Is Tohru going to remember what happened to her in the past, or will Kyo stop this from happening? Sequel to my first story
Chapter 1- Life And Its Pain
He awoke the next morning to his alarm clock going off. He quickly hit the button and sat up. His eyes wondered about the room for a split second before he had stood up and walked to the bathroom. There he brushed his teeth and washed his face. His eyes had been blood shot from all the crying he had done the day before. He let out a sigh as he took some clothe out of his dresser and got dressed. Then he decided to have some toast. When he had finished eating it had already been time for him to go to school. He gathered his books and left the apartment.
The bell rang, and Kyo stood from his chair. This was his last class of the day, and it was a Friday. He was sure he was going to be able to see Tohru just like he had yesterday. But he didn't know if he had gotten out of the class to earlier, or to late. But when he looked around there she was walking by herself down the hallway. She walked right past Kyo, and when seeing him she couldn't help but stare And of course Kyo couldn't help but stare right back.
Tohru stared, it was as if she knew him. But at the same time knew she didn't. She had wanted to say something so bad, but decided not to and just kept walking.
The words that Kyo was trying to hold back for so long didn't stay in his throat anymore. "Tohru?" he blurted out making Tohru turn and look at him.
"Yes?" she answered quickly, still staring strait at him. She didn't care how he knew her name. Only that when he called it something inside of her tingled. Like it was just perfect for Kyo, or to her this boy, to say her name.
"uh…nothing. I'm sorry I thought you were someone else," Kyo said trying to cover himself up.
Someone else? Tohru was sure she was the only one with that name in the entire school. But she could be wrong, and now she guessed she was. She just smiled softly and continued to walk away. But for some reason something was telling her to stay, and just talk to him. To figure out who he was.
This was it, Kyo couldn't take it anymore. He had to be able to speak to her again. It wouldn't be right if he just saw her every day and didn't say a word to her after this. He looked up, only to see Tohru staring at him as she left the school building. Sadness had been in her eyes for some reason. It was like she didn't want to leave and not be able to see Kyo anymore. Quickly Kyo ran after her until he caught up to her. When he had, he grabbed her arm and swirled her around.
"Do you remember me?" Kyo asked, hope in his eyes and voice. Showing Tohru he wanted the answer to be yes.
"no, I don't remember you. Or know you. I'm sorry," she replied seeming a bit confused to his out burst on her. Kyo looked at her for a split second before letting her go and turning around. "But I wouldn't mind getting to know you. And maybe if I had known you in the past, I will be able to remember,"
The first part of what Tohru had said made him happy. But when he heard that she was willing to remember him, now that stung his heart. He didn't want her to remember the past. Nor did he ever want her to forget it. But she had, and now this was a different time. A different life. And a most definite new beginning.
"That would be good," Kyo said without thinking. Before he knew it, he was smiling. But his smile quickly faded when he saw Mea come running up to him, waving and smiling as usual.
"Hey Kyo, want to do something today?" she asked.
"Kyo?" Tohru looked at him, then she saw something pop into her mind. It was her, and she was standing there right when the roof of a house caved in. A piece of the roof hit her in the head as Kyo came crashing down and yelling something at another boy. Then Tohru snapped back in reality.
"I…I…I saw you…" Tohru said to Kyo. "Its was me, and you, and two other boys. One with…light hair. And another…with black…I think," Tohru said.
Kyo stared wide eyed at Tohru. Could she be talking about Yuki and Shigure. Well of course she was, but how…how did she see them again? Kyo looked from Tohru, then back to Mea. Mea had been looking at Tohru, but the look she was giving Tohru wasn't a happy look at all. More of a jealous and get lost look in Kyo's opinion.
"I…I really need to go," Kyo said trying to break this very awkward moment they were having.
"No wait!" Tohru said grabbing onto Kyo's arm. "I…would really like to get to know you now," she said, her face turning a crimson red, almost as red as Kyo's eyes.
Mea didn't say another word. She had only given Kyo a dirty look before storming off. Neither Kyo or Tohru had noticed this. The only thing they knew was someone had to say something, and soon.
"uh…" was all Kyo could say.
Tohru smiled and let go of his arm. "please?" Tohru said, almost pleading him.
Its not that Kyo wanted to say no. Of course he didn't want to say no. It was just if she remembered the first time that he and her had ever met then that wasn't good. Something was going on. Unless it was just going to happen this one time. But still when he would tell himself this, he would only think of something worse happening to her. What if she did remember. He shook his head slightly to get the idea out of his mind. No one ever remembered after there memory was erased. And he only knew this because know one had ever come back to the Sohma's main house.
"Okay," Kyo finally said. This had made Tohru smile so softly that Kyo had to look away to hide a tear that had slipped down his cheek. He wanted to tell her not to smile, but he couldn't do that. It would seem to odd.
"Are…you okay?" Tohru asked after a long period of silence. Kyo hadn't answer her, instead he just lifted his head and looked around himself. Every one was gone, and the only people he could see now was Tohru. And his own feet when he were to look down.
"Listen Tohru," Kyo's eyes met with Tohru's and he had to swallow a lump that had built up in his throat. "You have to promise me not to remember…"
Tohru stared at Kyo as if he were insane. Tohru had no idea what he was talking about at this point. But just nodded so he would finally walk with her. For some reason she had felt so comfortable next to him. And, so she thought, she didn't even know him. Only met him today, and her she was having him walk her home like they were going out. Or they were really good friends or something. She looked up from her feet and saw they that were descending on her block.
"Want to go out for ice-cream before I go home?" Tohru asked. Why? Why was she acting like this? She barely even knew him, and here she was asking him if he wanted ice-cream with her. He was going to say no for sure.
"Um…okay…" Kyo said, turning the direction he was walking in.
