As you walk away… I'm left alone, in the forest that surrounds Shigure's house…
'Annoying girl,' I hear you mutter; as you slowly disappear from my line of vision.
My hands begin to tremble and I feel my knees go weak, as tears begin to sting my eyes…
I stand alone, my tears threatening to spill….
As I shut my eyes, a soft breeze begins to blow. A solitary tear manages to roll down my cheek, before the gentle tickle of the breeze on my skin, causes me to giggle.
This breeze… It reminds me of that night… The night that I mistook you for an attacker… When in actual fact, you had come to meet me to apologize….
A smile forms on my lips, as I remember the time we met on the rooftop…. You seemed so lively when you spoke of your training in the mountains.
More memories rush into my head; the time you ate the whole of Kagura's chocolate heart on Valentines Day in an attempt to take back what you had said…
I remember that…. You told Kagura that you hated chocolate, but as I took out my present for you, you took it back, ate the big, chocolate heart and held out your hand for my Valentine's gift to you.
…. And the time you jumped out of one of the school's second story windows, to escape Yuki's fan-girls….
I try to stifle a giggle, as I remember the first time we met.
You had dropped into the house, literally, and broken a table in half…. I was so surprised, that I couldn't move, even as the table's edge came flying in my direction….
'Hoi,' your voice interrupts my thoughts, 'stop standing there. Are you coming or not?'
I finally notice your orange-hair, poking out from behind a tree.
'I'll leave you behind if you don't hurry up.'
I smile, and run towards you… And as I do, I realize one a many things….
You can say what you want, but whatever you say, won't make all my memories of you disappear….
No matter how hurt I feel, I'll only ever shed one tear… Because all of the happy and unforgettable moments we've shared is far more satisfying, than the fleeting moment that you can make me want to cry.
As I arrive in front of you, your expression hasn't changed; you still look… annoyed… at the world.
I smile at you as I thank you for waiting for me and you grumble something in reply, as you begin to walk towards the house.
While I walk beside you, all is silent….
I discreetly look in your direction and think quietly….
Yes, that's it… A lifetime of laughter is more special than a fleeting moment's sadness…
A second's worth of pain… doesn't deserve more than what I've already given… One tear…
One Tear, Finish!
NOTE: I haven't seen Furuba in over a year and I wrote this in a little under an hour, so I'm sorry if Kyo-kun and Honda-san are Out-Of-Character….
Please review. Hate it? Like it? Anything I can work on? Please tell me…. BTW, this is the first time I've written in first-person Point-Of-View, so there's probably a HEAP of pointers you could give.
FOR FUTURE REVIEWERS:

Thank you all to anyone who reviews… God Bless… Ja ne!
