“Nino-chan! Hora mite…(look)” Rin exclaimed as she jumped into the room. He looked up from playing his PSP and stared wide eyed at her. She was wearing what seems to be a flattering princess type gown but it was hidden under a black cape with the hood over her head.
It had been a week since he was discharge from the hospital. He’s back to his house while she continued to take care of him despite the fact that he still could not remember who she really is.
“Tada! What do you think?” she said as she turned around once and stood in front of him, wearing a cloaked over a really sparkly gold dress that reached up to her knees. She also wore a tiara over her cloaked head.
“What are you supposed to be?” He asked stifling his laughter.
“I’m a princess slash Evil sorceress.” She answered matter-of-factly.
“A princess slash---?!” he couldn’t take it any longer, he burst out laughing.
“Hey, how could you?! I wore this because all you ever bother is that toy of yours and anime!” she sat, crossed her arms and pouted while he continued to laugh.
“Kawaii…(so cute)” she suddenly said as she watched him laugh. It has been a while since she saw him laugh like that. It startled him and he stopped himself. She continued to stare at him before she fell on the floor, unconscious.
“Rin! I knew it. These clothes are suffocating and too warm.” He scolded her as he lifted her into the sofa, removing her cape and undoing her collar. She was still unconscious.
“Here, drink…” he said as he lifted her head and slipped some orange juice through her lips. Still no response from her but her face has returned to normal color and her breathing is steady. He breathes a sigh of relief.
He stared at her sleeping face then he gently kissed her and before he knew it, her arms wrapped around his neck as she kissed him back. They kissed for a long time until she bit his lip, hard and he drew back staring at her.
“You already remembered, don’t you?” she asked sternly, not taking her eyes off his.
“Wha--what do you mean? I…I just remembered when we… kissed. Yeah, that’s right, just now.” He stuttered looking away.
“No, you already had your memory back way before! I had my doubts when you found your PSP where I always hide it whenever you’re playing too much with it. You told me, that my costume would make me faint, and then you gave me orange juice. I’ve been suspecting for a while now. I knew it!” she pressed on, sitting upright now.
“I…I…uh…alright, you caught me. Actually, my memory came back a week after I woke up. You were always with me, how can I not? Anyway, I never meant to pretend and hide it from you. I was going to tell you when I was about to discharge but then you offered to stay with me and take care of me until I recovered and well… it made me so happy, it was tempting. I was afraid you would give me cold shoulders again when I’m well enough. They said you saw me at the party. I wanted to know what you came for then I thought that maybe you misunderstood something with all the rumors going about me and the girl I was paired up with in the movie.” he explained. “So…I’m..uh..Hontou ni gomen!” he said and bowed his head. He lifted it slowly to look at her reaction but her expression did not soften, instead, she became all teary-eyed again.
“Anata wa Baka! (you're stupid) I understand that. I‘m not so narrow-minded, like you thought I was, to misunderstand something like that. I trusted you, you know that. I wanted to congratulate you and to… How could you? I was so worried! I felt all the guilt for the accident and everyone was silently blaming me. While you… You…!” She threw pillows at him and he didn’t dodge. She stood and marched out of the room, grabbed her stuff and went home. She didn’t even bother to change and that people were staring at her.
“How dare he?! Isn’t it enough that I rushed to his side when I heard about his accident? Isn’t it enough that I took care of him all this time? Isn’t it enough for him to know how I feel about him?! Mukatsuko… Mukatsuko!(so annoying)” she muttered furiously to herself all the way home.
