Sora: Hi there, again! Hope you all didn't miss me too much! (awkward silence) yyeeeaaahhh…… anyway, I've had reviewers saying I need to make my chapters longer. I'm apologize, but I'm not that good at making long chapters… I really try to though. I'll make up for the shortness of chapters by trying to put as many chapters up as I can. Anyway, thanks to all my reviewers! I'm really glad you like my story. I guess you want to get started with the chapter right? Well here ya go!

Chap. 3 – Ari

Tohru jumped from the impact. The girl, Ari, was looking at her through her velvet hair, with an angry look in her eyes, tears steaming down her bruised cheeks. "Give me my locket," she said, in a dangerous tone. "I- I'm sorry," exclaimed Tohru, "If it makes you feel any better, I didn't open it." Ari snatched the locket away and put it around her neck, wiping her eyes afterwards. "It doesn't matter, I haven't been able to open it anyway." They sat in silence for a few minutes, until Ari broke the silence, "Why… the hell… am I wearing girly clothes?" "Sorry, um… the only other clothes in the house are well, for men." Ari thought for a moment, "That'll be fine." Tohru left the room to go fetch some clothes.

'So,' thought Ari, 'that's Tohru… Akito was wrong about her.' Ari sighed heavily, 'My memory is beginning to come back… stronger than before.'

Flashback

"Hey Ari," called a boy. "Hey," said Ari, waving and smiling to her brother. Ari and her brother just so happened to be twins; she had black hair, purple eyes, while her brother had orange hair and crimson eyes.

"Ari," said her brother, running towards his sister. "What's wrong," she exclaimed, seeing the frightened look on his face. "Hatori, he's coming," he said, "he's been ordered to take you away!" Ari began to panic; she didn't know what to do. Her brother grabbed her hand and they ran as far as they could. They reached the large doors leading to the 'outside.'

Just as they were about to open the doors, someone grabbed Ari. "Hatori-san, what are you doing," she cried, struggling to get free from his firm grip, "Please, let me go!" Hatori looked at her, a saddened expression formed on his face. "I'm sorry Ari-san, but Akito-san's orders were for you to have your memory erased." She stared at him in disbelief; she couldn't believe what she was hearing. Shigure, who also had a sad expression on his normally cheerful face, was holding her brother back. Ari stood there; crying.

She didn't want to forget all of the fun memories of her brother. She even didn't want to forget that day; the day she saw his 'other' form. "Damn you, Shigure, let me go," he yelled in a fit of rage. He thrashed and kicked until Shigure couldn't hold on to him any longer. He ran towards his sister and hugged her.

"Don't you dare forget me," he whispered, "we will be together again; do you understand me?" Ari cried into her brother's shoulder, "I SWEAR, I won't forget you." Her brother reached into his pocket and placed a heart-shaped necklace around her neck. "I was going to give this to you one your birthday," he said, "but I guess now is the time to give it to you."

Then, without warning, her brother grabbed Hatori's hand and forced it onto Ari's eyes. There was a flash of white light and she lay unconscious on the ground.

Flashback

Tohru walked back into the room, "Sorry I took so long," she said, "Here's some clothes." Ari took the pair of black baggy pants and gray hoodie from Tohru. "Arigato… Tohru-san," she said as she left the room, leaving Tohru to stand alone in her bedroom, with a confused expression on her face.

End of Chap. 3

Sora: Well, I hope this is longer for most of my readers. I liked this chapter a bit… there might be more in the future that I'll really like as well. By the way, when you review (please do review) I want you to try to guess who Ari's brother is. Though it's kind of obvious. (shrugs) oh well… Anyway, just review and stay tuned for the next chapter.

Gotta fly! Sora-chan!
