Lost Without You

Disclaimer: I wish I owned Fruits Basket...I wish I were Natsuki Takaya...

Kyo: If wishes were horses beggars would ride...sheesh.

Audley: I don't own Kyo either...but I love him so much that I won't think up original lines for him because his are already so great...and I really REALLY wish I owned Kyo...

Kyo: And if wishes were horses...AGH! Nevermind!

Audley: See what I mean? I borrowed from book 9. Mostly.

I'm lost without you, Rin.

No—seriously.

I'm lost without you—you were the one who showed me where everything is.

You know how bad my sense of direction is. I'm like a compass without a needle.

You were my needle. You would point me in the right direction—to my house, the bathroom, the door. If it weren't for you, I'd still be lost in the proverbial 'paper bag' that I can never seem to find my way out of. You helped my find my way.

Yuki used to help me. He showed me the way to my heart.

Kyo helped me too. He showed me the way to channel my rage. He also showed me to the bathroom.

But they're busy now. They've got Honda-san.

So that leaves you, Rin.

Being in love is like going in the right direction—for me, a miracle. Hatori says being with another person makes you feel so much more alive.

I know what he means.

Being with you makes me feel so alive—so powerful. I love you, Rin. And the knowledge that you loved me too courses through my veins in a fiery passion. It inspires me. It lights up my way.

It illuminates things for me—makes them so much clearer.

So I never go the wrong way. I can never make a wrong turn.

When we're together, Rin, there is no wrong direction.

There is only love.

I'm lost without you, Rin.

I love you. I know you love me.

So...come back to me.

Author's Notes: So...yeah. I don't think this is very in character for Haru, but I can't help it! I'm not good at Haru—he's so damn hard—but I had to write this. Drabble fairies—they won't leave me alone!

And this isn't a one-shot, in case you were wondering. It's a three part series—all about the clichés of being lost and stuff. The next one is 'Lost In You,' and the last one is 'Lost With You.' You see? Oh, and all Haru/Rin. I love them.

I did the absolute best I could. So please! Review and let me know!

PS: These were fairly short author's notes, weren't they? Wow...
