"Come on." He said blankly before whimsically leaping from the roof to the ground; holding her hand as they ascended to the damp grass and landed perfectly on their feet. Kyo led Tohru to her and her mother's old house and plucked a beautiful white rose from the old flower bed out front. He gracefully handed her the plant and she smiled with great happiness. Just as tears of joy began to spill at the corners of her glowing blue eyes, a firefly lazily landed itself on one of the petals and let its light shine. If Kyo wasn't mistaken, this was the same bug from ten years ago.
"I remember everything!" She said happily before pulling Kyo into a hug. He embraced the beautiful girl as the sun disappeared behind the horizon.
This, of course, was all only in Kyo's imagination. He honestly hadn't realized this until the end of the fantasy; when they hugged. He noticed the flaw as soon as the familiar puff of smoke didn't appear, and he hadn't transformed into the orange cat that he knew he would have become. He shook himself out of the thought, and prepared himself to actually answer the girl that sat to his side anxiously looking at him. Then it hit him; maybe he could make his fantasy a reality.
"Come on," he mumbled. Though he hadn't taken her hand, so she fell to the ground with a thud. Kyo rushed over and made sure she was okay before they both walked again.
After walking for around fifteen minutes Kyo turned to Tohru, his face red with anger. He bit his lip and clenched his fists as if to keep in all of his anger before speaking to her.
"Where did you and your mom live..?" He grumbled angrily. He was usually good at remembering things, but apparently ten years is what it takes to forget.
"Well, uhm, first we have to go left and-"
"JUST GIVE ME THE DANG ADDRESS!" He interrupted impatianly. Tohru looked down at the gravel, not wanting Kyo to see her cry.
"I, uhm, I-I'm very sorry..." She started as tears plopped onto the empty road. Kyo immediately felt extremely guilty and hit himself on the forehead for being an idiot.
"No, don't be. I'm the one who should be apologizing," he said with a sigh. She looked up at him with beaming eyes and smiled.
After straightening out their situation, they walked to Kyoko and Tohru's old house together. Kyo sighed as the flower bed of crushed roses sat in the front yard, mocking him. Seeing Kyo in her yard like this...it seemed incredibly familiar. Just then, looking into his crimson eyes, the memories shot through her in an instant.
"Hello, I am Tohru Honda!"
"Yeah...Kyo..."
"I SWEAR I'LL PROTECT YOU!"
This all made her feel dizzy.
"Uhm, Kyo?" She asked politely.
"Yeah?" He said while staring at the dead plants at his feet.
"How did I forget?"
A/N- Ohayo! Haha, sorry if this is short. Also, sorry for the long wait... I didn't have a computer available! But don't worry! I'll get working on the next chappie right now!
