CHAPTER 6

Kyo's eyes opened wide and began to fill with tears, he stood quickly, knocking his knees on his desk, and ran out of the room so no one would see the tears that slipped down his cheek.

"Oh dear! I must have really offended him!" Tohru panicked.

"oh no Honda-san… he just well… his name is Kyo. Sorry for disturbing you…." Yuki sat down and turned away as he too held back tears. For they both knew what had happened. Akito had erased her memory. They had been tricked! Akito had planned it that way!

The bell rang and students got up quickly, determinded to leave. Tohru walked down the hall alone because Uo-san and Hana-san had classroom duty. She walked looking down at the floor, very tired, when A creature that was unmistakedly a kid ran in front of her. "Tohru! Tohru! Do you know me?" he asked. The little boy was wearing a girls uniform, but hse thought it looked very cute on him.

"Oh I'm sorry! I don't! But would you like to tell me so we can be friends?" but before the boy could reply andother, whom looked older, came around the corner. She starred in wonder at his black and white hair.

"Sorry. Momoji gets… out of hand sometimes…." He trailed off, looking at her with a definat sadness in his eyes.

"Oh no! it's Okay! But maybe I will see you tomorrow cuz I have to go work! Nice meeting you!" and she ran off donw the hall.

"She really dons't remember…" momoji mumbled and Haru put his arm around him and the walked away.

Kyo lay on the roof looking up at the sky, While Yuki sat out by his secret base, both knowing they could never share this with Tohru again. And to make matters worse, it was nearing the end of the year, their last year of High school. Although he had dug it a deep hole to be forgotten in, Kyo could always see the pile of dirt, always reminding him, so perhaps it wasn't as bad if she didn't remember. Then she wouldn't have to deal with it.

"Grandpa! I'm Hoooooome!" called Tohru. There was no response so she thought he must have gone out. She set about doing some chores before work. Pulling on her uniform she thought about Sohma-Kun and his Cousin, Kyo. Why had they acted out like that, why was Kyo familiar. A sharp twang of pain hit her brain and she through her hands onto her skull, wincing. "What was that?" she asked the empty house. Shortly after she set off for work. She pushed through the door and headed to get her cleaning supplies, when a young boy, probably in grade eleven sprang around the corner and stopped dead, starring at her. His blonde hair gave her the imprerssion he wasn't only Japanese.

"Sorry, did I startle you?" he asked.

"Oh no! Of course not! By the way, I am Tohru Honda," she bowed.

"Oh.. yeah… I'm Momoji Sohma," he bowed as well.

"Are you related to Yuki-Kun?"

"Ya, I am. Yuki is my cousin." He looked at the floor, "I'd better go, see ya…"

"Bye!" she waved after him, people sure were acting strange today.

Watching him leave, she had another sharp twinge of pain, worse than before. "oooh. Maybe I should take it easy…" She walke dout of the building after have ing done her work for the night, and to her surprise there was Yuki Sohma and His cousin, Kyo, standing outside. Like they'd been waiting.

"Oh good even Sohma-Kun!" she bowed, "and you too Kyo-Kun" she bowed again.

"Would you mind if we walked you home, it isn't safe at night…." Asked Yuki.

"Oh sure! That'd be lovely!" They began walking one on either side of her, when a huge pain hit her and she blacked out.
