Ae Rin opened the door of the room where Kyou was resting and found him gulping down little slices of apple.
"Oh, you're back! Forgot something?" Kyou asked casually as he grabbed another slice of apple and gulped it down.
"What..?" He asked again after noticing her stern expression.
"What the...? Did she find out something?! But that's not possible!" He could only think of one reason why she had come again.
She approached him and sat on the chair near the bed. She took a deep breath and asked,
"You know about me, right?"
"I knew this was coming...." He thought to himself disappointedly.
Her expression had already tensed the atmosphere and now, it was worse.
Kyou could feel his heart hammering against his chest.
After a few moments of silence, he spoke up.
"What do you mean? Obviously I know you. Everyone here does!" He tried to shove it off with a laugh as quickly as possible but there still was a hint of guilt in his eyes.
Regardless of what he said, Ae Rin didn't seem to believe it.
"Answer me for god's sake! You know what I am, right?" Her expression hardened.
"What if I do?" He asked.
"I knew it....how much do you know?" She sighed disappointedly.
"That you're a demon and want to kill me. That's all I know." He looked away and replied.
"WHAT?! Who told you that I want to kill you?" Ae Rin stood up in shock.
"A voice. And you agree that you're a demon, Miss Ae Ri- I mean...Miss Servia Aamon." He replied sarcastically.
"You-....Ok fine, I agree that I am a demon but I would never want to kill you. Trust me, please!" She pleaded with him.
"And what proof do you have?" He scoffed.
"I have the proof." She replied as she placed her index and middle finger over Kyou's forehead, "I might not be able to return your memories back, but atleast I can show you everything."
A bright orange light illuminated from her fingers and all of a sudden, everything went black.
The next moment, Kyou opened his eyes to find himself floating in a void surrounded by all the memories of his previous life.
Kyou opened his eyes in shock and gasped. He was back in the room and saw Ae Rin lifting her fingers off his forehead.
"W-What in the world was that?!"
"Those were the memories of your previous life. I think you get it now why you always have dreams about a certain girl." She smiled.
"It was you...why didn't you tell me all of this before?" He asked curiously.
"I didn't want you to get involved with them again. I couldn't risk your life AGAIN...." She looked down at her feet regretfully.
Here she thought he would start yelling at her, but....
"Could you show me some of your powers?" He looked at her enthusiastically.
"Huh?" Startled, she looked up to meet his eyes; they were sparkling enthusiastically.
He was eagerly waiting to see it, atleast that's what it seemed like.
"You've changed a LOT. When I showed you my powers for the first time, I was scared that I would have to attend your funeral the next day." She smirked.
"W-Was I such a scaredy - cat back then?" His face was beet red in embarrassment.
