I don't care that I'm one review short, even I don't know where this fic is going and I sure as heck wanna find out. Oh and next chapter at, around… let's try 160! No too low… maybe 163… yea I'm not updating till my 163rd review, so all you people who've never reviewed, now is a good time to start!
Chapter 22- Day 10 Part 2- Fear and Memories
Tohru didn't feel the cold hands of her friends trying to wake her, or the hands of the doctor who was examining her. She was out cold, dead cold, it was scary, she was pale and injured. Uo banged her fist into the door and kicked it as well, "SHE HAS FOUR GOD DAMN DAYS LEFT! THIS ISNT RIGHT!"
Hana sighed sadly, and placed her hand on Uo's shoulder, "Yuki will not let our Tohru die. I will not let her either."
"Hana… she's not doing well… she can only take so much strain. The fourteen days may have just been an estimate by Hatori… if Yuki learns one more thing she may not live."
"She will not let herself die."
"But…"
"The will to live is stronger then anything else." Hana said smiling at Uo. Uo nodded reluctantly.
(Tohru POV)
Where am I? Where is this place? Why is it so dark and cold…?
In front of me Yuki is standing, I reach out my hand to grab him yet he fades into this suffocating darkness.
YUKI! My cried words echo around this place, a cold tear runs and freezes on my cheek. I touch it; it feels like ice as I wipe it off.
I fall to my knees, crying out for anyone, it hurts, my heart hurts, but I can't feel anything else. And then suddenly I'm falling… why am I falling? Someone save me… please… I land on a hard piece of whatever this place is… and look around, it looks familiar somehow yet it doesn't.
I see a tall man with black hair, he is making like zodiac figurines. It makes me smile and forget where I am… then an orange haired boy comes out screaming at the man. I scrunch my eyes up trying to remember who they are… no luck… then another man comes out, his eyes are a wonderful purple and his hair is a gorgeous shade of gray, I so want to know who he is but I can't… A girl rushes past me, her eyes are gray and her hair is brown, she has a cat backpack that she drops as she hugs the orange haired boy who is desperately trying to free himself from her. Then a man with black and white hair and piercings appears and with him is a little girl, she has the most unusual eye and hair color I've ever seen… a boy is behind them, he is wearing… a pink shirt? And he is… speaking German?
Who are these people? Who am I? Why do I see this?
(Author POV)
Tohru begins to awake, her eyes flutter wildly. Uo and Hana rush over to her. Uo is wild and anxious, "Tohru?! Are you okay?"
"…Tohru… is… is that my name?" Tohru asks confused.
Uo looked like someone smacked her and Hana hung her head, "Yes, your name is Tohru Honda."
Uo looked at Hana weirdly, she didn't add her other title, 'Sohma'.
"Why am I here, and why does it hurt HERE." She put her hand to her heart.
"You fainted, and I don't know… do you know who we are?" Hana said softly.
"Um… you look familiar… Saki Hanajima?"
"That's right, and that's…"
"Arisa Uotani." Tohru said smiling, "Can you help me?"
"Anything Tohru." Uo said coming up to her.
"When I fainted I had the most outrageous vision, or dream, memory, I'm not sure… but in it was a man with large purple eyes and gray hair do you know who he is?"
"YOU DON'T REMEMBER THE PRINCE?!"
Hana shushed her, "No, sorry we don't know."
"Hana…"
Hana looked at Uo, and shook her head. Uo understood.
"Tohru, we have to go… we'll be back later okay?"
"Okay! Come back soon!" Tohru said cheerfully.
"What are you doing Hana?"
"If Tohru doesn't remember him, maybe she can get better, and put this whole thing behind her…"
"And what if she remembers eventually? She'll be mad…"
"Maybe, maybe not… but if she is alive now and not in as much pain then it was the memories hurting her… she can be free Uo… and if you're really worried we can Hatori to permanently rid her of them… he'd understand…"
"Hana…"
"Uo, you know this is the right thing."
"No Hana, only half of me knows."
Hana looked at her with sad eyes and Uo looked down at her with sad and angry eyes.
"What will we tell the Prince?"
Hana smiled, "I know, just leave it to me."
Uo nodded and went back to Tohru. Hana headed home to right a letter to Japan…
Dear Yuki Sohma,
Stop finding stories and memories. If you love Tohru, then you will cease this. You are the Family Leader now and Tohru is fine, do not come to see her. If you love her like we do, you will trust us and leave her alone. If you must send someone, send Hatori… Yuki please let us take care of our Tohru. You've done enough. We thank you for caring but please stop now.
Saki Hanajima
Hana may not seem like a direct person but she can be and she needed for Yuki to get the point and hope he stopped. She just hoped that he wouldn't come to America to ask Tohru herself, which would be a disaster that just might kill Tohru.
Hana went and sent the letter off; making sure it would reach him later that day.
(Yuki POV)
I was in a panic, what the Hell was going on with the world?! I ran to the gates of the Sohma Estate and waiting outside… was a mailman.
"Sorry, do you need something?"
"I'm looking for Sohma, Yuki."
"I am Sohma, Yuki."
"Here's your letter sir. Good day." The mailmen walked away. The envelope he handed me was black with purple writing on it, no return address, I shivered as I opened it and read Hana's letter.
I looked at the letter many times; I stood there, not moving, "I swear, if I didn't think Tohru loved me, I'd think she was trying to torture me." I laughed to myself, trying to laugh off Hana's letter. It didn't work.
I thought it over… Hana wouldn't lie… and she wouldn't be so direct if it wasn't important. I went home to Shigure's and locked himself in my room. I sat down on my bed and looked at the wall then I buried my head in my hands and cried. After a few minutes, I wiped my eyes, 'Crying won't help anyone… so… if Hana and Uo think this is best for her, then fine… I'm sorry Tohru… I love you and I hope you're happy and better.'
I stood up and went downstairs where Aya and Shigure were talking and Akito had just walked in. Akito smiled at me, I didn't smile back, "I am Family Leader. Tohru will not be coming back, and we will not be married."
I stood there waiting for the reaction.
