A/N: This is a short fanfic possibly two chapters if I don't want it to be a oneshot. Hope you like it. As said in the summery it is a flashback of a girlfriend our darling Aaya had when he was in his 1st year of high school. I particularly liked this one, maybe because Aaya is one of my favorite characters. I guess it's his flamboyant personality. Although, I have so many other favorite characters. Like Shigure, Yuki, Hana, Arisa (Uo), Haru, Momiji, (who couldn't love him he's so cuuute…) and well recently I've been a fan of Hatori. Mayu, the school teacher and Shigure's old girlfriend is also a favorite of mine but we don't see much of her in the manga.
Love Lasts Forever
(This takes place in volume four I believe. Yep, just checked, when Shigure and Aaya are looking though their high school yearbook.)
'Gure's POV
"What are you looking at?" asked Tohru who as always had no idea why Yuki and Kyo were angry with Aaya.
"This? It's a photo album of when we were in high school. Look Tori's there too!" Aaya smiled as he looked at the picture of the three of us. I had to say that high school was the best years of our lives. Second year was the best considering Aaya became student body president. Over those years most of the rules were relaxed. Of course, the teachers didn't like it too much but it was great for us three…or more to say me and Aaya; the dynamic trouble causing duo that we were.
"You're from a royal family!" screamed Tohru waking me from my thoughts.
"Duh! He was obviously lying!" shouted Kyo from the other side of the room.
"Auh…the memories," I stated as they all turned their heads to look. "What's even harder to believe is that Aaya was student body president. Remember the class trip incident?"
"Oh…how could I forget," Aaya started. As Yuki asked what happened I tuned it out again. Not that it wasn't a good story. It was quite a hilarious incident but about a month later was Aaya's downfall.
Flashback 10 years back
"I'm sorry Ayame but her memories will have to be erased. There is nothing I can do. We can't trust her," muttered Akito.
"Yes! We can trust her! You can't do this Akito! I love her!" shouted Ayame. "Please don't do it Tori! Please no…no…" tears slipped down the young man's face as Hatori put his hand over her eyes and released her of ever dating Ayame. He hated to do it but there was no denying Akito's wishes. Ayame fell to the floor and sobbed as Shigure rushed over to his side. "If you erase her memories…" stuttered Ayame, "please erase mine as well. I can't live with the pain!"
"I'm sorry Ayame, I cannot do that. We, the cursed must be able to deal with the pain," Akito said in his emotionless voice.
End of flashback
"Shigure, do something about him will you!" Kyo yelled from the doorway. I snapped out of my flashback and stared straight into Aaya's golden eyes.
"I'm sorry I can't do anything besides we're having so much fun!" I cheered.
"Yes that's right we're having fun!" Ayame cheered back. I looked at him sitting there his signature smile on his face. Looking at our old album seemed to have no affect on him. Maybe I'm the only one who couldn't forget her. But maybe he's forcing himself to forget. He had so much with her and Akito had to kill that. He did the same thing with Hatori.
"Ohhh…" Tohru squealed, "Who is that? She looks so much like you Ayame." Aaya's face fell as he saw who she was pointing to. It was a girl standing with Aaya staring taken by surprise by the camera. She was naturally tall, about an inch taller than Aaya then. She had brilliant blonde hair, almost white just like Aaya's. Her eyes were a deep green color and were sparkling into the sunlight. In the picture beside that she had her arm around Aaya and they both looked so happy. "I'm sorry did I say something to upset you?" Tohru apologized to Aaya.
"No," Aaya sighed.
"That's just an old friend of ours," I sighed in the same tone Aaya had used. I remember that day. That was when we first met Kari. She was Aaya's science lab partner, great for him considering he never was good at science. But that day he decided to talk to her after class and me being the mastermind I was followed them and called them from behind.

"Hey Aaya! Kari, right?" Shigure yelled to the two standing by the big oak tree. They turned to see a camera pointed right at them. 'Click' went the camera as it caught the two by surprise. Aaya and Kari chased after Shigure for a while until Aaya was able to pin him down.
"How could you get a shot of me in this hideous outfit!" screamed Aaya. Kari laughed from behind them as Aaya looked back. "No need to worry about you though since you always look great Kari!" Aaya was pulling of his undeniable charm. Kari smiled and linked arms with Aaya after stealing the camera and taking a horrible headshot of Shigure. Together they made their way back to the school doors.
"I see you've been replaced," Hatori said from overhead. He glanced over to the two. "I just hope that he is careful. Finding out the secret could really hurt the girl. And she's such a fragile girl she might not live from the shock of that or of Akito. I don't really want to hurt him by erasing her memories."
Shigure looked up towards Hatori. "Don't worry we should be able to keep an eye on him. But, I'm sure that he wouldn't blame you for his pain if you did erase her memories Har'i."
End of flashback
"Who is she Nii-san?" asked Yuki slowly. This was the chance of a lifetime. Yuki seemed interested, so Ayame had no choice but to tell them.
So as I said maybe not a oneshot. It just seemed to fit better as more than that. But the way it's turning out it might be like four or five chapters. Well if I don't get stuff out for a while blame Tiger (my neighbor Kristen's cat). She slashed me and I bandaged myself using mostly facial cleansing pads and scotch tape. I cant move my wrist all to much and as you all know it's quite hard to type like that.
