Chapter # 6: It's Over
( The bolded words in the story are song lyrics to the song "Over"-Ayumi Hamasaki…I do not own these lyrics or this anime) (If it's bold & underlined…it's not part of the song! Lolz)
I sighed and turned, walking out of the room.
I could hear Hiro's voice say,
"Common Ayaka, let's get outta here."
He followed me out, followed by Ayaka.
I waited a moment for them to catch up. Hiro came up beside me,
"Hey Shu, you alright?"
"Yeah, fine."
Ayaka stayed quiet, allowing for us to communicate. I was silently thanking her for that. She knew I needed Hiro very badly right now. My life was not so easy.
"So, bet it feels good to finally get rid of Yuki right? I mean, he won't be able to hurt you anymore and you won't suffer so much now, right?"
Ano hi nanika iikaketa (I still remember your profile)
"Yeah."
I was quietly breaking down. I didn't think I could hold back much longer.
"Hiro…I'm hurting really bad right now…I'm, scared, of what will happen…If I let Tohma get to me…How I let Yuki get to me…" I stated, staring at the floor.
Yokogao mada oboete iru yo (When you were about to say)
Hiro looked at me,
"Yeah, I guess that would be really hard."
Nee saigo made chan to kite (Something on that day)
I could feel myself, losing myself.
Yuki was suddenly in the hallway behind us,
"SHU!"
I turned around and looked at him.
Agerarenaku-tte gomen ne (I'm sorry for not having heard you out)
"Don't call me Shu," I stated.
"Ryu-chan, can call me 'Shu'… Hiro, can call me 'Shu'…And Tohma can call me 'Shu.' "
I drew a sharp breath, holding back on my tears.
"But you…Don't you ever call me 'Shu' again!"
He looked a little shocked by how much I had allowed myself to yell. To speak my mind. It was about time I did too.
Tohma stepped out of the room. I looked at him next, but no words could find their way out. But some finally did,
"I honestly love you."
With that, I turned around and started walking away.
Sukoshi no yuuki ga tarinakute (I didn't have a little more courage)
Switiching to Tohma's POV
I stared after him,
"Shu-chan…"
I could feel my eyes welling up with tears. I hadn't cried in such a long time. Years. Maybe nine years now. I'd almost cried when I found Yuki after he had shot Kitazawa, but I hadn't. I hadn't cried in nine full years now. Nine. What a big number.
Namida kakushita ne (And hid my tears)
I wished I could turn back the hands of time to when Yuki and I used to get along and maybe, stop myself from marrying his sister. None of this would be happening then.
Mou nido to wa (Though I knew)
modorenai to
Wakatteta noni ne ( We would never be
as we were)
I looked at Yuki,
"See you later Eiri-san."
"What ever."
Mata ne to te wo futte wakareta (I parted from you waving my
hand And saying "See you again")
Itsumo no you ni
wakareta (I parted from you as usual)
I took off after Shuichi. I wouldn't lose him. I wouldn't allow myself to pass up the chance of being happy again.
Tsunaida te wo hodoku no wa (It is easier than we think)
Omou yori mo KANTAN da ne (to let go of each other's hands)
Switching to Shuichi's POV
I sighed as I heard approaching footsteps, I looked.
"T-Tohma?"
"You sound surprised to see me."
Demo hodoita te wo mou ichido
Tsunagu no wa
muzukashii n da ne (But it is hard to join hands together again,
isn't it?)
I just stared at him, not knowing what to say.
"Shu-chan…I heard…I heard what you said back there…Before you walked off…"
"You-you heard that?"
He nodded,
"I know that song…That's a very nice one…I believe I remember one of the lines to it…" He looked in thought, then leaned by my ear,
"Ah, yes, I remember now…
I can't smile without you."
My cheeks lit up in an instant. I knew he wasn't just quoting the song. He was speaking from his heart. And I…Was happy.
Tatta hitokoto ga ienakute (I could not say just one word)
I could feel my eyes watering up with tears once again. Did I really want to return this feeling?
I fell to my knees.
Kaze ga tsumetai ne (the wind is cold)
Tears trailed down my cheeks.
Ima ni natte namida shiteru (I'm in tears now)
Tohma crouched before me,
"Are you alright Shu-chan?"
I reached out to him, placing a hand on his shoulder, and my head on the same shoulder. I just kept on crying. I couldn't help it. I was hurting so much. Now I understood though, how he must feel.
Watashi dake samui wake ja nai koto mo wakatta no (Now I know it's not me alone, who feels the coldness)
He slipped his arms around me, holding me close. My arms went around his neck and he let me sit in his lap. He sat against the wall.
Dakedo ososugita mitai (But it seems to late)
A little girl came walking by with her mother and saw us.
She walked over to us,
"Is he ok?" Her little voice questioned.
Kyori wa nani wo sukoshi zutsu toozakeru no kana (What is getting little by little, farther by the distance?)
"Yes, he's alright. He's just a little sad."
"Oh…" She was holding a bunch of red roses.
"Can I give him a rose? Maybe he'll be happy then?"
"Sure…Shu-chan?" Tohma questioned looking down at me.
I looked up.
The little girl held out the red rose to me,
"Here you go! You should smile! Nobody wants to see you cry, 'cause then they might cry and then their friends will cry and then their friends will cry until the whole world cries…Smiling is a much better thing to spread among your friends, don't you think so?"
I smiled, accepting the rose.
"Yes, you're right. And thank you very much."
"You're welcome!" She hurried back over to her mother and the two walked away.
Toki ga nagare sukoshi zutsu wasureteku no kana (Do I forget little by little, as time passes by?)
I didn't pay attention and pulled my finger away from a thorn. It was the only thorn on the rose. Just my luck I guess.
I placed my fingertip in my mouth slightly,
"Ouch."
Tohma looked at me,
"What happened?"
"Thorn," I said quietly,
"I wasn't paying attention."
"I see…" he pulled out a small bit of bandage and held out his hand for my finger. I gave him his needed access and the blood came to the surface again. He place my finger to his lips and drew the blood away and quickly wrapped it up afterwards. I must have been completely red in the face, 'cause that's what it felt like. I stared at my finger,
"Thank you."
It's over
I woke up to the feeling of someone's finger's brushing through my hair gently, and slowly. I cuddled up to the one doing this and could hear them give off a small chuckle.
"You're so cute when you're tired," they whispered.
Taisetsu datta ne (It was a treasure wasn't it?)
"Or when I'm just waking up," I muttered.
He smiled,
"Awake now huh?"
"Yes."
"I didn't think you'd ever wake up again…You slept past noon already…"
I shot up,
"NOON!"
"Yes…It's actually 2 PM right now…"
"Why didn't you wake me!"
"There was no need to wake you."
Nani yori mo mamotte itakatta (I wished to protect it, more then anything else)
"And besides, you looked to comfortable to wake up."
"I can't sleep my days away like this for ever you know," I stated.
"I know…But the doctor's said you'd be a little tired after that incident with the car…"
Sudden Flashback
My eyes grew in horror as I saw the headlights coming at me to fast for me to move.
End Sudden Flashback
I moved away from him, hugging myself, eyes shut tightly.
Kaze ga tsumetakute (The wind is cold)
Tohma stared at me in shock a moment and heard my soft whimpers. He embraced me,
"I'm sorry Shu-chan…I forgot that you lost parts of your memory from this…I'm sorry for scaring you like that…I didn't mean to make you remember that…"
I snuggled into him, still whimpering slightly.
Ima ni natte namida shiteru (I'm in tears now)
"I love you…Tohma…" My voice allowed itself to drift up to his ears, as I allowed my tears to trail down my cheeks.
He only hugged me tighter.
Watashi dake samui wake ja nai koto mo wakatta no (Now I know it's not me alone who feels the coldness)
"Shu-chan…I swear to you, I will never allow you to be hurt the way Eiri-san hurt you…And you can trust me when I say I will never hurt you like he did…"
Dakedo ososugita mitai (But it seems to late)
I just held myself closer to him. Tohma had never shown a soul this side before, that much I knew.
Kyori wa nani wo sukoshi zutsu toozakeru no kana (What is getting little by little, farther by the distance?)
"I love you…Shu-chan…"
Toki ga nagare sukoshi zutsu wasureteku no kana (Do I forget little by little as time passes by?)
"I never thought…Anyone would tell me those words…And mean it…" I whispered to him.
SAYONARA itsu made mo iroasenai hito (Good-bye, you'll never fade in my memory)
"Well," he placed a finger under my chin and made me face him.
SAYONARA sae mo umaku tsutaekirezu ni ( I didn't even say good-bye to you clearly)
"I mean it."
With that, he leaned down and pressed his lips to mine.
It's over
(HAI! It's over! HAHA SUCKRS! R&R! PWEASEEEEEEE!
-puppie eyes u-)
