Hiya! Here is a drabble about Katsuya's last thoughts, like Kyoko had in volume 23. Why am I doing this? This was inspirewd while thinking of a good question Hiro asked Tohru in volume 10 about her father. This'll hopefully, in a way, explain that ^^ Here we go

I lay here, I'm sweating

my head is pounding, it feels like a hot haammer is hitting me from the inside of my for head.

I hear voices, they all have at least a little panic in them, some have very little,others have alot . . .

I wonder what their faces look like? I can't see anything, the pain I feel has blinded me. My body is shaking as if it was cold,

but I've never felt hotter

It feels like I've lost control of my body, it's a struggle to simply breathe

I still feel numb,but this a weirdkind of numb. Where my hands are, I feel like theres nothing there, same with my legs and my feet.

Slowly

I find this same feeling is reaching other places in my body

I'm finding it harder to think . . .

Am I dying?

I am . . .aren't I?

I take a deep breath, I find it to be a very difficult task

Yes, this must be the end . . .

Kyoko, I'm sorry to have to leave such a burden on you . . .

Thank you . . .for filling my life with genuine happiness . . .

For being so human and unashamed

You'll raise Tohru well

I've now lost my ability to picture Kyoko.

Kyoko, I know how hard it is

To be left behind . . .

but please try to bear it,

for Tohru's sake . . .

Tohru . . .

I'm not sure you'll ever hear this but,

I love you.

I know Kyoko will tell you that for me.

I'm sorry

Leaving you now is the worse thing I could do . . .

Or is it the best?

You barely know me now,

and you'll probably forget most of those memories in a couple of years. Those are the hardest fragments, the most painful fragments

to have you hold.

I'm glad you'll be able to drop those fragments soon.

Please rememer,

You aren't alone.

Mommy is with you, mommy is strong

Mommy will protect you

Mommy will make you happy, mommy will love you

I'll protect you and love you.

Just promise me Tohru . . .

Promise me two things.

Promise me you won't think of me when it hurts to do so, I don't want you to cry any more than youneed to.

and promise me, that,

you'll keep your smile

The smile that warms everyone's hearts

The one that gives you all peace

May you and mommy stay together for a very long time,

may it be full of happiness

Repwat the good,

and the bad.

Do it all,

and pile up the years.

I now find myself in a different dimension . . .

A quiet, familiar voice suddenly reaches my ear

'Katsuya?' it says. I look back, and although it's been so very long since I've seen it,instinct tells me that this indeed

was my mother.

she was a little shorter than me now.

She approaches me

she offers a hand

it's time to go

I am not afraid.

All is well . . .

Super long! Sorry! Well this is it. . .I wonder if you liked it? I hope so! Please review! (Honestly)
