Theme # 33 - Who?
"Tohru? Tohru? Are you awake?" A tall blonde girl was waving a hand in front of her half-lidded eyes.
"Mm..." She mumbled. She didn't want to wake up.
"Tohru? Oh, geez, come on, wake up!" The blonde said, exasperated. "We made a deal didn't we? You said that you, Hana, and I would all go shopping today."
Tohru's head felt heavy and she thought she could actually see the world spinning for a second. Then, looking over every detail of the blonde girl's face, she said, "Who are you?"
"What?! What do you mean 'who am I'? It's me, Uo."
"Oh... Miss Uo... I'm very sleepy."
Uo raised an eyebrow. "Tohru... did you hit your head again?"
For a second, Tohru considered, but then she shook her head, still not moving it off the pillow. She couldn't have hit her head. She was just tired. And she didn't even know this girl.
"I'll be right back." Uo said. Then she left the room.
Tohru studied her surroundings, feeling very strange. She tried to figure out where she was. The room was furnished in pink and yellow. The window allowed a dawn grey light to seep in.
The girl who was Uo returned a minute later, dragging a boy who looked about as out of it as Tohru felt.
"Tohru, don't you recognize Yuki?" She asked. "He says you hit your head last night and you've been unconscious ever since."
Tohru shook her head and rolled onto her side in bed in search of a more comfortable position. "Miss Uotani?" Yuki asked, still in a daze.
"What?"
"Maybe if we find someone who does spark a memory for her..."
Uo nodded. "That's a pretty good idea. Go get the writer guy."
Yuki, shoulders slumped and eyes drooping, made his way out the bedroom door. "Uotani..." Tohru said. "Who is the 'writer guy'?"
All day, members of the Sohma family entered and left Tohru's room, forcing her to stay awake and try to identify them. First it was Yuki, then Shigure, then Hatori, Momiji, Kisa, Hatsuharu, Ayame, etc.
When the last of the light of the day was fading from the window, one last person came in. He had orange hair and maroon red eyes. Tohru looked and looked at him as he made his way over and sat on the side of the bed next to Torhu.
He didn't say anything, and he didn't tell Tohru his name. He just brushed some of her hair off her forehead and smiled a little bit. He kissed her cheek gently, and she blushed.
"Tohru?" He finally asked. "Do you remember me?"
"Of course, Kyo." She said softly. "How could I forget?"
