The next day, Anna was released from the hospital with Yoh. She was given a small tube with pills in it, and Yoh was instructed to have her take one every day, in order to prevent her from sliping off into a coma again. Aparently, it was not the fact that she had hurt herself that had effected her so much, it was the shock that had come with what had happened to her before hand.

Yoh walked Anna home, explaining to her as much as he felt that he needed to. He told her where they were going, and made up the story that it was still an Inn, and that she was merely staying there for the time being. He had hoped that she would just forget to ask him about the past, and to his relief, she had.

He tried to smile at her, but visions of the incident not too long ago kept floating into his mind. That it was all his fault, and that she may no lead a full life because of his mistake.

If I had only comforted her, and told her the truth to begin with, she would not even have to believe the lies that I tell her. I wish I could tell her the truth, I wish that somehow we could just start over again, form the beginning, but it is muc too late for that. I just hope that her memory will return soon. Until then Anna, I refuse to make the same mistake twice.

He turned to Anna and gave her an akward smile. She returned it, equally akward, though with a small trace of joy concealed within it. She was inwardly surprised by how familiar Yoh was to her, and how that single memory of him seemed to vanish before she could even grasp it, but it was that memory that made her so happy.

Perhaps, if she tried hard enough, she could make her own memories, new ones, that could make up for the old ones if they were to never return again. After all, if her old life was good, then why was she not able to remember all of it? But she could remember Yoh, and so he must have been there for her through all of her old life. She would rely upon him to be there for her now, to be her guide.

Anna looked over to Yoh again. He smiled simply, but something seemed to be troubling him again. She had seen him like this before, he must have been worried about something. And she knew that it must have been her, Anna,that Yoh was worried about.

She grabbed his hand in an attempt to comfort him, to ease his worry. She had expected that he would pull away, or that his smile would fade, but instead, he looked her straight in the eyes and smiled, a genuine smile.

Maybe my new life will be better than the old one. Too badYoh said that we were just friends back then. I hardly even know him, and yet, I seem to love him now. The way he smiles, a special memory that I will always treasure.

And they walked back to the Inn together, hands intertwinned and eyes fixed on one another. Though it seemed too early to jump to conclusions, at that moment in time, they both needed each other so much more than they thought they did.

It was as though they were both being given a second chance at life, when their old lived had been replaced by new ones. And even if Anna was to regain her memory at that very moment, chances are that she would chose to forget.

They still had a long way to go to get to a happy ending, but as they entered the Inn, it seemed as though it was no longer the place it once was.

She seems so happy for having just gotten out of the hospital. And what about our other friends? How will she accept them? This could be a new beginning for her, but it could also be the end of all of her happy memories forever. What will she do when I finally have to tell her about everything that I have been neglecting, her past, and who she was?

The worries had just begun, especially when they entered the Inn, to find that their happy ending was far from that. And tobegin with, a nightmare was just about to become a reality.And it all started with one name... Hao Asakura.
