Rated: PG-13 for Kyo-kun's language.

Disclaimer: I do not in any way, shape or form own Fruits Basket!!

Summary: Hatori and Shigure think they have found out how to break the curse. When Akito finds out, he orders Tohru's memories to be "erased". A year later, Tohru starts to regain her memory, and possibly forgotten feelings as well? But will she be able to regain her memory in time to finally free the Sohmas? R and R.

Chapter 4: Once upon a time…

Tohru placed the receiver down on its hilt and turned to the three boys in the living room. "Grandpa said he will bring my stuff tomorrow. Are you sure this is ok? I really don't want to be intruding into your house if I'm just going to be causing trouble."

"It's fine Tohru," Shigure gave her a smile. "Why don't you go upstairs and take a bath. I'm sure you could use one after the long day you've had."

Yuki watched Tohru walk up the steps. Something…doesn't feel right…Concern flashed across his eyes for a brief second before he dismissed the idea as just being him over worrying. It's been a year since she has lived us. It might take a while to get used to her being around again.

Unfortunately, Shigure caught his troubled look all too easily. "What is this? Why do you have a look of regret on you face? Aren't you happy that our little flower has returned to us?"

Yuki gave no more than a side-glance of recognition to his cousin. "What are you talking about? Of course I'm happy Honda-san is back. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Ah, you don't give me much credit. There is something else on your mind. Yuki, just because you may seem like an emotionless beauty to the common person, you must remember that I know you far too well," Shigure said and folded his hands in front of him, showing only his eyes over the top. "Tell me what it is that you seem to be thinking."

Yuki turned and opened his mouth to say something, only to think better of it and closed it. Shaking his head, he looked down at the tabletop. "It's nothing."

Shigure looked at the younger Sohma, as if staring him down would bring out the answer. Finally he put two and two together. "You've…lost your feelings for her, haven't you?"

Yuki's eyes widened slightly. Luckily for him, his bangs covered the reaction. "N-no! I mean…I never had any other feelings of more than a close friend before. Don't be talking about things that you have no knowledge about." He quickly stood up and retreated to his room, leaving a slightly surprised Shigure in the living room.

"…So it seems Kyo has finally beat Yuki at something."

Next Morning

Tohru sweat dropped as she looked at the mounds of trash piled around the kitchen. Well, its not going to clean itself, she thought and rolled up her sleeves. Grabbing the nearest trash bag, Tohru began her full day's work ahead of her. Luckily, it was a Sunday and they didn't have any school.

It was noon by the time Tohru had finished her cleaning job and now she was preparing lunch. Yuki walked into the kitchen, driven by hunger and the delicious smell that flowed from the kitchen. He paused for a second, trying to remember what was different about the suddenly discovered room. "Wow…just like before."

"What? Did you say something?" Tohru asked, turning her head to look at Yuki.

"Uh…no, nothing. You did a great job Honda-san," Yuki said quickly, trying to cover up his folly. He smiled as Tohru laughed and blushed slightly, mumbling something about it was nothing. He walked over to her and looked at what she was cooking. "Smells great. Do you need any help?"

"Um, if it isn't too much trouble, could you set the table?" Tohru asked as she turned her attention back to cooking the lunch.

"No, not at all," Yuki said as he grabbed a few plates from the cupboard. Just as he left the kitchen, a rather upset Kyo walked in.

"Oh, uh…Kyo-kun, watch out, I just mopped the floor over there…" Tohru warned as she walked towards the refrigerator.

Kyo looked up from his slightly. "Wha…AAH!" He slipped on the wet area and went flying straight towards Tohru. He ran straight into her legs, causing her to fall onto him. Poof! Orange smoked surrounded them.

"Honda-san! Are you all…" Yuki ran back into the kitchen and saw Tohru lying on top of an orange tail.

"Oh my gosh! Kyo-kun! Are you all right?" Tohru sat up hurriedly and picked up the orange cat, checking him over to make sure he wasn't hurt. She noticed his eyes swirled slightly but other than that he seemed to be ok. "I'm so sorry! I should have told you earlier that that part of the kitchen was still wet!"

Kyo, in his cat form, shook his head to clear his vision. He opened his mouth to say something but quickly shut it, seeing how upset she already was. Sighing, Kyo turned his head to the side. "It's…it's ok. Do you mind putting me down?"

"Oh….y-yes!" Tohru gently placed him on the ground. "Um…lunch is almost ready…" She sighed, realizing she was talking to his back as he left the kitchen.

Yuki stared at the orange cat as he left the kitchen. Even when you think pushing them away is easier, you still hurt them. Over the last year, they had had a brief period of trying to be friendly to one other, thinking that might be a way to get free of the curse. However, they had just ended up right back where they had started. Yuki, however, had learned a little of why Kyo was so cold towards others, especially the ones he loved.

"Honda-san. Don't worry about Kyo. He's just having another one of those days, that's all," Yuki said with a small smile. Suddenly, two figures ran into the kitchen, a boy with blonde hair and a girl with orange hair.

"Tohru-kun! Wie geht es dir? Ich nicht sehen du in einer Jahr!" The energetic boy said, jumping up and down.

"Eh…?"

"Nii-san! Are you better now?" The little girl asked, hope in her large eyes.

"Uh…" Tohru looked from the blonde boy to the girl then back to the boy. She recognized the boy from walking around the halls, but the girl was different. This must be another person I don't remember. She thought sadly.

"Kisa, Momiji, what did I say about running in here and scaring Tohru-kun?" a tall man walked in through the door, part of his hair covering his left eye.

Immediately, memories began to over came Tohru, causing her to grip the edge of the counter to steady herself. "Hatori-san…Momiji-kun…Kisa-chan."

Hatori looked in her direction, a look of amazement and relief swept over his features. "So, you are starting to remember."

Tears gathered in the corner of Momiji and Kisa's eyes. Kisa, however, turned her back to Tohru and buried her head into her stuffed animal. Immediately, Tohru's motherly instinct kicked in, and she bent down to Kisa's height. She had gotten slightly taller since the last time she remembered her.

"What's wrong…?" Tohru asked as she placed a gentle hand on her back. Kisa turned around and threw her arms around Tohru's neck, tears streaming down her face.

"I've missed you so much! Nii-san…I want to help you remember! Just like you helped me!" Kisa cried into Tohru's neck. Tohru gently rocked the small girl back and forth, thinking of some comforting words to say.

"It's ok…" was all Tohru could think of at the moment. "Why don't you go sit down and lunch will be ready in a minute." Tohru pulled away, and smiled brightly at the young girl. Kisa nodded and walked into the dinning room with Momiji. Tohru turned to look up at Yuki. "Um…Sohma-kun, would you mind setting out some more plates?"

Yuki smiled, "No, not at all."

By the time Kyo had transformed back into his human state, lunch was being served. Everyone said grace and began to dig into the delicious food Tohru had made, making small talk with the person beside them.

That night/ Tohru's Room

Tohru pulled the blanket covering Kisa up around her shoulders. She watched quietly as the girl breathed in and out, a smile crept onto her face. I wonder if this is how mom felt… Tohru bent over and gently kissed Kisa's forehead before exiting the room. She stood there for a moment, so deep in thought she didn't hear the person behind her.

"Hey…"

Tohru spun around with a small yelp. "Oh…Kyo-kun…you startled me." She breathed a sigh of relief

They stood in the hallway for a few minutes, not knowing exactly what to do.

"Well…I'm going to bed." Kyo finally said as he brushed past her.

"Oh, uh, G' night Kyo-kun," Tohru smiled slightly as she watched him continue down the hallway. She sighed inwardly when the only response she got out of him was lifting of the back of his hand. Turning, she descended down the stairs to the company below.
