A.N: Hi people! Sorry for the slow update! Well, it's because of His and Her Story. I suddenly got the patience to write two fan fics at a time... So what do you all think of His and Her Story? Okok, let's focus on Memories. Rui or Tsukasa? Well, I dunnoe too... gotta see what goes in my mind! The newest vote is... Who will Soujiro end up with? Any suggestions or juz wanna chat with me plz email me! nirumi_haze@hotmail.com

Tsukushi can't think of anything except the warmth that overcomed her. Tsukasa embraced her when the pictures she didn't remember flahed in her head, causing a headache. Yes, she was afraid of Tsukasa and set her mind up on kicking him away.

Instead, she stayed.

His body near hers seemed so natural, so warm. Her heart was at peace. She closed her eyes as her headache slowly subsides.

~ Rui ~

Tsukushi immediatly pulled away from Tsukasa's comforting arms. Yes Rui. How can she forget Rui who loves her? Tsukasa frowned. "What's wrong?"

"You're not Rui."

The words from her mouth pierced his heart like knifes. His heart hurts as if fire burnt it. A silent tear made its way down his cheek. But it was too dark for Tsukushi to see it.

"I'm sorry. But... I think I love Rui, but I will still try my best to remember you. I promise." The words came out of her mouth so softly, that Tsukasa didn't quite caught it. But he heard about she will try her best to remember him.

His face lit up a little. His heart release its worries a little.

But not all.

The lift door creaked opened, standing outside was a girl in about her early twenties. "Are you two okay?" She asked, her face crinkled in concern. "Yes, don't worry about that." Tsukushi replied gently. Her heart fluttered when she turned to look at Tsukasa, whoese lips carried a slight smile.

What is this feeling she have? Admiration? Liking? Or... Love? She didn't know. And She didn't want to figure it out.

Makino House

"ONEESAN!!! HANAZAWA-SAN'S HERE!" Tsukushi turned from her book, irritated by Susumu's shouting.

"Susumu! Does it occurs to you that we come from s DECENT family? Shouting is not allowed! I thought you are at least eaducated about that!"

"As if you were educated about it!" Susumu shot back.

Tsukushi walked out of her room and and down the stairs. Rui was seating on the sofa, or to say SLEEPING on the sofa waiting for her.

Tsukushi smiled gently. Rui's face is always angelic no matter what. She sat down next to him and he woke up.

"Oh... Sorry, I fell asleep." Rui let out a big sleeply yawn while rubbing at his eyes. Tsukushi laughed out softly, "Well, that means our sofa is made of good quality! Thanks for testing it out!"

Rui smiled a little. "It looks like you're better already." "Yeah. It's just that I still got headaches. But Susumu says I can recover as fast as a beast. Well, I almost killed him for that sentence."

Their eyes met and they both let out their laughters at the same time.

Tsukushi felt comfortable with Rui, more then with Tsukasa. Yet she can't forget the way Tsukasa pull her into his arms.

His scent. His warmth and his gentleness.

She knew she couldn't tell Rui about the date. She don't want Rui to worry for her anymore. She don't want Rui to be sad anymore.

"Well, should we get out of here and take a walk somewhere?" Rui suggested. "Or do you prefer that I continue testing your sofa's quality?" Tsukushi giggled. "Why don't you do both at the same time?"

"Only professionals can do that dumb. Let's go." Rui held out his hand with a gentle smile on his handsome face. Tsukushi smiled back and took it.

Together, they went out of the house.

A.N: the first part of the chapter is quite bad actually... Maybe because my headache's killing all my brain cells! Plz review!
