Yoru

Greetings! I am Orangepencils and this is my first Sukisyo one-shot. I've watched the series twice, I've read a bit of the manga and finally last night around midnight, I got this bright idea. So enjoy!

Yoru

When I finally opened my eyes, all I could see was darkness around me. I was cold all over and I couldn't see. There was a heavy silence and I couldn't even hear my own breath. Where was I? Where was Yoru? Yoru, had he left me? I needed him in more ways than one. I needed to know that I still had someone left with me. I needed to feel his strong arms around my small shoulders, to feel his breath against my cheek, to hear his heart beat against mine. I wanted to feel his hands caress my body once more. I knew by now that I was no longer part of Sunao's mind, but for one last time I wanted to be with Yoru. I made my way to a small corner and sat down on the cold tilled floor. I brought my legs up to my chin and rested my cheek on my knees. I closed my eyes and tried to remember the short, but good times we spent together.

As I sat there by myself, basking in my memories, I could have sworn that I heard Yoru walking towards me. When I opened my eyes, I couldn't see anything. It was probably an evil trick that my mind was playing on me. Yoru and I were separated from each other. There was no possible way for us to be together ever again. Yet I could feel his presence next to me all of a sudden. How I wanted for him to hold me in his strong arms and tell me that everything would be alright.

"Don't worry Ran, I'm here now. You won't be alone anymore. Everything will be alright." I could feel his arms around my shoulders and his warm breath against my ear. He pulled me close to his body and I knew that it was all an illusion. It was too much of a coincidence for him to be doing exactly what my mind and body yearned for. Even though I knew this was all in my head, I couldn't help but feel slightly overjoyed knowing that Yoru was here with me once more.

"Ran, please don't cry. You know it pains me to see you suffer so." He kissed me tenderly on my lips and I knew that it was just a bittersweet memory from the past. But even if I knew it was so, I would bathe in this illusion a little longer. Knowing that at least in my mind I could be with Yoru.

Suddenly I felt him move. He sat behind me and made sure that my back was resting on his chest. With his strong arms he provided warmth to my shivering body.

"You'll never be cold again, Ran. I'll always keep you warm." I allowed myself to smile once more as I rested my head on my illusion, still wondering where Yoru was.

THE END

Now the question remains, was it really Yoru, or was it really an illusion? Oh the mystery! I used to write a lot of tragic, dark fics last year and then I went back to happy, but this is in the dark tragic category. At least now I shift between both. Well then, I hope you enjoyed and please tell me what you think. I like feedback from fellow readers and authors!
