Unknown

Chapter 1

In the darkness of the Main House lies a slim figure. The figure's dark hair sweeps the floor as it got to its feet. Ignoring the cold icy breeze the figure stepped out onto the snow, and finds itself facing a tall dark-haired man with only his right eye visible.

"Hatori"

The man didn't move, he stood there with his head down, his eye staring at nothing. His hair starts collecting the snow as it falls; he too, ignored the icy chill.

"Hatori!"

Hatori takes no notice. He calmly looks up into the figure's eyes. The same eyes that haunted him day and night, the same eyes that gave the death stare to his loved ones…

"You will do what I say. You will erase her memories, just like you did to Kana…"

The figure leaned forward, and placed its mouth near Hatori's ear.

"…You loved her, yet you did it without a second thought. She's nothing compared to Kana, you know it Hatori…You know what I want"

No he thought

"I trust you Hatori, you did it once, and you will do it forever…"

NO!

The figure strokes his hair, and kisses Hatori's left eye.

"You don't have a choice…So be a good boy, and suck it up."

I DO! Hatori falls down to his knees

With that, the figure turned around and walks back into the dark, eerie Main House, leaving Hatori kneeled down in the cold.

"Hatori-san! Is he okay?" Tohru Honda seems worried

"Yeah, he'll be fine. He's a doctor, so at least he can cure himself" Shigure sighs.

"What's wrong with him anyway?" Kyo sticks his head out of the door.

"Momiji found Hatori unconscious in the main house. When Momiji found him he was lying on the ground half covered by snow, and now he's suffering from: a fever."

"You're…You're not saying…Akito did something to him?"

A voice joins the conversation. "Akito went to the Onsen with Kureno last week, they won't be back yet. Baka Neko."

"Arghhh Who are you calling baka! You damn mouse!"

Ignoring the commotion, Shigure turns to Tohru. "Good thing Hatori's not resting here, the noise will kill him before the flu does."

Tohru gives him a weak smile; she's too worried about Hatori. If it's not Akito, who else can hurt Hatori-san like this?
