Ok, I don't really know how Hatori's memory suppresion thing works, but for this story, you think about the period of time between two dates, and delete all information concerning it. then you tell the person their new memories, and their brain accepts this as the truth and creates those memories as real ones.
Disclaimer: don't own fruits basket. Got some fruit in a basket though. And some marshmallow cream. On a baskin robins plastic spoon.
His name is ERIK.
Anyway.
"just get it out, ha'ri! Get it out!"
"ok, ok. But really, shigure, I don't think accidentally kissing your editor is something that calls for, and I quote, 'immediate memory-blanky-thing!'"
"yeah, yeah, just get rid of it."
"right"
Hatori put his hand over shigure eyes and began thinking about the time period he wanted to erase. At that very moment, Ayame burst through the door.
"hatori! Shigure! I brought sake! Just like that time, just after we met, when we were three and broke into ha'ri's dad's liquor cabinet!"
Shigure chuckled at the memory, and hatori groaned.
"yeah, and that time when we were seven and we got drunk and had hangovers at school. They had no idea what was wrong with us."
"yes! And the time when we were thirteen and we broke into ha'ri's dad's liquor cabinet again and drank so much you vomited on ha'ri's mom's shoes!"
"and the time when we were fifteen and we snuck into a bar, and that weird dude hit on you because of your hair."
"yes. I believe that may have been the beginning of the end for me."
"no, I'd say it was when we were eighteen and you got so drunk you totaled ha'ri's dad's car, and got your license taken away."
"or perhaps when we were twenty-one and went for our first legal drink, and you crashed ha'ri's mom's new porche."
"or when we were twenty-four and we smashed ha'ri's car through ha'ri's dad's living room window, and drove straight through into the dining room."
"or last week, when we went out drinking with mayu, and got the two of them so drunk they passed out, and then made ha'ri's parents think they were engaged."
"or yesterday, when the two of us got drunk and went to visit ha'ri at work."
Hatori was filled with th desire to get rid of those memories, to simply not remember anything that had happened since the real beginning of the end, that day when they were three, all the way up til shigure and ayame's visit yesterday.
There was a blinding flash of light.
Hatori leapt away from shigure as if he had been scalded. He stared at his hand in disbelief, and then at Shigure.
"umm…where am I, and who are you two?"
