Disclaimer: I don't own Furuba but I do own Hanako! No stealing her or this story or you shall pay dearly...

Warnings: Um...there's a swear word is this chapter (gasp!)

Chapter two is up! It didn't take too long but I had to re-write Hanako's entrance about three times...that's why it took longer than I thought. I will hurry up on chapter three. 'Cause that's when things get exciting!

Untouchable Memories

"It's only half a year." A young woman said as she rose from her seat. "Not very long."

"But what's the difference between taking pictures here and taking pictures in Australia?"

"It's good to travel sometimes. I just wish you could come with me…"

"I would, Hanako, but I need to look after Yuki. And I also have a job"

"Yes, I know."Hanako sighed as she looked to her companions. On the left was a stern looking with his hair half covering his face. He had provided them the transportation. On the right was another man, he was wearing a suit that he looked quite uncomfortable in. He had a smile on his face and his hair was parted in all directions.

"Flight three will be taking off in five minuets; I repeat flight three will be taking off in five minuets."

"That's your flight right Hanako?" The stern man asked.

"Yes it is."

"Than we better hurry, here are your bags."

"Thanks, Ha-san," Hanako said as she took the bags from Hatori. Then she turned to the man on her left. She took his hand, not dare embracing him.

"I will hope to see you soon Shigure, and I promise I will write."

"I know. Now hurry before you miss your flight." The girl smiled once again at the men and then turned around and dashed off, down to where her plane was boarding.

One year later

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound could be heard through the whole house. The Sohmas (and Tohru) had just finished eating. Everyone had gone to their separate rooms. Tohru was just finishing hanging up the clothes to dry on the clothes line when she heard the knocking. 'I guess I will get that.' She thought to herself with a smile. Lightly skipping to the door Tohru opened it. She stood there stunned for one moment, this person looked oddly familiar. Like someone Tohru had known for quite some time now. The stranger also stood there puzzled for a moment wondering who this strange girl was standing inside this well-known house.

"Um…may I come in?" Tohru suddenly snapped out of it.

"Oh yes! How rude of me come right in!"

"Thanks." The girl stepped into the house her chocolate eyes gleamed over all the things. They were all in order and looked so neat. Not like they had been when she last saw them.

"Did you clean this place up?" The woman asked eyeing Tohru.

"Oh, yes! I did!" She smiled lightly.

"Can you take me to Shigure's room?"

"Oh, um, sure." They walked up a flight of stairs and turned a corner into a doorway. The woman had a gleaming smile on her face.

"Now be very quiet while I go into the room, OK?"

"OK!" Tohru said happily. She did wonder what this girl was planning. The girl peeked into the room. Shigure sat with his head down reading one of his books. The woman walked quietly into the room.

"Shigure!" She screamed. So much for being quiet. Shigure looked up and realized who it was. But it was too late. The woman already had flung her arms around Shigure in an embrace. This made Tohru freeze. Did she know about the curse? What if she didn't. But Tohru's worries were over quickly. When the smoked cleared Tohru saw the smile on the woman's face. She had defiantly been exposed to the curse before.

"Hanako! I didn't know you would be coming home this soon. What a surprise!" Shigure said as he licked her face.

"That's what I wanted it to be!" Hanako said as she continued to hug the puppy Shigure. Tohru stood at the doorway. A bit shocked and a bit confused.

"Oh, how rude of me!" Hanako said looking at Tohru. "I'm Hanako Sohma. Shigure's younger sister."

Everyone sat around the Sohma table that night (Including Yuki and Kyou, who had now figured out that Hanako was here.).

"I'm still a bit confused." Said Tohru. "Ayame-san told me that Shigure-san was an only child."

"Well…Ayame-san had quite a short and memory and sometimes forgets important things." Hanako said as she popped a rice ball into her mouth. "It happens quite often."

"Do why'd you decide to come back?" asked Kyou. "I thought you were having a grand time in Australia with your little boyfriend."

"Boyfriend?"

"Yes remember, Hanako?" Shigure reminded her. "You said you were staying in Australia for the other half of the year because you met a boy."

"Oh that! That was just a silly little crush besides, my heart is already too full to bear anyone else's love. I already have Shigure's and my true loves!"

"Who's that?" asked Yuki.

"It's a secret." She said with a warm smile. "And I will never tell. Not even to you Shigure."

"Aw, that's not fair. I'm your brother I should know!"

"Damn girl, always keeping secrets!" Kyou exclaimed.

"It's none of your business anyways, Kyou-kun!"

"Oh, um, Hanako-san?" Tohru cut in. "What were you doing in Australia anyways?"

"Oh, I'm a photographer. So I was taking some pictures of the outback. Which reminds me…"Hanako reached into her bag and pulled out a binder, she opened it carefully. There were many pictures placed securely in holders. Most of them were pictures of the Australian landscape but a few were pictures of Hanako and her friends. One of them was a stunning boy with bright blond hair and a happy smile plastered on his face. His hand tucked into Hanako's.

"Oh, is that the boy you had a crush on?" Tohru asked pointing to the picture with the boy.

"Yes, it is! Is he cute or what?"

"No he's not." Kyou argued.

"You wouldn't know a cute boy if he bit you in the butt!"

"Luckily for me a boy hasn't!" Hanako turned a couple more pages, stopping to look at each one.

"Oh, now we are getting into the older pictures, but still good ones." She turned to the last page. There was only one picture there. It was old and torn in the corners. It had a boy in it. The boy had his head tucked under his hands which were wrapped around his knees.

"Who's that?" Yuki asked. Hanako's eyes narrowed and so did Shigure's.

"Nobody's." She said as she closed the binder. She then smiled. "So where am I sleeping tonight?"

"You're staying the night?" Shigure asked.

"Of course!" Tohru smiled. It seemed like this girl was hiding something though. Tohru hoped she would get to talk to Hanako later.

Hm...Not much of a cliffie but what about that picture and who is her true love? Well just keep reading to find out! See you soon in chapter three!
