A/N: Here's the next song fic, a Hatori one, focusing on the fleeting spring with Kana. I know the song is about summer ending, but it seems so perfect.
Disclaimer: I wish I owned the wonderful cast of Furuba, but I don't. Also the song 'Summer's Almost Gone' belongs to The Doors.
Summer's almost gone, summer's almost gone
Almost gone, yea, it's almost gone
Where will we be when the summer's gone?
She was the spring, the spring come to melt my frozen heart. The first time I ever really laughed, ever really smiled was around her. She was my life, my everything.
At first, our relationship was awkward; neither of us knew what to do. Yet despite the awkwardness, I felt alive for the first time in my life, I felt happy.
My friends noticed the change in me too, and were happy for me. They were ecstatic that I had finally learned how to laugh, how to smile.
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone where will we be?
I was having the time of my life. It was amazing being with her. We were having a small picnic outside in a park underneath a bountiful tree. Beautiful blossoms were drifting to the ground, getting caught in her hair. I laughed as I gently picked them out.
The sun began to set; signaling that we should be getting back soon, but neither of us wanted to leave. We sat side by side, hands linked, watching the burning fire of the sun slowly extinguish. I admired how the waning sunlight made her soft brown hair glow.
I walked her home, stopping just outside of her door and simply stared at her for awhile, before leaning down and giving her a soft sweet kiss on the lips. I then walked down to the end of the driveway and looked back, the two of us gazing at each other until she slowly turned to go inside. I headed back home with a light feeling in my heart.
Morning found us calmly unaware
Noon burn gold into our hair
At night we swim the laughin' sea
When summer's gone where will we be?
We were so deeply in love that I didn't think we would ever get out, I didn't want us too. I don't think she did either.
One bright summer day when we were sitting out in a garden I plucked a small lavender flower, her favorite, and gently tucked it behind her ear. I leaned down and kissed her, a burning, passionate kiss, and then pulled away.
"Kana? I have something extremely important to ask you." I said fidgeting a bit.
"What is it?" she asked.
"How would you like to spend the rest of your life with me?" I said.
"What?! Of course!" she said enveloping me in a warm hug and kissed me even more passionately than before.
"There's just one thing," I cut in, "we have to ask the head of family for permission."
Summer's almost gone, summer's almost gone
We had some good times, but they're gone
"We'd like to ask you're permission to get married." I asked, kneeling before Akito.
Before I could react, I felt something collide painfully with my face. As my hand went up to clutch at my eye, I could hear Akito's harsh voice screaming above me.
"I will not allow you to marry, I WILL NOT!" he screamed before abruptly falling to his knees in front of me.
"Hatori? Hatori!" he said, his voice quieting as he gently brushed my face.
"It's your fault, it's all your fault!" he said, pointing at Kana.
"It's your fault if Hatori goes blind!"
The winter's comin' on
Summer's almost gone
She fell ill. She wouldn't eat, wouldn't talk.
"You're skills would definitely come in handy right now, wouldn't they?" said Akito.
"It's her memories of you, her love for you, that's doing this to her."
So that's how I came to be here, standing in front of my house watching as Kana walked away,leaving for her new life, one without me, not having any clue as to what really happened while she was here.
If you asked her, all she would say was that she was assisting me, that was all. All memories of that time are gone, all the laughs, all the smiles.
Leaving me alone to keep them alive.
I hope you liked! Please read and review! The next one is also going to be an Hatori one and will almost be like a seqeul.
