"Shingo!" was the loud outburst coming from the front door after the sound of it slamming open echoed in the house. Shigure winced as he thought he heard the wood on the door breaking from the force. "Shingo, where the hell are you?" Hiro shouted. Ignoring Kisa's attempt to calm him down, he stomped into the dining room. "Why weren't you in school today?" he demanded to know, ignoring Shigure's greeting.
"Hey, Hiro," Shingo greeted, not even bothering to look up from the blueprints.
Noticing the pieces of paper on the table, Hiro glanced over at the name of the area. Eyes widening, Hiro pointed at the paper and asked, "Isn't that the Sohma main house?" Eyeing them suspiciously, he asked, "Where did you get those?"
"The internet," Yaten said in a bored tone.
Hiro and Kisa stared at each other, both puzzled by the answer, as Kyo rolled his eyes. "That's what they told us when we asked," he muttered.

Akito watched as Usagi stared absently at her plate as she played around with the food. "Usa-chan, is something the matter? You look a little lost," he said, taking her hand into his.
"I don't know. It's just…I feel as if there are pieces of my life that are missing," Usagi replied. She clutched her head with her free hand as she thought to herself, "What is wrong with me?"
"Maybe, you're just tired," Akito said, leaning over the table to kiss her on the forehead, "Maybe some dessert will cheer you up. The chef made some cookies for you."
Usagi glanced up at a plate of warm cookies. "Chocolate chip?" Usagi whispered. She clutched her head as she heard a friendly familiar yet at the same time foreign voice saying, "Usagi-chan, I made some chocolate cookies, do you want any? I know they're your favorite." Usagi shook her head s she wondered who that was. She reached for a cookie as she tried to place a face to that voice, but her mind came to a blank. The only things she saw were a pair of gentle green eyes and a warm smile. The minute her tongue touched the pastry, to both her and Akito's surprise, tears ran down her face. Usagi touched her wet cheeks as she couldn't help but wonder why she was crying. Try as she might, she couldn't stop the tears and the pain in her heart.
Akito, on the other hand, was fuming mad. How is this even possible? Every person who had their memories erased have no recollection of their missing life, so how is it that Usagi can remember bits and pieces of her life that was taken away from her. The cookie probably reminded her of one of her friends back in Juba and didn't matter as much, but it was the reminder of the red rose that made him frustrated. The rose was a connection to someone much more important in Usage's life, the man she had fallen in love with, his rival for Usagi's heart even in the afterlife.

"I see her," a voice whispered in the bushes as a pair of red eyes and a pair of blue eyes looked out of the cover-up. "Now all we need to do is wait until that man leaves Usagi-chan alone."
"Do you smell that?"
"Hai, it's the smell of my brain going through fast speed to come up with a plan to distract him."
"No, not that. Do you smell that?"
"What? What do you smell?"
"It smells like…"
"Success?"
"No, it smells like…"
"Victory?"
"No, it's not that."
"Accomplishment?"
"No…it smells like…FISH!" Just then there was a loud smack.

Akito looked up when he heard a screech of pain echo into the air. His black eyes looked around carefully at the trees and plants in the yard but immediately turned his attention when Usagi hugged him tightly.

Rubbing his sore head, a white cat looked at the black cat in confusion. "What was that for, Luna?"
"Artemis, is your stomach the only thing you can think with?!" Luna glared at her husband. "We're in the middle of an important mission to help our princess and all you care about is satisfying your stomach." She shook her head as she said, "I hope the others are having better luck than we are."

"HATORI-NII DID WHAT!" Everybody covered their ears as the entire proximity shook from Hiro's scream. Hiro stared at Shigure in shock as his entire body shook and he breathed heavily from his mouth. "AND JUST WHEN WERE YOU GOING TO TELL US THAT SHI-NEE HAD HER MEMORIES ERASED!"
"Hiro-chan, please calm down," Kisa said, "Shouting isn't going to take us anywhere."
"Yes, let's all listen to Sa-chan," Shigure said, "Now, let's all clear our minds from Hiro's screaming and…"
"Tenshi got her memory erased?" Momiji shouted, jumping out of nowhere.
"IT'S ALL MY FAULT! IF ONLY I HAVEN'T BEEN IN THE SAME ROOM AS HER THEN THIS WOULDN'T HAD HAPPENED! GOMEN NASAI!" Ritsu shouted as he ran around the room.
"Where the hell are you all coming from?" Kyo shouted, jumping to his feet.
"Kyo, my love, why didn't you tell us what has happened to Usagi?" Kagura asked, clinging to her beloved.
The Three Lights, Shingo, and ChibiChibi looked at each other and sighed. "Let's hope that Luna and Artemis are having a better luck than we are."
