Chapter 17- What Could Happen?
Yuki called home after the moment with Tohru.
'She remembers me.' He thought as he waited outside for Hatori and Shigure.
A few kids run into the building late for class.
'She doesn't remember what happened with Akito and that her memories were taken. And if she could remember Kyo then he would be the first to know she remembers again.' He realized. 'She doesn't remember Kyo.'
Hatori's car pulled in the parking lot and Yuki got in.
"Yuki dear what's wrong? Are you not feeling well?" Shigure called reaching for his head to kiss him.
"Stop I'm fine but I got some news." Yuki said after the small struggle with Shigure.
Yuki bleed out the events that happened. Everyone stayed quiet until he finished.
"And she doesn't have any after school activities today." Shigure added. " She's probably already home."
"Why would that be a problem?" Yuki asked.
"What if Kyo came home early today?" Shigure answered.
And at that note Hatori speed up slightly.
"I'm really worried about Tohru. Yuki if what you say is true, that she remembers you, then we have a serious problem." Shigure said in the car ride home.
"Why is that a problem?" Yuki asked.
"Because you also said that she didn't remember Kyo. And because of that, Kyo will be our problem." Shigure answered.
"I buried her memories deep. Make no mistake about that. All thought I didn't want to do it I did it. There must have been a trigger. Something that spiked the memories." Hatori said. He stopped the car at a red light. "And if she remembers the curse will end."
"Hatori, what are you saying?" Shigure asked.
"Because Kyo loves her so and she returns the love, even his other form, that could've broken the curse by itself. But I thought that possibility was gone when I buried her memories. But if she remembers us and Kyo the curse will end." Hatori said.
The light turned green and Hatori continued to drive. The three in the vehicle remained quiet for several moments pondering this possibility.
"And if she never remembers Kyo?" Yuki asked.
"Then I will have to bury her memories again. This time so deep she will forget everything. Including her friends, her name, her mom, everything." Hatori said.
He pulled the car up the rode to the Shigure's house.
"Wait what are you saying?" Shigure said.
"Stop asking me that." Hatori demanded.
Yuki looked out the window. A part of him wanted Tohru to never remember Kyo. But another part wanted her to remember him so the curse would end. And a small part of him wanted Kyo and Tohru to be happy together. Hot tears built in his eyes. He just swallowed them back. Hatori parked the car in front of the house.
"How are we going to battle this?" Shigure asked.
"We are going to seat her down and see how much she really does remembers." Hatori answered.
They got out of the car. Hatori started walking up to the door. When he realized that Shigure and Yuki stayed by the car he turned around.
"Come on." He said a little annoyed.
"Hatori, what if she doesn't remember me?" Shigure wondered. Tears fell from his eyes. "What if Yuki is the only one?"
"I don't know. But we'll never know if we just stay outside and never go talk to her." Hatori said.
"Okay, you're right." Shigure sobbed.
They started to walk to the door.
"No please let go!" they heard someone yell.
"That sounded like miss Honda." Yuki cried.
"Ahhh!"
And at that yell they ran in the house.
Yay! Another chapter. I cliff-ed it a little. Hehe. I'll continue don't worry. And I'm sorry it's crazy short. But what else can I say without giving away the ending or ending it in a cliff? Just wait for the next chapter. You'll flip.
