Kyo Sohma

This name seemed to be buzzing around the inside of Tohru's head for nearly two weeks after her weekend visit with her two dear friends. Ever since then, she had been feeling quite bothered. Why was she dreaming of this Kyo she went to school with but yet felt she had no other ties with? This same Kyo who also befriended her little girl and invaded her dreams.

None of this made sense. It didn't seem real! It couldn't be real! But why? Why did Hana say that her memories were finally returning? To all that Tohru knew, she hit her head and had some amnesia. She didn't know that her memories had been suppressed.

At the Main House, it was yet another busy work day. So busy that Tohru had sent Sachiko to stay at her Aunty Uo and Hana's apartment to stay for the next few nights. Stress was higher than ever and the atmosphere behind the scenes reached its peak.

Tohru had just returned to the kitchen with used dishes in her arms. It was lunch time and the Onigiri was making her meal deliveries. Her cheeks were nearly flushed in over-exertion and she felt a little tired that day. The kitchen was a mad house but yet she was able to maneuver herself around people with ease. As she set the dirty dishes by the sink, the Onigiri felt herself spun around where she stood.

As Tohru assumed, it was Kiiro.

"Tohru, can you do a big favor for me?" The co-worker asked.

"Of course, Kiiro." Tohru replied. "What is it you want me to do for you?"

"I need you to deliver a dinner meal for me."

"Where to?"

"The Cat's Room." Kiiro replied, already shoving a heavy tray into Tohru's hands.

"But…I—"

But before Tohru could say anymore, she was already pushed along and out of the kitchen. She stood there for a few minutes, feeling herself shake. She couldn't do this! She was too afraid to go! She would just go back in there and tell Kiiro she just couldn't."

"She's relying on you." Tohru told herself. "She's counting on you to do this!"

Kyo was working out when he heard the door open and shut. He quickly slunk to his spot by the barred wall, his back towards the entering maid.

Tohru saw Kyo retreat to his spot as she entered and took in a nervous breath. "G-good afternoon, it's nice to see you again. I-I have some lunch for you."

Kyo let his mind do all the talking. "Sounds like the same girl from last time."

As nervous as she was, Tohru began to strike up a conversation as she set up lunch. "I-I heard that my daughter has befriended you."

"Sachiko?" The Neko asked.

"Yes." Replied Tohru. "If she's bothering you, I can tell her not to come here anymore."

He shook his head. "She's a good kid. Let her come if she wants."

Tohru began to gather the dirty dishes. "I found your picture in my best friend's Kaibara High School yearbook."

"So?"

"I-I just thought it would be nice to talk to someone who went there, too. My friends seem to remember who you are, but I don't."

"Who are your friends?"

Tohru smiled and gave a small laugh. "Arisa Uotani-san and Saki Hanajima-san."

The Neko's eyes suddenly widened as he felt his body turn around. He stood up as quickly as he saw her. Standing just mere feet away was the one person he thought that he would never see again in his lifetime.

His love—Tohru.

His Tohru!

She was here!

"To-Tohru?" He croaked nervously, not believing what his eyes were beholding.

The Onigiri noticed Kyo staring at her and she took a step back. "Y-yes, that is my name."

Kyo made an advance towards Tohru. "I don't believe it! You're here! You're here! What are you doing here?"

"I'm doing what my job tells me to do." Replied Tohru, backing away. "I'm a maid."

Kyo noted his love's nervous behavior. "Tohru, what's wrong?"

The Onigiri kept walking back until her back came in contact with the wall. "I don't think you should come any closer."

But he still kept coming. "Tohru, it's me!"

"I'm sorry, but I think you have me mistaken for someone else. I really don't know who you are."

Kyo froze, a light finally dawning. Her memories had been suppressed! "Tohru…"

"Please stay where you are." Tohru whispered as her fear rose.

But the Neko started walking towards her again until he was no more than a foot away. "Your memories…they can't be gone…please remember me! You said you'd never forget me. Well it's me! It's Kyo Sohma—"

"What am I supposed to remember?!" Tohru cried. "Why does everyone seem to know I've forgotten something! What am I supposed to remember?!" She didn't understand at all.

"Tohru…" Kyo started as he reached out for her.

But in the next instant, Tohru had dropped the tray and was out the door as fast as she could. The key to the cat's room fell to the ground with a small ting.

Kyo stepped around the broken glass the impact of the tray had left behind and walked to the open door. He watched her vanish from sight with disbelieving eyes. How could she reject him like this? How could she let those memories go? He then sank to his knees as tears came rolling down his cheeks, screaming out in emotional pain and sorrow.

"TOHRU, COME BACK!"
