Sheesh, that last chapter was really long! I think its a little late in the game for all these chapters to be long like that one though... This one might be long... and it might not. By the way, I apologize if there were any spelling errors in the last chapter... I'm not sure if my spell check is functioning correctly or if I've just learned to spell. Anyways... Enjoy chapter 37! It's 37, right...? 8 17
OoO
"T-Tohru?" Kyo whispered, sitting up and looking around, confused. Where was he at...? He couldn't remember why he was in this... strange, but familiar room. Why was he here... then he remembered. He was staying with Shishou...
Wait... why was he staying with Shishou? He thought hard... then it came to him. Hatori had erased his memories under the command of Akito. Stupid Akito... how long had it been since his memories had been suppressed? How long had it been since he had seen Tohru?
Then he remembered... Tohru! But, how was he remembering?!? His memories had been suppressed! He shouldn't remember! And at this thought, Kyo found himself entering panic. Tohru! She couldn't possibly safe right now... Wait! Hatori! He would know where Tohru was!
He jumped out of bed and dashed towards the door, intent upon rescuing Tohru from whatever disaster that had befallen her since he had last seen her. How long ago was that??? How long had it been since he had seen her?? How long had it been since he had heard her voice, seen her smile????????
And so, he left on his quest to rescue Tohru, seemingly the memories of recent times forgotten.
Because, if he had just thought a little harder, he would've remembered the girl whom he had seen only a few days ago. The girl he had been dreaming of.
The girl he loved.
OoO
Hatori burst into his library; he had abandoned his post for two seconds! Two seconds!!!! Tohru was almost to the point screaming. Akito was throwing things at her, and seemed almost drunk. "Akito!" Hatori yelled, dashing forward and grabbing Akito's wrist, just as he was preparing to hurl a book at the fearful girl. "Stop!"
"NO!!" Akito screamed. "SHE TOOK THEM! SHE TOOK THEM! I WILL KILL HER! I'LL KILL HER!!"
"Akito, calm yourself!" Hatori ordered, keeping his voice calm and trying not to sound angry. His curse was broken, so he found no need to keep this... pathetic person happy.
The man screamed in furry and ripped away from Hatori's grasp. The book flew from his hand... and his target was struck. Tohru, who had tried to dash to the side, was struck in the side of the head.
And she collapsed.
