A/N: This is my first fanfic so don't bite my head off if it's totally awful. But please tell me ways that I could improve it. Enjoy and please review.
CHAPTER 1
HATORI'S P.O.V.
Kana, I look at you from afar. I always see you laughing. You're always smiling, always…happy. Oh how I desperately want you in my life again. But when I think about what happened in the past, I know I can never have you again... But still I wonder, how my life would be if I hadn't had to erase your memories.
"Hatori-san! I've just heard the greatest news. Come on, Hatori, guess what it is," Ayame said, interrupting my thoughts, while gazing at me with those big eyes of his.
"Let me guess, you and Yuki have begun to understand each other?" that was the only thing that I could think of that would make Ayame so cheerful and sing-songy.
I saw his face drop ever so slightly as he answered, "No, I'm not sure that will ever happen anytime soon. Yuki has been acting so strange lately, but that's beyond the point. This has nothing to do with me; it has to do with you."
I was taken aback. Something to do with me? "Go ahead and tell me. I don't think I will be able to guess if it's about me."
"Kana is coming for a visit," Ayame said, giving me a mischievous look, "You know, Hatori, I'm pretty sure no one would mind if you stole her away from that American guy, Jack, was it."
Than one little four lettered word is what caught my attention. Kana. That name brought back so many memories. Suddenly everything I had ever done with Kana, everything that had ever reminded me of her, went through my mind.
"She's coming back here to visit. When did you find that out? Who told you? When is she coming? Why didn't anyone tell me yet?" I could not help but babble on and on. Oh, how much I wanted to see you again. How much I wanted to smell your sweet honeysuckle scent.
I looked at Ayame's face and could feel my face growing hotter and hotter. Not once, in my entire life, had I ever lost my composure and babbled on and on like this in front of anyone, including Kana.
"Well, Hatori, I don't think I have ever seen you so worked up over some good news, any news for that matter. Well the answers to your questions are: I found it out yesterday from Tohru, who heard it from Kyo, who heard it from Yuki, who heard it for Shigure, who heard it from Mayu. She is coming next Thursday, and no one told you yet because they sent me to tell you."
Next Thursday…a whole week away! Why, I don't think I can wait that long. I have to clean myself up. I can't let Kana see me like this. So, depressed and serious. What am I going to do when I see her again? What am I going to say?
A/N: Well there's chapter 1 for ya. How was it? I hope it's not too bad. Please review and give suggestions as to how I can improve. Please keep reading!
