Fruits Basket: Memories

I don't own anything in this fiction but the two main OCs: Elyon and Misty. I don't gain any money for the production of this fiction. I live to please my readers!

Kyou stared at Yuki after Kagura and Tohru left. His crimson eyes never blinked as he held a gaze of warning, a bad reply in this situation was going to lead to a bad experience afterwards, he really wanted to know, and was suddenly concerned – not that he was going to let anyone else know that.
"I think I'll go and put the kettle on!" Shigure said standing up. Yuki grabbed his kimono as he began to walk past him and ordered him to stay and sit back down as this was as much his fault…
"Well… there is no easy way to put this Kyou, if there was then I would say it…" Yuki began trying to sound nice. He knew what Kyou was like when Tohru might have had to get her memories erased, yet this would be worse, seeing as there was no need for Kagura to get her memories erased – not really any reason.
"Come on stop stalling." Kyou said beginning to feel awkward for some odd reason. This was mainly because Yuki was trying to be nice to him… was Kagura in some sort of trouble?
"Well . . . . she had her memories erased." Yuki quickly added as Kyou was getting uneasy. Okay, three two one lets hear something break… wait, no there was nothing. Everyone turned towards the cat.

Kyou hadn't moved, hadn't even blinked – and he had to want to…
"Kyou?" Shigure asked watching the cat wondering why he hadn't made a single move and wondering why it looked like his heart had shattered into a thousand pieces. He usually was terrible to Kagura… oh, that was probably the reason, and he probably blamed himself. They watched as Kyou then sat down in an un-casual way and watched as tears seemed to fill up in his crimson eyes. Yuki's eyebrows rose as he then watched Kyou dart out of the room. "He took that better than I thought he would have. I expected my house to be at least broken in some way." Shigure was trying to be funny, but to be honest, this was no laughing matter and everyone else gave him a look that told him off for being inconsiderate. "What?" The dog asked holding a smile…
"Now tell us Shigure, what do you think about this situation?" Haru asked standing at the door with his arms crossed holding a gaze that everyone had known was for Black Haru but something shown that it he was white... they had seen this once before, after Kisa bit his arm. "Do you think it's funny that Kagura has had her memories erased because we were all too selfish to realise that she was depressed and feeling alone?"

It was funny, because Yuki was about to ask the same question. Momiji jerked his head of messy yellow around the doorframe.
"Where is Tohru?" The blonde asked after doing a search and not finding his 'best' friend. "Is she upstairs?"
"She's upstairs, yes, Momiji." Ayame was being strangely – normal – for a change. Momiji's face lit up and he raced up the stairs to find Momiji and not to his knowledge Kagura.
"Well, Shigure?" Haru repeated his question wanting to know why he found it so funny that Kagura had wanted her memories erased.
"Well of course I think it's inappropriate for Kagura to get her memories erased." Shigure said stating the obvious.
"Its our fault, she should have been able to come to us and tell us about her feelings." Haru continued. "She shouldn't have gone to Hatori in the first place and he shouldn't have answered her plea." The only thing they hadn't known was her feelings about Kyou's 'deceit'. They all should have known that Kagura couldn't have forgiven a 'one time fling' even if she had said so. Well, she hadn't exactly witnessed a 'one time fling'… that was what her eyes had leaded her to believe.

"Tohru!" Momiji's voice chirped through the whole house as he raced over to Tohru and went to hug her. It was Kagura who stopped him and he looked up at her with suspicion in his eyes, why didn't he let her hug Tohru. "Oh, I get it – you want me to hug you first!" Momiji laughed as he hugged Kagura. Kagura sighed but returned the hug any way. She really needed the affection after all – she hadn't really known that she had felt any in the past. Momiji then jumped at the chance to hug Tohru and before they could even say a word Tohru was sitting up with a little blonde rabbit on her knees.
"Oh; Momiji." Kagura shook her head. Momiji and Kagura had spent loads of time together when they were younger so she obviously knew him; he wasn't just one of them that she had seen here and there like some of the others. They were really good friends. They went around with Haru when they were younger? Yeah she remembered Haru too! That was good; maybe they could get her to remember some parts of the past if they brought it up in regular conversation.
"Tohru, you do like me don't you, you don't mind if I transform do you?" Momiji asked with little tears falling out of his eyes. Tohru held him close and shook her head. "Yeah!" He laughed while he heard footsteps come up the stairs. Momiji couldn't help but wonder just who was visiting next.

Haru turned the doorknob to Tohru's room, he entered and saw them sitting there. Kagura looked different, well he hadn't expected her to act exactly the same way, but he didn't expect her to completely change the way she looked.
"Hey Kagura-nee, I was just wondering, are you alright?" Haru asked. Kagura turned to see him and smiled her happy smile and nodded.
"Of course I am." She replied. So Haru still considered her an older sister? He had always said she was like a big sister to him when they were younger, it was nice to be part of a 'family family' she couldn't remember anything about her parents except that her father passed away when she was young, she couldn't remember much about him except that he used to argue with her mother – but the rest about her mother – she just couldn't remember. "What about you?" Haru had some time to think about what to say, he wouldn't exactly say he was thrilled with the fact that Kagura let it get this bad but he couldn't let her know.
"Not bad." He nodded as he turned towards Tohru and saw Momiji, in rabbit form.
"I tried to stop him, but he got away from me." Kagura explained her smile still plastered on her face.

How come Kagura loosing her memories made her more important now? Haru couldn't help but find her more of an older sister than before now that she had forgotten so much of her childhood. Without a mother or a father she needed some one, they hadn't told any one yet outside of the zodiac, but they would have to tell the people who knew, in case they asked her something out of proportion of her memory. Perhaps he could help try to get her to remember. It was only when he came to that decision that Momiji had transformed back and Kagura and Tohru squealed before shutting their eyes tightly. Momiji was quick to replace his clothes as Haru then remembered Kyou, He had raced up to the roof – how exactly was the neko feeling now?

Next chapter we catch up with Kyou and what exactly the news has done to him, and why his heart shattered into a thousand pieces.
