Fruits Basket Fan Fiction ❯ The Goodbye ❯ The Goodbye ( Chapter 1 )

OK this is kinda sad. I was listening to the song `The Reason' by Hoobastank, And I was all like, “This is Kyo before he has to leave!” GASP! So I wrote a little songfic. Umm.. it's kindof a spoiler but not really. I'm not sure. I'm also maybe thinkin' of a story to go with this……. Just enjoy!

 

Disclaimer: Neither Fruits Basket or `The Reason' belong to me. At least, not in this reality…….

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

 

Kyo turned one last time to look upon the old wooden house where he had spent the last three years of his life. From the porch, the dog and the rat watched him go in morbid silence. Kyo almost smiled. For once, Shigure looked sad and depressed, something he had never shown before.

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

 

He hitched his bag up more securely on his shoulders and started off towards the expensive looking black car parked at the end of the drive. Akito stood next to the open door, smiling as though Christmas had come early.

"KYO!!!"

 

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

Thats why I need you to hear

 

Kyo spun around in time to catch the small girl flying towards him. Her nimble shoulders were shaking with grief. "Kyo...." she panted, catching her breath.”I almost didn't get to-to say goodbye."

Kyo looked down at Tohru as pain clutched around his heart. He might never see her again. That scared him more than anything.

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is You

 

“I thought-I thought it would be easier-" he frowned, feeling heat prickle the back of his eyes.

Tohru shook her head. “No. I wanted to see you, Kyo. I-I had to.” She whispered, clinging to his arm like a lifeline.

 

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

 

“Tohru….” He grabbed her face and, before he could stop himself, kissed her gently. “I'll never ever forget you, Tohru.” He whispered, leaning his forehead on hers. “Never.”

 

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

and the reason is you

 

“KYO!” Kyo turned to see Akito, less than happy, standing behind him. “You need to leave.”

He pulled away from Tohru, who was openly crying. “Goodbye, Tohru Honda.” He looked over at Yuki. “Take care of her, Yuki.” He said, causing his eyes to widen dramatically. “I mean it.”

 

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

 

He pulled the car door shut and looked out at the three on the porch. Yuki and Shigure just watched him stilly. Tohru, tears streaming down her face, was waving, as if he were merely going away for the weekend. Kyo managed a half smile as his own tears stung at his eyes.

“Well, Kyo.” Akito hissed from next to him. “I guess it's time for the freak cat to go home….forever.”

Kyo watched as the house grew smaller and smaller until it was gone. “No,” Kyo answered, leaning back in his seat and smiling through his tears at a stunned Akito. “I already have a home.”

`I'll always love you, Tohru.'
