A/N: Ok. I don't own it. Alright, this is the original ending, so it was the one I planned on only putting up. But that's alright I guess. I also wanted to thank each and every one of you for reading my story, and I know the chapters were short and the large gap between chapters and all of the mistakes and out of character personalities, but thank you so much for reading it through all of that.

Chapter 11 (original ending) Good bye

Tohru stared at Ritsu. She felt the tears sting her eyes. She slowly shook him and then clasped a hand over her mouth. She closed her eyes and began to rock back and forth. "No! Not again! Ritsu! Just like Mom! Just like Mom! Why! Ritsu! Please no! No! Ritsu! Ritsu! Why! Why! No!"

"Ms. Honda?" Yuki asked as he slowly made his way toward her. He went to his knees and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Are you hurt?"

"Ritsu's gone! Yuki! He's gone!" Tohru covered her eyes again.

Yuki looked up and saw Ayame, Hatori and Shigure had come running toward them. The three of them stopped and stared at Ritsu. Ayame looked away and tried to hold in his tears, Shigure slowly walked over to see if Kyo was alright and Hatori knelt next to Ritsu. He placed a hand on Ritsu's shoulder.

Hatori shook his head slowly.

Everyone looked up mournfully.

"Someone...call Shisho and Ritsu's mom. Tell them we found him but...we were too late."

Ayame and Shigure both grabbed their phones and dialed a different number.

"Are you ready? Tohru?" Shigure asked, uncertain.

Tohru nodded, and quietly asked, "Are we going to meet Shoma-kun and Kyo-kun over there?"

"Yeah. They are waiting for us now. Come on. If you're ready, it's time to go..."

Tohru nodded, as more silent tears fell from her eyes. She followed Shigure out of the house and into the car. As he closed the door he glanced at Tohru as she sat. She covered her face with her hands and sobbed.

"Tohru? Are you sure you want to go?"

She nodded. "I...I want to see...him one last...time..." She wiped her eyes and smiled sadly. Shigure sighed and put the car into reverse. He drove out of the driveway and onto the road. He glanced once more at Tohru and put the car in drive and drove to the Sohma Estate.

Once Shigure parked the car, he looked once again at Tohru. She wiped her eyes for the fifth time since she got into the car and without looking at Shigure, she opened the car door and got out. She looked up at the Estate and saw Yuki and Kyo both waiting for her at the door. They both smiled sadly as she walked up to them.

"We...have decided to put our differences aside...Ms. Honda...for your sake," Yuki said.

"Yeah. I won't fight with Yuki anymore...for you..." Kyo said reluctantly.

Tohru began to cry again. She made a movement to hug them but stopped, and instead covered her face with her hands.

Shigure walked up to the three and quietly said. "We are going to be late."

Yuki and Kyo took Tohru by the hand and lead her inside the Estate. They led her to the back, to a large garden. Tohru looked up to see Momiji standing next to Haru, crying softly. Kisa with Hiro; she was also crying as Hiro stood, not knowing what to do. Kagrua stood away from the group with her head bowed willing the tears to stop. Hatori was siting next to Ayame, none crying but both in silence. There was the beautiful woman with long black hair standing off in the very farthest wall, that Tohru had never seen. And young man with reddish-brown hair, standing behind Akito, half hidden in shadow; whom Tohru had never met in her life either. She looked up and saw Ritsu's casket, with his mother kneeling next to it.

Tohru walked over to the casket and willed herself not to cry. The casket was open and Ritsu laid inside, with a peaceful look in his face. Tohru's knees bucked from under her. She grabbed hold of the coffin to keep herself form falling. She stared into Ristu's pale face and she could no longer hold back here tears. As they poured out of her eyes, she ran her hand over Ritsu's face and whispered, "Good bye..."

A/N: Alright, that's the last chapter. But you could always read the alternate ending if you haven't yet. I would like to thank you all for reading my story. Every single one of you. Thanks so much.
