Tired… Nut I'm still gonna work on my story so don't ya worry!

A/N: I'm changing something a bit. Chikane's eyes are emerald green in this story instead of brown.

"Chi…kane?" Natsuki thought. It sounds familiar… Chikane looks like familiar too… Chikane… Chi… Blood… Shizuru's blood red eyes… Summer tree, my name… Natsu… Summer… Chi Natsu… Blood Summer? It's a bit of a combination of Shizuru and me… Wait, Chinatsu?! But Chinatsu is Shizuru and m-

"Na…tsuki?" Shizuru opened her eyes, hoping that the night before wasn't a dream.

"Good morning." Natsuki said, shaking herself out of her thoughts when she heard Shizuru. Shizuru sat up and reached towards Natsuki.

"Natsuki~" She whined. Natsuki sighed and kissed Shizuru on her lips. Shizuru's eyes instantly shot opened.

"Natsu…ki…"

"Like it?" Shizuru nodded. Natsuki smiled.

"Time for you to get up, sleeping beauty." Shizuru nodded and got up to prepare herself. Natsuki left the room and entered Chikane's room. She looked down at Chikane. Chikane… You wouldn't happen to be her, would you? After all, you do look like her, so why is your name Chinatsu? Suddenly, Chikane yawned and stretched before sitting up and rubbing her eyes. She looked around and looked in the direction of Natsuki. Her green eyes snapped open as she suddenly remembered something. Images of a lady with cobalt blue hair and emerald green eyes filled her mind.

XXXX Chikane's memories XXXX

"Mother!" Chikane saw herself shout.

"Yes, Chinatsu?" Chinatsu? But my name is- Another image appeared.

"Mother! Mother! Don't leave Chinatsu here!" Chikane saw herself cry to the lady, who was talking to another lady. Before she was carried away by another teacher, she heard the lady speak.

"Remember, if anybody asks about her, just say that her mother died in an accident and her father left her in the hospital while she was in a coma after the accident and was killed shortly after, ok?" The other lady nodded and that was all Chinatsu saw before the two ladies disappeared from her sight.

"MOTHER!" Chikane felt tears streaming down her cheeks as she watched the heart-breaking scene. I remember… my name… it's not Chikane. It's Chinatsu! The scene suddenly changed again. It was in a living room.

"Mother?"

"Yes?"

"Who is my other parent?" the lady froze.

"… You have a mother, Chinatsu."

"Chinatsu have another mother?" the lady nodded.

"Your other mother was very beautiful. Sure, she may speak weird, but it's because she's born in Kyoto. She has brown hair like yours and you got your green eyes from me. She also have blood red eyes, which is where the Chi from your name came from. My name is Natsuki, so you got the Natsu in your name from me."

"Where is she?"

"… I don't know, but I know she fell in love with someone else."

"Huh? Then why is Chinatsu even here?"

"…you'll learn when you grow up." Chinatsu just pouted.

"Chikane? Chikane? Chikane!" Chikane snapped out of her thoughts and looked up to see a frantic Shizuru looking at her worriedly. Seeing Chikane back to normal, Shizuru heaved a sigh of relief and hugged her tightly.

"Chikane! I'm so glad. I was about to cook breakfast when Natsuki suddenly ran to me telling me you were staring off to space and wouldn't respond to her at all. But then again, maybe you didn't hear her." Chikane gulped. She did hear someone with the same voice as the lady in her memories call her name repeatedly but before she had time to think about it, another scene had appeared. She also saw the lady beside her before the images and different scenes appeared.

"Mama?"

"Yeah?"

"Natsuki, is she someone you know or once knew?" Shizuru nodded, surprised.

"Ara, yes, I once knew her. How do you know that?"

"I remembered."

"Remembered what, Chikane?" Shizuru asked and was even more surprised when Chikane shook her head.

"What?"

"My name's not Chikane, Mama. It's Chinatsu."

"Chi…natsu?"

"Yes. Mama, is Natsuki a lady with blue hair and green eyes the same as mine?" Shizuru nodded, shocked at how her daughter knew that even though she never met her before.

"Yes, how did you know, Chika- Chinatsu?"

"I remembered my past. Natsuki is my mother." Shizuru felt her heart break but at the same time she felt shocked.

"Chikane… So you really are-" Chinatsu smiled.

"I'm Chinatsu, Mother." Shizuru turned to Natsuki.

"You can see her?" Chinatsu nodded before facing Natsuki.

"Mother, why did you leave me at that place and told the other lady to tell a lie?" Both Natsuki and Shizuru were shocked.

"I… Remember I told you about your other parent?" Chinatsu nodded.

"Yeah, a lady with brown hair the same as mine and blood red eyes, where the Chi in my name came from. The Natsu in my name came from your name, Natsuki, right, Mother?" Natsuki nodded.

"Look around. Who fits that description?" Chi, natsu faced Shizuru.

"Mama?" Natsuki smiled.

"So who is your other parent?"

"Natsuki, Chinatsu is-" Natsuki nodded.

"Our daughter."

"Why didn't you tell me, Natsuki?"

"I discovered I was pregnant after you left me for Masashi."

"But why can Chinatsu see you?" Natsuki shrugged.

"How would I know? Wanna go to Mai's restaurant? We'll eat lunch there."

"Lunch?" Shizuru glanced at the clock on the wall and gasped. It was already noon. They nodded in agreement and set off. Natsuki suggested that they use her Ducati and they agreed. Needless to say, people freaked out when they saw a Ducati carrying a lady and a child but no driver, plus the lady seemed like she was holding on to someone but there was no one there and the driver's seat is empty! A few ladies fainted at the sight and even some men passed out. Some took a photo but when they checked the photo, it showed an extra person, a lady with cobalt blue hair and emerald green eyes. Soon, they reached a restaurant called Mai HIME. They entered despite the sign showing 'CLOSED'. They proceeded upstairs and saw Mai and Mikoto sitting on the couch with red eyes. Mikoto looked up, saw Shizuru and Chinatsu and jumped on Mai instantly.

"M-Mai! L-Look!" Mai looked up and freaked out.

"A-A GHOST!" Her shout attracted a couple's attention in the room and they rushed out to see what the commotion is about. The minute they looked towards the mother's and daughter's direction, though, they freaked out.

"G-GHOST!" Akira shouted.

"I-It's Natsuki-san's ghost!" Takumi shouted. Shizuru was yet again surprised that the four can see Natsuki's ghost. After calming the four people down, she explained everything. Mai was dumbfounded and quickly called the gang to gather at her restaurant, where Shizuru once again explained everything to them after calming them down after they freaked when they saw Natsuki who they know is dead.

"You're saying the mutt's ghost is here but you don't know why?" Nao said.

"No, spider, we do know but we want to fool you." Natsuki said sarcastically.

"Shut up, Kuga."

"Mother, what is 'shut up'?"

"Don't ask, Chinatsu, it's a bad word so I don't want to hear you saying it, ok?"

"Ok."

"Mother?" the gang asked. Natsuki explained everything.

"Hmm… Natsuki-san, do you think you can stay here forever?" Akane asked. Everyone fell silent as they waited for Natsuki's answer.

"I don't know. Though honestly saying, I think that I rightfully belong there. So I was thinking of staying for a while before returning."

"Just stay, Nat-chan. Everyone wants you to." Midori said. Everyone nodded, agreeing with her.

"But Mom and Duran are waiting for me and I miss them too, so…" Everyone felt disappointed.

"Why can't Mother go back there but visit us occasionally?" Chinatsu asked. Everyone agreed and it was settled. Natsuki will return, but on one condition, which is that she will visit them occasionally. Then it turns out, Natsuki not only visits them, she also helps them. Like that time when Nao was about to be attacked by all the guys she had robbed during her times as a HIME, suddenly they just flew into a wall or bruises started to appear on their faces and Nao saw Natsuki beating them up. When Mai's restaurant business went down because of her shop being hidden in a corner, Natsuki made posters and flyers and soon, the restaurant was filled with hungry customers. Natsuki had helped them in various situations. They wanted to repay her, but she said that she was just returning the favour.

"You guys saved me from becoming like Nao, untrusting and friendless. You became my friends even though I couldn't trust anyone and was so cold towards you guys. You helped me that time, so now it's my turn to help you. Friends help each other. That's what friends are for, right?"

They hated to admit it, but they couldn't help but agree with what Natsuki said.

Finished! I was very satisfied with this so I've decided not to make another sequel for 'One Day' by damn unique. Sorry! .'
