The Shooting Star That Destroyed Us All
A star up in the sky
A Poem to the dead
Let this mistake bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
Kyo's eyes frantically wandered from student to student. He had not seen her all day, except for briefly in one of his classes. But he needed to see her again, he need to gaze upon her face one more time before he went home. Suddenly out of the corner of his eye he saw her. She was just standing by herself, probably waiting for Uo and Hana.
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice
A smile tugged at his lips as he looked at her, she was so beautiful. One look that's all it took, one look and he felt all his problems go away. But as watched her, an immense feeling of sorrow washed over him. Looking would not be enough today, he needed to talk to her. He took a deep breath and began to walk over to her. Suddenly he felt some grab his shirt, He turned around and saw Yuki.
"Kyo, don't do this, it will only make things worse."
A star up in the sky
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
Kyo removed his hand "I don't care; I can't take it anymore. I want her back, I need her back."
"I know Kyo, I do to, but you remember what Akito said, we can't talk to her. She has to be dead to us. Please, I don't want Tohru to suffer."
Kyo looked turned around and looked at her one last time. This time she was with Uo and Hana they talked for a little bit and walked away. Kyo bit his lip in an attempt to fight the tears that came to his eyes
So drain out my lungs
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice
Yuki placed a hand on his shoulder
"Let's go home."
Kyo sighed and nodded slightly, the two began the long walk home. Kyo's mind began to wander. He remembered all the times they shared together, both as friends and as lovers. But the thought that stood out the most, was the day when he lost her forever.
LET ME WALK
ON HIGH WIRE
OF RUSTY NAILS
Flashback
Hatori's hand slowly came off of Tohru's head and slumped to his side. His whole body began to tremble, and a single tear fell from his face. He put a hand over his face as more tear He looked over at Akito who had a smile of satisfaction on his face.
"Your work here is done, leave her with me. And remember; if anybody from this house tries to have contact with her, they'll be banished from the family and I'll make her suffer."
WHILE BAREFOOT
SHEDDING
THE FLESH OF OUR EXISTENCE
Hatori looked down at the now sleeping Tohru. And immense feeling of guilt washed over him. He clutched his chest as he felt his heart break. Soon she would awaken, but never again would she be the same Tohru Honda they all knew and love. Never again would she look upon the Shoma's, and see the people whose lives she changed forever. He took one last look her and walked out the room.
I DON'T WANT ANYBODY TO FALL
He walked to the front entrance where the Kyo, Yuki, and Shigure were waiting. Shigure slowly approached him, his eyes red from crying
"Is she…"
Hatori didn't respond and just walked past him.
A STAR UP IN THE SKY
A poem to the dead
Let this mistake bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
Kyo ran up to him and pinned him against the wall "YOU COLD-HEARTED SON OF A BITCH, HOW CAN YOU JUST ACT LIKE NOTHINGS HAPPENED!"
Hatori didn't even struggle; he just looked him in the eye. Kyo's eyes then opened wide as he saw his tears.
"Kyo… please…"
Kyo slowly let go of him and fell to his knees.
SO DRAIN OUT MY LUNGS
Before the fluid brings a choke
I can not inhale the sparkle of your voice
Kyo fists clenched, he let out a yell and began to pound on the floor. Yuki rushed to his side in an attempted to stop him from hurting himself.
"KYO, YOU HAVE TO STOP!"
Kyo Struggled against his grip "NO! LET ME SEE HER, I HAVE TO SEE!"
Yuki wrapped his arms around him tighter; tears began falling from his eyes.
"Kyo… she's gone…"
Kyo stop struggling and slumped into Yuki's arms crying.
Yuki loosened his grip and held him "It's going to be okay… I'm here for you."
End Flashback
THE MORE I TRY
THE MORE I LOSE
BUT TODAY
REMEMBER ME
Tears fell freely from his face as he walked into the house. He didn't even acknowledge Shigure who was on the computer; he just walked upstairs and into his room.
Shigure looked at Yuki "Is he gonna be alright?"
"I don't know... he tried to talk to her today. I managed to stop him, though I can't blame him for trying."
Shigure nodded "Neither can I, but all the same keep your eyes on him, I don't want him to so something foolish."
"I will," He started to walk up stairs but paused for a second "Shigure did Akito every say why did this?"
But today
Remember me
But today
YOUR EYES
Shigure sighed "In truth I don't know, but does it matter anymore."
Yuki looked down "I guess not… I'll be upstairs, let me know when dinner gets here."
Shigure nodded "I will," Yuki turned around and began to walk away "Yuki"
He turned around and looked at Shigure "What is it?"
He paused for a second unsure of what to say "I miss her."
Yuki's eye softened, a tear rolled down his cheek "I know." He turned around and walked to his room.
Your eyes,
They shine
Your eyes
Shigure slumped back into his chair, a feeling of guilt in his stomach. He knew the reason and he cursed Akito for it. He never wished death upon anybody, but he couldn't wait until Akito passed away. At least then he would never make them suffer again. Shigure went back to working on his next novel. But as he typed, he began to remember the events of that day.
YOUR EYES
THEY SHINE
YOUR EYES
Life at the Shoma house had been going great. For once there had been peace and stability. Tohru was busy making the family dinner, Shigure was scheming on his next great prank to play on Mimi, and Yuki and Kyo were no longer fighting. In fact they were actually talking to each other. Everything was just perfect. But then Akito had summoned them all to the Main house.
YOUR EYES
THEY SHINE
YOUR EYES
Akito had grown tired of Tohru's attachment with the family. In his eyes, she was tearing the family away from his control. So he gave them an ultimatum; either her memory was to be erased, or they would all be banished from the family. But each one made it perfectly clear to him that they would rather be removed from the family them lose Tohru. But right before Akito was going to have them all banished, Tohru stepped in. She pleaded too Akito to keep them in the family, and in return she would allow her memories to be erased. all that she asked was for a chance to say good bye
YOUR EYES
THEY SHINE
YOUR EYES
YOUR EYES
Shigure stopped typing and ran a hand through his hair. He then slowly stood up and walked over to the window. As he peered outside he saw the spot where he first me Tohru. As he reminisced over their first conversation, tears fell down his face.
"Tohru… I wish you were back with us…"
Your eyes
They shine
Your eyes
Yuki walked up to the roof to join Kyo. Kyo didn't even acknowledge him as he sat down next to him. They both sat in silence as they watched the sun start to go down.
"Kyo are you going to be alright?"
Kyo shook his head "I need some time to myself."
Yuki placed a hand on his shoulder "I can't imagine the pain you must be going through right now. But trust me; solitude does nothing to help the pain. Kyo I'm your friend… and I'm going to help you through this."
WALKING HOME
STREET LIGHTS GO OUT
Kyo closed his and smiled slightly "I'd never thought I'd hear something like that come out of your mouth."
Yuki patted him on the back "Come on let go for a walk."
Kyo nodded, they got up and hopped off the roof to the ground below, they then started walking down the path.
WALKING HOME
STREET LIGHTS GO OUT
The two walked in silence as the day began to turn to night. Kyo paused for a moment to admire the setting sun. Yuki looked at him, trying to figure just what was running through his head.
"Kyo, what are you thinking about?"
Kyo just glanced at the ground "I don't know, there are just too many things running through my mind right now."
"You want to see her don't you?"
A star up in the sky
A poem to the death
Let this mistake bring a vivid crystal to her eyes
Kyo looked at him, eyes pleading "I can't go on like this, I need her back. I know what Akito said, and I know she won't remember me, but I don't care. I need to talk to her; I want to hold her, I want her to say my name again, but more than anything… I want her to look at me the way I remember."
Yuki felt his eyes soften "I'm not going to stop you."
SO DRAIN OUT MY LUNGS
Before the fluid brings a choke

By now the sun had set and the night sky shown down upon them. Yuki and Kyo gazed at the stars for a bit before walking back to the house. As they walked Kyo's thoughts went to Tohru.
"Tohru, I promise you, we will be together again. And this time no one, not even Akito will stop me from loving you."
