"Oh ! Look there she is . "Takemichi and Mr. Takahashi arrived. Inoue was still unconscious." Inoue get up! Why is her dress torn ? whose coat is this? And why is she here ? Inoue...! Inoue wake up" While he was trying to wake her up, many questions arose in his mind. Mr. Takahashi was looking around. His eyes were searching for Minamoto. He was sure that something must have happened to him. Because of what Daruma was not there too. "Get up Inoue..." Takemichi raised his voice.
"Do not go! Don't leave me alone again. Please let me be with you forever. Wait... who am I begging to be with? Who is it without whom I cannot survive on my own? Why can't I remember anything? His name ? Who is he?" Inoue was dreaming of herself of requesting someone to be with her forever. She was surrounded by darkness. She was crying while sitting on her knees. There was no one else except her. "Inoue..." Takemichi shouted her name out loud. Then she woke up, opening her eyes slowly. " Inoue are you okay? Can you tell us why you are here? Why are your clothes torn? "Takemichi was so concerned for her that he asked a ton of questions in one breath. Let her get up properly, I think she still isn't feeling well" said Mr. Takahashi, striking his head from the back. "No, I have no clue how I got here. And why am I in such a condition. I know nothing." Inoue patted her head, as it was aching a lot. Takemichi was in a great dilemma, even Mr. Takahashi was stunned to see her in that state. "Wait...I don't know why but I saw someone smiling and crying at the same time. I have no idea who he could be " She frowned. After hearing Inoue Mr. Takahashi doubted. Minamoto might have erased her memories but he wasn't sure. "Miss, Inoue everything is fine . That's good . But what about Minamoto? Where is he now?" So, he asked for a proper confirmation. Minamoto? her eyes widened as she heard this name, but she was unable to remember him . So she questioned back "Who is he ? And why are you asking me about this guy sir? " "Yes ! Who is he ? I'm also hearing this name for the first time ." He was already surprised to hear Inoue's answer, and now this Takemichi too. "It means that he left this place and went back to the bunny land ? " he grumbled to himself. But why are you asking about this guy ? Takemichi questioned. "Sorry, I asked the wrong question!" . "Oh! Alright" as he replied to Mr. Takahashi. "Let's go, you're still not looking okay . And there Sato is not well either." He turned to Inoue. "What happened to Sato?" She stood up in amazement and her feet trembled. "I don't remember anything, but she may have slipped down the stairs, that's what Mr. Takahashi told me when we were coming here " What ? Then let's hurry, I want to meet her." They were about to leave but Mr.Takahashi said "kids ! You both go I will be back soon. I have some important work to do. I just remembered." They nodded and ran away quickly leaving him behind "I have to find out the reason for his sudden departure. That Daruma, I am sure he must have done something". He spoke to himself in mind .
Minamoto was staring at his phone while standing on the bridge connecting two roads. An eagle came flying and sat over his shoulder. It seemed as if it had brought a message " That means now Ichika is fine" After talking to that eagle he murmured, nodding his head. When he came to know that Inoue is in safe hands. He continued his journey. And that bird again flew away.
At school...
"Sato..." With Takemichi, Inoue entered Miss.Tamiko's nurse's office. When they arrived. They saw her sitting on the bed with the support of a pillow. Smiling and talking to Miss. Iumi, Hina including the Sakura's. And all of a sudden. She noticed Inoue and Takemichi standing at the door. "Inoue are you okay?" she asked shouting "" Sato you just regained your consciousness. Don't behave like an idiot.," Hina yelled. Then she angrily turned to Inoue and stood up. Inoue was horrified to see her raging face. She went close to her and stared at her for a few moments, slowly two streams began to fall down her eyes. She jumped on her and hugged her very tightly "Where have you been till now? Don't you know how worried I get when you're not around? Don't go anywhere without telling us again, otherwise I'll never talk to you anymore" "Hina! I'm sorry I won't do this again." She said with a soft smile on her face. As Hina got up of her. She heeded her dress in a real pathetic state. And why is your dress torn? ? Are you alright? Has anything happened to you?" "No, I'm fine I haven't got any scratches, but I don't know how it got torn like this. And whose coat is it?"."Yeah, she doesn't remember anything," Takemichi said. "I think you should take rest," Yui opined from their back . She really scared him out of his wits "Wait... why are you here? And why are you worrying for Inoue." She's our friend now. Not only her but the whole Sakura group. She helped us to manage the audience after Inoue went missing. But it's true that now we are friends" said Hina. Takemichi was surprised to know that, yet he took it lightly "Okay if you say so. But right now I want to talk to Sato in private. Can I talk to her alone ? " Takemichi asked. Upon hearing this, Sato shied . "Okay! I guess we should go. After all the two love birds want some space, right girls?" Miss Iumi cackled. "We're not love birds. I just want to talk to her about something. Well, if you want to stay here, you can . But don't make fun of us," Takemichi shouted at Miss, Iumi, as his cheeks reddened. "No! No! We don't want to bother you both. let's go girls and Inoue, come with me I'll give you some clothes to wear." "Okay" she nodded. Then they all went away smiling. Takemichi turned to face Sato. and sat next to her. They were both blushing and sat silently for a while "Genji, you wanted to talk to me about something, right? What was it?" Suddenly Sato queried looking down . "Oh! Sorry I forgot to ask. She really created an awkward situation. Still, forget what she said. And listen to me." Takemichi tried to create a comfortable atmosphere for both of them and calmed himself. "Do you remember how you fell down the stairs?" "Stairs?" Sato was astonished to hear that question "Yes, you fell down the stairs, didn't you. That's what Mr. Takahashi told me" "No, I don't remember slipping down the stairs. But ever since I got up .Someone's creepy face is constantly appearing in front of my eyes . And it's really scary." she replied "Someone's face?" Her words really astounded him.
"Ta-da Inoue look here, its beautiful. isn't it ? just wear it ! It will look great on you " Miss, Iumi showed her a strange sleeveless dress that looked like a swimsuit. (Everyone's face turned red upon imagining Inoue in that suit) "It Has a modern design. And do you know who is its designer? It's..." "Of course we know it's you. Stop showing it like this in front of us all." Hina's face was red so she shouted and took the dress away from her hands. "Inoue take this, put on your uniform. The ceremony is finally over. You can wear whatever you want." "Thanks, Hina." Inoue showed her generosity and went inside the changing room.
"She hurt my feelings again...she doesn't care about me" Miss, Iumi murmured in despair as she sat in the corner. Hina marked her "Stop being a drama queen again ! It was all your fault. Who told you to present an outfit that looked like a swimsuit to Inoue ?" "It's not a swimsuit. It's a designer dress "she sighed in despair . "Ah! I'm pissed off by this old hag" she really annoyed her...
After changing her clothes, she marked off that coat. She didn't know why? But that coat really drew her attention. when she picked it up. she felt a kind of warmth and sadness at the same time. Hina came entered the room to check on her . "Inoue, if you're done, can we go to Sato ? She said that she would come with us. because she is feeling better now " Yes, I'm done." she picked up her bag and was about to step outside the room when Hina asked stopping her from behind "Wait, are you taking that coat with you too?" Inoue looked at the coat she was holding in her left hand and replied "Yes, I will wash it and if I find its true owner, I will immediately hand it over to him. I should thank him, right? " "Okay, as you wish, ma'am" Hina replied grinning. Then they went to Sato and Takemichi. They all decided to walk together till they reach their respective homes. Miss. Iumi had to help Miss. Lisa so she stopped there. Takemichi himself went home because he had his bike with him. Inoue thought it would be right to take her bike by foot to join Sato and Hina. They were talking, laughing as if nothing had ever happened. In the middle of their conversation, the moon caught Inoue's attention . Her eyes gleamed "Wow its so, beautiful" she said to herself in mind and kept on staring at it .
