I remember tears streaming down your face, when i said "I'll never let you go"
she wondered if he had ever heard those words before. He was bleeding and as pale as death, but, he grasped her hand as though it was the only thing keeping him alive.
When all those shadows almost killed your light
the attack had been brief yet devastating. His hollow had seized control during a fight with a Hollow and went on a rampage, when trying to regain to regain control, they stumbled and the Hollow took the
chance as it presented itself.
I remember you said "Don't leave me here, alone."
he had practicality cried those words when she tried to go get help, even though she knew it was futile.
But all that's dead and gone and past, tonight
so, staying by him looking down upon his pale face and stained orange locks, she waited.
Don't you dare look out your window, Darling, everything's on fire
using Shunpo she had ran to help him, but, She still hadn't gotten there in time to save him .she killed the Hollow afterwards.
The war outside our door keeps raging on
she knows that he hasn't been the same since the Winter War. She knows why he embraces the idea of death so easily. she also know why he had asked her to stay."whenever you fight from this point on, there is one thing that you must never do. and that is to die alone,"
Hold on to this lullaby, even when the music's gone. Gone
looking at his face, she began to sing. It was a simple melody, no understandable words yet, she leaned down and crooned it in his ear. He smiled as gentle as the breeze and listened.
Just close your eyes
his eyes, bloodshot from lack of sleep, closed. And his ragged breathing slowed.
the sun is going down
the twilight fell. Golden shadows fell, too. His tortured frame was racked with hacking coughs.
you'll be alright
but she knew he wouldn't. His wound was too grievous. Even Uohana-taichou, she knew, couldn't heal him now.
no one can hurt you now
this wasn't true either. There was no way his mind hadn't gotten through the War unscathed. She had seen his careless demeanour so that we won't worry, but she had also seen him flinch when some one- ANY one touches him.
come morning light
she remembers him looking around as the sun rose, amazed that he had survived the night. She had winced to see that. Some one his age shouldn't be amazed because of that. He looked around again to make sure that there were no more enemies. That was when she almost cried. Some one his age shouldn't NEED to do that,
you and I'll be safe and sound
and she knows that the wetness on her face isn't just rain, because the small, gentle, loving smile on his face would be the last one he would ever make.
