Hey everyone :)
Hope you enjoy the chapter.

(Misaki's P.O.V)

I see nothing but my pitch black surroundings. I hate feeling so weak and isolated. I hate being away from you Usui, but I'm sorry. When i wake up, i won't know who you are anymore. I'll never be able to admit that I loved you.


I remember watching a blurry figure frantically chasing after me as i lay helplessly on the stretcher, being urgently pushed by the paramedics down the hallway of the hospital. He called out my name before disappearing out of sight.

"AYUZAWA,"

The voice echoed through my mind, until finally, everything went dark.

I lay still on the bed as the heavy pain slowly inched up my body. My head throbbed with the same synchronisation as my heart beat. I could feel stinging around different areas of my head. I rubbed my eyes with my hands; the fuzziness left as my vision got clearer.

I had awakened to see a strange women and blond staring down at me, on the verge of tears. I wasn't quite sure whether their tears were conveyed as extremely happy or sad and sorrowful. Her two hands clutched onto mine.

"W-who are you?" I asked.

"I'm your mother, Misaki. You're in the hospital because you've suffered some damage on the head and had an operation on it," she said gently.

"Then ...who is he? Dad?"

The blond chuckled lightly. "No silly," he replied, running his hand around the right edges of my face and not bothering to answer my question properly. He looked relieved, yet i could somehow feel his concern.


(Normal P.O.V)

10 days left...

Minako-san invited Usui along to the house as she called for a cab to take them home from the hospital. Misaki yawned, outstretching her arms until it touched the car's roof. It's been so long since she was last able to move around and sleep on a soft, comfortable bed. She was happy her condition had stabilised and the hospital had allow her to go back home and do her daily routines.

"Aww, you're adorable when you yawn," Usui teased.

"Do you have some sort of problem?"

"Ayuzawa, why are you asking me such a question? Aren't you forgetting I'm your perverted outer space alien?"

"Last time i checked, you were just some guy who happened to be in the same hospital room as me when i awoke. Are you sure you haven't mistaken me for someone else?"

"But-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the cab halted to a stop, right in front of the broken down gates of her house. She opened the car's door and got out, feeling the breeze against her face.

She stepped into the house, Usui and Minako-san trailing behind.

"I think I'll go take a nap. Goodnight mum, goodnight Usui," she said halfway up the stairs already.

"Be careful Misaki, you just got out of the hospital," Minako-san said with a gentle tone.

Misaki nodded before continuing up.

Usui sat opposite Minako-san at the kitchen table. A frown was embedded on his face since the car ride.

"Thank you Usui for alerting me so quickly about the accident. I don't know what I'd do if i ever lost Misaki,"

"I'd do anything for your family, Minako-san,"

"What actually happened to Misaki?"

"I don't know. I really don't. I wasn't there at the time of the accident and i regret not being there for her. I'm sorry," he replied, bowing his head apologetically.

"It's alright; it's not your fault. You're not expected to be with her all the time Usui. Don't blame yourself,"

He sighed. "It turned out that Misaki had my number on speed dial on her mobile so the paramedics called me first. They don't know what happened either but they think it may have been a severe collision with something. When i got to the hospital I just managed to see her going down the hallway in the stretcher,"

Minako stared at the blank expression on the blond, who fixed his eyes on one part of the table. She could see his worried mind racing a hundred miles an hour, even though he tried not to show it. He had nothing else to say, so she decided to break the silence.

"Ahh i see ...at least she's alright eh? It could have been worse,"

Her consoling voice could soothe the cries of a baby. Usui felt a little less weight on his shoulders.

"I guess...it's just that, she remembers that she's the student president of Seika High and everything, but she doesn't seem to remember me at all,"

"Please take it easy on her, Usui. I'm sure she'll remember you eventually. Don't pressure her,"

"I know. I promise to take good care of her at school," he replied.

"Thank you,"

They shared their goodbyes before he departed the house, leaving Minako-san to ponder alone. Why couldn't her daughter remember him? Her one true love was forgotten, hopefully not forever.

Hmmm... Quick fact I learnt in science class:
Memory loss can occur when the cerebrum part of the brain is damaged.

Hehe. Please review and feel free to leave any advice to help me improve my writing ^^
