Last words
A/N: I don't know what the hell popped into my head when I wrote this. Honestly, I was bored. It's actually quite sad and unfortunate. Hm... Enjoy.
You pull my head into your lap but I can't feel my body. It's too heavy to lift at this point and I'm sorry to say, I can't hear your voice anymore Soi. Forcefully I open my eyes. My heart is clenching, maybe because it's failing, or maybe because I'm seeing you hurt. I don't know. You're tears run down my face and they feel so warm against my skin. Slowly, almost mechanically, I force my hand to lift and I place it on your cheek. It's wet, but I can barely feel. My breath is ragged but you can see me smiling. Be happy. I died for you. You clutch me closer to your chest and I can see my blood drying on your clothes. "Don't cry.." I whisper to you, but I'm not sure if I said that right. My voice sounds muffled and far away..just like yours. You tell me not to go.
You say. "Don't leave me." I nod.
"I promise you I won't." I struggle to say. Maybe it's a little bit much to ask for at the moment but please, please hold me. It's getting cold now and I don't like it. Your hand burns against my cheek. I look into your silver eyes and they lack the warmth and the strength and life I know were there. You're not lifeless..like I'm beginning to come. But of all the thing's I've done. I just want you to know..
"I love you."
I'll look for you on the other side, I promise. I made a promise not to leave you and I won't. It may seem like I'm gone, but trust me, I'm with you. You just have to believe me. Hold me dear to your heart Soi. Because I hold you dear to mine. That's why I took that shot for you. That's why I died for you.
"Do you love me?" I ask as my life slips away and my hand falls. You grab it, but I know you can feel me growing cold. I know. I'm numb. But before I die, I just want to hear you say it.
"I love you, Yoruichi."
A cold tear runs down my face. "Will you be here when I wake up?" I croak. My voice is fading.
"Yes." You smile sadly. "Now get some rest.."
And I smile knowing those are your last words. I'm sorry, but my vision is beginning to fade. You're blurry but I can still tell your crying. Your tears are still on my face. Trust me, it doesn't hurt anymore, really. I can finally rest in peace, right? I'm just glad your safe. I don't want you to dwell on me, I want your life to be happy. That's why I did this. So you can live. Live Soi, live and be free. The lord knows I was. And I'm happy. I'm content, just knowing you love me. Finally, as my final breath slips away my world fades into darkness, I smile proudly. I hope you're proud of me.
