I do not own Hana Yori Dango or its characters. Also, I do not own the song featured here: "Say Goodbye" by Skillet.
Here's another Songfic of mine. I hope you'll enjoy it!
R&R please!!
The night was dim, but the moon and stars were bright, casting an illuminating glow on Tsukushi's porcelain skin. We stood side by side on my balcony, for what would be the last time until the next holiday. Tsukushi, stubborn as ever, wished to remain in Japan while I continued running the Doumyoji Corporation, here in New York.
"Tsukasa..." she murmured, breaking our comfortable silence.
"Yeah, Tsukushi?" I urged.
"I'm leaving."
"Silly girl...I knew that. How could I forget?" I replied rather sullenly, "Tomorrow morning, 9:00".
"No...Tsukasa, I...I'm leaving...you" she declared weakly. I froze.
She tugged my limp arm off of her shoulder and strode to the glass door leading to my bedroom. My eyes followed her retreating form, not believing ... refusing to hear. Pulling the door open, she stepped over the threshold and whispered
"Good Bye."
Things are changing
It seems strange and
I need to figure this out
After these 7 years, you've grown, I've grown. Your hair reaches the small of your back. The top of your head reaches my shoulder. We've both learnt to hold our tongues...we've both learnt to say what's needed, to say what we feel.
You've got your life
I got mine
Makino Tsukushi, the unconquerable lawyer. Just out of school, some thought her naive, but those accusations were quickly proved wrong. Her strong resolve of what is right and wrong and vibrant personality have brought her high in court. Japan is proud of this wholly successful woman. --Japan's Latest
Doumyouji Tsukasa, business demon, heir to the Doumyoji Corporation. Already, he has dominated the business world. His influence on his comrades is moulding a hard-working company, and his smarts and wit are creating a safer, more secure economy for Japan and America. --New York's Newest
But you're all I cared about
Yesterday we were laughing
Today I'm left here asking
Where has all the time gone now?
I'm left alone somehow
The door clicked shut. My mind clicked on.
"TSUKUSHI!"
I bolted for the door after her. Ripping it open, I ran as fast as I could. My eyes searched frantically for her petite frame; hoping that it was only a joke, that I would find her lying sprawled out on the couch, leisurely flicking channels on the TV.
But I didn't see her anywhere. She was gone, and I was alone.
Growing up and getting older
I don't want to believe it's over
"Tsukushi, come back!" I shouted hopelessly. Sinking to my knees I thought, I want to hold her and never let go. She should stay here, warm in my embrace. We should stay here together, locked away from the world. Away from work, from time, from responsibility - just her and me. Just you and me.
Don't say goodbye
'Cause I don't wanna hear those words tonight
'Cause maybe it's not the end for you and I
I promised I'd chase you. To the corners of the earth, to hell if needed. We'll work this out, we always do.
And although we knew
This time would come for me and you
Don't say anything tonight
If you're gonna say goodbye
I knew I was busy. You knew you were busy. And we knew that we were stuck. You in Japan, I in New York. But, I don't want it to end! I won't let it Tsukushi.
Do you remember
In December
How we swore we'd never change
Even though you're leaving
That our feelings
Would always stay the same
I remember, I remember any time I'm granted with you Tsukushi.
We were back on my balcony, it was Christmas day. This year has been particularly busy, we barely saw each other. Snowflakes twirled, glittered and danced in the sky. Your cheeks were flushed and your nose was red.
We made a promise then. One I will never forget. One I will always honour.
"Tsukasa...we'll be together forever, right?" you asked, your voice full of trust and warmth. You were so adorable.
I pulled you into my arms and whispered "Of course. It's a promise."
I wish we could be laughing
Instead I'm standing here asking
Do we have to end this now?
Can we make it last somehow?
We both know what we've gotta say, not today
Cause I don't wanna leave this way
I love you. No matter if the world forbids us time together – I'm Doumyoji Tsukasa.
I'll make it happen.
And if it's over
It hurts but I'm giving you my word
I hope that you're always
Happy like we were...
Tsukushi, I have determination. I know I'm simple and rash when it comes to what I want, but even I waver and hesitate. Will it really work? Can we really work? If it doesn't...if...then I want the best for you. I want you to be happy and vibrant. I want you to keep shining.
Happy like we were
At high school, on vacation, with the F4 and your slightly crazy family. We were so happy, you and me. We laughed, we fought, we bickered, we loved. I want it to continue. I want to go on like that. I don't care if the way I get it is selfish, I want to be happy.
Yesterday we were laughing...
Today I'm left here asking...
And although we knew this time would come for me and you
Don't say anything tonight
If you're gonna say goodbye
I picked myself up, wiped the tears off my face and pulled out my phone.
Ring, Ring
Ring, Ring
"Please leave a message after the tone"
Beep
"I love you. I won't give up. So, Tsukushi, don't Say Goodbye."
(I made up the magazines "Japan's Latest" and "New York's Newest")
Well, There it is! Reviews are greatly appreciated!
xD - Lotsa reviewers have been saying that this Songfic is So Sad, so I'm gonna extend this from a One-shot to story with a couple more chapters.
The next chapter will be of Tsukushi's reaction to receiving Tsukasa's short, simple and sweet message.
BUT remember this: Tsukasa NEVER gives up! Right?
--Thanks so much everyone!
