Disclaimer: The only thing I own in this story is the plotand Tohru's "sister"...I really don't know what gave me the idea of giving Tohru a sister though...but I don't own anything else.

Recap on Chapter 1:
After dinner, Hatsuharu and Kisa said goodnight and goodbye and left. Then something totally unexpected happened. Tohru asked me to stay with her…forever.

"WHAT?"

"Please Mika. Please stay with me. Don't leave me." She turned to the head of the house. "Shigure would it be okay if she stayed? Would Akito min…?" Someone's hand cut off the rest of her sentence. Tohru wriggled free and turned to see yet another man…

Chapter 2: A Hazy Past

"Ha…Hatori? What are you doing here?" Tohru was pleasantly surprised.

"I don't think it would be a good idea to ask Shigure if a friend could stay here. He might get the wrong idea." Hatori said slowly.

"HATORI! What brings you here now? At this hour?" Shigure questioned, a smile brightened his face.

"Akitothought I would be needed soon. I'm staying the night, that is if you don't mind."

"Of course not Hatori! We'd love to have you stay. And what you mean I would get the wrong idea." Shigure leaned toward Hatori conspiratorially. "And what does Akito really have planned?" He whispered this last thing but I still heard him. Akito. I knew I've heard the name before but…where? Who was that little boy yelling? Was that me? Who was the woman I was crying over? Names and faces were running through my head but nothing made sense. Why did everything seem so familiar?

"NOOOO!…" I couldn't get anything straight. I felt like something hit me right in the gut and I staggered backwards towards the door. Everyone was staring at me. I started to panic for some reason. Events I didn't remember happening flashed into my thoughts. I couldn't stay so I ran.

"MIKA!" Tohru screamed and tried to grab my cloak but I was too fast.

I was almost out of sight of the house when something pulled me back. I whirled around and found that it was a "someone", but I couldn't see his face. I fought to get free but he grabbed my arms and spoke quickly and quietly.

"I don't want to hurt you Mika! I just want to talk!" It was Kyo. Even though his voice was serious in a way I had never heard before, something in it told me it was okay. I calmed down and we foundfallen tree and sat down. "What's wrong, Mika? Why did you run?" He was looking down at me obviously worried and confused.

"I…I don't know…I can't remember." I put my face in my hands and turned away. A few moments later a warm, but tentative hand alighted on my back.

"Don't worry. You can tell me. I'll listen to what's troubling you." Kyo was acting drastically different from how I had seen him act at school. However, something about his behavior was eerily familiar. I gave into instinct and laid my head on his shoulder and told him everything I could remember. I told him about school, Tohru, faces and names running through my head. I trusted him even though I had just met him. But something deep inside told me that wasn't true.

"I had a feeling that was you," Kyo said with a smile while taking my hand. "You look totally different from how you look in school."

"Was that why you looked so surprised to see me this afternoon?" I asked quietly.

"Well…ummm…yeah. I knew you were the same girl in class because of your eyes but I didn't know you were Tohru's sister. Why are you in our grade when you're a year older?"

"Because I'm not a year older. Only two months. You see…Tohru's mother, Kyoko, is my step mom. Our father had a relationship with another woman before he married Kyoko. Kyoko knew about it but she still raised me and loved me like her own flesh and blood after father died. I never found out who my real mother was because she died giving birth to me. But then Tohru's mom died. I felt horrible, like it was my fault. I left that summer saying I was going to look for a job but I really left because my own mother died and the woman who cared for me was gone forever and I really didn't see any reason to stay any longer. I truly didn't mean to hurt Tohru like I did. It just ended up being like that."

"Did you leave to train?" I nodded sadly.

"Yes I did. I was weak then, I couldn't stick up for my self. My only friend stuck up for me but he ended up dead. This was right before Kyoko died." I turned my face away again.

"Your friend died protecting you?" Kyo was confused. I looked back at him.

"Not exactly 'died', but this is really where it gets confusing. I remember my friend trying to protect me from someone. Then, Ithink I sawhim being thrown to the ground. I ran to help him but he totally forgot who I was and where we were. That's why I call him 'dead'. He forgot me, forgot everything, like it never happened."

"Oh…" Suddenly a look of disgust and shock covered Kyo's face. "Wait a second…did you say he forgot everything? Like he lost his memory?" His red-brown eyes were flashing angrily.

"Yeah…why?" Kyo was furious. His temper was going to blow soon and I decided then that I had said too much. "I…I've got to be going now…" I stood up, but Kyo wouldn't release my hand.

"Wait…" Kyo's anger had dissipated and he was clam like it had never happened. "Please. Stay the night at least. It's late already and it feels like a storm is coming. I don't…I mean…I'm sure Tohru doesn't want to lose you again. Plus, she's probably really worried about you."

Something in the back of my subconscious pushed it's way into my waking mind. "I'm so scared and worried about you, Mika. I don't want to lose you again. You have to run. I know you don't want to but you can't stay here. You'll get hurt. I can deal with…"

"So will you stay?" Kyo's voice drowned out my memory. Who was the speaker? He sounded so familiar. What was I so reluctantly running from? Who could the speaker deal with? "Mika?" Kyo's voice broke into my thoughts again. He was looking at me curiously and worried.

"Oh…yeah. I guess one night couldn't hurt. Thanks Kyo. You lifted a lot off my chest." I went to hug him but something held me back. A secret. Why did I sense this secret? Was it real or was I imaging things again? And if it was real, then who's secret was it? I intended to find out all the answers, and soon.

I hope that you all liked the second chapter. I'll be up later with the third chapter soon. Please R&R.
