Grey held his head, not opening his mouth, due to the bound he had instilled in her, he couldn't say the child was lying, so he kept quiet.

Jessenda then said, "I've never seen him so happy. He's been glum these past few years, but you seem to make him happy, and you two are always smiling when near one another. Where did those smiles go?"

Shrike shook his head, "Its the way people are. I guess."

Nijuu looked at the child, though her face was still red, and she couldn't believe the words that had come out of her mouth. "It's hard to explain." She said at length. "I-I..." her voice trailed off, as her heart skipped a beat again, and again it started to beat faster in her chest. She grunted lowly, falling to the floor on her knees. "My...my heart..."

Amalia folded her arms, and looked at Shrike. "So, where did the kid go? Back into the house?"

Shrike shook his head, "I'm afraid the child was merely a spirit, and I have sent them into the next world, as is my duty as a reaper."

Grey got off the couch, and knelt down near where she was, placing his hands over hers, "Are you alright?"

As soon as the man touched her hand, Nijuu's heart beat began to slow down. "I-I think I'm fine now." She looked at the man, her face turned red again, and she looked away from him.

Amalia unfolded her arms. Though she was disappointed, she couldn't fault Shrike for doing what he was supposed to do. "I suppose it was for the best."

Shrike looked to her, "Wandering souls often become victims of voracious demons, I couldn't let such a fate befall them."

Grey shifted his head, and looked her in the eyes, his expression a very loving one, "Are you okay, your face bright red."

"Th-those things...did we really..." Nijuu's voice trailed off, unable to finish her question.

Amalia walked towards Shrike and placed her hand on his shoulder. "It's okay." She smiled faintly, then walked towards the house. "Follow me, I want to show you something."

Grey could only nod, answer, "Yes....we embraced........." He held her hand up to his lips, and kissed it.

Shrike merely followed her, "I'm not the type to apologize for doing my job." Noticing she wanted him to follow her, he calmly did so.

Nijuu's face turned even redder, as the man spoke to her. She covered her face with her free hand.

Amalia walked into the house and to the basement. She turned on the lights. "These weapons are what's left of my family." What remained were three one-handed swords, four daggers, and one two handed sword.

Grey placed her claimed hand over his heart, "I truly wish you remembered me.....for my memories of you have changed my life, since the day I fell from the sky, mortally wounded, and you brought me back from the brink."

Shrike looked to the weapons, then to his own, "Interesting, are they in pain, are they suffering?"

Nijuu looked at him with her kind blue gaze, though the thought that she had made love to someone she doesn't remember, seemed to be written on her face.

Amalia shook her head. "No. They are at peace." She replied, as she walked towards the weapons. "I'm not leaving them here in this place. I should take them somewhere safe, and should I choose any kin, these weapons will have use." She looked at Shrike. "This is our last rights, this will happen to me when I die....should I have kin to perform the last rights."

Grey sighed, and simply said aloud, "Would you like something to eat?"

Shrike placed a hand on her shoulder, "You'll find someone to continue your bloodline, you'll fall in love, and you'll live for a very long time. I can see this when I look at you. I will live for an eternity alone, and I am prepared for this, you needn't have such a fate."

Nijuu shook her head. "May I get some air?" She asked. "I just need some time to collect my thoughts."

Amalia smiled faintly. "Thank you, Shrike." She said. "But I still don't understand why you must be alone. If you don't mind, I'd like to think of you as a friend, and ally?"

Shrike tapped his forehead, "I contain within my head, the memories, the will, and the hatred held by each Grimm before me. I can't allow these feelings to be pushed upon any other living being. Because there are so many different colliding thoughts storming through my mind. I lose control for one moment, and the past Grimm's minds take control of my actions."

"Whatever you want, the air outside is pretty fresh, I have to.....make a phone call.......to my mother......" He stood up, took his cellphone from his pocket, and went into another room.

Nijuu nodded her head, as she rose from the floor, and walked outside. She could feel the breeze comb through her white hair. She closed her eyes, and leaned against the house, taking a deep breath. "How could I make love to someone I don't remember?" She whispered.

Amalia tilted her head slightly. "That sounds...well...to be honest...that sounds terrifying."

Shrike smiled, "Well, at least I'm the only one who has to endure all those hateful bastards, and no one else."

Grey broke down as he talked on the phone, his mother keeping a very level head the entire time though. He made sure to keep quiet though, he didn't want Nijuu to sense his sorrow.

Genesis heard Nijuu's words, and thought to himself of a very cruel way to cause her and Grey further pain. Walking out from the darkness, in a form of flesh, one molded in Grey's appearance, he approached her, and looked her in the eyes with a devilish grin, "So, you have no memories of me, whatsoever?"

Grey continued to sit in the house, unable to really speak, his mind tattered, he didn't want Nijuu to see him like this.

Nijuu nodded her head once. "Not even one since I woke up." She replied, unable to look at him without blushing. She turned her head away from him, trying to hide the fact that she had already started to blush.

Genesis reached out, and placed a hand on her cheek, "I have a way, to help you remember, if you so wish........." His grin widened, as he looked in the eyes.

A puzzled expression formed upon Nijuu's blushing face. "How?" She asked, hesitantly.

Genesis smiled, having heard Nijuu's mother's words, "Well, your body must remember first, before you mind can. Unless of course, you do not want to remember our love, if you wish to throw it away, I understand......" He looked away from her, trying to play the part of the hesitant Grey.

Nijuu reached out and grabbed his hand. "No. That's not what I want." She whispered softly. "I want to remember...I want to remember everything..." her voice trailed off as she cast her gaze to the grass. "I-I just don't know...well...how.."

Genesis started to walk towards one of the spare storage buildings, "If that is what you want, follow me, you need only do this, and I will.......shall instruct you on the rest....." He calmly walked away, leading her nearly one hundred feet from the main complex, into a small building, in which the armaments, and spare armor was stored.

Nijuu's face started to turn beat red, as she followed him. Her heart began to race, faster and faster, as she walked closer to the storage shed. "O-Okay..." she said in a soft tone.

Once she was inside the building, Genesis calmly closed the door, using his shadows to lock it down from inside of it, without alerting the girl. He had look to her with a smile on his face, "Tell me Nijuu, how badly do you want to remember?"
