A/N: First fanfic, but I worked really hard on it. Please review. If you don't, it makes we feel as if my story is not worthy of one and you didn't like it. This, being my first fanfic, would discourage me. So please review. Even if it's just a word, it would really help.
Memories

Mina's point of view

I remember it……I remember it all. As if it was yesterday

---------------------

10 years ago (Flashback)

The jyunishi were all here. I could feel their presence. I wanted to tell them to go away. I didn't want to do this.

"I'll call in Yuki first," My stomach dropped. "Hurry up and prepare yourself, we have to do 9 people" Akito sneered, apparently enjoying torturing me. Is he jealous? Is that why he wants me to erase all of their memories? They all love him much more than they love me……..so why. Being a girl of only 8, she couldn't understand.

The day before-

Why would he want her to do this? It would only hurt everybody, including herself. Akito's voice rang in her head. Clear and cruel "You are to erase their memories…their memories of YOU!" He laughed a bit after this.

Then looked at me like I was stupid. "You ungrateful little -----! Who do you think you are? You can't steal them from me! They're mine!" he cried. I had a feeling his temper would hurt me; I slowly stepped away "They will return to me. All of them! I am their god! Don't look at me like that. Stop crying!" I immediately stopped. "………….You know, since I've told you what to do, you have to. That's just how it is. How does it feel….does it burn? Having to follow everything every little thing I say." I could hear the joy in his voice when he dragged the last 5 words out of his mouth.

"Do you know why it's this way...…..? It's because I am god. Just me, every order I give you have to follow. I could even tell you to kill you this instant." He laughed again, this time cruelly and left me to ponder this. I started crying, Yuki, Haru, Momiji, Kagura, Rin, Kisa, Hiro, Ritsu…………………Kyo. All of them would forget about me. Akito however didn't mind Kureno Shigure, Aayame, and Hatori remembering me. This was too puzzling for the little girl. She slowly cried herself to sleep.

The next after-

Yuki slowly stepped in. His gray kimono was tattered. Oh lord, Akito had hit him hadn't he? I could feel tears forming in my eyes. I blinked them away hurriedly, and greeted him. He seemed relieved to see me. I could tell. He was afraid of Akito. I wanted to comfort him, afterall he was my best friend. I slowly prepared myself; I had never done something like this before. Hatori however had taught me, I was the only one who could do it besides him. I put my hand over Yuki's eyes. "Mina-san, what's going on?"

"Silence!" Akito shouted.

I erased his memories; it was like taking a cloth and wiping words out of a blackboard. It was like taking a duster tto wipe them but to feel agony. He hurt me because he was so dear to me. I cried with every step. Slowly wiping them so no trace of the words remained. It took a while; he had many memories of me. However I learnt a lot about Yuki. I rechecked making sure I wasn't there in anything. Or no hints of me. He was too weak to handle it. He collapsed right after I finished. I cried letting my tears flow. Akito asked a few servants to carry him out.

The zodiac animals kept coming. They all collapsed after I finished. I couldn't run away, I knew I couldn't. I was bound to Akito's words. I had to stay here until we were finished , and then follow Akito.

But I think Akito enjoyed seeing me cry. He never told me to stop. When we were finished with the first 8, I was crying very hard. My throat was hoarse and dry, my eyes swollen and watery, my lips parched and my nose running. I was in a dreadful state.

The cat came last of course; we had to actually go somewhere else to erase his memories. It was still Sohma property, but quiet far from the main land. Kyo wasn't allowed on Sohma property like that.

I felt my heart break when he wouldn't say anything as I raised my hand, he was also afraid of Akito. I loved him, I didn't know if he loved me though. We finally reached.

I slowly put them in front of his eyes. I could feel him tremble – he knew. "Kyo, I love you" I whispered silently, however I wasn't sure if he heard me. Akito was slightly farther than usual. He didn't want to be too close to the 'monster'

"Erase them" Akito said quite blankly, hoping no one would find them here.

I wiped his memories like I had Yuki's. The rest of the zodiac was not very familiar to me. But I didn't wipe it nearly as neat as Yuki's. I left some traces. Hazy figures. Things to hint that he had forgotten someone. I wanted him to remember me. He fell unconscious slower than the rest of the jyuunishi. I think Akito thought that, since Kyo was a monster he took longer then the rest. I was glad. He didn't guess.

Yesterday, he had told me, to clean the memories of the jyuunishi. And Kyo was not part of the jyuunishi. But I had to follow Akito's words when he said, "erase them"

The next time Kyo would see me, he would have flashbacks. And the rest would remember if they were told what happened……Which is exactly why, Akito kept me locked up in the main house.

(Flashback end)

I was still running, I think I lost them. She had finally broken out of the main house, and it had taken me 10 years. I am a girl of 18 now. She had devised a plan to fool Akito into letting her go. It was quiet simple.

I simply got Akito annoyed and irritated enough to yell "Get out!" at me. And I ran out, Akito hadn't noticed until I broke out the doors. He was yelling something but I couldn't hear it. I t was probably something like 'stop' But I couldn't hear him, I couldn't follow him. She ran out of the secret exit of the main house.

The air here smelt different out here………..it had the odor of freedom. I closed my eyes, and felt beyond happy. I was finally…………..free.
