*...* = memory

My eyes widened in shock at the realization that I had unknowingly been put in a trap. As long as no one knew who I was though, I was safe. Right now, though, I had a gift to give. I resumed my work, briefly viewing the torrent of memories that he held. Broken toys...a trip to the beach...no, no these were all wrong. I would need to go to a more recent memory. I sped up the flow of scenes, seeing each in my own mind, as though I was looking through his eyes. Feeling his feelings. I stopped abruptly. My eyes lit up. Perfect. Who would have ever guessed that this man had a girlfriend? A serious one, at that. I wonder what happened.... I gasped, my hand to my mouth, as I saw, quite clearly, what. A young woman, a dark figure, a crashing vase, a scream, blood, your fault, your fault, YOUR FAULT!!! A crying woman, a hurt doctor, giving her his last gift...a flash of light, a crying man. The scenes rippled through my mind like a nightmare, the emotions almost overbearing. I was cramming months of pain, anger, suffering, injustice, and lost love into the span of a few seconds. I calmed the memory. It had been too long tucked away, but never forgotten. I took a shaky breath, and searched the memories before that. Finally, I landed on the perfect one. I smiled slightly. Enjoy the show.

* I turn to the girl beside me. She is looking in amazement at the astonishing view we had of the ocean. It was early sunset, and the sky had plumes of gold, that faded along the horizon into purple shades. Waves rose and fell, lapping at the glittering sand. The first few stars began to appear, as the sun dipped further and further down. "Kana" I called her attention quietly. "Kana, I just wanted to say that I love you like I have never loved anyone else. But you don't have to settle with someone who is cursed. You deserve someone who can hold you. Kana, I...my words were cut off when she lent forward, and kissed me. When we broke apart, she murmured, "It doesn't matter that you can't hold me. I will always love you. I am very happy that im in love with you." I smiled, as I looked at this beautiful young woman, the woman I had loved and been loved by for months. "Me too, Kana. Me too." *

I watched the man in front of me relive a long-buried memory. A smile played on his usually deadpan face. I waited for the memory to end, when blissful happiness would once again become the pain of remembrance. As I was thinking on how I was going to explain what happened, his olive eyes slowly blinked open, and he shakily sat up, a look of dazzling happiness on his face. I sighed, and closed my eyes. It would come back to him in a minute. The harsh reality. I looked back up, and realized he was staring at me. "Um...oh...that..." I stumbled awkwardly for the right words on how to describe what I had just done. He was looking down at the floor, holding a hand to his head. Suddenly, his jade-colored eyes opened wide, and said in a tone of awe "Mika? Mika...is that you?"

A/N- so, there was Hatori's memory...but who is Mika? And what is her connection to Hatori? Find out in the next chapter (as long as I keep getting reviews)!!!
