Walking through the woods, I soon came across the Sohma main gate. It was so familiar to me, and I stopped, took a deep breath, and then walked through. It was almost eerie- and scary in a way- but the thought of Kohaku kept me going. I wasn't going to turn back now, not until I spoke to this Akito person and found what the heck was going on. As I rounded a corner, I heard a crash- and then a couple screams- that sounded like they came from a psychopathic killer. Rushing to where the sound came from- I came to a dead halt at what I saw.
"Kohaku!" I exclaimed, and ran to his side. He was on the floor- unconscious- blood around him on the floor- and when I looked at my hand- which had previously been on the back of his head- it was covered in blood.
"Kohaku?" I asked shakily- completely scared. No one could survive this much blood loss.
"KOHAKU?!?" I screamed, and shook him a couple times, hoping to wake him up. I needed to know he would be alright.
"So… you're the trouble that's gotten Kohaku to forget about his loyalty to me?" hissed a voice. I looked up and that was the first time I saw the other person in the room.
"So you are Akito-san?" I asked, my eyes filled with hate.
"Yes- I am- and you are getting wound up in a curse that has nothing to do with you!" Akito exclaimed- and lashed out- sending me flying across the room. I landed with a thud, and shook my head. Everything was spinning- and now I had a migraine.
"You should have never gotten involved with him- and now, because of your stupidness- You'll both be punished!" Akito sneered- and came to attack again- but stumbled, fell, and started gasping for air. Wide-eyed I stared at him- confused, and then Hatori came rushing in- having heard all the commotion- and finally coming to check it out. Wordlessly, he went to Akito, picked him up and carried him out. After staring at where they disappeared- I remembered Kohaku- and crawled over to him, getting some splinters and some glass in my knees and hands, but I didn't care. All that mattered to me at that moment was him.
"Kohaku?" my voice was weak, barely audible, and as I reached for him my hands shook. I couldn't see his chest moving at all- and I got so scared- and the tears began running down my face. I fell the rest of the way to the floor- and rested my head on his chest, crying. I heard someone walk into the room- but didn't care. I kept my head rested on Kohaku- the tears never ending.
"Kami."
"Kohaku." I realized it was Elli and Koharu there- and I began crying even harder, my hand clenching Kohaku's shirt.
"Ka…mi…" I gasped- my eyes opening wide- and I held still.
"Ka…mi… cant…bre…athe." My head snapped up towards Kohaku's face- and I saw his eyes open a little bit- and he was looking down at me the best he could.
"Ko..ha..ku?" I cried- and he nodded weakly, and then I shouted at the top of my lungs" HATORI!"
"I'll go get him!" Koharu exclaimed- and rushed out of the room. My eyes never left Kohaku's- and his hand slowly moved near mine- and once it found mine, he held onto it.
--
I walked around the forest and after a while I came to the same spot that Kohaku had taken me all those years ago when we had been younger. Looking up at the stars- I thought about the little things that made life great. I didn't even realize a tear had fell down my face.
"It's beautiful… isn't it?" Looking behind me, I smiled. Kohaku came up next to me and looked out at the stars- and then led me down to the field. There- in the middle of the field, the stars above us, the crickets chirping, he kissed me. Then, together, we laid down on the ground, and looked up at the stars.
"Hey… Kohaku- what animal in the zodiac were you?" I asked, looking over at him. He looked over at me, and smiled faintly.
"The rooster."
"Ah," I smiled- and he smiled as well.
"I love you Kam."
"I love you too Koko."
We'll do it all
Everything
On our own
We don't need
Anything
Or anyone
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
I don't quite know
How to say
How I feel
Those three words
Are said too much
They're not enough
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
Let's waste time
Chasing cars
Around our heads
I need your grace
To remind me
To find my own
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
Forget what we're told
Before we get too old
Show me a garden that's bursting into life
All that I am
All that I ever was
Is here in your perfect eyes, they're all I can see
I don't know where
Confused about how as well
Just know that these things will never change for us at all
If I lay here
If I just lay here
Would you lie with me and just forget the world?
