Akari: It's chapter 20…! Yeah yeah, awesomeness! :)

MaxwellsFanFic: What's going to happen next?! o.o

Akari: Ehhh, I have no idea! What is going to happen?! *sigh*

Kyo: Well, you need to think of something quick!

Akari: I-I'll try at least… That's my excuse for everything! X)

MaxwellsFanFic: You shouldn't make excuses you know…

Akari: I'm only a little bitty girl, give me a break… I have other responsibilities like school and stuff…

Kyo: Yeah right, I heard she hardly ever gets homework which is kinda hard to believe since you're in your second year of high school, geez…

Akari: Ehh, give me a break guys…Year 8 is freaking hard.. T^T Anywhoo, I do not own Fruits Basket or any of its characters, and sorry if I ramble on a little bit in this chapter, I've written everything there is to write and I am stuck…!

Tohru's Pov

As I awoke from my sleep in front of the fire place, I stretched out my legs and yawned, then I felt someone lying next to me, it startled me at first but saw it was Kyo, I smiled and got up to make breakfast.

Now that I got taught again how to cook it's been much easier than buying take-away each night. I opened the cupboard and looked inside. I'll make Kyo's favourite breakfast food, Udon. Even know Udon is a dinner sort of food, he told me that he likes it for breakfast too; I made a mental note of that a year ago, and as expected I heard the familiar sound of Kyo groaning as he rubbed his eyes and woke up, but brightened up instantly when he smelt what was cooking.

He quickly walked over to me as I stirred the sauce; he peered into the pan just like a curious little cat would. "I-is that..?" "Yep, it's your favourite, Udon." I finished his sentence once again; he blushed a little and sat at the table which was next to the bench where I was cooking. I got two bowls from out of the cupboard and served them both with large portions of delicious smelling Udon.

"Here you go" I said as I placed the huge bowl in front of Kyo, he had sparkly eyes and waited for me to sit down while drooling a little. "Itadakimasu" we both said, then Kyo scoffed down the whole bowl, I just smiled and began to eat it too. Something about this seemed really familiar, but I just couldn't remember where it came from, maybe I am getting my memory back, that would be great.

"So.." Kyo mumbled with his mouth full, I chuckled and continued to listen to him while he quickly swallowed his full mouth of Udon. "I was thinking about it yesterday, how did you escape from Akito erasing your memory?" Kyo asked while he ate mouthfuls in-between breaths. I smiled and replied, "I didn't escape…He did erase it, but I closed my eyes just when he was about to…I'm not really sure how it worked, but I still remember you and everyone else.." I smiled and Kyo looked shocked. "E-ehh, but no one has ever survived Akito erasing people's memories, that's weird…" I gasped a little too but then smiled, "And ever since, I've been remembering parts of my memory from a year ago…" Kyo stopped eating and put down his spoon, he looked at the wall for a long moment and he looked like he was in deep thought. "I've heard about this before…" He started, "I heard about it from Hatori when I was younger, although it's apparently only a legend though, but it sounds pretty true now." I was confused, does that mean I'm regaining my memory or something. "I guess you want to hear the whole story right?" Kyo asked, putting his hand under his chin and letting out a sigh of relief as I nodded in reply.

"Well, according to Hatori, if a person has lost their memory and the doctors say that there is no way for you to remember them ever again, and that's what the doctors said about you too… Apparently there is one cure…But you have to go to the other ends of the earth basically, to get a magic orb that contains all of your past memories, but I doubt it would be true though…" Kyo sighed, he seemed sad but frustrated too. "B-but how do you know if it is real or not?" I asked, it seemed like a stupid question though.

"Well…You know what they say, you can't really prove if a legend is true or not, so I don't know how we could find out" Kyo sighed yet again, swallowed the last spoonful of Udon and pushed his bowl to the side.

"Wait…I think I might know someone who could tell us if it was true.." I said after a moment of silence, "Who..?" Kyo asked.

"Hana from school, she always had a reputation for being a psychic, so maybe she might know.." I replied as I got my phone from my pocket and dialled Hana's number. Kyo was silent, he stared into space and was deep in thought, I could tell.

The phone rang for a long time, and I was about to hang up when she answered, "Hello?" She sounded tired. "Oh hi Hana, sorry if I woke you up so early, but I was wondering if you could help me…" I bit my lip, hoping somehow she would know and I could restore my memory. "Yeah what is it?" She asked. I told her about the legend Kyo had told me about, there was a long moment of silence, then she replied "Yes, I've heard about it from a book I read recently, and I know for a fact it works, it was proven to me back in middle school…" My eyes sparkled with excitement, I couldn't wait to have my memory restored.

"You want that orb don't you Tohru..?" Hana spoke with a dark and mysterious voice, she always seemed scary when she was like this, I replied with a simple "Mmm hmm.."

"Ok, but I must warn you, this is no ordinary magic orb, I'll explain it to you, by telling you what had happened back in middle school…"

FlashBackk!

It all began back in middle school, Uo and Hana were sitting on the grass talking about school and going over their homework in the playground, and all was happy and cheerful. (Akari: By the way, this is what happened before Tohru met them both..)

Then Hana noticed that the new girl in their class was sitting by herself, she looked sad and was eating her lunch. "What are you looking at Hana?" Uo asked as she put down her pen. "The new girl in our class, I think her name was Akari…" Hana said in a dreamy sort of state. "I wonder why she's alone, she had friends in class, maybe we should sit with her.." Uo replied and without a second thought she got up and walked over to Akari.

Akari stared at her feet and ate her sandwich; she heard the sound of footsteps so she looked up to see her classmate, Uo. Akari smiled nervously as Uo sat next to her and Hana sat down too. "Are you ok?" Uo asked with concern, Uo didn't like seeing anyone sad. "Not really…" Akari said in a quiet voice and sighed. "You can tell us what happened to make you sad if you want.." Hana asked with a small smile. "Y-you wouldn't believe me if I told you.." Akari replied, looking as nervous as ever. "Yes I would.." Hana smiled and Akari looked up, looking a little shocked, "I am a physic after all…"

Uo chuckled quietly but turned back to her concerned face. "Okay…No one believes me when I tell them, not even my own parents…But if you insist.." Hana and Uo both nodded, Akari gulped and told her story. "I lost my memory about a month ago because I fell off my ski sled and rolled down a huge snow hill when I went to the snow for a holiday… I landed on my head, which caused major brain injures which made me lose my memory. I was so afraid because I didn't know anyone, not even my parents, I felt more alone than ever. After that, I was allowed out of hospital for a week just to adjust to my 'new house' and get a feel around town, but after that I had to go straight back to hospital because they needed to run more tests until I could officially go home. But the truth was, I didn't want to go back to hospital, they could have told me that my brain injuries were worse than they thought, or maybe my brain would be permanently damaged, I'm pretty sure I was just being paranoid… So I made the stupid decision to run away, find a new life and maybe I could find my memory. I believed when I was a child that everyone's memories were stored in orbs, I read it in a picture book once and I was amazed. So I figured maybe I could find mine too.

The story said that these orbs were stored in glass cabinets , there were thousands of these cabinets, or even millions, because everyone on earth had an orb, and that's where they were stored, in an huge room that was underground, right at the other end of earth, which happened to be pretty close to where I lived at the time. It still was a huge distance to run, but I did anyway.

The time came to when I reached the place; it looked exactly like in the picture book, every detail. The long room stretched out for miles and the orbs with memories glinted in the faint light of the moon. I got my torch from my backpack and began to search the room for my orb that contained my precious memories. And just like in the book, all of the cabinets had a label on them which had letters from A to Z, I didn't have to walk far to find the A section, but even so, the section was huge, much bigger than on the picture book. I ran my finger on the number of shelves, they were sorted out just like a library would.

'Akari Akaza' I finally found my orb, I jumped with joy and slowly but carefully opened the glass door of the cabinet and lifted my orb down. I stared into the merging colours which swirled around into a beautiful pattern until finally it happened, a faint light surrounded me and I was teleported, into my memories. I was incredibly scared at first because I had no idea where I was but then it gave me a second to realise I was watching the day where I lost my memory, it was painful to watch I admit, it only went for a short time but then, something weird happened…The world went into darkness and it felt like I was asleep, then when I awoke, I found myself back in my bed, it was the morning and I rushed into the lounge room where my parents were watching TV, "I can't believe it!" I shouted with glee, "What is it? And please stop shouting this early in the morning..!" My mother hushed her voice and I couldn't stop smiling, "Tell us sweetie.." My father asked. "I-I have my memories back!" I smiled, they both looked confused and told me that isn't possible; the doctors told them that I could never regain my memories. "I'll prove it then!" I said nervously and told them what had happened, about the orbs, and everything. They told me that I must have dreamt the whole thing because they don't remember anything about me running away. I told everyone my story but no one believed me…" Akari ended her story and sighed, "I'm happy that I have them back but it's no use if no one believes me…"

End Of The FlashBackkk!

There was a long moment of silence as Hana caught her breath, Kyo had his ear pressed up to the phone too and he looked confused as well as I did. "That's the consequences of the magic orbs, no one believes you when you say that you have your memory back, so do you still want to find them then?" Hana asked, I looked to Kyo and he shook his head as if to say, "Say no.." I sighed and replied, "No its fine, thanks for telling me about it though, have a good day.." And with that I hung up and put the phone back into my pocket. Kyo sat back on his seat and sighed. "Well, it's no use getting your memory back if no one believes you.." Kyo said sadly. I nodded and we sat in silence for a few minutes, processing the story Hana had told us in our mind.

"Why don't we just prove the doctors wrong then?" Kyo asked with a smirk, I tilted my head in confusion and wondered what he meant…

Akari: Oh. My. Gosh. I actually wrote 2215 words?! ;O One word, Awesomeness!

Kyo: It's not that great…

Akari: E-eh what?! It's freaking 12pm now and I haven't had dinner and I have school tomorrow! And you tell me it's not that great?!
