Chapter Two: New Reality


Akito's POV

Everything went as planned, and before midnight the sleeping Kagura was delivered to me. All I had to do was to wait for her to wake up.

7: 40 a.m.: Kagura has woke up. She didn't know who I was, or where she was. Hatori was left to weave her a careful web of lies which I had previously planned. Slowly, she came to learn that she was married to me, and that she lived in this house, and couldn't leave because pollen made her extremely sick, and she could (in this house) do whatever she wished. Hatori told her if she had anymore questions to ask both of us and not to speak to anyone else in the house, for they were merely servants.

All of this she received fairly well, except one thing: Why couldn't she remember anything in the first place. This was the one thing I couldn't answer, the one thing I had forgotten. Hatori told her that she had gotten into an accident. A plane crash, and she was the only survivor. The doctors had expected her to suffer severe brain damage, but she only lost a majority of her long term memory.

This was the one moment I was actually thankful of Hatori. But because the members of my family are stupid, that did not last long.


Haru's POV

I sneaked into Kagura's condo, like I did every week to stay up with her and talk, however, when she wasn't there, I panicked. I searched the whole house trying to find her, not a single clue. Except...a syringe with the "Sohma Pharmaceutical" logo clearly printed on it. I read the label carefully. Unfortunately, I couldn't figure out what it meant, accept that it was some sort of anesthetic.

I thought only one thing, "Hatori. He must have suppressed her memories!" I searched thoroughly for a note, a dairy, something that would let me know she was okay. Nothing. I looked everywhere except the obvious places. On the table was a small folded piece of paper. When I finally noticed it, I opened the creases. It was addressed to me and read:

Haru,

I am sorry for the inconvenience, but knowing Akito, he probably has something very sick in mind. I had to suppress Kagura's memories, but please find a way to help her remember. I will try to update you.

-Hatori

"She forgot?! She can't forget! Not me! She's supposed to be in LOVE with me!"

It stabbed like a million cold knives. I couldn't blame Hatori for what he had to do, but I could only hope she could remember me. The thing that was sure to jog her memory! She always said I was a good kisser. I had to find her. I had to make her remember, but Akito, sick, evil Akito, (Or maybe Akito, sick, evil, and sadistic Akito. Would work better, tee-hee!) stood in my way.


Kagura's POV

I'm remembering a lot now. I can recognize most things, and I'm glad that Akito is my husband, because he's one of the few people I can remember. It's odd though, last night he said that I could not sleep with him, because the doctor had to monitor me. I guess I don't mind, but it would be nice to be confident that I am loved. He seems repulsed by me, and I am scared. I could have been planning divorce! No, we seemed pretty rich. Today, a very angry man came. He was talking about me to the doctor. He said, "Where is she!? Let me talk to her!" And by doctor whispered something.

He calmed the man down and handed him a piece of paper. I am not sure what it was, but after he got it, he quickly left. How did this man know me? He seemed very familiar, and if I hadn't been unable to leave the house, I probably would have followed him.

I must have friends and family. Where are they? Shouldn't they be trying to help Akito and Hatori make me remember? I'll ask. Akito mentioned someone, which I didn't understand. He said something about the caged cat, named Kyo. The name sounded so familiar, and my heart skipped a beat. However, Kyo is a very odd name for a cat, and why is the poor thing in a cage?

Also, who was that man with white hair who came today? I'm a little bit confused. Good thing Hatori's so nice. Maybe he'll help me figure this out and put my life back together.


Hatori's POV

Hatsuharu came to the house today demanding to see Kagura. I couldn't allow him to, but I gave him a paper which had everything she "remembered" so far, or rather what we had told her. He didn't take it so well when I told him that she thinks she's married to Akito. I made him leave because we couldn't have her seeing him.

I am on Haru's side, but I don't want to loose my head for his happiness. I think Akito was telling her about Kyo just to torture her. Her mind can't yet grasp what we are! Unfortunately, I'm not allowed to tell any of the rest of the family where she is. I'm afraid Aya and Gure-san will worry, also Kyo is angry because she hasn't came to see him. I'm worried for his health, but Akito won't allow me to take her to see Kyo.

Probably because he wants them to suffer more. But if his goal was to hurt Kyo, he could have just told him about Haru and Kagura; but I think his goal wasn't to hurt Kyo, but to hurt Haru ad Kagura. He's evil and it's probably a plus that it's ripping the cat apart. He smiled when I told him Kyo stopped eating. That kind of thing fuels his desire to punish even more.

He is also planning to move Yuki back. He's sick. Akito knows just one or two moves can torture the entire family, and he'll gladly do them just to see us suffer.


Shigure's POV

Kagura-san hasn't come to the house to see Tohru in a couple of days, and she's starting to worry, so am I. Tohru and Yuki went on another date, and while they were gone Hatori-san called me. I hoped he had news about Kagura, and he did, but also he had news about Yuki.

"Hello, Tori-san! So good to hear from you. Have you seen Kagura, because she hasn't been over in awhile an..." Hatori-san cut me off.

"Yes. She's here. She's uh... fine. Listen, Akito is going crazy again, and he wants to move Yuki back to the main house, among the other things he's done lately."

"Whoa! He can't do that! But he probably will because Tohru's grandfather won't like her to stay here with just me, and she'll have to leave! And Yuki will fall apart when I tell him!"

"I know. Not only may we lose Yuki to Akito, but probably Haru and Kyo also."

"Wait, what do you mean?"

"The only person you may tell is Aya."

"Right."

"Okay, Akito had me suppress Kagura's memories. She's now living at the Main House, and thinks she's married to Akito."

"Oh my...why? What? How does that involve Haru?!"

"Because Kagura moved on. I was the only one who knew, but then Akito found out, and He did this to punish them."

"Poor Kagura..."

"Yes. Poor Kagura indeed. Tell Aya, maybe the 'blossom trio' can help reunite Kagura and Haru. Maybe we can help to revive some of her memories before Akito's plans get even more morbid."

"Okay."

I hung up the phone with the feeling that I had just been punched in the gut. Somehow, I knew we had to get her out before anything worse happened. And as if to respond to my concern, Aya shows up.

"Aya, what are you doing here?!'

"Calm down. I just had a feeling. Is everything okay?!"

"No. Actually it's not, I was just going to call you. Kagura's memories have been suppressed. She thinks she's married to Akito, and he wants to move Yuki back to the Main House!"

"Well that was unexpected. How's Haru holding up?"

"Wait... how did you know about Haru, I thought only Hatori, Akito, and me knew about that?!"

"I've been doing a little spying of my own. You know, they're very cute together."

"Okay, I'm not sure I even want to know what you mean by that, but we need to come up with something."

"Agreed."


Haru's POV

I'm not happy about this whole thing. Kagura thinks she's married to Akito, and Hatori won't let me talk to her! Whenever I see him, I have to keep thinking. No black side, no black side, no black side, no black side, but no matter what I do I still want to punch him!

Dammit! If I could just get into the main house, I could find her and take her away! I could probably make her remember! I could take her to see Kyo and Tohru, and maybe she'd remember. This is dumb. I'm not acting like myself lately. It's like in this comic book I read. The big line was: When you love someone, you do crazy things.

I need to tell Kyo about this. If his anger builds up enough, he'll find a way out of that cage. Kagura's really the only one who ever truly loved him, so maybe the fact that she betrayed him would provoke him to find a way out, just to kick my ass. (That would be useful.)


Akito's POV

KAGURA IS DRIVING ME NUTS! She won't quit asking me questions! If I was a bad husband I'd beat her like I did Yuki! But no, I couldn't. She's totally buying into my lies, and looking at her, I've never seen so much trust for me in one person. But everyday it's the same thing. I pop my pills and tell more lies. I think it's the first time anyone has loved me, but I'm glad it's ripping Kyo and Haru to shreds. Kyo will probably be dead by the end of the month if I bring Yuki here, and Tohru leaves.

Another "cat" funeral is a thing to be looked forward to. It can be Kagura's first little outing since the "accident." I'm sure Haru will love that.


Kagura's POV

Hatori let me see the garage today! There's a beautiful red car he calls a "Viper." I can't for a drive in it, but it's a very nice car. Akito talked to Hatori, and I get to sleep with him now. I can't wait till tonight! In the morning, Akito says I get to meet his cousin! (Again.) His name is Yuki Sohma, and from his description, Akito and him are very close, and he's very cute.

This will be fun! I also asked about "Kyo." Hatori said he was one of his patients, and so he couldn't talk about him. That's okay, but when I asked him about the man with the white hair. He got quiet and only said, "You two used to be very close." I'm not really sure what that means.
