[i]Yes, of course I remember...[/i]  she wanted to honestly say it, really, she did.  But as she looked at all of the apprehensive faces around her, she just stammered, "I-I...  I'm sorry, you all seem very nice, but...  I don't..."  She said solemnly, looking down, "I don't... really remember anything at all."

[i]That's not true!  Alex, Suto...  Nero, Kenshin, guys...  Make her remember![/i]  A voice nagged at the back of her head, but she couldn't make it out, she didn't know what it was saying as she looked to all of the faces around her.  She wanted to say something, but she wasn't quite sure what.  Nero was the first one to speak up, being the always-present voice of reason.

The material hunter cleared his throat and stepped forward, "Something is clearly off here...  Let's regroup - we'll find a small, quiet tavern in the next city and sit down to talk about it, okay?"

Yari, still rather dumbfounded, nodded, "Y-yeah, maybe I just need to recollect and it'll come back..."

Fitch was still speechless as he stared at the floor.  The group began to move, even Kenshin and Alphard walked with them.  Fitch kept glancing at his hand, then at Yari's, but it was hardly noticeable as he visibly shook.  Nervous was a word rarely, if ever, used to describe him and suddenly he was an absolute wreck.  [i]She has to...[/I]  Those that weren't so absorbed in themselves would notice the glares that Nero was receiving from nearly every person they walked by.

Once they were all settled in a small inn, eyes were again on Yari, who had walked there slightly detached from the group.  Rather than one of the small rooms, Nero took a suite, which was an absolutely massive room with a common area and a few beds in the dorms off the side.  Expensive? Yes, but it was usually meant for a party to split the price.  The common room was a large, round space with more than enough seating, it had its own kitchenette attached as well.  Yuna made herself right at home - figuring it might be good to have something for everybody to eat.  It wouldn't be long before the room was full of amazing smells, despite the conversation they were about to have.

Nero looked at Yari, "So... you don't remember anything at all?" He finally asked as everybody tried to figure out how to start.

She shook her head, "I don't remember any[i]body...[/i] at least."

Nero furrowed his brow, "So... you know this is a video game, right?"

"I'd hardly call it that at this point...  Considering I also know I almost died for real today.  I just don't know anybody here..."  She looked apologetically to Fitch and Suto, a small frown on her face.  "I want to...  But there's nothing there..."  [i]That's not true, you love him...[/i]  That nagging voice called again, but Yari still didn't hear it, it was just another frustrating thought she couldn't reach.  Like there was something she wanted to say, and it was right there, but she forgot it the moment she thought of it.

Fitch stood up suddenly, "How could you forget?"  He finally asked, his voice laced with hurt and anger and frustration...  His clenched fists trembled.

She flinched and stared at him, rubbing the back of her neck, "I'm sorry...  But I don't know what you want me to do..."

He watched her, "But...  I...  We...  We're married, how could you?"  He asked, completely forgetting that it was something of a secret from Suto.
