Disclaimer: Fushigi Yuugi and company don't belong to me. *tragic sigh*
Author's note: I must admit, my knowledge of Fushigi Yuugi doesn't extend past the English manga Vol. 5 (right after evil Tamahome beats up Tasuki) and a few…umm…*cough* spoilers. ::guilty:: I know that Hotohori dies, but I don't know how, so this is just my little take on his death. From Hotohori's POV.
Here Forever
As I lay here dying
I look up and see your face
Your eyes are full of tears
My heart reaches out, and I whisper
"I'll be here forever
Always by your side
Even if you can't see me
Don't ever lose hope"
My time is almost through
You hold my hand, as if to keep me here
A sharp pang inside me
Despite the pain, I look at you and smile
"I'll be here forever
Always by your side
Protecting you through all
I will never leave"
The moment has come
I can feel myself slipping away
You call to me, but I cannot answer
And then I am gone
