SHIGURE'S HOUSE

"Aren't you happy to be home, Tohru-kun?" Shigure asked.

"Who are you? I don't know you guys.. This isn't my home..." Tohru spoke up.

Everyone was stunned.

"What are you talking about?" Kyo asked confused.

"You're not my family. I don't even know you." Tohru said softly.

"Tohru! Look at me! I'm Yuki!" Yuki started shaking Tohru.

"Hatori! Explain this!" Haru said

"It could be memory loss from all the she was in the coma." Hatori said rubbing his chin.

"Tohru, Do you remember me?" Momiji pointed at himself. Tohru shook her head.

"Tohru, you don't remember ANYONE here?" Kyo said

"Tohru looks around. "Ah! I remember you." She said pointing to Shigure.

"Oh my god! Tohru-kun remembers me! She remembers me!" Shigure said ever so happily.

"Your my family's personal driver." Tohru said

Everyone grows silent.

"Why am I here? Did you kidnap me?" Tohru said kinda scared.

"No, Tohru were-"

"Yes, we did kidnap you." Haru began. And nudged Kyo.

"Uh.. yeah! You're family is um gone so until they pay the ransome..." Kyo said trying his best to make somethings up.

"You're staying right here!" Momiji pointed out.

"Exactly! If you need help we'll help you, and don't forget to tell us if you need help." Shigure said.

"Um.. We sent him (Yuki) to take care of you." Hatori points to Yuki.

Yuki looks at everyone, who is giving him the look, so then he decides to play along.

"Uh.. yeah. If you need anything I'm right here."

Tohru gives a somewhat sad look.

After the next few days, Tohru continues acting cold and still has her memory loss. Until one day, when she was home with Kagura.

"Tohru! Why don't you try walking." Kagura smiled.

"I can't.." Tohru replied softly.

"Hmmm.. I know a way that just might work! Be right back!" Kagura runs in the kitchen, and five minutes later, she comes back with a kettle filled with hot water and a large basin. She puts Tohru's feet inside the basin and starts pouring in the hot water.

"Do you feel anything?" Kagura asked. Tohru shakes her head. Kagura pours more hot water, and still nothing. Shr repeats process a few more times and still nothing.

"Hm.. the water is getting pretty hot. Let's try something else." She then came back with a small bucket of ice cubes and pur that into the basin.

"Feel anything?" Tohru shakes her head. Kagura adds more ice and still nothing. "It's ok Tohru, let's add more ice and see what happens." As Kagura reached for the bucket of ice, Tohru stopped her.

"It's ok, Kagura..." Tohru said.

"W-What did you call me??" Kagura was shocked
