Mending Your Heart and Crushing Mine

Chapter One

This is just a side note for all the people who haven't read my Profile Update. All my other stories are on hold till I finish this one and its sequel. Sorry about that but I want my full attention on Fruits Basket.

Also as a note to the chapters ahead, all the italic text are the persons' thoughts. Most of them will just Haru and Hiroe. Well I hope you enjoy the first chapter of "Mending Your Heart and Crushing Mine". And reminder: This Story will take a longggg time. It is my first real project that I'm taking seriously and making each chapter each at least four pages. So please enjoy. -

Haru POV

All around me were swirling pastel colors and the scent of roses all around me. I hadn't been this relaxed, happy, and free since she disappeared from my reach. It was so calming just not to focus even for a couple of minutes. Not to focus on her.

"Haru"

My insides froze and my lungs felt as if they stopped. It was her. Her voice. Her warm, light, beautiful voice.

"Haru" she spoke again

I turned around and saw her. I couldn't even speak. The pastel colors around us made her even more beautiful. She was wearing a blue kimono and had her long hair up. She lifted her arms up, signaling me to come closer. I started to walk to her but as I walked it seemed like I was getting no where. The pastel colors also seemed to be pushing us away from each other. I started to run as I saw her getting farther. But she was still so far, out of my reach to hold.

"Rin" I shouted with all my might

She looked back at me with angry eyes.

"Haru, help me, you promised you would protect me, you lied to me" her voice turned into a deeper and ominous voice.

I tripped to the ground as her words took their effect. She was right I had failed her. Even when after everything, Torhu, Akito, and the curse being lifted, I stilled failed her.

"But I tried," I whispered "I tried, I tried, Rin I really did" I screamed louder with each word.

I got up and ran to her before the pastel colors would take her again and grabbed her hand to pull her in to my arms. I closed my eyes to imagine what would happen next. I would hold her and never let go. I would hug her tp protect her, to smell her sweet scent, to make myself feel safe once more. But I didn't feel anything; I didn't feel her warm body, or her arms hugging me. I looked around and only saw the pastel colors turning darker and crueler.

"No, Rin you can't leave like that, I'm sorry, Rin come back" I screamed hoping she could some how hear me.

Third POV

Haru woke up in cold sweat on his fore head and panting, as if out of breath. He looked around; he was in his room, not in that horrible dream that haunted him every night since the accident. Even though they haunted him everyday, he never got used to the acid feeling in his lungs afterwards.

"It was just a dream, it wasn't real" he said out loud, hoping it sounded better. It didn't

He lay down once again and sighed. It had been almost 6 months since Rin a pushed into an abyss of darkness and silence. The local newspaper said that she had fallen from a four story apartment, by accident. But he knew the truth. She was pushed down the building forcefully. He got up in frustration and walked toward his window. It was already sunrise. The Sohma's view of the sunrise was one of the reasons he even stayed in the main house. The sun was a light pink and slightly above it was darkness. Another day was beginning. Another day was beginning without her.

Hiroe's POV

It was a beautiful day to begin with. But it today was not supposed to be beautiful. It is supposed to be raining and cloudy. Just like how I feel. Thought Hiroe Rhee

She looked up and saw Karibra High. Its windows were glistening and she heard laughing all around. She tightened her fists and started walking. Even though she had only been there for three months. She wasn't used to the environment or she forced herself not to be. She hated the school. She hated that she had to leave wonderful, blissful, quiet France for this, modern, loud, Japan.

"Oh, look who it is girls, its Miss. Mute"

Hiroe tensed considerably and turned around. It was her. In her little too short skirt and way too much makeup. Mimi Shogunate and two of her little minions were standing across from her in all their arrogance.

Great Miss. Dumb blonde is here with her little friends. Thought Hiroe. May be if I walked away she leave me alone just for today, maybe she can shut her mouth just for today.

"What are you wearing, jeans and a skirt, your such an ugly wannabe, trying to act cool." Said Mimi cruelly

She looked down at herself.

Am I really that ugly she thought.

They always found new ways to undermine her confidence. First it was her unusual pale blue eyes, and then it was her refined Japanese, now her physic. Hiroe turned around and started to walk, hoping for the best and praying that fate would be on her side. But fate was not on her side today, it never was.

"Hey I'm talking to you, what are you deaf too" hissed Mimi she walked toward Hiroe. She forcefully turned Hiroe around. She raised her hand up and without any sign of hesitation. All Hiroe heard was smack and a thud and pain on her left cheek. On the ground Hiroe's eyes widened as if her brain just received the information that she had been struck down. Her mind was trying to figure out how to react or what to do. She had never been more confused, physically in her entire life.

The physical sting is bearable but what hurt the most was that Mimi, as human didn't even hesitate when she struck me as if I was nothing important. As if I was an empty existence in life itself. Her words have never hurt like this, only ache.

"What do you think you are doing, Mimi Shogunate!"

Hiroe turned to the source of the voice and saw in a distance a group people, running towards her and Mimi.

Are the here to help me? Who are those people?

So????. Was it okay? Please review with criticism or rewards, but no flames please. I am right now so totally obessed with Fruits Basket. I won't update till i get ten reviews. so you guys better review. ㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎㅎ or for you non koreans hehehehehehe.

P.S. Karibra High is the High school that the characters from Furuba go to. I think that is the name. I found it on the manga. Hopefully it is right.
