Takari love: Please don't sue me.

Detective Kyu: What are you talking about?

Takari love: You'll find out when you read it.

Meg-chan: I hope it's not something TOO extreme, Takari love.

Takari love: (gulped)


Chapter 10: Where Did He Go?

Ryu's POV

'Trust your heart and open your mind.There you'll see what's real and what's not.'

I opened my eyes. 'Man it's so bright in here.' I sat up straight.'Man, what does it mean bytrust your heart and open your mind. There you'll see what's real and what's not.I looked around me. I've got all the tubes on my body. I also saw many get-well cards on the side table.

I tried to stand up but I can't. 'Man, how many days have I been here?'

The nurse did the everyday routine. She checked up on Ryu and saw that Ryu's up. The nurse's said, "Hmm, I see that you're awake. But, you can't get out of bed yet, Mr. Amukasa." The nurse name Cherie said.

'Amukasa? Is that my name?' I thought for a while but I still can't remember anything.

The nurse saw that Ryu is in another world, not literally, so she said loudly, "Mr. Amukasa."

Ryu snapped out of his thought and looked at the nurse with a blank expression. The nurse explained, "You've been in an accident, Mr. Amukasa. You hit your head pretty hard, it's not surprising that you'll lose your memories."

I nodded. "Umm, Miss Cherie…" Ryu started to say but he was cut off by the nurse.

"You can just call me Cherie, okay? Hearing Miss made me feel old." The nurse joked.

Ryu smiled. The nurse is just in her early twenties. "Cherie, what's my name?"

"Your name is Ryu Amukasa." Cherie answered.

"Please, do you know anything else about myself that you could tell me?" Ryu asked desperately.

Cherie shook her head. "Sorry, Ryu. I don't know anything else about you except your name and why you end up here."

"Oh." Ryu said disappointed.

Cherie saw it and told Ryu, "Don't be disappointed though. "You have four friends that always came over and visit you. But I don't know their names."

"It's okay, Cherie." Ryu said.

Cherie smiled and give Ryu his breakfast. "Here, it something. You must be hungry."

And, as if in cue, Ryu's stomach decided to grumble. Ryu told Cherie, "Well, I guess you're right."

Ryu started eating his sandwich. Cherie was about to go out when Ryu said, "Cherie, wait. How many days have I been here?"

"You've been here for three weeks, Ryu." Cherie answered.

Ryu said gratefully, "Thank you, Cherie."

Cherie just nodded and went out of Ryu's room to check on another patient.


Meanwhile, at DDS.

'Argh, why do we suddenly have a stupid training session with Class A?' Kyu thought. 'I should have been at the hospital right now visiting Ryu.'

Class Q and Class A had martial arts training after school together. At the other side of the room, a certain 11 years old boy thought.

'Argh, why do we have to train martial arts anyway?' Kazuma thought. 'Class Q already have their martial arts man. We don't need more than one. By now, I could have already started searching for clues about Ryu's past.'

'Why on earth are we having an extra training session? I could have been doing something more useful like looking for something that might be connected with Ryu's past.' A certain pink haired girl thought. While Meg was lost in her own thoughts, suddenly…BAM, Meg fell to the ground. "Itaii." Meg said, rubbing her hand.

Yuki, a girl from Class A and Meg's training opponent said, "You shouldn't went to another alternate universe when training martial arts, Meg. Your opponent can easily attack you and you're not defending."

"I'll remember that next time, Yuki." Meg said, smiling at Yuki. Yuki sighed and helped Meg on her feet.


Ryu just went back from his short walk at the hospital's park. Then, a few minutes later, a red haired woman in her late twenties came into the room.

"Who are you?" Ryu asked.

"I'm Yurie." The woman said. "I'm your aunt, your mother's sister."

Ryu believed her. Well, he did lose his memories. "So, where are my parents?" Ryu asked.

Yurie answered, "Your parents are died in a fire 12 years ago, Ryu. Since than, you've been under my care."

"Oh," is all Ryu could say.

Yurie sat on the bed next to Ryu. "Ryu, you'll be discharge right now and we'll be going to New York."

"Why are you going overseas?" Ryu asked.

"We lived there, sweetie." Yurie said. "I know you lost your memories so I thought it's better we go back to New York. It mey help you recover some things."

Ryu nodded. "When are we leaving?" Ryu asked.

Yurie answered, "In two hours."

Ryu asked again, "But what about my friends here?" He paused for a while. "Cherie told me that I have four friends here that always visited me. Maybe they'll want to say goodbye to me before I go."

"Sorry, honey, but we can't change the flight."

Ryu just sighed and said, "Alright."


It has been three hours since they trained. After finished ttraining, Kyu, Meg, Kazuma and Kinta met outside the school.

"Geez, I wonder why Mr. Hongou wanted us to have extra training sessions?" Kyu asked.

"Maybe for precaution." Meg said.

"But we already have Kinta. Why'd want to train more?" Kazuma asked, clearly exhausted.

"We can't always depend on Kinta." Meg said.

"Guyz, let's go visit Ryu now?" Kinta suggested. Everyone quickly agreed, especially Kyu.


"Where is he?" Kyu asked. Meg, Kyu, Kazuma and Kinta have already arrived at the hospital and they are now in Ryu's room.

"I don't know." Meg answered. "Maybe he woke up." She said.

"Yeah, that's possible." Kazuma said. "He has been unconscious for about two weeks."

"But I wonder where he went?" Kinta said.

At that time, Cherie came into the room. She saw Kyu, Meg, Kinta and Kazuma and said, "Oh, are you looking for Ryu?"

They turned around and saw Cherie.

Meg said, "Yeah, we're looking for Ryu. Do you know where he went?"

"He has been discharged two ½ hours ago." Cherie said.

"What!" The four Class Q students yelled.

Cherie said while putting her index finger at her lips. "Keep your voices down."

Class Q students said, "Sorry."

"Who discharged him?" Kyu asked.

"I think it was her aunt." Cherie said.

"What does she looked like?" Kazuma asked.

Cherie thought for a while. "Hmm, she has red hair and small chestnut eyes."

"Do you know where they went?" Kyu asked.

"If I'm not mistaken, they're going back to their hometown. Ryu's aunt suggested it. She thought maybe that can help Ryu recovered his memories." Cherie said.

"Thanks." Class Q replied. Before Cherie could say anything, Class Q dashed out of the room.

"You're welcome." Cherie said to the now empty room.


Detective Kyu: (angry) Takari love, where are you?

Meg-chan: (also angry) Takari love, where are you hiding?

Detective Kyu: (still angry) You know I haven't confessed, why'd you made him leave?

Meg-chan: (sighed) I guess she's not here, Kyu.

Detective Kyu: (disappointed) Yeah.

They didn't know that there's something new in the living room. The cactus.

The cactus: Hehehe, I'm glad I always watched how Nanami disguised himself as a cactus. (take off the cactus costume)

Takari love: Hope you like it. Plz send reviews and also I still need your help with the ideas. Thank very much if you can help.
