

" Don't know." He shrugged. " So what did you draw?" When he saw the drawing he quickly face faulted.

" What?" Yolie asked confused. " What's wrong with it?" Looking at the picture the picture she couldn't see what was the matter with it. (The picture is like a chibi version of Yolie, Kotuku, and Takumi. Yolie is dressed like a princess, Kotuku like a knight, and Takumi like a dragon. On the drawing Kotuku is standing triumphantly over a the slain dragon as the princess is cheering in the side line.)

" Hey Yolie, dinners ready." She heard a voice outside her room say.

" Be right there." She answered. Standing back up again, she placed the picture back into the box. I guess I can sort the rest of these out after dinner she told herself. She walked to her door and unlocked it. Taking one last look back she closed the door and went to eat her dinner.

Author's Notes: Gomen ne minna-chan. I did mean to put this part up awhile ago. It's just that with the end of the end of the marking period (so many test AHHH!!), practices, and having to go to work, I just haven't had much time. Luckily though I'm gonna have a four day weekend coming up so hopefully I'll get the next part out soon. I'd just like to thank everyone that has read my stories and reviewed them. I really appreciate it. Oh and as for the 'song' that I put in the first part of the story, I just made that up. I couldn't think of an appropriate song at the time so I just wrote whatever came to mind. I really wanted to post the first part up and I couldn't remember and songs with the lyrics that I wanted. Well I hope you guys liked this second part. Please don't forget to review. Arigato!!!
