Notable Notes from Misaki: Heya everyone! Sorry for taking so long for this update, we've been having a sort of joint writer's block. Odd, no? Ahaha, you people should bow to us now, for updating! Hahahahaha! Okay, onto serious matters: PLEASE READ THIS! Kyo and I have conferred about ages in this story. Now, forget anything that you have previously read in this story. Akito's "official" age is 28, one year older than the Mubadatchi trio. Aki's age has been bumped down to 10 years. Everyone else is the same. Thank you! See bottom of the page for replies to reviewers.
Notable Notes from Kyo: Yeah, what she said. (She is a Queen turned Assassin after all.)
Misaki: *sniff*

Hidden MemoriesChapter 6
Written by: both of us! Yippee!
~*~
Aya looked out the window dejectedly as he waited for news on Yuki. The doctor had ushered everyone but Hatori out, so he could examine Yuki one last time before the transfusion. The waiting room was virtually empty, only Aya and a young couple were there, and the only sound that could be heard was the sound of crying from the young couple, and the birds chirping outside. Tension was thick in the air, and Aya, for once in his life, was being serious. The only window in the vicinity showed a sickening, cheery world, with bright sunlight, blue skies, and birds chirping. It was like the world didn't care if Yuki died. [We don't]
As Hatori helped Yuki's doctor set the room up for the blood transfusion, Yuki's asthma started to work up. He and the other doctor struggled to get the attack under control and stabilize Yuki for the transfusion. Akito had donated a pint of blood, but it was all he could donate safely for the moment. Yuki's only hope was that blood he was getting from Akito, without it, he had no chance of life. Suddenly, Yuki stirred, and opened his pale purple eyes. He stared ahead, his unseeing eyes pale and lifeless. His face twisted in pain as another asthma attack hit.
"Yuki, if you can hear me, try to breathe in," Hatori said as he pushed the inhaler into Yuki's mouth. Yuki took a shuddering breath, as Hatori pressed the inhaler button [or whatever you call that thing] and Yuki closed his eyes, unconscious again. His whole body went limp, and Yuki's forgotten doctor pressed the IV into Yuki's arm. Hatori, satisfied that Yuki was stable for the moment, walked over to Akito.
"Yuki has a much better chance of living now, but he may need more blood later. You should try to get some rest."
Akito nodded, but said, "Hatori…my previous order still stands. After this has been completed, I want you to erase everyone's memories, including yourself. And you need to find that girl."
"Yes, Akito."
"Good." Akito smirked, adjusting himself on the hospital bed. Hatori sighed, and left the room to go talk to Ayame.
~*~
"Ayame…did you know? About all of this?" Hatori asked the silver-haired man quietly. They were sitting in the waiting room, each sipping a cup of tea.
The yellow-eyed hebi stared off into the distance, at a point that was apparently somewhere in the wall. After a moment, he replied. "…Yes…"
Besides him, Hatori stiffened slightly. "Why…didn't you tell us before? Akito even made me erase my own memory."
Ayame sighed. "He said that he'd hurt Yuki if I told anyone. It's not like I could go against him…"
Hatori sighed as well, rubbing his forehead. He could feel a headache coming on. "Well, he couldn't have done any worse than he did just now."
"I know…I'm sorry…I just wish that…I had the courage to tell you." He turned to look at Hatori. "I mean, if I had told just you, Akito probably never would have found out, would he? You wouldn't tell, would you?"
Hatori shook his head, and they sat in silence for a moment.
"I hate this family!"
Hatori looked startled at the outburst for a moment, but nodded. "As do I."
"I don't understand it! How can we be ruled by a guy who is only a year older than us?"
Hatori glanced around, but there was no one else in the waiting room. "I understand perfectly, perhaps even more than you do. You are almost never around the main house, since you're always at your shop, but I have to be around him every moment of my day, making sure that he doesn't get sick."
"Hatori…do you think that we could stand up to him? I mean, there are so many of us, and there's only him!"
Hatori was quiet for a moment. Then… "Yes. After Yuki gets well again, that's when we can act."
Ayame grinned at his friend, gloom totally dissolved. "Why, Hari, I never knew you had it in you!"
Hatori gave a small grin himself. "Well, you can't judge people by how they look."

Notable Notes from Misaki: Waha! We are evil, no? Stopping the chapter right as it was getting good. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah *runs out of breath and falls over* Ahaha, Kyo, the flowers are singing!
Notable Notes from Kyo: I was tired when I started the chapter, it wasn't my fault the flowers were singing. Maybe in this story they were. Or maybe I have Toey again.
Misaki: haha, I ate Toey. *evil grin* Mwahaha…. To quote 'friday': "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee"
Kyo: Ash help!!! She's scaring me, and I can't type well enough to get back at her!!!
Misaki: To the reviewers: When writing this story, Kyo said that the flowers were singing. Fortunately, I noticed, and changed it to "blue skies." Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
Kyo: I... What was I going to say? Oh well, I'm just going insane like Misaki, nothing serious.
Misaki: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE *precious hair*
Kyo: Baka Keyboard. I can't type tonight. Oh well, I'll just join Misaki "EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE"
Misaki: precious kidneys….
Kyo: Okay the hair I got, but the kidneys?
Misaki: It was his grandmother.
Kyo: I'm going to run away now…. Maybe I'll learn to type again, and how to spell maybe or is it mabye? *Wanders off*
Misaki: eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee *chases after Kyo*
Kyo: Hah!!! Misaki can't type either!!!
Misaki: Can I implode the universe now?
Kyo: No dear, not until next month, after Christmas, so we can watch the new anime we get over the holidays.
Misaki: How do you know I won't eat the anime? _
Kyo: Well… What if you get more Naruto?
Misaki: one word: YUM.
Kyo: Kami what did I ever do to you?

Kyo: Note to readers: If you want to understand the above conversation about shoes, go listen to Jefferson Aeroplane by Relient K. And if you want to understand the rest of the conversation, don't even try, you have to be insane like us.

Author's notes (By Kyo)
Riyao Machrine- "It may not be possible to you but it is, Yuki"? I'm confused.
iishi- Here ya go. *gives her 'Gure doll set* I'll try to make the next chapter longer. And I can't reveal the person standing up for Yuki, they are now protected by the Witness Protection Program because of all the Kyou fans and YTC club members that are after them.
Yume no Kokoro- Arigatou!!! I never get compliments.
tiggy-54- Well, here's another update!
Thanks once again to all the reviewers who bother to review my chapters, I really appreciate it!
Review Replies to Chapter 5 by Misakiiishi- well…is Akito is a sinister-type person! You can thank Kyo for the Shigure doll-set. She's the one who's handing them out. ^_^
Kara the Half Wolf- Your wish has been granted!
kireina- lol. When I first started watching the series, I kept getting Akito and Yuki confused. Not like I could ever do that now! Akito is…ah…and Yuki is…blah…
Sakura Avalon or Kinomoto- ^_^ yeah, the similarities between the two is the reason that this fic was created.
Lady Kayena- Glad you like it. About chapter length…eh…we write this together (sometime), so it really depends on the amount of time we have to write, combined with the laziness/creativeness factor. XD
Ashes of Death- OMG, the date on your review is 8-8-2003. Was it really the beginning of August when we last updated?! Oh my…
And please, people! We know that Yuki's blood is type A! However, he needed to be type O for our story purposes. And that's another thing. It's our story. We can give Yuki whatever type of blood we want to, because we are writing it!
Oh, and whoever said that it wasn't possible for Ayame and Yuki not to have the same blood types, here are some notes for you:
According to Kyo, who's studied it in Biology, it is possible for two children of the same parents to have different blood types. It doesn't matter, anyway, because, if you remember properly, Ayame and Yuki aren't really brothers! It is Yuki and Akito who are the "true" brothers. Ayame is their stepbrother!Thank you.
