Fruits Basket: Memories
KyouxKagura

Chapter Seventeen:
I do not own Fruits Basket, or the characters you all know and love, but I do own Elyon, Lacey, Misty and Misty's un-named Master, who you will all be introduced to in this chapter: )

"Ellie, I'm not sure what time I'll be back at but I'm sure you'll have fun with Yun-chan and Shii-chan." Kagura told her green haired friend as they walked down the stairs of Shigure's house. Elyon just nodded in reply, fun with Yuki and Shigure? Well she was hoping to evade Shigure as much as possible; he was the one that was making her nervous.
"I still think you dig, Kyo." Though saying this was weird for her because Elyon was so used to hearing Kagura saying that she was going to marry the neko. "You'll remember to have fun yourself right?" The brunette just laughed as they got to the bottom of the stairs and standing at the door was Kyo, wearing a simple white shirt which lay open, revealing his toned chest and a pair of black trousers which were also quite simple but he wore black shoes. This park, was there something special about it? She had no idea but it wasn't long until he had escorted her out of the door and they started to go through the woods.
"How come I don't remember you but it seems like I've known you forever?" Kagura asked Kyo though it was more of a rhetorical question as she didn't expect an answer:
"Because maybe we have but you've just forgotten. We used to play with each other when we were younger." Kyo explained, though Kagura just gave a cute face and said:

"Nah, I think I'd remember, playing with you." Though she didn't mean it in a way to say she was interested in him, though she still managed to blush realising that it could have been taken that way.

Kagura looked down at the ground, she wondered if they would get to know each other as well as she wanted them to because it meant a lot to her.
"Well why don't you start with how you ended up staying with Shii-chan?" Kagura asked as this was one of the things she had been wondering. As Kyo started to explain they were walking out of the woods and into a dark town street to which of course she knew as it were only a few blocks away from her college. Kagura listened carefully but it was hard not to understand everything carefully. Kyo turned towards Kagura and as she spoke knew that it was great to be able to have a conversation with her without her shouting at him or becoming demonic and hurting him.

"So Master trained you too?" Kagura was shocked as she had never heard Kazuma talk about Kyo before. It was amazing that she was left out of everything, which would have meant Hatsuharu and Yuki never told her either! Was there anyone that the ino could trust? It didn't seem like it, all except Elyon and even Lacey had deserted her, it was almost too much for her to handle.
"Yes! He's the strongest man I've ever met, I don't think I'll ever get to his standards but I'm sure that if I keep training I'll get pretty darn close." Kyo answered his hand turning into a fist as he spoke with a sense of proud soaring into his voice.

It was then that Kyo had lead her into that park: a park that she knew but again she had never been there before:
"Hey! What are you doing?" A younger version of her asked as she tugged on a young boy's arm. The boy didn't want to talk but he was in the middle of drawing fried eggs on the ground. "You really like doing that don't you Kyo-kun?" She asked with a laugh. It was like the first time she met him, he was always drawing the same thing. "You won't become an artist drawing the same thing over and over again." The boy didn't seem impressed but again the neko was glad of the company as Kagura seemed to be the only one willing to play with him even if his mother wasn't so thrilled of it. They were in that same park… The vision trailed off in Kagura's mind as she looked down towards the ground, her hand went to her head, what was happening? Why was she remembering these things that made her so dizzy and upset? She wanted to know why these visions were recurring lately. They were like dreams that she wished had happened in real life. Kyo looked at her, and his eyes widened as he saw her hover, his hands went on her wrists:
"K-Kagura?" He stuttered at first in shock as she looked as if she was going to faint, it really wasn't the best thing to happen if she was going to faint. She looked up at him with her eyes wide, they looked into each other's eyes, staring, though he mentally hit himself for doing so.
"Its okay, Kyo-kun… I'm fine…" She trailed off, there she went again, it was only after she had a vision that she called him that. And again he was acting as if it was what she always called him.

"Is there something wrong with me?" About ten minutes after that, they were sitting down on a bench and Kagura was worried. "I keep thinking that I've missed important parts of my life. I've done so much lately, like met you but it's like I've already met you before… I tried to phone home and my mother wasn't there and Ellie, no everyone, seems like they're hiding something from me." She spoke, her eyes lowering, tears forming in the corners of them. She was upset and Kyo could tell as he placed his hand on her arm. He wished he could help her but would it hurt her if he told her? Would her memories come back and hurt her badly? Like the fact that her mother is now dead?

"I don't think there is anything wrong with you, Kagura." Kyo spoke honestly. "Maybe you're just tired and you think something is wrong. If memory suits me right then you had your exams at college, is it all the stress from that, maybe?" Kagura wondered, it was true, she had her exams… she had many exams but then she didn't finish them, because she had a reason… she wasn't up to doing them because of a family accident.
"Yes but something happened, something happened in the family that meant I couldn't finish them." But unfortunately no matter how much she thought of it, she couldn't remember what it was. "Yet why am I giving myself a headache over something that may not have even happened?" She asked with a smile as she looked to Kyo, though she gave a mock cough into her fist. That wasn't true, there was much more to it than that but somehow she didn't want to talk about it… she wanted to spend some time with Kyo and here she was talking about something she didn't even remember.

They walked out of the park, though it seemed as if they were leaving something there. IT didn't matter really about old memories, did it? When here they were making new ones… new memories that she didn't want to give up. Was it true, was she really falling for Kyo? She seemed to fall for him easily but wasn't she always good at having her emotions run raged? Yet he seemed just like her perfect guy, protective, strong, good-looking and he wasn't even heartless. Though was he interested in her? She didn't know but what she did know was that they were heading into a deserted area where there were no one around at all, and the area was full of an orchid of many different trees and the ground was full of soft soil.
"Where are we?"
"This is where I come to think." Kyo replied. "It's my sanctuary when I'm not up high. No one ever comes here." She smiled as it was a beautiful place and she wondered why it was that she knew something was going to happen here… something she wasn't going to expect. Kyo pulled her down towards a cherry blossom tree to which he held her under: "There's something I want to do." He told her, hoping maybe he could make her remember some of their memories if he did this.
"What- " Though she was cut off when his lips came down onto hers and she was shocked, really shocked but it felt right and her eyes closed as they kissed passionately.

"How sickening..." A female voice called out of the shadows. Kagura pulled away from Kyo as she didn't know what she was doing, how could she kiss someone she just met? But again who was this girl? The stranger walked out of the shadows, she was dressed in a black outfit, hiding most of her and it seemed to be like a samurai's outfit. Her long red hair was coming out from the back of her mask and was held up in a high ponytail… Kagura knew the hair… she knew the voice but she couldn't recognise who it was… Although next to female entered a cloaked man, he was standing even taller than the female. He was hidden in the shadows, it seemed like they followed him out and all that was seen were green eyes coming from the darkness of the hood. "Master, what will we do first?"
