I still do not own Fruits Basket. Please review!
Review of Chapter 6:
Akito screamed, before throwing her against the wall with all his might. Her head slammed into a dresser and then into the corner of the wall. Her whole body slumped to a laying position and she didn't move.
"Hatori, erase her memory. If you don't, I'll kill her." Akito straightened his robes and walked out the door. Kureno went with Hatori to check on her, but had to leave. He put his hand on Hatori's shoulder and left the house.
'There's...so..much...pain...' Hana could feel her breath fading and heard her own heart stopping. Her body grew cold and the world went black once more.
She was certain that she'd never wake again.
And on to the new chapter!
Chapter 7 - He's Gone
Hana awoke to the sun coming in through black curtains. She was back in her bedroom. Her head pounded and her body felt incredibly stiff.
'Uh...why does my head hurt so badly?'
Hana sat up quicky, too quickly, for her head pounded with the sudden movement. Her hand went to her forehead, where it found a bandage wrapped.
'Why is there a bandage on my head!' Hana began to panic, fearing the worst had happened to her family or friend.
"Hello, sister" Hana looked to her right where Megumi's monotone voice came from.
"Megumi! Whats happened? Why am I bandaged?" Megumi's eyes looked down to the floor for a moment before looking back up at her.
"He said you wouldn't remember what happened. You...fell sown the stairs. Dad got home early and found you unconcious at the bottom of the stairs and called a doctor." Megumi bit his lip, he voice momentarily losing the monotone.
"Dad's home! Why!" Hana shot off her bed and attempted to make it to the doorway. She collapsed to her knees with pain. Megumi wrapped his arms around her and helped her stand.
"The doctor said not to let you move around for a little while. A few days at most, he said. So you lay down and I'll go get dad." Megumi walked Hana over to her bed and helped her lay down. As he left the room, he heard her breathing go slow and deep.
"Sleep well, sister."
"How's our little flower doing, Haa-san?" Shigure asked, leaning back in his tatami mat. He had called Hatori over because Yuki had had another asthma attack.
"She's forgotten. About the curse, Akito, what happened, and most importantly, me." Hatori lit his fifth cigarrete and inhaled slowly.
"You know Haa-san, you didn't have to do...it. You could've just told Akito that you did it, and not actually have done it. And away for the second time goes your chance at happiness. Honestly Hari, you fight for things other people need. For once, give yourself the fighting chance. Like they say, que sera sera!" Shigure laughed before losing his smile at the look on Hatori's face.
"Shutup, Shigure." Hatori put out his cancer stick and stood up.
"I'm going to be at my clinic should you need me. Make sure Yuki rests," Hatori said and turned his back on Shigure. As he walked through the doorway, Tohru came down the stairs.
"Hello Hatori-san! Are you leaving so soon? Do you want to stay for dinner; I was just about to start cooking it." Tohru stood in front of him; looking up at him with her brown eyes alight with hope.
"I have to get back to my clinic. Maybe another day, Ms Honda." Hatori turned his back on Tohru and started to walk away.
"And Tohru, keep an eye on Hanajima Saki-chan for me. I heard she took a bad tumble at her house." Hatori pulled on his shoes and left the house. Sighing heavily, he climbed into his car and drove away.
"Ms Honda-san? Is what Hatori said true?" Tohru turned and saw Yuki at the bottom of the stairs.
"I...I don't know! But I better call her right away and check on her!" Tohru ran to the phone and dialed Hana's number.
Thirteen of the Sohma's are cursed with the vengeful spirits of the Chinese Zodiac.' The dog was talking! Hana looked around and saw herself, holding a seahorse and petting the dog behind its ear. She looked around and noticed she was in her favorite book store.
She was in the graveyard, staring at Tohru; who was leaning on her mother's marker crying. Hana sensed something was up and kept pushing Uo away from Tohru. Suddenly, Uo was pissed and Tohru was limping away. The pain. The emotional pain of not helping her friend. The nthe physical. Of her other friend kicking and punching in rage.
A car. 'Please let it hit me, I can't take anymore.' Hana closed her eyes and waited for it. Nothing. "Shit...what happened?" Warmth.
She was back in the cemetery, in a man's arms. Their lips inched closer and closer, till finally they met. Soft and warm. Pleasant and sweet. Everything she had ever wished and hoped for.
"Hatori, what are you doing here?" The man in front of her had a crazed look. Through the corner of her eyes she could see the man. Hatori?
Many images flooded her suddenly and Hana felt tears hit her face. She loved this man. Why couldn't she remember doing these things?
"Hatori, erase her memory. If you don't, I'll kill her." Who was he?
Hana shot of bed, cold sweat covering her body. This was the fourteenth time to have that nightmare. Every night for the past two weeks it was the same.
"The doctor said that it might have a bad effect on you because of your powers." Hana looked to her right to see Megumi sitting at her table.
"What are you talking about, Megumi?" Hana got out of bed and sat next to Megumi.
"I can't keep it from you any longer. The doctor's name was Hatori Sohma. He erased your memories to protect you from the head of the family, Akito. Akito injured you, thats why you had the bandage. For the details, visit him." Megumi handed Hana a card.
"Wh...what are...Hatori...ah!" Hana let out a scream as a shockwave went through her whole skull.
"The pain must mean that he is close by. The pain is your powers fighting against the power of the erase. Find him and the pain will go away. Go now!" Megumi left the room and Hana sat at the table holding her head for a little longer before darting upward and dressing.
Hatori was walking anywhere. He wasn't sure where or why. Before he knew it, he stood in front of Hana's home.
"Dammit!" Hatori quickly turned away and walked down an alley to his clinic.
Hana darted outside and searched everywhere, but found no one anywhere near her home. She came back home with the sun.
"I couldn't find him, Megumi. I searched everywhere."
"Call his clinic and pretend to be sick. Visit him that way."
Hana called Hatori's clinic around 10 am and found that he was booked for the rest of the week.
He figured she would try to call ifshe remembered anything. He had the phone number written down and all shifts were to say no to accepting the patient.
He wasn't going to see her again.
Hana called seven times total in one week. Still the answer was no.
"He's avoiding me. That's it, Megumi." Hana stood up and walked towards the stairs.
"He's gone. Forever Forgotten. Forever Gone."
