Hi, sorry I've been kind of dormant. However, although you do not know, I've been spewing out different story ideas like blood from a very large, deep cut. I know it's slowing down the process of story completion but I have to get these down so I don't forget them, or worse, aquire a writing block for them, too. Well, you can read now.

"Goodbye, Tohru." Kyo, looking as handsome as ever, his hair flowing in the wind, in my eyes, at least, in his graduation gown, leaned down, capturing my lips tenderly in one passionate kiss, tears running down both of our faces, mixing into one, just like our lives had. As the little drops fell, they separated again, ripped apart by gravity as Kyo and I were about to be separated, forever, never to be joined again in the giant stream of life, or in this park, like the tears would ultimately do.
"Kyo, please don't leave me…" I reached out, trying to stop him as he walked away, away from me, from our life together. Oh how I wished destiny could have brought our souls together differently. Oh how I wished my only true love wouldn't have to leave me so early in this life.
He didn't stop, or respond. Kyo only hung his head; letting those striking orange locks I so adored covered his equally beautiful eyes. This was my last look at him. I had better make it last, even if I could barely see through the tears welling up in my eyes and escaping from them in great torrents that streamed down my face, pulling my carefully done make up with it.
"Kyo!" In desperation, I cried out, my voice cracking with grief and the obvious presence of tears horribly, starting forward with a sudden jerk. But something grabbed me from behind, looping up around my arms from under and behind, holding me back and onto something.
"Tohru-chan, don't! It hurts me, too, but we have to let Kyo go!" It was Kagura's voice that was whispered, also filled with tears, into my ear. She had come to say goodbye to Kyo, as well as to congratulate Yuki and I. I continued to struggle, screaming Kyo's name over and over. Akito smirked and grabbed Kyo's wrist, pulling him away faster than he wanted to trudge along.
"Tohru!" He turned around, reaching out as well. For a brief moment, our hands brushed, and then grabbed the other. But then, Akito called Hatori to help him with Kyo and, with much regret from the sea horse, Kyo was pulled out of my grasp and away into Hatori's van.
But Akito was old enough to drive now, so he whispered something to Hatori and climbed into the driver's seat, chuckling evilly. Hatori didn't get in, and only watched as Akito drove away.
I panicked in Kagura's grasp as I saw Hatori turn to me, remorse shining in his gray eyes. Slowly, he walked closer, and I tried to get away harder, struggling even more. But Kagura was strong, and I couldn't free myself. Tears rolled down my face as I tried to get away. I knew I couldn't succeed in doing so, not without losing the memories of my new family, the memories that I held so dear.
As my eyes darted around looking for a means of escape, they caught on something orange. It was Kisa, hiding behind a bush. Kisa! Maybe she could help me!
"Kisa, onegai, help!" The little tiger child only stood up from her crouching position and watched as Hatori drew nearer. Suddenly, Hiro crawled out from the same bush and stood beside her. "P-please?" No one made any move to stop Hatori or help me. I wasn't going anywhere soon.
"Honda-san, we're all here to say goodbye." Yuki stood beside me now, an apology written all over his face. Unexpectedly, the rest of the Zodiac made themselves visible. Even Kureno had appeared, just to say goodbye.
"Let go!" I screamed and kicked Kagura, my voice cracking again. She let go, and I went stumbling forward, falling to my knees. I stood up and started running, just to get away. Away from the sorrow. Away from the threats to my memories. Away from everything.
"Onee-chan!" Kisa's tear-filled voice called out, bringing back many memories, making me cry harder as I ran. So I ran faster, to escape the memories consuming my mind. I could hear my own footsteps drum perfectly in sync with my heartbeat. And then, with another set of footsteps that I suspected to belong to Yuki-kun. So again, I ran faster.
"Honda-san, watch out!" I didn't listen to the voice that should have stopped me. But I had blocked out all of their voices from my mind, trying not to collapse in tears. But that was a big mistake, a huge mistake. Because as I ran over one of the many small, rail-less bridges crossing the small stream running through the park, I slipped.
I didn't know what had happened, only that I was falling, falling, and falling. Then, my head collided with something very hard, wet, and spiky, and then I could feel lots of pain. As I felt the pain increase and something stick and warm trail down from my forehead, I sobbed. Not because of the pain my clumsiness had just gotten me, but because of all that was happening. Kyo was gone. My memories were to be taken away. I was losing all that I had loved, had cherished. And there was nothing I could do about it. I was like a little any with all of its legs pulled off, squirming in the shadow of an approaching sneaker, helpless
"Honda-san!" I heard the same footsteps that had been following me before come up beside me, and Yuki's fading face suddenly appeared over mine, staring down at me in worry.
"Nnn…." I whimpered as everything faded to black and the pain subsided, leaving me to peaceful unconsciousness.
