Well, I'm an idiot. If you read the last chapter, then you'll noticed I forgot two important things. Kagura's appearance and when Tohru leaves and then comes back. I completely spaced out on those two events when I wrote chapter 2. I promise those will show up. I'm so sorry! Also, sorry for the short chapter. I like ending in cliffhangers, so I ended it like this.
The next day, Tohru wasn't at the house. "Where did she go?" Sora asked.
"Don't you remember her saying that she wasn't going to be here?" Shigure asked. Oh yeah… Sora had forgotten about that. Kyo and Yuki were watching TV, looking bored. Yuki perked up when he saw Sora.
"Hello Sora." He said cheerfully.
"Hi!"
"Sora, can we talk alone?" Shigure asked. Sora nodded and they walked off. Yuki started to follow them.
"Hey," Kyo said as Yuki started to leave the room. "Shigure obviously doesn't want you to go. Stay here."
"He's been keeping something from me. I know it. And I don't have to do anything you want me to do." Yuki snapped.
"Fine, whatever," Kyo said angrily.
When they were outside, Shigure looked around at the scenery. "Sora, I think you're a nice girl. Yuki does too, and he may even be in love." Shigure turned to Sora. "That's why I have to do this."
"Do what?"
"If I don't… I…" Shigure had a confused look on his face, like he didn't know what to say "I lied to you and Tohru. Akito wanted me to erase one of the girl's memories." Sora sighed.
"You chose me."
"Don't take it the wrong way!" Shigure said quickly. "I gave you time. I would have made you lose them before the festival."
"It doesn't matter though. I'm still going to lose all the memories I hold close."
"That's true." Shigure looked deeply saddened. "Hatori has the power to erase memories. He is coming over today. Tohru went over there, and she'll come back with him. That gives you a couple hours." Shigure walked away, leaving Sora alone. She fell to the ground. She was going to lose everything, and everybody, including Yuki.
"Sora!" Yuki cried out as he ran up to her. Sora saw tears in his eyes. "I heard every word. Sora… I'm so sorry! If I could do something, I would!"
"Yuki, I'm glad it's me." Yuki looked at Sora in surprise. "If it hadn't been me, it would have been Tohru. I don't want Tohru to have to go back to leaving in a tent, forgetting all the memorable experiences she has had. It wouldn't be right."
"But, you know she'll go back to her Grandfather's."
"Yes, but who knows when she'll go back? Maybe not for a long time… so it's better that my memories are erased." Yuki looked shocked. He quickly leaned in and hugged her, immediately turning into a rat.
"I promise you'll never leave my memories Sora." He said, tears running down his cheeks. Sora started to cry too.
"Thank you." She said between tears. "Thank you."
When Tohru and Hatori came back, her heart sank to the very bottom. Tohru walked in, and she looked sad. So she knew. Sora wished she could disappear. Shigure motioned to the door and Sora got up. She walked outside and saw Hatori and Shigure coming after her. "I'm sorry our second meeting had to be like this." Hatori said quietly.
"I'm watching." Yuki said. He was standing in the doorway.
"Yuki I…" Shigure began. However, Yuki stopped him with a glare. Hatori walked over to Sora.
"Sit down." Sora sat down on the grass. Hatori sat down next to her. "Only look at me please." Obediently, she looked directly at his eyes. He put his hand on her face.
"Goodbye Yuki." Sora whispered. Even though she had said it quietly, Yuki still heard it. He choked back a sob.
"I'm going to miss you," said Yuki. Then everything went black.
