Kyo's thoughts on what happened to Tohru
I sadly do not own Fruits basket at all :(
If only
Deep crimson.
That was the colour of the sky as I sat watching on the roof, my signature place.
It was sunset now. Red stained the sky as the sun sank lower and lower. As I sat watching for a while longer, I saw the red drain out of the heavens, engulfed by the all- consuming darkness of the night.
Good. I used to love sitting up here, watching the sun go down with her right by my side.
But now, I hate it. It reminds me of blood...
It reminds me of her blood...
Tohru...
Scenes of the days earlier events flashed through my mind, laced with my sorrow.
Flashback
"T...Tohru...!" I stood before her, my entire body trembling with fear. I stumbled over to her and let my body crumple to the ground, grief overwhelming me.
My eyes roamed over the girl intently, silently taking in the sight of her broken, bruised body, limp as if she were a doll.
"Tohru..." I leaned over her fragile body carefully, afraid that I might break her further.
One hand rested on the damp forest floor as I gently laid my other hand on her perfect porcelain face.
"Kyo? I'm sorry..." Her eyes fluttered open for several seconds before closing again, drifting on the verge of consciousness.
Her sweet, apologetic voice echoed in my head. As I slowly pulled a strand of her lengthy brown hair, now thickly matted with her own blood, off of her face, a lone tear trickled down my cheek.
I had tried to hold it back, but I couldn't any longer. The dam broke instantly.
I let out a muffled sob as I buried my head in her neck, careful not to let our bodies touch so that I didn't transform.
Hot, wet tears flowed freely down my face as an intense feeling of sorrow erupted furiously in my chest, spreading quickly to the rest of my body, clouding my already unclear mind.
I pushed myself up with my hands, leaning over her once again. As the fear, the grief, the pain of the situation washed over me in waves, a sudden urge overcame me.
I couldn't resist it any longer. Thinking that I might never have another chance now, I leaned in swiftly and brushed my lips against hers gently, pouring all my love for her into that one small action, begging her to come back to me.
But there was no such luck.
End flashback
As I sat there on the roof, wind whipping gently around me, I wondered how the world could go on like this, as if nothing had happened. Everything that I live for, the sole reason for my existence... the woman I love... she could be cruelly taken away from me at any moment. Right now, she lay in the hospital, evading death for the time being... but her body was weak, she had lost a lot of blood. Anything could happen...
The feelings of love and pain that I felt earlier were now intensified by the longing I now also felt.
Longing to see her...
Longing to hold her...
'Crash'. The next thing I knew my fist was buried in a now shattered roof tile. I withdrew it furiously, paying no mind to the numerous angry red cuts residing on my hand.
My body began to shake again in despair as a new feeling cut into me deeply.
Regret. That was it, regret that I couldn't, no didn't save you. If only I had stayed with you instead of running away scared, or if I had even just gone back then you wouldn't be in this state, hanging onto life by a thread.
My throat tried to clench shut as a small sob escaped. This feeling, it quickly tore a gaping hole into my heart, leaving me raw and broken.
I stormed down the stairs miserably, going directly to my bed. I needed to see her desperately. But how long would I have to wait?
Hope you liked it ^_^ I'll probably do another chapter on when Kyo sees Tohru again but it really depends on if people like it or not so review please :)
