((wow I just got in this major mood to write fruits….maybe its that volume I just bought….and the sudden erge to write about Kyo XD Anyway, I made this chapter longer than usual cause well, the chapters shouldn't be so short the way they are. BUT I don't have a lot of free time to write fruits which is why they are always so short. But since I have nothing to do and tons of time to write and a good amount of inspiration, here you go! Two chapters in one day, wow a record for this story….))

What If- Chapter 11

Tohru looked at Haru for a long moment and thought about what she was going to say. She decided the truth was the best. She closed her eyes for a moment and collected her thoughts then opened her eyes again and smiled softly.

"Not long ago did we know each other, I knew all of the Sohma and we were all very happy. One day as Kyo and I were walking home we both wished something and our wishes came true, but there was a price. A little over a year ago my mom died in a car accident, a few years earlier my father died of pneumonia. Kyo's mom had also died…she was in an accident. We both wished we had our loved ones still alive. The next thing I knew I woke up with my family alive and well, but no one remembered who I was It was as if I woke up from a deep dream with all feel of the dream still intact. Kyo's mom was alive to, I was so happy for him. But things were different from what they were….everyone was different. They all had grown so much from the time I first met then and to see them back where they were is…" She stopped.

Haru waited a moment before answering. "So you woke up and no one knew who you were?" He asked.

She nodded, "Yes, but then a little while ago Kyo has been remembering things, things from before when we all knew each other. I'm not sure what's going on and it…it scares me."

I'm so afraid that I'll lose mom again, that dad and her will leave me again. I don't think I could go through that a second time. I don't think I will be able to push myself like I did before. Not without everyone.

"Is Kyo the only one remembering things?" Haru asked.
"Yes." she said.
"Maybe…maybe you guys have some odd connection with this. Since you both wished for almost the same thing, maybe he's just getting his memory back or something. I'm not sure…it's a mystery. Its weird that no one remembers but you and now Kyo."

Haru stretched his arms and cracked his neck, "I'll walk you home." He said. She nodded and gave a small smile but her thoughts were wandering and she couldn't stay focused on what anyone was doing around her. Before she knew it they were at her house.

"You know about the family curse?" he asked. She nodded. He thought a moment and then said good bye to her. She walked into her house and went to bed, her mind was filled with worry and un certainty.


((heads up, I don't know if it will happen but I think some people might get confused. If you are, just email me and ill sort out the confusion.))

"Tohru, your going to be late for school, are you feeling well?" Shigure asked. Tohru's eyes flew open. She looked to her door to see Shigure leaning on the door frame.

"Shigure?" She asked. She quickly got out of bed.
"Tohru I think you should probably stay home.."

She looked at everything around her. She was at Shigure's house in her old room. She wore her old pajamas and the picture of her mother was where it always had been on her desk.

Could everything have just been a dream?

"Shigure, do you know who I am? Have I always lived here? Where's mom? Where's dad?"

He looked at her confused and worried. "Tohru I really think you should stay home today, I'll call Hatori, please go back to bed." he said coming over to her and making sure she climbed back into bed.

"Where's mom? Where's dad?" She asked him again. She needed to know if it had all been a dream, she need to know…

"I think you might have had a nightmare. Tohru…your parents passed away, I'm sorry." He said and put the covers on her. Yuki and Kyo came into the room looking worried. "Is everything alright?" Yuki asked as he came into the room to see what the commotion was.

"Tohru had a bad dream is all, but I think she should stay home." Shigure said trying to reassure Yuki and Kyo. Tohru looked at each of them secretly, her mind a jumble of thoughts.

Had it really been all a dream? But everything felt so real….

Shigure and Yuki left Tohru alone as they both went to call Hatori just to be sure. Kyo stayed behind.

"You had a bad dream?" He asked her. She gave a small unknowing nod.

There was something in his eyes that made her look into them. She couldn't place it but she knew there was something wrong.

"What did you dream Kyo?" She asked sensing he also had a bad dream from the expression on his face.
"Uh…I don't know, I don't remember." he said unsure and he left her room. She was left alone to her racing thoughts.


"Well, it seems everything is fine, just the after effects of a bad dream is making you jumpy." Hatori said packing up his stuff. Momiji was with him, he didn't feel like going to school so he stayed home and upon hearing Tohru wasn't feeling well came along with Hatori to make sure she was feeling better.

"Are you sure your alright Tohru?" Momiji asked a little worried.
"Yes I'm fine! Thank you both for coming." She said happily and reassuringly.

Tohru felt bad she had missed school for something as silly as having a bad dream, and for worrying everyone. But she felt there was something more to her dream. She heard the front door close and knew Hatori had left and that Shigure was most likely in his office reading the paper. She got up and went downstairs but she was surprised to see Kyo sitting at the dinning table looking at the ceiling.

"How are you feeling?" He asked her.

"Better! Thank you!" She said happily.

"In your dream…." He began. She sat beside him and listened intently.
"Did you have a dream where everyone forgot about you?" he asked.
"Yes! How did you know?" She asked him.
"I had the same dream…Everyone forgot about you…but I was remembering."

Tohru was shocked, she didn't know what to say. She reached out her hand and clamped Kyo's. What did this mean? She didn't know. Tohru and Kyo sat there holding on to each others hand, needed a little support. Kyo's heart went out and he felt a dull ache run inside him.

Was it only a dream?
