***Disclaimer: I don't own Blue Seed...
Chapter Five
Momiji was flabbergasted when Matsudaira was doing all those tests on her. Millions of things raced through her mind. Before they even did the tests it took awhile for Momiji to actually trust them. Then eventually, she decided she had nothing to loose, because from what she knew, she didn't have anything, only Zahi.
"Now, Momiji tell me what you remember." Mrs. Matsudaira said, getting ready to write it down on a yellow notebook.
"All I remember is being with a friend, and then walking home to see a stranger in my house." She replied. She figured they didn't need to know who she was with, it was her business, not theirs.
"Who's your friend?" She asked.
"That's for me to know." Momiji replied.
"Alright, but remember Momiji I can't help you if you don't trust me enough, and tell me these things." Matsudaira said.
Momiji thought to herself. "Do I really want to tell them about Zahi?" She asked herself, looking at the floor. Her mind was jumbled into a big ball of nothing; it was empty and dark, which was sort of how Kusanagi felt. Momiji shook her head and told herself she wouldn't give into them. "They are strangers, I can't till them." She told herself. But, when she looked up and caught a glimpse of sorrow in Mrs. Matsudaira's eye. She could feel the words coming up her throat and trying to break free from her mouth. She tried not to tell, but with each look it got harder not to.
"Trust me, Momiji." She said softly. "If not for me, please do it for yourself."
Momiji took a deep breath and fidgeted with her hands. "I was with my friend Zahi." She said, finally giving up.
Matsudaira remembered that name. She finally realized that it was the name of the guy Momiji told her before, when she first lost her memory of Kusanagi. Matsudaira assumed the reason of her memory loss was because of Zahi.
"Ok, thank you very much, Momiji. You can go now." Matsudaira said, uneasy.
"Ok, bye." She said and walked away.
Momiji went outside and sat on a chair that overlooked a pond and the opaque sun setting behind the snow covered mountains. She tried so hard to remember them, but she couldn't. Each time she tried, it felt like she was getting a brain freeze. She closed her eyes and tried to clear her mind. But she couldn't. All that stood in the way was Zahi. He was every where. His eyes were the stars that sparkled in the night sky. His smile was brighter then the sun and his hair was smooth as the fluffy clouds that hung low in the summer sky.
Kusanagi watched from a safe distance, so she wouldn't see him. He dazed at her, lovingly, as she sat on that chair looking deep in thought. He couldn't take his eyes off her. He wished he would be the one she dreamed about when she fell asleep, the one to hug and kiss her forever, and to be the one she wouldn't be able to live without. But, that will never happen. She doesn't even know him anymore, she only knows Zahi. And that made his veins boil with fury. He wanted to kill Zahi for each wrongdoing he caused, especially for making Momiji loose her memory about him.
He watched her as she went inside. "Good night, Momiji." He said and then leaned back in his tree.
Momiji sat at her vanity and started to brush her hair. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. She noticed her eyes lost the emerald glow, and her smile faded to a frown. She was lost, she didn't remember anything, she's lucky she could remember her own name. She stopped brushing and just stared at her reflection. She didn't remember herself at all. All she saw was a confused girl staring back at her. She felt as if she was just another nobody searching for an answer. The answer to her future.
She turned out the light and got in bed. She closed her eyes and dreamed of the next time that she would see Zahi.
~*~
Kusanagi slept on the branch, dreaming of Momiji. He wished he could be with her. It would only be right, she's the Kushinada and he's the Kushinada's protector. But he figured she didn't want to be with a monster like him.
Suddenly, he woke up to a loud noise. He squinted as he looked for the source of where the noise was coming from. He extended his blades from his arm and leapt down from the tree. He scanned the area and saw nothing. "Am I losing it?" He asked himself, staring into the total darkness.
Just about when he was about to give up, he heard another noise. He looked up and noticed it was coming from Momiji's room. He took a deep breath and leapt up to the window. He stiffened when saw someone sitting by her bedside. It was Zahi.
