http://clampfix.fanworks.net/ss-fix/holding.txt </head><body><pre>::laughs:: This is my first fanfic posting on CFFML. So, I'm introducing myself: My name is Soryuu, and I'm an avid F/K fan as well as an S/S fan. I hope you enjoy the fic even though it probably sucks. It's a Subaru one-shot thingie... ^_^ The idea is a little repititious, but I love the S/S thing going on... --- Holding On --- It was cold, but I still went to that place. The sakura tree that had the souls of the ones that I loved the most in its possession. I stared at it, and placed my hand on its trunk. It was the bittersweet memory of my Special Person that had brought me back here. I had never hated /him/. Never. To him, I was a child, an innocent child. I was still that child, but I was without /her/. I missed my sister dearly. And every day that passes without her is even more miserable. As it is with him, now that he has left me. I remembered as I held him in my arms, moments before he drifted away into the watery depths of the river. My lover was gone. Forever. It was not his fault. It was our wishes. They were the red strings of fate that brought the ones that I loved to an end. I will not waste their wishes. I will not waste their love. I will not forget their love. I will not forget /him/. As I thought of this, I felt a rush through my veins. It was him... It would only be him. We belonged together more than anything, and now. I coughed, and steadied myself against the tree. Cursed tree. But I felt myself slump against it, sliding until I felt myself sitting on the dirt that it's roots would forever be implanted in. I would hold that memory until I died. I would not die just yet. Because that was my sister's wish. Because Seishirou died, and it was not me. And because of that, I would hold to memories like I had for so long. I would not let their deaths be in vain. I will not be unhappy, as I was for so long. But it's not time to move on. It will never be time to move on. I felt myself breathing heavily, thinking of him. Seishirou, the man who dominated my heart, and would not let go. The one who I held on to, even in the face of death. I would live until it was my time. I would remember them forever. I would join them when it was the right time. I would not leave this place just yet. And I rested, knowing that I would be freed soon enough. ---</pre><p><a href="./">Back</a></p><p><a href=http://www.dreamhost.com/donate.cgi?id=216><img border=0 alt="Donate towards our web hosting bill!" src=https://secure.newdream.net/donate1.gif></a></p></body></html>
