Okay. Please. Slap me. Kick me. Hate me if you want. I know it's been literally been months since my last update. This year has been really busy for me and I just didn't have the time to actually sit down and write. I mean, I have ideas and stories all planned out in my mind, but I just don't have enough no time to type them out. I'm so sorry. Please skip this part if you just want to read the story and not me rambling. Btw, this story is half me blabbering, half story. The next chapter will be longer, I'll make sure of it!

Here's an apology that I thought out, dedicated to all these people: ChuGaEun, karynperovskite, Twinkle Earthling, SGyourfan, Nicz and miss nobody. (In NO specific order, just based on how I saw it on the review list thing, and from user accounts to anonymous accounts) Basically just anyone who read and/or reviewed the previous chapter. I'm sorry if I missed you out!

Dear all, I'm sososososososososo freaking ultra sorry for all that I've done and having made all of you wait this long just for an update. If you don't find my story interesting or got bored waiting or any other reason and don't want to read it anymore, I completely understand. Who likes writers who don't update consistently, right? But. If you do still want to read this, thank you so much! I love you and totally appreciate it, y'know. I'll try my best to update more consistently now as my end-of-year exams have finally ended and I'm free now! And, if you have any questions about the story or want spoilers or whatever, you are totally free to message me if you want. (:

Sorry for this long intro, I'll start the story now!

Title: Filling the blanks

"Because I'm the one that locks it all up. Not the people in heaven, angel."

"You locked...my memories?! How?! That's crazy, are you insane? Angel or devil or whatever else you may be, that's unheard of! How could you do that, you just stole everything in my past away…" Misaki burst out. She didn't know what on earth she was saying, but those words just felt right. As she finished, she could feel the tears that she had previously held back falling down her face.

She hadn't realised that Usui had pulled her towards him and had wrapped his arms around her. She gasped and jumped away from him in a swift motion. "Don't touch me, you… you… Get away from me!" As Misaki stepped away, she could see the hurt in Usui's eyes. She instantly walked back towards him. "I… I'm sorry, I didn't mean it like that… I just… Oh I don't freaking know!" She exclaimed, putting her arms up in exasperation. The hurt she saw from Usui was quickly replaced with amusement. Laughing, he spoke. "Mood swings, huh. You're so emotional today, PMS maybe?" She immediately wanted to slap him right then. "You perverted outer space alien!" She lifted her arm, ready to give him a hi-five to the face when he grabbed her hand, as though knowing what she was about to do. "Relax, angel. Take a deep breath. I thought you wanted to know why I locked your memories, and how." Sighing, she nodded. "Yes, I do."

"The process is simple, really. The difficult part is maintaining it-"

"Maintaining? What do you mean?" Curious to know more, Misaki cut in.

"I meant, keeping the memories locked and making sure you won't remember it all of a sudden. An example of not maintaining is what just happened. Just because I kissed you, part of your memories

unlocked. Now, don't cut in until I finish." Raising her hand, she brushed her fingers gently against her lips, glowing red as she remembered the kiss.

"Okay, fine. I promise not to cut in."

"Good. It's fairly simple to lock up your memories. I just have to enter your dreams and then lock it up with a special key. Easy-"

"Key? What key-"

"You promised, Misaki. The key just requires a couple things to make. A fragment of the person, anything from a strand of hair to something that the person touched. And just any ordinary key. Keeping the door locked, that's hard. I have to lie to myself. I can't have any feelings for you, I can't or else the lock gets weaker, until it eventually breaks. As we speak, its already getting weaker, I honestly can't believe I'm letting this get this far." He laughed to himself.

Misaki was stunned into silence. What did he mean by the lock getting weaker and her getting back more memories? All she could remember were just some images of them, together. What about the rest of her lives? Did she even have any family whatsoever?

Usui… No, Takumi grabbed her hand as he said, "No, you don't have any family. Every life, you were an orphan, the pain of having to lose their own child before twenty is too much, so you're an orphan every time." It was as though he had read her mind.

It was too much for her. Her head was exploding and hurting with everything that she had had to take in. She was always in love with Takumi? She was an angel made to teach another angel a lesson?

"Wait. So you mean, that all my life, I've been living over and over again just because you wouldn't follow the rules? Even my being an angel was for you?! Do I even have any purpose other than that?!" Misaki exploded in anger.

Takumi was speechless, but just for a moment. He quickly regained his composure. "That's quick harsh and blunt. But. Quite true. It's relevant for all your lives, other than the first one. You had parents that life, a sister, even. Her descendant is still alive, if you must know. By some miracle, she looks just like your sister and even has the same name."

"What's her name? Where is she now?"

"Suzuna Ayuzawa. I don't know, I haven't bothered to track your family heritage. All I know it that this lifetime, if you think of being an angel as one, is different from every other life you had. I don't mean different as in being as angel, but different on a whole new level, angel."

Misaki wanted to know this Suzuna girl. She actually used to have a sister! "Please. Can you give me back my memories? I want them back."

Takumi shook his head sadly. "No. I mean, you can have them, but the only way to get them all in your mind in that perfect order that they were in is for you to discover them yourself. You have to really want it. All the memories that you have now are mere fragments, as you have mentioned. They're all from my mind." For some reason, Takumi seemed hesitant to reveal anymore.

Anxious to know more, Misaki started shaking Takumi's arm. "Tell me! Tell me how to, I have to."

Takumi smirked. "Alright then. This is how you do it."

With that, he leaned forward and kissed her. Again.

- End -

How was that? I know that not much story development is present and all, but I felt that this part of the story was important to the future development of the story. Actually, there's a line in this story that hints that the story is not as 'simple' as it seems. If you want, tell it to me and I'll message you the future plot if you get the line right! Or, if you just want to know what happens, just tell me, too. (:

I know that throughout my absence on fanfiction, my writing style and stuff might have changed. Its probably for the worse. :/ Please do excuse all my mistakes, I didn't proofread it to make sure. :X

Oh, and I know this might not be interesting to some people, but Rapture. The last book in the Fallen Series is out! Quite long ago, but still. Hopefully, once this chapter is published, you'll know that the story is not as similar to Fallen as it seems. I've already read Rapture, and well… If you want my take on it, I'll mention it in the next chapter!

Thanks so much for reading this long blabber by me, I hope you guys will all have the best day! ^^
