:She began tossing and turning: "Papa don't go. I love you. Why didn't you stay? Don't go again...I'm sorry. Is it me?"

"It's not you," Hatori spoke attempting to help her but he didn't understand how, "I don't know what happened but I can't believe that..." he looked down. I'm acting as if I'm this child's parent.

She's no part of my life. She's just a young girl, she shouldn't have significance to me...it's just I can remember pieces of her. No I'm a doctor, only novelists and fashion designers, foolish people like that should think that.

:She woke up and started coughing:

Hatori walked over to the kitchen area before returning with a glass of water and handed it to her, "Here..." he tried a little gentler than usual, "Drink this."

:She took it and drank it:The young girl began looking around her trying to focus: I don't understand. Where am I? How did I get here?

Hatori checked her forehead, "You're hot, do you need any medication?" He paused before finding the door opening behind him and then looked around.

"Hari..." a voice called and Hatori bowed his head, "Hey...who's this?"

"I don't know," she spoke in a raspy voice. Who is this man? He seems to be ok. He's taking care of me. He reminds me of Papa. I shouldn't cry. Please don't cry.

Hatori paused as he heard the voice, things seemed to come from her to be chilling, it was scary how could she speak in a manner that could haunt him, "How did you find your way here?"

"I'm Momiji Sohma..." Momiji spoke energetically as he introduced himself, "And this," he gestured towards the dragon who was attempting to help the girl once again, "Is...Doctor Ha'ri Sohma."

"Doctor Hatori Sohma..." Hatori spoke again before finding the girl caught off by the name, "Do you..." he tried looking at her uncomfortably, "Do you know me?" Why am I even asking this? She's a child and I'm not a babysitter.

"I am not sure. I don't member much."

"See Ha'ri stop picking on her! Do you want to see my room...how about if we make up a name for you for now? Tell me, what's your favorite fruit?"


"Nice to meet you. I know my name."

"You should have asked her that Momiji," Hatori sighed and then looked at the girl, "If you know your name it might help us to track down your past..."
"And your family, now, if you'd tell me it..."

"Spoil sport" Momiji whined as he looked at Hatori turning to the girl, "You should have given her a fun name...it's not like you're her father you know,"

"My name is Kaida Akairo."

"Akairo..." he tried and then smiled peacefully, "It's strange that someone with no connection to the Sohma family would be here..."Kaida, do you remember your mother's name?"

"Or your father's?"

"Ha'ri..." Momiji sighed a little bored, "You know that if you act like this you're just going to scare her away and we won't be able to keep her."

:Looks down: I don't know papa's name. I never really knew him. Mama didn't really talk about him."

"And Mama...

"Oh did Papa get his memory erased?" Momiji asked attempting to figure out just what Kaida meant by this and Hatori paused looking at him.

"She's...gone now."

"You mean that she died," Hatori asked and then looked down, "Sorry for my directness but it's necessary to know, was there a name on the tombstone to your recollection?"

:Blinks:
"Papa didn't have his memory erased. He just didn't know. I think…I dunno. Mama didn't say much."

"Ha'ri how can you ask that so directly?"

"Kaida...do you know anyone who transfers into an animal?" he winked before Hatori took a deep glare at him, "I mean the memories must be coming back..."

"Animals...
"I didn't have any family. Well, Mama didn't talk to them. I don't know about them."
"And course I don't know bout papa's.

"Well sleep here tonight...I'll have words with Akito tomorrow and we'll figure out what to do. Do you have any knowledge of your father at all? Perhaps a photograph?"

"Well there was this one..."

"Oh that would be really fun if you're father was alive right Kaida-chan," Momiji encouraged seeing Hatori trying his best to help this young girl who might as well be an orphan.

"O k."

"Could I see it?"

"It's a dwawing,"

"I don't think it's technically possible to tell who your..." Hatori started but was cut off by Momiji

"That's excellent; drawings are always so much fun to look at."

"I dwew it. Not mommy. So it's not good."

"That's alright" Momiji spoke attempting to encourage Kaida to show him the picture she had drawn.

:She took it out of her shirt and handed it to Momiji:

"Please be careful."

"Wow this is wonderful. Your dad's hair is blue this makes it so much easier to find him."

"I just used make up colors."

"Look Ha'ri," Momiji commented looking at him and then paused as he held the picture next to him. "This...picture it looks just like..."
