Bloom

Disclaimer: I still do not own Fruits Basket and I do not wish to anyway 'cause if I did then there wouldn't be a Furuba 2. XD Gah! Can't wait! I don't own the song Bloom either. It's from the Get Backers OST.
Author's Notes: I'm already warning everyone this is going to be… really sappy. Kinda unusual for me but I'm sure I can pull it off. Oh yeah, I was inspired by the BGM of Bloom from the Get Backers OST as said above.
Oh yeah, this is going to be a Kyoru fic.
Chapter One: Dawn
The cool spring breeze blew to the east causing the trees and its branches to sway ever so lightly. The falling cherry blossoms joined with the wind's elegant dance, fluttering by the young couple, snuggled closely beneath the tree.
The girl let out her hand, smiling as a few petals brushed against her delicate fingers. "Aren't the cherry blossoms lovely?"
The boy brought her closer to his chest, his arms circling her small, petite frame. He ran his hand through her hair, talking back in hushed tones. "Ssh. Don't speak."
Her smile grew as she nuzzled her head against him. "It's okay." She tugged on his wrist and locked her fingers with his. "You don't need to worry. I'm all right," she said, her voice low.
A long moment of silence hung between the two. They just sat there quietly watching as the trees continued their rustling and the flowers as they fell lightly to the grassy floor.
The girl broke the silence. "Isn't this where we first met?" Her companion remained silent, simply nodding in reply. She giggled softly. "I was still afraid of you at the time. But I am definitely glad to meet you."
He let out a chuckle, squeezing her hand. "Does this mean you aren't afraid of me anymore?" He asked jokingly.
She shook her head. "Of course not."
The girl shifted her position, tucking her head directly beneath her companion's chin. Her eyes began to flutter close, her breath slow and even.
A light shake harred her back into consciousness.
"Not yet. Just a little longer."
She blinked but decided to listen to the request. It was rare that they had moments like these to themselves. She wanted to make sure it would last… no matter what.
"Is this really the inevitable?" He asked. He wanted… needed reassurance. He wanted to hear it from her.
"It seems so," she replied, her eyes closing agin.
He hugged her tightly. "No. Don't."
"I'm sorry."
A peaceful look etched onto her features as she closed her eyes and drifted of to sleep.
A lone tear slipped from the corner of the samurai's eye, sliding off his cheek and onto his lover's face.
No. Not yet.
Don't leave me.
Please.
Don't…
To be continued…
Author's Notes: I know it was short but I promise that the next chapter will be longer. I hope it turned out okay.
