The sun rays have entered the hospital room where the girl in white yukata and yellow sash was confined. She was sleeping soundly at the white bed covered in white sheets. Beside her was a young man, who was in a deep slumber; he was awakened by the sun rays that passed through the curtains. He slowly removed his hands from the girl's and scratched his yellow eyes. Someone poked him at the elbow. He turned around and found the child peering at his sleepy face. The little girl blinked twice and shook the object that she was holding. Then, she placed it on his lap and grinned. "Please take care of Saya-chan. She got amnesia and I think this was what's giving her hope." She tapped at the two opposite-colored stuffed toy neko and hummed on her way out of the room.

"W – Wait," Train said; he stood up and the stuffed toy neko fell down. He gazed at it and then, veered at Saya's direction. He was already giving his feelings up for her, while he she was, still fighting back. Probably, she wanted to remember everything bit by bit so she decided to leave the city. Train picked the stuffed toy neko and placed it next to Saya's hands. Saya must have felt it and embraced it tightly like it was a pillow. Train sat beside her and grinned. He slowly reached for her sleeping face and gently touched her lips. He leaned down and closed his eyes bit by bit. His lips were almost on hers when the window slid open. A girl with her long, brown, braided hair was sitting by the window, watching Train. She had a black kimono with small triangles on it. She blinked her large dark blue eyes and grinned. "Go on, continue what you're doing, Train Heartnet."

"O – Omi? What're you doing in here?" Train quickly moved away from Saya. His face was all red, he could not look at Omi's eyes.

"Now, that's not very welcoming." Omi went down from the window pane with grace. She gave a heavy sigh as she gazed at Saya's direction. "She's a worthy rival, you know."

"Rival? To whom?"

"You, of course!" Omi jumped at him and placed her arms around his nape. Train felt awkward at the moment. He looked at Saya; she was still sleeping soundly. He sighed and looked at Omi.

"You can't be serious, Omi. Your fiancé just passed away –" Train said. Omi suddenly feel crushed at the moment he mentioned 'fiancé'. She fell dramatically on the ground and a spotlight shone over her. Train sweat dropped and went on, "How could you move on that fast?"

"H – He was a sweet young man and was the only one who made me feel loved. No one else could replace what he had done for me; he sacrificed his life only for me." Omi said dramatically. Tears slowly fell down from her downcast eyes; it fell down on her hands to make it more dramatic.

Train turned to the viewers – uh, I mean, readers, "She didn't answer my question."

"Look, Omi," Train started. "Saya needs rest. You could visit her some other time."

"Oh, don't be silly." Omi chuckled. "I'm not visiting her. I'm visiting you." Omi held Train's hands. Her large eyes were sparkling as she peered at his astounded face. "I've missed you so much." She suddenly embraced him that made him choke. Then, her mobile phone rang. The ring tone was familiar; it was Diamond Flower by Yoriko. She removed her arms away from him and took the call. Train was relieved that he had gotten out of Omi's embrace. He turned around when he heard Saya moaning on her sleep. He quickly sat beside her and touched her arms gently. Her arms were wrapped around the stuffed animal neko.

"I've got to go now, Train. Ja – ne!" Omi winked and slid the window open. She jumped down from it. Train recalled that they were on the third floor. He was wondering how she was able to jump high enough to go up and down. He scampered towards the window and looked down. Omi was running towards the gate. She came to a halt and turned around. She waved blissfully at him and left. Train waved his hands lazily and slid the window close. Finally, he was alone again with Saya. Probably, he could do it this time. He breathed deeply and slowly walked towards her. His heart was beating rapidly. He sat down next to her; his hands were trembling. He gulped first and then, he slowly leaned towards her sleeping face. He could smell her sweet scent. His whole body could not resist; he wanted to hold her in his arms so that she would not go anywhere. Then, the door of the room swung open. Train's heart suddenly leaped that he fell out of the bed. The nurse came in to check up on Saya. She had an assistant along with her. Train took a second look at the nurses. They aren't nurses, Train thought. He looked at them from head to foot. One of them was taller than the other. She had a gorgeous body and lustrous legs. Her heart-shaped necklace along with her bosom and buttocks were swaying left and right as she walked towards the patient. The other one looked like a child. She had a calm and innocent face that suits her to be an assistant. The only difference was the clothing. He could tell that the two were only pretending to be nurses. He gave them a dirty look and pouted. "What're you two doing in here? This city's too far for you to come."

"Is that a way to treat a friend?" Rin slapped the record that she was holding at Train's head. "We came all the way here just to see you and bring you home. Sven could not come since he was busy hunting a large amount of bounty."

"Well, you are in a bad timing, really." Train muttered.

"Sven told us not to leave until you and that girl come home." Eve handed the stuffed animal neko back to him.

"Oh whatever! We'll leave right away. We just want to know why you were in a hurry to get in here." Rin eyed Train. She veered to where Saya was laid. "Now we know. Let's leave, Eve. We're disturbing them." She chuckled as she took Eve's hands and went out of the room.

"We'll be waiting outside." Eve said.

"Don't wait outside the room. Wait outside the hospital. I don't need you guys to eavesdrop or something." Train said abruptly. He closed his lips with his hands and turned around quickly. He sat beside Saya and breathed deeply. That was the second time he was disturbed. What if she wakes up? He would not be able to kiss her. He looked at her and sighed once again. It does not really matter if she punches him at the face for kissing her without her knowledge. All he wanted to prove was how much he loves her. He could recall his dream clearly; he was the prince and Saya was the sleeping princess. It was the same scenario but only in a different place and time. He held Saya's hands and gulped. He closed his eyes bit by bit and leaned towards her. His lips finally touched hers. It was wet but it felt so good. He wanted her to open her eyes so that he could express his feeling for her. He held her face and slowly moved away from her. His cat-like eyes opened and saw her staring back at him with an astounded look on her face.


Uh-oh. I wonder what would be Saya's reaction to Train's kiss? Would she get mad or kiss him back? Was she able to remember their sweet times together or has she forgotten all about it and what remains in her heart, Friendship or love? Find out soon!
