Previously:
In the past, Mara had a special relationship Sebastian, which Kai, Mara’s current lover, didn’t had a single clue about it. Well basically, it’s all because she hasn’t told him about it. She feared that if she did tell him about it, he would become angry at her. She really didn’t want that to happen. So, in order to tell him nicely about it, she asked him to go to a festival. Unfortunately, an accident happened. Mara has been crashed by a glass in attempt to protect Kai from it at the festival.
Now let’s continue our story.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kai: *suddenly awakened* NO! Mara-chan! Are you okay?! Please tell me you’re okay! *really worried*
Mara: … *fell into Kai’s arms*
Kai: Mara-chan, Mara-chan! Hang in there! *he cleans the glasses remain from her hair*
*Then the crowds began to gather there, whispering about this accident, while some were asking Kai repeatedly about Mara’s condition*
Kai: Everyone, I’d appreciate your concern. I’m sorry if I sound rude to you, but can you all please leave us alone?
*With a slight of worried & curiosity in their whispering voices the crowds were dismissed successfully*
Kai: Mara-chan, please be okay… You have no wounds, but still… *he had ‘worry’ written all over his face*
Mara: … *open eyes slowly* Eh? *look up to Kai’s face, feeling confused, & judging by her appearance, no single wounds inflicted because of the hit* Wh…?

Kai: *surprised* M, Mara-chan? You okay?! Oh thank god! *feeling relieved a little*
Mara: *blinks* …Is… Mara my name?
Kai: Well yes, you are Mara. Mara Dee. Oh please Mara-chan, don’t joke around. *began to worry again*
Mara : I seeo my name is Mara Dee… & people call me Mara… *nods to self* Oh, um… who…are you? Where is this place?
Kai : Mara-chan? at happened with you?
Mara: Eh? Was something really wrong just happened to me?
Kai: Well yeah! A glass just crashed into you earlier!
Mara: ….Glass? Why am I not bleeding from it?
Kai  I wish I know that!
Mara : Oh I s… So, um… who are you exactly?
Kai: Mara-chan, you… *sighs* You lost your memories, don’t you? Okay then, let me introduce myself all over again. *begin to smile* My name is Kai Akimoto. Nice to meet you.
Mara : …Nice meet you, Akimoto-san. *smiles like an innocent child*
Kai: Uhh… *he hugs me* You’re so cute!
Mara: *blushes* W, w, what is this???
Kai: *let go* It’s nothing. *smiles gently*

Mara: Oh… *realized that she’s in his arm from the time she woke up, she blushed a little then stood up* S, sorry. *then she sits next to Kai* So… where are we?
Kai: We’re in an annual festival that held every week on Sunday. You brought me here.
Mara: I did?
Kai: Yes you did. … & you said you wanted to say something to me here…
Mara: Say something? Like what?
Kai: I don’t know, before it happened, you said that it’s about you &… Sebastian. … Um, do you still remember what you’re going to say to me somehow?
Mara: Really? I said that? I can’t remember anything though…
Kai: Yeah, figures. *sighs*
Mara: Nee, who’s Sebastian?
Kai: Oh him. His name is Sebastian Michaelis &… …You’ll know him when we arrived at home later.
Mara: Home?
Kai: Yes, to the Phantomhive mansion.
Mara: Wow, a mansion?! So, Akimoto-san, are you like, a billionaire??
Kai: Well um, it’s not me, but… Ah, it’s kinda hard to explain… *scratches head, seem troubled* That mansion… it belongs to Ciel.
Mara: Ciel? Who’s that?
Kai: He’s an Earl. He’s the head of the Phantomhive household.
Mara: I see… Okay then, let’s go home!
Kai: Oh one more thing, please just call me ‘Kai’.
Mara: I’m allowed to call you by your first name?
Kai: Yeah, of course, because you’re… *fell into silence*
Mara: I’m what?
Kai: Oh, no, forget it. You’ll remember it later.
Mara: Alright then, Kai-kun. *smiles*
Kai: Well, let’s go home.

Then me & this Kai guy left the festival. & when we arrived at the front gate of the place called ‘home’… …No kidding. Kai wasn’t joking about saying it ‘mansion’. Judging this place, I can even call it a castle…

Mara: … This… is home? *amazed*
Kai: Yes. Let’s go in.
*Then we enter the front gate & walked the front yard*
Mara: Whoa… what a beautiful place… Is this ‘Ciel’ person really lives in a place like this?
Kai: Yes, he is living in here.
Mara: Mm~ Oh nee, how’s this ‘Ciel’ look like?
Kai: Eh? How? Hm… *thinks* He’s like… a small boy.
Mara: *tilts head* A small boy?
Kai: Yeah, he’s 12 after all.
Mara: Wow, really? A 12 years old boy became an Earl? The world sure is amazing,
Kai: Yeah I know.
*Then we enter the grand front door*
Mara: *amazed* Whoa… what an amazing house…
Kai: I know that.
Kaye: *she spotted us while she walks upstairs. * Ah! *then she quickly went downstairs* Mara-chan, Nii-san!
Mara: *goes to Kai’s back* Who’s that girl, Kai?
Kai: Oh, her? She’s my sister, Kaye-chan.
Mara: Kaye-chan?
Kai: Yes, Kaye-chan.
Kaye: Welcome back, you two! *she greets us happily*
Mara: *coming out slowly* U, um… thanks, I guess…
Kaye: ‘I guess’? You never said that before. *piercing eye gaze towards Kai* Nii-sama! What have you done to her?!
Kai: I, I didn’t do anything to her, okay!
Kaye: O yeah? But she acted differently than usual. Something must’ve happened to her earlier!
Ciel: *suddenly appears upstairs* What’s with all the ruckus?
Kai: Oh, Mara-chan, that’s Ciel. *pointing at him*
Mara: That’s… the Earl you were talking about? Wow, what a tiny Earl!
Ciel: Why do you have to say― *palmface* Do you want to pick a fight with me, huh, Mara? *irritated gaze*
Mara: *goes to Kai’s back again* I, I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to mock you…
Kai: Don’t worry, Mara-chan, Ciel won’t bite you.
Ciel: What do you mean ‘bite’? Do you think that I am some kind of a small insect?! *glanced at me* Ah… but. *goes downstairs* You seemed quite odd for some reason, Mara. Has something happened to you? *approaching me*
Kai: Well… to be honest, she’s just―

Sebastian: *shouted from nowhere* BARD! Look what you have done to the kitchen! Clean this mess quickly! I will check up on you in an hour again & I want it to be spotless, you hear?! *then suddenly showed up on the way to hallway* Oh goodness… is every servant of this house― *notices the crowds* Oh, Mara-san & Kai-sama! *approaching then bows when he’s in front of us* Ah, welcome back. *smiles*
Ciel: wow, what a loud cry you just did, Sebastian.
Sebastian: Oh, I am very sorry, Bocchan. Did I really shout my voice that loud?
Ciel: Yeah, you did.
Sebastian: Oh, I am very sorry, Bocchan, forgive me.
Kai: So, Mara-chan, this is Sebastian Michaelis, the butler of this house.
Sebastian: Eh? What do you mean by saying that introduction sentence to her? She already knew me, right Mara-san? *smiles to me* But why are you hiding on his back like that, though?
Mara: …So… you’re Michaelis-san… *comes out from Kai’s back, then approaching Sebastian* Whoa, mister, you’re so tall…
Sebastian: ‘mister’? Mara-san, it is me, Sebastian. Do you not recognize me? & why are you calling me by my last name?
Mara: I’m sorry, but I can’t remember a thing about you… & because of that, I have to call you by your last name because I didn’t feel I ever know you nor even got close to you… Or neither these two people beside me, the one that named Ciel & Kaye. …But, *stand on tiptoes & touch his cheeks with both hands* wow, you’re so handsome, aren’t you, Michaelis-san?
Kai: M, Mara-chan?!?! *felt like being throbbed by a sword*
Sebastian: *didn’t believe what he just heard* E, excuse me, Mara-san? Did something just happen to you?
Mara: I don’t know, maybe yes… My memories feel so hollow for some reason. Ah, but you know, if someone become your girlfriend, I bet that girl’s the happiest girl in the world. *smiles*
Kai: M, Mara-chan! *a sword just throb him again*
Sebastian  : A, and, what made you said that?
Mara: I don’t know, it just crossed my mind. & if that girl is me, I’ll be grateful for all my life. *smiles again, let go of his cheeks*
Kai: Wh―! *dies, a sharp sword just throb him, again, he felt like he has been defeated. Then he sulks in the corner*
Kaye: Wow, Mara-chan, you’ve got the nerves to say it in front of Nii-sama!
Ciel: Yeah, no kidding.

Sebastian: *blushes lightly, opens his mouth as if he wants to say something, but then quickly close it again* …Ahem. I do not know what happened to you, Mara-san, but one thing I know; I am certainly not the man for you in this case.
Mara: Eh?? Why is that?? Just by your appearance, you fit all my criteria! Tell me, you have lots of skills, don’t you?
Sebastian: Well, if you must know, I can cook very well, I have high intelligence, I can made everything into its perfection―
Mara: *cuts his sentence* Well, that’s just made you more of my criteria! You’re so perfect and all!
Ciel: Wow, what a way to brag yourself, Sebastian.
Sebastian: Sometimes I need to feel the admiration of others, Bocchan. *smirks to Ciel*
Ciel: …Tch, what a cunning man.
Sebastian: Thank you for your compliment, Bocchan.
Mara: & what is your hobby, Michaelis-san?
Sebastian: My hobby? *thinks* Um, playing with the cats, perhaps? *smiles*
Mara: See? We have something in common too!
Sebastian: But unfortunately, like I said before, I am not the man for you.
Mara: Eh?? Why, Michaelis-san?
Sebastian: Well, that is because that man over there, my lady, *pointed at Kai* is your true man right now.
Mara: *blushes lightly* E, eh, really?
Sebastian: Yes. *suddenly looks like he remembers something* Oh, *whispers* if you are interested to know about one of your past memories, I will tell you something interesting about it.
Mara: The past?
Sebastian: *whispers* Yes, please come meet me at the glass house of the rose garden in the backyard in the evening. I will wait for you there.
Mara: *gasps, blushes, small voice* I, is this some kind of… an invitation to go out together?
Sebastian: *small voice* Mm, it is not exactly as ‘go out’; it is just the red rose garden. *smiles*
Mara: … …Okay… *nods*
Sebastian: *smiles* Perfect. Then I will see you there. Oh, please call me by my first name from now on.
Mara: Your first name? …… Like, Sebastian-san?
Sebastian: Yes, like that, but please refrain from adding ‘–san’ at the end of my name, yes? *smiles*
Mara: Alright. *nods*

Kaye: Hey! What are you two whispering about?
Mara: *startled, blushes a little* E, eh? N, nothing much! *then she laughs weirdly*
Ciel: How suspicious of you. Don’t tell me you both made a plan again to― aw!
Kaye: Awawawaw, haha, please don’t mind him! *she stepped on Ciel’s foot again, then she laughs weirdly* Shut up, Ciel!
Ciel: … Tch.
Sebastian: Ah, yes. Mara-san, will you please tell Kai-sama to snap out from his dark corner over there?
Mara: Eh? Okay. *then walks towards Kai* Hey, Kai-kun.
Kai: … *only lift his head when I’m in front of him, he seem really down*
Mara: Oh, what’s wrong, Kai-kun?
Kai: … ‘What's wrong’ you say… … *back on crouching* Do you think whose fault is this?
Mara: Ahh, is it my fault? *squats* I’m so sorry if I hurt your feeling, Kai-kun. But to be exact, I didn’t know what I’ve done exactly… You know I lost all my memories right now. So um, please don’t look so gloom again, yeah? *smiles, gave him her hand*
Kai: … *lift his head again then sighs* …Yeah… *took her hand & stood up* Well…. It wasn’t entirely your fault for losing your memories then forgot something really important…
Mara: Yeah? & what was that exactly?
Kai: That is… something between you & me― *shakes his head* Ah, forget it. You’ll remember it soon enough… …I hope. *smiles bitter* Oh yes, everybody, I will tell you all about what was happened to this lady over here.
Ciel: Great, then let us talk in the Lounge. Sebastian, bring us the snacks there.
Sebastian: Alright, Bocchan. I already prepared some peach sponge cake, fruit pool & lemon tea, is that alright with you?
Ciel: Yeah, whatever. Just bring it.
Sebastian: Understood. Now if you all excuse me. *bows, then he leaves*

Then we went to this room called ‘Lounge’. While in the hallway, I could see some beautiful paintings & sculptures, also I sighted this mansion’s beautiful rose garden that’s located a bit far from here. It was all so amazingly great. This is the fanciest house I’ve ever been to. Then inside the Lounge, we sit on the couches there. Kaye & Ciel sit next to each other, while Kai sits beside me. I don’t know why it has been set like this though. Then about a few minutes later Sebastian entered & brought us the snacks. He served it on the table in front of us. After that, he stood beside his Bocchan, Ciel.

Ciel: Now, *sips his tea* please speak to us of what just happened to her, Kai.
Kai: Oh, yeah, that matter. Well, as you know we were having lunch together earlier. After we finished, she suddenly told me that she wanted to go to the Sunday Festival at the central park.
Kaye: *eats the cake* Oh, I know that festival! Mara-chan used to love that festival very much.
Mara: *eats a strawberry from the fruit pool* I do? *tilts head*
Kaye: Yeah, you do! Especially, when it comes to Sunday Night Festival on the 4th Sunday of every months.
Mara: What’s on Sunday Night Festival?
Kai: It’s where you get the chance to wear kimono that you used to love wearing it & then watch fireworks in the festival. We used to go there with the rest of the household.
Ciel: Yes, that is true. So Kai, please continue your story earlier.
Kai: Oh yes. Then in that Sunday Festival, she went to buy ice creams for both of us. Actually, I wanted to buy it for her, but she said I should just wait for her. So while she bought the ice cream, I did what she just told me; wait her on a park bench. Before she went to buy the ice cream, she also told me that she wanted to tell me something afterwards. While waiting for her, I pretended to be asleep because I was bored stiff. & then she came back. She said some words to me because she doesn’t know that I was awake. But without we knowing it, the bench where I sit was under an old storeroom-like building. Then somebody screamed that there is a glass falling right to me & the next thing I know she was hugging my head. As the result, she got hit by the glass instead of me.
Sebastian: Wait a minute. Kai-sama, you said that the glass hit her. So why did she not bleed from it?
Kai: I wish I know, Sebastian. …Maybe because of that, she lost her memories. It’s all my fault…
Mara: Kai-kun, why is it your fault? From what you just told us, it seemed like it was entirely my fault for bringing you there…
Ciel: Well techinically, nobody’s at fault here. That’s why they call it ‘accident’.
Kai: Yeah… *fell into silence* …Mara-chan, what were you trying to say to me back then?
Mara: Eh? About what?
Kai: I don’t know, you were the one who said you have something to tell me. *fell into silence* …& you mentioned something about you & Sebastian.
Sebastian: *startled a little, clears his throat*
Mara: Eh? What’s up with me & this tall mister?
Kai: I don’t know, maybe that is what you were trying to tell me…
Mara: Hm, I don’t recall though…

Kaye: Let it rest, Nii-san. She will remember it again sometimes in the future.
Ciel: Yeah, she will recover soon.
Kai: …Yeah, I know that. *then the room fell into silence*
Mara: … *breaks the silence* Um… can I ask a question?
Ciel: Yes, go ahead.
Mara: Okay then. …You see, I’ve been wondering since earlier… It’s about what Sebastian told me; about Kai-kun is my boyfriend. …What does it mean?
Kaye: Well~ it means like what it says. You are Kai-Nii-san’s girlfriend!
Kai: …Mara-chan, what are you trying to say here now?
Mara: Well, nothing to be exact. I’m unsure about this so I asked. Well, it’s not quite like that, I believe I had a mixed feeling right now in my heart about it & I don’t know what it is, so I want to confirm it.  Also, when Sebastian told me about it, I thought he was only joking. So it is real then?
Kai: *look a bit shocked* …! M, Mara-chan… *seem down, fell into silence, dark aura surrounds him, palm face*
Kaye: Of course it is real, dummy! Why you would even questioned that? Mara-chan, maybe you’re just tired. You shouldn’t push yourself from thinking over difficult matters at your current state right now.
Mara: Is that the truth? *thinking* I wonder, why I don’t feel any excitement over this matter in my heart?
Kai: …What do you mean by excitement?
Mara: Well, I used to read this one manga when I was little. They say that a person in love would always feel warmth inside their heart when seeing their loved one. But somehow, I didn’t feel that at all. Rather, it kinda blank when I see you, no offense.
Kai: … *sighs* But you do believe that you are my girlfriend, right?
Mara: Well, to be exact, a part of me said yes, but another part of me keep questioning & rejecting this fact, saying that we’re nothing but normal friends. I do have a strong feeling that I am yours though. But―
Kai: … Mara-chan, *cuts my sentences, pats my head* it is okay. I’ll wait for you. In the end, you will eventually end up with someone. & if that person is someone other than me, well… *fell into silence* … I can’t think of what happened next. *smiles bitter*
Mara: I’m sure I’ll remember something soon. I’m curious of my feelings towards you.
Kai: I hope you haven’t forgotten that feelings when you regained your memories.
Ciel: Ahem. So, in the end, we have to guide her so she can remember everything, yes?
Kaye: Yes, & I will help her recover too. & of course, you’re going to take the biggest responsible at this too, Nii-san. This was practically your fault too for pretending to be asleep.
Kai: I know that, of course I will help her.
Ciel: & yeah, that’s that. Okay, because the sun has already set, Sebastian.
Sebastian: Yes, Bocchan?
Ciel: Prepare tonight’s dinner.
Sebastian: As you wish, Bocchan. Everyone, please excuse me. *he bows then he left*
Ciel: Well, let’s head to the dining room.

After that, we went to the dining room to have dinner. After it’s finished, I saw Sebastian showed a quick smile when I was about to rose from my chair. & I think that smile was for me because nobody other than me realizing it. Could that be… a sign of that ‘invitation’ of his? … Whatever. Then I make a movement of my mouth as if I was saying ‘nine’ without voicing it to reply to his smile. He smiled back again & then he off to the kitchen. …So it really was for me. …I felt my cheeks began to warm a bit.

Mara: *talk to self* Oh my… My heart’s thumping weirdly… I wonder what this mean…
Kaye: *suddenly appeared & tapped my shoulder* Hey, Mara-chan!
Mara: *startled, then look at Kaye* Ah, K, Kaye-san… W, what is it?
Kaye: It’s nothing. & oh, don’t call me with ‘-san’, we’re not strangers you know. Just call me ‘Kaye-chan’. …Hey, *whispers* I saw you two!
Mara: W, what do you mean?
Kaye: Oh~ don’t act dumb! I know you two were planning something! Be honest to me~ what’s up between you & that butler guy?? *eyebrows wiggles*
Mara: *blushes a little* N, nothing between us! &… about that… …I can’t tell you…
Kaye: Oh come on~ we were best friends, you know!
Mara: … Even… if we were, I can’t tell you just… at least for now…
Kaye: Oh I see~ That’s a shame, still too shy huh~? *thinks* Alright then, when you done with your plan with him, please tell me about it, ne?? *winks*
Mara: T, tell you about it?
Kaye: Yes! I’ll be in charge of training you too anyway. ^^ But oh, don’t tell Nii-san anything that butler related. Just tell me.
Mara: Why is that?
Kaye: Just trust me. & I’ll be keeping Kai busy for you. Well~ good luck on your plan! *she left me & then I can see she’s dragging Kai somewhere*
Mara: What… was that? … *take a look at the clock* It’s almost nine… I should go there.
