The Forgotten

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket

A/N: Yeah really sorry if Hatori is out of character in this chapter especially but, I'm trying to break him out of this boring shell he's crawled into, so tadah! New improved Hatori! Not that there was anything wrong with him before…but yeah just a heads up

-The Water Sprite

Chapter 9: Office Escapade

From his desk, Hatori saw Olivia slip into his office from the living room, her small black dress swaying.

"Hey," he greeted her, looking back at his work.

"Hi," she smiled sweetly, her light yellow eyes turning slightly orange before changing more purple, but the doctor couldn't tell the exact color. "What are you doing?"

"Just the usual I suppose." He answered flatly, 'Her smile makes it so hard not to smile back,' he thought.

"I see, well you should come out and say hello to Shigure and Ayame! They miss you Ha'ri," she urged.

'Why is it when she calls me that it sends shivers up my spine?' Hatori asked himself before replying, "I'd rather say in here…"

"Oh, okay…" she turned to leave when the doctor stood up.

"And see you," Hatori could feel himself blushing, but he didn't care.

"What?" Olivia turned around.

"I'd rather stay in here and see you Olivia." He looked into her eyes, which were now a light pink.

"You would?" she blushed a deep crimson.

"Yes," Hatori sighed, "Olivia you're beautiful, smart, and funny, of course I'd rather stay in here with you." 'Now I'm blushing for sure,' the doctor thought. Olivia walked across the room so her back was to the door. Hatori walked out from his desk and came forward, causing her to back up slightly.

"Hatori I," she began.

"Yes?" he put his hands on her shoulders and looked straight into her ice pink eyes, the whole while backing her towards the door unintentionally.

"I," she closed her eyes.

"Yes? Hatori could feel her leaning in, and he did the same.

"I…" she whispered. He couldn't take it anymore, gently pushing her against the wall he leaned in and kissed Olivia on the mouth. She was startled back against the wall harder before kissing back. Slowly moving his hands so they were cupping her face, the doctor lightly titled her head back for a better angle.

Feeling his hands run up her neck made Olivia shiver, causing her back to arch slightly. She had never been this close to anyone before, but it was nice feeling his chest against her and she let her hands rest lightly around his neck.

He leaned in a little farther so their hips brushed against each other, which made Olivia inhale sharply and let out a small whimper. This intrigued the doctor and he moved one hand back behind her neck to deepen the kiss. In response, the girl wrapped her arms around his neck more and leaned back so she was against the wall even harder. Their bodies were almost completely pressed against each other and Hatori was beginning to think how wonderful it felt to be close to someone physically.

Leaving one hand on her neck, the doctor let the other drop to grip her shoulder. One of the loose sleeves of Olivia's dress fell off her shoulder and he lightly ran his hand over her soft skin. He could feel her shiver and arch her back again, which caused her to lean into him more. Looking for the same response, Hatori left her mouth and began kissing her neck.

'Oh my god,' Olivia breathed as he kissed her lightly, moving farther down her neck. Without meaning to she let out a small moan and leaned her head back against the wall. Shigure must have wondered where she was because just as Olivia was about to let her hand wander, the door opened.

"Livee?" the dog piped curiously. Hatori immediately jumped back and looked up. "What in the world?" Shigure smiled as he looked in and saw Olivia against the wall, one arm around the doctor's neck, and Hatori with one hand behind her neck and one resting on her bare shoulder. "Obviously your shoulder's better, Livee." Shigure winked. Hatori backed up and straightened his tie before returning to his desk while Olivia stood up from the wall and replaced the sleeve of her dress on her shoulder.

"Right then Shigure, I'll be coming back out now, I'm sure you and Ayame need more tea." She blushed deeply before walking out and closing the door behind Shigure. Hatori sighed and settled back into his chair.

'If Shigure hadn't come in, how far would we have gone?' he wondered. The question bothered him but he put it aside and focused on the feeling of Olivia's body against his own and her lips on his. 'And come when she moaned it drove me crazy?' surely Shigure was hearing all about the escapade, or trying to, outside the walls of Hatori's office.

Olivia dear, we were wondering where you went!" Ayame exclaimed. He looked at her strong blush curiously. "Oh, well what's wrong?"

"Hmm?" the girl looked up, "Oh, nothing's wrong, why?" Shigure smiled at Aya.

"Well you're blushing fiercely for one thing Livee," he said to Olivia.

"Oh,"

"Olivia, what happened in there?" Ayame asked, catching Shigure's smile.

"Well when I walked in she and Ha'ri were really going at it!" the dog teased. Ayame gasped.

"Tori-san and Livee? No!"

"Yes Aya," Shigure nodded. Poor Olivia stood with her head down, blushing a deep red color. "So," Shigure began, "Is he a good kisser?" Olivia's head shot up revealing teal eyes. "It was getting pretty intense,"

"It was?" Ayame's eyes widened.

"Yes indeed, he had her pinned against the wall, his hand on her bare shoulder."

"Our Tori-san?" Ayame gasped. Shigure nodded. "Well," the two men looked at Olivia.

"Really," she said, shifting her eyes, "It wasn't like that,"

"Yes it was!" Ayame smiled. They were both loving this. Olivia sighed.

"What do you want?"

"Want?" the asked in unison, smiling. Shigure stood up and came forward.

"You mean to make sure it doesn't get around?" the girl nodded. "Just answer our questions." Again she nodded.

"Good," Ayame folded his arms in his lap.

"So, were you and Hatori kissing in there, Olivia?" Shigure asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes," she sighed.

"Ooh did you kiss him or did he kiss you?" Ayame leaned forward.

"He kissed me…" she lowered her head. Shigure and Ayame exchanged knowing glances.

"But tell me," Shigure cooed, "Why were you pressed against the wall? And why was your left shoulder lacking clothing?" the dog cocked an eyebrow.

"Yes Livee, do tell." The snake urged.

"I-I-I'm going for a walk," she stuttered. Seeing they had gotten all they were going to get, Ayame ended the interrogation.

"I believe I should get going as well, Shigure would you like a ride?"

"Sure Aya!" Shigure piped. Olivia began walking back towards Hatori's office. "Oh Olivia, I thought you were going for your walk?"

"I'm saying goodbye to Hatori,"

"Yes, I'm sure you are…" Shigure teased.

"You two are so full of it!" she exclaimed crossly.

"I think we made her mad Aya,"

"Oh dear,"

"So sorry to have interrupted your make out session!" the dog called as the girl closed the door.

"Well, once again I find myself closed in your office Hatori." Olivia said softly. 'This is awkward,' she thought.

"Come back for more?" the doctor inquired from his desk. Olivia blushed and looked up, he was blushing as well.

"No, I came to tell you I'd like to go for a walk, if you don't mind." Hatori looked up.

"Oh, are you alright?"

"Yes, it's just Shigure and Ayame, they're being lunatics…" she complied.

"Ah, I see," he said, standing up and coming toward her. Stopping in front of her, the doctor gently ran his hand across her cheek. "I'd really like it if you stayed,"

"They'd have a fit," she scoffed, pointing at the door. He nodded.

"But they'll be gone later," he whispered quietly. She blushed and looked away. This wasn't really the reaction Hatori was looking for, though he wasn't quite sure what kind of reaction he was looking for. But when he looked down at her he saw a small smile on her face. Then abruptly she pulled away form his touch. He sighed. "Don't get lost and be careful not to run into Akito."

"Thank you, I won't be long." She assured him before leaving the doctor with his thoughts.

It was cold as Olivia closed Hatori's door. She welcomed the cool air gladly, happy to be out of confinement.

"Oh dear, oh dear, oh my, what have I done!" a frantic voice broke the silence. The wolf's eyes widened in surprise as she glanced around for the person the voice belonged to. "Oh no," suddenly a young woman in a purple kimono stumbled out off the path looking quite confused. Her long light brown hair was pulled out of her face with a long blue ribbon.

"Umm, are you alright?" Olivia asked quietly, stepping forward.

"Oh no! No I'm sorry to bother you! See how horrible I am? Making innocent people stop only to waste their time and breath talking to me! Ahh but listen to me! Wasting valuable oxygen speaking this very moment! AHHH! I'M SORRY!" the young woman began wailing, collapsed on the ground. Her long brown hair was falling out of its ribbon and she had gotten leaves scattered on her kimono.

"Umm, miss, please, what's wrong?" the wolf asked panic rising in her chest. 'What's wrong with this woman?' she thought anxiously. "Oh dear," she muttered seeing the girl was still crying hysterically. Then more to herself she added "Maybe I should get Hatori," the woman's head shot up.

"You know Hatori-san!" she blurted.

'Apparently she heard me,' Olivia thought. "Yes I'm Olivia Sohma." She attempted a smile and offered her hand to the young woman.

"Sohma! Oh no, I've caused all this pain and suffering, not on an innocent civilian, but on a member of my own family!" She screeched before crying again.

"No, please, you did-" Olivia paused. 'So this woman is a Sohma too? But if there are as many Sohma's as Hatori said then technically I'm not "her" family…I wonder,' "Wait your family? You mean you're a Sohma?" The wolf asked with fake surprise, trying to figure it out.

"Y-yes, I'm Ritsu Sohma, I actually came here to talk with Hatori-san," the woman stammered seemingly calmer then she was a minute ago.

'Ritsu Sohma, I knew it! She's a member of the inside circle, I remember at Shigure's Hatori said that only Akito, Kureno, Ritsu and himself knew about me. So Ritsu obviously recognized my name…but I thought Hatori had referred to Ritsu as a he? Oh well maybe I was mistaken.' She shrugged inwardly. "Oh well here, we can go in together then, I've had enough fresh air," the wolf shook her head.

"Umm, o-okay." Ritsu nodded, wringing her hands. The two Sohma's walked back and entered Hatori's house.

"He's in his office, Ritsu." Olivia told the girl, hanging up her coat. Ritsu nodded and walked towards the hallway.

"Umm Hatori-san?"

"Yes Ritsu?" the doctor looked up from his work.

"I just came because Ayame-san said that Olivia was here and well I wanted to see if she was really back." Ritsu said quickly.

"Well have you confirmed that?" Ritsu looked startled, Hatori had never snapped at him before, (A/N: I'm switching to 'him' now cause it's Ha'ri's POV sorta so yeah…) it made the monkey wonder if something was wrong. Hatori must have noticed the wide eyed stare directed at him because he quickly apologized. "Sorry Ritsu, yes she's back."

"Oh, um when?" Ritsu asked. Hatori sighed, he really didn't want to talk or think about Olivia right now. She just made him feel confused, the past few days he'd done his best to ignore her especially now with the incident from earlier.

"I'm not sure, maybe about two weeks ago at most," the doctor blinked in surprise at his own words. 'Two weeks already?' he thought. The time seemed to stop from when she got there, like no time had passed at all yet the few days she was ill seemed so long ago. It was an eerie feeling of dark surprise like when you forgot to remember something important until the time came when you were then forced to remember it again and remember you'd forgotten.

"O-okay…is she staying, Hatori-san?" the monkey began wringing his hands again as he did so often.

"I don't thin k so, once we figure out how to get her home I'm sure she wouldn't want to stay," he said, a trace of remorse in his voice. 'Maybe if I'd not have been so quick to adhere to my feelings, maybe then she'd…' the doctor pondered. 'Maybe then she'd what? What makes you think she'd stay regardless?' the sensible part of him shot back. 'You're right, I'm not even sure how I feel, let alone how she feels…' the sensitive-Hatori sighed. That side of him hadn't showed itself in a long time, not since…her…Kana. "And it would probably be best if it didn't come out now," he muttered aloud.

"W-what?" Ritsu stammered, confused. Hatori shook his head.

"Nothing… do you need anything else, Ritsu?"

"N-no, um, thank you Hatori-san," he bowed his head slightly before quietly leaving the office. In the living room Ritsu once again came upon Olivia. For some reason he thought maybe he should tell her he wasn't a girl as she'd probably suspected that he was. Thankfully the feeling passed and he was able to mumble a quick good-bye before leaving.

Soon after Ritsu left, one of the nurses came to inform Hatori or "Dr. Sohma" as she'd referred to him, that Akito was sick again. Olivia assured the woman that the message would be promptly delivered. 'Great,' the wolf thought, 'Now I have to talk to him again…how come just when I'm succeeding at convincing myself I don't have feelings for him, he goes and does something like that?' she pondered in exasperation, thinking back to earlier. She knocked lightly before opening the door. "Hatori, Akito's ill." She informed him.

"Oh, alright, thank you," came the reply. She could hear him get up and come towards the door so she stepped to the side. The door opened and he left, neither of them making eye contact.

What is that you express in your eyes? It seems to me more than all the words in the world.
