Before I start, I would like to dedicate this chapter to someone very special to me. I found out a few days ago that a friend of mine had died. I am torn up about it. I feel bad that I didn't get to know her a little better. I dedicate this chapter to you, Jamie. R.I.P Jamie…..

A/N: It has been over a year since I last worked on this story. I am so sorry. I haven't had any inspiration. I must warn you ahead of time. If you have read Volume 17 of Fruits Basket or downloaded it and read ahead, then you know about Akito's dirty little secret. (Dirty Little Secret plays in my mind). If you haven't… then I guess I spoil a bit for you.

Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Basket, Takaya-sensei does If I did…. Well, Akito wouldn't be such a bitch…. .

Chapter 5: Yuki and Kyo's Talk

After Ayame, Haru, and Momiji left, Kyo and Yuki were left alone. Kyo turned to Yuki and watched him for minute.

"Do you think we can retrieve her memories?" Kyo asked Yuki, resting his face on his palm.

"There has to be someway to bring her memories back. Maybe I should talk to Hatori-san," Yuki said.

"But, can we trust him?" Kyo asked. "Are you sure he won't tell Akito-san?"

Yuki didn't answer right away.

"I don't think he would. Shigure-san is the only one we need to watch out for. He is very close to Akito-san. They are lovers after all," Yuki said, looking down at the table.

Kyo watched Yuki for a minute. Then he stood and went into the kitchen. He came back a few minutes later with a teapot and a couple of cups. Yuki looked up at Kyo with a surprised look on his face.

"I thought a cup of tea would be good for the both of us," Kyo said, a little red in the face and shrugging.

"Thank you, Kyo," Yuki said, pouring some tea for the both of them. Kyo sat at the table. They were quiet for awhile.

"You love her, don't you?" Kyo asked. Yuki was quiet before he answered him.

"Yeah, I loved Tohru. She was my beacon of light. The day that Akito-san asked to see her, I knew something was up. Then they called me to the house and made me watch Tohru get her memories suppressed. It was a horrible situation for me. The second time someone has had to have their memories suppressed because of me," Yuki said looking into his tea cup.

"They made you watch?" Kyo asked, shocked.

"Yeah," Yuki said. "Akito-san called me into the room and made me sit and watch Tohru's memories get suppressed. She was crying and I felt so bad. Before her memories were gone, though, she said one thing that will stay with me forever. 'I do not regret meeting you, Yuki-kun. The only thing I regret is not getting to know you more. I love you, Yuki-kun.' Then… her memories were gone."

Kyo was staring at Yuki, obviously lost for words. Kyo looked down at the table. He decided to tell Yuki.

"Yuki… I was in love with Tohru, too," Kyo said. "There were many times that I wanted to tell Akito-san that you were dating Tohru, just to make you suffer. Then I was going to swoop in and take her for me. But, I didn't. I didn't think I could live with myself if I did that to you. Since we have started to live in the same house, I have started to respect you. I don't know about you, but I have."

Yuki was quiet. He felt a little jealous, but he knew it was bound to happen. They had lived in the same house for quite a while.

"Kyo, thank you for being honest with me. I am glad that you didn't tell Akito-san. I probably would have hated you for the rest of your life. But, I, too, respect you. I hope we can become friends. I am sick of this stupid cat and rat thing. I know the cat and rat are supposed to hate each other, but maybe we should hate the spirits inside of us, but not the person."

Kyo nodded, he was feeling very weird at the moment. He didn't really know how to feel.

"I think I am going to go for a run," Kyo said, getting up.

Yuki nodded to show that he had heard. Yuki sat at the table for a few minutes after Kyo left. He then got up and went to his room. Yuki was thinking of doing homework, but instead he lay on his bed and looked up at his ceiling.

.:Flashback:.

Yuki picked up the phone that was ringing.

"Hello?" he asked.

He listened for a few minutes and hung up. Someone from the main house has called. Akito-san wanted to talk to him and show him something. After a few minutes, a car came to pick up Yuki. When he arrived at the main house, he went inside to see Akito-san.

"Ah, Yuki-kun. It is good to see you, again," Akito-san said, looking over at him.

"You wanted to see me?" Yuki asked.

"Yes," Akito said, getting up. "I heard you were dating that little bitch, Honda Tohru."

Yuki was frozen. He didn't know what to say or do.

"Since you are not answering, I take it that it is true. Someone close to you has told me. So I am suppressing her memory. I want you to watch. Shigure is going to escort you over to Hatori's."

Shigure came in a few minutes later and escorted him to Hatori's

"I am so sorry that this has to happen," Shigure said.

Yuki walked into the room where Tohru and Hatori were. She was crying, and Yuki was having trouble looking at her.

"I am sorry I have to do this, Tohru," Hatori said, placing his hand on her head.

"Can I say something to Yuki-kun, first?" Tohru asked.

"Yes, go ahead," Hatori said, not moving his hand.

"I do not regret meeting you, Yuki-kun. The only thing I regret is not getting to know you more. I love you, Yuki-kun."

Hatori asked if she was done and Tohru nodded. A few seconds later, she was lying on the floor, like she was sleeping.

.:End Flashback:.

Yuki awoke with a start. He hadn't realized he had fallen asleep.

"Yuki-kun!" Shigure's voice came from downstairs. "Dinner time!"

Yuki groaned and got up and went downstairs for some dinner.

A/N: A friend came over a few weeks ago and she brought Volume 17 of Fruits Basket with her. I freaked out while I was reading it. And she was laughing at me. So, I have been kinda depressed. Ever since I found out that Jamie had died. It makes me sad that I didn't get to know her like I wanted to. To remember her, I am going to name my first born Jamie. Since it is a name that goes both ways, it wouldn't matter if I have a boy or a girl. I just miss her a lot. It has been hard on me, and it will continue to be hard. I will get through it….. Also, I need ideas for the whole retrieving memories thing. If you have an idea, let me know. I will be sure to mention you if you help me… And if I use it of course.

Tohru: Poor Smurf2005-san, I know how you feel…

Momiji: Smurf2005-san would like us to tell you to R&R.

Shigure: Constructive criticism is welcome.

Ayame: But no flames please. That beautiful blue dress I made her a while ago is in good shape.

Kyo: Just as long as it isn't a maid outfit….

Ayame: What about a nurse's outfit.

Kyo: Grrrrr!

Ayame: …

Smurf: Anyways, R&R. Constructive criticism welcome, but no flames please. A little part of me dies when I get a flame, and I lose my inspiration.
