Angsty one-shot. The song is Our Last Kiss by Taylor Swift.

Soi Fon stared out of the window, tears glazing her eyes. Ripping her gaze away from the moon, which appeared to glow through the misty air, she turned her head and glanced at the small digital clock sitting beside her bed. 1:58 AM.

A smirk appeared, despite the pain that wracked through her body. It always seemed to be that time, whenever she looked. The irony of how a time that was once so beautiful, so treasured, anticipated even, could cause so much pain.

She slid from the bed, feet patting across the floor as she ambled towards her bookcase, and reached for a dog-eared box from atop it.

She pulled it out, a sorrowful smile creeping on her face at the thought of her.

It was a gift.

Soi Fon remembered the day she got it, or to be more precise- the morning; the time; their time. At first, she couldn't understand the need, or how to use it, but eventually it became a part of her everyday life. Now, a vital escape.

She caressed the top of the small device with her thumb gently, as if she could relive the now long-dead memories. With cloudy eyes, so full of usually repressed emotion, she turned it on and guided the earphones to her ears.

I still remember the look on your face
Lit through the darkness at 1:58
The words that you whispered
For just us to know
You told me you loved me
So why did you go away
Away

A hand ghosted my face in a nervous movement, agitation clear in the way the long fingers twitched. "I love you, Soi Fon." A gasp; silence. "I love you too... Lady Yoruichi."

That familiar face, that familiar feline-like face, was just visible through the darkness, lighted only by the reflection of the full moon that shined on her violet locks.

I do recall now, the smell of the rain
Fresh on the pavement

Pursed lips, a confused mind, taking in the minor chaos before her. Speaking to another, though not moving her eyes away from the fascinating sight before her, she speaks; "The human world is so strange, Lady Yoruichi. They scatter like ants, hiding away at the sight of a mere few raindrops."

A short laugh and a hand on her shoulder draws her gaze away to be met instead with that Cheshire grin. "Heh, not so much Soi Fon; you're the strange one! No-one wants to get wet!"

I ran off the plane
That July ninth
The beat of your heart
It jumps through your shirt
I can still feel your arms

"I missed you so much Lady Yoruichi."

She wants to regret her words, her second of weakness, but arms wrap around her in a tight embrace, and she mutters back and for a moment, it feels like a strength.

"I know you did... I missed you too little one."

But now I'll go, sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know
How to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

"L-lady Yoruichi? I... I don't understand!" She's frantic. She's hurting. She's confused.

"I'm sorry Soi Fon."

She wonders for a moment if the emotion she thinks she see's on her face is even real.

"Please la- Yoruichi, please don't leave me again... please."

"I'm sorry, I'm so, so sorry Soi Fon, little one."

There's tears in both of their eyes and they're both hurting, they're both confused. But she has to go, and she knows that she cannot take her with her. So she takes that step forward and leans down. One hand grasps roughly at Soi Fon's chin, the other gently brushing her cheek, as she takes her last kiss before whispering a goodbye and melding into the night.

"Yo-Yoruichi! YORUICHI!"

She screams after her, but it does no good.

I do remember the swing of your step
The life of the party, you're showing off again
And I'd roll my eyes and then you pull me in
I'm not much for dancing, but for you I did
Because I love your handshake, meeting my father
I love how you walk with your hands in your pockets
How you kissed me when I was in the middle of saying something
There's not a day I don't miss those rude interruptions

You were always so... public. So open and loud and brash and people would know where you were and when and maybe that'll be the hardest part. Your absence will be so obvious. So obvious that other people will see, will see that I'm hurting, despite my best to hide it. You were always with a smile and a smirk, and me with a scowl. We were opposites, and everyone agreed. Whispered conversations about how someone so carefree could lead to someone so... hard. I can't help but wonder... if that's why you left, that you finally saw what others already knew.

And I'll go sit on the floor
Wearing your clothes
All I know is
I don't know
How to be something you miss
I never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

I never knew how to b e what you wanted. I'll never know how to be what you want... I don't even know if I knew you at all. At a time, so long ago, we were happy and perfect. And we became closer, and life was worth living for that little while... But then you ran away, again, and all I can feel is that emptiness, and that last kiss you left on my lips. I question my sanity when I relive that moment, that in such pain did I confuse, for I thought you felt something too.

So I'll watch your life in pictures like I used to watch you sleep
And I feel you forget me like I used to feel you breathe
And I keep up with our old friends
Just to ask them how you are
Hope it's nice where you are

I knew where you were, the same place you always were, for a while at least. I didn't even need to send people to know. But now not even your closest friends know, and I am not the only one left wondering what happened any more. I take little reprieve in knowing that it was not me that drove you away, for once again I am left without answers that only you could provide.

And I hope the sun shines and it's a beautiful day
And something reminds you, you wish you had stayed
You can plan for a change in the weather and time
But I never planned on you changing your mind

I stand on the roof, as the sun rises, and let the first warm rays of the day soak into me. For that while you were here, you would always join me, in cat form of course. My mind drifts and I wonder if you are somewhere warm, if you think of me. Do you even remember me? ...Of course not. It has been so long... and I, am not worth remembering.

So I'll go sit on the floor wearing your clothes
All that I know is
I don't know
How to be something you miss
Never thought we'd have a last kiss
Never imagined we'd end like this
Your name, forever the name on my lips

Just like our last kiss
Forever the name on my lips
Forever the name on my lips
Just like our last

So long, and yet... I still can't forget. So at night in the darkness, when I'm all alone, the tears fall forth and I succumb to my pain, a pain that only answers can help subdue. Answer's I'll never have.

Soi Fon collapes onto her bed, drifting off to sleep with tears still streaming from her eyes and her fist clenched tightly. She mumbles the name of her lost love and she falls into the darkness.

"...Soi Fon..."

The voice is nothing more than a whisper.

"I'm so sorry."
