Alright, last time we left off with "Who is Miki's mother?" and you guys guessed Teto… Well… You are right! Teto is the only red head we know who's been killed by our lovely Samurai, Gakupo! And now that leaves us with two questions, who is Miki's father? And is he alive?

Onward!

Chapter Eight: Confusion

SeeU's POV

I couldn't believe my eyes when Meiko came in. It seemed like I knew her from somewhere… and the fact that she was Kaito's wife made me go insane. I wanted to remember who she was besides his wife… but it hurt too much…

I think I lost my memories… or something.

The only things I could remember were all my times at the Dark Word Circus, what happened to me before I came to the circus, bits and pieces of my childhood, and unfamiliar faces…

Don't even get me started on what happened before I came here… I hate him so much, it's indescribable.

If you must know, his name is… Wait… What is his name?

This made no sense! I hate him but I don't know who he is! I remember what he did but I didn't know who he was!

I got a headache trying to think about him. Everyone was asleep until Gumi came in.

"Can't remember can you?" she asked me.

I managed to shake my head.

"That's alright," she told me, "I can tell you all about Mikuo Hatsune,"

My eyes grew wide… I knew who he was…. Gumi took a deep breath.

When I woke up the next day, I couldn't believe what had happened last night.

I learned about Mikuo and what he did to me… He's such a jerk… But Gumi's an angel to tell me what he did to me and her… Poor Gumi…

And apparently I knew Gumi before the circus… Ugh! Why was it all so confusing? What did they do? Did they use some kind of memory eraser?

When Neru came in to feed us, I was going to ask her… but, I realized she wouldn't tell me… I didn't want to ask Gumi any more questions…

Luka and Gakupo were out of the question. That only left Haku and Lily. Which reminded me, where had Haku disappeared to this week?

I was going to ask Neru that instead but that must be a hurtful subject for her.

I decided I was going to ask Lily, if anything, she must know what happened to Neru.

When Luka came to train us, she was more verbally abusive than anyone I've ever met.

Lily was silent and did what she was told. But I stopped her when she was about to leave. The others were busy resting… Luka really gave them hell. She seemed really…easy on me.

"Lily," I said, "Do you know what happened to Haku?"

She shook her head, "Sorry SeeU, they don't tell me anything around here," she looked up at the ceiling… "But from what I've heard around the rest of the circus employees and also from my brother Lucian, is that Gakupo did away with her… Like, killed her. I refuse to believe Neru would let that happen, unless you know, she was cheating on Haku, which is another rumor. But… I'm not the one to ask,"

I nodded and thanked her for the info she had tried to give me. If anything, Lily seemed more… trusting than anyone here.

Maybe even a little more trusting than Gumi…

But I decided not to play the trusting game… I had a new mystery on my hands…

What in god's name happened to poor Haku?

And so… SeeU returns from the pit hole I left her in since chapter four! :D Yay!

But she has tons of unanswered questions and tons of mysteries to solve. And they're all very puzzling ones at that.

So here's your question: What happened to Haku? And what exactly did Mikuo do?
