Story: Unforgotten
Summary: As his body grew stiff in her arms, she knew his soul would soon be gone. Shifting her fingers, she slowly bent forward, her soft lips meeting his. 'Gin...In the end, you left me with nothing. You probably knew whatever it was, it would most likely only hold me back...That's what I loved about you...'

Her tears fell, blurring her vision of him, as she stared down in disbelief. Her heart skipped a beat, and her breath caught in her throat. All she could think was, 'don't die.'
"You can't die...," she whispered, placing her hand on the side of his face. "Gin... Don't die..."
She trailed of into silence, and after a long moment, she looked away in the midst of choked sobs. "...Ran-chan,"
She jumped at hearing his voice, before she met his gaze. Gin gave a somewhat unfitting sad smile. "you're the same as you were back then... You're still crying... In the end, I couldn't change that, after all..."
She averted her gaze. "The same goes for you. You've always acted on your own. You've never let me in. That's how you've always been..."
He studied her face one last time, before finally closing his eyes. 'Still... I know you'll be alright... For that, I'm really glad...'
As his body grew stiff in her arms, she knew his soul would soon be gone. Shifting her fingers, she slowly bent forward, her soft lips meeting his. 'In the end, you left me with nothing. You probably knew whatever it was, it would only hold me back...'
She gave a small smile, as his soul dispersed in her arms. '...That's what I loved about you, Gin.'
Maybe he hadn't left anything for her to hang on to, but it was because of that that she would be able to move on and get stronger. Indeed, that was what he'd wanted for her...
A/N: What do you think? Sorry if it's slightly out of character, but will you maybe be willing to review, anyway...?
