AN: Thank you to all my readers who has been keeping up with my work up to this point. I am surprised that you all loved my first fan-fic work.
Thank you:
A Smiling Rain Cloud: Now you know why Akito hates "that pony" so much. "Black-slithery hair" is what irks Akito. I tried to write Akito without giving away too much!
Haru and Kisa Lover: I am sorry that Aki-chan's poem scared you! I promise you that the next three are very light hearted and thoughtful!
Alright, now for a change in mood, here's your favorite shishou and mine, Kazuma-dono! Disclaimer: I do not own Fruits Baskets!
Sanctuary
Never again do I want him to stand
With that darkness
Amongst the sea of darkness,
Stood a young boy.
His eyes were endured with sadness,
Confusion, anger and fear.
Alone and frighten,
The boy didn't know where to go,
Nor what to do with his emotional tension.
I reach my hand towards him,
And he cried and yelled,
The hidden frustrations within.
I just look him in the eye,
And told him to come with me,
Away from this darkness, to a higher place...
His sanctuary.
Because of this,
I feel better of my past remorse,
The guilt inside has lifted.
However, a new guilt within me has arisen,
To use an innocent soul,
To rid my own sin?
No. The warmth in my heart has that feeling,
That feeling of a father to a son...loving.
He has become so special to me.
My son, my sanctuary.
Now, my son, you will not cry no longer,
There are those of us who love you.
A bond that last forever...
As long as you know that,
As long as you keep on believing,
You will grow strong, not just in combat...
But in your heart and soul inside.
I started feel that strength,
When I saw you smiling serenely by her side.
She has become your source to enjoy life.
Oh precious child, please stay with him,
And provide the love and care he needs,
And in return...in some form...in someway,
He will be your sanctuary.
AN: Aww, now isn't that sweet? This reminds me of that chapter when Kazuma peeks in through his kitchen and sees Kyo holding Tohru's ribbons for her while she's tying her hair up, so she could cook lunch for them! That chapter inspires me to write this. Thank you Shadow-san for translations! Kazuma is just one of those characters you cannot hate. The next poem is a small introductory poem in Tohru's POV. She's going to talk about her tomodachi(Friends) : Arisa and Saki (aka: Uo-chan and Hana-chan)! Then, they are next!
