Chapter 2: A 'Settled In' Visit
2 months after…
It was a beautiful day. All the sakura trees were in full bloom and everything was growing to their utmost abilities. Yes, it was a beautiful day. A man in a kimono walked along a street that he knew so well, enjoying the scenery around him. Shigure whistled a song, proving that he was in a good mood, while heading toward the main Sohma house. As he neared the house he sighed, remembering all the good and bad memories that took place in his old home. When he reached the outer gate he sucked in his breath, wished himself good luck and entered the gates of the main Sohma house. He made his way to Hatori's office, knowing that Hatori was in there. He knocked on the door. Not receiving any answer he walked inside. There he found Hatori hard at work on some paperwork.
"Yes?", Hatori asked, annoyance obviously written on his voice for being disturbed.
"You aren't even going to look up? I'm your old friend. Oh, you wound me to the quick, my old friend", said Shigure in an overly dramatic voice.
Hatori put down his pencil, looked up, and said with forced patience, "Hello, Shigure. What do you want?"
Happy to know that he had Hatori's attention even though it was obvious that it wanted to be on the paperwork in front of him said, "Just came to tell you that we're all settled in at our new home"
"How's Yuki?", asked Hatori.
"Medically, he's fine. In general, he's the same as always."
"Really? I thought maybe that he would change that he was in that house.", said Hatori, surprised.
"Nope. I thought so too, but I guess not."
"Then why did you both move there then?"
"Why, Hatori. I'm so glad that you care about me."
"I was talking more about Yuki than you."
Not surprised at Hatori's coldness, Shigure said, "I think he just wants to be close to something that had good memories of the two of them than stay here where there are a few bad memories."
"Yes, I'm not surprised that he would want that. If I were him I would want that too. But what I am surprised is that Akito let him go."
"Well, you see Yuki now. He's so cold. He doesn't let anyone see his true emotions. He doesn't even show his true smile now."
"He acts as if she's dead", whispered Hatori.
"She might as well be", said Shigure.
"How could you say that! You loved her as much as we all did. She saved us all from turning into ice.", replied Hatori in an angry voice.
Shigure then looked up to Hatori's bookcase. He gave a wistful smile and stood up to walk to the bookcase. He picked up a picture frame that was beside the picture of Kana and said, "I can't believe you still have this picture"
Hatori smiled, thinking back to when he took that picture.
Flashback
Hatori stood up and stretched. He was working for most of the morning and he was tired. He looked down and remembered what he was going to do next. With a mischievous smile he picked up a black item on his desk and went to find the person that he wanted. He searched the whole house when he spotted her a few feet away. He took out the black camera that he had hidden behind his back and called, "Hey"
A beautiful girl with waist- length, light, brown, hair with a perfect figure and beautiful coffee brown eyes, looked toward the sound of the voice with a huge smile.
Click…
A bright light flashed…
Then a scream….
Followed my chuckling…
"Hatori! You know that I don't like my picture taken. Give me that camera!", the girl said while trying in vain to grab the camera, but Hatori raised the camera out of reach. Laughing at the girl trying to reach the camera, Hatori dodged the hands that came close to the camera. Tired, the girl just settled on hitting Hatori light with her clenched fists and pouting cutely.
End Flashback
"She looks beautiful in this picture, but then again she looked beautiful in every picture", said Shigure.
"Yeah, she did."
"Well, wish me luck. I'm going to see Akito.", said Shigure as he headed toward the door.
"Good luck"
Shigure opened the door and was about to walk out when he stumbled on a little boy.
"Momiji?", asked a surprise Shigure, "were you eavesdropping?"
Momiji raised his head to reveal tears in his eyes.
"I want her back. I want to see her.", said Momiji in a tearful voice. Shigure patted Momiji's head and said, "We all want that, Momiji".
Shigure walked off to Akito's room.
Akito's Room
"Hello", greeted Shigure.
Akito nodded in return.
"Just came to tell you we're all settled in", announced Shigure.
"Yuki?"
"Still cold as ever"
After a moment of silence , Shigure said, "You know it's your fault he moved. If you hadn't made so many bad memories for him and her, he would still be living here."
"Shut up. Leave. You said your message", ordered Akito.
Obediently, Shigure left without a word.
After Shigure left Akito put his head down and didn't stop the tears that fell from his eyes.
"I miss her too", he whispered.
