Well, this idea popped up. I hope you like it.

Summary: Akito makes the decision that Tohru's memory MUST be erased. And, having to choice but to follow his orders, Hatori grudgingly does it. How will life change for the Sohma's now? And, how hard will school get for Kyo and Yuki now that they have to pretend that they were never friends? And, Kyo has to pretend he never felt anything more, because, after all, they hadn't ever met in her world. But, how forgotten can things stay? KyoxTohru. Sohma-familyxTohru friendship.

"It's all right, it won't hurt. You just won't remember a thing about your relations with the Sohma's," the dark haired man told her gently.

They were both sitting on their knees directly in front of each other and tears were steadily running down her face as she gave one last pleading statement, "I don't want to forget."

"We wish you didn't have to, as well," he told her before he put his hand over her eyes and spoke lowly to her. A second later, she fell back on the ground, seemingly asleep, and he turned to the room full of occupants. They all either had sad looks, tears, or for two of them, very pissed off looks. He looked at two of the female occupants, a blonde Yankee in a black trench coat and a black haired girl wearing all black that slightly intimidated even him and sighed, "Take her to stay with one of you. When she awakens, tell her that her tent got crashed about a year ago. You found her after following her and she's to stay with you. She's been staying there for a while. She doesn't remember anything because she had an accident and fell and hit her head. If she asks about her grandfather, tell him yes that the house finished but she moved out so her aunt and cousins would have more room. Tell her that the doctor said some memory loss would be normal. You two only get to keep your memory for damage control. She'll be asleep for a while. And, good thing you are on vacation, it gives you a day to 'fill her in' on everything that had happened that she may not remember."

The blonde nodded. She looked at the rest of the occupants of the room, "Might as well say goodbye, now. She wouldn't let you before because it'd be too hard. Now's your chance."

The first to step up was a small girl with golden hair, "Bye, Sissy, I'll miss you." She wrapped her arms around her and nuzzled into her hair. Before she stepped back.

The next was a boy with white and black hair. He gently laid a hand on her forehead and nodded a goodbye. He stepped back and picked up the small golden hair girl who was still crying.

Next was a small blonde boy. He stepped up and sat beside her, taking her hand, "Well, I guess this is goodbye… at least for now. Maybe I'll see you around papa's building." He slapped his hand over his mouth and looked around before continuing, "That'd be our secret though, kay? And, I won't forget you, okay? I know you'd rather have not forgotten, and I wish you didn't have to either. But, like I told you, I'll always remember you. Just like I do my momma," He stood up with small smile and stepped back.

A brown haired girl with a small bear backpack stepped forward, "You were a good friend. I'm sorry I was a little reluctant at first. I'll never forget you." She stepped back.

Next stepped up an young man with long silver hair. He scratched his head slightly, "I hope I see you one day again. I guess we didn't really know each other, but I want to thank you for your advice to help me create a relationship with my dear little brother… Not that that's going so well right now…" He shook his head and stepped back.

Next stepped up another man with dark hair, "Oh, the house is going to be so dull without its beautiful little flower. And, much dirtier. Guess its back to take-out." The man sighed deeply, "I really will miss you. I think the world just lost a lot of its shine." He stepped back.

No one stepped forward as the man still sitting across from her shifted to see her better, "You really were a light. A lot of positive changes happened with you around. I'll miss you as well. Just remember… What does snow turn to when it melts?" He shook his head; he hated his job and then looked up.

The gray haired boy stepped up next, after seeing that the only other remaining occupant wasn't going quite yet. He kneeled by her side, "You… you taught me a lot. Schools going to be a lot different now. Those girls will leave alone now at least. It's going to be weird not having you around the house. Take care." He stood up and backed up, looking at the last one in the room.

The orange hair boy stepped forward and dropped to his knees beside her, taking her hand and clutching it in both of his, "Just… just… you know, I'm going to miss you and all! Okay? I will! A lot! And, this means I won't be there to protect you all the time. Just watch where you are going and don't zone out so much. And, that plum… I lied. It's not really tiny. It's really big. I won't forget you, okay? Just, be careful." What the rest of the occupants could have sworn was a tear slipped out of his eye, but it was gone faster than any of them could talk a second look. He leaned down and whispered something that no one except the man that was still sitting right beside the girl could hear. His eyes widened slightly as the orange hair boy dropped a kiss onto the girl's forehead before standing up and walking back to the group.

The blonde girl stepped forward and picked up the girl, "Sheesh, not as little as you use to be, huh? Well, I guess this is goodbye for the most part."

And her and the other girl started to step out, the black hair girl turned and made her first comment since they'd all arrived, "Maybe not as much of a goodbye as your head of family wished. There's always the chance something will bring her or her memory back." And, with that, they exited the house and were on their way.

After a long silence, the orange hair boy looked up from where he was leaning against the wall and looked at the man who'd done this to them, "Hatori, you bastard."

"Kyo," Hatori said slowly, trying to calm the enraged boy, "you know I had no choice. Akito demanded it. I cannot go against his will."

Kyo didn't respond, he just glared and stomped up the stairs and to his room. Shigure sighed, "I knew he'd have this reaction. Yuki, maybe you two should stay away from each other for a while, eh? Save my house?"

The gray haired boy didn't respond, he just turned and walked up the stairs to his own room. Shigure sighed; it was going to a tense couple of week, maybe longer.

"Don't worry too much," Hatori tried to reassure him. "They'll come out of it eventually. Of course, it doesn't help that Miss Honda attends their school, so they'll have to see her just about every day, but they'll come out of it."

"And, if they just end up as cold as you?" Haru asked coldly, setting the girl down and clenching and unclenching his fists.

'Great, he's gone Black. I didn't know it would affect him so much as well,' Hatori thought but didn't make any attempt to respond. First off, there was no use when Haru went Black. And second, the comment actually did hurt.

It must have shown on his face because Momiji spoke up, "You know he didn't want to do this any more than you wanted it to happen, Hatsuharu! So, go back White."

"Hmph," was Haru's only response as he leaned back and crossed his arms.

Shigure spoke up, "Speaking of school, what will the classmates think when they don't see Tohru interacting with Yuki and Kyo?"

"Kyo and Yuki have been told to handle it," Hatori said.

The small girl spoke up, her eyes still watering, "Can I please stay here tonight and sleep in Sissy's bed, please?"

Shigure looked down at the young girl and smiled, "Sure, Kisa."

"I'll stay, too. Just to keep an eye on her," Haru said before pushing off the wall and walking up the stairs with Kisa. He called over his shoulder, "I'll make a mat in Tohru's old room."

"Alright, we better get back to the main house. Let's go Momiji, Kagura, Ayame," Hatori told the two remaining kids and the adult.

"Aw," Momiji wined. "I wanted to stay on a mat in Tohru's room, too. It's sad cause we can't be friends anymore."

"I know, but Shigure already has his hands full with two very angry teen boys, another unresponsive teen boy, and a very sad pre-teen girl," Hatori told him.

"Alright," Momiji conceded. "Bye Shigure."

And with that, Hatori shepherded the three out the door and out of sight.

Across town, two girls were walking, the taller one carrying another sleeping girl in her arms. The shorter one spoke up, "Are you sure it was okay to let them do that? And, to keep it a secret from her, Ou?"

"It's what was demanded. We can't go against it. They allowed us to keep our memories and only asked that we perform one simple favor: do not mention Tohru's forgotten past with the Sohma's," she answered. "Plus, don't you believe that something will bring them back together, Hana?"

"Of course," Hana responded. "Something will bring back her memory or they'll start over. I just hate that this had to be part of it. I'm also worried about, Kyo."

"Orange top? How come?" Arisa questioned.

"He seemed deeply hurt that this was happening. Just as much, if not more, than Prince Yuki. And, what could he have said when he whispered to her? The doctor heard it, I could tell by his facial expression, and he looked shocked," Hana told her.

"Who knows. But, it will be hard; after all, he doesn't exist to her. They haven't met yet," she responded looking down at Tohru. "At least she won't suffer."

Hana nodded as they kept walking through the cool night.
