Old, Decaying Wargrounds

She looked away, still embarrassed. "Sorry...." she said.

Kotaro didn't know what to say. “Uhh... Yeah...” Kotaro scratched the back of his head, his face still red. “Well...this is awkward.”

Tosh played with her blanket nodding. "Indeed."

Kotaro shook his head. “Kinda...strange. But I have seen stranger.” He hit himself on the head. “I'm so stupid. But Tosh... why did you think that would help?” He was embarresed by the question, but it had bugged him.

Tosh kept playing with her blanket. "I just thought it would help you....gah!" she said hiding under the blanket. She didn't know why as well.

Kotaro stared at Tosh as she went uunder the blanket. “Well, it did, although I don't know why.” Kotaro began to remove the blanket from over Tosh. This is so confusing. Why don't I under stand these feelings!

Tosh looked up at Kotaro as he removed the blanket, still blushing. "Hm..." she said sitting up.

Kotaro chuckled. “Well, my guess is your as confused as I am right?” Kotaro shook his head. “Well, I guess I owe you this.” He quickly kissed her then stood up, practicaly running for the door his face red. Why did I just do that?

Tosh stared at Kotaro as he ran, her entire face a cherry red. She held her burning cheeks, looking down. "Oh my...." she stuttered.

Kotaro closed the door behind him and rested against the wall. “Why did I do that?” Kotaro shook his head furiously. “Why did I kiss her? Why did she kiss me? What the hell is going on?” Kotaro covered his face with his hands. He was so confused.

Will was stumbling through the forest, confused, and surprised at what his grandparents- no, what the memory said.

"This is your memory Will, no one else's. But thats only because your the only Hawthorne alive. All your friends that joined you in here? They can not, and will not remember anything that happened in here. Only you will. You can tell them, but they won't remember a single thing. Not even events between each other. They will wake up where the book was, thinking they were knocked out.

Only you can remember everything that happens here"

So, Kotaro being tortured, Tosh being stolen, everything. Even Leon would forget everything here.

"So..... is this all pointless.......?"

Kotaro heard someone walking through the forest. He stood up and loked closer. A figure was approaching. Kotaro took a step forward. “Zergio!” He ran up to him, stopping a couple feet away. “Zergio, can i tell you something?”

"Sure....." Is all Will said. Not like Kotaro would remember it......

Kotaro struggled trying to find what to say. “Well...you see... uhhmmm...” Kotaro finally couldn't control himself. “I think I am in love with Tosh!” Hit himself in the head right after he said it, just to keep from being embarrased

Will blinked a couple times. This shock was greater. Sure, Kotaro won't remember telling him that, but still. Will shook his head. Should he be cupid, or should he let it develop naturally after this was done? Ether way, he did have to tell Kotaro something.

"Kotaro, im happy for you and all that, but we got to get within range of the alchemy. Its the portal out of here. It will only happen once, and if anyone remains behind, they will be trapped here, till I die."

Kotaro didn't ask where or how Zergio knew that, he just ran straight to Tosh. “Tosh! We gotta go! We found our ticket out of here.” Kotaro ran back outside, running to a tree. He transmuted it to paper and a charcoal pencil. After he wrote a message on it, he ran to Zergio. “You've known her longer, please, give this to her. I just can't. Its a message for her eyes only.”

Will shook his head, refusing the request.

"All will be forgotten when we get out of here. Since this is my memory, you can't make it your own. You won't remember telling me this, you won't remember being tortured. You won't even remember being here. Only I will remember what happened here."

Kotaro's heart skipped a beat. “You mean me and Tosh won't...” He trailed off, tears on the verge of forming. He wiped his eyes the looked at Zergio. “Fine, read the note, and when we get outta here, I want you to tell her it. I can't miss this chance. I may never get these feelings again.” Kotaro walked away from Zergio, his hands in his pockets.


The note read:

Tosh, we have known eachother for a while. You have saved my life and I have saved yours. Through all this, I have grown fond of you. I may never get to say this again, I'm to stupid to tell you in person. But here it is. I love you. WITH THAT out of the way, I gotta know, what do you think of me? Any answer, I'll remain by your side.
Till the time comes,
Kotaro

Will placed his hand on Kotaro's shoulder.

"Your feelings for each other won't disappear. Though the experience will, you two will eventually get together, because you won't forget your feelings for her. You had them before all this. Even if I don't tell her, you will end up confessing again.

Love is a feeling you can't forget. You can erase memories, but you can't erase feelings."

“I really hope your right.” Kotaro said. He walked over to a fallen log. “Still, you think you could help me see it once were out of here?”

Will slowly walked away.

"I won't be your cupid. I'll give you your message, and thats all. That'll be enough for you to realize your feelings."

Kotaro smiled. “Thats all I'll need.” He began to walk toward Tosh. “Wheres the blast gonna be?”

Will hesitated for a second.

"All over the battle field."

“So also this building. Me and Tosh will wait for it here.” Kotaro walked back inside the building, a smile stuck on his face.

Tosh waited around on the bed, scratching her shoulder constantly, where she was injected with the fluid.
