Chapter Four: Flooding Memories

Tohru's P.O.V.

All I wanted was him to love me… love me and never leave me… I was a fool to think he'd ever return my feelings… I knew he was leaving, and I tired so hard to break the curse… but I failed, and he gave up and left… I failed him, and everyone else… I'm pathetic…

I thought, curled up in a ball on Kyo-kun's bed. Rin sat next to me, holding my hand while I cried. Suddenly, she got up, and jumped over me and off the bed. She knelt down before me, and held my face in her hands, and said,

"Tohru! Look – look at me."

I slowly looked at her – and there was pain in her eyes.

"Isuzu-san? What's wrong?"

"Tohru-chan! I just can't see you like this! I have to do something! I can't stand to see you waste away before my eyes…" she broke off.

I stared at her, then spoke.

"Call Hatori, please."

Rin nodded, immediately understanding my decision.

"But – only him… right?"

"Yes. Only him. Not you, or anyone else. Only Kyo-kun." I said, the last word choked out.

Rin left the room and came back a few moments later, followed my Hatori. She shut the door, and left us alone.

"Yes, Tohru-chan? How are you feeling?" he asked.

"Hatori… I want to forget Kyo-kun. Just like Momiji-kun's mama forgot him, and…" I paused. "Kana forgot your love. I want to forget my love for Kyo-kun… him altogether. I – won't heal if I don't."

Hatori answered, immediately, and said, "Alright. I can understand that. Do you want to tell the others?"

I shook my head. "Just do it."

"Alright."

And he put him palm over my eyes, as a tear streaked down my face – and I forgot everything, that I loved.

Tohru's P.O.V.

Two years later…

"Yuki-kun! Dinner's ready!" I called up the stairs of our small apartment together, not far from Shigure-sans house, where we used to live before we got married a couple of months ago. I was so happy.

"Coming Miss Honda!" he called from his study, and I soon heard his footsteps coming down the steps.

"You know, Yuki-kun, you can call me Tohru. Or Miss Sohma, if you prefer. We're married."

He blushed. "Just habit." He said and smiled, giving me a small peck on the lips.

Just as we were going to sit down, the phone rang, and Yuki-kun got up to answer it.

"Hey, Hatori!" he said. "Wha-" but he stopped.

I got up and walked behind him – his face was stricken. "He's – dead?"

I gasped. "Yuki-kun, who – " But he held out his hand for me to be quiet, so I stopped in mid sentence.

"I'll be right over."

He set down the phone, and turned to me.

"Akito's dead." He said, and put his hands on my shoulders. "I have to be at the Main Estate in a few minutes and I don't know how long I'll be. Don't wait up for me. I'll call."

I nodded, concerned by his monotone voice. "Yuki-kun? Are you okay?" I asked, looking at him intently.

"Yeah." He said quietly, "I have to go."

He gave me a peck on the cheek, and left, grabbing his coat off the hook by the door as he went. I sighed, walked back into the kitchen, pulling the pot of miso off the stove, and putting it into a Tupperware to save for another dinner during the week. I went back to the table and ate quietly, thinking.

I love Yuki. He was always there for me – and I know he loves me too. But sometimes… I feel like he's holding back, or hiding something from me. He's not exactly a cold husband, but we never really got intimate…

I get this strange feeling like he knows something, about me, that I don't know myself. Like… I can't even explain it. He acts like this marriage won't last forever. And that scares me. Doesn't he want to be with me?

Of course he does! He married you! He loves you. Stop thinking like that. I thought, reprimanding myself.

But I couldn't help it.

I was so confused.

And pretty soon I was crying.

"What do I do?" I sobbed, as it began to rain.

"Maybe I can help." Said a voice behind me, and I jumped up, gasping, and saw a man, about my age, standing in the doorway, with flaming orange hair, looking at me with a longing in his eyes.

"Who are you? What are you – "

"It's me – Kyo!" he said, walking in and shutting the door, but a foot stopped it from closing.

"Get away from her you stupid cat!" yelled Yuki-kun, and sent him flying into the wall with one punch. "How can you walk in here! How can you think she'll forgive you!? Do you think I'll let her?"

"Yuki-ku-" I began, afraid. I had never seen him so angry.

"Tohru! Stay out of this!" he yelled, rounding on me – and I gasped, backing up, tears streaming down my face. Yuki-kun has never yelled at me.

"Oh, Tohru. I'm so sorry. My darling, wife." He said.

"WIFE?!" yelled the man, Kyo, shocked and outraged.

"You lost your chance by running away! You lost her forever! Don't you understand what you did to her?! She was BROKEN! And I fixed her! She's whole again, without you!"

Kyo looked at him, stricken – back and forth between us. "Married." He said.

"Umm, Yuki-kun? Who is this? What is going on? What are you talking about?"

Kyo looked at Yuki-kun. "What did you DO to her! Brainwash her?!" he accused.

"No. We erased her memories of you."

There was a sudden flash of white light, and I gasped, and slumped to the floor, unconscious, as my memories came flooding back to me.

A/N: hahaha. But, YAY! she gets her memories! But - wait! she's married to YUKI!!! what will happen! Review and I'll update!
