A/N: Hey! I'M SOOO SORRY for not updating sooner! Wow…it's been soo long that I doubt that the people reading this are the same people that read this the last time I updated…which was um…April 19th, 2004…well…sorry. Actually I had half of the chapter done around July, but just never got around to doing the rest…um…seeing how long It's been, I had to reread the story myself, so I lost most of the inspiration I had at that time, so this chapter isn't going to be that great…sorry for the disappointment…well I'll let you be the judge. Happy reading! -

I must leave.

How could I think of something like that? I have to stay here. It was my fault that she got hurt, so it will be my responsibility to help her recover. If she can not recover, then I will at least have to help her through this time of complete confusion.

He looked up and saw the light of the surgery room go off. He stood up and watched a doctor come out with a semi-smile on his face. "She's at no risk of brain damage. Her only problem is amnesia. Just work along with her, but do not give her too much stress. And do not; I repeat; DO NOT try to make her think of her past. It will just worsen the condition."

Then he saw them push her out of the room. She looked quite peaceful laying there. Why do I have to stay here? She has her mother back; there is no reason to stay, because she does not remember anything. She can just form a new life without me in it, like it was a few months ago. Just this time, she will have a mother, who loves here.

He walked up to his dad and said, "Dad, can I transfer to the all guy school that is across the street from my therapy? That way I could just walk across the street after school for therapy."

"But you've already gotten used to this school haven't you?"

"Yeah, but the only person, who helped me do that, has forgotten me. How could she help me get use to the new environment now? If I stay here any longer, I will just bring more pain to her and all females that I come across."

"Sure I guess, if you want. That will be easier, since I would not have to leave work early."

Aldrick Guy School

"Hey did you see the new guy?"

"Yeah, I heard he came from Serran High School…"

"Isn't that the school with the hottest chicks in the entire city?"

"Yeah. So what would force a guy like him, who looks like he could get any chick he wants with a flick of the finger, to switch to an all-boys school like us? We're not even a popular school or anything."

"Maybe we could ask him later."

The new boy was just leaning against the wall in the hallway, listening to his earphones, not really caring about what other people said. His mind was all on Ches. He wondered how she was doing right now. Just thinking about what happened a few weeks back filled him with guilt. Should I really have just left like that? Should I have stayed and taken care of her for a while longer? He thought. No, slightly shaking his head, this is for the best. He tried stopping himself from thinking of her but it didn't work.

Ding! Ding! Ding! The bell rang, forcing him out of his thoughts. He walked into the class and stood next to the teacher, Ms.Smith, apparently the finest teacher in the entire-school, waiting to be seated. So, a new school huh? He thought.

"Class! We have a newcomer. His name is Akito Hayama. He came from Japan," she informed the class. "Wow that's a long way from here. It's all the way across the world. I heard that you went to Serran before this." She added.

Two Years Later
Akito's American Home

"Akito! There's a letter for you!" Natsumi shouted from downstairs.

"Just leave it there! I'm packing! 'less you're willing to take it up, but I doubt that."

"Darn right I won't! Well, it's from somebody named Mrs. Chang," she noted, "hey, isn't that the same last name as the amnesia girl?"

"What was the name?"

"Chang."

Chang…hm…That's Ches' last name. "But why would her mother send a letter to me?" he spoke to himself.

------

Akito,

I know that I have not responded to your mails that you sent me two years ago regarding Ches'
condition. I'm sorry. But I decided to write to you to tell you that Ches' has recovered from
amnesia and was wondering if she could meet you. Call XXX-XXX-XXXX when you receive
this mail. She really misses you. I hope you can meet up with her. Do not worry. I no longer
hate Japanese people. After all, I am Japanese.

Mrs. Chang

Ches' memory has recovered! Great…! They had to tell me this the day I'm returning Japan. He looked at his watch. "Well, I still have 6 hours. And I'm done packing." He picked up the phone and dialed the number Mrs. Chang had given him. "Hello, Ches?"

Ches' house

Silence.

"Why'd you leave?"

"…"

"You left when I needed you the most. You know how bad that is?"

"Oh."

"What type of reply is that?"

"I'm leaving today – back to Japan."

"! Already?"

"Yes."

"There's a girl still waiting for me there. Remember Sana?"

"Oh yea, the girl Mariko met right?"

"Yes, actually Sana's Mariko's half-sister…"

"Oh…wait……what!"

"Yea, they have the same mother."

"Huh?"

…………(in the process of explaining)

"Oh. I see. Wow, I'm related to a movie star! Well…kinda."

Akito looks at his watch, "Shoot! I have to go! Bye!" Akito started to walk out.

"Wait! Come one…at least a good-bye hug!" she commanded, and then ran into Akito with a huge embrace.

"Gosh…girls can be so troublesome," Akito whispered to himself, but unfortunately Ches heard.

"What!"

"Gotta go, bye!" Akito said as he ran out the door.

Japan

"AKITO!"

Thank you for your support and your patience P… …heh sorry for keeping you waiting again…well…REVIEW! I'm serious….

SANAKURATASANGATSUNANOKO- heh…don't worry, as you can tell, it will be SA. No, I mentioned what her full-name was in chapter 1. I didn't feel like talking about his process of getting better…because that part has not romance in it / well Sana's coming don't worry about that.
