"Um... help me wash and cut that fruit over there?"

Harlan turned around and saw the fruit that Ai was talking about. Nodding his head, he walked over to them and picked up the knife that was there. Just as he was about to cut down, something flashed in his mind. He thought he imagined himself driving a car, him being well dressed in a suit. He was sitting with someone, with both of them laughing at something. The woman beside him was rather attractive, wearing a slender, red dress. Her Latina look made her even more attractive, her dark, brown eyes looking warm when they stared into hers. She leant over, as if she was about to kiss him. Then, something made him turn the steering wheel sharply, as if they were avoiding something. Glass shattered around them. Soon, the car they were in lifted off the ground, as if it had hit a hill. Eventually…

The sound of the dropped knife stirred him back to reality. Looking at the dropped knife, he quickly picked it up and started to cut down on the fruit. "Sorry about that," he began, unsure on what had happened just a moment ago. "I was distracted by something." Soon, he had finished cutting the prepared fruit, placing the knife down on the table. He turned around to see Ai preparing the table. He was taken aback by the table arrangements that she had made. I recognize that layout… he thought. It's like we're… on a date… He turned towards the dinner that was sitting on the counter. "Do you want me to bring this over?"

"Sorry about that," he began, unsure on what had happened just a moment ago. "I was distracted by something." He turned towards the dinner that was sitting on the counter. "Do you want me to bring this over?"

Ai glanced at Harlan for a moment, tilting her head slightly. The look on his face had been one that had flickered across her father's occasionally, though not as often. She wanted to ask, but decided that she will do so later. "Um... it's okay," she replied softly. She walked over to the remote that she used earlier to turn on the TV. When they had left, all she did was turn off the TV, but not put away the screen.

"Do want to eat while sitting on the couch? I rarely actually sit formally at my dining table," Ai said with an awkward smile. Then, she picked up the plates and than sat on the couch facing the large TV screen, placing Harlan's right by her. "You can bring the fruit over here." She pointed to the coffee table/foot rest. Usually, it would be considered a coffee table, if it weren't for the fact that the table was made of a soft material like that of a foot rest. It's as long and wide as a coffee table but it's not. With a blanket on top, it covered over the soft tan material underneath.

"Hey, Harlan, they're discussing the explosion at the party we were at," Ai said, pointing with her fork.

"Earlier this evening, a murder had been successful. Apparently the culprit had already left the building as more than half had more or less escaped the building. Although there was a guest list and cameras guarding the front door, it was rather difficult to figure out who the real culprit is."

The video on screen began showing the crime scene and of where their two targets had just died on the ground.

"The two people on the floor had been poisoned while the two in the men's bathroom appeared to be killed by an expert, with a knife. Although the knife was not discovered at the crime scene, the police had narrowed down quite the variety of knives to down a couple..."


The news broadcast continued like that for several minutes before it changed stories. By then, Ai had finished eating and was now laying back into her couch and was watching the news with a blank expression.

Harlan started to feel a little pressure after he had dropped the knife. He knew that Ai was going to ask him what was on his mind, which was one of the things that he wasn't sure on himself. All that he knew of was that he has amnesia and something came up in his memory. Flashback? As she said that it was alright, Ai turned around and turned the screen TV on. She turned towards him, sharing a some-what awkward smile with him. "Do want to eat while sitting on the couch? I rarely actually sit formally at my dining table. You can bring the fruit over here."

Harlan agreed, bringing the fruit that he had cut himself. He watched as Ai took the food that was on the table to the makeshift table that she had made. Placing the fruit just in front of the plates, but not in the way of the meal. He sat down next to her and started to eat. The first mouthful was absolutely delicious, with him commenting on how good the food was. By then, he saw the news that was on the television.

"Earlier this evening, a murder had been successful. Apparently the culprit had already left the building as more than half had more or less escaped the building. Although there was a guest list and cameras guarding the front door, it was rather difficult to figure out who the real culprit is."

When the news changed, he finished his dinner and joined watching the rest of the news. After a few minutes, he turned his head towards her and placed his hand on hers. "Are you ok? What happened?" He wanted to make sure that she was alright from her breakdown a moment ago.

"Are you ok? What happened?"

Ai looked up and gave his hands a squeeze before smiling and then turning to face their hands. She sat up straight before she took a deep breathe.

"I guess I am, though not entirely," she said softly. "I don't know what had happened in your life but, when I was younger, my father and my mother both... had difficulties, especially in raising me. So they didn't... deserve that kind of death that they died and I only had remembered the emotions I had shoved aside that day, so that's kind of the reason why I just... broke down." Ai didn't want to mention the other parts of it, not yet. She had finally remembered the horrible nightmares that she always dreamed at night, especially since that was the reason why she shoved aside her emotions.

"Harlan, do you have amnesia?" she asked softly, looking up at him.

Harlan felt his hand being held in Ai's, which made him look down. Then, she began to speak, taking a deep breath before she started. "I guess I am, though not entirely. I don't know what had happened in your life but, when I was younger, my father and my mother both... had difficulties, especially in raising me. So they didn't... deserve that kind of death that they died and I only had remembered the emotions I had shoved aside that day, so that's kind of the reason why I just... broke down." For a while, Harlan remained silent, listening to her story. For all this time, he didn't know what she was holding back when they went on these missions. Now that he knew, he was in shock. It was worse than what has happened to him. If he could remember. Then, she spoke again, catching his attention again. "Harlan, do you have amnesia?"

In turn, he sighed. "I'm afraid that's true. I was diagnosed with it before I joined. The doctors told me that it had involved me being in a car accident, though how it came about was something that the police wanted to know. After that, the doctors have figured out what was wrong." He paused again, thinking back to when he was told about the accident. "It was only a rumour that had brought me to Gore Angels, since I have heard that the boss knew the secret to my past. 5 years later… I still haven't heard of anything. However… I have met someone great during those 5 years, which makes me want to leave those memories behind."

"Damien knows your past?" Ai asked incredulously. Damien knew Harlan...?!?! That would mean that Damien is hiding something from them from the start! That would also mean Damien would know more about their past than she had thought originally. Something suddenly felt suspicious about Damien...

"However… I have met someone great during those 5 years, which makes me want to leave those memories behind."

"What? Who?" she asked, snapping out of her thoughts. "But memories are..." she flinched, "precious, no matter if they are painful... because their your memories... I should know, my father... had lost a portion of his memories..."

Harlan nodded his head. "I don't know how he knows me, but he knows something that I want to find out. For most of the time, I wondered if this rumour was true or not." He sighed, coming to the realization that he would never know his past. Curling his hand into a fist, he gritted his teeth and thought hard. "At this rate, I will never know what the hell happened to me." However, before he could become encased in anger, Ai spoke to him.

"What? Who?" she asked, snapping out of her thoughts. "But memories are..." she flinched, "precious, no matter if they are painful... because their your memories... I should know, my father... had lost a portion of his memories..."

"That's the problem… How can I try and remember those memories if they keep eluding me every time I try to find them." He paused, realizing that he had said something that he shouldn't have told Ai. Sighing, he looked deep into Ai's eyes. He might as well say something now. "As for this person I am talking about… I'm talking about you."

"I don't know how he knows me, but he knows something that I want to find out. For most of the time, I wondered if this rumour was true or not."

"Then that would mean he has something on you, probably, in the GA database, the portion that only Damien has records of," Ai said thoughtfully. She wasn't sure, but it was worth a check now, after all, the database had been something she hadn't checked in awhile anyway.

"That's the problem… How can I try and remember those memories if they keep eluding me every time I try to find them."

"Didn't you remember something just then in the kitchen... before you started cutting the fruit?" Ai asked, frowning slightly. "What do you remember so far... at least?" Harlan seemed to Ai that he's lost more than half of his life's memories, far more than that of her father and her father had lost a significant few.

"As for this person I am talking about… I'm talking about you."

She again was snapped out of her thoughts as her back straightened suddenly, looking directly at Harlan's face for a moment before her face flushed crimson as she looked down. Her heart fluttered against her chest, and she could now feel the sparks hitting the air, especially where he held her hands. She could feel his eyes on her and she blushed harder. She couldn't figure out what to say... it was the first time in so long that she felt like a high school student all over again.

"I... I..." she stuttered, unable to be sure of what to say. Her heart was pounding so hard against her chest, she hoped to whatever was up there, for Harlan not to hear it.

"Then that would mean he has something on you, probably, in the GA database, the portion that only Damien has records of."

Harlan looked at her, thinking of the possible idea that the files in the database would have something to unlock his past or try to help him remember. The more he thought on the idea, the more he thought that it was certain that his file had a lot of info on him, excluding his 5 years in service. "I just hope you're right, Ai… I really don't want my past to keep eluding me forever." I just hope that those damned files were there, he thought, hoping that the news of his past being in his profile were true. I really want this damned rollercoaster ride to end now.

"Didn't you remember something just then in the kitchen... before you started cutting the fruit? What do you remember so far... at least?"

She has asked that question,
he thought, thinking back to her uncertain answer to his excuse on dropping the knife. Slowly, he thought about what he could remember. Finally, once the idea was in his mind, he spoke about it. "I am not sure if this is true or not. I was driving a car, though what it was is something I vaguely recognize. There was… a woman sitting in the passenger side. I think she might have known me, but the relation between us is something I am not sure on. However, something happened, forcing us off the road. That's all I could remember from that time before I was cutting the fruit."

As he mentioned her being the person that had made him think on giving up looking for his memories, he saw her blush again. However, unlike the blush that he was used to in missions, she was in a different shade of red. Something that made him blush slightly. During the time that he had stared at her, she blushed harder. The idea of possible embarrassment had made him blush in a slightly deeper shade of red. Then, she spoke to him, feeling her heartbeat in his hand. "I... I..."

Gently, he lifted his other hand and touched the side of her reddened face. Once he had done that, he slowly moved his head forward.

"As long as you remember that memory, maybe more would come," Ai said thoughtfully. "It's possible that your memories will come at once or one at a time, depending on what had happened that made you lose your memories, so my theory goes." Her father had remembered his memories one at a time before her mother had remembered and said a single word before her father remembered some more. When they went to visit where his images were concerned, he had suddenly remembered everything to the point where he fainted. Luckily, their hotel had been nearby.

She was too busy worrying about him not hearing her heartbeat that she wasn't aware of what was flickering across Harlan's face.

However, her heart raced more than it had been before as his hand touched her cheek. Without knowing what she was doing, she closed her eyes half-way and greeted his lips with fireworks as her eyes closed. The sudden vivid fireworks that exploded in her mouth and behind her eye-lids were so... different. Releasing his hands, her arms wrapped around his neck and her fingers curled into his hair, pulling him closer and wanting to go deeper into the kiss.
