Title: You Were Mine

The sky's been gray
Everyday
Since I lost you
But I know the sun is shining somewhere
Beyond the blue
My eyes were red
When you said
That we were through
But now I can see better days for me
Just beyond the blue
Beyond the blue
On the other side of lonely
It's only a matter of time
Until I'm looking back
Feeling like I'm over you
And these tears are gone
And I'm beyond the blue
Morning came, different than the past week. Tohru smiled that morning, something she hadn't done since Yuki's last visit. The children ran to Kagura when she drove into sight, telling her how much they missed her, and soon the Kyo left too, leaving Tohru alone.
Tohru did the dishes in the quiet, looking at the gray, cloudy sky. Rain was coming on the day of her date with Kyo. There were small patches of blue that made their way through the clouds, lighting a few places with a radiating light. Tohru smile, tears of joy crawled down her face. It's such a beautiful view.
She spent the entire day doing housework, until Kagura dropped the kids off home. Then Tiburo and Kii wanted to play a game. Soon, Kyo came home, heading upstairs to change. Tohru heard the doorbell, rising to answer it. Kisa stood in the doorway.
"Sissy… have you heard the news?" Kisa still called her Sissy after all these years. It gave her a sense of comfort.
"No… What's going on that I should know about?" Tohru was expecting something wonderful.
"I'm getting married!" Kisa yelled enthusiastically.
Instantly, Tohru jumped, landing by embracing Kisa. "That's wonderful news!" She loosened her grip on the girl. "It's Hiro, am I right?"
"Yes!" Kisa had come out of her shell over the years, showing her emotions freely. Tohru thought it was healthier for her.
"I'm sure you haven't heard my news…" Tohru calmed down, trying to hold back her tears. "Yuki's gone. He left me."
"Really?" Kisa couldn't thank of anything to say. "I thought you two made a perfect couple. I never would have thought he would leave you."
"I'm starting to get over it…" Tohru sniffed then wiped her tears away. She let out a weak smile. "I have a date with Kyo tonight." Her smile grew a little stronger, barely noticeable.
"Oh." Kisa thought about what Tohru had just said. "Let me watch the kids for you tonight. You know they like me." Kisa walked through the door, the children jumping on Kisa as soon as they saw her.
"Auntie Kisa! What are you doing her?" Kii asked as she saw one of her favorite family members walk through the door.
"You see, Mommy and Kyo are going somewhere tonight, an I'm going to watch you until they get back." Kisa patted the little girl's head.
"You mean…" Kii looked towards the door. She whispered something under her breath. "I won't let Kyo have Mommy. Only Daddy can have her." Nobody heard the little girl though.
Tohru looked at herself in the mirror. She had just finished putting on what she was going to wear that night. She heard Kisa laugh downstairs… apparently Tiburo was playing with her. Then she heard Kyo scream. "Give those back!"
Tohru ran downstairs. "What's going on?" She rushed to the dining room to see Kyo chasing Tohru's daughter around the table.
"Tell that b-… her to give me my shoes!" Kyo screamed at her. "I need those!"
Tohru stood in front of Kii, making nowhere for the little girl to go. Kyo stood behind her, fuming. "Would you please give Kyo back his shoes? He needs those to go out tonight."
"But, Mommy… He's not Daddy." The girl had tears falling from her eyes. "That's Uncle Kyo… not Daddy!" Kii pleaded with all her might. "Uncle Kyo can't be Daddy!"
Tohru looked at her tearful daughter. "No, Kii. You're right… Kyo's not Daddy, but I want to do this. It will make me happy. Don't you want your mother happy?"
"Y-Yes, I do, Mommy." Kii held out her hands, waiting for her mother to take them from her.
"I promise that we won't do this again tomorrow. How about we play a board game then?" She grabbed the shoes and smiled. "I still love you. Okay?"
"Yes… I'm sorry."
Tohru gave Kyo his shoes. "It's okay. I forgive you. It's only natural that you don't accept him." She stood up and finished getting ready.
Soon, the couple were exiting Tohru's house. Kisa and the children waved goodbye from the doorway. Kisa and Tiburo were smiling, but Kii was trying hard not to frown.
The moment they were out of hearing range, Tohru opened her mouth to speak. "I'm sorry that Kii-" she began, but Kyo interrupted her.
"I know how she's feeling… I'm the one who should be apologizing. I shouldn't have reacted the way I did."
"It's okay." Tohru let another smile. "How about we go to the park?"
"Okay…" The two noticed it was getting close to evening, the sun setting on the horizon. It wasn't a long distance to the park, but, by the time they got there, it had become dark.
They walked on the path for a while, stopping every few minutes for Tohru to look at the scenery. It was a truly romantic place at night. The lights above hit the flowers, making them look like truly blessed in the night. Tohru especially liked the flowers, Kyo could never figure out what made them so beautiful to her.
"Kyo, I felt really bad when Yuki announce our marriage. He just burst it out, not even thinking about how it might make the family feel. I'm sorry," Tohru told Kyo while looking at some of the flowers.
"It's okay…"
"Well, anyway, it's beautiful out here tonight, isn't it?" Tohru looked over to Kyo.
"Yes it is." Kyo looked around, the lighting did give a romantic atmosphere to the place. He also liked a few of the flowers. "We better continue."
"Yeah… I guess we should." The two continued to walk towards the center of the park. Kyo watched Tohru. For some reason, watching her calmed his nerves, making him feel more like himself. It made him take down his shield.
For an instant, Tohru dropped below his sight. Kyo jumped then looked down to see that she had tripped over herself. She looked up at him, embarrassed. "Are you okay?" Kyo couldn't think of anything better to say.
"Yes, I'm sorry." Tohru stood up and brushed some dirt off her clothing.
"You can be so clumsy sometimes." Kyo laughed softly and walked in front of Tohru. He watched the girl continue to brush dirt off of her. "I… will always love you… Tohru."
She instantly looked up and saw Kyo lean towards her. "Kyo, I love you too." She leaned closer to him. They kissed. The flowers around them seemed to glow brighter than ever. The kiss ended. The flowers returned to normal.
They looked at each other and blushed. Neither of them knew what to say, until Kyo looked at the time. "Tohru, I think we should be getting home."
"What time is it? It can't be late already."
"It's 9:26."
"Oh." Tohru began to run back to the beginning of the park, Kyo running behind her, trying to keep up. "I promised Kii I would be home at 10:00!" She ran out the entrance and bumped into somebody. She looked at him. Her eyes began to tear.
Beyond the blue
On the other side of lonely
It's only a matter of time
Until I'm on my feet
And I meet somebody new
And I fall in love again
Beyond the blue
When these tears are gone
And I'm beyond the blue
Note: I'm so sorry for not updating for a week. I started an original fiction that I obsessed over for a few days. I'll put the prologue after the note. Please review that too. I also have a confession to make. This is the first romance I have ever tried to write, and I thank those who continue to read this fiction. Questions: Was the kiss a sign of true love? Who is the person she ran into? Where in the world is this tragedy? Who is the tragedy going to happen to? Is it going to involve death? Will Kii accept Kyo?
Note2: Review or Hiro will break up with Kisa… I am so mean.
Note3: Here it is. The prologue to my original fiction, Secrets:
It's times like this that make me wonder, these times of pain, of suffering, times that hurt my pride. I want to know why…why do secrets always hurt? Why do secrets bring pain and suffering? I've often thought about this, hoping to find the answer. I've never found it though. I want to know how to stop the pain, kill the secrets that lie deep inside us all. I can't do that. I know it.
We all know it. I'm lying here now, cold. The rain falls outside of my cold apartment, I no longer can afford heat. My happiness fell silent long ago. Perhaps, this is the way it's meant to be…perhaps not. We'll never know. Does fate exist? Is your future decided at the moment of your birth, or can you work hard and affect what your future holds? If change is possible, I must of made horrible decisions.
It's not only me. All of us…we all made horrible decisions. All of Harumi made a horrible decision. We acted in greed, a power struggle to the top. The results… look at me now. I'm exhausted, lying on this concrete floor, rain dripping on me from a hole in the ceiling. My coat, once an expensive thing, is now a few scraps of cloths. My home is gone, burned down thanks to that horrible secret I kept for so long.
I wonder what happened to them, my coworkers from Harumi. Perhaps they fell victim to secrets we still don't know. I think it's to early for that, maybe a few more days. My husband also kept a secret, a painful secret. I don't want to think about it. It hurts my heart.
Many of my coworkers are gone. Many of them went missing during the Harumi power struggle, destroyed by those without morals. Many of my friends and family are gone, also destroyed by Harumi. It's amazing how one place can ruin so many lives. To think, I'll never be able to see some of them again. I'll probably never see any of them again, but, if I do, my heart will cease to beat. The pain will be to much to bear.
This one location… no, this one horrible job destroyed everything. It destroyed everything I held dear, everything close to my heart. It destroyed my happiness, my contentment. None of it's there. All it left was pain and deep sorrow… and pity, pity for myself. What am I talking about? The job is not at fault. No matter where I was, it would have happened to Harumi. It would have been my fault too.
I just want to say I'm sorry to everybody, sorry for destroying so many lives. I'm sorry for secrets existing. Why must such horrible things plague our lives? Why can't anything ever be simple? I'm so sorry…
-Diary of Francesca Belmont,
Harumi Executive.
Francesca stood in a black dress, watching as the last of her former coworkers were buried. They decided to hold all the funerals on the same day, even though they all died separately. She glanced to her right, at some of her surviving coworkers. Most of them were holding their heads down, praying that the souls of those dead made a safe journey to heaven. Two or three were whispering to each other though. She recognized one of them.
The woman was one of the other executives. She was wearing a fire red dress to the funeral, a symbol that she cared about none of the dead. Francesca thought that she should have cared some more. The other two were completely unknown to her, probably her family or friends that she invited, that way she wouldn't get bored.
Next Francesca glanced to her left, recognizing two of the people. Both of them were praying and stood in silence. One was an executive, the other a manager… at least they were. They finished their prayer and watched as the people began to disperse. The woman in red laughed loudly at a joke one of the other two near her said. She could not believe how rude she was.
"Hello, Francesca. I'm still sorry that this had to happen," the manager told her as she walked up.
"Don't say that. You know that it's my fault all this happened…" Francesca trailed off the subject.
"I wish that these secrets never existed. I wish that everything was simpler, but…"
"It can never be that simple. Something always has to complicate life, perhaps a dream or a secret. It can't be helped… life is like that."
"Even both a dream and secret at the same time…"
"Yes, a dream that leads to a secret can cause just as much pain."
"You're talking about Ms. Fwipp, aren't you?"
"Yes… the poor woman. She was one of the few my secret didn't hurt."
"Don't talk like that. All of our secrets made this happen. All our secrets… and our greed…"
