A/N: This short lil' songfic is told in the POV of Hatori, because listening to this song, "Last Kiss", by Pearl Jam, made me think of their relationship. I have to say, I feel so sorry for Hatori.........I know, I sound pathetic, but I don't care. Enjoy.
Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven, so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
It's all my fault for being foolish. Kana's gone, and I can't do anything about it. It's the curse, after all.........I can't really do anything to help it.
We were out on a date in my daddy's car,
we hadn't driven very far.
There in the road, straight ahead,
a car was stalled, the engine was dead.
I couldn't stop, so I swerved to the right.
I'll never forget, the sound that night--
the screamin tires, the bustin glass,
the painful scream that I-- heard last.
I told Akito we wished to marry, then.........he threw a vase at me and it hurt my eye......... Kana sat behind me while Akito yelled at her, and I sat there clutching at my eye. The blood smelt so fresh, so.........alive. I didn't think about the pain shooting through my body at that moment, though -- it didn't matter at all to me. All that mattered was Kana. Akito had no right to yell at her like that. It wasn't her fault. It was mine.

When I woke up, the rain was pourin down.
There were people standin all around.
Somethin warm runnin through my eyes,
but I found my baby somehow that night.
I raised her head, she looked and said,
"Hold me darlin' just a little while."
I held her close, I kissed her--our last kiss.
I found the love that I knew I would miss
well now she's gone, even though I hold her tight
I lost the love, my life-- that night.
The only thing I could do.........was erase her memories. I had to -- everytime I tried to confront her, to tell her it was alright, to tell her it wasn't her fault -- she would break down and cry. No one could get through to her. It started to eat her away.........she fell ill.........her heart, her mind, she.........was completely destroyed, physically and emotionally. I had to help her, I loved her.........and she loved me. The only thing that I could do was erase her memories.
She told me.........that she was sorry she couldn't help me........she couldn't protect me.........but it was I who failed in my duty of our love. I failed to protect her. I couldn't help it -- she meant so much to me. She was the one who rescued me from the cold shell that I had become over the years.
It happened at my house. She sat in front of me, crying. I couldn't look directly into her eyes, lest I change my mind. I slid my hand over her face and felt her warm tears coating my palm.
She lifted her hand and I took it in mine, sqeezing lightly. She sobbed once and said to me, "I'm sorry.........I couldn't protect you.........forgive me." Before a blinding light shot from my hand through her head, depleting her memories of me and all of our love. No -- I'm wrong. It didn't destroy our love. I still held it myself. That's why I'm the frozen snow, the memories frozen in my mind so they would not melt away.
Oh where, oh where can my baby be?
The Lord took her away from me.
She's gone to heaven so I've got to be good,
So I can see my baby when I leave this world.
I hope that Kana is alright now. Please, Lord, let her be happy.
