Moonlit Wanderer: Thanks for your review! The lyrics ARE very nice but unfortunately, flattered as I am, I am not the author of those lyrics. They're from Hobastank's album and the song's called 'The Reason'. The song really fit what I set out to portray.

Living-death: Thank for your review! I agree with you! Hatori-Tohru fanfics are the best! Absolutely love Hatori!

I love athrun: Thank you for your review! You're the first one!!! Really appreciate it!!

......................................................

I can't believe you're here with me

And now it seems my world's complete

And I never want this moment to end

I close my eyes and still I see

My dreams become reality

And now I now how it feels to be in love

Hatori woke up drowsily.

Hmm? What was he doing on the porch? Wincing, he tried to shield his eyes from the onslaught of the sunshine into his eyes. A slight sigh caught his ears.

Looking down, his heart missed a beat.

It was her.

She was sleeping so peacefully on him, her hands curled under chin.

Her light brown hair looked almost blond as the morning sunshine shone in its full glory.

Hatori gently and hesitantly touched her pale cheek.

When had she grown so pale?

Frowning, he let his finger trail across her cheek to her lips.

Her pink lips were so full as she mumbled something in her sleep.

Hatori felt like kissing her but he controlled himself.

Wouldn't do to be caught so early in the morning.

His thoughts wandered to last night.

"Why do you love me?" he asked, opening his eyes, taking her hand in his, nearly crushing it.

She winced slightly but she still smiled.

"Because...simply because..."she whispered and Hatori saw her tears slip down her pale cheeks.

"I don't deserve you, Tohru. Wrong as it seems, I want to lie down here with you forever. I wish...I wish...what am I saying? Wishes are just plain nonsense." He said, pushing his feelings deep inside the dark.

"What do you wish for?"

Hatori nearly jumped out of his skin.

Looking down, he saw Tohru looking at him with her clear azure eyes.

"Nothing..." he said gruffly, feeling embarrassed that she had heard him.

"Now that you're awake, you can get off me." He continued brusquely, trying to be rude enough so that she would leave.

"I like staying here, so I am going to lie here." Came her reply.

"What?" Hatori asked, looking down where Tohru had indeed laid her head back on his chest.

One of her hand took his hand and entwined their fingers together and tucked it underneath her chin.

Hatori felt his heart beat faster as his palm lay against her warm chest.

"Tohru..." he said, his voice breaking.

"Last night, when I saw the fireflies, I made a wish. Do you want to know what I wished for?" Tohru asked, looking up, her eyes hopeful.

Hatori felt the familiar magic working and before he could gruffly refuse, he heard himself ask, "What was your wish?"

"I wished that we could be together. Forever and ever. I know forever is a long time but it seems that I had always loved you. From the first moment I saw you, my feelings have always been constant. Sometimes, it hurts to love you...I ask myself, "How can you love someone this much?" And I have answer. I don't know how I can love you so much. But this pain...I want it. Because pain and pleasure...there's a fine line between, no?"

Hatori was dumbstruck by her reply.

His other hand gently stroked her cheek.

She closed her eyes and leaned into his hand.

"Leave me. I'll only hurt you." He said and Tohru's eyes flew open at the unexpected words.

"Leave me." He repeated, gently prying his fingers from hers and pushed her away.

Standing, he didn't hesitate when left her.

Her sobs could be heard even through the house though.

Hatori clenched his fists.

"Bastard," he whispered.

Even now, he still hurt her.

But this was for her own good.

She won't know it now but later...she will be thankful that she was better off without a bastard like him.

Closing his eyes against the tears, which were burning in his eyes, he walked off from the house.

I prayed so many nights that you would come my way

An angel from above to light my darkest day

I think it's time for you to heed these lines

'Cos there's something I want to say

Tohru was crying.

Not for herself but for him.

Even now, he was still not free from his doubts, from his fears.

It hurt that he thought he was not good enough for him.

It hurt that he didn't trust her or her love.

.......................................

Night was falling.

Where was he?

He hadn't come home since this morning.

Worry was etched into her face.

Biting her lips, she checked from the windows again for the 100th time.

Where was he?

Did he get into an accident?

Maybe he was kidnapped.

Or maybe...

All those thoughts ran through her mind, making her feel scared and nauseous.

Suddenly the shrill cry of the telephone interrupted her train of thought.

She jumped for the telephone, the hope high in her chest.

"Hello?" she asked breathlessly.

"Hello? Hey, Tohru!"

"Oh, hello, Shigure." She said, the disappointment taunt in her voice.

"Oh, I'm so sad, Tohru! Why do you sound so disappointed? Boo Hoo Hoo..." he cried.

"I..." she said her head pounding.

"Tohru? Are you alright?" Shigure asked over the phone.

"I...I don't feel so well..." she mumbled over the phone, gripping the phone tightly in her hands, trying desperately to stop her world from spinning.

The last thing she heard was the sound of the telephone falling beside her in a loud thud.

Only god knows what the future will bring

So hold me close and don't let go

'Cos this is love, boy, don't you know?

And we're gonna be together for eternity

I prayed so many night that you would come my way

An angel from above to light my darkest day

A love so strong it's can't be wrong

It's with you that I belong
