chapter 2

yuki's p.o.v.(he doesn't know hayate's reason for being here is)

tohru has a boy over. what's their relationship?

i don't want to lose her to anyone. i want her to be mine only. damn, i sound so selfish!

i felt as if that hayate is someone us sohma's won't like. i sensed that something was wrong with him. this uncomfortable tingling sensation. i'm sure shigure and kyo felt it too.

but what if something were to happen tonight between those two? anger boiled within me at the thought.

tohru is the type of girl who sticks to what she does. she won't even change what zodiac member she likes the most. which just happens to be that stupid cat.

i'll tell her tonight. it'll be romantic. the full moon is out.

i sighed in agreement to my plan.

the sun set slowly, and my heart was beating faster and faster. i remember, i would've always thought of her as a friend, until the day after she saw akitto.

flashback

we were sitting in her room, studying some physics. her window was wide open. i watched her work calmly.

a gust of wind blew in and her small items flew around the room for a few seconds before settling down.

she quickly grabbed the first thing she saw. an orange hat. it looked strangely familiar to me. from a memory that hurt me deeply.

"honda-san, where'd you get that hat?" i asked while helping. "it just seemed that you weren't the type to have this sort of thing."

she smiled at my question. "when i was a little girl, i was chased by a bunch of my classmates, and i got lost. then a little boy saw me and ran. i couldn't help it; i just felt that i had to run after him. i thought i might lose him, but he waited for mw every time. i realized that he had led me home. he gave me his hat. i tried to thank him but he was gone. so this is the only proof he ever existed in my life" she answered to me dreamily. my heart began to pound.

i looked at the hat for a minute before i spoke. it looked familiar. like a time when i helped a lost girl…. tohru honda. she was the little girl?

"why'd you keep it all these years?" i asked keeping my voice steady.

"it's a wonderful memory."
