He had always loved her. From the first moment that he had met the girl. She was kind to everyone, forgiving easily. But she loved another. The only one, the dumb one, the CAT! He didn't understand. He would only bring her trouble. Her endearing quality of giving someone a second, or even third chance; it wasn't going to be enough. Their "love" wouldn't survive. It was futile. But she was blind.

He watched her as she talked with Yuki. He ate the dinners she made, the ice-cream she bought him and everyone else. Of course, she cared for others before herself. This sometimes got into trouble, and then he worried. He would go to help, but it was usually too late to do anything, and thus never taken. Was it really his fault he got distracted easily? (A/N: ooh! Look! A chicken!) He tried to take care of her. He really did. He did part of her work, so she could be happy. He liked to see her bright smile.

It had only disappeared once. After he had been unable to keep quiet, and had told her how he felt. Her eyes dimmed a little, and she said she was sorry. She left work early that day, running away. As the door shut, he slid to the floor. His eyes became hot and blurry; and soon, tears started to fall. He really should get used to this rejection. Anyone he loved just turned away.

He was the Rabbit after all.

What do you think? You guys like? I hope so – it's my first fanfic. And my first attempt at a one-shot. Furuba, no less. R & R. Critique does not offend me; comments like "this sucks. You can't write!" will result in constant flaming and reports.
