AN: well, first of all, I was just listening to IN the End, and I was looking at Nuriko picture… . put 2 and 2 together...yah. I'm not much of an alternative person, but IN the End TOO GOOD!PLEASE have heart and review!I put this in 4-lined version, so just skip the FY parts for the whole song. I know im a hypocrite for doing Nuriko/Hotohori, but oh welL!

Lyrics by: mirai no jennyfur. Read her fics too! (if the lyrics are wrong, tell it to her, not me. ^.^ me so nice.)

In the end...

By: fire demoness

It starts with one thing /I don't know why

it doesn't even matter how hard you try.

Keep in mind /I designed this rhyme

To explain in due time

I groaned softly as my body collapsed onto the soft white snow in front of me. I couldn't think...the pain was overiding any sensible thoughts and all I could do was mutter out some words and glance up at the sunlight...then, my thoughts focused. On one thing. One word. One person.

//Hotohori-sama...//

all I know

time is a valuable thing

watch it fly by as the pendulum swings

watch it count down to the end of the day

the clock ticks life away

its so unreal

I had only been with Miaka and the others for so long, now it was to come to an end, and you aren't even here...Hotohori-sama...after all the long hard times spent in the harem, wishing that you'd NOTICE me. Then when Miaka came. Nothing helped. Should I be mad that you went to chase Miaka? Maybe, but then again, I loved you too much for that...

didn't look out below

watch the time go right out the window

trying to hold on/but didn't even know

wasted it all just to

watch you go

time is passing so slowly now, everything seems to be still. I hear my own heartbeat slowing down...

I kept everything inside even though I tried/It all fell apart

What it meant to me/Will eventuall be a memory/Of a time when

I think that some part of you knew that I loved you, and that you loved me back. Heh. But then again, I'm a man. There's no denying it. If things were different, would you love me then? If I were a simple man, not a seishi.if you weren't emperor of Konan, just a simple man. The soft blanket of snow feels so soft and light around me...my eyes cant...focus...

(chorus #1)

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall

to lost it all

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

It's so hard, trying to stay from unconsiousness...I loved you, I really did. I tried to make you happy. Was it for nothing? I can see the blood seeping through my own fingers now. I wish you were here with me. I wish you could comfort me...

One thing/I don't know why

It doesn't even matter how hard you try

Keep that in mine/I designed this rhyme

To remind myself how

I got so far

My breathing is slowing down. Does it really help to think of you? There's no way I can make it back, but I admit-it feels so much better to focus on you, instead of that hole...I hear Miaka's voice...or is that just my imagination?

In spirt of the way you were mocking me

Acting like I was part of your property

Remembering all the times you fought with me/I'm surprised

It got so [far]

Miaka's face is staring down at me...how I wish it were you instead. Tamahome's here...some part of me wishes Mitsukake were here, some part of me says "you'll live" but...i fear that part of me is wrong...

things arent the way they were before

you wouldn't even recognize me anymore

not that u knew me back then but it all comes back to me

in the end

I smile faintly as i take my last breath...i can only hope that some part of you realizes how much you meant to me...take care...

I kept everything inside

and even though I tried

it all fell apart

what it meant to me will eventually be a memory

of a time when I

my hands are see-through, a milky white color. I am...floating? below me I hear Tasuki's yell... I see everyone...Tasuki,Chiriko, Tamahome, chichiri, Mitsukake- how ironic, just not the one I wished to see the most-you. A few more minutes and I could have lived. But this was my destiny. Destiny? To be away from those I loved? Sometimes I wonder that goes on in Taiitsukan's head...

I tried so hard

And got so far

but in the end

it doesn't even matter

I had to fall

to lose it all

but in the end

it doesn't even matter

I know I can't stay long...but there's just one more thing...just one. no one can hold me back from doing this...

I put my trust in you

Sat as far as I can go

For all this only one thing you should know

I put my trust in you

Pushed as far as I can go

For all this

there's only one thing you should know

I tried so hard

And got so far

But in the end

It doesn't even matter

I had to fall to lose it all

But in the end it dioesnt even matter

(end song)

I see you there. Do you notice me?This is so strange, but it feels so right. I don't even know if you feel my hollow hug...it doesn't matter. I just hope you hear my last words...

"ashiteru...hotohori-sama..."

~*OWARI*~

*bashes head with baseball bat* AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! None of this is GOOD WRITING! *sniffle*I no good with songfics. No wait, there *IS* the fic I prize above the others...a songfic "family portrait" PLEASE read that!! It has WAY better writing than this piece of...whatever.

(oh yah, Hotohori didn't "mock" Nuriko or fight or anything like that, btw)
