YAY! I finished the hardest chapter… well the end chapter is always the hardest but yeah… Anyway thinks are explained… Slightly… This chapter may seem jumpy towards the end but it suddenly went in a different direction to where it was heading… Only a small change though. The end will be the same. Anyway I'm tired and need sleep, sorry for those you've been waiting for this and enjoy!

Memories forgotten by the heart.

Chappy 8- Forgiveness-

The room was silent; Choco, Yoh and Manta had joined the group in the living room. Anna had heard the noise earlier and had sent Yoh and Manta to find out what was going on and to stop it what ever it was, Choco had also wondered about the noise. They had wanted to know what was going on and Ren had told them in brief. He sat on the floor away from Horo who sat on the sofa next to Manta, Choco and Sutera, Yoh stood next to the sofa. On the other sofa Mia still lay unconscious, Peach lent against it.

"So basically Mia has some magically powers, came here to see Ren and concocted some plan to get you two back together, which involved Sutera, who isn't Horos girlfriend?" Manta summed up what Ren had told them and then directed his next question to Peach. "So if that's true why are you here?" Peach smiled.

"I am here to see Mia."

"Yes well we've got that far but you still haven't explained anything." Ren snapped back at him, everyone could tell he was close to breaking point with this, and everyone was keeping there distance because of it, all except Peach who either didn't pick up on Rens anger or didn't care.

"What is there to explain? I left for three years and now I've come back."

"You left? Why? You said something about finding your past, care to explain?"

"I can't remember anything from about five, maybe six years ago. I went to see if I could find anything out about my past."

"You can't remember anything? But you told us you name… which is strange, I wouldn't want to find anything out if I had a name like Peach… what was your mum called Plum?" Choco piped up.

"I don't know my real name; the woman who found me gave me the name Peach because she found me under a peach tree." Choco went to say something back; no doubt some stupid joke that would get him beat up by Ren or Horo, but at that moment Mia stirred and opened her eyes. "Hey… Are you alright?" Mia blinked at Peach and smiled pulling him close and kissing him, she pulled back with a small look of pain on her face which soon passed.

"How long have I been out?"

"About half an hour. Does that kiss mean I'm forgiven for my leaving?"

"Depends what you do to make it up to me." Mia sat up and Peach smiled the first genuine smile since he had got there. Mia turned to Ren. "You know you really should make up with Horo, when you understand the full situation things become much clearer."

"Situation? He cheated on me, which is all I need to understand."

"Suit yourself. Horo I tried its up to you now. Anyway Peach come on we have stuff to discuss." She got up and left and Peach ran after her. Sutera looked after them both.

"She knows something you don't about the night Horo cheated on you. What happened then Horo?"

"I don't know. Like I said to her it's all fuzzy."

"Then she knows the fuzzy bits… I wonder what it is; it has to be something big surely… she doesn't forgive easily…"

Mia sat on the bench in the small park like area and looked out towards the sky, Peach sat next to her, his eyes never leaving her.

"You're beautiful." Mia turned, smiled and laughed. Her hand subconsciously went to her arms.

"Sure I'm a really thing of beauty." The sarcastic tone rang in his ears; he pulled her hand away from her arm and shuffled closer, wrapping his arms around her. Their eyes met.

"You are. What is it you wanted to 'discuss'?"

"Did you believe her?"

"Believe who?"

"Kyasurin!"

"Oh right… look Mia it doesn't matter can we just forget about it please?"

"No! Do you believe her?" Peach broke their eye contact and Mia knew that he believed her. "Peach, you can't honestly believe a word she said? None of it was true."

"Yes it was. All of it was. You know it was. I still remember the first time you touched me, that look on your face. The fear, the hurt… the disgust… it's everywhere I go; that look… how can what she says not be true?" Mia turned her head away.

"I know now, what I thought back then is wrong, you're not that person. Not now, not ever again." Mia turned back and tears shone in her eyes. "I love you! If what she said was true then why would I? I wouldn't! But I do… so much and that's why it hurts that you believe her."

"Mia… Please don't cry…"

"How can I not? You believe that your existence is worthless and that there is nothing in this world that could ever give your life meaning… That you should die and rid the world of the sin that is your life? How can I not feel pain when you think that? Is all you came here for was to seek my forgiveness? Do I not matter to you any more? Do…"

"Hey! You know you mean everything to me!"

"Then why? Why?! You believe her yet you say that? You can not have both!" She stood and looked at him, the silence cut deep into both of them, ripping at both their hearts. She closed her eyes and when she opened them again the sadness and hurt that once filled them was gone and only a void of unreadable emotions stood in their place. "Clearly all you came here for was my forgiveness for your leaving… But maybe that should never be given and that you should walk out of my life once more… and this time please don't concern yourself with coming back… It is best for both of us if you don't…" She turned and walked back toward the house leaving Peach to reflect upon her words.
