Fruits Basket: Memories

"Yes I'm fine, Hatsuharu will you STOP asking me that question." Kyou laughed inside as he heard Kagura argue with Haru over him asking her if she was alright. Kagura hadn't changed that much, but well… it was also that part of her which he liked about her. "Please, Haru-chan, there was one thing I need to know…"
"What?" Haru replied.
"Could you tell me who that boy was downstairs, the one with the orange hair..." Kyou's eyes dimmed, so she really didn't remember, remember him – he was the one she had wanted so badly and now she didn't even know him… recall him. "Don't change the subject, TELL ME!" Kyou turned and went to his room instead of Tohru's he couldn't face Kagura yet.

"Alright Kagura-nee, that boy was Sohma Kyou, the cat of the zodiac." Haru explained. Kagura's head tilted to the side, confusedness filled her grey eyes as she questioned him by them alone. The next thing she said really surprised Haru:
"Cat?" She asked almost as if she didn't know there was a cat; did Hatori erase that part of her memories too? So she didn't remember anything about her past… "Haru there isn't a cat… twelve animals. Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Rooster, Monkey, Dog and Boar…" She trailed off hoping she got it in order. She really didn't understand what he meant by Cat, there wasn't anything in the stories about the cat being there.
"Well the cat was tricked by the rat, like the ox was, and he was told the party was the day after."

Kagura honestly didn't remember, though at that moment something hit her, her eyes widened as she recalled something:
A woman, with hair around her chest, her hair was brown, not as dark as hers, her eyes – well she couldn't see her eyes, but there was a little girl on her lap with hair around her shoulders like Kagura's, she was explaining something to her daughter:
"That stupid cat was a fool, you know that, you shouldn't talk to him." The smile on the little girls' face, she knew that smile… it was hers…
Kagura's hand went up to her head, she felt dizzy, as if something had hit her, as if she had stood up too quickly and the blood rushed to her head.

"Kagura?" Tohru asked concerned as she placed her hands on the boar's shoulders: Tohru's eyes looked really full of worry. "Oh, I'll get you a drink of water…" Tohru said as she raced out the room. Momiji and Haru just looked at Kagura as if she was an alien or something. It was just so weird, the cat was important – in a way – to the zodiac, so why now, why did she have to forget. Forget about accepting Kyou – that was going to be hard on him, he was going to have to be accepted by her once more… she had to see his other form once more… and if she acted the same way, well who could blame her?

Tohru entered the kitchen to find Yuki there, he was just standing at the sink.
"Y-Yuki?" She asked almost instantly as he turned towards her with his charming smile.
"Miss Honda? Is there something you need?" Yuki asked charmingly as he turned to the side a little for Tohru to get in to the sink and get Kagura's drink.
"Kagura's feeling dizzy so I am getting her a drink of water." Yuki looked down. Tohru caught the gesture, so this was getting to Yuki too.
"You know that day when that stupid cat's other side was shown, Kagura made me realise something." Yuki began.
"Oh." Tohru looked to Yuki as the water filled up the cup. "What?"
"Well she asked me who decided that just because the cat and the rat in the story were enemies, that it meant that Kyou and I had to be the same… it was interesting, that was the reason why I followed you after him." Yuki said. Tohru's eyes snapped on Yuki, the water overfilling the cup.

Kagura looked towards Haru as he told her more about Kyou.
"Yet Kagura-nee, if you want to understand him – you should talk and ask him himself." Haru suggested as Kagura nodded in a timid way, she was back to being that nice angel Kagura… (Oh – Angel Kagura & Devil Kagura )
