AN: I want to thank AnimeFrekos, GirlWaterShaman and A Smiling Rain Cloud for the encouraging reviews. You guys are the reason why I kept going! Now, here's Ha-san and his poetry of dreaded snow...

Disclaimer: I don't own Fruits Baskets or the Ryu, Hatori-san!


Days of Dreaded Snow

Deep in the dank shadows of the honke,

Encased by the bitter snow;

Lies my seething soul who lost the one thing it want...

The warm air of spring to dissolve the bitter cold.

Those days are lost by me,

Replaced by the days of dreaded snow.

The warm air and sunshine is just a dream...

Will I ever find it again or will I die in the cold?

My hopes were falling,

Until those words prevailed...

"When snow melts it turns into spring...

Because spring will come without fail"

When will spring come again?

I'll have to reside in to cold for now,

Until spring brings it to an soothing end...

And melt the ice surrounding my heart...somehow.

I hope that she will become their spring;

Just as my love was once to me...

Only this time its not worth losing...

I'll guard it with my life, on my own choosing.

Someday the days of spring will be reborn,

Blooming with warmth which we all wanted for so long...

Eliminating those days of forlorn.

When that day comes, our hearts will become strong.

That is my eternal dream,

In the bitter cold...

Of those days ending...

Those days of dreadful snow.


AN: Ah, my ryu of angst! I hope he gets a happy ending ! Yes, he does need a hug! Everyone give hugs to Hatori! Even though he's a seahorse, we all love him! Oh yeah, I italicized the word honke! This means "main house" for those who don't know. Oh-kay, YAY! Me so happy now! I get to write about HARU! As you could see he's one of my favorite bishies! He's next!
