Authors Note- Oog. No reviews. To clear things up, Rin is Rireki. The beginning of the fic takes place just before chappy 106. Instead of Kureno getting her out of the Room, Rin eventually loses her mind, and forgets EVERYTHING. Because of this, the curse leaves her. In my warped mind, you have to know of the curse to keep it. Meaning as long as she doesn't remember, she is free of the curse. The Aso's are mine. Steal and die.
Chapter One
The Best Place to Watch the World End
My name is Rireki. I have been working here, at The End of the World, for the past five years. The End of the World is a bar and restaurant. We specialise in seafood, and just about anything else. You ask, we make. It is owned by Grandfather Aso's son, Sasame. After Grandfather's death, Sasame was kind enough to let me move here, and give me a job. With out the Aso family, I have no idea where I would be.
I have a good life, here in Tokyo. I no longer wish to remember my past life. If I forgot it, there must have been a good reason for it.
We open later than usual on Mondays. But most don't know that, seeing as two people walked in.
Why do they look so familiar to me?
"Sumimasen, but we are not open for about a half an hour! I apologise for the inconvenience."
The man just looked at me. He had a nice look about him. Short, wheat blonde hair, a white t-shirt, with black pants. He smiled at me, before he started running his mouth. "If you aren't open, then why isn't there a sign? Do you like inconveniencing potential customers like this?"
Oh boy.
The girl just put her hand on his shoulder, and he stopped his remarks.
"Is it alright if we stay in here anyways? We can help you set up, if that's alright with you." Now thats more like it. Its rare to have a polite person in here. She's so adorable, like a little kitten.
"That is perfectly fine with me. My name is Rireki. And the two of you are?"
"I am Sohma Kisa. This is my cousin, Sohma Hiro. Pleased to meet you."
With Kisa and Hiro's help, we had the place set up in fifteen minutes. They sat at the bar, as I went to get them something to eat. They are both kind people, but I can't help but think that I know them from somewhere. Especially Hiro.
When I came out with their food, Hiro asked me a question. "Hey, Rireki, right? By any chance, do you know a girl named Isuzu?"
I had to stop to think about that. There are a lot of people that come in here.
"I'm afraid that I do not know her."
Kisa just looked at me, with sadness pouring from her amber eyes. "Isuzu is one of our cousins. She has been missing for almost eleven years now. No one has seen or heard from her in all this time. Here is a picture of her."
What? She looks like ME. Or rather, how I looked when I was younger. Her hair is long, black and straight, where as mine is short, kinda wavy and dark blue. Our eyes are different colors, but that's because I wear colored contacts just for fun.
Could it be, that I am this Isuzu girl?
"Hiro, Kisa, tell me. Did she have a scar on one of her shoulders?"
They looked at me in shock. "How did you know that, Rireki? Yes, she had one on her right shoulder, from being pushed out of a window."
I took off my jacket, and showed them my back. I had on a tank top, so my scar was visible.
Kisa gasped when she saw it. "Isuzu..."
And in the few minutes before opening, the world as I knew it, began to crumble to the ground.
