Hey guys! I am so very sorry for the REALLY late update. Actually it was decided that I won't continue the story but I have changed my mind , so hopefully I can continue it ^_^ thank you for your support all this time :D

The chapter might be really short, sorry in advance :P

Recap: Alice was separated from her friends after a big tsunami. After living six years in Russia and her grandfather's death, she decided to go back to Japan. She was pretty happy to know her friends were alive, but she was in for a big surprise…Her love, Shun Kazami, has lost his memory after the tsunami.

While dealing with the fact that she was nothing more than a stranger to Shun now, she decided to stay even more and try and bring back his memories. To proceed slowly, she introduced herself as a friend to Shun and even spent the day at his house. Moved by her emotions, she kissed him, which caused Shun to get mad with her.

Disclaimer: I own nothing (sadly T_T)

Chapter five: I want to know you.

"Just get out of my house and never come back!"

The words he said yesterday still rang in her ear.

Alice's body tensed at the sight of Shun standing not too far away from her. She didn't know how to face him and her heart wasn't quite ready yet. Getting away was the safest option she had. Before she could put her plan, coming up with an excuse and run, into action, hers and Shun's eyes were locked. Shun quickly averted his eyes away, as an embarrassed and guilty expression appeared on his face.

It filled Alice's heart with more confusion. It didn't surprise her that he averted his eyes, but she expected a colder expression. The feeling of confusion turned into one of curiosity…

Her legs started moving out of their own will…it seemed that once more her body was going to cause more problems. She stopped about three feet away from the two guys…and just like that, remained silent.

Runo followed shortly, wondering why Alice suddenly started walking. Dan went to her side and put his arm around her shoulder, taking her by surprise. She was about to hit him out of habit, but he stopped her by whispering a few words in her ear. Dan's serious eyes…it was rare to see them, but whenever he does wear those eyes it meant the situation was far from being silly…Runo nodded slightly and followed Dan inside the café…though she really wanted to truly understand what he meant by his words.

"Let's leave them alone…they have a lot they need to talk about,"

Silence filled the air, awkward and tensed one that is. They were in a position where they wanted to say lots of things to each other ask many questions and explain many other incidents. As things were going, none of this was going to be accomplished. Alice finally summoned some courage and deiced to greet him properly.

"Good morni-"

"This picture…" Shun spoke while showing her a picture in his left hand.

Alice was kinda surprised to be cut off by him like this, but nonetheless, she was happy he was speaking to her. She eased a bit and took hold of the photo he was holding for her to try and get a better look at it. As she examined the photo, Shun's eyes were fixed on her wanting to see her reaction.

The picture was of the whole gang taken after spending the day at the amusement park. Runo and Dan were still eating their cotton-candy when the picture was taken, Julie tried yet another one of her overly cute poses and Marucho was just sitting there with a smile on his face. In the Back stood Dan's and Alice's mothers as they were the ones who offered to take the kids to play, they had a sweet smile on their faces as they held colored balloons in their hands. Sitting in the left corner of the picture were Shun and Alice.

Shun had only his right eye opened as he gazed at Alice whose face was covered with ice-cream, the said girl was smiling cheerfully at him.

Tears appeared in Alice's eyes. The picture sure returned many beautiful memories she didn't wish to forget. She hugged the photo tightly as some tears managed to escape her eyes as a smile appeared on her face. She really missed them all.

A warm sensation of a hand whipping her tears was enough to jolt Alice out of her dream land and back into reality. She nearly died of shock as she opened her eyes to find Shun's face close to hers and his fingers getting rid of her tears gently. An instant blush was bound to appear on her face.

"So. It's true…" he said in an almost unheard tone. Alice looked at him not quite getting what he meant.

"You are the girl in the picture; you were also my friend back then…" He explained further. Alice slowly nodded.

"Yeah, everyone was so close back then. The photo reminded me of I missed the most, being together with everyone," Alice added, still stealing glances at the picture in her hand.

"I'm sorry…"

"Huh?" Alice said not sure if Shun had said anything.

"I'm SORRY FOR NOT BELIEVING YOU YESTERDAY!" He shouted as he got a bit irritated she wasn't paying attention to him.

His voice caught the ears of the people walking in the street, they looked the couple worriedly, coming to some weird conclusion that a fight was about to break between the two. Alice somehow managed to reassure them that nothing was going to happen by smiling sweetly at them and soon enough the street's flow was back to normal.

"Geez Shun, don't scream like that," Alice said while giggling.

Looking at her laughing face made Shun relieved a bit, it felt greater to make a girl smile than to make her cry. It seemed bringing them to tears was his specialty, handling girls was never his strong point.

"It was because you didn't hear the first time, you know," He said, getting slightly defensive now that he realized he was being laughed at. That earned another snicker from Alice.

"I'm sorry too…I don't know what really happened to me yesterday. It was just…I didn't see you for so long and somehow my heart took control …before I knew it I-"

"It's ok,"

Alice looked at him with widened eyes…Was he really saying it was ok? Did he really forgive her?

"You were my best friend so it's okay," he said it with closed eyes while putting his hands in his pocket.

Alice smiled at him, "I'm glad," she said.

His heart was racing at the sight of Alice's smile. In those six years, Shun couldn't recall anything that made him react in this way…it was only Alice. He felt she was someone special, yet he couldn't understand in what way even after getting that long lecture from Dan about how they were all friends in the past. Even if Dan hasn't showed him that picture, Shun did believe that Alice was related to his past, still the picture ensured this feeling and so he knew he got to make things right.

"Umm…"

Alice's voice stopped Shun's train of thoughts. He looked at her and noticed her uneasiness…Apparently; he was caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice the long silence he was creating.

"Sorry, I was thinking about something…" he said. She shook her head stating it was okay.

"Hey, Alice," Shun called, the redhead looked at him, a surprised expression appeared on her face, but she gestured him to continue.

"Today you are planning to help out in the café right?" he said

Alice nodded.

"Then after you finish, if you want…I would like to take you out somewhere,"

Alice blushed and quickly lowered her gaze so she couldn't be seen; her heart was beating faster now. Why did this feel like he was asking her on a date?

"I want to get to know you better and if possible remember stuff about you, is that okay with you?"

"Yeah, sure," She said in a faint voice. She abruptly jerked up her head and looked at Shun with a smile plastered on her face, "Then I'll see you today, now I must go, bye," she said as she made her way to the café, in a happy way.

"Yeah, see ya," Shun managed to say while gazing at her fleeting figure. He then quickly shook his head, regaining his cool. And then left to finish the errands his grandfather sent him to do so he could be free for tonight.

…

Dana glanced as his best friend and sighed. He hoped Shun had done what he said to him. It was a long talk he gave to Shun yesterday trying to explain everything without telling him what exactly Alice was to him. If he was to say Alice was Shun's girlfriend then Shun would have taken a defensive stance since his memories were not there.

His eyes then caught Alice happily serving the customers and smiled.

Dan was secretly hoping that Alice would be able to bring back Shun's memories somehow or at the very least those two were to fall in love again and lead a happy life even if that never happened.

I hope everything goes well tonight…

So that's it for now, told you the chapter was short sorry for that :/ there will be a couple of short chapter like that x_x I hope you liked it even if it was just like this, I didn't want to put in their "date" here as well. If I write the next two chapters exactly the way I want it, they will be very cute ones
