Hello! I had the inspiration for this short one-shot after watching and episode of Kenshin and seeing "Lyrics by Yuki" come across the screen. My immediate thought was of course our favorite mouse: Yuki Sohma... I thought to myself, "What if Yuki wrote lyrics in his spare time..." And there you go...
Oh, and please don't sue me or anything for posting the lyrics. I didn't write them, I don't own them. Someone named Yuki wrote them. I just posted them in this story for the benefit of anyone that doesn't know the song.
I also don't own Furuba. If I did, why on earth would I write fanfcition?
"I brushed against those freckles that I hated so,
Life goes on and I heave a little sigh for you.
It's heavy, the love that I would share with you,
But it dissolves like it was just a sugar cube.
Now the little pain sitting in my heart
Has shrunk in a bit, but it really does hurt me now.
Those silly horoscopes, I
Guess I can't trust them after all.
If we could get further away,
I wonder what it would be like... ?
Yay!
I'd be so happy
Inside my heart.
All the memories I have are beautiful in my mind,
But they don't feed the hunger deep inside my soul.
And tonight I thought, I'd be just sitting in my sorrow.
And now I must wonder why.
What did it really mean to you?
I just can't see it anymore!
I just can't see it anymore... Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-ohhhhhhhhhhh...
"Man, who suggested this anime? This has to be the stupidest opening in the world. I mean, the scenes they pick make it look like this is supposed to be a fighting anime. But the song is so fricking HAPPY! Freckles? What kind of pansy song is that? And "all the memories I have are beautiful in my mind?" He's killing people! How does that fit? And this anime has nothing to do with horoscopes. Or freckles for that matter. Geez, this is so dumb."
"Hiro, didn't you suggest this anime? Why don't you just sit and watch it without complaining?" Shigure commented from the doorway.
"Um, I kind of like the song," Kisa stammered quietly.
"It's ok."
Tohru smiled watching the boy quickly give in to Kisa. He really was a lot like Kyo sometimes…
Just then, as the end of the song was coming, all three watching the show noticed a small line of text flash on the screen: Lyrics by Yuki Sohma.
Jaws dropped as they turned to the teenage boy that had entered the living room at that moment.
Noticing the stares he was receiving, Yuki became rather flustered and stammered, "What? What's wrong? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Tohru recovered first and questioned him, "Yuki, um, did, did you, did you write the lyrics for that song?"
Yuki blushed deep crimson, avoiding the eyes still plastered to him.
They all took his silence for what it was, a yes.
Hiro blinked a few times and burst out laughing. He was rolling on the floor when Kyo walked into the room to see what the commotion was about. The ram barely managed to gasp out, "Yuki…freckles…wrote…song…!" before bursting into another fit of laughter as the anime Rurouni Kenshin began.
