Chapter 16- The Struggle with the Stranger

Kyo walked through he door and smelt the flower shampoo that Tohru used.

"Shigure you really are sick." He thought out loud.

He walked in the kitchen hearing someone running down the stairs. He turned around to yell at Shigure for using the last of Tohru's sent but lost his words when he saw the small, adorable face that haunted his dreams.

"Tohru!" he exclaimed. A smile grew on his face. She bowed her head and crumpled her hands in front of her. He loved the way she did that.

"Um… are you a friend of the Sohma's?" she asked.

Kyo felt his heart rip into millions of pieces.

"Ah… Tohru do you remember me?" Kyo desperately asked.

"Well no I think I hit my head and got amnesia, Shigure-san should be home soon. "Would you like to wait?" Tohru asked.

"No Tohru, it's me Kyo." He cried stepped forward.

Tohru looked up in surprise.

'Kyo?' she wondered. Her eyes fluttered up to his face.

"Kyo?" she asked. He's eyes gleamed and he got the same old shiver up his spine.

"Yeah Tohru. It's Kyo."

She glanced at the ring on her right hand, and looked at him for an answer. He smiled even bigger when she did.

"This is our ring." He said taking her hand. "It's our promise ring." He took it off her finger. "It's supposed to go on your left hand." He corrected and tried putting the band on her but she snatched away her hand.

"I'm sorry I don't know you. Maybe you should come back at a different time. I'll phone Shigure-san and find out when his coming back." Tohru said stepping back. "Please don't be insulted. I just can't remember you."

Kyo looked at her scared face.

'She's scared of me?' he wondered. 'No… she's frightened by a stranger.'

He felt his strength build and he stepped forward.

"Tohru I know this must be scary for you, but you know me." He said, and he lost control of the words coming out of his mouth. "We were in love Tohru. An unbreakable love. But Akito had a problem about that. He ordered Hatori to bury your memories. You said goodbye to all of us. In Akito's chamber." He said trying to make her remember. "I never seen you cry so much but at the same time you had a strength about you I couldn't help but envy."

"No stop please." Tohru pleaded. She tried walking away but Kyo gripped her wrist pulling her back.

"No listen to me."

"No, you're making it up."

"No, it happened Tohru. Please remember me. Remember me damn it!" He demanded. Tohru was crying now. She kept struggling with the crazed man holding on to her. She closed her eyes and some flashes came back. The crying faces, and hatred in Akito's eyes. Then flashes of this mans sad face wouldn't leave her mind.

"No please let go." She begged.

"Tohru just stop and listen." Kyo pulled her closer to him and kissed her hoping that would trigger something.

'I've done that before.' She realized when their lips touched and how calm it made her. 'But this is still wrong.'

"Ahhh!" Tohru yelled
