5 drabbles: Fruits Basket

Title: Normal Sunrise
Words: 100
Challenge: #31 - sunrise (table)
Rating: G
Characers/Pairings: Ren
Warnings: not really spoilerish
Author's Notes: Comments are more than welcome!

Ren sighed heavily and looked upward.

There was light breaking through the dark skies in the distance. The sun was rising. She frowned, glancing behind her toward the door she had just come out of. It was tightly shut; there was no light coming from the cracks, signaling the person inside was sleeping.

Ren reached down and straightened her clothes.

The sunrise was pretty, but normal, just a mixture of yellows, reds, and oranges. The clouds surrounding the protruding colors were a dark purple. It seemed like such an ordinary sunrise, but Ren had sweet revenge pumping through her veins.

Title: Towards Him
Words: 100
Challenge: #32 - sunset (table)
Rating: G
Characers/Pairings: Kyo/Tohru
Warnings: not really spoilerish

The sunset wrapped around him; before he knew it, night had fallen.

Kyo sat in his gruesome cat form by the lake, unmoving. A cold breeze picked up suddenly and chilled him to his core.

There were footsteps in the distance in the surrounding woods. It was clear a moment later they were rushing towards him, not away. They were rapid, like the person was running.

A moment later, the figure was upon him. She stood there, frozen in fear. Her face was twisted in a mixture of pain and fright.

Tohru began to cry when she saw him. "Kyo!"

Title: Knew Too Much
Words: 100
Challenge: #33 - too much(table)
Rating: G
Characers/Pairings: Hatori/Kana, implied Akito
Warnings: spoilers for the character Kana
Author's Notes: Comments are more than welcome!

She knew too much. Her body shook with the knowledge. Her mind ran away from her. She couldn't handle knowing; she couldn't bear the blame.

Kana-- his sweet Kana --knew too much, saw too much. Akito made sure she regretted it; Hatori made sure she forgot it.

Her eyes were unfocused, her whole conscious burdened with their secret.

Hatori buried her memories easily. He hated himself for it, but he hated himself more for making such memories with her to create guilt and blame that she couldn't cope.

He split between happiness and regret when she married someone else.

Title: Might Not Be Enough
Words: 100
Challenge: #34 - not enough (table)
Rating: G
Characers/Pairings: Shigure, Tohru
Warnings: might be spoiler for Shigure's true intentions
Author's Notes: Comments are more than welcome!

Shigure knew it wasn't enough.

His love for Akito wasn't enough for her to choose him over Kureno. It wasn't enough to make her to love him in return.

Sleeping with Ren was the revenge he sought, yet it wasn't enough to numb the pain of rejection or remove the burden of his love.

He wondered if his plan was enough to break the curse. He hoped that whatever she had inside her and whatever she did, would be enough to free them all of their weight.

But Tohru might not be enough to break the curse on her own.

Title: Last Word
Words: 100
Challenge: #41 - shapes (table)
Rating: G
Characers/Pairings: Hatori/Kana, two unnamed characters, Akito implied
Warnings: might be spoilerish to Hatori the character
Author's Notes: Comments are more than welcome!

All he could see were abstract shapes coming closer to him. Spots of color were here and there; unclear objects somewhere in the distance. He didn't know how close they were to him actually.

He opened his other eye-- nothing changed.

"He's half blind in one eye," someone whispered gravely.

"That damn Akito," a more familiar voice muttered.

"Otherwise, he's fine."

"I'm not sure he will agree with you."

"Are you sure he's okay?" This voice was sweet, angelic but riddled with anxiety.

"He'll be fine Kana."

"Kana" was the last word he heard when Hatori drifted back to sleep.
