Chapter 95 - Something's Wrong

'We're back!' Rem thought happily.

Rem let Karasu do whatever it wanted. Roy was, as always, next to Rem.

'It's been a while. I wonder if Yukino has woken up yet? I'll check up on her after I report back to Nor.'

Rem went to a dark, non-crowded alleyway.

"Nor, come out." Rem said sternly.

She could sense Nor's presence from the first step she took inside the city.

"Ah, I can never hide from you..." Nor shook his head as he sighed in disappointment.

"I've completed the mission. There are a few things to report. First, their base has an underground system. Second, they're creating creatures. The creatures look like large, green lizards that can walk on two feet. They're also pretty muscular. The bad news is, the largest and most powerful-looking creature escaped. I'm not sure about who created these creatures but I know that the Organization is involved in this. That's all." Rem reported.

"Thanks and good work. Now I have to report this back to our guild master. Don't forget, if you need anything, just ask away." Nor grinned, immediately leaving by disappearing in the shadows.

'That's completed. Time to check up on the twins!' Rem thought, running towards the academy at full speed.

Roy followed Rem, catching up to her.

The onlookers only saw two black dashes. Confused, they went back o what they were doing, wondering what the black dashes were. Some even thought they were hallucinating.

"You finally woke up! I'm so glad..!"

Yukio was holding Yukino's hand the whole time she was unconscious. He didn't sleep or eat anything ever since the day Yukino was taken away. Yukino looked at Yukio coldly and slapped Yukio's hand off of hers. When Rem arrived, she barged into the infirmary while Roy waited outside. Rem stared at the twins who didn't look too pleased. The atmosphere was awkward and intense.

'Erm...'

Rem awkwardly stood there, seeing a shocked and sad Yukio. Rem glanced at Yukino.

'What's up with Yukino? Is it because she just woke up? What happened..?'

"You alright?" Rem asked, concerned for both Yukino and Yukio.

"Who are you two?" Yukino asked, looking at Rem and Yukio cautiously.

"You don't remember me? I'm Yukio! Your one and only twin brother..." Yukio croaked, sounding hurt.

'003, didn't you say there wasn't anything wrong with Yukino?'

{Nothing's wrong with her.}

'Then why is she acting like this? She doesn't remember me or Yukio.'

{She's pretending to not remember anything.}

'How do you know?'

{I know because there's nothing wrong with her. At least the system doesn't detect that anything's wrong with her.}

'Why is she acting then? Something definitely happened back at that building. I don't know what happened though... For now, I can't do anything. If she wants to pretend, then I'll let her pretend. I mean, she's a little suspicious but she must have her reasons to act the way she does now. Yukino's not the type to act recklessly.' Rem thought, trusting Yukino.

"Yukio, you should rest now. Get yourself together. We'll find a way to get her memories back." Rem stated, patting Yukio's back.

"After she spends more time with us, she will remember us someday." Rem consoled Yukio.

"I'll go find the others and tell them that Yukino woke up." Rem suggested, leaving the infirmary.

'003, show me where Karina and Kaito is.' Rem ordered.

Without saying anything, the map appeared in front of Rem and two large dots were shown on the map.

{If you tap on the dots, you can see who it is.}

'Alright, thanks.'

Rem tapped on one of the white dots.

'Hm... Karina's in her dorm room. Kaito's near the academy. I'll go get Karina first since she's closer.'

Rem walked towards Karina's dorm room. When she got there, she knocked on the door. Footstep could be heard as the door opened.

"Oh, Remie! Long time no see." Karina smiled, greeting Rem.

"Good afternoon. You know that Yukino got kidnapped, right?" Rem asked, making sure Karina knew.

"Wait, she did??! Is she alright??? Just wha—"

Before Karina started to panic, Rem interrupted her.

"She's physically alright. She couldn't remember anything after waking up." Rem explained.

"What??? Where is she?" Karina asked impatiently.

"She's at the infirmary." Rem replied.

"I'm going to the infirmary to see her right now..!" Karina rushed to the infirmary, running past Rem without saying goodbye.

'I said she was alright though... Oh well. To Kaito!' Rem walked towards where Kaito was.

...

'Where is he?' Rem wondered.

She has been trying to find Kaito for over five minutes already.

"Kaito?" Rem asked, searching for him.

Rem's currently in the streets that didn't have anyone there.

'How odd... Why isn't anyone here?'

Suddenly, Kaito showed himself and walked out from behind a building.

'How did I not sense him..?' Rem became alerted.

'First Yukino, now Kaito. Something's wrong!'
