Kana smiled hoping that she had helped ins omeway. Sure, she didn't really understand what was going on but she could see that something was pulling her towards Hatori. And scarily enough it was almost irrestible. At the same time though she was afraid to get close to Hatori because there was something that she knew had to stop her. And though she didn't know what was supposed to stop her she knew it was bad. Bad enough so she wasn't supposed to know.
It was rather confusing so Kana didn't think about it much. "You feel better?" she asked a hopeful and true smile on her face as she reached her handout into the snow and let a few snowflakes fall into her palm.

Hatori nodded a replied in a kind voice, "Yes, I do..." He said gently, "Thank you."
Such out of character actions told people who saw these acts that Hatori Sohma was not that cold and strict as he seemed. There was that softer side of him that very few people could bring out, and then there was he usual matured side that came out to most in rather blunt ways.

Before talking with Hatori like this Kana too had thought that Hatori would turn out to be the strict, studious type. The kind that thought fun was wrong and didn't ever smile.
So, to see him smiling and talking so gently to her was surprisng and welcome. It felt good and somehow comfortable in a way she couldn't exactly explain.
"Sohma-san? May I ask you a question? It's sort of silly but I ask almost everyone I meet?" as Kana was asking thisshe blushed slightly and brought her handback in from the snow so she could brush a few straw hairs away from her face.
By now Hatori probably knew what was coming. He probably knew what she was going to ask. Though even if he didn't or even if he did it was almost like old times again.

Hatori looked at her and raised a brow in question, though part of him knew what she was fixing to ask him. He looked away again, "Sure, Kana-san. What is it?" He answered sincerely.
He cherished the old times and he hoped that this would be the reminder of the past, the little spark that could brighten up his day in some way.

Smiling Kana didn't answer for a moment still feeling silly. But she knew shehad toanswer since he had already said she could ask.
"When the snow melts what does it become? That's your question." she said simply as she stuck out her hand in the snow again and watched as it fell into her hand and became wat-no spring. It became spring in her hand. A spring that would not only bloom on the earth one day but also would bloom for Hatori. That way she could know thatevery time he smiled it was his true smile. The smile that could melt anyone's pain away and would one day make spring blossom for a special someone.
"I know it's silly but it's one of my favorite riddles."

Now it was the question of playing stupid or actually answering the correct answer. For though he knew the answer, would it be rude to ruin the riddle? He decided against ruining the fun of the riddle and looked at her, "Water?" He replied questioningly, this was a riddle not to be thought of logically, but, to be thought of in a humrous way, nevertheless, he replied water.

Kana smiled and shook her head. "No, it becomes spring." she smiled at her answer. Tuthfully though she had thought Hatori would answer the question right. And for a moment it looked liek he had been deciding between a couple of answers. She didn't know what to think of this though and put it out of her mind.
As she did this thought the clearest vision yet came to her mind causing her to jump and cry out as she now saw something or someone swing or throw something and hit someone causing a now ear shattering break.
Not awareof it there were now tears streaming down Kana's eyes as she shivered uncontrollably terrified of whatever it had been she had just saw.

"Kana-san!" Hatori said, "Are you alright?"
Hatori rose up and reached out to lightly touch her arm but pulled his hand back at the last second. He watched her worriedly and wondered what it could have been that had scared her.

Kana nodded and shook her head at the same time. Looking up at Hatori she explained herself better.
"I...I don't know. I saw something....someone ro something hitting someone else and hurting that person badly...it was so terrifying....I I don't know where it came from at all."
Falling into sobs now Kana found herself unable to say another word. The tears and the pain she could feel in her heart and head were too much. But what was much worse was the thought that it was Hatori who had been hurt.
She couldn't figure out why she thought it but it almost made sense.

Hatori's eyes widened slightly and he walked forwards and said, "Kana-san... It'll be alright... Have you seen these things before?" He asked her, now his professional tone was taking over. However, it still held the softness that he'd aquired around her.

Still sobbing Kana shook her head. After a moment though she was able to raise her head her face tear streaked. "I...never like this. Sometimes when I would pass by here I would think I saw something dark but this is the first time anything was so clear and scary."
Lossing control of herself now Kana tugged at Hatori's sleeve looking so like a lost child in the woods just looking for some place safe to stay. It was a face that said it's owner needed physical comfort, and that probably made things bad for Hatori since there was nothing he could do about that. "What does it mean?" she asked still pulling on his sleeve and crying at the same time. "It's so scary and t feels like it's you that's getting hurt. Please Sohma-san please tell me. Please tell me so I don't have to be so afraid."

With the feeling that he would regret it later he told heronly the little facts he could, but, enough to answer her question to the point that he wouldn't be lying to her.
"That person was me and though I cannot explain why you are seeing these things I will tell you that what happened was long ago and it iss over. It was nothing terrible, I only lost my eyesight in my left eye." He explained softly. "At the time, it did hurt, along with many other things, but, it's alright. I'm fine now."

'You did it. It was all your fault.' Those twos hort sentences kept running through her mind. "But...but I barely know you Sohma-san. H-How could I have done anything like that to you. And why...why don't I remeber. Why is it only now I can remember a little. And why is it all so scary. Please, if you can Sohma-san, tell me everything. I need to know. I need to or I don't know if I can be able to handle hurting you. You're being so kind to me now. And to think I hurt you in the past. I don't know if I can take that."
With that Kana fell into sobs again not sure what she had been trying to get at. One thing she did know was she wanted the truth. She wanted to know exactly what happened and why and how.

"You were not the cause of my pain..." He straightened tensely and said, "Want to take a walk? We can discuss this as we walk." He told her simply.
He knew this would hurt her and him both, but, she had asked and it would have been rude to ignore her questions. Now that she could see some of the images clearly, it might be more haunting then knowing the entire story.

Still sobbing Kana nodded and slowly stood up to shaky feet. At once she almost losther balance but she was able to regain it before falling.
"Y-Yes please,l-lets." she said still shaken fromt he event. And worse yet the phrase 'It's all your fault.' was now shouting in her head making her want to cringe and cry. But Hatori was being strong so she had to be strong as well. Or at least try to.
"If...if it wasn't my fault...then who's was it?" she knew that Hatori was probably going to tell her everything anyway but she needed to make that voice in her head be quiet because it felt like it could drive her insane. It was that horrid. And besides that voice promised other dark pains she wasn't sure she could stand, at least not without help.
