"How is she, how's Kana?" Maho said quietly, so quietly that Hatori couldn't hear her clearly.
Kneeling down to her bed he asked her to repeat herself.
"I um I just asked how is Kana. That was her name right Kana, that's the name that replayed in my head at least
Kana was old enough to have your love but not me. Not little Maho-Chan."
A tormented tear fell down her cheek and stained her pillow.
She heard Hatori make a deep sigh. "I'm sorry Hatori."
She sat up to face him "I'm really sorry Hatori forget what I said, I hope you guys are doing …."
She stopped talking and immediately grabbed his face.
He gasped due to the shock of her cold handstouching his skin.
"Hatori what happened to you?" Moving the hair away from his eye to get a better look at his now blinded left eye.
Hatori immediately moved her hand away ashamed at his face, ashamed that she had to see him like this.
"Maho don't worry yourself with my eye. It's fine now As for Kana she's fine, she's married."
Maho felt a stab to her heart and started to fight back the tears that pushed at her eyes.
Hatori and Kana where married now, happily together she thought.
"You don't want me to worry about your eye because that's Kana's job now, right?" Maho said silently.
"No, Maho you need to understand that Kana is married but I am not her husband.
She blamed herself for what happened to my eye. She became sick due to this, it was not her fault at all.
I loved Kana so I erased her memories of me and her."
Not wanting to see her smiling at the fact that there was no longer a chance for Hatori and Kana, Hatori looked away from Maho.
Bitterly he thought how couldn't she smile, to her the obstacle was gone now.
Maho wasn't to young now he had realized that the moment he saw her tonight.
Maho just stared down at her lap with a blank expression on her face.
"Maho what's wrong, do you not feel good?"
Maho got out of the bed and ran to the door before Hatori could catch her.
She opened up the door and ran down the hall to the front door and outside.
The cold rain met her skin quickly. The rain was coming down in sheets and the cold wind felt like knifes piercing into her skin.
The wet fabric clung to her body almost as closely as the tears clung to her cheeks.
She didn't get far before she felt something wrap around her waist.
It was Hatori's arms and he brought her close to his chest.
He stood there frozen for a second, feeling the shocked Maho breath in and out .
Her body was grown up he could tell now most of all.
Her slender frame fitsperfectly in line with my own he thought.
Maho thought to herself how good it felt to be in his arms.
The heat his skin emitted even in the cold rain was refreshing.
But she was stubborn as hell and not about to forgive and forget now.
Then again what was there to forgive. She thought gloomily it was her fault not his that her heart yearned to be with him.
She still couldn't believe that after all these years he still made her heart go crazy.
It throbbed faster and faster as he touched her.
Before she became lost in his arms that she knew weren't hers she pushed him off of her.
She started to run more and more into the cold night but he was faster and caught her quickly.
He decided not to get caught up in thought this time and quickly lifted her off her feet and carried her soaking wet back into the house.
He took her back to her room in the patients quarters. "Maho what are you trying to do kill yourself?? Why did you run away like that from me?"
Maho was silent as she stared at Hatori not in the eyes but she stared at him lifeless almost.
Then she fell back to sleep due to exhaustion.
This made Hatori become worried about her even more.
He knew if he didn't get her out of her wet clothes quickly that she'd catch ammonia.
The problem was it was after 3 in the morning and all the servants around him had gone to sleep not to mention everyone else in the mansion.
He'd have to undress her himself, he gulped at the thought.
Then he tried to tell himself what was the big deal it's just the human body.
I've seen plenty of naked people in this line of work not to mention Kana.
He had even undressed and helped Maho take a bath when she was really sick since he was the only one she'd allow to help her.
But now she was grown up and everything has changed since then.
"God what am I thinking I've become a perverted old man like Shigure and Aya."
He started to undress her from her pajamas.
First he took off her top being as quick as possible. He took off each piece of clothing leaving her naked, then he put her back in the bed.
Closing the door behind him as he went to start up the bath to help her not catch a cold.
Minutes later he puts his hands in the hot water making sure it's hot enough and got some of his own pajamas.
Maho didn't have any other pajamas for her to wear so he had no choice.
Maho awoke soon after, not realizing being naked.
She laid in bed for awhile remembering Hatori's tight embrace and how she must of passed out.
Just then Hatori knocked on the door and since she didn't respond he walked in her room.
She got up without the blanket and stood naked in front of Hatori.
He caught himself staring at her for only a second and then quickly turned around.
"Maho I had to get you out of your wet clothes, and you need to take a bath now."
His words mixed with his actions confused her until she quickly looked down and felt the red sting her cheeks as she blushed brightly.
"Baka Hentai get out!!!" She screamed feeling embarrassment and anger rise with in her.
Hatori did just that, he left and stopped short outside the door.
"Maho please try to understand I did what I had to do. I hope you remember that I am a doctor."
She felt even worse for saying that now… because now he must still looked at her as a child for being so childish.
She wrapped the sheet around her as she walked out of the room.
"I'm sorry Hatori, you just scared me that's all. I didn't mean to call you a Baka Hentai."
She said softly not looking at him as she walked towards the bathroom.
Maho's memory proved to be well as she knew where the bathroom was perfectly.
Every detail of this house was locked in her mind, it's were she grew up after all.
It brought back so many memories, some filled with happiness some filled with pain.
She walked into the bathroom and looked at the giant tub that had steam rising up from it.
Hatori was standing outside the closed bathroom door and asked "Maho are you ok do you need anything? I left the only pair of pajamas I could find witch are my own…."
She picked up the pajamas and hugged them closely to her heart.
"I started to cry because I couldn't bare to hear that sound of pain in your voice.
It's my fault that your eye got messed up isn't it?? It's all my fault!
I'm sorry Hatori I…I didn't mean for you to get hurt. I ran away because I was weak.
I couldn't stand to see you love her when I wanted you so badly.
And I wasn't going to try and stop you from loving her either.
I wanted you to be happy, and I knew you could only do that without me.
Akito did that to your eye didn't he?? It's all my fault.
Hatori I bet you've been up all night, go to sleep don't worry ill be fine.
I can find my way back to the bed. It's ok go to sleep."
Maho said emotionless as her heart broke more and more with each word.
Hatori then slid to the floor due to the pain of her words.
He sat there quietly thinking of Maho's painful words.
She only wants me to be happy, even if it was with another woman.
Even if she knew that I would never love her in the way that she loved me, she still wanted me to be happy.
And now just like Kana, she was blaming herself…that's what hurt the most.
But no it was my own fault for being so blunt with Akito.
With Maho all of my memories came rushing back to me when I saw her under those covers.
It felt so good to hold her like that even if it was in the cold rain
With Kana I always had to position myself just right to make sure I didn't turn into an animal.
Even with my attempts to not turn into a sea horse I still sometimes ended up turning into one non the less.
With Maho I could hold her all I wanted and I wouldn't turn into an animal and neither would she.
But I wont allow myself to be with her if I'm only into it for that benefit.
Hatori had been so lost in thought that he didn't hear the worried Maho say his name several times.
She shook him as he was slumped up against the side of the bathroom door.
He stud up when he snapped back to reality and gave her a half smile to reassure her he was ok.
"Come on Maho it's late you need your rest.
She stood up standing in Hatori's pajamas, they were really loose on her and she had to hold the pants up.
It reminded him of when she was younger and would dress in Hatori's shirts and pants when she knew they were way to big for her.
She followed Hatori into her room silently. She climbed back into bed without saying another word, she was too tired.
She quickly fell asleep.
Hatori went back to his room and tossed and turned during his restless sleep.
