OHMY! ITSTHESEQUEL! I've been quite bored before finals in classes (mostly computers and religion), so I started writing the first chapter. AND IDEAS ARE FORMING. This installment should be pretty long. At least as long at Nightmare Aura…maybe more. You guys like longer, right? ;D Anyway, thanks for all who reviewed on the last chapter of Lost Memories (and Essenity, I love how you didn't even review the chapter. XD; but that's okay. I like just talking.)

And this sequel is in two parts. So here's part one, which should be about two chapters long.


Part One - Chapter One – Home Videos, Movies, and Telephones

Sho sat on the couch, watching Kei as he rummaged around in the cabinet underneath the TV. "There's still something back there…" he heard Kei mutter to himself.

"I don't think there's anything else in there, Kei. We've been watching all those old tapes for the past month!" Sho told him, rolling his eyes as Kei ignored him and continued to search. He was wearing his new standard red t-shirt and tan leather pants and his hair was barely below his earlobes (he had been getting it cut at Sho's request yet again). Sho, on the other hand, had been slowly highlighting his hair to make it more like Kei's, but it was still in the usual braids tied back with a hair tie. It was much lighter than it had been, but nevertheless, patches of brown always managed to be noticeable through the blonde. He was wearing his standard outfit of a tight black tank top and black leather pants.

It was nearly their five-year anniversary and Sho had absolutely no idea how to celebrate it. Kei had told him that it was his turn to set up their celebration and had refused to listen to Sho's constant pleas for help. Oh well. I'll figure something out sooner or later…even if it is just a few days away. Sho thought.

"Got it!" Kei exclaimed, pulling out a rather dusty videotape. "Wow. Very inconspicuous, Sho-kun." He held up the tape so Sho could read it. In silver sharpie (and in his own handwriting) was written on the top of the tape: 'THIS IS A BLANK TAPE!' Sho grinned, realizing how young and childish he must have been when he had written it.

"Yeah. I'd write something like that. But I don't remember that in particular…" Sho said truthfully. Kei simply shrugged and put it into the VCR, pressing rewind. After a few moments, it began to play. Almost instantly, Sho gasped. "Oh. My. God." Kei hadn't been looking so he looked at what Sho was gasping about and began to laugh.

"Well, we know it definitely isn't blank," Kei said, pausing the tape so they wouldn't miss anything.

"How the hell did my hair ever get like that?" Sho said out loud, for on the screen was a nine-year-old Sho sitting behind the coffee table that his feet were currently resting on. His hair was the same shades of blonde and brown that it used to be; dozens of short braids jutted out from the back of his head. His cerulean eyes were as bright as ever and staring directly at the camera. Being the little brat he was, he was making a stupid face.

"Sho-chan, you're so adorable!" Kei said, moving so he was sitting right next to Sho, who simply made a face at him. "Oh, come on. You can't tell me you're not adorable in this video!" He snaked an arm around Sho's waist before he pressed play…


"Stop making stupid faces!" A voice said from off the screen; Sho stopped immediately. "This is supposed to be a tape of you not being stupid so I can remember you."

"Well, now you can remember how stupid I am!" Sho said, his voice higher than it was now, but it was his voice nonetheless. Kei finally came onscreen and lightly hit him on the top of the head. When the vampire's back was turned, Sho bit down on his lower lip, trying to suppress a grin, but he couldn't help it. His hand automatically reached up to where Kei had hit him on the head and he rubbed it in such a fashion to show that it didn't hurt, but that he loved it whenever Kei touched him on the head. When Kei sat down next to him, he stopped automatically and cleared his throat slightly.

"You're not stupid!" Kei said defiantly.

"And what do you mean by 'remember you'?" Sho asked, ignoring Kei's comment. "…You're not leaving are you?" He sounded quite frantic, as though he couldn't imagine Kei leaving him.

"There may come a time when I will have to leave…and I don't want to forget you," Kei said softly.

"But…Kei," Sho whispered, tears beginning to well in his eyes. "You can't leave!"

"And why not?"

"Because I—" Sho stopped, wondering how to word his sentence without giving his true emotions away. "Because I say so." Kei smiled at Sho's childish answer.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want you to leave!"

"Why?" Kei asked, beginning to mimic what Sho would do when he demanded an answer.

"Because you've been here so long and we've lived together for so long!"

"Two years is a long time?"

"For me it is!" Sho said angrily, becoming annoyed at Kei's constant questioning. "I don't want you to leave ever."

"Why?" Sho was about to scream in rage, but then Kei added, "Just give me a true, clear answer and I'll stop asking why."

"Because I love you," Sho whispered, his eyes welling with tears again. There was an awkward moment between them as Kei stared at Sho, his eyes widening at the boldness of the child. But Sho suddenly threw his arms around Kei's neck and began to cry uncontrollably into his shoulder. Kei wrapped his arms around Sho lovingly, scooping the child into his lap and kissing the top of his head.

"Shh. It's okay, Sho," Kei said quietly in Sho's ear. "Stop crying. Please, Sho." The heartfelt crying slowed down slightly, but stopped altogether when Kei whispered, "I love you, too." Sho's head shot up and he stared at Kei.

"Does that mean you won't leave?" He asked; Kei nodded solemnly. "Promise?"

"I promise."

Sho buried his face in Kei's neck. "Please don't tell Toshi or Shinji about this…" Sho whimpered.

"I won't," Kei promised, staring at the camera with a concerned look in his eyes. "I won't…"


Kei pressed pause and looked at Sho slowly. The vampire had tears in his eyes, but he was smiling warmly when he stared into Kei's brown eyes. "That just proves we're meant to be together," Sho whispered, pressing his lips to Kei's.

"Mmm," Kei moaned softly, letting an arm slip around Sho's neck as Sho pushed his tongue inside of Kei's mouth, pressing himself against Kei.

"You broke your promise!" Sho said a few minutes later when they broke away from their kiss.

"…What promise? Oh."

"You left, Kei-chan! I don't think I can ever forgive you," Sho told him.

"But Sho," Kei said a in a whiny voice. "You can't resist me…" He traced a finger along the edge of Sho's jaw. "I'm too addicting."

"You're going to have to make it up to me."

"Sho—haven't I made it up to you already? …Like…for the past five years?"

"Well…" Sho began to say, but a look from Kei made him grin. "I guess it counts. But the thing I don't get is…why do neither of us remember that?"

"I think it has something to do with the fact that I didn't want to think about you that way because you were only nine and way too innocent and you didn't want to think about me like that because it still seemed gross to you and you figured Shinji and Toshi would make fun of you for loving a 'monster' like me…not to mention another guy," Kei said thoughtfully.

"Yeah. That makes sense…"

"Good. Now can we keep watching this tape?"

"Of course!" Sho said. "But fast-forward it because it'll probably take me a while to calm down so you can go press stop."

"True…" Kei said, pressing play and then fast-forward. As soon as he saw a black screen, he pressed play. "Let's see what else is on here…"


"DON'T BLOW OUT THE CANDLES UNTIL I START RECORDING, YOU IDI—Oh. I am recording," a voice said from off the camera.

"Shinji, you're an idiot," Toshi said. He was sitting at the kitchen table across from Kei. Sho sat at the head of the table, a small pile of presents on his right and a birthday cake in front of him with half of the thirteen candles blown out.

"You're the idiot of the group, Toshi. Don't try to pin it on him!" Sho said, shooting him a glare. He was quite protective of his older brother.

"You take things too seriously, Sho," Kei said softly, catching everyone's attention. After a moment's pause, Toshi suddenly said, "Make a wish, Sho!"

"Yeah. And blow the rest of the candles out," Shinji said. Sho paused for a moment before he blew out the candles.

"What'd you wish for?" Toshi asked. Sho's eyes flickered over to Kei, but no one seemed to notice besides the vampire himself.

"Nothing important," Sho muttered as a response before Shinji stopped recording…


"Can we stop watching these, Kei?" Sho asked softly after the screen had gone blank. "They're too hard for me to watch…"

"Of course," Kei told him, pressing the stop button. He had never realized up until that point that Sho hadn't seen Shinji or Toshi in nearly five years. It had to be heart wrenching to see their faces after so long. Turning off the VCR with the remote, he looked back at Sho, who kept looking around the room, averting his gaze from Kei.

"I still miss them, you know," Sho said, his eyes now concentrated on his hands that were in his lap. "It's hard not to think about them all the time…" Kei got off of the couch and kneeled down in front of Sho, gently placing his hands on top of the younger vampire's. Sho looked at Kei with sad blue eyes.

"I know," Kei said soothingly. "If I would have known they were on this tape, I wouldn't have put it in the VCR in the first place. I'd never want to hurt you." Sho smiled faintly and nodded to say 'thanks'.

"Kei-kun…can you hold me?" Sho asked him in a timid voice. Kei didn't respond, he only sat down next to Sho and held out his arms. Sho smiled gratefully and fell into the warm embrace, resting his head on Kei's shoulder. Kei wrapped one arm around Sho's stomach and his other arm around Sho's shoulder, letting his hand trace through the soft braids.

"It might be better if I laid down," Kei whispered, making Sho smile. Slowly, they both managed to lie down comfortably; Sho moved his head so it was resting on Kei's chest. Kei kissed the top of Sho's head softly. "I love you, Sho," he whispered.

"I love you, too," Sho replied, wrapping his arms around Kei's neck. "If you ever leave me, I don't know what I'd do."

"Me neither…but why would I want to leave you? We're perfect for each other!"

"I know…but you left before…twice."

"But they were both for good reasons! To make you love me more," Kei said defiantly.

"That's your excuse for everything," Sho said into Kei's neck, pressing his lips to the warm skin tenderly.

"Sho-chan…" Kei whispered, catching Sho's attention. "I…" But before he finished his sentence, Sho leaned upwards and pressed his lips to Kei's. Kei raised a hand to place it on the back of Sho's head. Before he could take the innocent kiss any farther, Sho pulled away and smiled.

"Are my lips still—"

"Petal soft?" Kei finished. "I wouldn't have them any other way."

"What were you going to say before that?"

"I was just going to tell you how much I love you," Kei told him warmly as the young vampire closed his eyes in tiredness.

"Compliment me more, Kei-chan," Sho mumbled.

"Mmm—that takes too much energy…and I'm too tired," Kei complained.

"Then just hold me forever…" Sho moved upwards slightly so his head was resting in the crook of Kei's neck. "Don't ever stop loving me…I could never stop loving you."

"Sho—you're talking nonsense. I could never stop loving you," Kei whispered furiously. "Please, go to sleep."

"I'm trying to, but you won't stop talking!" Kei hit Sho lightly on the head. "'Night Kei-chan."

"Goodnight, my little darling."

"Oh damn. Not my pet name…" Sho muttered in annoyance.

"Well fine then. I'll just start calling you Sho-san if you don't like it," Kei said.

"Kei, you're being stupid."

"Of course I'm not, Sho-san."

"Keep calling me that and I'll kill you."

"Not if I kill you first, Sho-san."

"DAMMIT, KEI!" Sho suddenly said, sitting up. "You didn't like it when I called you that, so why are you doing it to me?" Kei looked away from Sho's furious face.

"I was just joking, Sho-chan…" Kei said quietly, making sure not to look at Sho. Sho sighed in annoyance, but gently grabbed the blanket off of the back of the couch and threw it over both of them. He curled up next to Kei, purring apologetically. "So now you're a cat?" Kei asked, hesitant to put his arms around Sho again. He nodded. "Keep having these mood swings and I'll take you back to Kurisutina," he threatened, wrapping his arms around his lover.

"But she's dead, isn't she?"

"Yes. If she was still alive—"

"I'd finish her off," Sho said suddenly.

"Violent little vampire, aren't we?" Kei chuckled at his own comment.

"Shut up and kiss me, Kei," Sho said, pulling Kei into a passionate kiss that took his breath away. As Kei's hands slid down to Sho's waist, the phone suddenly rang. Kei made a move to go answer it, but Sho pushed him back into the couch. "Let the machine get it," he said, licking the sensitive part of Kei's neck.

"Aaah—but it could be an emergency!" Kei said, trying to sit up again.

"Let's just listen to the message. There's no way I'm getting up to answer it," Sho told him, making Kei roll his eyes. After several more rings, the answering machine finally picked up.

"K-Kei? Sho?" A sobbing voice said. "I—I need your help—they've…got me surrounded a-and—" The woman on the machine let out a watery sob. "I don't know what to do! He-help me—I'm i-in the park—" The phone was hung up and Kei and Sho stared at each other, wide-eyed.

"Kurisu," they both breathed.

"We have to go help her!" Kei said suddenly.

"I'll go get my guns!" Sho said excitedly, for they hadn't been on a mission in nearly a year.

"I thought you always had your guns with you," Kei said seductively.

"Kei-chan," Sho muttered embarrassedly. But Kei merely smiled and pushed Sho towards their room so he could get his guns together faster.

"We don't want to leave her in peril for too long…" Kei commented as he waited for Sho to appear.

"Shut up! I'm going as fast as I can!" Sho said as he stormed into the kitchen, strapping on a gun holster that trailed down his right leg. Kei walked over and wrapped his arms around Sho's neck.

"Mmm…I love when you're covered in guns," he told him, kissing Sho's cheek. "It makes you more dangerous…and all the more tempting."

"I just love you in general," Sho said slyly as Kei fiddled around with the collar of his beloved white trench coat.

"Good. Otherwise I think I'd dump you."

"But Kei-chan! You wouldn't be able to dump me because I'm just too cute," Sho said, pouting.

"I love when you pout…" Kei nearly moaned before Sho stopped and pushed Kei towards the door…


So. The Sequel. I know Sho's being all mood-swingy, but he'll get over it. I think I'd get annoyed if people kept calling me Tixxana-san…or Ti-san. XD And I hope you enjoyed the adorableness of the first video. I thought of that a month ago and nearly died when I thought about it. Sho with that hair is just so…adorable!

Anyway. Please review! And I've found out details about what my ex-boyfriend and his new girlfriend did while watching the Goblet of Fire. And I only heard one part and that's apparently not all of it. So ew. I don't want to hear the rest of it! And if you'd like me to stay somewhat happy, the least you can do is review! (puts on pouty Sho face.) Come one. You can't resist Sho's pouty face! ;D
