part 1

"Hey, long time no see…"

Standing before Yuuki was Ameth.

"It's been a while…"

"Yes, indeed it has. Dispute that, I've still been watching over you. I must say, I'm impressed with how you've been doing in this world."

"Thanks."

"It also seems as though you're starting to act more and more like your old self, which I personally like. Do you happen to remember anything from the past?"

Yuuki thought for a moment before shaking his head "no".

"Oh well." Ameth said with a sigh. "Other than wanting to see you, I also summoned you here because I want to tell you something."

"I'm all ears."

"When you wake up, you're going to be in a hammock sleeping with Eriko. Long story short, she tried to kidnap you again and take you to an island, however, this time around, her other guild members from Twilight Caravan are with her."

Yuuki remembered the first time that Eriko had kidnapped him. Her and Shizuru had taken him to an island, where the two pretty much kept him all to themselves.

"Just wanted to tell you so you weren't alarmed when you woke up, assuming you do remember this conversation. Not quite sure how to feel about you getting kidnapped by girls again, but hey, at least they're not planning on doing anything bad to you. At least I hope not…"

When Yuuki awoke, he found himself looking up at a blue sky with some clouds sprinkled here and there. On his chest was Eriko, who was in her swimsuit already. While Yuuki didn't outright panic, he did feel a bit uneasy, even more so when Eriko lifted up her head to see that he was awake.

"Good Morning Yuuki~"

"Good morning Eriko. Where am I exactly?"

"The same island you were on before with me and Shizuru. I was hoping to kid-I mean take you to the island by myself so we could spend a nice, long, romantic time together on the beach, but my guildmates found out."

"Where are they at?"

"Right here!" Nanaka said, popping out from behind a tree. Nanaka was wearing a bright pink swimsuit.

"What are you two up to?"

"I'm trying to cuddle with my precious Yuuki." Eriko said, running her hand through Yuuki's black hair.

"Mind if I join in?"

"Of course not! Yuuki is mine!"

"Maybe in this life, but in the past life Sigurd and I were partners!"

Coming out of the trees was Anna Von Stechpalme, wearing a simple one piece school swimsuit.

"How do I look Siguard?"

"You look good." Yuuki said, giving her a thumbs up.

Following them was Mitsuki and Ruka. Mitsuki was wearing a black and red swimsuit, while Ruka wore a fundoshi with a white bikini top.

"Ruka! What is the meaning of that lewd outfit you have on?" Eriko asked.

"What? What's wrong with my swimsuit?"

"Just don't turn your backside to my dear Yuuki…the only bare bottom Yuuki should be seeing is mine."

"My, my, you're quite possessive of him, Eriko." Mitsuki said.

"Must I explain to you that he's my future partner?" Eriko said, hugging Yuuki tightly.

"Just remember Eriko, you're on thin ice with us." Ruka said.

"Yeah, what's the big idea trying to take Siguard to an island all by yourself without at least inviting us first?" Anna said.

"I just wanted a getaway trip to an island with my darling that's all!"

"Well, we could use a vacation too." Ruka stated firmly. "Now then, what's say we play some volleyball?"

The gang set up a Volleyball net that Ruka brought, and got ready to play. The teams were Yuuki, Eriko, and Anna against Mitsuki, Ruka, and Nanaka. Nanaka served the ball and hit it over to Yuuki's team side. Yuuki hit the ball back over the net. Ruka bounced the ball over to Mitsuki who bounded it over the net. Anna hit the ball, but was unable to get it over the net, giving Ruka's team the advantage.

"Sorry about that Siguard." Anna said mopping.

"It's OK Anna, we got this." Yuuki said. Yuuki served it once more. The ball went between the two sides back and forth before Eriko gave it a good hit right over to Ruka's team side. The ball landed hard on in the sand.

"Woah there Eriko! Take it easy! This is the only ball we got!" Ruka said.

"I must win for the sake of my darling Yuuki." she said in a creepy tone.

Ruka served the ball this time around, and once more the ball went back and forth between the two sides. Anna bopped the ball over to Yuuki, who hit it over the net. Mitsuki and Nanaka tried to get the ball, but bumped into each other.

"You two OK?" Ruka asked, checking the two over.

"Yeah, I'm OK." Mitsuki said.

"It will take more than that to keep this magical girl down!" Nanaka stated proudly.

On the other side of the net Yuuki and his team celebrated themselves being in the lead.

"Good job Yuuki! Eriko said, hugging Yuuki tightly. Anna also joined in on hugging Yuuki, much to Eriko's annoyance.

"Hey you three, the game isn't over yet!" Ruka shouted from the other side of the net. Everyone got back into positions and the game continued, with Nanaka serving the ball this time.

"Time to serve up my special magical girl strike!' Nanaka said. He hit the ball hard over to the other side of the net. Yuuki tried to get it, but got hit in the face by the ball instead, falling to the ground hard.

"Yuuki!" Anna shouted. Everyone rushed over to Yuuki, who seemed to be knocked out briefly.

"Darling? Darling! Are you OK?" Eriko said, holding Yuuki in her arms.

"He seems to be breathing, so that's good." Mitsuki stated after examining Yuuki.

"Still, what if he doesn't wake up?"

"I'm sure he'll be fine, Eriko. But if you're that worried, why not give him mouth to mouth?"

Right after she said that, Eriko placed her lips onto Yuuki's and started to give him mouth to mouth, though to the others, it looked more like a kiss.

"That's not how you do it Eriko." Mitsuki said.

"What do you mean?"

"This is how you do it." Mitsuki placed her lips onto Yuuki's and started to give him mouth to mouth as well, much to Eriko's shock.

"Mitsuki…what is the meaning of this!"

"He is my subject after all. If he dies on me, I'll have to look for another one, and well, trying to find people who will let me experiment on them willingly isn't very easy…"

Eriko was about to do something awful to Mitsuki when she turned around to find Anna giving Yuuki mouth to mouth as well.

"Anna…"

"I'm sorry Eriko! But I can't let Siguard die on the battlefield again! Otherwise, who knows when we'll see each other in the next life!"

"You're not gonna have to worry about going to the next life when I get done with you!"

"Magic girl life saving kiss!" Nanaka shouted before giving Yuuki mouth to mouth.

"Damn you Nanaka!"

"Alright, enough!" Ruka shouted. "This is how you do mouth mouth properly!" Ruka leaned over close to Yuuki, brushed aside her hair, and gave him mouth to mouth. Once she removed her lips from Yuuki's, the boy started to wake up.

"Ow…what happened?" Yuuki said, holding his head.

"It was awful darling! All of these wretched witches started to kiss you while you were asleep!"

Yuuki looked at the rest of the members of Twilight Caravan, most of whom were blushing bright red or looking away from him.

"Do I even want to know what happened while I was knocked out?" Yuuki thought to himself.

part 2

Anna and Nanaka made their way into the ocean, splashing each other along the way.

"Come on guys, the water is just fine!" Nanaka said.

Yuuki headed into the water, followed by Eriko and Mitsuki.

"I don't know guys, water seems a bit cold to me."

"Hee hee, would you like me to wrap my arms around you to keep you warm?"

"No thanks, I'm good Eriko."

"Enough flirting you two!" Nanaka said, splashing Yuuki and Eriko.

"You're on thin ice Nanaka, I don't plan on forgiving you for kissing Yuuki anytime soon."

"What? I was just giving him mouth to mouth." Nanaka splashed Eriko once more, causing Eriko to chase after Nanaka.

"Yuuki help! Your girlfriend is after me!"

Yuuki sat back and watched Nanaka be chased by Eriko with a smile on his face. Even though it was through means of kidnapping, he didn't mind being on the island once more. He didn't think he'd see the beach anytime soon due to his schedule with the gourmet guild and his many part time jobs around landsol.

"Come on Siguard, come out further!" Anna said, shouting over to Yuuki. Yuuki agreed to join the gang, battling the waves that hit his body as he tried to get closer to them. The waves started to get more and more rough as he got closer to them. Next thing he knew, Yuuki had lost his footing, and a wave that was coming towards him knocked him down.

Yuuki's head went underwater for a few, before he popped back up completely soaked.

"You OK Yuuki?" Eriko said, swimming over to Yuuki to check on him.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Yuuki said, a bit shaken up by the huge wave. Yuuki stood back up, but felt weird for some reason, as though he could feel the water more clearly on the lower part of his body. That's when he saw Mitsuki pick up his blue trunks.

"Say…Yuuki, are these yours?"

Yuuki felt his face get red as he felt around where his pants should be. He was not only naked, but surrounded by girls. Normally in these situations, panic from the girls would ensue, with them calling Yuuki a pervert or screaming at their lungs, but that didn't happen.

Instead, what happened was the girls surrounding Yuuki in a circle calmly.

"Alright, now they just need to turn around and I can put my trunks on quickly." Yuuki thought. That wasn't the case though.

As Yuuki grabbed his trunks from the girls, he asked them all to turn around so he could get back in them, but they didn't.

"Actually darling…I'd like to see it." Eriko said calmly.

"W-what do you mean by "it"?"

"You know, you're lower area." Mituski said with a smile.

"OK, very funny guys, now seriously, turn around and let me get back into these before Ruka comes over." Yuuki said, panic starting to set in his voice.

"Siguard…" Anna said with her face getting super red.

"Come on Yuuki! Let us see the goods!" Nanaka said.

Yuuki wished that the situation was just one where the girls screamed and knocked him out for the clothing mishap. As popular as he was with girls, he never thought he'd find himself in a situation where they would pressure him into seeing him naked. Luckily for Yuuki however, help came.

"Hey, what's everyone doing?" Ruka asked, joining everyone in the water. This caused all the girls to turn around and look at Ruka, while blocking her view of Yuuki. Yuuki took this opportunity to put on his swim trunks quickly.

"Oh…uh nothing." Anna said quickly.

"Yeah, we were just checking on Yuuki because he fell in the water." Nanaka said, scratching her cheek nervously.

"You OK Yuuki?"

"Yeah, I'm good. I think I'll just go back to land and rest for a bit." Yuuki said, making his way to shore. Once the girls all saw that he was wearing his trunks, they let out a disappointed sigh, much to Ruka's confusion.

Later on that night the gang made a campfire and ate some fish that Anna and Yuuki had caught. Everyone but Yuuki and Ruka were fast asleep on the beach, nothing but the crackle of the fire and the sound of the waves hitting the beach could be heard.

"I hope you're not too mad at my fellow guildmates for kidnapping you out here." Ruka said to Yuuki. "That Eriko, she always talks about you, and wants to make up all these strange potions to get you to fall in love with her. The same can be said about Mituski.

Ruka paused for a second, getting a good look at Yuuki's face.

"Now that I think about it, just about all the members of the guild seem to like you in one way or another, myself included." Ruka said with a smile. Yuuki was about to respond to Ruka's comment, but suddenly felt himself getting sleepy.

Yuuki's head made its way onto Ruka's lap, much to her surprise.

"This is a bit surprising but…I don't mind…" Ruka said with a smile. Before she could say anything else, a bright light engulfed both of them.

Yuuki found himself in a different location this time. While still a beach, there were more people around.

"Hey, fancy meeting you here." Ruka said. This time Ruka was wearing a blue and white striped shirt with khaki colored jeans.

"Hey Ruka." Yuuki said as she sat down next to him. "I'm glad you could make it."

"I was a bit surprised you invited me out to see the firework show tonight."

"I'd figure you could use something to get your mind off of things."

"Well…it has been a while since I've seen a firework show." Ruka said.

Not long after Ruka said that, the show began, with fireworks dancing in the sky. The two sat and watched the fireworks on the beach.

After the show, people got up and started to leave the beach.

"Shall we get going?" Yuuki asked.

"You can go if you want, but I'd like to stay here for a bit." Ruka said, looking out into the ocean.

Yuuki stayed with Ruka, watching the waves go back and forth on the ocean while sitting next to her.

"Isn't it peaceful Yuuki?"

"Hm?"

"Being at the beach at night I mean. There's no one here, you can hear the sounds of the waves crashing upon the shore, and see the moon clearly reflecting off the ocean."

Ruka turned to look at Yuuki and smile, the light of the moon glowing off her face.

"Say Yuuki, if it's alright, can we do this some time? Just you and me, hanging out on the beach at night?"

Another light gulped up Yuuki, and he once again stood before Ameth.

"Another memory huh?" Yuuki said to her.

"Yep. It didn't take too much to bring this one up. You and Ruka have gone to the beach together before at night, and you would continue to do so after this."

"I'm a bit fuzzy on that part, but before you showed me this, I started to feel nostalgic about being on the beach at night with her."

"I see. Speaking off…that was certainly an interesting situation you got yourself in there earlier."

"What situation?"

"You know, the one where you lost your trunks." Ameth said with a smile. Yuuki felt his face start to get red once more.

"I'll say this, I'm sure there's guys out there who wish they were in a similar situation to you. Regardless, I'm glad you made it out of that situation OK."

"Do you happen to watch me at all times up here?"

"Not all the time, but in my down time yeah. Anyway, I better send you back, it's morning and everyone is about to wake up. I know it can be a headache at times, but continuing to bond and connect with everyone, it's the only way to get your memories back."

When Yuuki woke up, he was still on Ruka's lap. He slowly lifted his head up, only to be greeted by the rest of the Twilight Caravan looking at him and Ruka, who was also waking up.

"Uh…morning already?" Ruka said, stretching her arms.

"Did you happen to sleep well Yuuki…" Eriko said with a smile on her face.

"Yeah…" Yuuki said quietly.

"How was Ruka's lap?" Nanaka asked. It was at this point that Ruka was now blushing, remembering what happened last night.

"That's right, you fell asleep in my lap, and then I fell asleep petting your head."

"You have some nerves to admit that in front of me Ruka…" Eriko said, her eyes glowing bright red.

"Siguard has certainly been popular with a lot of girls lately hasn't he?"

"You wouldn't happen to be trying to start a harem would you Yuuki?" Nanaka asked.

"Alright enough!" Ruka said standing up. "Yuuki was just tired and fell asleep in my lap, that's all! Now then, what's say we have ourselves one more fun day on this island before we go back home."

Things settled down after that, but Ruka couldn't help but wonder what was up with that light, or that dream she had of Yuuki and her watching a firework show at the beach.
