Disclaimer: I don't own fruits basket or its characters. I do own Rika and anything change etc.

Figured I would make this its own chapter since I skipped episode 18 because it was only about the Yuki fan club. This reveals everything! I'm sorry if I disappoint anyone with this. if you don't like it, It's my story and I'm not changing it.

A ten year old girl ran down a path and turned a corner almost bumping into a 14 year old boy.

"You're late..." He said.

"Sorry, I was hanging out with-."

"You're always hanging out with him." The boy crossed his arms and looked away. The girl giggled.

"Jealous?"

"What? Of course not!" The boy said looking back at her. The girl giggled some more.

"Don't worry, I love you too." The little girl said before going on her toes to kiss his cheek. His cheeks flushed and he looked away.

"Whatever." He mumbled. The girl laughed and tapped his shoulder.

"You're it!" She shouted before running away.

"Huh? W-wait! That's not fair! R-"

"Rika!"

"Huh?" Rika was at the Sohma estate on her way to Hatori's house when someone called her name. Rika looked over to see Akito walking over. "Akito." He smirked.

"What brings you here today, and without an escort?" He didn't mention that he saw her there the day before with Shigure.

"oh I-I'm here to see To-" she cleared her throat. "Hatori." His smirk faltered slightly.

"Are you feeling ill?"

"O-oh no I'm fine. Um... I'm just visiting."

"Maybe one day you'll come to visit me."

"Um..."

"I see you're wearing the hair pin." His smirk grew bigger and he reached up to touch it gently.

"O-oh yes. Thank you again." He looked at her a moment before lowering his hand.

"Well I shouldn't keep you any longer. Give my regards to Hatori. I'll see you later." He said before turning and walking away.

"Bye..." Rika stood there a minute then quickly made her way to Hatori's house. She knocked on the door. He opened the door and let her in.

"Tea?"

"No thank you, Tori." He nodded and led her to where he and Shigure had been the day before. "You promised to answer my questions today." He nodded and motioned for her to sit. She did and he sat across from her.

"Ask away."

"On my birthday... Why did you kiss me?" He chuckled.

"Had to start with that one didn't you?" He asked quietly. "I kissed you...because I wanted to." Rika frowned. "Now don't pout, I answered the question."

"Who is not letting you tell me anything?"

"Someone very important."

"Are you going to be vague with all your answers?"

"When I need to be."

"Why can I hug zodiac members?"

"I-... An accident."

"So it's not supposed to happen?"

"Not exactly."

"Tori."

"It's supposed to happen."

"Why?"

"Because it's you."

"That doesn't make any sense."

"Ask something else."

"Okay... Where did you find my panda?"

"I... Kept it..."

"So I did used to know you?"

"Yes."

"So that picture is of us." He nodded. "Is that why you called me Ri?" He nodded again.

"That's what I used to call you… and you called me Tori."

"Why don't I remember you?"

"Your memories…"

"Did you…"

"I'm sorry." He lowered his head.

"You… erased my memories? …Why?"

"I had to."

"Why?" After a moment Hatori looked up and looked at her.

The boy chased after the laughing girl. He stopped as she ran around a house. He smirked getting an idea and ran around the other side of the house. He waited for the girl to run around the corner with a big smirk. He heard her laughing growing louder until she rounded the corner. He was about to tag her it when she tripped over a rock. They both gasped and the boy reached out to catch her.

"Ri… I don't mean this in the way it sounds but… you're an accident."

"Excuse me?"

"Not in the way it sounds, your birth was planned I was talking about…" He sighed.

"Hatori you have to tell me." Hatori moved forward in his seat and reached up to stroke her head. "Why did you have to erase my memories?"

"Because he found out…"

The boy ran to a house and started to pound on the door. After a moment the door opened.

"You thought I wouldn't find out?!" The boy shouted. The man who answered the door swallowed and feigned innocence.

"I don't know what you're-"

"I saw it! I saw her!" The man now looked extremely nervous. "You can't keep things from me! You'll regret it!" The boy ran away and the man stared after him, shaking. The man called for his wife with a trembling voice.

"Hatori, who found out what?" Rika asked.

"There used to be a couple who here. They had a child and it was…"

"Was it okay?" He smiled.

"Yes the child was okay but…" Hatori took a breath. "You know how Kyo is the cat, technically not an animal of the zodiac."

"Yeah."

"Well the child was like Kyo."

"It could turn into a cat?"

"Not exactly." Rika tilted her head.

"Tori… I'm the child aren't I?" Hatori was silent.

The couple sat in their kitchen. The man held his wife's hands gently.

"You know what he'll do." She said.

"Maybe he-"

"Stop dreaming." She snapped. "It's over, he found out." Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Both flinched. The man stood, slowly letting his wife's hands go, before walking to the door. He stood there a moment and the knocking came again. The man's hand reached to the door with a trembling hand and he opened it.

"What happened to my parents?"

"Their memories were also erased… and they were kicked out of the estate."

"Then mine were erased." Hatori nodded.

"And you were put on the street."

"Does that mean I'm a Sohma?" Hatori nodded.

"Yes. You are Rika Sohma."

"And I'm technically not a member of the zodiac but… I am?" Hatori sighed.

"Yes."

"Who made you erase our memories?"

A man of 19 stood outside the couple's house.

"Please Ha-" The man tried.

"You know I can't." The other man said. "I don't want to do this but…It's Akito's orders."

"So… he knows?"

"Yes… everyone else memories of you were erased. Only he and I knew. I thought I would never see you again."

"Why did he…?"

"He felt as if you betrayed him. He thought you knew."

"Did I?"

"No, your parents kept it from you. You always were around me so it didn't matter."

"Right… it doesn't matter if I hug you…" Rika said. "What am I?"

"A lynx."

"A what?"

"Lynx. It's a feline."

"Like Kyo… how did…why-?"

"We don't know. When I found out I couldn't explain it. No one could. It shouldn't have happened."

"So… I'm a Sohma… and a lynx." Rika blinked. "Is that why he called me kitten?" She asked herself quietly.

"What? Who called you kitten?"

"Uh… o-on my birthday… Akito came to the school." Hatori frowned. "H-he gave me this hair pin." She reached up and touched the flower. "I was his friend too…" Hatori nodded.

"He didn't have your memory erased right away. I could tell he didn't want to at all."

"So… no one else knows, currently."

"No. No one. Only the two of us and Akito." Rika stood. Hatori looked up at her. She suddenly ran from the room.

"Rika!" She ran out of the house and away from the estate before running down the sidewalk.

Rika walked slowly to the house and went inside.

"Rika? Is that you?" Shigure walked into view. "Hatori called me a few minutes ago said you were over and suddenly ran off."

"I-I'm sorry." She said.

"Are you alright?" She dropped her school back and her knees suddenly buckled. "Whoa!" Shigure moved forward and caught her. "Rika?" She slumped against him. "Rika?" He put his hand on her forehead. "Oh my- You're burning up!"

"I'm fine… I don't get sick…"

"Come on, let's get you to bed."

"I'm fine Shigure." Shigure lifted her up and held her bridal style. Yuki walked into the hallway.

"Shigure? What's wrong?" He looked at Rika concerned.

"She's got a fever. Call Hatori, would you, while I put her to bed."

"Of course." Shigure carried Rika to his room and laid her down on the bed before covering her with the blanket. He stroked her head and she opened her eyes weakly.

"What happened?" He asked. She looked up at him. "You've never gotten sick before, did something happen?" She shook her head slowly.

"It's nothing." She said.

"It must have been something." He sat on the bed.

"It's nothing and I'm fine." She said trying to sit up. Yuki walked in the room followed by Tohru and Kyo.

"Hatori's on his way." Yuki said.

"You should lay down." Shigure said.

"I'm fine." Rika went to get up when a wave of dizziness washed over her and as she fell back against the pillows there was a puff of smoke.

The four stood in shock and stared at the little yellow lynx that lay under the covers of Shigure's bed.

"Rika?!" Tohru started freaking out.

"What the hell!?" Kyo shouted. Suddenly Kyo and Yuki were pushed out of the way by Hatori.

"Hari you got here fast." Shigure said. Hatori nodded.

"Hatori what happened to her why is she-?" Yuki asked. Hatori sighed. Lynx Rika looked up at him. He frowned and stroked her head.

"Let me explain." Hatori said.

14 year old Akito frowned as he watched 10 year old Rika walk into her house. A few minutes later he felt tears – which he wiped away immediately – prick his eyes as 19 year old Hatori carried her out. Her head was limb, hanging back over Hatori's arm. As Hatori walked by he shot Akito a glare. Akito stood straight and kept a straight face as Hatori walked out of the Sohma estate, taking his best friend – who he thought he'd never see again – with him.

Just saying I will not clarify if the last sentence means Akito's best friend or Hatori's.

So everything is revealed, if you don't like it I don't really care. It's my story and I'm not changing it. The next chapter after this will be episode 23 (22 is about a Yuki fan club girl.)

Hey, Who wants more flashbacks with cute, funny or touching scenes with Rika from like ages 5-10 and the others who at that current time still remember/ know her. If you have an idea for one just PM me.
