C1 - Wake Up

Where... Where am I? the small blonde asked sluggishly, blinking her eyes open. I don't remember...anything.

She sat, rubbing her eyes. She seemed to be in a populated place--she was actually getting a lot of strange looks from passers-by--leaning against a stone pillar. She looked up and saw a statue perched atop the short pillar.

Statue of Hachiko.

The words formed themselves in her mind, calling up several images that made her head pound.

A slightly muscular blonde boy carrying a skateboard. A brown-haired girl wearing glasses, carrying a stuffed cat. A red/pink-haired girl with a smile on her face. An orange-haired boy, headphones hanging off his neck. Finally, an ashen-haired boy with a smug smile on his face, but looked genuinely amused.

This last image made her heart skip a beat.

She was surprised. Are they...people I know? Is the last boy...someone important to me?

She stood up on shaky legs. They hold the key to unlocking who I am. That much, she was sure. She started walking, aimlessly, absentmindedly, recalling those people she "remembered" again and again.

A breeze blew past. She cocked her head to its direction. I could've sworn there was a presence right there... She looked left and right, then, finding no one she knew, shrugged it off and continued on her way.

After a moment, she felt a hand on her shoulder.

"Were you just going to ignore me, dear?" She heard a small giggle as she turned around to face whoever it was.

It's that boy! That boy...who...made my heart pound... He had that small smug grin again. She blushed faintly as she thought of her little reminiscence.

She pulled herself together. "Excuse me, but I don't think I know you..."

The boy looked shocked for a minute. He didn't release his hold on her shoulder. Then he smiled again.

"Pardon me. I though you were someone I knew." He giggled again, but his eyes held the slightest trace of apprehension. "Allow me to introduce myself. Yoshiya Kiryu, at your service."

"Oh, um... Hello..." She wondered why he was talking to her in the first place.

"Might I ask your name?" He raised an eyebrow, finally releasing his grip on her.

Wait... I don't remember my name...! She searched frantically in the recesses of her mind.

Rhyme.

And there was the answer. She smiled at the Yoshiya boy slightly and said, "Rhyme. That's me." She laughed a bit nervously.

"Pleased to meet you," he said. "You seem to be lost, though. Where are you headed?"

"Uh... I'm going to, um... WildKat! ...Yes, I'm going to WildKat." She told him the first thing that entered her mind. Wow, it seemed these flashes came more easily.

"Perfect." Yoshiya winked. "That's where I'm headed. Care to accompany me?"

She--Rhyme--debated with herself for a moment before answering. "Sure." After all, she didn't really know the way.

And this boy might be able to help her with her memory.
