Title:
**In The Arms of My Angel**
I could feel it. The end was coming near, and he was coming closer. Kenshin. I got out of my bed, not
caring about the pain that was running havoc through my body. His pain was worse. I looked back one last time,
at my son sleeping, keeping guard. Just like his father. To bad he didn't know it.
"Farewell Kenji. I love you." I whispered. He didn't move. So I walked forward.
*Spend all your time waiting
for that second chance
for a break that would make it okay
there's always one reason
to feel not good enough
and it's hard at the end of the day*
The pain in my body was agonizing. But I wanted to go on, had to go on. For him. For us. I knew he was
enduring the same thing as me. Just to get to me. Oh, he is so close, I can smell his sweet scent, see his flaming red hair... there he is...
just as I thought. Under the sakura trees. We both fell against each other, weeping, kissing, apologizing for our mistakes. So sweet this moment.
*I need some distraction
oh beautiful release
memory seeps from my veins
let me be empty
and weightless and maybe
I'll find some peace tonight*
"Koishii, " Kenshin whispered, "I thought I'd never see you again, that I would not hold you again, to see you
smile again..." he labored at breathing and I knew it was getting close. I felt a sinking in my heart. No God, please not now.
But I had to be strong for him, so I put on a smile for him.
*In the arms of an angel
fly away from here
from this dark cold hotel room
and the endlessness that you fear*
"Kenshin. I waited for you. I knew you were coming back. No matter how long it took, I always
knew you loved me and our son, and that you'd come back to us. You should see how well Kenji is. He's all grown up now.
He's exactly like you..." my voice trailed off as I thought that he would never see his son marry or have kids.
*You are pulled from the wreckage
of your silent reverie
you're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort there*
"Kaoru. I know what you are thinking," he took in a deep breath. " and I don't want you to be upset, that I don't."
He looked at me with his violet/blue eyes, " I'm at peace with myself. For what it's worth. I'm just glad that I had you and Kenji in my life. Because without you and Kenji I wouldn't have a life worth living. My past is full shadows, but right now, my life is full of light, even if this the end, I consider this my beginning."
*So tired of the straight line
and everywhere you turn
there's vultures and thieves at your back
and the storm keeps on twisting
you keep on building the lie
that you make up for all that you lack*
He then started coughing up blood, which wasn't a new sight to me. We were both sick. This disease that eats away at your body, has no cure. And I gladly accepted it from Kenshin, when we made our son Kenji. How beautiful that night was, with the fireflies
dancing around us, and the stars twinkling above us. And now, this is it. This is how it's going to end.
*It don't make no difference
escaping one last time
it's easier to believe
in this sweet madness
oh this glorious sadness that brings me to my knees*
Kenshin lay his head on my lap, and I put my hands on his head. Trying to comfort him as the end drew near. He looked up
at me and said, "Koishii, I do not fear death. You do not have to worry, this is my ending, as it will be yours..." his breathing got more
shallow. Tears misted over my eyes, and I turned my head so he could not see my face. He raised his hand to my face, and wiped
away my tears. He tried to say something but I could tell the blood was filling up his lungs. I took his hand into mine and let the tears
flow my cheeks onto his face.
*In the arms of an angel...*
His breathing got slower and slower. I closed my eyes and waited. Waited for the end. His breathing stopped and his
hand went limp in mine. When I opened my eyes I realized the sakura tree was blossoming.
Then Kenshin's words echoed in my head... "My past is full shadows, but right now, my life is full of light, even if this the end, I consider this my beginning."
*You're in the arms of the angel
may you find some comfort here...*
"Aishiteru Kenshin-kun. Sayonara." I got up, and the pain didn't hurt as much although it was still very much there,
and I made my way back to the dojo. As I turned to look one last time I noticed a dragonfly, flying by where Kenshin's body lay. I smiled.
