"Nagai tsuki hi kimi to hanare boku wa
Munashisa ni oboreta
Yume wa hada no hiniku da yo to machi no
Zawa mekini suteta hatsu sa
(In the night you and I walk alone with the moon high above
And this silence that drowns out my love
Feeling strange like a dream, how could this be our reality
As the stars fade away, so do hopes and dreams)
Yogoreta tamashii kakimushiite
Ano hi mi modoru itami ni nare
Sama you tamashii segashi ni yukou
Tooku Tooku Tooku
(Though you never speak to me, I wish you'd tell me why
You won't let me help you, love, I wish you'd let me try
Still you try to search for it, the life you've never known
So far so far so far)
Utsuro de yasashi
Jidai ni sayonara o"
(Still you said farewell to me
Though I try I know I'll never go)
Sweet Nothing
By: Onigiri Girlz
Tohru's POV
As I wiped the tears from my eyes, I knew that I was doing the right thing. I was the onigiri. The non fruit in the fruit basket. The one that would never fit in. Leaving seemed like the best solution, for everyone.
I didn't have a clue where I would go. I was cramping their lifestyle. They lived with the curse… that was burdensome enough. I shouldn't add to it.
The full moon shone its light all through the forest that surrounded me. Everything was so beautiful. Hoping that the soft moonlight would guide me, I walked away from the house.
The only thing I left there was a note. I couldn't even remember clearly what I wrote. All I knew was that I should leave.
Okaasan, I said mentally, hoping my mother would somehow hear my plea, I'm sorry… Sometimes being myself just isn't enough.
I continued on. My arms strained from carrying my bags for what seemed like an eternity. The tears came even more freely, clouding my vision. The exhaustion finally swept over me, and I sat down on rock to regain my composure.
Just then, a rustling of a bush drew my attention. I wiped away my tears enough to see what caused the disturbance. Yuki Sohma appeared in front of me, with a look of concern on his face.
*****Yuki's POV*****
I moved out of the woods, ending up in front of Tohru. I knew the look I had on my face must be one of concern.
***flashback***
I crept down to get a late night snack, but as I walked by Tohru's room, I noticed the door was open and she wasn't in the room. I started to look for her, since obviously she had to be awake. I decided to first look in the kitchen, since she loves to cook and when she wasn't there, I looked around the rest of the house.
She doesn't work this late…I thought to myself, starting to worry.
I checked her room quickly again, in case I missed her, noticing instantly that none of her belongings were there. I ran out of the house, so full of apprehension that I didn't think to get help finding her.
Well, I did think to ask my rat friends to help me track her. They only were able to give me a direction in which she traveled.
I started to run after her to catch up, praying she wouldn't be hurt or in danger of anything. My heart practically broke in two when I heard crying not far ahead of me. It sounded as though the crying had just started. I was aware of the rustling of bushes, but I was too worried about the girl I loved to care anymore. I hurried through the brush and bushes to reach her and bring her back to us.
***end flashback***
"Tohru," I said, my voice full of concern, "why did you leave us…?"
Tohru's POV
"I had to," I replied.
"But why?" he started, but I interrupted him.
"I just had to. I don't fit. The onigiri shouldn't be with the rest of the fruit in the basket," I stated, trying not to break down crying.
"What do you mean? You fit in the house just fine," then he lowered his voice to a little more than a whisper, "you hold the house together. I can't imagine life before you came here."
I heard the words, but I couldn't understand them. They weren't true. He's just saying that to make me feel better. That was just like Yuki. He has such a sweet soul… but he had to understand that I must go.
"I'm sorry…" I said as I stood up and started walking away.
He easily caught up with me. But he didn't say anything. A stiffening silence fell over us as I tried to move faster. He couldn't follow me. This is something that I have to do, I kept saying to myself, This is something that I have to do.
*****Yuki's POV*****
As we strolled in silence, I felt my heart break in pieces. She can't walk out of my life like this! I don't want to let her go, not now or ever! I thought, constantly replaying the thought in my mind, though I couldn't seem to get my mouth to comply with my heart and speak to her.
It seemed like we'd been walking forever, but we hadn't made very much distance. We were still on the Sohma land, not that far away from my secret base. The silence weighed heavily down on my thoughts, crushing every possible thing that I could say.
"Please don't go," I pleaded. "We need you here…"
Tohru's POV
I stopped walking, and I smiled at him. "I am not needed here. You guys managed without me before, you could probably do it again."
"But…" he started.
I shook my head. "No. This is something that I must do for myself. Maybe when I find myself, I may return. But for now, farewell."
I started to walk away, this time knowing that he wouldn't follow me. This is goodbye, I silently said as I felt my heart break, though it may seem like forever, I know I will see you again.
********
Tohru walked away slowly, fading away with the stars.
"Goodbye may seem forever… Farwell may seem like the end… but I know that I will see you once again."
Author Note: That's the end or maybe not. We have an idea where we could continue with this, but it sounds pretty good as a one-shot. We suppose that it's up to you readers to decide whether or not we commit to the continuation. Till next time!
