Forgotten Flower

Author's note: I started this right after I made the first chapter since I knew it would take me so long to finish it. Enjoy!

Chapter 2- "What happened?"

A small classroom is seen. Little kids are playing together. As they all crowd around a play area, they push and shove playfully to get through. One particular kid, however, is shoved less playfully than the others until he's completely pushed into a corner. This isn't the first time this has happened. He curls himself into a ball. "I don't care," he thinks to himself. But it's not true. He can feel a lump in his throat and his eyes are stinging. Suddenly, he looks up and see's a small little girl. She looks so happy, even though she's being left out too. She takes his hand and leads him outside. They start to play together and are inseperable. But then they play hide-and-seek one day and the girl is lost and never seen again. As the boy turns older, he sits in a tree. A girl his age walks up to him. She seems so familiar, but he can't remember her. Tears form in her eyes.

"Why can't you remember me? I wanted us to be together forever. Didn't you want that too?" She won't stop crying and he can't stop her. He walks up to the girl to comfort her but as he does, she starts to get further and further away. He runs towards her.

"Don't leave me here! I need you!" But by then, she's disappeared and he's falling into darkness. A cold laugh fills the air and a bloodcurtling scream fills his ears. Everything is turning darker and darker...

"Kyo? Kyo! WAKE UP!"

Kyo woke up from his dream in a cold sweat. He found himself lying on a mat next to Shigure and Hatori. He couldn't remember a thing.

"W-what happened?"

"It's okay, Kyo. You just hit your head." Hatori reassured him. Strange. He didn't remember hitting his head. As a matter of fact, he didn't remember much from before. He looked at the mats next to him. Yuki and that girl- Tohru something-or-other-were still asleep. He could barely remember where he had gone, what he had felt and what he had done for the past few years. That girl...all he could really remember about her was that she was a really big airhead.

"Not like it's unusual for Kyo-kun to hit his head." Shigure added. Kyo was about ready to knock him out of the room, but when he got up, he had to sit back down. His head felt like a ton of bricks had fallen on it.

"You shouldn't be up yet," Hatori exclaimed. Now you tell me, Kyo thought as he rubbed his temples.

"Hey..." Kyo thought out loud, "If I got up before everyone else... DOES THAT MEAN I FINALLY BEAT THAT DAMN RAT AT SOMETHING?" Hatori rolled his eyes. Kyo was back to normal. Whether that was for better or for worse was beyond him.

A small dark room. A little boy in the corner. He can't stop shaking. Even though he's all aone, he can feel sprits all around him. He wants to get out, but he can't even stand. He thinks he's going crazy. The walls feel like they're closing in. It only takes him a few seconds to realize that they are. He stil can't move. He's paralyzed. Suddenly, he hears a voice call his name.

"Sohma-kun...Yuki-kun! Where are you?" That voice sounds so familiar. So soft and sweet. He's finally able to get up. He runs toward the voice as fast as he can. A figure comes into sight. She has her back is turned to him. Her brown chestnut hair is blowing in the wind. As she's about to turn around...

Yuki woke up to find himself in the main house.

"Oh, good. You're awake too." Yuki turned around to see Hatori and Shigure crowded around Kyo, who was also awake. Kyo gave him an enraged look. Yuki returned the favour with a cold look of disgust and turned to the girl beside him. Honda-san. She was the only one still asleep. He couldn't remember at all about why he was here. He couldn't even remember what he did just last week. He racked his brain for an answer and remembered a grocery shop, a visit from Kisa-san and a math exam. He had gotten miso, cod, rice and ramen at the store. Kisa-san came over to watch a movie. He had to studyalgebra for his exam. But after a while, he vaguely remembered Honda-san being there all those times. Always smiling at him...but suddenly, a sharp pain came to his head. He cried out in pain and grabbed his head.

"I should've warned you," Hatori said as he walked over to Yuki, "You and Kyo were fighting and, as Honda-san tried to stop you, she knocked into the bookcase which fell on top of all of you." Hatori mentally slapped himself for thinking of such a lame excuse. But Yuki and Kyo seemed to believe it. But of course, both of them didn't remember anything even remotely like that. Yuki tried to think of Honda-san again. She was a cheerful person...quite clumsy...didn't like conflict...but was that it?

"Onigiri!"

The young girl smiles cheerfully as she lifts from her seat and joins the other kids to play. But as she runs around the classroom, she notices a little boy huddled in a corner. She generously takes his hand and chooses to play with him instead. They run around together, laughing, and as time passes, they stay friends always. But one day, she gets lost. She calls out for the boy, but he doesn't come. She sits down and cries until another boy in a hat comes up to her. After they look at each other for a while, he mysteriously runs away. She follows him and, with every step, grows older until she's a 16 year old girl. When the boy turns a corner, he disappears. But the girl sees a building collapsing close to her. She sees a frightened little boy in it. Out of nowhere, a name comes to her.

"Sohma-kun...Yuki-kun!"

The boy looks up and runs towards her. But as he runs, she notices another boy running towards her. He's out of breath and his orange bangs are sweeping against his eyes. When she looks back at the other boy, she sees that he's turned into someone her age with silver hair and extraordinary looks running towards her as well. As they get to her, she gets stuck in a crossfire and colourful smoke surrounds her. She starts choking and she can't breath. She instantly collapses to the ground before hearing one last scream:

"TOHRU!"

Tohru woke up gasping for breath. It was though it had really happened. After a bit of coughing, she looked up and noticed Hatori-san, Shigure-san, Kyo-kun and Yuki-kun crowded around her. It was strange seeing the two after seeing them in her dreams. But she couldn't tell who the little boys were. The one huddled in the corner andthe one with the hat.

"Honda-san," Yuki said, "Are you all right? We tried to wake you up, but you wouldn't until now." He had concern in his voice, but it was empty. He could barely remember her, so it was awkward talking to her. Kyo felt the same way, which was why he wasn't talking.

"It's okay," Hatori reassured Tohru, who must have looked pretty scared, "This is usually normal if there are breathing problems during sleeping, such as snoring, or nightmares." This only made Tohru look even more frightened.

"Um...Hatori-san...how did I get here exactly?" That was only one question along many. Why were Kyo and Yuki here? What room were they in? Why couldn't she remember anything that happened?

"Yuki, Kyo and yourself were all crushed beneath a bookcase...which you knocked over."

"I did? I'm so sorry to cause this much trouble!Because of my carelessness, I caused all of us to get hurt!" Tohru fought the pain in her head to get up, but was gently pushed back down by Hatori.

"Please lie down," He said, "I wouldn't want you to be in more pain than necessary." She was just like before, yet completely different. Her cheerfulness seemed hidden beneath confusion. Her normal optimism was almost nonexistent. And, of course, she couldn't remember anything of the times she had with Yuki and Kyo. She forgot about the curse, Kyo's true form, everything. Although she still recognized the people in front of her, she didn't know them at all.

After Kyo, Yuki and Tohru were feeling better, Tohru decided to go back home to her Grandfather.

"Thank you very much for your hospitality these past months," Tohru had said graciously, "But I think it would be best if I returned to my family. That's only natural." The Sohma family (Well, the juunishi and Mine) was at Shigure's house when she made this conclusion. Hatori shuddered. Her words came almost exactly from his mouth the time he had tried to convince her to go back home.

"Good bye, Tohru-chan!" Momiji told Tohru cheerfully, yet with tears in his eyes, "Never forget us!" At least, the rabbit thought, not the fact that you were once with us. Tohrubid Momijifarewell, followed by Kisa-san, who wouldn't talk since she was crying so hard, and Hiro, who refused to look at her.

"I'll miss you terribly, Tohru-kun!" Kagura told her friend.

"I'll miss you too, Kagura-san!" Tohru said, giving her a hug. She wouldn't admit that she could hardly remember what they had done together. She had forgotten her love for Kyo and the double date they went on with Yuki and Kyo. Ayame was crying dramatically, giving Tohru a kiss on the cheek (and receiving a hit on the head from Yuki).

"Thank you for the treatment," Tohru said to Hatori, bowing in front of him. Next was Haru, Ritsu, and Mine (I won't include Akito, Rin or Kureno.), who all gave her meaningful goodbye's which she couldn't return. Finally, Shigure, Yuki and Kyo were left.

"Well, goodbye, sweet Tohru," Shigurereplied to Tohru's farewell, "I hope you have the most enjoyable life at your Grandfather's." Tohru shifted uncomfortably at being called "Sweet Tohru". Nevertheless, she still smiled and thanked him. Next was Yuki.

"Well, I guess this is goodbye." Yuki said. They were both pretty uncomfortable. They could barely remember each other. "So, I'll see you at school."

"Okay! See you then!" Tohru replied. She walked over to the last person to talk to. Kyo. There was a long pause of silence.

"Bye." Kyo muttered. He left it at that as Tohru bowed and said goodbye to him. If it wasn't for Tohru, Kyo would've probably left school, fight Yuki every day and reject more people. If it wasn't for Kyo, Tohru wouldn't have ever tried to think about herself or say what she wants. But what was worse, none of them knew this anymore. As Tohru walked out the door, everyone waved to her. She said one last goodbye and then turned towards home.

"Be safe."

Tohru turned around, but saw that no one was there. She figured it was nothing and walked away, leaving behind the rest of her memories.

Thank you for reading! Sorry this took so long. But at least I read manga 6 and 7 and watched Volume 3 of the shows. Stick around for Chapter 3!
