Allen Walker X Kagome Higurashi
We re not going to make it this time, are we?
A soft smile alighted her face as she sat still against the cracked concrete wall. Her eyes which were underlined by heavy semi-circles and half lidded with fatigue blinking questionably.
A supple cough and soon there was an explosion of lovely red that showered onto her cheeks and coated the bottom half of her chin. She turned her weary orbs towards her friend who was seated beside her. The same exhausted look was evident in his translucent gray eyes and he too, had been blanketed in his own blood.
A joking smile.
Would it make you feel better, if I told you we were?
His voice was gentle, just as it always had been.
She could feel as he took hold of her hand closest to him, she winced a bit for the tips had been burnt during her fight, she d used her Anti-Akuma weapon for too long.
He gave her upper wrist a gentle squeeze and then, slowly brought the burnt tips of her fingers to his lips, pecking them.
She shook her head, stopping abruptly as jolts of incredible pain were sent through her body. She gasped, causing her to choke on the blood stuck in the back of her throat. Her shoulders shook as she went into a coughing fit, when she had finished, she wheezed out a shaky breath.
N-no , lies are pointless now.
The male agreed silently as he lowered her hand back down beside her, between them, but he never removed his hand from on top of hers.
He analyzed her from his peripheral vision and could feel an unhappiness settle in the pit of his stomach as he saw just how badly her wounds had been.
The upper half of her shoulder all the way up to her neck was charcoal black from where it had been burnt. The left side of her abdomen was shredded to pieces, and her right foot, had been crushed.
He , as he took notice, hadn t been in any better a state. His anti-Akuma weapon was destroyed, he had three deep gashes and two puncture wounds. His cursed eye, was no longer in place.
Seated together, a large puddle of blood had formed around their figures.
They both knew that there was no way they could reverse the damage, but there was also no reason , not anymore. They had fought the battle, they had done all they could, they had won, and now that their main reason for living had been accomplished, they found that dieing here wasn t a bad thing.
He looked up at the sky, watching as the moon slowly crept behind a cloud to hide, Kagome followed suit, craning her neck as far as it would allow her to.
Allen?
Hm?
Both remained quiet for awhile more, enjoying the familiarity of each other s company for the final time. Kagome s eyes were slowly becoming glazed.
Promise me one thing.
Allen smiled, his fingers twitching, trying to give her wrist a reassuring pinch, but he was too weak to move.
Kagome grimaced as she tried to get past the blood in her throat, she pushed herself, just a little more and could feel as her chest groaned in disapproval.
Promise me, that we ll meet again.
With those words, there was a deafening silence. Kagome s eyes slowly closed, the moon coming out just in time to reflect in her eyes. her body collapsed onto Allen, her head leaning against his shoulder. A soft smile formed over her features.
Allen held his breath, the unhappiness that had been there, slowly falling away. He was happy to see that Kagome no longer had to endure the pain of her death , but at the same time, he felt incredibly heavy with sadness because he had seen her die, but he had seen her as she was before. The beautifully serene Kagome Higurashi.
He watched the moon , his smile wavering as tears formed at the corner of his eyes. His teeth caught the inner wall of his lip as he tried to hold in his sobs. The tears flooded down his cheeks, intermingling with his blood and then, he smiled. He closed his eyes and smiled the happiest smile he d ever had and he offered it to the heavens.
I Promise.
He opened his eyes and watched the moon in all its glory. His fingers pushed in-between Kagome s and he sat quietly watching the moon with her.
A cloud came in front of the moon, and Allen s eyes became sleep lidded. He gave a small smile, a sudden cough spewing blood onto his chin one more before his eyes too started to glaze over.
I promise that we will meet again.
The Moon hid behind the clouds and slowly Allen s eyes closed into a peaceful slumber, and he collapsed onto Kagome, his chin resting In the soft blue-black of her hair.
The moon was uncovered again, its light bathing both figures who adorn smiles on their faces. Smiles for a promise they made to each other, to one day meet again.
We will meet again
