Disclaimer: I do NOT own Goo Goo Dolls Lyrics in any way, and I don't own Fruits Basket…just to clear any sneaking suspicions…
A/N
And behold, a new story is created. Though it is based on the song by the Goo Goo Dolls, Iris, I have changed each verse into a little one-shot of its own. Hopefully, this becomes a good and well written story. As I have read my previous Fruits Basket fan-fiction's…and wholly decided, that my writing style has improved a great deal in description and grammar alike.
Enjoy!

Who I Am
Part One
I'd give up forever to touch you
Kyo stared with open eyes at Tohru's retreating form, his eyes threatening to spill with boiling tears. Things always happened this way, it seemed in life. The things he wanted to love the most were always the ones furthest from reach, impossible to grasp. Every time he saw her, a driven feeling deep inside of his head erupted, and a single thought imploded into his brain. He loved her…
"Please come back…"
He spoke with a dying whisper…that pleaded for existence…in her presence…
He wanted her, he needed her, and most of all, he loved her. There it was, he just broke the string, rule# 1, monsters never fall in love with the magical maiden, no matter how horribly corrupted and twisted the story got. But, still...there might be chance...that she might accept him...though he highly doubted she would give him the acceptance he requested. No matter what though...he would keep on hoping, reaching, for that one pinpoint that deemed itself impossible to reach.
She turned around and smiled at him, a sincere smile, and full of love for the one who wasn't supposed to even begin to comprehend the definition of such a word. The thing was; he did, more than people who were allowed to understand what love was. He understood it, meaning and all, in fact, he didn't just understand it. He practically lived it.
Some people claimed Kyo and Tohru as an…"Object". They were more then that, they were the image of love. Love was more then touches, than heated kisses in the rain, love was something purely indescribable. Love was a sacrifice, a breaking of the rules, a complete devotion to the other ones heart and soul. Their love was forever… Still, when a pact of love was made, touching was allowed…though, in their rare case of love…touching deemed impossible from all angles.
She kissed him, in front of a window that was situated in the hospital room he was accommodating at the time. The Tubes attached to his arms, seemed more brutal to her eyes than any curse could be. He was dying…because, Akito had told him a simple lie…
A lie was all it took to end a life…Akito seemed to grasp the concept rather well, considering her own circumstances…. Telling Kyo that the curse would be gone if he died…if he killed himself…
It would never be gone…
"Tohru…I love you…you know that right?"
A confused look spread throughout her porcelain features, His eyes still brimming from the tears that had threatened to shed themselves just minutes before. A soft look from her eyes invited his lips in for another passionate, heated kiss.
They broke apart and her red swollen lips spoke, quaking slightly from the effect he had upon her.
"I love you of course…"
"Good…"
…He lay on the white sheets…and pulled the tubes out of his arms…out of his chest…his eyes dull and turning a gray/blue color. The beeping of his life support machine was growing frantic in sound, and his body convulsed momentarily. She sobbed and fell to the floor, limp like a torn doll. Tears blurring her blinding vision, pupils growing large and then tiny and a vastly growing rate.
"Don't…don't…I love you…do you not-"
A soft but roughly calloused hand brushed her cheek, and she looked at his face; it was surprisingly calm. Even though he stared death smack in the face…
"Tohru…."
Her sobs racked her pale body, as she stood up and managed to sit on his bed, metal springs giving out squeaks of protest. He managed one last movement before falling down on the white rumpled sheets.
His lips brushed her own…giving her all the love he could, without speaking…Then he fell…his hand staying in place, slowly caressing her cheek, trying, attempting to reassure her that everything was okay.
"Tohru…"
Sobbing threatened the silence between them…
His hand fell, cold and limp, but his lips still moved, words coming out barely audible, she held his hand in sheer desperation, tears falling onto his skin.
"You know…I'd give up forever to touch you…"
Then he smiled. The last movement he ever made…
But it was true, he did give up forever, and he fulfilled his wish…he had touched her, kissed her, and caressed her skin…in the last moments…
Before forever ended…
The End
A/N
