-Twilight Memories is seen building a rather large barrier in front of her-

Uh... Hi everyone... I'm back with another chapter... Now, to let all you reviewers know I'm going to be hiding from some of you. It will only be for at least this chapter and maybe a few more. If you must know why, it's because of Richard and Sherry.

Sherry: Why are you making me fall in love with him!

-Brago says nothing but gives evil glares and nods head in agreement-

Me: Because it's apart of this here plot of mine -holds out paper that says "plot"-

-Sherry and Brago give a grab for it, but miss asI pull it away. They growl at me with irritation-

Brago: Give me the paper and nobody gets hurt...

Me: Eh... yeah. Well, that's how it is on my end. -gulp- Enjoy the chapter! -goes into hiding-

Come Back To Me

Chapter 3

Where Are You?

Why am I doing this again? Why am I going out with somebody I just met? Why didn't I say no? Brago, I'm sorry…

Sherry was standing in a line next to Richard. They were at the movie theater, waiting in the long lines. The blonde shifted her weight onto her other foot and gave an uneasy sigh.

Turning his head, Richard looked over to where Sherry was. "You alright?" He then stopped talking when he received an aggravated glare from the blonde.

The two moved up a little more in the line. After a few more minutes, they reached the booth and bought their popcorn and drinks. They then headed towards where the movie would be showing.

When the two finally reached the room with the large movie screen, Richard scanned the room. "Which seats do you want?" he asked.

"I don't care."

Richard gave a roll of his eyes. "Well that's a lot of help…" he said sarcastically. Turning around, he headed up the small pile of steps with Sherry walking behind him. The brunette walked up to the fifth row and stopped to allow Sherry to walk in the row. When she walked in he soon followed. They sat down in the middle of the row.

"Well, aren't these nice, comfy seats?" Richard turned his head to face Sherry.

"I've sat in better."

The man gave a laugh. "Yeah, I have too." He grabbed a few pieces of popcorn and tossed them in his mouth. He turned his attention to the movie which was had just started.

Sherry felt as if this was the most boring thing in her life. Richard had taken her to a movie that she didn't even want to see. But now, she was going to have to tolerate it. At least it wasn't a romance movie, she hated those… and if it were, she'd of walked right out the door. And besides, those movies reminded her of the loss of Brago.

She continued to stare blankly at the screen as she watched a few characters move about and talk. The movie was taking place in the nearby future, and Sherry was watching two of the characters bicker over something.

The blonde gave a sigh. How boring this was, why couldn't Richard have chosen a better movie? Oh well, it would only last an hour and thirty minutes…

Richard looked over at Sherry's face. She didn't notice him watching her. He gave a smile, and turned his attention back to the movie.

o-o-o-o-o-

His feet were quickly walking past one another. Brago was so focused on what he was thinking about, he didn't even notice the loud clapping of his boots stepping onto the hard ground.

I'm coming for you; I'm going to see you soon. Be patient, I'll be there soon. Perhaps it will be sometime today or early tomorrow morning. You can wait just a little while longer, so hold on… I'll be there for you…

Brago continued to almost sprint as he walked along the streets of his world. He pushed a mamodo aside as they were in his way. He could barely hear the shouts of the mamodo as he continued to walk even faster.

"Watch where you're going!" He could hear them shout back at him.

But he paid no heed to what they were saying. He had to find Zatch, only he could help him. But how would he ask him what he needed? Brago couldn't just walk up to him and say, "Hey Zatch, think you could do me a favor and send me to the human world so I can be with Sherry?" That would be so out of character for him…

Unfortunately, there wasn't much he could do. Somehow he had to ask Zatch the question; he had to ask him if he knew of a way to let him back. He couldn't stand it any longer. Brago was tired of being so lonely all the time, he was tired of not knowing what to do. He wanted Sherry, and he wanted her now.

It's been four long years, but finally I will be able to come back. Sherry, hold on… I'll be there for you soon.

o-o-o-o-o-

The movie was getting even more boring as it continued. Every second that passed by, Sherry could feel herself becoming sleepy. She took a sip of her coke to try and waken her up. But that didn't help.

Richard turned his head over to where the blonde was. Apparently she wasn't enjoying the movie. But what could he do to make her enjoy it more?

A smile then grew on his face, and he stared into Sherry's eyes. He whispered her name, which caught her attention. And just as she turned her head in response, Richard leaned forward and kissed the girl on the lips.

It caught her by surprise, and the man ended it quickly. She quickly turned her head away as a blush crept upon her features.

What was happening to her? Why was she suddenly starting to have feelings for Richard? She just met him yesterday!

Sherry's breaths became unbalanced for a moment, and then she regained control. She stared wide eyed at the screen, and thought about what Richard just did.

Richard gave another smile as he saw Sherry's reaction. She'll get used to it, he thought. His attention then turned back to the movie.

Sherry's mind raced. He just kissed her, but why? Why did she accept it?

Because you love him now… came the voice again. You now belong to Richard. Just forget about Brago, and face reality. He's not coming back… he'll never come back for you; it's been four years now. He's forgotten all about you, Sherry… You belong with Richard now…

The young girl closed her eyes and listened to the thoughts. Yes, she thought. It was time to move on. It had been four long years since Brago returned back to his world. The young girl then rested her head on Richard's shoulders, whom only smiled even more.

o-o-o-o-o-

"Where are you, Zatch?"

Brago mumbled to himself as he ran about the towns of the mamodo world. It was hard to find Zatch at this time of day. In the early afternoons the young king would be spotted among the most random of random places, so it was impossible to predict where he'd be next.

The dark mamodo gave an irritated grumble as he strode through the town. He then spotted a mamodo swimming through a stream nearby, and he walked up closer to see who it was.

When he noticed it wasn't Zatch Bell, he gave a grumble and continued along his way. If only it wasn't so difficult to find that mamodo, he'd probably be back in the human world by now.

Five minutes passed, and still the dark mamodo had no luck finding the lightning mamodo. Soon five more minutes passed, and then ten, and twenty. This was really getting annoying…

After about another five more minutes of walking, Brago stopped to think about where the blonde might be. He sat down under the shade of a nearby tree, and he crossed his arms. His head then turned around when he heard the call of his name.

"Hey, Brago! Now what are you doing?"

Brago tilted his head upwards to look in the branches of the large tree. Above him in the depths of the branches, was Zatch Bell.

The blonde mamodo was hanging upside down, and he was holding onto two strange fruits. He gave a laugh, and then dropped one of the fruits by accident. The fruit fell through the air and landed on Brago's head.

He gave an aggravated growl and stared up at the lightning mamodo. "Watch where you're throwing your junk." Zatch had just dropped a fruit which had the hardness of a solid rock, and those fruits were very common in the mamodo world.

The other mamodo gave a laugh. "Sorry. And— hey! I didn't throw it!" He gave a pout, and ended up accidentally dropping the other fruit, which also landed on Brago's head.

Standing up, Brago gave glares at the mamodo above him. "If you weren't king, you'd be in for it right now."

"In for what?" Zatch looked curiously down at the dark mamodo before him. "Is that some sort of riddle?" He then hopped down from the tree and stared up at Brago. "You come up with the strangest games."

Brago's eyes became pure white as he stared angrily down at the lightning mamodo and crossed his arms. "You're too naïve."

The blonde mamodo just ignored the darker one and shrugged. He then sat down onto the shady grass, and looked up at Brago. "So, what were you dong, anyways?"

Eyes widening, the dark mamodo remembered why he had been searching for Zatch. He looked down at the blonde with an illegible expression. "I want to ask you something."

Small head tilting to the side, Zatch gave an inquiring look. "What is it?"

The dark mamodo sat down, staring at the grassy floor beneath him. How was he going to ask this? It was too difficult for him… and he didn't want to look stupid, either.

The two sat in silence for a minute. Zatch Bell wondered what could be wrong, and Brago just continued to think. Finally, a minute passed, and Brago looked up at the king before him. "You can't tell anyone about what I'm going to say, alright? And I when I say nobody, I mean it. And I don't even want you to talk about it."

The other just nodded his head, still thinking about what could be on Brago's mind. "Alright, what is it?"

Red orbs returning to their eyes, Brago stared intently at Zatch. "You have to send me back to the human world."

Zatch stared curiously at Brago. His head tilted even more to the side, almost making him fall over. "The human world? How come? Don't you like it here?"

But he didn't answer Zatch's question, he simply just stared at the ground. He gave a sigh, and shook his head. "I can't explain it, just send me back."

"I have to know why you want to be sent back before I send you." Zatch looked at the dark mamodo. Why was he so stubborn? Why wasn't he speaking? The lightning mamodo thought of a few questions, but couldn't think of an answer. Then, an idea sparked up inside his mind. A grin took place on the boy's face, and he stared up at Brago. "Is it Sherry?"

Hearing the name of his love from the younger mamodo's mouth caught Brago off guard. He jerked his head up, and stared at Zatch with a strange expression.

"Aha!" Zatch Bell gave a laugh as he watched the other's expressions change. "I was right!" He stood up on his feet and gave a happy jump. "You want to go back to the human world because of Sherr—"

The boy was suddenly stopped by the intrusion of Brago's hand clamping over the boy's mouth. "I told you not to speak of it out loud." the dark mamodo hissed. He removed his hand and gave a glare at the blonde.

"Sorry." The lightning mamodo's face then lit up again, and he began to talk in a whisper. "But it's Sherry, right? The human partner that you were paired up with in the battle for king four years ago, that's her, right?"

Feeling edgy about the topic, Brago simply nodded his head. How stupid he felt, why did he have to be sent back? If he had won the battle, he wouldn't even be having this conversation. Nonetheless be in the mamodo world!

The young king gave a smile, and set his hands on his hips. "Well," he began. "I'm sure I can get you back to the other world. But…" he started to trail off. "Since there is no battle going on, I'm not giving you you're book. You'll be unable to use your powers, so I'm just giving you a fair warning about that."

The dark mamodo nodded his head. Zatch started to think about a few things, and he turned his back and started mumbling to himself. Brago turned his head up to look at the sky.

Sherry… I'm coming back…

His attention was then focused back to the younger mamodo. Brago looked down at Zatch, trying not to show any signs of eagerness.

"OK, just give me a minute…" Zatch spoke to Brago. He closed his eyes and began to think. After a few more seconds passed, he opened them up again. "I can send you back. Just hold on, I forgot how you do this…"

Brago waited impatiently as the blonde mamodo continued to stall, think, and do whatever his little mind was telling him to do. He gave an annoyed sigh, and stared keenly at Zatch.

Zatch's face then lit up with realization. He looked up at Brago with his golden eyes, and began to speak. "Oh yeah, I just remembered something. You're not allowed to know how I send you back to the human world."

Brago watched with a confused expression as the young mamodo bent down to pick up one of the fruits on the ground. He checked to make sure it had a good, hard surface, and then looked up at the dark mamodo.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Brago started.

Zatch smiled. "Say 'night, night'."

But just before Brago could say anything else, the lightning mamodo hurled the fruit as hard as he could at him.

The last thing he remembered was the piece of hard fruit colliding with his face.

o-o-o-o-o-

A figure lay motionless on the ground in the middle of the forest. He stirred a little, and then opened an eye. He gave a moan of pain as he lifted his hand up to his head.

"Stupid Zatch…" he mumbled. Brago opened he other eye and then started to observe the area he was in. The dark mamodo was no longer in the fields of his mamodo world, but he realized he was in another place. The forests of the human world.

It worked, he thought. I'm back…

Standing up, the dark mamodo looked around and closed his eyes. He could feel the presence of different humans traveling somewhere to the west of him. Then Brago picked something else up… what was it? It certainly wasn't human… but he couldn't tell exactly what or where it was…

Deciding to worry about it later, the mamodo began to walk, starting his search for Sherry. He began to run after a few minutes as he began to recognize his surroundings. It was the forest behind the Belmond's home. After a few more minutes of running, Brago came across the large mansion that Sherry called home.

But he sensed that nobody was there.

So he kept running; he then felt the presence of the blonde haired girl somewhere nearby. He soon entered the town, and a few people stared strangely at the dark figure. Ignoring them, he continued to make his way through the town.

And then he spotted her, but shock fell upon the features of his pale face. And for those who were able to notice it, they would have seen his face become one shade paler.

Sherry, his love, was standing next to somebody else whom had brown hair and eyes. He watched in horror as the girl leaned up to the man and kissed him on the lips.

Filled with shock, fear, and confusion, the dark mamodo looked over in the direction of the rich girl. "SHERRY!"
