Chapter 6: The Guild and Gray

"Sachi is... Losing her Memories.." No one made a sound. Not a step, not a gasp, not even a sign of reaction. They froze. Of course. If I was told that a friend was losing his or her memories, I wouldn't know what to think.. So I decided to continue and explain.

"These past few days, I realized something was wrong. I felt it when she told me that She didn't know where she lived. She just had her address with her. Impossible right? She said she was just bad with directions and remembering things. But this morning, I learned the truth behind her past. Behind her actions, behind her forgetting. I brought her to Polyuchka. She said she had Mente Perdida. A sickness where she loses her past memories as she creates new ones. I knew that what was happening with her was not normal. She had notes all over her house. Things were written on them. Things that she shouldn't forget. Like eating, working, dressing up, what the use of soap and shampoo is.. And the worst part was.. Our names were there." Now they had a reaction. Some gasped, some grunted, groaned, stepped on the ground, hit their fist on something near them, and questions.

"She wrote our names and had descriptions on it. And they were funny, but pretty true. And every day, she reads all those notes so she could remember us.. Remember how to live.. She was striving. She did her best. Now that she gets to live her dream.."

"But she remembered one thing.. Just that one thing.. And that is... Fairy Tail.. Because, the only thing that can make her remember, is her heart.. And she truly loves Fairy Tail that she didn't forget it. Because it was in her heart.. Not in her mind.. She loved this guild so much that she traveled for 7 years to get here. It was hard to travel for someone who was remembering issues. That's why.. I asked her. How is it that she can't find her way home, but every morning... She finds her way here? She told me, she didn't have a clue. She just walked in different path ways.. To different streets and bridges and she would end up finding herself here.." I heard a few cry because of the story.. But I heard someone behind me.. I turned to see who it was..

"Sachi..." I was shocked.

"Gray..." She ran into my arms.

"I thought you're not gonna be here until tomorrow?" I asked.

"What are you talking about?"

"What? What did you do before you came here?" I was nervous.

"I fell asleep then I headed straight here.." She rubbed her forehead.

"You didn't- you didn't read your notes!?" I shook her shoulders. Everyone in the guild was at their feet.

"Notes?" She looked at me like she never heard of those notes.

"Sachi.." Erza called. She turned to the scarlet haired girl who had teary eyes.

"Gray, who is she? How does she know my name?" All our eyes narrowed. She forgot Erza.. Her second friend in the guild.. They weren't that close yet so she didn't remember her..

"Sachi! Don't forget us! We're your nakama! Don't forget us!" I heard Happy. He was crying too.

"No.. No.. This is not happening.. This couldn't possibly.."

"What's wrong Gray?" She asked me.

"Let's go home! You have to remember them!" I dragged her away from the guild.

I waved my hand asking for the guild to follow. We ran to her house and made her read the notes. After a few notes, I decided to go home.. I know I had to be there. But... I have to help myself first..

"Sachi.. I'll be back.. Trust me.. They are your friends.. Trust them." I held her shoulders. She nodded. I ran as fast as I can. I headed home and lied on the bed.. I still have to do something.. I turned then grabbed the me doll and held it up.

"Are you going to be with her? Or... I'll just rot and grow old alone.." I shook the doll.

"Sachi... She's strong, pretty, nice, funny.. I like her.. But... She loves me.. And I can't face her until I feel the same way.." I said. I thought about her again and again until I fell asleep.

"Sachi! I'm sorry.. I know.. I understand now.. And I want to tell you-" I ran towards her.

"Hmm? Um... Who are you?" My eyes narrowed. I dropped to my knees and froze.. Those were the worst three words that I wouldn't want to hear from her..

Who. Are. You.

"Sachi!" I screamed. Had a bad dream again... Now it was clearer.. Sachi forgot me.. Right now, I need help.. I got up and left. I decided to go to Lyon.. He knows how to help me. I know it's embarrassing but I don't care about my stupid pride and will beating Lyon at everything..

"Lyon!" I knocked and called him. Juvia opened the door.

"Juvia.. Where's Lyon?" I asked.

"Lyon is upstairs.. Gray-"

"Thanks! Sorry about this.." I rushed upstairs and entered their room. He was sitting on the bed and I didn't have a clue on what he was doing. I rushed to sit on the bed beside him. That sounded weird..

"Lyon! I need your help.. I couldn't understand myself. I know this is stupid, I know it's embarrassing but I have to because I have to help-"

"Sachi?" He smirked.

"Y-yeah.. I have to help her.." I calmed down.

"Gray. Why do you think are you doing this?" He asked.

"I- I don't know.. "

"You rush in here, saying that asking for my help is stupid and embarrassing. Don't you think the answer's obvious?" What..

"Gray! Don't be stupid! Think!" He shouted.

"I..." I couldn't think of words.

"You love her! What does it take for you to realize that!?" He said.

"I love her?"

"Tch. No guy would just ask his rival for help and not care about it because the jerk didn't have feelings for the girl." He smirked.

"I.. Love.. Her... I love her.. I love her! I love Sachi!" I started screaming like an idiot.

"Go. Tell her. Don't forget the doll." He laughed. I

didn't care that he laughed at me. I felt like an idiot because of it. I was running as fast as I could to reach my house. I was laughing as I ran, remembering myself in Lyon's place. I grabbed the doll and went out without closing the door. Who cares? It's not like there's anything in there. But if some bastards try to do anything with my house I'll kick their sorry asses good bye. Soon, I arrived at Sachi's house. She was lying on the couch, holding a few notes in her hands. Notes were all messed on the floor. What just happened. I took a piece of paper on the notepad then wrote something.

'Gray- Fairy Tail mark on chest. Has black hair and handsome! :)' I smiled ad I wrote it. I crouched down by the couch and shook her a little. I held the note above her face so she could see it right when she wakes up. She slowly opened her eyes and turned to the not immediately. She read it slowly then turned to me.

"Gray? Are you.. Gray?" I felt pain in my heart. What does she mean? Did she.. Forget me!?

"What? Of course I am. Hey, Sachi.. You love me right?" I sat on the couch.

"Dark Hair... That voice.. Mmmm.. Gray.. The note... Note? Gray?" She was rubbing her forehead as she said those words.

"Yeah! I'm Gray! Your first friend at fairy tail! Y-you told me.. You told me you love me! Right? And.. I wanna tell you that.."

"Who are you?" She cut my sentence. I felt like she stabbed me with a sword.. Three swords.. My dream was become reality.. She forgot me..

"I'm Gray! Don't tell me you forgot.. I... You love me! I love you! Sachi! Sachi! I told you.. I will love you.. And now.. The mark! See?"

She was shaking her head. Then I took off my shirt, showing her my fairy tail mark. Her eyes narrowed. She slowly raised her hand that was pointing at my chest. She was shaking. She slowly placed her finger on my mark.. She gasped as soon as she did.

"Sachi! What's wrong?" I said. Her eyes shifted around. She closed her eyes and cupped her face. What was happening?

"Gray... Gray? Uh.." she was mumbling. She gripped her shirt where her heart was and kept on mumbling. Seconds later, her eyes shot open.

"G-g-gray... I... I... Gray!" I just froze as she did all those things. I got to breathe when she suddenly hugged me tight.

"I'm sorry.. Sorry I forgot you.. Gray, I'm sorry! I made you worry! I'm so-" I kissed her. I just had to stop her. But this time was different.

My feelings were different than the first time I kissed her. This time, I love her. I put my arm around her. Later, she rested her hands around my neck and brushed her other hand on my head. I deepened the kiss then pinned her on the couch. We tasted each other's tongue. She was warm and sweet like her favorite, chocolate. We kissed each other passionately for a few minutes.

"Sa-... Uh.. Was I interrupting something?" Erza suddenly entered. Right. I left the door open. Ugh. We stopped and turned our heads towards her direction as soon as she opened the door. We sat up then distanced from each other.

"Um.. I'll be back.. Sorry." She grinned then left immediately. We laughed because we noticed she turned slightly pink.

"Sachi.. I'm the one who should be sorry.. Well.. You don't know me very well but.. I know that I can be very dense and slow.. I know it. And I'm sorry.." I said.

"It's all right.. But.. Even though I remember you now, Erza, Natsu and Lucy too. Mira, Master and Cana.. I can no longer remember the others.. it seems.. Unfair.." She said.

"Sachi, that's too much already. I bet someone other than you could only have two or three persons in their lives.. But you.. You have the guild. And seven other people.. That's more than enough.. I know that it is unfair, but you couldn't force it.. It's a sickness.. And I'm glad you remember me.." I smiled then kissed her forehead.

Then I remembered, the doll..
