This chapter will have more differences shown; there will be a slightly different scenario as to what happened between Hatori and Kana, and there will be no mentioning of Tohru going back to her grandfather's house. And unlike the manga, there will be an earlier connection between Tohru and Kyo. So, here's chapter three.

Tohru and Yuki walked home together doing more talking. Yuki talked about what had happened almost a year ago with his cousin Hatori.

"He had a girlfriend named Kana; she worked as his assistant for a while. Akito liked her very much, but her younger stepbrother was having a tantrum and threw things around the room," Yuki explained.

Flashback

The kid was throwing a temper tantrum so heavy Akito rushed to get Hatori. She stood outside the room with Kana as Hatori tried to tranquilize the screaming boy, but just as he almost caught him, they boy threw a vase to the floor and one of the shards flew up and hit Hatori's left eye. Kana screamed and the boy just continued to roll on the floor and scream.

"MOM! GET IN HERE NOW!"Akito shouted as she rushed into the room to help Hatori. Akito's mother Ren came into the room and dragged the screaming kid out. Poor Kana couldn't do anything but cry. The maids helped Hatori while Akito did everything she could to comfort Kana, but it was no use; she continued to cry and she even confessed that if she hadn't met Hatori, this situation wouldn't have happened. Shortly after, Akito went to Hatori's room to speak to him.

"How are you feeling?" she asked.

"I'm alright," Hatori answered. "How's Kana?"

"Not good," Akito replied with a sad look on her face. "She's crying non-stop, and she said none of this would've happened if she hadn't met you, and it shocked me that she said it no matter how many times I told her it wasn't her fault."

"She actually said that?" asked Hatori. Akito gave a sad nod, and Hatori's heart sank.

"I think she's trying to make a decision," Akito continued, "because with what she said, I think she was saying she wants to leave and forget everything. Hatori I'm not forcing you into anything, but you need to help her somehow, even if it involves erasing her memories. It's up to you."

With that being said, Hatori knew what he had to do.

End of Flashback

"And so, he erased Kana's memories," Yuki went on, "even if he wasn't forced into it, but he did what he could to make her Kana happy again. All the blame was pushed on Akito's bratty little stepbrother, and we were all very sad to see her leave, Akito didn't talk to her stepbrother for two weeks straight, she was that angry at him. He was grounded for two months."

"How's Hatori doing now?" asked Tohru.

"He's doing much better," Yuki replied.

-At the Main House-

Shigure was sitting on the porch with Akito sharing a bowl of fresh strawberries, and they talked about this morning's events.

"So the secret got out once again did it?" asked Akito.

"I'm afraid so," Shigure replied. "Although this matter is not severe at all but it is desperate."

"Go on."

"Tohru's father passed away when she was young and she hardly knew him; and her mother just recently passed away in a car accident and she lost her home. She had been living with her grandfather but his house is under renovations, and he suggested she could live somewhere else because her aunt and cousins are not really fond of her at all. Tohru is very high spirited and this morning she kept babbling on about some of the things she would possibly put herself through to keep the secret safe, swallowing a thousand pills was one of them."

"Sounds like she really means it," said Akito. "What are you guys doing tomorrow?"

"I'm taking Kyo to the school for an entrance exam, why?"

"Okay, well why don't the four of you come by next week, I wanna meet Tohru. If she promises to keep the secret I want to hear it from her own lips," Akito suggested.

"We'll be there," said Shigure giving Akito a soft kiss.

-At Shigure's House-

Yuki and Tohru had just arrived home, and it was quiet.

"Where's Shigure?" Yuki asked himself.

"He's at the Main House," Kyo answered as he came out into the hall. "He's probably having sex with Akito."

"Don't be confused Miss Honda," said Yuki, "Shigure and Akito are boyfriend and girlfriend; they've been dating for nearly two years now. But I think he's talking to her about what happened this morning."

"They probably had sex right afterwards," Kyo laughed.

"Well don't even think to ask him about it," Yuki glared as he went upstairs to his bedroom. Tohru was about to go upstairs, but Kyo stopped her.

"Hey, can I talk to you?" he asked.

"Uh, sure," said Tohru.

"Listen, I'm sorry about what happened this morning, I'm not good at controlling my temper; it's still a work-in-progress. I guess I was caught off guard because I think you're cute."

Tohru couldn't believe she just heard that from somebody just met, let alone a Sohma boy.

"W-well, I think your hair is cute," said Tohru trying to hide her blush.

"Thanks," Kyo replied. "I am hoping we could be friends."

"Yes I would like that very much," said Tohru just before Shigure walked in the door. Yuki came downstairs to hear what Shigure knew.

"I spoke to Akito," he said.

"And?" said Yuki.

Shigure took a deep breath.

"She wants to meet Tohru."

Well, that's chapter three. It's starting to come together; the ideas are coming to me very quickly. Write a review and please be nice.
