ukitakeitalialover041757: Aww thank you ^_^
Shigure, Tohru, Kyo and Yuki all stared at Hatori. They were all sitting at the table while Rika was still asleep in Shigure's bed.
"She's a Sohma?" Yuki asked, breaking the silence. Hatori nodded.
"When Akito found out she was curse, along with being confused, he felt betrayed by her. They were actually good friends. He'd get jealous whenever she played with any of the other children or me, Shigure or Ayame."
"I knew her too?" Shigure asked.
"Yes. She would visit the three of us and bother the heck out of you." Hatori added with a slight chuckle.
"So we knew her as well… you erased everyone's memories but Akito's."
"And my own of course. I had to."
"Why the hell did he kick her out if they had been such good friends?" Kyo asked.
"I already told you; he felt betrayed. He thought she knew when she didn't. He had her removed from the Sohma estate for, as he put it then, her own protection. I believe he thought if people found out she would be treated like-"
"Like I was?" Kyo asked.
"Precisely; you're both technically not part of the zodiac."
"Least I'm in the damn story." Kyo said. "What's the deal with her being a Lynx though?"
"I'm still not quite sure on that."
"Are you going to tell anyone else?" Shigure asked.
"Would Akito make you erase everyone's memories again?" Tohru asked before Hatori could answer.
"That, I'm certain, won't happen. Akito is very relieved to have 'found' her again after so long."
"What made Rika get sick?" Tohru asked.
"It was a lot to take in all at once. She's just stressed. She should be fine after some rest."
"Will you tell the rest of the zodiac members?" Tohru asked.
"They do, technically, have the right to know. I'll inform Hatsuharu, Momiji, Kisa and Hiro and the others if I can contact them."
"Would it be possible to not tell Kagura? It would just give her an excuse to come here." Kyo said.
"You need to learn to work that out yourself, Kyo." Shigure said.
"Shut up." Kyo mumbled.
"Rika's gunna be okay right?" Tohru asked.
"She may be a bit out of it; after all we can assume this is only her third time transforming. Other than that she'll be fine." Hatori said standing. "I'd better get back. Don't be surprised if Momiji shows up within the hour." Kyo groaned in annoyance. Shigure got up and walked with Hatori to the door. When they reached the door Hatori stopped him. "I thought you should know, seeing as how you've taken an interest in Rika," Hatori said quietly. "that Akito is… paying more attention. According to her he showed up at the school on her birthday to give her that hair pin." Shigure nodded. Hatori turned to the door then stopped ad turned his head back to Shigure. "Also now that it's out, to Rika I was like a big brother and she was also like my little sister. You hurt her-"
"Don't worry, Hari." Shigure said seriously. "I wouldn't dare." They held eye contact for a moment and Hatori nodded before leaving.
A week later
Tohru and Rika were walking home from school.
"How are you feeling?" Tohru asked.
"Tohru, I'm fine, stop asking please."
"I'm sorry."
"I know you're worried but really I'm fine." Tohru nodded. They continued walking in silence when suddenly there heard a scream. They looked over and saw someone in a purple kimono, with long orange hair, holding a paper bag. The bottom had ripped open, spilling the contents of books onto the ground.
"Oh my bag. My bag is torn." The person said in a whimper. Tohru and Rika ran over and started to pick up the books.
"Here let us help you with that."
"No please, you don't have to; I don't want to put you to any trouble."
"It's okay, I don't mind at all. I'm happy to help.
"I am so so sorry. I can't seem to go anywhere without causing problems for everyone around me. I'm just a born trouble maker I supposed. It's true; I'm so worthless I can't even carry a paper bag. I don't deserve to share the same air with the rest of the human race. I'm a blemish on the face of the world. What was I thinking? A low-life like me should never have come to visit Shigure." Suddenly the person started screaming. "I'm sorry! I apologize to the world! To the whole universe! I'm sorry I came here today!"
"Is your name Ritsu, by any chance?" Rika asked. Ritsu looked at her a moment before freaking out again.
"My reputation precedes me! I'm so infamous that even a complete stranger knows my name! I'm such a terrible person! I'm sorry! I'm sorry world! I apologize to all the people who are forced o share the same name as me."
"Um."
"I beg of you please forgive me."
Tohru, Rika, Ritsu and Shigure were all sitting at the table. Shigure opened a paper fan.
"My, this is unexpected." Shigure said. "The ever timid Ritsu has decided to venture out and pay me a visit."
"Oh yes I- I'm sorry for all the trouble I caused Tohru and Rika in front of the house."
"Oh no please it was no trouble." Tohru said. "I'm just happy to have finally gotten a chance to meet you."
"You are?"
"Yes, and you seem like a really sweet girl."
"Um Tohru…" Rika said
"You remind me so much of your mother from the first instant I saw you I knew right away who you were." Tohru said. Shigure closed the fan.
"By the way Ritsu, why is it you're here exactly?" He asked. Ritsu gasped.
"I'm sorry; I'm not keeping you from anything am I?"
"Mhm." Ritsu freaked out and tried to run away but Shigure held him back.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! Forgive me! Forgive me!"
"There, there settle down. I was just kidding. You really are just like your mother. You know you'll be all grown up soon. You're going to have to learn to hold yourself together if you want to make it on your own."
"Yes, I'm sorry. Oh but where are my manners I never properly introduced myself." Ritsu bowed. "I'm Ritsu Sohma and I'm sorry about earlier.
"Oh no it's okay I'm Tohru Honda, it's very nice to meet you." Tohru said bowing. Rika bowed as well.
"I'm Rika…" Rika said still not used to calling herself a Sohma she left it out. Plus she figured Hatori had told Ritsu.
"I almost forgot. I have something I wanted to give you." Ritsu put the books he was carrying on the table.
"Oh what's this, presents?" Shigure asked.
"Yes. I was going to bring a fruits basket but then I really didn't know what kind everyone liked so I brought some fruit books instead." Ritsu flinched as an Anime vein appeared on Shigure's head. "I'm sorry do you not like them."
"No, they're just fine." Ritsu started to freak out and tried to run again but Shigure held him back again.
"I'm so sorry I'm such a terrible guest! I'll go buy some fruit right away. I don't know what I was thinking!"
"Kidding! Kidding!" Shigure said in sing song. Ritsu put his head on the table.
"It's all right, you don't have to pretend. You can tell me the truth. I know, I'm not worthy of visiting your house."
"No that's not true at all." Shigure said looking at the books.
"No it's not, like I said I've been wanting to meet you for a long time now." Tohru said. "I'm glad you're here, really I am, it's made me very happy to finally talk to you." Ritsu lifted his head.
"Thank you, you're very kind to say that. Actually I've been looking forward to meeting you too. Ever since I heard about you from my mother." Ritsu covered his face.
"Well then I guess we both have something to be happy about." Tohru said.
"Do we have a visitor?" Yuki asked walking into view.
"It's been a long time Yuki, sorry for dropping by unexpectedly."
"You haven't changed, especially the way you dress." Yuki said.
"I'm sorry! Forgive me!" Ritsu shouted grabbing the front of the kimono. "I'll out on something else right away!" Suddenly Shigure poked Ritsu with his fan and he fell to the ground.
"Ritsu, are you okay?" Tohru asked.
"uh-huh."
"Well, in that case why don't I go make some tea?"
"Thank you very much."
"Try to be nice Yuki." Shigure said. "It took Ri a lot of courage to visit us today. And for a very noble cause I might add. You came all the way here just to meet Tohru and Rika, isn't that right?"
"Mhm." Ritsu nodded.
"I guess it has been a while." Yuki said. "I saw your mother a few months ago at the hot spring. Anyway how've you been?"
"Oh I've been alright. How long has it been? I don't even remember, but you seem to be doing well. It's amazing; since I saw you last you've gotten to look even more like your brother." Yuki turned away darkly.
"Well goodbye then."
"Oh! what?! What did I do?! Did I say something wrong?! Oh, I've offended him I shouldn't be allowed to speak every time I open my mouth I make everyone around me uncomfortable!"
"Hmm, well that is true." Shigure said.
"Oh you're right! I'm the most annoying person in the world! I'm sorry I bothered you I'll leave right now!" He got on his knees and held his hands up together. "Forgive me I should have never stayed so long!"
"Wait, don't leave yet, I mean you just got here and you came all this way and everything. Besides I still have to serve you your tea." Tohru said walking into view holding a tray.
"No please," Ritsu said walking over. "Don't bother yourself over me. I'm not worth-."
"Sure you are and it's no bother at all. Actually it's my pleasure, stay a while."
"You've already given me enough with your kind words L couldn't possible let you to do anything else for me."
"No really, I want to."
"No really, you don't have to." Ritsu said moving closer, Tohru moved back and a tea cup fell off the tray and hit the ground, shattering.
"Oh no."
"Miss. Honda, are you okay?" Yuki asked as he, Rika and Shigure went over to her.
"Yes I'm fine but- but what about Ritsu?" The four looked over to see Ritsu kneeling on the ground before he started screaming again.
"GAAAH! What have I done!? What sort of low-life am I to destroy my host's property?!"
"Um I think… it was my fault." Tohru said.
"I'M SORRY! I apologize for being such a terrible guest! I'll apologize to the entire universe!" Suddenly Ritsu stepped near the broken shards.
"Ritsu watch out!" Tohru said going to push him back. The universe must have counted that as a hug for Ritsu proceeded to transform. "Huh? Uh, why did uh- Why did she transform? I mean uh.. she's a girl and..?" Tohru got utterly confused.
"Oh my god he is so adorable!" Rika said picking him up. Tohru raised her hand to her head and Ritsu saw it was bleeding.
"Blood! Blood!"
"Miss. Honda!"
"Uhh what just happened?"
"So anyway I was wondering if you could come take a look at Tohru's cut, that is when you think you can spare the time." Shigure said into the phone.
"Fine. I'll stop by the house this evening. Hahh what's this Hatori? I don't think I've ever heard you sound so eager to come over. Could it be you have a secret crush on Tohru?" There was no reply. "Ah! I guessed right, didn't I? You naughty naughty man!?"
"No I was simply too amazed by your stupidity to say anything." Hatori said.
"Then could it be you have a crush on a certain childhood friend?" Hatori was silent before hanging up. Shigure started laughing then stopped. "Wait a minute… Hari!" He whined into the phone.
Yuki was wrapping Tohru's hand.
"So actually Ritsu's a boy." Yuki said. "But for whatever reason he's always dressed like a girl, ever since he was a child."
"Oh so that's what happened." Tohru said. "I really had no idea; it didn't even occur to me that he wasn't a girl." Yuki tied off the bandage.
"There you go. Not too tight is it?"
"Thanks it's much better now." Tohru said as Yuki put the medical things away in the first aid kit. "So, why is it that Ritsu dresses like a girl?"
"Cause he feels more comfortable that way." Shigure said. "Ri is naturally a very timid person. And when he's dressed like a girl he doesn't feel as much pressure to be assertive."
"I suppose that makes sense." Yuki said.
"By the way, did anyone happen to see where he went?" Tohru asked.
"I think I saw him go outside." Rika said.
"Oh, dear god, please punish me." Ritsu said from on top of the roof. "Send a bolt of lightning to strike me down."
"Oh no Ritsu!" Tohru shouted, freaking out. "What are you doing?! Come down it's dangerous!"
"Oh no." Shigure said.
"How did he get up there?" Yuki asked.
"Monkey plus roof." Rika said. "Makes perfect sense to me." Yuki nodded.
"Oh Tohru, I know nothing I say can change what I've done. But I am sorry for injuring you so badly."
"No! I'm okay! Really! It was only a scratch!" She called up pointing to her hand.
"I also apologize for not telling you I was a boy when we met. I was too ashamed."
"No it's okay! It didn't bother me that you were wearing girl's clothes! I actually thought you looked really cute in that dress
"Tohru, I'm not sure that's really going to help right now." Shigure said.
"Why? Why am I so stupid?" Ritsu cried. "Why can't I do anything right?! No matter how hard I try to do nothing but cause trouble wherever I go."
"Well, that's certainly been the case today." Shigure said quietly, Rika slapped his arm giving him a look.
"I'm a complete failure. At everything I do I'm absolutely worthless. I know this and yet I continue to burden the human race with my presence. Every day I rob the world of valuable air by breathing; I'm a thief and I hate myself for it. I don't deserve to exist. But even though I know it's the right thing to do I'm such a useless coward. I don't even have the courage to jump."
"No! Don't! Don't jump!" Tohru called. "It's okay if you don't have that kind of courage. The important thing is you're alive. And life hurts sometimes and sometimes it can be hard but it won't always be that way. There's gotta be a reason for you to live." Suddenly Ritsu's foot slipped and he almost fell off. "Ritsu!" He grabbed the roof and got back up.
"My ankle, I've twisted it." Ritsu said sadly.
"So ends that little adventure." Shigure said.
"I'm going inside." Yuki said.
"Um but uh-" Tohru looked back and forth. Rika ran inside the house and up to the room with the balcony. She climbed up onto the roof and Ritsu started to freak out.
"No get down! I don't want you to get hurt because of me!"
"Ritsu calm down, I'll be fine. I come up here all the time when I can." She said with a shrug walking over to him.
"Rika, do be careful!" Shigure called up. "I don't want to call Hatori to tell him we have three injuries."
"Don't worry!" Rika called down. She got over to Ritsu and crouched.
"Uh I think Shigure should help me- not that I don't want your help! I know I don't deserve i-" Rika put a finger to his lips with a smile.
"Don't worry." Rika put her arm around his back, under his arms, and helped him stand as he freaked out.
"Wait… I'm not…" He looked concerned.
"Did Tori not- uh- I'll have Shigure explain it." Rika said as she helped Ritsu towards the balcony. He looked seriously confused.
"So you're a Sohma?" Ritsu asked.
"Just found out last week, it's alright. I thought Tori would've told you."
"I guess I'm not that impor-"
"Stop that." Rika said.
"I'm sorry."
"You don't have to apologize."
"I'm sor-" Rika gave him a look and he stopped. She smiled. The front door opened with a chime.
"Shigure told me that Tohru had been injured, but he didn't say anything about you being hurt as well." Hatori said while wrapping Ritsu's ankle.
"I know, I'm sorry." Ritsu said covering his face. "I'm so sorry."
"Well Hari, it's been a long strange day." Shigure said. Hatori finished wrapping Ritsu's ankle and Ritsu brought his legs to his chest.
"Now," Hatori turned to look at Tohru who sat beside him. "Where were you hurt."
"Oh, here." Tohru held up her hand. "See, I cut my hand but it's fine now. Yuki gave me a bandage and took really good care of me.
"Did he." Just then Yuki walked into the doorway.
"Uh-huh. I didn't realize Shigure had called you. I'm sorry to make you come all the way here for nothing. But thanks for thinking about me." Yuki smiled.
"Um excuse me Shigure?" Ritsu asked timidly.
"Hm?" Shigure looked up from his book and over at Ritsu.
"I was just wondering, would you mind terribly if I stayed at your house for the night?"
"Well, this is a surprise. Trying to be more assertive are we?"
"Yes, I'm trying." Ritsu said covering his mouth with his fingers as his face flushed. Suddenly the door opened and Kyo stood there.
"What the hell are Ritsu and Hatori doin' here?!"
"Uh! I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!" Ritsu started bowing. Rika walked up from behind Kyo and kicked his leg.
"Hey!" He said holding his leg.
"Don't be mean." Rika said walking into the room with a tray of tea. She put it on the table and put a cup in front of Hatori and Ritsu. "There you go."
"Thank you." Hatori said. Rika smiled.
"Of course."
"T-Thank you, Rika." Ritsu said.
Three days later
Ritsu was looking out the window at the rain.
"I hope I put in enough seasoning." Tohru said. "It's not too bland is it?" She asked Hatori as he tried a spoon full of what she was cooking. He handed back the spoon.
"Not at all, it's quite tasty."
"Good, I'm glad you like it." Shigure came up, giggling, and put his hands on Hatori's."
"She's great isn't she? Yes, right now I'll bet you're wishing you had a cute little house wife of your very own. " Tohru started to freak out slightly. "I'd let you borrow Rika but I'm afraid that her is too good to share, but I bet you want her all for yourself huh?" Shigure nudged Hatori's arm with his elbow.
"You know you really shouldn't make such stupid comments."
"Cause I'm gunna knock ya through the roof!" Kyo shouted. Shigure laughed nervously.
"Heh, Kyo, I didn't see you there."
"No one's the little house wife of anyone, and don't talk about Rika like something you can led someone, got it?! And if I hear ya say it again I'm gunna snap you in two."
"Oh, Kyo's scarring me." Shigure said slipping away. Rika walked into the kitchen past him.
"Bastard." Kyo said.
"What's with him?" Rika asked Hatori. Hatori just shook his head so Rika shrugged.
"Well anyway, good morning Kyo." Tohru said.
"And you," Kyo said turning to her. "You could at least be a little bit angry."
"Oh uh-"
"You should let that stupid dog get away with sayin that stuff all the time
"Settle down Kyo, jealously is very unbecoming."
"It's not like that!" Kyo shouted even though a blush had come to his face. "So don't start with me! Hell, what are you even doin' here?!"
"Oh, well Hatori's been looking after Ritsu, you know to make sure his ankle's getting better and everything." Tohru answered.
"Forget I asked! Jeeze." Kyo said before storming to the fridge. He opened the door and noticed the milk was missing. "Yeah, that's just perfect we're outta milk."
"Uhh I'm sorry, I completely forgot!" Tohru said. "I'll run out to the store right now and get some more."
"Uh- no I- Ya don't have ta do that." Kyo said turning around.
"Yes I do, it's my responsibility to make sure that we have all the things we need so I should go-" Tohru was cut off by Ritsu screaming.
"I'm sorry! It's not her fault it's me! I'm the one to blame!" Kyo screamed, surprised, as Ritsu ran up to him with a bowl of milk. "I'm the one who wanted to have cereal for breakfast. And I'm the one who selfishly allowed Tohru to pour the last of the milk into my bowl! I am so sorry! I'm the guilty one! I'm the evil person who should be punished! Please don't blame her punish me!" Ritsu yelled before screaming with the bowl above his head. He started running around the kitchen, around Tohru. "I'm sorry, not only did I come to Shigure's house uninvited but then I was so bold as to ask if I could stay for one night! Only now I've imposed on you for three whole days and to make things worse I wanted to eat cereal for breakfast-"
"Um Ritsu?" Tohru asked.
"If you're going to flail about the kitchen like this at least put down your bowl first." Shigure said sadly cleaning up the milk that was spilling everywhere.
"Here Kyo, you can take the rest of the milk from my cereal." Ritsu said holding it out to Kyo with a smile. "Please I insist." Kyo held up his hand
"Over my dead body."
"But what else could I do to make this up to you?" Ritsu asked tearfully.
"What do ya think?! You can march down to the store and buy some more milk!"
"Um, don't yell." Tohru said. Yuki walked into the kitchen rubbing his eyes.
"What's all the noise?" He asked.
"Oh good morning." Tohru said.
"It looked like someone over slept." Shigure said walking by.
"Ahh! I'm sorry!" Ritsu screamed. "I should've woken you up! Now you're gunna be late for school and it's all my fault!"
"Oh that's the noise." Yuki said.
"You'll be punished for being tardy! I'm so sorry I've ruined your life!"
"I thought I taught you guys this already." Shigure said coming back in the kitchen. "Here watch closely." Shigure put his hands together and poked Ritsu in the side with one finger. "A-hah!" Ritsu floated to the floor. "It's the magic touch."
"I don't even wanna know." Kyo said.
"I think I'm going back to bed." Yuki said.
"You know Ri, you really could stand to relax a little." Shigure said from behind his desk.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Ritsu said quietly as Hatori rewrapped his ankle.
"And you don't always have to apologize for everything. In fact, that probably causes more problems than it solves. Especially the way you do it." Shigure added quietly. Ritsu stiffened. "To be a more confident person you have to start acting like one. That is what you want isn't it."
"Yes, it is, more than anything in the world. Someday I hope to be just as confident as Ayame."
"That's impossible." Shigure said.
"You're right. It's hopeless isn't it?"
"Well I'd say it's unrealistic at the very least. When it comes to confidence, Aya's is off the scale."
"I think what Shigure means is it's good to have a long term goal but it might be better to start with more reasonable immediate goals." Hatori said. "Just try not to be too hard on yourself."
"Oh, okay."
"Oh right! Yes, that's exactly what I said." Shigure said.
"No it wasn't." Hatori said.
Tohru and Rika were walking home from school when someone shouted.
"No no!" The two looked over to see Ritsu trying to get a bag back from a cat, which was biting on it. "I'm sorry please forgive me! I'm sorry I can't give these to you right now. I'll come back and I'll buy some more jelly buns just for you. But these aren't mine, I have to give them to Shigure! I'm so sorry, I apologize to you. I apologize to the world.
"Uh Ritsu?" Tohru asked. Rika smiled and walked over and crouched next to Ritsu.
"Come on, kitty, let go." She said patting the cat's head. The cat looked at her and let go. Her eyebrows went up. She turned to Ritsu who was looking at her, now clutching the bag to his chest. "Can I speak cat? That's awesome!" She laughed which made him smile.
The three sat on a bench.
"So those are for Shigure?" Tohru asked.
"Uh-huh. He asked me to pick them up. He said he just couldn't write without some fresh jelly buns." Ritsu explained.
"Yeah, that sounds like something he'd say."
"Uh-" Ritsu and Tohru both turned their heads towards each other.
"Yes? Where you gunna say something?" Tohru asked.
"No no, Tohru you were going to say something first."
"No really, I don't mind, please go right ahead."
"No really that's alright, after you please."
"Oh no I just couldn't."
"Me either." Rika giggled slightly, watching the two.
"Um ya know, for some reason I don't think this is really getting us anywhere. Why don't you go first Ritsu, please I insist."
"Uh- okay. I wanted to ask you something."
"Oh?"
"I was wondering when-when you talked to my mother, did she say anything to you…well anything bad… about me?
"uh
"I'm sorry now I've made you uncomfortable it was wrong of me to ask a question like that. Forgive me please. It-it's just; I know my parents are disappointed to have ever had a child like me. Of course I understand perfectly why it is they feel that way; I'm the most useless person I know." He turned to Tohru with a smile. "It's bad enough being born with the Sohma curse but I don't have a single talent to make up for it like other zodiac members. I'm not particularly smart or athletic; in everything I do I'm average at best. It's a well-known fact among the Sohma family how useless I am. It seems my parents have been apologizing for me my whole life. When I was young I found that dressing like a girl made me feel more comfortable somehow, safe. But any time I do it, it only makes my parents have to apologize for me even more. I want to be a more confident person, I've tried to stop dressing like a girl, but I'm not confident; I couldn't do it. I'm a complete failure. Just a worthless coward. It tears me apart inside. I don't want my mother and father to have to apologize for me anymore. I want them to have a child that- that they can be proud of. A much better child… than me. It might even be better for them if I wasn't here at all. And really there's no good reason for me to stay. There's no reason for my ever being born. I may have believed that there was at one time but even if I did, it's gone now. Knowing this, how can I still be so bold as to burden the world with my pathetic useless life."
"We're all searching for a meaning to our lives, everyone." Tohru said. Ritsu looked at her. "We have to… because no matter who you are, I don't think anyone's born knowing the reason that they're here. It's just something you have to find as you go along. And it.. It's different for everyone. There's as many reasons to live as there are people in the world, maybe even more. SO the reason for being born, the reason you've been put here in the world, I think it's something we all have to find for ourselves. So we search, within our hopes and dreams, our work, the people in our lives, in everything we do. And even if the reason that we find seems hazy or unclear, even if it's so tiny that you can hardly see it, the important thing is that you always have one. As long as I'm alive that's what I want to have a reason to go on." Tohru smiled. "And you know you can always find one, if you know where to look. The people in my life give me a reason for living. I wanna live my life for the people that I care about. And someday I hope I find someone who wants to live their life for me. So even when things are tough and it's hard to go on, it makes me wanna try harder. Because, I'm not just living for me, I'm living for them too." She smiled more. "And so, I think it's good that you're bold, that you're still here. Because you know that really is a much better place with you in it." Ritsu looked like he was going to cry.
"Maybe I will find it, my reason for living, someday." "And maybe, maybe I can find it in someone I care about. I'd like that, to find someone to live for to share my life with. That would be good. And when I do find that special someone the first thing we'll do is eat jelly buns." Tohru and Rika smiled at him.
The three started back to Shigure's house. As they were walking the cat came up behind Ritsu and meowed. He held the bag up.
"AH!" Rika laughed.
"You may as well give him one, just tell Shigure I ate it."
"Oh no I couldn't do that! I wouldn't want you to-"
"Ritsu." He stopped and blinked. "It's okay." He nodded before giving the cat a piece of jelly bun. The cat mewed happily.
"Huh, Shigure must be wondering what's taking me so long, by now." Ritsu said as they walked down the sidewalk.
"Uh-huh." Tohru agreed.
"But once we get there he's going to be able to write his whole novel in a day."
"Oh?"
"Sure. With three dozen jelly buns, he'll have plenty of inspiration."
"Oh." Tohru said while Rika giggled.
Not much Rika sorry. I'm gunna make the flashbacks into another story. Each chapter will be a one shot/memory.
If you have any flashback/memory ideas please PM me and I will write it to the best of my ability and dedicate it to you and give you credit for the idea. Even if it's something tiny I could add ideas together to make a memory.
The story will either be called "Memories Locked Away" or "Locked Inside" or "Locked Away" tell me which one you prefer. I'll get to working on it(I only have 4 ideas of memories) and i already made the cover, FIRST CHAPTER IS UP NOW.
