Chapter Four
It was morning, and the sun rose high in the sky, clearing away the darkness that once filled the air. Momiji woke up to the birds chirping their songs joyfully. She realized he was still on the roof, against Kusanagi. She backed away from him, causing him to fall to the ground. He woke up with pain from his head slamming against the ground.
"Ouch!" He said, rubbing his head.
"Oops. I'm sorry." She giggled.
"It's not funny, Momiji." He stated.
Momiji stood up and stretched. She still didn't have her memory back of Kusanagi. She sighed with pain, and climbed down the ladder. She went into Kunikida's office.
"Mr. Kunikida, I'm going to go for a walk around the city. You know, to refresh my mind." She said.
Kunikida looked up from his newspaper. "Alright, Momiji. Just be careful."
"Ok, bye." She said and walked out of the office.
Kusanagi followed Momiji, closely, as she walked down the street. He wasn't going to listen to Kunikida, he knew Zahi was with the Arigami and he wasn't going to change his mind for one minute.
Momiji walked and walked. She tried to clear her mind and tried to remember Kusanagi. But, no such luck. All she found was a blank space in the corner of her mind. Sometimes when she tried to remember Kusanagi, she ended up thinking of Zahi. He was like a drug that she was addicted to. Every time she said his name to herself, shivers ran up and down her spine, making the fine hairs on her neck stand on end. She smiled to herself, as she walked passed the flower stand. The aroma lingered around her and made her smell of the various flowers.
"Momiji…" The wind whispered as it flowed through her hair.
She turned around and no one was behind her. She blinked blankly, and continued to walk.
"Momiji…" It said again.
She turned again, and still no one was behind her. She started to get scared and walked faster. Her heart started to beat heavily in her chest. She felt someone watching her, but she didn't know whom. She began to steady her pace, and eventually went faster and faster. She looked at the ground, not looking where she was going. And soon enough she ran into someone, and she fell onto the ground.
"Ouch!" She shouted after she hit the ground.
"I'm so sorry." A guy said and put out his hand.
She grabbed a hold of it and stood up. She looked at the guy. It was Zahi! Her stomach rattled with butterflies and her heart bet like a drum.
"Don't worry about it." Momiji said shyly.
"So, how about we go out to eat for lunch?" He asked, taking her hand.
"Alright." She agreed and began to walk with him.
Kusanagi crept up behind them, watching his every move. "Don't be stupid Momiji!" He said to himself. He wanted to kill him right then and there, but he couldn't. It was like his heart wouldn't let him.
Momiji and Zahi stopped inside a little café on the corner and sat at a booth, by the window. She was so excited that she finally found the perfect guy, and now she can be with him forever.
"Yes you can." Zahi replied to her thoughts.
"How'd you…?" She questioned.
"How did I know what? Read your mind?" he replied.
"A little secret." He answered. "But I will tell you it, if you stay with me forever."
Momiji's eyes widened. He was moving to fast for her, and he was asking her so much.
"I'll think about." She said, and then looked out the window.
Kusanagi sat in the back of the café, out of her sight. He dreamily dazed at her. He forgot how beautiful she was with the sun's light running through her hair and the way she smiled. Each time she smiled the more and more he wanted her to be with him, in his arms.

Once they were through, Zahi and Momiji went for a walk. Momiji thought about how perfect this was. Perfect guy, perfect friends, and a perfect city. She was lucky, and she knew it. With each step she took, the more she forgot about what she knew of Kusanagi and her friends. Her mind felt as if it was slowly deteriorating, like something was eating her memories away.
"Well, Momiji I'm afraid I have to go." Zahi said.
"Do you really have to go?" She asked.
"Yes, I do. But I promise I'll see you again."
"Alright, I guess I can settle for that." She replied and smiled.
"Till I see you again." He said and kissed her lips.
She started to get lightheaded and her stomach was infested with more butterflies. They broke away from their embrace.
"Goodbye, Momiji." He said and then walked away.
"Bye Zahi." She said and waved.
She started to walk home. Kusanagi walked behind her, kicking up the dirt with his feet. He was heartbroken, and hated himself for not stopping them. He wished he did so he could've attacked Zahi. But it was too late for wishing that.
Momiji arrived home and walked inside. She was surprised to see someone sitting at the kitchen table. She walked in closer to see who it was, but she didn't recognize him.
"Who are you?" She asked.
"Momiji, it's me." He said, and stood up from his chair.
"And your?" She asked.
"Kunikida…" He replied. "You don't know who I am, do you?"
Momiji shook her head. "No, I'm sorry I don't. What are you doing here?" She asked.
"I live here, Momiji." He replied.
"Oh…" She said and leaned up against the wall of the kitchen doorway. "Am I supposed to know you?"
"Yes." He replied and walked closer to her, but she got away from the wall and backed away. "Momiji, what happened to you? Why don't you remember me, or Kusanagi?"
"Kusanagi…" She murmured. "Why does that name sound familiar…?"
"Momiji, sit down and I'm going to get Mrs. Matsudaira to check you."
"Mrs. Matsudaira?" She said.
Kunikida went over to the phone and called her up. Momiji sat down at the table and searched her mind. No where did she recall those names. They were so foreign to her; the only person she could name was Zahi. Everything in her mind was about him. He was an addiction that wouldn't go away. She put her head on the table and closed her eyes. "Where am I?" She asked herself. "And who are these people?" Suddenly everything she ever knew and wanted disappeared, leaving her with nothing. Nothing to wish for, nothing to dream about, nothing at all to remember.
