Kouha bent over and tried to cough the stuff out, but to no avail. "(Name), what was that?"

"Um, medicine."

"Why did you give it to me?"

"I was told that a side effect of it can give fatal memory loss. It was my only choice, so you wouldn't hurt my mom."

"I'm going to lose my memory?" Kouha's face looked saddened and you had to turn away.

"Probably."

He quietly whispered where you could barely hear, "even the memory of you?"

His voice cracked and made you feel a little sad, but you had done what you had to. "Yes, you will even forget me."

"No!" Kouha yelled out making you turn your head. You saw tears poor out of his eyes as he grabbed your arms. "Please, no! I DONT EVER WANT TO FORGET YOU! (NAME) (NAME!) I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. Please don't leave me! Please please please. All I ever want is you! I don't care if I forget everything as long I remember you! PLEASE!"

He bawled into your chest, holding you tight. "Don't leave me. P-please don't leave me when I forget. I-I-I..." He started crying more and more and all of a sudden you started to feel a pain in your heart. Was it possible you felt guilty towards him? Did you regret your decision?

"Kouha I-" you noticed his crying had stopped. You looked to see he had passed out. Probably an effect of the medicine. "I'm sorry."

As you laid him down on the bed you noticed your bracelet around his own ankle. You took it off of him and put it back on your own ankle. Now, you had to find a way to get your mom out of the dungeon and you had to get that maid to a doctor.

You looked at the clothes that were scattered on the floor. Just a few minutes ago Kouha had been carrying them for you to wear. You wondered what it would be like to not remember anything. It would probably be scary and sad. You wouldn't know who to trust or who to be weary of. Once again you felt guilty, but you kept telling yourself you had to do what you did. Bending over, you picked up the clothes. You could sell all this for your new journey, this time with your mother.

You left the room and Kouha behind, heading over to where you hopefully remembered your mom was. But, when you were taken away from her you were too busy struggling to pay attention to directions. Even if you had, your bad sense of direction would get you lost. You looked around for someone you could ask for directions from. Just as you walked past a door it opened and slammed into your face. You lightly touched the bridge of your nose, which was now in horrible pain.

"Ow!"

"Hmmm?

"You sound like that djinn." You muttered to yourself as you looked at who hit you with the door. Standing there, holding a bunch of papers was Koumei.

"What djinn?"

"Ah! Nothing, nothing. I don't know what your talking about." You tried to change the subject. "So, I'm kind of lost... Could you give me some directions?"

"I'm busy, but a maid can help you." He started to walk away.

"Do you know where one is?"

He sighed then called a name and someone came out of his room. She was probably one of his personal maids. "Direct her where she wants to go."

Koumei walked off leaving the two of you. "Um, so, I think I'm looking for a dungeon."

The girl didn't say anything and just led you down the halls. After quite a bit of walking you arrived in the dirtier room. You told the maid she could leave and when she was gone you hid behind a corner. Now you had to think of a plan to distract the guards. They kept the keys hung on a wall so if you could get them away from the door you could get the keys.

You grabbed a torch off a nearby wall and walked pretty far way from the dungeon area, but not so far that you would get lost. Then you found a way to the outside and tried to light something on fire. It was actually hard to get anything to catch on fire, but you managed to light up the leaves of a tree which spread to the tree. You quickly ran back to where the guards were and started yelling, "FIRE!"

When they had ran off you grabbed the keys that were hanging on a hook next to the wooden door. Then you ran down the stairwell to your mom.

"Mom!"

"(Name)!"

You looked around for the girl that had been there earlier. "Where is that girl?"

Your mom didn't say anything for a few seconds then, "she's dead."

"What?"

"(Name), she died." You couldn't believe it. She couldn't be dead. You never apologized to her. You looked down the rows of cells. Looking at other prisoners hoping one of them would be the girl. "(Name)."

You snapped out of it and looked back to your mother. You didn't have time to go crazy, you needed to get her out. You started to unlock your mother's cell door. "Come on we've got to get out of here before the guards come back."

I woke up in a very fancy room with a very bad headache. I looked around room having no idea where I was. "Hey! Is anybody around?"

Three women ran in the room and came to me. "What's the matter Prince Kouha?"

"Who are you?" They didn't reply and acted like I hadn't said anything, maybe they thought I was joking? So, I asked them again. "Seriously, I can't remember anything at all. Who are you three?"

They just looked at me. "Oh what game is this, Prince Kouha?"

I desperately called out this time, "Shut up! I really can't remember anything!"

"You really can't remember us?" One of them asked.

"Are you important?"

They turned to each other. "Maybe we should get someone, like a doctor or one of the other princes."

"He's probably just joking."

"I don't think so."

They seemed to come up with some agreement. Two of them left and one stayed in the room with me.

"Who am I?" I asked

"The third Prince of the Kou Empire, Prince Kouha." I looked down at my hands. So, I was royalty, not that I really cared. There was something else I was paying more attention to. I felt some horrible sadness inside of me, like I needed to do something important.

"Is there anything that has happened to me recently?" I questioned the lady in the room.

"No, nothing I can think of." We sat in silence until one of the girls came back. She said that my older brother wanted to talk to me in his office. I followed them while looking around at everything, just trying to remember something. While we walked two people were walking down the hall in a hurry. As they passed by us I subconsciously reached out and grabbed the wrist of the younger one. Something just attracted me to her. She had beautiful (H/C) hair and a very familiar feeling about her. When I grabbed her she seemed very surprised about something and her face turned red. She tried to pull away, but I didn't want to let go.

>

You had hoped to not run into Kouha, but here he was with a tight grip on you. Was it possible he still remembered everything. You tried to pull away but he held on to you.

"Are you from my past?" He asked you. So he did lose his memories. You looked over at his maids who must have stopped when he did. If you lied they probably wouldn't say anything, but for whatever reason you found yourself telling the truth.

"Yes, I am. But, now I have to leave you. I'm sorry."

"Don't leave."

"If I do, would you kidnap me, lock me up, and threaten my mother?" You started to walk off again.

"Heeeh? Why would I do that. You just seem important."

You looked over at him, that didn't seem like something he would have normally said. However, you found yourself saying something you never thought you would say. "Kouha, I'll come see you again. Just wait patiently for me, okay?" You felt your face get hotter and you had to look away. What in the world did you just say?

"Fine. But when that happens I'll have a lot of questions for you." Kouha walked off in the opposite direction of you as you walked towards your freedom. Finally free.

----------------------------

It had been 3 years since the day you left the Kou Empire. Your mother had passed away only a year after you began you journey, from a weak heart. Now, you had visited many different countries and mastered your djinn equip. And after all this time you were back in the place that began your adventure. It was the place you first had met that crazy prince. Once again you walked through the Rakushou streets you could barely even remember. After walking past a grain stall you accidentally tripped like you used to always do. Something about all of this seemed very familiar as you slammed your face into the knees of someone else. You stood up to apologize and as you looked up to the person who was taller than you, you saw very familiar pink eyes and pink hair.

"Kouha!"

"Who are-"

"Wow, you've gotten so much taller!" He looked at you visually not remembering who you were, but you didn't mind. You were about to walk away when he gripped your shoulders and kissed you suddenly. When he pulled away his cheeks blended in with the color of his hair and eyes.

"Don't ask me why I did that. I just felt like it, kid."

You smiled at the person you used to hate and felt yourself stand on your tiptoes to kiss him back. For the first time it felt warm.

"(Name)?"
