Chapter 1

My Wounded Heart

"Goodbye,"

Those words that were uttered into the listless day. He was truly leaving. Not just physically leaving this place, but leaving. Never would I be able to spend days with him. He would belong to another, and there was nothing that I would be able to do about it.

When I walked past his room, I felt so helpless. Why was it that I was such a fool as to believe that this happiness was going to be everlasting? Why had I believed so much in love?

As he walked to his car with the last of his belongings, I wanted to run after him. But I knew that nothing I could ever say was going to stop him from leaving. It was his destiny. And I was not in it. Another would take my spot as his partner in life and there was nothing I could do.

When he opened his car door and was about to get in, I couldn't take it anymore. I had to say something.

"Yuki," his name that I uttered into the silence was like gold to me, so precious that it hurt even just to say it.

He turned, his features illuminated by the sun. "Yes?" he tone was hurt, quizzical and almost foreboding.

"I…" my voice faltered. When I faced him like this, all the things that I ever wanted to say to him seemed to dissolve. "Have a nice trip," I managed to say.

He smiled a tight smile. "Yeah, thanks," he got into his car, started his engine, and slowly drove out of the driveway. All that I could see of him was a dark speck in the horizon. All the pain and the tears that I had been holding deep inside me seemed to come out all at once. I dropped to my knees feeling as if my whole world was crashing down. The only person that was my only condolence and light in my time of need was gone. I would never see him again. I cried out in pain and misery at the thought of my one and only love leaving me here to linger in the very place that I never wanted to see again.

As Yuki drove away from Tohru with feelings of regret and pain deep inside his heart. He knew that it was the right thing for him to do. He was saving her from all the pain that Akito's wrath would have brought upon her. She would come to understand. One day.

Seven Years Later

It was a Friday night. The bar was filled with happy couples and people who had come just to have some fun. Either way, there were voices of laughter and joviality, but none of it was felt by me. As I sat there having a cup of some scotch whiskey, I felt so miserable. There was just something about this day that just bothered me so much.

"Another bottle, if you don't mind," I said to the bartender.

"Don't you think you've had too much today?" he asked as he dried another cup of water.

"No, today I'm celebrating," I laughed softly to myself.

"Too bad your alone," he said with a smile.

"Yea, too bad I'm alone. All alone," I thought.

I had managed to stumble somehow into my apartment with the assistance of a taxi to get me to the building. As I laid my head on soft pillow, I knew what day this was. I knew why I was so cranky and miserable. It was the day that he left. I don't know why I still hadn't been able to forget him even after seven years had gone by. But, there was just something about the time that we had together that was unforgettable.

As much as I may have felt provoked by Akito, he was a part of his life that he couldn't forget. I was ready to accept Akito and any difficulties that she threw our way. But I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore.

Tears began to cloud my eyes as I thought about how things used to be when we were in our first year of college. We were the jealous of everyone at the university. Too bad we couldn't share that happiness for a lifetime.

"I WILL forget you, Yuki Sohma! I won't waste my life!" I yelled drunkenly at no one in particular all of a sudden. I drifted off into restless sleep mixed with thoughts of Yuki floating around.

Morning came around way too soon for my liking. On Saturday's, I liked to spend my day doing some shopping. Today felt like one of those days that I needed a major shopping spree. Around nine I went out and headed for the malls with coffee in hand and a fresh outlook on things to come. I was determined to lead a renewed life starting now. And everything started with a new wardrobe. That's what I had in mind. But, I guess everything doesn't go as planned. Who else could I have run into? It was none other than Yuki Sohma standing near the glass cases of the jewelry section.

I was completely oblivious to this at first, and I just happened to be admiring a necklace that had a tear shaped opal on the end of it. It had a pearly pink tinge to it, that made it look like a pink rose petal. I continued to browse through all of the different ornaments, and I walked right into Yuki. As much as I tried to get him out of my life, when it looks like I've just succeeded, he comes back.

"Oh, I'm sorry," I started. I looked into his face and saw his astonished expression.

I stood in a daze for a while, staring up at the fact that I had tried to hard to forget.

"Long time no see, I guess, right?" I smiled, trying to cover up the awkwardness of the situation.

"Yes, I suppose so," I saw a hint of what he was like before he left, but it was gone as fast as it came.

I put out a hand to brush a lock of hair out of my face. "Well, I guess I'd better be going. Nice seeing you," I gathered up my purse and briskly walked away from him.

"Wait," he turned and I knew that he wanted me to stay with him for a little while longer, but I knew that my heart would just melt, and all the hard work that I had put into it would just come crashing down again and I couldn't afford that.

Briefly, I turned around and searched my purse. "Here," I handed him a business card. "I'm Vice President of a new cosmetics company. Everything that you need to contact me are on this card. Maybe I'll see you sometime. I've got to run, I have to do some scanning of how the new line of long-lasting lip colors are coming along," I quickly made my escape into a women's restroom and I let out a long sigh of relief. At least I wouldn't lose contact with him this time. I took out my cell phone and scanned through the pictures until I had found the one with Yuki in it. I brushed a finger across his face. I smiled slightly before retrieving my stature and returning to the stores just awaiting my presence.
