Other Stuff Thoughts will be in italics and A/N is in (parentheses) and bold. Plus, it'll be great if you can tell me if I misspelled something. Especially names. Kay? Thanks much! Oh, BTW, before I forget, this is on the manga side, not the anime side. (So, there will be the suffixes stuff. p)

Disclaimer: I own Megu, Kosuke, and his wife, they're my characters. I don't own Furuba, though. Wish I did. But it won't turn out as good as Takaya-sensei did it. p

"…I kinda have to warn you that working with me might be a little tough…" Shigure said.

"Because of Akito Sohma-san not wanting some non-Sohma person here?" Megumi asked.

"Actually, because I'm a complicated person…" Shigure said. Then, he finally realized what she said. "Hey, I never told you about Akito!…"

"?" Yuki was confused now.

"Oh, well, yeah, I know..." Megumi said. Let's do it now…She thought, and then said, "You know now that I know so much, so I might as well tell you, I know about the curse."

Chapter 2--- Suppress Megumi's Memory?

The room was silent as she said that.

"…What?..." Yuki said; he was in disbelief.

"You got to be joking!" Kyo exclaimed.

"Oh, you're here." Shigure said. He looked nervous.

"You know about the stupid curse!" Kyo exclaimed.

"Yeah." Megumi said. She shrugged. "My uncle told me."

"Your uncle knows!" Kyo asked.

"Yeah." She repeated. "My uncle is Kosuke Kawashima. You used to go to high school with him, Shigure-san."

"That's right. I remember that." Shigure said. "Wait… He knew about the curse?..."

"Yeah. He and my aunt went to your house for a visit, and my aunt accidentally hugged you." She said.

"Oh, that's right. I was in a tight situation, and I thought I could just ask Hatori to suppress their memory later, so I told them about the curse. Sounds cruel now, but it didn't before…" Shigure said. "Then, his phone rang… An important event came up, so they instantly had to leave for Kyoto. After that call, they left the house to pack. That's the last I saw from them. So, I guess it slipped my mind that he knew about it."

"Idiot." Kyo mumbled. "Why did you let the secret of the curse roam around!"

"I didn't see him after that." He shrugged nervously.

"Oh, don't worry, my uncle never told anyone else but me. He's good at keeping secrets." Megumi said. "Besides, he realized that if you kept it a secret, it must have been important to not let anyone know. He really liked you, Shigure-san."

"Heh." Shigure said.

"Now what?" Kyo asked. "We can't let that damn Akito know that someone else knows about the curse."

"Let's just not tell Akito that she knows about it." Shigure said. "I do need her for my stories…"

"Are you crazy!" Kyo exclaimed. "Let Hatori suppress her memory! That Akito might plan something!"

"You do have a point there. For the first time in history, too." Shigure said.

"Watch it, you stupid dog!" Kyo exclaimed. He let it go. "My point is that we're doomed if she finds out!"

"Yuki?... You seem quiet. What do you think we should do?" Shigure said.

"Me?... I don't know. The stupid cat is right, though. If Akito knows about this, she'll plan something big."

"But I desperately need her…" He said. He had an emphasis on the word.

"It's just stupid stories! This is more important!" Kyo exclaimed. Either he let it go, or he didn't hear Yuki call him stupid.

"I think we should think about it later, Megumi-san, but for now, I need your help on my story!" Shigure said.

"Okay." She said and nodded. He walked to his work room. Megumi followed.

"What are we going to do now!" Kyo exclaimed.

"Does it look like I know?" Yuki asked. "If I did, I would have said something before."

"…" They were both silent in thought.

Few hours later, Tohru came home. Megumi was still there.

"Hello, Yuki-kun. Is everyone here?" Tohru asked as she entered the dining room.

"Yeah, and Kawashima-san is here, too…" Yuki said and took a bite of Tohru's beef stew.

"Oh, Megu-san is here! What is she doing here?" Tohru asked with great excitement.

"She's working for Shigure on his novel." He replied, and took another bite.

"I shall go and see her!" Tohru said.

"Wait, I don't think you should." Yuki said. Who knows what Kawashima-san will think if she finds out Tohru knows about the curse. He thought.

"Oh? Well, if you say so, Yuki-kun…" Tohru said.

"Look, about suppressing my memory. I can keep secrets, and also it's not like I'm living here. I know Tohru-san is living here, and there are troubles with Akito Sohma-san." Megumi said.

"How did you know that? Does Kosuke know this, too?" Shigure asked.

"Kind of." Megumi said. I can't really say that my uncle is watching them. She thought.

"You're uncle is a mystery. He is one of my good friends, though. One of the only people I befriended who isn't a family member." Shigure said.
"So, are you going to let Hatori-san suppress my memory? I mean, it's not like she's going to see me. If you want, I won't visit your house for no apparent reason except work. You can tell her that I'm working for you, which is true." She said.

"Well, I don't know…" Shigure said.

"I heard from my uncle you can't resist high school girls…" She said.

"I guess…" Shigure said. He scratched his head. You told this girl a bit too much true info, Kosuke. He thought. She leaned forward that their faces were a couple of inches apart. She had a sweet smile. (A/N: Weird moment coming up. Just warning some.)

Are you going to kiss me or something?..." Shigure said; he was smiling.

"Heh, heh. Maybe… If you don't tell Akito, and don't let my memory get suppressed..." Megumi said.

"I knew you were going to say that..." Shigure said. He leaned forward even more…

It's been an hour since Tohru came back home.

They're taking too long. Are they going to stay in there forever? Shigure is probably torturing the poor girl. Yuki thought. He was watching a movie with Tohru. Kyo was eating dinner. The door opened. Shigure and Megumi came out. Yuki shot up from the seat.

"Kawashima-san, did Shigure do anything to you!" He asked.

"Nothing, however, I did something to him. Nothing that he didn't want… Heh…" She said. Her voice sounded rather mischievous.

What?... What did she mean by that? He thought.

"Hello, Tohru-san." Megumi said. She bowed. Tohru bowed as well.

"Hello, too, Megu-san!" Tohru said happily.

"Well, I have thought of something for our friend here, Yuki and Kyo." Shigure said. They both looked at him. "I won't let Hatori suppress her memory, and we won't tell Akito."

"What! Akito is going to kill us if she finds out about it, though!" Kyo exclaimed.

"Well, it's not like I live here." Megumi said. "Besides, Tohru-san knows about the curse. She couldn't have not known about the curse if she was living here. And she's been ok with it, kind of."

Oh, so she knows. That's okay, I guess. Yuki thought.

"What's going on?" Tohru asked.

"That's right, you weren't here. It turns out Kawashima-san knows about the curse, and we were thinking if we should tell Akito or suppress her memory." Yuki explained.

"Oh, no! We can't let Hatori-san suppress her memory!" Tohru exclaimed. She panicked.

"It's not like he is going to, anyway…" Kyo said. He looked away.

"Well, that's settled, then! Anyway, I got to go… See you tomorrow, Tohru-san, Sohma-kun, and Kyon Kyon-san." Megumi said.

"DON'T CALL ME THAT!" Kyo exclaimed angrily.

"I'm joking, Sohma-san." She said.

"Bye!" Tohru said.

"See you…" Yuki said. He seemed confused, yet happy.

"See you tomorrow night, Shigure-san." Megumi said.

"Don't be late!" Shigure said. He waved.

"Ok, bye!" She said and raised her hand, signaling goodbye. She walked out the door. Then, she turned around before she went out and laughed softly. "Don't expect that kiss again tomorrow…"

She exited the door. There was a huge moment of silence.

"WHAT!" Kyo and Yuki exclaimed in shock.

"EH!" Tohru exclaimed in unison with the guys.

"Kiss!" Yuki exclaimed. He had a very angry look. "Shigure!..."

"Didn't you hear her? She did it, not me." Shigure said, and scratched his head. He had a satisfied smile, though. "She bribed me!"

"You idiotic pervert!" Yuki exclaimed. Shigure thought he heard some sort of growl from him.

"Are you jealous or something?" He said and smiled.

"Why should I be?" He said shocked. "I barely know her!"

"Then, you wouldn't really mind me saying that she was good at it, too." He said. He seemed to be teasing him. Yuki hit his head.

"Pervert…" Yuki mumbled and walked away. "I'm heading for bed."

"Y-Yuki-kun!..." Tohru said.

"Don't worry about him, Tohru-kun. He's just a little mad because of the kiss." Shigure said, and he laughed a little. He stood back up, and rubbing the hit part of his head.

"You shouldn't be proud of that, you stupid dog!" Kyo exclaimed. He stomped away.

"Kyo-kun…" Tohru said.

"Just let him go, he's always grumpy…" Shigure said and laughed.

"Shigure-san, why did you let her do that?" Tohru asked.

"I just wanted to see how Yuki reacted to that if I told him about it. Although, she told them, but otherwise, I just couldn't resist, she's a high school girl!" Shigure exclaimed.

"Eh?..." Tohru said.

Never mind, Tohru-kun. You should rest, too. You have had a long day. You still have school tomorrow." He said.

"Okay…" She said. "Good night."

That ends the second chapter! Hoped you like that one! Please R&R, and like the first one, if you think something is weird, go ahead and tell me, but don't flame, please. See ya next time!

Preview of the next chapter

"I've had it with your mouth! Get out of this house, now! I don't need you!" She exclaimed angrily. Megumi stared at her unflinchingly. Apparently, her mom was looking for a different reaction, so she went on. "Pack your stuff and leave! I've had enough of you!"

Takeshi looked at his daughter helplessly as she went up to her room. Megumi went up, at the top, she saw Reiji, her brother. He looked at her, and she looked back, and then she shook her head and ran in her room.

(A/N: These are entries from Megumi's journal)

"My life is so complicated and sad. It seems to be lacking something as well. All my life I just wanted to be free, but instead I had been tied down by the grips of my mother. She never wanted me to do anything I wanted, it always had to be what she wanted. I guess I'm glad to be gone from there, but I worry about my dad and Reiji." Yuki thought about this. This was the first time she mentioned her brother and father in her journal…
