Chapter 9
"Is anybody home?" Hatori asked. It was a quiet home in Shigure's house. He looked around and saw Momiji sat on the end of the stairway. He was a bit quite. Then the young boy looked at the doctor.
"Oh... You're back." he said.
"Tohru's still upstairs, right?" Hatori asked.
"Why are you worried so much? She's safe up there, in case we'll be talking something about her 'death' or something." He said Ironically and left the room. Hatori stared at him and sighed loudly. He soon went upstairs to Tohru's room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------
Yuki planted (for the first time) alone in his secret garden. He was sad about Tohru and knew that she herself had the same feeling. He wondered what she would be doing after what she heard.
After a few moments, he heard whispers behind the bushes. He stood up and made a peek. He saw Kyou and Kagura in a nearby pond. They were talking about something serious. Yuki went closer and listened closely.
"Really?" Kyou asked.
"Yeah, I heard Shigure talking to Akito about something. And I know Tohru's in it." Kagura explained.
"But, why would Akito talk about Tohru?"
"I don't know but later, I heard Shigure inviting Hatori over to do his 'thing'"
"His thing?" Kyou sounded confused and Kagura understood him.
"Yeah, they even argued about it. Shigure then explained that if we all cared for her, we should not let her face this hardship. She mustn't be involved so he need to come over and. do Akito's order." She looked at Kyou and stared at him. "What do you think about it?"
"I don't know." Kyou answered.
"I know.." Yuki stood up, making them surprised. "I think that Hatori's going to. erase her memory."
Both of them were silent. They nodded to each other and they quickly ran toward the house, leaving Kagura behind. "What is this all about?" she asked.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
Hatori sat beside Tohru, who was half asleep. She looked at him, thinking that he was Shigure. "Ah.. I'll be doing lunch today. don't worry.." she whispered.
"It's nearly dinner.. and we'll just buy some food outside. You don't have to worry much, Tohru-kun." He said.
"Shi-san... am I going to die?" she asked. He noticed that he was called in a different name. He grinned at her.
"Not yet... as long as you won't get involved anymore, Tohru-kun." he said calmly. He placed his hand in her forehead and slowly, he covered her eyes. He remembered when he had to erase Kana's memory. It was Akito's order and also, right now, Akito ordered him to do it.
"I guess I don't have a choice." He whispered.
"Yuki.. don't worry about me." She murmured. He stared at her, knowing she was asleep, even thought his hand was still covering her eyes. "Even.if my memory. will be erased. can. can you still be friends. with me?"
He stopped. He remembered Kana crying while he apologized about everything. She was crying too and she also apologized that she can't protect him. He felt bad for a moment..
The door opened and Kyou came in. "Get your hands off her!!!"
Then Yuki came in behind him. "Hatori, what did you do?" then the rest of the Sohmas followed.
Hatori stood up calmly, knowing that he can't do it in front of them. "I'm here for Tohru's health. Remember, I'm her doctor and she's my patient. Right, now, she needed some rest---"
"What is this about?" Kyou asked. All them were silent. Hatori made a small grin.
"Kyou-kun.. she's okay, nothing happened."
"What do you mean 'NOTHING HAPPENED?'" he asked angrily.
"Were you planning something? Then we came in the nick of time that you didn't had the chance to do it, right?" Yuki was searching for an answer. Tohru's fine with them. How come Akito asked Hatori to erase her memory?
Hatori sighed loudly as he stared the two raging Sohmas. "I tell you: She's fine. She'll be okay even though she's too weak to move. I'll be back after a few days to check her out again." Then the doctor left.
"What's the commotion?" Tohru asked as she yawned and stirred from her sleep. Kisa went closer to her and touched her weak hand.
"Did Ojii-san do something to you?" Kisa asked.
"Ano.. Shigure didn't do anything to me.. he just told me that.. that I shouldn't get involved." then her eyes closed and went back to her sleep.
"Stupid girl. Hasn't she noticed that it was Hatori who was beside her?" Hiro grumbled.
"At least she's okay." Kagura giggled. "She looked so cute when she sleeps." She glanced at Yuki then at Kyou. Both of them looked satisfied as they saw Tohru smiling on her sleep. She
"What's our dinner, Kagura-san?" Momiji looked at Kagura who was on her way down to the kitchen. "I can help you!!!"
"Okay. you can slice the onions" Kagura smiled.
"Ne??? How come I always get to do that job???" Momiji cried out but still, he went downstairs after her. The rest followed.
Yuki glanced at Kyou. Both of them were alone in the room with Tohru and Kisa. She was still holding Tohru's hand, not letting it go.
"For the first time.. I did something similar with you." Yuki said. Kyou looked at him and he grinned.
"No this is the second time." He replied. "Remember the time when we are about to go to the main house for New Year until Hana-chan passed by and made us turn back?" Then both of them laughed.
"That was the main reason why I don't want to be close to her." Yuki laughed.
"Hey me too!!!" Kyou laughed hysterically. Kisa stared at them. She was smiling.
"I hope you can be like this forever." She whispered. Both of them were startled and staring at Kisa's eyes. "Onee-chan will be very happy because of this." They made no reaction.
But there was one thing for sure.
They were smiling inside.. and they were happy that they were cousins..
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
"So.. Kyou and Yuki interfered." Shigure hissed while Hatori reached in his pocket for his car keys.
"It doesn't matter. We have a few more days left. I need to please Akito before he----" Hatori began but Shigure stooped him by gripping his neck tightly.
"Don't think like that!" Shigure growled. Hatori nodded helplessly and Shigure let him go.
"I'll try again next time. For now, goodbye Shigure." He walked towards his car.
"When will you do it?.. we have a little time left.."
