Chapter Twelve

Kagura looked out the window, her eyes still puffy from where she had happened to have been crying. Kyo had left her, just for a little while as he went to get her something to eat, she didn't know that the orange haired male actually knew how to cook, in fact she didn't know anything about him, yet it seemed like she knew everything about him. The boar sighed as she rocked from her sitting position:
"I wish I could remember, I just can't." Kagura told Tohru who had just entered, though she just knew it was her… she didn't have to look back.
"Kagura…" No, Tohru knew that she couldn't interfere by telling Kagura about Hatori and the fact that she had her memories erased. Kagura wished that Elyon and Lacey just hadn't had learned about the curse, it would have made it so much easier…

"They were my best friends… they were like family to me and I need them." She spoke. Sure Tohru knew what this was like, she had Arisa and Saki – they were exactly the same to her. They meant the world to Tohru so Elyon and Lacey must have meant, probably still does, mean the world to Kagura. Tohru placed down the clothes on the bed, beside Kagura and she turned and headed out – leaving Kyo in her place as he entered with a bowl of… leek soup? Wow, Kagura turned around and saw it.
"You're lucky, I don't usually use leeks, and they're stinking and vile." Kyo continued, but Kagura didn't continue to listen so didn't catch anything else. She just looked at the soup before staring to eat it… or drink it as it may have been.

Just what was she to do now, without her mother and without her friends…?

Elyon turned the corner, she had no right to do that to Kagura, she should have understood, Kagura understood in her time of need, asking her to play with her. She just didn't know if she was nasty or not… was she right to be shocked? Yes but was she right to be like that to Kagura? Elyon was confused… utterly confused. As she looked up, she spotted the way to Shigure's house and wondered if she was right to do this, to apologise.
"ELYON-SAN?" Elyon turned around, running up behind her was
"Lacey?" She trailed off in response and she looked down in sorrow, she was going to try and change her mind. Lacey's hand went to her shoulder.
"You were going to go and see Kagura, weren't you?" Elyon nodded in response to Lacey's question. Lacey's eyes widened. "After all that she's hidden from us!" Elyon couldn't say that she was shocked when she saw Haru there but… she that didn't make them any less human just because they were cursed. They were cursed and that wasn't there fault…

Elyon's eyes lute up! No matter what happened, Kagura didn't ask for this and she never got to say, yes, I'll do it or no thank you. Elyon had to understand that and to understand that meant to forgive and help Kagura in this hard time. She now realised, even though Kagura had been acting weird lately that might have been the reason, because Kagura happened to have been feeling guilty for hidden the curse from them.
"I'm sorry, Lace… I… I have to go." Elyon then picked up speed as she ran and headed towards Shigure's house knowing that she was going to get quite a bad reception from the members of the Sohma family.

Kagura looked towards Kyo.
"Kyo-kun, I don't understand." She said it again as he stood there beside her, she didn't seem to mind calling him Kyo-kun anymore. "I never even knew there was a cat in the zodiac, and I'm part of that zodiac." It was like she had amnesia but she still knew who she was, knew who her friends were… it was unreal.
"Kagura-san, you do know… deep down… you know everything." He comforted. "You just have to keep trying to remember." It wasn't Tohru that then came in, and it wasn't Elyon like you'd expect, it was… Yuki? Yuki entered the room and looked towards Kyo with a disrespectful look before turning to Kagura and speaking as calmly as ever.
"Haru and Momiji are leaving, Kagura." Yuki told her. "Are you coming to say goodbye." She nodded as she stood up and walked away from Kyo who suddenly looked like he saw red, but looking at Kagura he calmed down.

'If you and Yun-chan get to know each other better then you could even be friends… I'd like that.'

He remembered what he said to her and then looked away.
"Bye!" Momiji squealed as he ran to her and hugged her. Kagura hugged him back. "Cheer up, Kagura." He laughed as he ran off outside, hoping like the rabbit that cursed him. Haru then looked towards Kagura and nodded.
"Goodbye, Kagura-nee." She smiled gently; it was nearly not a smile at all. He then followed Momiji… but both of them stopped as they saw who was there waiting…
"Elyon!" Kagura held a look of anger, sadness, and happiness (although she was confused) all at the same time.
