A/N: I deleted a verse from the song, I couldn't think of anything to go with it, so it got deleted. Hehe! . This is gonna be a songfic with all of the relationships from everyone's fav. Fruits Basket! So if you've got any suggestions. I've already got a song for Hatori and Kana so any others would be very much appreciated!
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you
Two kids, so madly in love…can their love ever be? Can they ever find a way to transcend the pain driven into their lives by Akito?
"Haru…could you…make me a promise?" Rin asked Haru sheepishly.
"Anything for you Rin," he replied tightening his grip on her waist as her hair flew wildly in the winter winds.
"Never mind…it's stupid…" she sighed relenting any confidence she had in her own self.
Rin pushed herself away from Haru and started to walk away.
"It was so stupid…he wouldn't have promised it to me anyway…" her mind convinced herself as she found her way to a bench nearby.
Out of the corner of her eye she saw 2 toned monochromatic hairs sweep by her and embrace her shivering body again.
"What was the promise?" Haru whispered his breath becoming misty as it reached Rin's ear lobe.
"It's nothing…" she lied shaking her head.
"No…it was something," Haru urged her to speak but the stubborn Rin won't admit anything until she's backed up into a corner.
"It's nothing!" she yelled shoving Haru from her grasp.
Small icy flakes began to coat raven hair as the owner's face found a new way to look pissed and hurt all at once.
"What's wrong?" Haru asked picking up on Rin's hurt look.
"No one keeps promises anyway! Why obligate Haru to 'keep' this promise?" Rin thought of her parents and friends as this thought was born in her head.
She stormed away, her body becoming weaker by the moment. The world spun around her, too fast for her to catch it. Rin's lids were made of lead, too hard to stay awake, just easier to sleep in the falling snow. Her body fell into the snow below her.
As years go by
I race the clock with you
but if you died right now
you know that I'd die too
I'd die too
"Rin wake up…please wake up…" Haru begged shaking her unconscious body gently.
Rin stirred slightly but then slipped into a dead winter sleep. Frantically Haru scooped Rin up into his arms and ran to the bench where Rin became so cold at.
"Please wake up…Please just open your eyes! Don't leave me here!" Haru pleaded again.
"I'll take her to Hatori's house! Yeah! He's a doctor he can fix her!" Haru's mind decided.
Haru was usually a calm collected person, despite his black side, and when Rin was in danger he was reduced to this, a frantic, juvenile wreck.
It was quite a walk from the park to Hatori's house, but it was a walk that Haru was willing to make to save Rin from the cold.
You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does
"Rin…can you hear me?" a foggy voice entered Rin's dreams and shaking her into immediate alertness.
She sat up so fast she fell back down from lack of energy. Her body was far too weak for such stressful acts. Before Rin could figure out what happened Haru was holding her tightly and thanking "god" for saving Rin.
"What's going on?" Rin asked looking more confused than she had ever.
"You fainted at the park," Haru explained dotting her face with kisses.
Rin looked over Haru's shaking body at Hatori who was sitting in his chair mixing 3 cups of coffee for himself and his shivering teen visitors. He made his way to another chair closer to the bed Rin was currently occupying.
We'll make the same mistakes
I'll take the fall for you
I hope you need this now
Cause I know I still do
"Rin, you need to take things easy," he started by handing the cups to the 2 kids. "Your body can't take many more of these episodes."
"Then, Doc, what do you propose I do?" Rin asked sarcasm heavy in her voice.
"Don't go outside, for one," he replied ignoring the sarcasm.
"For two?" she might as well been branded with 'sarcastic' on her forehead.
"Don't stress yourself out."
"Or else…" Rin added smirking at her comment.
"Or else you could get hospitalized," he threatened stabbing Rin's fear for hospitals at its heart.
"Oh, so scary, a hospital! I'm shaking in my boots!" she exclaimed covering the fear with yet more sarcasm.
"Don't act like this…" Haru said looking down at her as he sipped his coffee.
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
"Then what do you suggested we do?!" Rin exclaimed standing up and soon falling because her body rebelled against her movements.
Haru caught her and laid her back on the bed.
"Keep you safe." He suggested giving her a disapproving look.
"Fuck that!" Rin retorted feeling helpless as he said this.
Being the complex creature Rin is she didn't want help, because with help it meant you couldn't handle it, therefore making you helpless. Helplessness….no, no way no how was Rin Sohma going to be wilted away into a helpless dependant boy obsessed teenager!
"What is with this? We love each other! You need to learn how to accept help Isuzu!" Haru fought back.
"You two need to calm down!" Hatori raised his voice but didn't yell.
He sat Haru in a chair at the opposite side of the room and sat next to Rin to talk to her.
Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
we'll never fall apart
tell me why this hurts so much
"So, Rin, tell me, what is bothering you?" Hatori asked sounding very much like a shrink.
"Well, at this moment you Dr. Freud," Rin spat.
This didn't disturb Hatori. He only persisted.
"Rin, you don't need to feel helpless, no one can go through life all by themselves," Hatori replied.
"Whatever Dr. Sea horse," Rin relented.
Hatori smiled, he knew that if he could get Rin to relinquish the fact that she couldn't be alone in this dismal world then she could accept Haru's help. Hatori only had a little bit of time before the window of Rin's acceptance would slam hard and bruise his hand in the process.
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
"I'm going to talk to Haru now," Hatori informed the horse as he stood up to walk to where Haru was somewhat sulking in the corner of his small office.
Yeah I'd spill my heart!!!
Yeah I'd spill my heart for you!!!
Hatori settled into the chair next to Haru. As he sat Haru's glare met his good eye.
"Haru, you need to stick by Rin. You're the only one she'll listen to," Hatori spoke softly as he leaned forward so Rin couldn't hear them speak.
A snort came from Haru's mouth, "Did you see the way she talked to me? You call that listening?" he asked emotion present in ever letter.
Haru knew that Rin was straining to hear them speak, so he spoke soft as well.
"Why do you resent me so much Rin?" Haru wondered sadly shaking his head.
Until the day I die
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
"You got her here didn't you?" Hatori asked heading for a point that was not visible to Haru yet.
"I carried her here after she fainted…" Haru told him narrowing his eyes into grey slits.
"Exactly. If you didn't, who would have?" Hatori pressed.
A light flickered in Haru's head, if he didn't who would? She would still be passed out on the higher piling snow outside. Rin would be getting sicker and sicker by the moment…would Haru be able to hold her ever again if he had not carried her here?
Haru's eyes widened as he realized this. He choked back a cry. He would never get mad at Rin again. He would savor every moment he spent with his beloved horse. In only a few seconds he felt more regret than he had felt in his whole life. Rin had a funny way of stirring up emotions they were never born into your heart by merely speaking to you.
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you, for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
Until the day I die!!!
Haru sped over to Rin whose posture was as alert as a hunting cat. He enclosed her fragile body with his protecting arms. His grip was tight, but not tight enough to engage the cliché eyes-popping-out-of-the-head anime reflex.
"What's with that?" Rin asked her guard on break.
"I'll never leave you alone," Haru replied.
As years go by
I race the clock with you
But if you died right now
You know that I'd die too
I'd die too
"Huh?" Rin asked confused for the second time today.
"You will never be alone, I will always be by your side," Haru elaborated not loosening his grip on the confused body.
You remind me of the times
When I knew who I was (I was)
But still the second hand will catch us
Like it always does
"What the fuck is he talking about?" Rin silently asked herself, her arms locked to her sides because of Haru's sudden embrace.
"Haru…slow down. Now, what are you talking about?" She asked pushing him off of her body.
Rin's weight fell on the bed and Haru just looked at her and then sat in the chair that was, at one point, filled with Hatori. Haru ran his fingers through his hair and let out a deep sigh. Rin's look only increased with confusion, her guard was still on break while she spoke to Haru.
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Until the day I die (Until the day I die)
I'll spill my heart for you
Should I bite my tongue?
Until blood soaks my shirt
We'll never fall apart
Tell me why this hurts so much
"I love you Rin! So much! I'll never leave you by yourself…You will never be alone ever! I swear I will always be with you!" Haru exclaimed kissing Rin tenderly.
"If you love me so much then can you make a promise to me?" Rin quietly asked of his as her lips began to tremble.
"Anything…"
Do you need this as bad as I do? (Until the day I die)
And do you need this as bad as I do? (Until the day I die)
Yeah do you need this as bad as I do? (Until the day I die)
Yeah do you need this as bad as I do, as I do? (Until the day I die)
"Never leave me…even if I push you away with all of my might…never leave me…" Rin pleaded with her heart bleeding in every word.
"I promise…" Haru agreed to more than he could bargain for in the next few months to come…
"Get the fuck away from me!" Rin screamed pushing Haru a yard away from her before jetting off in the opposite direction as if the cure for their curse would be found at the end of her 'jog'...
