Disclaimer: Yeah yeah! So far I got a couple of reviews. I've been reading a lot of Fruba fan fics to try to get a perspective of how other fans see the characters.

Then I thought "screw it! This is MY fic!" Though I do enjoy a lot of Fruba fan fics! Especially Kyo n Tohru ones…and Yuki and Haru…but I'm not sick obsessed with the last one…no no no…no…ahem

I don't own the characters cept Kasumi. On with the show!

(People have been wondering about the lack of Lai in the disclaimers. We're not on very good terms right now…its cousin stuff.)

(also, good news! I've read up to manga volume 13! So I know all the Zodiac and stuff now…I know, that's really sad on my account but oh well. ((sigh)))

If Only You Remembered.

Chapter 3

Tohru was pushing the bed over a few feet to make room for her futon with the help of Yuki. "Are you sure you're comfortable with Kasumi staying in your room?" He asked.

Tohru wiped her forehead with her forearm. "Well sure. I mean, it's not technically my room anyway since this is Shigure's house."

"That doesn't answer my question really." Yuki said as gently as he could.

Tohru nodded and smiled. "I have no problem with it or her." Yuki didn't say anything. He was still sure that Tohru didn't want Kasumi in her room. Why, though, was a bigger question.

"I should get the futon." Tohru said and hurried out of the room. Yuki sighed, stuffed his hands in his pockets and kicked the bed.

Kasumi rolled her sleeve back down and Hatori took his stethoscope out of his ears. "Well, Kasumi, considering you haven't seen a doctor in months, you're pretty healthy."

"Pretty healthy?" she repeated. "What's wrong with me?"

"Your heart rate is below normal as well as your blood temperature. Do you know how low it is?" Hatori eyed her above his glasses.

Kasumi shook her head. "I don't want to know. Where's Aaya-san anyway?" Kasumi asked, falling back on her elbows.

Hatori stood. "Unfortunately, he and Shigure will be here soon. But before that, I need to talk to you about something serious."

Kasumi shrugged. "Mmk. What is it?"

"I know you've had a recent encounter with Kyo. I know he doesn't remember you as you remember him. I don't want you to pressure him into remembering."

Kasumi sat up. "But Hatori-san! If you can remove memories can't you give them back?" she demanded. Hatori sniffed. "No."

Kasumi looked down at the floor and her eyes slowly drifted over to the pond. "Hatori, I want to see Akito-san."

Hatori blinked at her. "You do, do you?"

"Yes." She answered sullenly. "And I want to see him with Kyo if it's possible. If not…then I want to see him as soon as possible."

Hatori didn't answer right away. "I don't think it's a good idea to drag Kyo with you. Akito won't even want him there anyway."

Kasumi shrugged and remained silent.

"I know it might be hard. But he might not even want you there." Hatori said as gently as possible. Kasumi stood up infuriated. A bird had landed on the railing beside her. She eyed it with a murderous intention. Hatori stood up and grabbed her arm, leading her away from the pond and the bird and inside.

"We should wait for Aaya-san and Shigure. Inside." He added when Kasumi stalled in the doorway. Reluctantly enough, she followed him inside.

Hatsuharu and Kagura were sitting at the table in Kagura's house. "So, Kasumi really is back?" Kagura asked nervously. She was fidgeting around and playing with the hem of her dress.

"Are you worried? Nervous? Jealous?" Hatsuharu asked trying to hit a soft spot (but not on purpose of course…!). Kagura looked up at the word jealous. "Well…m-maybe just a little. I am because she does love Kyo-kun but less than me of course." She bit her bottom lip. "Oh, I guess that's why I'm a little jealous too, but not much. Okay, I am."

Hatsuharu sat in silence while she rambled. And Kagura did indeed continue to ramble. "But I'm worried because Akito-san really doesn't like Kyo-kun that much and Kasumi is Akito-san's daughter." Kagura felt her eyes water and she shook her head shaking a tear out of her eye and down her cheek. She rubbed her cheek with the sleeve of her dress.

Hatsuharu sat back, slightly amused. "Okay, okay, I get it. So why don't you go see her?"

Kagura looked up. "Why should I…?"

"There's only one way to confront your fears." He answered getting up. Kagura blinked at him. "You really think I should go talk to her?"

Hatsuharu shrugged. "I think I want to go visit sensei anyway. Coming?"

Kagura looked over her options one more time then awkwardly stood up and followed Haru outside.

Momiji was sitting on Tohru's bed while Tohru herself was fixing up the futon. "So, how is Kasumi?" Momiji asked. Tohru shrugged. "I only met her for a few seconds then she ran off to Hatori-san's."

Momiji sighed. "I've only met her once, too. I didn't really get to talk to her but I saw her talking to Shigure once. It was right before the New Year's ceremony too."

"Huh." Torhu placed another sheet on the futon. "Shigure-san said that she was Akito's daughter."

Momiji sat up. "I heard that from Haru too. I'm not so sure if it's true though…"

Tohru turned around and faced Momiji. "What do you mean? Shigure-san said it himself that—."

Momiji slid off the bed. "Exactly." A dark look passed over Momiji's face but only for a second before he brightened up again. "Oh hey, Tohru! Kisa-chan wants to do something with you today before she meets Kasumi! So let's go find her!"

Tohru, dumbfounded (isn't that unusual—yes that is sarcasm…(sigh)), nodded to him and followed him out of the room. Momiji slipped on his shoes and waited impatiently for Tohru to her jacket and shoes. "Should we really leave the place like this when nobody's home?" she asked warily.

"Somebody is home." The door slid open and Kasumi took a step in. Tohru and Momiji froze. Kasumi smiled at them, a smile that didn't seem like it was meant as a warm, friendly one. "Tohru…Momiji." She greeted coolly. "Are you going out?"

Tohru nodded. "Yes, we were going to see um, Kisa." Momiji stared at Kasumi. Kasumi looked down on him, ignoring Tohru. "I've seen you around Momiji-chan. I'm glad I finally got to talk to you." Momiji said nothing but blinked as he was a loss for words.

Kasumi straightened up. "Well, I'm leaving too soon, so I'll lock up. I'm going to see Akito-san."

Tohru felt the hair on the back of her neck prick up. "A-Akito-san? H-how come?" Momiji opened his mouth to say something but closed it again. The he said, "He hurt Tohru, Akito did."

Kasumi raised an eyebrow. "So? Does that mean I'm not allowed to see him? Who cares if he did? You might…but I wasn't there to witness it." She stepped in between them, slipping her shoes off then just stood there. "By the way, where's Kyo-kun?"

Tohru spun around. "W-why? Are you going to take him to Akito? Are you?"

Kasumi blinked at her. Tohru took a deep breath. "Because…Kyo-kun doesn't get along with Akito…a-and I don't think—."

Kasumi turned on her, a glare in her red eyes. "What I do with Kyo-kun or what I plan to do with him or Akito…is none of your business. So back off."

With that, she fled up the stairs, leaving Tohru and Momiji a little shocked and shaken. Tohru felt tears threatening her. "But if Kyo-kun goes to see Akito, Akito might—." She shook her head. Momiji patted her arm. "Let's go see Kisa now."

Kasumi watched from the stairs as Tohru took a few deep breaths, smiled, and followed Momiji out the door. The stairs creaked and she turned around. Yuki was standing behind her. She sighed. "You scared me."

"Do I?" he asked and pushed past her. "You shouldn't treat Honda-san that way. She is being generous with sharing rooms with you."

Kasumi smiled. "I bet—." She left her sentence unfinished and retreated up the steps. Yuki glared at her back, then retreated himself to the kitchen. "Where the heck is Shigure?"

YAY! Wow, when I want a chapter done, I get it done. I'm glad since I'm so far behind on updating. I wanted this to end sooner but I just couldn't find a good place to stop. See…I'm rambling. Oh well, I'll have another chapter up soon! Ja ne.
