Chapter 18

Another Missed Day Of School

Last time on The Curse I Never Had -Midori got the beating of her life...from Rin! Now she's too hurt to go to school...again.
Well, I've come this far in my story. My goal is to have at least 20 chapters, but I want to try for a bigger number...like 50. Okay, okay...that's too high for me, but I promise a sequel and I've got it all planned out. I have a four day weekend at this writing so this is 'write your heart out' vacation.

At school, I've been lending out manga and anime for a small fee and I have made Fruits Basket a very popular item...I wonder how that happened...Well, I get this thing called a dividend and it has $900 on it and I get to use $150 on manga and anime from the Comic Shop! What this has to do with my fic is way beyond me. Just to tell you about myself I guess. Who wants to hear disclaimers? I don't!

STANDARD DISCLAIMERS APPLY! If you sue me I'm afraid that all you'll get a plushie...or a penny. Too bad that you can't with this little message sitting here on this chapter. It's a shame really.
Midori's POV (You never know. For all I know, you could just have had amnesia and forgot that it's always Midori's POV)
When I got up, Haru was sleeping on the floor next to my bed. I had a lot of difficulty getting up out of bed, but when I did manage to get up, I had to be careful to not wake Him. When I got out of the room unnoticed, I saw the boy that Rin had talked about...Miamaru. He was sleeping on my couch, so I had to be quiet going up the stairs.

When I got to the kitchen, Tohru was awake and when she saw the state I was in, she immediately declared, "There's no way that you're going to even think about going to school today! School may be important, but there's no way that you can go like that."

"Okay," I replied. No use arguing. I sat at the table with Kyo and amazingly, he didn't say anything mean. We just sat there as one by one, everybody got up and took a seat.

All was silent for a while until Sensei came down. "I knew something like this would happen..." He said this more to himself than anybody. I did have to admit that I knew something like that would've happened, only I thought that Rin would be the one hurt...not me.

When Miamaru came up, he asked me, "Where am I from?"

"Wha?" I stammered.

"This may not be the time to askMidori things like that," said Sensei.

"Oh, okay..." Miamaru said glumly. I really had no clue what he was talking about, so I left it at that.

When breakfast was done, everybody left to go to school except Miamaru, Haru, and I. He said that he wouldn't go if I couldn't. I wasn't going to argue, so I stayed home.

Miamaru had a good reason to not go to school because he wasn't enrolled in a school since he had dropped out already. So we just sat there in silence.

Ha'ri's POV
Haru told me that he didn't want Rin to be sad or mad because of his relationship with Midori, so he asked me to erase her memories so that she could be happy again. He said that it was best for her to not remember thatMidori loved him, and that he didn't wantMidori to be hurt again.

So I went and asked her to come and see me the following day.

When she came, I was worried about what I was going to do. If Akito were to find out aboutMidori and Haru or me erasing someone's memory without permission or being told to do so by him, then it would probably be the end of all of us. I pushed that aside from my mind as she asked why she was being called to see me.

"I was asked to erase your memory ofMidori and Haru's relationship. I'm sorry Rin," I stammered.

"But, Hatori! I don't want them to be erased! Hatori!" she shouted as I erased her memories.

Well, wasn't that a dramatic chapter...sorry for that! This isn't very long either, but writer's block is spreading throughout my body like a disease. I have to keep calling all sorts of friends for ideas and ugh! It's sooooo hard! Please excuse me if I have shorter chapters than usual.
