Kyo, Momiji, Hatori (gotta love him) and Yuki poof into the room
Me: Hello!
Momiji: Hallo!
Yuki,
Hatori, Kyo: Um, where are we?
Me: In my authors notes of my story, Remembering the Past
Yuki: Uh huh. That makes no sense
Me: So on with the story!
She kept running, she knew where to go - Shishou's house. If there was one person that would take anyone at his doorstep it was him. Shishou would remember her and……. Kyo would be there. It was still morning, he would be at the dojo, but I was desperate, it would be the last place Akito would think of, Sohma property. And she wasn't going to an orphanage.
She was striving to find the way. She couldn't help but admit to herself, she was lost. "Ok, so this way or this way? Where did I even come from? Oh lord, am I even on Sohma land anymore?"
"Um, excuse me miss, are you lost?" A girl about 17, with long brown hair and eyes asked.
Mina jumped in surprise but quickly recovered from her scare. "Um, yes. I would like to know, am I on Sohma property? I'm Mina Sohma"
A Sohma! Such a beautiful person! I wonder if she knows about the zodiac….. "Ah nice to meet you Mina-san, I'm Tohru Honda. Uh right now we aren't exactly on Sohma property. Where are you trying to go to?"
Honda? Why is she her? She wouldn't know where but it can't hurt to ask. But her name seems familiar……. "Ah thank you, Honda-san. Would you know where Kazuma-san's house is?"
"Yes, Shishou-san's house is right around the corner! Would you like me to take you there? I was going to the grocery store so it's on my way!" Tohru exclaimed. (A/N: It probably is nowhere near the grocery store, but just go with me. She only needed a few vegetables, so Kyo and Yuki didn't come. And it's Sunday so no school)
"Thank you very much, Honda-san"
"No, it's no problem at all! Would you like to go to the dojo or to his house? He would probably at the dojo teaching right now though"
"Ok, to the dojo then" Mina was starting to like this girl.
They reached very quickly, considering they were quiet far. Mina was thinking sbout what she was going to do now. She would stay at Shishou's but what then? What about Akito? School? She couldn't stay away from Akito forever, but she could fight for her freedom. (A/N: She was being home schooled at the Sohma house)
"We're here!" Tohru said
The pair saw Shishou talking to two of his students. They soon finished talking, and Shishou dismissed them. "Honda-san, what brings you here today?" he said with a smile.
Befor Tohru could answer him Mina appeared beside her "Hello, Shishou. Long time no see."
"Mina?…… ….It has been a long time. How have you been? What brings you here--"
"I'd rather we talk about that later." Mina replied quickly.
"Um, ok, I'll be leaving now." Tohru said realising that she should give them some privacy.
"Stay for tea Honda-san. It would be rude." Shishou said kindly.
"Ah, no I have to buy vegetables. All we have is leeks." Shishou sweatdropped.
"Thank you for showing me the way Honda-san. I would be lost if it weren't for you." Mina said smiling.
"Oh no! It was no trouble at all." They all exchanged good-byes as she left, leaving just Kazuma and Mina.
"It seems so rude. I haven't served you any tea, please come in." Mina's stomach growled.
"I'd like some cookies with that." Kazuma chuckled as they headed home leaving Kunimitsu in charge.
When the tea was done she (Kazuma didn't make it, Mina had to) served it in a tray. "So like I was saying, how have you been? Not to mention where have you been?"
Mina sipped her tea, and started her story. She told him everything, it felt good to let it out. She hadn't kept very close to Akito. Basically she was locked up, fed, schooled, and basically everything else. But she was always lonely. Afraid that someone might remember, Akito had always kept her alone. Akito would rarely visit and she didn't allow those who did remember to visit her either. So, she broke out.
When she finished, Kazuma sighed. "I can make arrangements for you to live here. You can stay in Kyo's old room--"
"What do you mean? Kyo doesn't stay here anymore?"
"No, he stays at Shigure-san's house. Yuki and Honda-san live there as well. That girl has quiet an influence on everyone. Yuki and Kyo don't beat each other bloody everyday. …And Kyo's been a lot happier. She's really something to admire…. She's kept the curse a secret for almost three years now….The entire zodiac has met her, to put it bluntly they all love her. " Kazuma explained calmly, a smile tugging at his lips.
"Oh" was all Mina could say, dumbfounded. "Ok, what about school?"
"We'll get your admition tomorrow. And I could write in as your guardian. Akito won't think about you living here and he would hardly want you back. So not to worry"
"Alright, oh and Shishou, can I go visit Kyo tonight. I want to see if they have flashbacks. So I know who to avoid and stuff…."
Shishou looked doubtful but reluctantly gave her permission. Ah, the power of love. He thought
They talked until afternoon. And then had a delicious home cooked meal made by none other than great-chef-Mina-Sohma.

7:00 pm
Mina slowly walked towards the home of Shigure Sohma, the dog. She was given instructions so she couldn't get lost, but there were some weirdos prowling about. When she reached their house, she rang the doorbell. Tohru answered.
"Ah, Mina-san, what a nice surprise to see you again!" Tohru greeted. "Please come in"
"Thank you, please call me Mina. Is anyone else at home?"
As if on cue, Shigure came out of his study "Tooooohruuu, who's at the door? It's not Kagura is it? We just had the repairs done" stopped abruptly realizing it was Mina that was sitting on their sofa. His eyes widened in shock. "Mina? What brings you here? Does Akito want something?"
"Hello Shigure-san. No, I just thought I should visit. Is there anything wrong with that?" She said casually
"Uh, no, not at all" I should inform Akito but I must find out how the drama will unfold! Oooh, I'm excited! "I'll bring Yuki and Kyo down. They'll be happy to see you" he said with a knowing smile. This was all that Mina needed. By that he had confirmed that he would not tell Akito about her whereabouts.
"Kyo-kun, Yuki-kun! It seems that you have a guest. Hurry down, you wouldn't want to keep a lady waiting."
Yuki came down first and was puzzled to find her. "Hello Yuki, it's been a long time. Have you been keeping well?"
"Huh? Have we met before?"
A voice suddenly reached her ears. "Dammit, you perverted dog. So what if a lady comes to visit us. Huh?" Kyo mimicked Shigure when he said lady. Mina immediately recognized the voice.
Kyo
Me: Yay, I've finished 2 chapters. This one was really long huh?
Hatori: Not really
Yuki: Actually it was.
Me: Thank you. gives cheese to Yuki's ultimate displeasure
Kyo: Whatever.
Me: Please read and review! I only got one review last time by somegirl, so please review, it's very discouraging when people don't.
