Here is another chapter! Enjoy! :)
Yuki looked out of his window. Kagura was coming to see them. Yuki thought Tohru might like her. Too bad Sora wasn't here… "KYO!" Yuki heard Kagura scream. After a couple minutes of crashing and bashing, Yuki thought she had calmed down, as he couldn't hear any more noises. "Hey, where is Yuki?" Everyone was silent, until Shigure finally spoke.
"He's upstairs." Shigure said quietly. "You may not want to…" Yuki could hear Kagura racing up the steps. Oh no… Kagura opened his door and peeked inside.
"Yuki?" Yuki put on his best smile and looked at her.
"Hello Kagura. How are you doing today?"
"I'm good, but what's wrong with you? Everyone was acting strange downstairs so I thought something must be wrong."
"It's nothing. Let's go and see the others," Yuki said cheerfully. Deep down, he didn't feel happy at all.
When Sora woke up, she had a headache. She sat up and found herself in a small hotel room. Sora got up and tried to think. She remembered going home and her father telling her to leave. "I guess I went here for the night." Sora thought. Still, that gave her an uneasy feeling. Sora went downstairs and asked for the day. What she heard startled her. It had been a week! But that didn't make sense… the day she had started school had been a week ago. Something must have happened that she couldn't remember. Sora went back to her room and saw bags on a chair. In the bags were all her clothes. "What is happening to me?" Sora yelled in frustration. "I'm been unconscious for a week, I some how wind up in a hotel, and I have all my clothes with me!" That was when she heard a knock on her door. Curious, Sora walked over and opened the door. A woman stood there, probably in her twenties. She had brown hair and brown eyes. She had a look of concern on her face.
"I thought I heard shouting, are you okay?" The women asked, concerned. That was when the women realized it. "Oh my goodness! You must be only fifteen! What are you doing in a hotel all by yourself?"
"Um… I…" Sora didn't know what to say.
"You need to come with me!" She said firmly. "Do you have some things with you?" Sora nodded. "Okay, grab them and I'll take you to my room." Sora wasn't sure if that was a good idea, but she didn't have any other place to go. When Sora had all her things together, the women took her to a room that wasn't far away from Sora's. The women laughed suddenly. "I never told you my name! I'm Kana!"
"My name is Sora." Kana smiled.
"It's nice to meet you."
That night, Yuki walked to his garden. Kagura had made a giant mess in the house, so Yuki didn't want to stay in there. "I wonder what Sora is doing now." Yuki thought. She was probably wondering how she had gotten in that hotel. Yuki stopped walking. What if Sora got her memories back? Would they erase her memories again? Or was there a chance that she could be accepted? Maybe that was the answer! She simply had to remember again! "Hold on there." He thought. "That's a giant stretch. There is no way Akito would just let her come back. But what if Sora just keeps on remembering? Eventually Akito will give in, there is no doubt about it!"
"I can hear you." Yuki saw Shigure standing in the distance. "You may have thought you were just thinking, but I could hear every word."
"So?" Yuki said, slightly annoyed.
"I know you want Sora to come back to you Yuki. The thing is that may be impossible. Suppose she does remember, Hatori might just make it even harder for her."
"How?"
"Well, right now Hatori has managed to keep Sora within this city, and she'll go to Kaibara high school. If she gets her memories back, he may change all of them completely. It's possible, you know." Yuki started to walk away. He didn't want to hear this. "You'll just feel more pain if you continue Yuki."
"This isn't about me! It's about Sora, and how she feels right now."
"How do you think she feels now?"
"Confused, maybe even scared. I can only imagine what it must feel like." Yuki turned and faced Shigure. "That's why I must help her!"
"Yuki, you've only known this girl for a week and now you're acting like this?"
"I'm not in love!" Shigure looked at him with disbelief. "And how exactly is she supposed to continue with life, feeling like she's missing something?"
"How do you know Yuki?" Their voices were getting a lot higher. "You don't know how she feels! Maybe she likes it this way!"
"Oh come on Shigure! Surely you don't think Sora is happy? Just think, Sora wakes up in a strange hotel, in her mind she missed a whole week and she doesn't know how. If I were her, I would want to know the truth. And that is what I want to give her! Is that so wrong?" Shigure was silent. "This isn't like what happened to Hatori! If I give Sora her memories back, it won't change her. She'll probably be relieved for goodness sake! Shigure, convince Akito that this is okay. One more person that knows isn't going to kill him." Shigure started to walk away.
"I'm not going to do anything of the sort." Yuki sighed.
"Then I'll do it myself." Yuki ran off.
The next day, Sora had to go to school. Kana told her that she could just come back as soon as school was over. "I'll probably be here. In case I'm not, here's a key to the hotel door." Kana handed Yuki a key. "We get to stay here for two more days. After that we can go somewhere else. I'll make sure it's close enough to your school."
"Kana, why are you doing this?" Sora asked.
"Well, because I want to." Sora still didn't understand, but she let it slide. Perhaps eventually she would understand.
"Thank you." Sora said quietly. Kana gave her a concerned look.
"What's wrong? I know there is something." Deep down, Sora didn't want to tell Kana. She had just met this women and she was already asking questions like that.
"I'll tell you when I get back." Kana didn't seem satisfied, but nodded.
When Sora got to school, the first person she ran into was Tohru. "Hello Tohru! How are you doing today?" She asked, trying to get into a better mood.
"I'm doing well!" Tohru said quickly. Tohru seemed to be in a panic, and Sora wondered why. "I've got to go. Bye!" Then she ran off.
"That was strange," Sora thought. Why had Tohru acted that way? "Well, I suppose I'll find out more as the day continues."
