A/N—This is my first fanfiction! So please no flames, constructive criticism (and compliments) only. I'm thinking of making this a one-shot but if people want more I'll keep writing. Hope you enjoy! Warnings: Some language, drama, some description of a serious injury.

Summary: Tohru gets in an accident. What are her final words to Yuki? How does Yuki deal with her death?

Disclaimer: I don't own it. If I did, it would probably suck. I'm not as creative as Takaya-san at all.

Yuki Sohma paced back and forth in a small circle. He was waiting anxiously outside Tohru's hospital room, thinking, "Oh, God, no. Take anyone but Tohru. I can't…the Sohmas can't…bear to lose her."

Flashback

"I'm home, Shigure, Honda-san, baka neko." Yuki called as he walked in the door and set his backpack down.

"Hey, Yuki. Welcome home!" Shigure, greeted Yuki happily. Shigure had just gotten the chance to tease his editor, so he was practically in a fit of giggles as he welcomed Yuki back.

Yuki plopped down on the front room couch next to Shigure. "You've been teasing your editor again, haven't you?" Yuki asked with a blank expression.

"Why does everyone assume that?" Shigure said, pouting and pretending to be hurt. "What, do you all think I can't go 2 seconds without teasing my editor? I can't just start laughing for no reason? Really, nobody understands me." He finished dramatically.

Yuki, choosing to ignore this, casually asked "Where's Honda-san?"

Predictably, Shigure "forgot" his pain about Yuki's assumptions, and replied, "Actually, I was just wondering the same thing. I'm getting really hungry. It's almost 5:30."

"What?" Yuki asked in surprise. "But I said goodbye to her right before my student council meeting. She was walking home with—" Yuki stopped short. That was it. He darted upstairs and ran into Kyo's room. Kyo was sitting on his bed, listening to some music on headphones. He pressed the pause button and took the headphones off as Yuki came in.

"What do you want, damn rat?" Kyo asked, with an expression of disgust.

Yuki asked, slightly urgently, "Where's Honda-san?"

"She's not home yet?" Kyo asked. He sat up on his bed and lay the cd player aside. "She said she was going shopping. She told me to go on ahead home since she wouldn't need any help carrying groceries. I thought she'd be back by now."

That's when Shigure leaned his head in the doorway. He had a serious, urgent look on his face. "It's Tohru." He said. "She's been hit by a car."

End flashback

Kyo came out of Tohru's hospital room, tearstains on his face. "You can see her now." He said, pushing back a sob. He nodded towards Tohru's room and walked off to the waiting room.

Yuki took a deep breath and braced himself. They had said she was talking, but barely hanging on to life. She wouldn't have much longer to live. Her legs and lower torso had been nearly crushed in the accident.

Yuki took another deep breath and stepped inside the hospital room.

"Yuki-kun." Tohru smiled, but her smile couldn't hide her pain. It was obvious she was putting up a false front for Yuki. Tohru was covered up, thank God, but Yuki could see crimson stains soaking through the covers. Tohru's face was pale, and her eyes were filled with pain that she desperately struggled to hide.

"Honda-san!" Yuki gasped, running to her side. He too tried to cover his pained expression.

"Yuki-kun," Tohru said, "I'm sorry."

Yuki was feeling several different emotions all at once. Pain, shock, sadness. He tried his best to force out the next sentence. "Tohru… I…wh-…how can you say that?" He asked in amazement.

Tears came to Tohru's eyes. "Yuki… I-I've let you down. I've let you down, Kyo down, Shigure down. I'm leaving you guys, and I can't stop it! I'm so sorry."

"No, Tohru." Yuki said, tears spilling out of his eyes as he abandoned his happy pretense. "Don't ever say or think that. I don't know what led you to think you were letting us down, but…that's just not possible. You've helped everyone beyond words. You've broken the curse, you helped me get my smile back, you've given me hope!" Yuki sobbed. "You… Tohru… you loved us all no matter what. I don't ever want you to think you've let us down. You saved us."

Tohru was sobbing too. "Oh, Yuki, you're so kind. That's why…you have to be happy, even when I'm gone. I want you to remember me, but don't feel sad that I'm gone. Because… I won't be gone. Wherever I am, I'll be watching over you. As long as I'm in your heart, I'll be with you." With that, Tohru's eyes drifted shut.

"Tohru, no!" Yuki cried, grabbing on to Tohru's hand. Tears mixed with the bloodstains on her sheets. "Don't die yet."

"Yuki-kun…" Tohru said weakly. "Yuki-kun, please try to be friends with Kyo-kun. He really is so great." She gasped and shut her eyes tightly as a wave of pain overcame her. "I think…it's my time to go. Let's not say goodbye. Let's say… goodnight. I'll see you in the morning."

"Yes, goodnight." Yuki said. "I…love you." And with that he kissed Tohru gently on the cheek, and left the room.
