Kitsune roughly wiped the tears from her midnight blue eyes. 'Kyo, you stupid, arrogant cat!' she thought as she started walking faster. 'I knew I shouldn't have come back.' Kitsune quickly grabbed her head and her knees started to buckle.

"Heh, you thought you could see them again, didn't you? You ignorant girl!" A very pale young man stepped out of the shadows, his dark hair covering one side of his face and a cruel smile on his lips.

"Akito-san… you bastard." Kitsune seethed glaring up at the head of the Sohma family. Akito's smile widened slightly. "Heh, come to torture me some more, I suppose?" Akito nodded slightly and started laughing manically.

"You're smarter than I gave you credit for." Kitsune smiled up at Akito. "What are you smiling about?" He asked menacingly, Kitsune shook her head still smiling.

"Nothing, it's nice to see you again, Tori-san." Kitsune bowed to Hatori, who was standing behind Akito. Hatori returned the bow slightly. "Well, shall we get this over with? I've got more important things to do than hang around with you, Akito-san. No offense of course." Akito sneered at Kitsune.

"My, you are insolent, aren't you?" Akito said, his eyes growing colder and more menacing. "We'll have to change that right now. Hatori, erase all of memories right now!" Hatori nodded and stepped forward hesitantly.

"Why do you have to challenge him?" Hatori whispered to Kitsune as he knelt in front of her. Kitsune shrugged nonchalantly. "How can you just shrug?" Hatori asked, again Kitsune shrugged nonchalantly.

"Because, Hatori… I don't care anymore… I'm tired of fighting." Kitsune confessed, her eyes filling with tears again. "Please, Ha'ri… please erase my memory of you and Kyo…. Please…" she begged as she took his hands in her own.

Hatori shook his head. "No… I can't do it." Akito looked at Hatori in shock as did Kitsune. "I won't do it." Akito grabbed Hatori roughly by the shoulder and pulled him close.

"What do you mean 'you won't do it'? I order you to erase her memories NOW!" Akito screamed in Hatori's face. Kitsune sank to her knees and started sobbing. "Look at what you're doing to her Hatori! She's crying because of you, just like Kana!" A pained looked appeared on Hatori's face at the mention of Kana his only love.

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Just life has been really hectic and stressful! Plus, I sorta have writer's block.

As soon as I calm down and sit down at the computer, I should be able to punch out the next chapter and I'll make it a long one to make up for the time, ok?

See, ya'll later!

Love,

Sarah
