Hello, yet again I'm here with another chapter. It seemed like the previous one was very well liked since I saw I had a lot of hits on it, almost 100 while all the others are about 70 or less (chapter 1 not included). I'm happy I got at least two review though it'd be nice I had more. I'd also would like to thank those who added this fic of mine to your favorite and story alert. Thank you! Well, that's it for now. Hope you like this chapter too.

Chapter 7: Computer Problem

Yori was walking through the hallway changing classes when Aki sneaked up behind her.

"Hey," greeted Aki as she touched Yori's shoulder to call her attention.

Yori let out a gasped. "Oh, hey Aki." She sighed. "Jeez, you scared me." She admitted.

"Sorry," Aki said apologetic. "So, were you able to talk with Yusei about it?"

Yori stopped in her tracks and looked at Aki confused. "It?" Aki stopped and looked back at her. "What is it?"

Aki was taken surprised. "You did say you wanted to talk to him about not being able to remember."

"Oh." They continued their way. "Um, no, I actually forgot." She admitted reluctantly.

"Then what did you guys talk about?"

"Nothing, really." Yori replied.

"You think I'm going to believe that?" Aki asked rhetorically. "I called your house around seven and I was told you hadn't arrived yet." She informed. "Do you really think I'm going to believe you guys didn't talk about anything in about three hours?"

Yori looked away. "I never said we didn't talk." She meekly pointed out.

Aki still didn't believe her. Yori rolled her eyes. "Really, we didn't say much." Aki continued staring. "I fainted," she said reluctantly. Yori didn't want to worry Aki by saying that but she was left with no option. "He took care of me while I was out and that's how time passed."

"What happened?" Aki asked worriedly. "Are you feeling well now?"

"I'm fine. I just don't do so well when it gets so hot." Yori said not being able to think of anything else.

"You're right." Aki agreed. "Even though summer is over it still quite warm."

Yori made a face as there were about to reach their classroom to another Dance lesson.

"Still don't like it?" Aki asked slightly surprised.

"I don't hate it but…I've never really liked it." She admitted as they both entered the class.

Later that night Yori was sitting in front of her PC in her library. She was reading fanfiction quietly on the internet. Everything was silent except for the sound of the fan from the computer. At first she didn't mind it so much but it was getting annoying to her, they were so noisy. She turned off the computer and then opened up the CPU. Then she unplugged fan. She smiled.

'Now it won't be so noisy.' She thought pleased with herself.

She then turned it back on and continued doing what she was doing. She started downloading pictures and videos, played music on her window media player and continued reading fanfics. It wasn't till about forty-five minutes* later that she noticed the stench of burned silicone.

"What's that smell?" she thought out loud as she made face and covered her nose. As she was sending her review the computer crashed. "Oh, no." She restarted but as soon as she had logged back on it crashed again. "Drat." She mumbled annoyed. She turned it off for a minute or so and then tried to turn it back on but it wouldn't work. She tried and tried but it just wouldn't turn on anymore. "What the heck?" She felt like kicking the computer. She

She opened it up and the stench was even stronger. Instantly she covered her nose. She looked inside the computer but couldn't see anything wrong; then again she was no computer expert.

"Miss Yori," Ms Higgins knocked the door. "Your parents request your presence in the dinner room."

"Eh? They're here?" She exclaimed as she was putting the CPU back together. "I'll be there in a moment." She replied and heard the footsteps of the elder woman leave. 'I wonder what's up.'

A few minutes later after she had cleaned up and washed her hands she was in the dinner room and both of Yori's parents were sitting there waiting for her so they could all start dining.

"Good evening, Yori," Akio greeted her.

"Good evening, dad, mom," she said as she sat next to her dad. "I haven't see you for days, I thought you might have gone on a business trip or something." She said half joking.

"We have been rather busy," Mizuki said lamentably. "It is amazing how work piles up."

"I can imagine," Yori replied. "It is taking me a bit of trouble to re-learn everything. Some things are easier to learn than others and with Ralph's, Aki's and the twins' help it isn't so bad."

"Sounds like you are enjoying yourself." Akio said with a smile.

Yori smiled. "Yes, the classes are fun and interesting. Though, at first it made me nervous when everyone stared at me and talk about me for being at the top of the class. Now that things have quiet down I feel more at ease."

Mizuki smiled with forlorn feeling in her eyes. "I guess there is no choice. Don't you think so, dear?" She looked at her husband.

"That would seem to be the case," he replied with almost the same type of expression.

Yori looked at them curiously, feeling confused and not understanding what they were talking about. "What are you talking about? I don't understand."

"Yori dear, your father and I have some business to attend out of the country and we were hoping to bring you with us. After the accident I really don't want you out of my sight but…" she made a pause as her expression became gentle. "I really would hate more to ruin your fun. I have never seen you enjoy yourself or being around anyone but Ralph and Ren. I'm really glad you are making friends."

Yori still felt confused. Akio noticed.

"What your mother is trying to say is that we'll be leaving soon and even though we really want you with us, we think it is better for you to choose." He patted his wife hand. "We already know your answer, though." He looked at Yori. "At least, we think we do."

Yori looked down at her half finished food. "Thank you," she said and reminded silent for a moment. "I want to stay here if you don't mind. I still need to catch up with my studies and graduation is coming soon."

"We understand, sweetie. We already knew you'd say that." Mizuki said calmly. "We'll be gone for a while, exactly how long we don't know. I know you get lonely but you will be happy to know your brother is coming home soon. Probably some time next month, after he finishes with his studies."

"Ren is coming home?" Yori said enthusiastically.

"You remember him?" Mizuki asked hopefully.

Yori almost gasped and she looked down again, feeling bad for giving them hope. "No," she shook her head. "I found my old journal and read it, so I really want to meet him. He sounds like the perfect guy, at least as I wrote it."

Akio and Mizuki chuckled. "You probably wrote that because you had a brother complex." Akio said.

"I bet you didn't write anything about him teasing you," Mizuki said.

"Teasing?" Yori asked which answered Mizuki's statement.

"Don't worry. You two are going to have a lot of time to bond once he gets here." Akio said grinning.

"I'm sure we will or rather we get along already." She said which surprised both Akio and Mizuki.

"What do you mean, sweetie?" Asked Mizuki.

"Are you two talking?" Akio gave a wild guess.

"Yeah, the other day I was on the computer and saw that Ren was online. So, I started talking to him." She informed them. "I like him a whole lot, already." She smiled. "Though, I noticed you didn't tell him about my accident."

"Yes, we didn't tell him because I'm sure he'd rush off her to be beside you just like we did." Akio answered.

"Did you tell him?" Asked Mizuki. "That you lost your memories?" she added after a brief pause.

Yori shook her head. "No, I figured why worry him when I'm fine already. I mean, sure I can't remember but I think I'm gonna be okay if I don't because I've read everything on the journal so I know the kind of person I was, the kind of relationships I had with everyone. My attitudes and points of views, my personality is pretty much the same. I know that things I've done, so whether or not I will be able to remember I don't think it really matters."

"You think you're fine not remembering?" Akio seemed surprised.

"Yeah because I don't remember the painful things I'm sure I've been through. If I don't remember sadness then I can only be happy. For what I read I was pretty pessimist so I wanna change that. I want to be able to always look at the bright things," She said brightly though inside she was thinking. 'Oh, boy, what am I saying? I'm getting to comfortable on this role.'

"I guess you can look at it that way," Mizuki said unsurely but smiled.

For a few minutes it was silence again.

"Oh, yes, when are you leaving? You never told me." Yori asked curiously.

"The day after tomorrow," They replied in unison.

"EH?!" Yori asked surprised. "You said soon but I never expected to be so soon."

"We know, dear, but there's nothing we can do. We have to make up for the four months we took off." Mizuki said sadly.

"I-" she was going to say 'I'm sorry' but Mizuki had already told her that it wasn't her fault she was in an accident and in a coma for four months. "I wish you a good trip." She changed.

Akio and Mizuki smiled at her lovingly.

After bidding her parents goodnight she went to her bedroom and turned on her laptop. She noticed Ren was online an opened a window to chat with him.

(22:58)Yori: You sure up early.

Since Ren, Yori's older brother was practically on the other side of the world and with a seven hour difference; it was around six in the morning.

(22:59)ReN: more like I didn't sleep.

(22:59)Yori: why?

(22:59)ReN: till a few minutes ago I was finishing something.

(23:00)Yori: what kind of something?

(23:01)ReN: the usual

By usual Yori guessed building something or repairing a computer. He was pretty good at that kind of stuff, computers, programs, fixing stuff; that made her remember.

(23:02)Yori: um, Ren, I need your help with something

(23:02)ReN: sure, what you need?

(23:02)Yori: well, you see, what could I do to brake my computer?

(23:03)ReN: did you put wheels on it? XD

(23:03)Yori: lol no, I meant break

(23:03)ReN: the answer is if you put wheels on it and roll it down yes

(23:03)ReN: XD

(23:04)Yori: rofl

(23:04)Yori: aw, c'mon I'm being serious

(23:04)ReN: fine, what happened?

(23:04)Yori: I'm not sure

(23:05)ReN: what you mean you're not sure?

(23:05)Yori: well, it started crashing and now I can't even turn it on. It's dead T_T

(23:05)ReN:…Just what did you do to it?

(23:07)Yori: the only thing I can think of is when I unplugged the fans because they were noisy.

(23:07)ReN: -_- did it start smelling of burnt silicone?

(23:07)Yori: … so because of that it's broken now?

(23:08)ReN: *sighs* I'll take that as a yes

(23:09)Yori: so, what exactly got burnt?

(23:09)ReN: usually it's the processor or the northbridge

(23:09)ReN: or the gpu

(23:09)Yori: (?_?) ???????

(23:10)ReN: you asked

(23:10)Yori: translate, please?

(23:10)ReN: processor the CPU

(23:10)Yori: it might be easier if you told me what it look like

(23:11)ReN: northbridge main chip in the motherboard

(23:11)Yori: ok

(23:11)ReN: controls the busses

(23:11)Yori: busses? How do they fit in there?

(23:11)Yori: j/k

(23:12)ReN: and gpu graphic processing unit in the video card

(23:12)Yori: ohhh

(23:13)Yori: so how do you fix that? Change the motherboard? I think it was northbridge that got burned

(23:13)ReN: yup

(23:14)Yori: by changing the motherboard doesn't erase whatever information you have on the computer since all the information is on the hard drive right, right?

(23:14)ReN: as long as is the same motherboard

(23:14)Yori: what if it's different?

(23:15)ReN: if is a different one you'll need to reinstall windows

(23:15)Yori: but when you installed windows I didn't lose anything. At least I think

She was reading Yori's journal as she was talking to Ren. Yori had written very detail entries. She also found out she had more than one journal; it was actually three of them. The last two only about the last two years very detail and the firs one, which was the one she had first found was pretty much about since the time it was given to her till two years ago. It only contained stuff that had an impact, of sort. At least one thing everyday, though most entries were so small it was only one sentence long.

(23:15)ReN: because I used a different hard drive

(23:16)ReN: unless you put it over it is going to come back and hunt you in the future

(23:16)Yori: what you mean?

(23:16)ReN: long techie talk _

(23:17)Yori: ok, then I'll talk to you later. I'm off to bed.

(23:17)ReN: later. I'm going to bed too XD

(23:17)Yori: please, try to watch your health. It's not good to do so many all nighters.

(23:18)ReN: ok, ok, mom

(23:18)Yori: *sticks out tongue* g'night meanie

(23:18)ReN: nite, mom lol

ReN has log out.

She yawned and stretched her arms. 'It really is like talking to my brother, Ren.' She thought out loud as she was changing into her pajamas. "They even have the same name, how weird." She thought out-loud.

The next day, before going to school she looked up in the net the prices for a new motherboard for her computer. They were all really expensive. Akio had just given her four hundred dollars as allowance for the month and she had been happy with that. Now, she knew it was going to be spent on the new motherboard and she'd have nothing. It sucked not having enough money to even buy an ice-cream.

She arrived at school and entered her classroom expecting to see Aki but she wasn't there. 'She's not here yet?' She thought and looked the clock above the digital blackboard. 'It seems I came too early.'

It was five minutes before the rung when Aki entered the classroom and sat next to Yori.

"Good morning Aki," Yori was the first to greet.

"Good morning." Aki replied. "You don't seem as energetic as usual."

"My PC broke, so I need a technician to fix it and buy the motherboard. So, I'm also broke for this month" she sighed.

"What happened to your computer?" Aki asked curiously.

Yori looked away. She didn't want to say, it was stupid. "Class it's about to start." She said and their homeroom teacher arrived as if on cue.

It was the end of school now and Aki hadn't received an answer to her question. She decided to stop asking when since Yori really seemed reluctant to let her know.

"If you need a technician why not call Yusei?" Aki said as they were walking back home.

Yori stopped in her tracks. "I-I can't ask him." She said panicking.

"Why not?" Aki asked. "It's not like he's going to bite you or anything."

"I know." She sighed. "I just feel bad, still for what I did." She said as she recalled the incident when they were being introduced and the one that happened later that day on the park they were walking through now.

Aki looked at her who was looking at the floor looking embarrassed. She looked like a little girl who was afraid of being scold. Her childish face and height certainly help with that. Yori really looked younger, she wore no make up and thus she looked no older than fifteen and that was saying something.

"I know, come with me." Aki grabbed Yori's wrist and pulled her.

"Where's are we going?" Yori asked letting herself being dragged.

"You'll see when we get there." Aki smiled.

Yori looked at her curiously but decided to follow her. Aki eventually let go of her.

"Can't I get a clue at least?"

Aki looked at her with a grin. "If I'd tell you it wouldn't be a surprise anymore."

"I guess you're right." Yori said though she really wanted to know where exactly was Aki taking her.

Well, that's all for now. BTW, I'd like to give an special thanks to elcausa (he's not in but he is in other forums and stuff) for helping me with the conversation between Ren and Yori. Actually that conversation really happened about a week ago. I didn't unplug the fans though I just asked him a way to "brake" the computer. That was really me -///- I can't believe it I misspell it. I kept pretty much all our conversation as it was.

BTW, the thing about unplugging the fan and breaking your computer like that it's true so don't even try it (if you do, at least I warned you.) You don't believe me that people actually do something as stupid as that? Ask a technician, 'cause they do. elcausa is a computer technician and he told me when he was giving me ideas. (how cool is to know a computer technician who's also an otaku)

-It wasn't till about forty-five minutes*: This is an approximate. Elcausa said that it was anywhere from 20 minutes to a few hours. So the 45 mins was his suggestion after I annoyed him when I said "I like accuracy that's why I'm asking you to make it as real as possible."

Well, I think this about covers it for this chapter. Oh, I'd also would like to know if I'm doing okay at keeping the character, you know, in character? I'm not so sure. Please review? it'd make me happy and I'll feel like I want to write more.
