Chapter IV: Getting Kyo

Yuki

"How's Honda-san, Momiji? Was she happy to see you, did she remember...?

Momiji looked away.

"No, she didn't..." What was with that short answer? Momiji loved to talk and I would have assumed he was delighted to see how Honda-san was... Then again she wasn't quite her old self. Could that have been the problem?

Shigure entered the room.

"Heh heh, did she hit on you too, Momiji?" he teased.

Momiji didn't answer for awhile, something was bothering him I could tell.

"No." Finally he looked up with his bright usual smile.

"She's acting different yes, but she's not really her true self. Tell me if she gets better! Bye bye!" He rushed out.

I looked a bit stunned at the boy who ran out. What had happened in there?

Tohru

Somehow I felt a bit sad after saying that to that boy...

I tried to remember, but when I did it hurt so much, and when I stopped trying everything felt so wonderful.

I felt free. Maybe it would be better to forget.

I glanced at the picture of the nightstand. I didn't really have to remember right? I knew my name, I knew what I did. Conclusion, what was the meaning to know old memories? Now I could be reborn, start over a new life, this wasn't an opportunity everyone got.

Kyo

I knocked on her door,

"Yeah?" I heard her say. Jeez, what kind of reply was that? Perhaps something I would say but not Tohru...

"It's Kyo, I'm coming in."

"OK!" She sounded happy, had something happened? "Hey, Kyo."

It was dark in her room, only her lamp on her desk was lit.

"I... washed your clothes since you were away... Here." I put them on her chair.

She giggled.

"Did you enjoy washing my underwear?" she asked. (Authoress Note: Even I'm shocked by this comment! O_O)

Eh... what the...? I could feel all my blood rushing to my face. This dirty talk was something Tohru would never say, it felt strange hearing those words from her.

"What are you talking about?" I said sounding annoyed.

"Hih hih, what do you think?" she ran her fingers through her long hair.

"Maybe I should go..."

"NO! You always rush out, don't. Sit down next to me, let's... talk."

Everything was so different, even her voice, it didn't sound like her, but I guess your voice adjusted to your personality... And now she was... different. What did she want to talk about?

I sat down a bit uncomfortable.

She moved closer to me. I was sweating, cold sweat. So nervous.

"Kyo, you look strong..." Eh?

"Heh, I wish I was, then I could beat that stupid mouse," the words just came out automatically, I didn't think about it.

"Huh? You mean Yuki?"

"Yeah..."

"Hmm, we shouldn't be talking about Yuki, let's.." Before she finished the sentence I was at the door.

"Gotta study! Later."

I closed the door and sighed. My heart was pounding really fast and I found myself smiling a bit foolish.

NO! Don't! She's not acting like herself.

But I couldn't help feeling a bit glad, but after awhile the happiness settled and it felt like nothing, perhaps even irritation at what she said. When she remembered again she would probably apologize about her 'rude' behavior and never do something like that again.

Kisa

Finally, Momiji was home!

I wanted to visit onee-san as well but I was afraid she was feeling too ill too meet anyone. I wanted her to rest and be as healthy as possible!

"How was she?" I asked quietly.

"She... seems fine except the amnesia of course. I don't think you should see her though, she's not quite herself."

Why? I don't care if she's not herself, I wanted to see her. But I was not the one to argue since I trusted Momiji.

"I'll wait."

Momiji

If Tohru could say those cold words to me, I'm sure she would have no problem saying it to Kisa also.

Shigure

Akito had called, saying he wanted to talk to me. I was now in the main house outside, sitting beside the Master.

"She's different I heard," he mumbled.

"Yeah," I said.

He smiled and gently let go of the bird, watching it fly away.
