I am kinda glad to be writing another Akito x Tohru story, but I think I'm kind of rushing this one. Which I better not, and I have more of a plot for this one so I'm good. And my other story "Her Problem" is discontinued for now, because I have no idea what to do for it right now. And then I thought of this. And everyone is a bit OOC... I'll work on that. They won't be in the next one! Hopefully.
I don't own Fruits Basket.
The Sohma's had heard news from Hatori that something bad had happened to Akito in an accident. Shigure, Kyo, and Yuki had decided to go, and so had a confused Tohru.
"Oh my, I hope Akito is okay..." Tohru looked at the three Sohma's in the car with her.
"I don't, the bastard had it coming." Kyo snickered, while Yuki and Shigure said nothing.
"Haven't you ever considered how he felt? He's always being reminded that he's going to die.." Tohru felt bad for Akito. Caring had been in her nature, no matter who or what they had done, she felt herself caring. Even when maybe she shouldn't have.
"Yes, and he takes it out on us!" Kyo turned away and stared out the window.
The rest of the ride was silent, until they had made it to the main house, which was in chaos. The maids were chattering back and forth, and many broken dish shards covered the floors, probably from accidents caused by panic or excitment.
Tohru's jaw dropped at the mess, while the other three ignored it and walked into the room Akito was staying. Tohru ran after them and looked around, until she saw Akito laying on a bed. The brown haired girl noticed how peaceful the God looked, and wondered if he was unconscious or just asleep? Without thinking she wondered closer to the sleeping God, until Hatori spoke up.
"He was throwing another fit, and somehow knocked a book case over in one of the rooms, and it fell on him and really mainly his head. I think he may have a severe concussion, if not worse." Hatori cleared his throat and added, "I expect him to recover very soon, but everyone is already assuming that he will die, but he won't. I just thought I would tell you all that. Ayame, Ritsu, Hatsuharu, and Momiji are here in the other room if you would like to see them."
"Great.., no thanks." Yuki walked out of the room, and Kyo after him.
Shigure nodded and started talking to Hatori, and eventually the two also left the room, telling Tohru to keep an eye on Akito.
"How did I get left alone in here with the unconscious Akito?" Tohru mumbled to herself and took a seat beside the bed on the floor. She pushed a strand of her brown hair behind her ear and looked at Akito again. "He looks so beautiful like this.." Tohru quickly covered her mouth, if someone heard her she would feel so weird, she was watching an unconscious person, so Tohru already felt really awkward.
"Nn.." Akito turned over on his side and winced.
Tohru blinked a few times and stared at him, her innocent blue eyes as wide as possible.
Akito turned over to lay on his back and sat up slowly. He turned when he heard an almost mouse-like high pitched squeak that came from Tohru.
"A-Akito.. How are you feeling? You really shouldn't sit up, you m-might have a concussion!" Tohru stood up and put her hands on his shoulders, but jerked them away in fear that he would scold her for the action.
"Who are you?.. Akito? Where am I? Why am I here?" Akito looked up at Tohru and moved to the edge of the bed.
"Huh? What do you mean?" Panic struck Tohru. Had the Sohma God forgotten who he was or was this just some horrible prank? No, Akito didn't seem like the type to pull that kind of a thing.
"Where are we? More importantly, who are you?" Akito looked around.
"I'm Tohru Honda.. We've met before, remember? Or maybe you don't, since I'm so plain.." Tohru laughed nervously, "We are in one of the rooms in the main house. You hit your head and Hatori brought you in here and him and Shigure told me to watch you."
"Slow down. I've never even met you, if I did I would remember.. Who are Hatori and Shigure? Is this a dream?" Akito got off of the bed and stood up.
"...Hatori!" Tohru yelled. Something was obviously wrong with Akito.
"Hey, stop screaming, my head hurts!" Akito glared at her.
Hatori and Shigure clumsily ran in the room.
"What happened?" Hatori looked at Tohru and then at Akito.
"Something is wrong with him." Tohru pointed at Akito who almost resembled a frightened cat, like he was ready to back away and run off.
"Akito, calm down.." Hatori gestured for Akito to sit on the bed.
"Who are you people?" Akito looked around nervously.
"..Oh dear, you don't think that his head wound would be enough to cause him to have memory issues, right?" Shigure looked over at Hatori.
"Well, he may have Amnesia.. He was not hit that hard, but considering how frail Akito is maybe." Hatori scratched the back of his neck and sighed.
"W-What?.. So he doesn't remember anything?" Tohru raised an eyebrow.
"Who knows.." Hatori shrugged.
Yuki and Kyo opened the door and walked into the room.
"Miss Honda, did you yell earlier?" Yuki walked over to Tohru and looked at her with concern.
"Yes.., but I'm fine! I-It's just that Akito has memory loss and I was yelling to get Hatori in here." Tohru smiled slightly.
"Akito has lost his memory..?" Yuki blinked and then burst out laughing.
"What is that boy laughing about? I don't see what's funny.." Akito narrowed his eyes.
"This is too good to be true." Yuki covered his mouth to keep himself from laughing.
"Excuse me?" Akito looked over at Tohru as if she would shut the boy up.
"Yuki, stop. You're making us all confused. Are you going into hysterics?" Tohru was about to panic in this situation, if anyone was about to go into hysterics it would have been her.
"That damned rat is just amused by this, that's all." Kyo pushed Yuki out into the hallway as he continued laughing.
"Please do tell me what is so amusing." Akito cleared his throat and added irritably, "The fact that I have no fucking clue who you people are or know nothing about anything here?!"
"Hey, maybe he's actually remembering things. He seems like his old self again." Kyo rolled his eyes.
"Kyo, Tohru, and Shigure please leave the room. I will get Akito to calm down, and maybe he just needs some rest." Hatori sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Alright, please recover soon, Akito." Tohru bowed politely and scurried down the hallway with Shigure behind her.
After Hatori calmed Akito down and gave him the proper medicines needed he joined the others in another room in the main house not far from Akito's.
"Is Akito alright?" Shigure wondered how Hatori had managed to get him to calm down.
"Yes, Akito will be fine, he's just frustrated and confused." Hatori nodded.
"So, does he really have amnesia?" Kyo cleared his throat.
"That's how it seems. It could be temporary or it could be permanent." Hatori frowned.
"This is great!" Yuki yelled cheerfully.
"I know I'm going to regret asking, but what about this is great?" Hatori raised an eyebrow.
"If it's permanent that's even better! We can tell him how nice of a person he was and just lie and say he liked to help others and he was kind. Maybe he'll believe it and change into that sort of person! Then he would never be cruel to annoy of us again." Yuki looked at the other cursed Sohma's in the room.
"Excuse me for kind of interuppting, but anyway that you look at that Yuki that's lying. Which isn't good. Plus, if he does regain his memories it would backfire on everyone.." Tohru fidgeted with the ribbons in her hair.
"Tohru is right, Yuki. Don't start losing your sanity here. You could endanger all of us with that plan." Shigure shuddered at the thought of having to face Akito's anger.
"Even if it is temporary it's better than nothing. Do you see it? He still acts like himself, but if we just fib a little we could change that.." Kyo spoke up, agreeing with Yuki for once.
"That really doesn't sound like the right thing to do.." Tohru shook her head and added, "Would you like someone to lie to you if you couldn't remember anything at all?"
"If I was Akito, yes." Yuki muttered bluntly.
"Yuki!" Tohru frowned at him.
"Maybe he will be happier." Kyo laughed.
"You guys, that isn't the point." Tohru sighed.
"Let's just drop this subject for now." Shigure looked at the three of them who went quiet.
Tohru bit her lip and tried to think of ways she could keep Yuki and Kyo from lying to Akito, she knew if they did and he found out it could lead to very horrible things for them. Tohru's mother had always taught her that you should always tell the truth, unless you have a good reason not to, which they didn't.
