That night, Mizuki tucked herself in, ready to sleep. Today had been a bit long yet fun. She didn't remember the three of them.. but she still had fun. Even if Akito wasn't there, she knew that he would have been glad she had fun at all. As she closed her eyes to sleep, her mind drifted off to dream...

All around her, every thing was white. She turned around, as if expecting to see or find something. Soon enough, an old person appeared before her. She seemed old fashion, yet Mizuki recognized her right away. Before Mizuki could say anything, the woman pulled out a white, colorful pearl. "Mizuki... my dear niece.. It is time I returned something very dear to you as promised because that time has come..." She said.
"Auntie Hana.." She said. She took a step forward and knelt down on one knee before her. "Let it be done then."
Her aunt nodded as she stepped forward as well, letting the pearl go into her head. As this happened, Mizuki's eyes widened and started flooding in tears. Each and every forgotten memory come running back to her. Young Miyako's smile. Young Takeshi's goofy grin. Young Shinobu's cool poses and everything else that flooded to her mind as she slowly, yet quickly remembered. "Minna*..." She said, tears were overflowing, even as she woke up, crying out tears.

"I'm so sorry..." She sat up in the darkness, letting her tears out. The full moon was shining down on her from the window by her bed. She wiped her face and glanced out the window, seeing a sillhouette of a boy. She took a breath and opened her window to come out and meet him. As she came close, she saw that it was Shinobu. The two of them were silent for a while. "Shinobu.. I'm so sorry. I've been hurting you all this time, haven't I?" She asked, her face all sad.
He looked at her in surprise. "Mizuki.. You remember everything now?"
She nodded. That was all that was needed. He hugged her close, not letting go. "Welcome back.. I've been waiting for you to come back all this time..."
She silently cried on his shoulders, wishing she hadn't been so selfish. He soothed her hair, trying to calm her down. His eyes glanced at the full moon, having to see her aunt's ghost smiling upon them. 'Arigato**..' he thought to himself.

*Minna - Everyone
**Arigato - Thank you
