Tohru's mind was whirling with everything that Kazuma had said to her. Kyo had been helping but Tohru just wasn't a fighter. Kazuma said it was because she was holding back but how could she not when she didn't even want to fight in the first place?

Tohru brushed a piece of her brown hair behind her ear as Kazuma continued to instruct her. Kyo was glaring in the opposite direction his fierce orange eyes had not looked upon Kazuma the entire session, he hadn't forgiven him for even teaching Tohru.

Just then a car could be heard pulling up to the dojo. Kazuma and Kyo's heads whipped around wondering who it could possibly be.

"Are you ok?" Kyo asked suddenly.

Tohru looked around Kazuma had disappeared to see who had just arrived. Brightly she smiled.
"Yes, its been a whole lot of fun. I never thought there was so much to learn" she laughed. Kyo allowed himself a little smile. Tohru always looked on the brighter side of things.

Kazuma re-appeared and began ushering the other students out of the room. Kyo turned to him for the first time that day. "Um….Master?" he asked. Kazuma looked around at him, that was the first time he had spoken to him. "You too Kyo" Kazuma replied. Kazuma was looking past Kyo and past Tohru to the doorway.
"Oh Hi Hatori hi Shigure" Tohru smiled.
"What the Hell!" Kyo began angrily.

Hatori stepped into the room seeming to be studying Kyo. Shigure stepped in after him, looking serious. Hatori wasn't going to bring him but the dog always seemed to know when to be at the main house.
"I'd like to speak to Tohru alone if I may" the doctor said calmly. Kyo immediately began protesting but Kazuma managed to usher him from the room.

"Hatori?" Tohru asked after several minutes of un-easy silence. Shigure was quiet
"Akito has sent me here, to erase your memory" Hatori said bluntly. Tohru's eyes widened in shock. "This will not hurt you it's something like hypnotism" Hatori began his hands in his pockets. Tohru stared at the floor, her shock sinking deeper.

Footsteps.

Hatori was stood in front of her, looking at her expectantly. Tohru stared back for a moment or two. "o…okay" she muttered. Hatori raised his hand "Wait, Hatori" Tohru began. Hatori hesitated. "Will I ever see any of you again?" Tohru asked
"It is unlikely" Hatori replied truthfully.
"But Yuki, Kyo and Shigure. You and the other's I'll never see any of you again?" she asked.

"No" Shigure said. His voice dark and his eyes averted from everyone in the room. The last time Tohru had seen him like this was when she had found out Kyo's true form. It was then when Shigure's eyes had grown dark and his soul dampened, it was happening now.

"I understand, if it's Akito's orders" Tohru said to him, her eyes brimming with tears. "I've had such a wonderful time with the Soma's I guess Akito thinks he cant trust me anymore or…"
"No." Shigure interrupted. "This isn't Akito's orders"
"Shigure" Hatori warned calmly stepping away from Tohru his hand dropping.

"Were doing this for your own good" Shigure continued "Its not as though we want you to leave, but its dangerous for you now Tohru. We, that is to say, Hatori, Ayame and Kazuma all decided this would be best for you" Shigure said. "I decided that it wouldn't be best for you, yet here Hatori is" Shigure's eyes narrowed at his friend.

Again an uneasy silence fell on the scene Tohru was almost shaking, she didn't want her memories erased but what could she do. "I understand" she said softly. "I understand if you feel that way, if you want, you can erase my memory"

"Is that really what you want Tohru?" Shigure asked his gaze finally lifting from the floor to look at her, true she looked scared but he could also see acceptance and he did not see hate or disgust towards him as he feared.

"No, but I don't want you to have to worry about me. I'm fine really" Tohru smiled "I wouldn't want to have missed any of the time I spent with you. And I have never wished I had never known you and I don't now. You have all been so good to me. I just don't want to cause any more trouble for you" Tohru said

"Tohru…" Shigure hung his head then walking towards Tohru he smiled slightly. It was a sad smile but if Tohru could accept it, then so could he. "I'll miss you" he said before he hugged her. Tohru was slightly shocked but sort of glad. Shigure had become something like a brotherly figure for her.

"Are you ready?" Hatori asked. When Shigure had moved he lifted a slightly shaking hand and covered Tohru's eyes. Shigure turned away from the scene his eyes beginning to grow hot with tears. Hatori concentrated but found he couldn't, when he had calmed himself he tried once more. He could feel the power building within him and then he saw a single tear slide down Tohru's cheek.
"I'm sorry" he said before he let the power go through his hand. There was a flash of light and Tohru fell backwards. Hatori watched it as if in slow motion.

Shigure turned back round and saw Tohru laying on the floor her brown hair spread around her head her mouth slightly open and her eyes closed. Shigure sighed and hung his head again. Shigure turned to leave.

"Shigure" Hatori's voice cut through stopping him in his tracks. "take her back to your place. If she wakes up, which is unlikely, tell her something…anything. Just not the truth" he said carefully his hands back in his pockets his face turned to the wall. "I can drive you" he finished and turned around walking out of the Dojo.

Shigure watched him go his eyes narrowed, nothing would be the same between them, not ever.

"Its not his fault" a voice came. Shigure turned around to look at Kazuma "or mine" he added as Shigure pierced him with the same death-look. "We were right in doing this Shigure. I hope you know that" he said softly and turning back to the door. A moment later Kyo appeared still looking angry at being kicked from the room.

"What the hell is going on?" he asked looking at Shigure, then as he saw Tohru laying on the floor his face turned from red to white. "Tohru…" he said softly kneeling next to her. When she didn't respond he looked up at Shigure his face angry again. "What the fuck did you do?" he hissed standing up. Shigure remained silent. It was at that moment Hatori made an appearance.

"Are you coming?" he asked Shigure. Kyo had him against the wall by the scruff of his neck in an instant. Hatori remained as calm as ever even though he was shocked by the situation.

"What did you do!" Kyo demanded heatedly his face turning redder by the minute his anger growing by the second. His grip tightened on the front of Hatori's clothes, the doctor remained calm much to Kyo's annoyance.

"Nothing" Hatori said quietly "Miss. Honda simply feinted" he lied. Kyo wasn't having any of it. Ragging the doctor from the wall he threw him to the floor still clutching the front of his coat.

"Don't give me any of that bullshit!" he yelled. "I'm not stupid. I've seen this before, I know what you did. Now SAY IT!" he yelled. Shigure stood motionless while Kazuma was trying to pry Kyo away from Hatori.

"I…" Hatori began as he looked Kyo in the eye. "I erased Tohru's memory. I erased the whole Soma family and the curse" he said calmly his eyes locking with Kyo's angry one's. Kyo's grip loosened and he stumbled backwards onto the floor his eyes wide. Shock clear on his face. They had taken her away from him…his Tohru.
