~This Starry Sky...
Sup, bros? xD I'm ending this story
with this chapter…sadly . I just noticed
that there's not much Bakemonogatari
fanfics here ._. D'aww…anyways…
Some Araragi and Senjougahara time
in this chappy :3 Nothing too fluffy =P
xDI do not own Bakemonogatari in
any way. It belongs to its respectful
owners and creators. Thanks ^.^
"Remind me again as to why we are doing this?" I asked in an annoyed tone. I am currently walking whilst bending downwards and facing the ground with only Senjougahara's hand on my head to guide me.
"I forgot to bring a blindfold. And I still want to surprise you. We have no choice but to this," she replied in a monotonous voice.
I sighed in defeat. Arguing with her is not a wise choice. Trust me. Instead, I close my eyes and kept walking (or is it crouching?), waiting for her to stop. It didn't take long, because after a few seconds, she finally stops.
"We're here. Don't stand up yet. Close your eyes and lay down. Don't you dare open them till I say so," she instructed in a tone that was so dull but commanding at the same time.
I nodded my head and felt the ground to find where I was supposed to lie. I felt the change from wet grass to a solid, smooth fabric…which I believed to be a picnic blanket, so therefore, I lay down.
I heard soft thuds and rustling beside me indicating that Senjougahara has lain beside me. Not really beside me but, near me anyways. There was still a short gap between us so…we weren't really lying next to each other.
"You can open your eyes now," I heard her say. And with that command, I opened them expecting to see something really shocking and unbelievable. Something gruesome perhaps. But, there was something else.
What lay in front of me (or on top of me), was a vast, dark sky decorated by millions of stars, shining and twinkling. I was flabbergasted. (ß I just wanted to use that word xD Don't worry xD)
"See, there's Orion, then that's Virgo…" Senjougahara started naming constellations and stars. And when I think that she was done, she just kept on going… "And that's the star, Spica. See that purplish star? That must be Venus." She kept naming them that it reached the point that she named stars I haven't even heard of. Her voice faded into the background as I closed my eyes.
"This is all I have." Hearing this, I propped myself on my elbow and looked at her. "This is all I have," she repeated. "The opportunity to tutor you, a cute junior, a clumsy father, and this starry sky. That is all I can give you. This is everything."
"Everything…" I echoed, thinking about what it really meant, but before I could go deeper into my thoughts, Senjougahara spoke again.
"Well, technically, I also have my insults and verbal assaults," she said in a teasing manner.
"I don't need that," I reply back monotonously.
She gave a light giggle and continued. "Also, there's this thing called, my body. Do you not want that either?"
I am quite taken aback by this so, therefore, like the fool that I am, I stutter. "E-eh…well, that's…"
"But you know, I was almost violated by a perverted man once," she interrupted.
"Ah…yes…that…" I actually felt bad now. Why? I have no idea why.
"Honestly, I'm scared of doing what that pervert tried to do to me with you," she admitted in a steady voice. "Right now, I'm really afraid…of disliking you, Araragi-kun."
I wasn't expecting this. I wasn't expecting this at all. Before I could even protest, however, she continued on.
"Right now, I'm afraid…of losing you," she says, her voice cracking. At that point, I knew that she was on the verge of crying. What can I do?
I steeled myself and took hold of her hand. I can see she was quite surprised at the gesture since she slightly drew her hand back, but knowing it was just me, she relaxed but I can still feel that she was very tense. At least it calmed her down a bit.
She took a deep breath and sighed. "Even though I can't say that my life up until now was fortunate, if I got your attention because I was so unfortunate, then I think it was okay, after all."
I squeezed her hand gently, reassuring her that I am here with her, listening to what she has to say. And that I'm not going to leave.
"That's how hard I've fallen for you, Araragi-kun. That's why I'll make something come out of it, no matter what. So…I want you to wait just a little," Senjougahara states in a shaky voice. "That's why, at this point in time, out of everything I can give to you, Araragi-kun…for now…this starry sky is the greatest."
I pull her towards me and embrace her. She stiffens at first, possibly the trauma of being touched by a man is kicking in, but she surprisingly gives in and lays on top of me.
"Don't worry," I say. "No matter how long it takes…I'll wait for you."
CHAPTER 2: END
Uwaahhh…everything's so cliched xD Yes, I know, my astronomy isn't that good xD There will be a chapter 3 and I think it will end on that chapter xC Anyways, please read and review xD I did change some bits around but I mostly put Senjougahara's lines in there because she needs to be understood more xD Next chapter will mostly be…fluff…I guess xD So, yeah.
