"Akito locked Kyo and Kazuma up in the room for the cat."
"What?" Yuki asked, confused. Hatori sighed, Yuki didn't know.
"When the cat graduates from High School, he is no longer allowed to live in the outside world. He is to be placed in a small dark room, with bars on the window, and no visitors." Yuki's eyes were wide and horrified. Shigure swallowed uneasily. "It is similar to the one Akito used to put you in…only for the rest of Kyo's life." Yuki sat down.
"I…I had no idea. That's terrible." He sighed. "So why are they there now?" Shigure handed Yuki an envelope.
"They know about this." Shigure said as allowed to live in the outside world. He is to be placed in a small dark room, with bars on the window, and no visitors." Yuki's eyes were wide and horrified. Shigure swallowed uneasily. "It is similar to the one Akito used to put you in…only for the rest of Kyo's life." Yuki sat down.
"I…I had no idea. That's terrible." He sighed. "So why are they there now?" Shigure handed Yuki an envelope.
"They know about this." Shigure said as Yuki read it. Yuki's eyes moved to the kitchen door, where Tohru was happily making dinner. Shigure nodded to Yuki's expression.
"That's how he got them into the room. He threatened Tohru." Hatori said.
"We have to get her out of here!" exclaimed Yuki. Hatori shushed him.
"She'll be fine as long as we show up on Saturday. If we hid her, we'd have to keep her hidden forever. Akito wouldn't give up." Reasoned Hatori.
"So what do we tell her about Kyo?"
"I wish I knew"
Dear Diary,
I got a letter from Akito today. I'm supposed to go to the Main House on Saturday. Why Saturday? I'm a kid. I've got things to do. How can he just assume I have nothing planned? But I guess I have to show up. If she hurts that stupid woman, Kisa will be upset. WAIT! What if Kisa got one of these letters? She's not ready see Akito yet! I've got to go see her.

Hana was lying awake in bed that night; she was unable to sleep. Today she sensed something very weird. There was a mass amount of waves in the air, canceling out any others she tried to hear. They were brand new, yet the oldest she had ever felt. It was strong, her head hurt. She couldn't shut them out. She moaned softly and rolled over. There was a knock at the door. She looked up and saw Megumi in the doorway. "Can you hear them?" Hana nodded. "It must be very strong for you Saki-chan. I am sorry.
"How can you hear it?" she whispered, barely audible.
"I don't know, it's very quiet. I think it has something to do with a curse. But what curse would be that big?"
"I don't know; but I wish it would go away." Megumi nodded.
"I can barely comprehend it. It must be ancient, it's just a faint buzzing." The noise suddenly reached such a high frequency that Hana cried out in pain.
"M…M…Megumi help."
"I cannot help you. The only way to stop it would be to stop it at the source."
"Can you stop it for me?"
"Lead me to it."
"Which way?" Megumi asked, shivering in the night air. Hana pointed in front of her.
"So loud…" she murmured as they traveled on. Eventually, they ended up outside a large gate. Hana read the nameplate. "Sohma Estate…" 'It makes sense. The Sohma waves were always peculiar.' She thought to herself.
"It's locked." Megumi pointed out, pulling on the door. "Sorry." He said apologetically.
"Thank you for trying." When they arrived at home, everyone was still asleep.
"Are you going to be ok by yourself Saki-chan?" Hana smiled and nodded. She retired to her room and climbed into bed, although she knew she would not sleep.
During school the next day, everyone had to run the mile. Yuki wasn't doing as well as he normally did. He was feeling dizzy and fatigue. "Hey Sohma! Are you ok? You don't look so good." Just then, Yuki passed out face-first into the grass.
Seven-year-old Yuki Sohma ran fearfully towards the pond out by Hatori's house. He needed to get away from his family. He needed to leave. As he passed Akito's room, he slowed down. The door was slightly ajar, so he peered inside. What he saw was Akito, but at the same time, not Akito. He had pointed ears, a tail, and black wings folded up behind him. His hair was long and wavy and down to his feet. Yuki gasped. "COME HERE!" Akito roared. Yuki backed up slowly. "YUKI NOW!" Yuki crept inside. Akito's voice was loud and raspy; almost inhuman. "HATORI!" The nineteen-year-old walked aimlessly into the room.
"Please erase young Yuki's memory."
"Is that really necessary?" Akito's wings folded up and disappeared and his hair turned a silvery white. His skin was no longer scaly, but a soft white. Surprisingly to Yuki, he was the most beautiful creature he had ever seen.
"Yes it is." Hatori held up his hand to Yuki's face, who passed out onto the floor.
Yuki woke up sweating and shaking. Hatori was leaning over him. Yuki sat up and looked around frantically. Tohru and the Yuki fan girls looked devastated. He looked up at Hatori in dismay. "Yuki how are you feel…"
"Why did you make me forget?"
Dear Diary,
I'm worried about Kyo. When I was about to ask about him at dinner, it seemed like Yuki, Shigure and Hatori all tried to change the subject. And I have a big test tomorrow. I would ask Yuki-kun to help me study, but he seems preoccupied. I feel very confused.
Tohru Honda
"Yuki! Yuki wake up!" Hatori shouted at Yuki, who had fell unconscious again almost as soon as he woke up.
A young (19) Ayame looked at his younger brother; in a small dark room with bars all around. "Ayame-niisan, help me!" Yuki cried in exasperation.
"Yuki?" Tears were coming silently out of Yuki's eyes. He reached his hands through the bars and grabbed Aya's hands.
"Ayame please help me." At that moment, a furious Akito burst through the door. He saw the two siblings holding hands.
"Ayame! What are you doing?"
"What are you doing to Yuki?"
"HATORI!"
"Akito no!"
"Yuki, you will live here with me from now on. I realize that it is your brother tha keeps you going." Akito smirked. "Ayame, you shall go home to your parents, neither of you will ever remember meeting." Hatori stood in the door solemnly, the color drained from his face.
"Hatori! Don't do this!" Aya shouted, tears streaming.
"DO IT NOW!" Hatori walked over and put a hand on each of their foreheads.
Yuki's eyes sprang open again. He jumped up and stared down Hatori like he was going to kill him. "Hatori!" Hatori was taken aback. Why was Yuki mad at him? "Why did you make me forget? It's your fault I don't have a relationship with my brother! Why did you make me forget him? Why did I have to live with Akito? Why? It's your fault I'm miserable!" Yuki panted heavily. "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT! I HATE YOU! I DON'T EVER WANT TO SEE YOUR FACE AGAIN!"
"You remember…"
"SHUT-UP! NEVER TALK TO ME EVER AGAIN!" Yuki got up and ran as hard as he could. He didn't know where he was going, but it was far away from there; and far away from Hatori.
Aya sat very still in his shop (he was cleaning). Why would Ha'ri do this to him? How could he forget Yuki? It wasn't fair. He buried himself in his work, choking back tears. He heard a loud, urgent rapping at the door. As soon as he opened the door, Yuki through himself around Ayame (not a dream!) "I forgot he muttered softly. "I forgot…I forgot…" Yuki was rambling continuously. Aya hugged his brother and led him to the couch.
"It's ok. I forgot too." Yuki sat up.
"But why? Why would he do this to us?" Yuki asked no one in particular, realizing that Aya remembered too. "Does he care about Akito more than us?"
"No, he was just scared like you. Young and naïve."
"But we can't make up for his mistake. Those years are gone; lost."
"Never say never my dear brother. "Yuki looked into his eyes thoughtfully. "We may not be able to get those years back, but we can certainly make up for it.
"How? I may remember the time I forgot, but I don't remember being close to you."
"Maybe you will, maybe you won't. Either way we owe it to ourselves to try." Yuki nodded slowly. " Why aren't you at school?"
"I had to get away from Hatori"
"Ha'ri was there?"
"I passed out"
"Ahh…I see."
"Uhh…. Ayame-nii, I remembered something else, too." Aya raised his eyebrows. "D…Does Akito have another form?"
"Do you think Yuki-Kun is ok?" Tohru asked Momiji and Haru later.
"I'm sure he's fine!" Momiji said, trying to sound more confident than hopeful.
"He was screaming about remembering something right? Or forgetting something…?" asked Haru.
"Yes, he did make quite a scene." Momiji remembered. Tohru stared out the window.
"I wonder where he is, though."
"I'm fine." Tohru whipped around and saw Yuki standing there, looking upset.
"Why where you yelling at Ha'ri?" Momiji questioned.
Yuki got very tense and stiffened.
"Because I hate him. (They were at home)
"Yuki, you really shouldn't hate people." Haru remarked.
"I don't care! I HATE HIM! It's all his fault!" Yuki growled.
"What's all his fault? What did he do?"
"I don't want to talk about it," Yuki growled.
"It might make you feel better…"
"NO!" Yuki stormed up the stairs. "Where's Shigure?"
"He's visiting Hatori-San."
"Wonderful." The door slammed shut, causing the whole house to shake.
"Shigure, he remembers everything" Hatori said softly.
"You really did that to them?" Shigure asked utterly shocked. He felt sorry for Yuki and Ayame. Hatori bowed his head.
"I was young." He replied in the same serious manner.
"What would Akito have done to you? You were a lot older than he was
"I was afraid."
"Afraid of what?"
"There are things about Akito that even you don't know Shigure. Things you couldn't even imagine." Hatori sighed sadly. "Yuki hates me…"
"I'm sure he doesn't hate you.."
"He shouted at me. He said I hate you, don't look at me, don't speak to me! I've lost all of his trust."
"He has a right to be upset, but don't worry about it. He'll get over it."
"But what if he doesn't? you should have seen his eyes."
"He'll understand Haa-san. Just give it time." Shigure said.
"You said he passed out twice. What else did he remember?"
"I'm not sure… he didn't yell at me for that."
Tohru knocked on Yuki's door. "Come in." Tohru stepped in and shut the door behind her.
"Dinners ready," she whispered. Yuki didn't seem to be in any of a better mood.
"Not hungry." He responded immediately. Tohru sat on the bed next to him.
"Yuki-kun, please tell me what happened. I'm worried about you."
"Don't be."
"Please tell me."
"Hatori erased my memories."
"What?" Tohru cried out in surprise.
"When I was little. He made me forget something. I remember now, but it's too late. I can't get that time back. It's just not fair."
"What did he make you forget?" Yuki sighed.
"It's nothing important." Tohru knew he was lying, but allowed Yuki to keep his secret for now. Hopefully, he would open up to her later…
"Come have dinner with us." She coaxed.
"Ok." Yuki agreed, and followed her downstairs.
"Haru!" Momiji burst into his room in his usual giddy appeal. "You never said if I could borrow your camera or not. Can I?" He was bouncing up and down in excitement.
"What did you need it for?" Haru asked, pausing his video game.
"Today is Friday! And Friday is Momo's recital!"
"Oh yeah, I forgot," replied Haru." Here you go. Be careful."
"Don't worry! I'll take excellent care of it!" he called over his shoulder as he skipped to Shigure's house.
"Momiji-Chan! What are you doing here?"
"Today is Momo's dance recital! Is Shigure here?"
"No, I'm sorry. He's visiting Ayame-San with Yuki-Kun today." Momiji looked hurt.
"He was supposed to take me to Momo's dance recital!" Momiji ran out of the house, he would just go on his own. No one else was stopping him. And he did just that.
Immediately after Momiji left, Tohru called Shigure at Aya's house (phone book). "Shigure, Momiji was just here."
"Really? Why?"
"He said you were supposed to take him to Momo's recital." Shigure was quiet on the other end.
"Oh my gosh.. I completely forgot! Is he still their?"
"No. He ran off as soon as I told him where you were."
"Oh dear…. I've got to go. If he comes back, please tell him to wait for me."
"Ok." They both hung up.
Momiji applauded loudly at the end of Momo's dance, also the end of the recital. Realizing he was cutting it close, he dashed out the door. Standing at the other side of the building, he exhaled a deep breath. "HA! I knew I could do it! Nothing happened! Momo's pictures are going to be great though! Good thing Haru let me borrow his….. THE CAMERA!" He had forgotten it. He waited for everyone else to leave the building than ran back inside. The camera had fallen beneath his seat. "I got it!" he said in triumph to himself as he picked it up. When he stood up, he found himself face to face with his mother; she had forgotten her purse. She looked at him funny; her face was all twisted up. Momiji stared transfixed at her. Her eyes were wide and fearful. She ran out of the building as if she was running for her life.
Late that night, Shigure phoned Hatori.(His sleep pattern is whacked) "Hello?" a groggy voice answered.
"I finally
understand how you feel."
"Shigure? Is that you…?"
"Momiji hates me. I forgot to take him to Momo's dance recital. He was so excited about it.. Though I think he went anyway."
"Well at least you didn't erase his memories of a family member."
"Something tells me that he had something else on his mind, I wonder if something happened?" He took a deep breath. "Do you think I can come over? I need to talk to you."
"Now? It's two
in the morning?"
"Please Haa-san?"
"Sure, I'm up." Shigure grabbed his coat, wrote a quick note to the kids and left. He was so upset he forgot to get dressed.
