Hello! Sorry for not updating Saturday. I was with relatives. Anyway, I hope you enjoy and have a Merry Christmas and/or Happy Holidays!
"Is she going to be alright, Hatori?" asked Shigure. "She should be just fine. Let her wake up and give her time to adjust to the sudden change of setting." "Okay, would you like some pie, Hatori?" asked Tohru. "Why, yes please." Tohru, Shigure, Hatori, and Yuki left to the kitchen. Kyo stayed next to Lilly. Wow, I'm a jerk. Sorry Lilly. Just then Lilly's eyes flicked open. "She's awake!" called Kyo.
"I just got the pie too." said Hatori. "Where am I? Who are you?" Lilly asked Hatori. "You're safe. Tell me, do you recognize Kyo?" Lilly looked around the room. "Sorry, who?" "How can she not know me?!" yelled Kyo. "She has amnesia." Kyo's heart sank alittle. "There's nothing I can do. You'll have to help her restore her memory, Kyo" "What amnesia?" asked Lilly. "Food." answered Yuki. "I want some!" she exclaimed. "You already have some. A lot of it." mumbled Kyo.
Hatori left a while later. He had to go and check on Akito. The Sohmas' and Lilly ate dinner. During dinner, Shigure invited Lilly to stayand live with them. Yuki slammed his fork down. "Shigure? Can I talk to you in the hall?" The two went to the long narrow hallway. "We already have one outsider who knows the secret! If Lilly stays, she'll find out!" "Well, so be it." said Shigure. He went back to the dinning room, leaving Yuki in the hall.
"Here's your room." said Kyo to Lilly. "Cool, thanks." said Lilly while smiling at Kyo. His heart fluttered and he got goose bumps. "Okay, I'm going to bed goodnight." he said turning away. "Wait!" He turned around to see Lilly look sad. "What's wrong?" She sat on her bed and he sat next to her. "Why can't I remember anything?" "I don't know. You might of hit your head on something." he said lightly touching a growing bruise on her head. " Why is one of my eyes purple when everyone else's eyes are the same color?" "Well, you got a black eye." "But, it's purple." "It's called a black eye." "You're blind because it's purple." Kyo started to laugh, but Lilly looked confused. "You're right, purple eye." Lilly smiled.
A few days went by. Kyo kept Lilly from going to the dojo. The rumor there was that Lilly ran away and went on a rampage. Kyo also stayed next to Lilly most of the time, always by her side. Yuki noticed this and pulled Kyo out to the hallway. "Take her to the dojo." "No, I don't want her to get more hurt and harassed." "She still needs to fight. She must learn to protect herself. You're not always going to be next to her on her side." "I know, but she'll go back once she gets her memory back." "Take her tomorrow." "No." "Yes." "No you dumb rat!" "You stupid cat, take her." Kyo growled. "Fight me!" Yuki sighed. "Stupid cat." Yuki punched Kyo into the door. Kyo got up and kicked him in the stomach. While in the air, Yuki did a flip and punched Kyo through several walls. Kyo coughed, "You win." "Good. Doesn't surprise me either." Then he left.
"Where are we going?" asked Lilly. Sshe and Kyo were walking in the woods. "Nowhere. We're just going for a walk." "Then why are you carrying that basket?" "We're having a picnic." "Yummy!" exclaimed Lilly. Kyo's face turned red. They reached the beautiful creek. Kyo set out the blanket and set the food out. They had fish, rice, rice balls, and cake. "Wow!" Lilly smiled at Kyo. Kyo smiled back. Wow, she sure knows how to make a guy smile. They started to eat. "So, do you remember anything?" asked Kyo. "Um, your name is Kyo, then there's Tohru, Shigure, Yuki, and old doctor guy." "That's Hatori." "Yeah, him." "What else?" Lilly pondered for a minute. "For some reason… California keeps coming to my head. What's a California?" Kyo smiled. "You're remembering! That's where you came from. You came from California, US. Now you're in Japan! Great job!" Kyo had an urg to hug her, but if he did, she'd be hugging a cat.
They walked home later and noticed Shigure gone. "Where is he?" asked Lilly. Tohru looked scared. "He went to see Akito."
With Shigure and Akito
"… You want another girl in your home? What are you doing to girls? I knew you were obsessed with girls but really? 16 year olds?" "No! It's not like that! She has no home-" "And her health is critical, yeah, same story with Tohru." "Please?" "… As long as she-" "Tells no one the secret. Thanks." "Good"
Back at the Sohma household a while later
It was 9:00 at night. Lilly still didn't know her ways around the big house with many hallways. Kyo showed her her room. "Kyo?" He turned around before he left the door. "Yes?" "I have a question." "What is it?" "What is love?" Kyo's face turned tomato red. "Uh, what?" "What is love? I heard Tohru say she loved leeks?" "Uh, I hate leeks. But love is… a strong feeling of… like? Strong feeling of emotion that makes you like something very VERY much. Usually something-or in some cases someone- that brings you great joy or happiness. That's the best way I can explain it." Lilly looked Kyo in the eyes. Kyo looked at her eyes and his heart pounded. His heart and stomach fluttered. "Kyo, thank you for telling me that. It explains a lot." "Why?" "I think I love someone."
Please review and give me suggestions! Have a great Christmas/ Holiday! :D
