Last Words by Broken Angel

A flash of a sword…

A blinding bolt of pain…

I'm falling…

Falling…

So cold…

It's so cold…

Nani?

Something warm…

Something dripping on to my face…

Tears…from violet eyes.

A boy…no…

Hitokiri Battousai…but yet a boy too.

Don't leave! Don't leave me!

Who's saying that? Is it he?

No. No. Please don't leave. He needs me!

No. It's not him. It's my shredded heart pleading, begging…

Begging Life to stay.

No, Death said cruelly

As it pulled me closer and closer. No.

Your time on Earth is over. It's time for you to move on.

My heart gave one, last desperate cry,

But…will he ever be happy again?

Life turned and gave me one last glance,

Yes, he will, my dear. He's strong, that boy of yours.

And then, she disappeared into the darkness, along with whispered words,

" Don't cry. This kind of ending is for the best."

I closed my eyes and smiled for the last time.

And as I spiraled down into the eternal darkness,

I had a final, fleeting image of a young, smiling girl with crystal blue eyes

Whispering the words I had never gotten to say:

" Aishiteru, Kenshin."

~ The End ~

Broken Angel: Well, well, it's finally finished * grins * Now I'll have to go study for my history mid-year paper tomorrow… * gasp * It's almost two already! Bye, people, I have a date with my darling Qin Shih Huang. Don't forget to R&R – All kinds of comments are accepted except those from my * cough * best friend Sheba, who is sure to give a long, long, long review spouting rubbish…I know from experience…but it's not like this is going to stop her, though…

Disclaimer: Tomoe is not mine. Hitokiri Battousai is not mine. Both belong to Nobuhiro-sama. But when I marry a rich man in the future, I am going to buy the ownership of Rurouni Kenshin from him. ( hehheh, just joking, don't sue me…) Also… uh…Life and Death belong to …everyone?

Dedication: To me, myself, and I, and also anyone who read and reviewed this fic. Except Sheba. * evil laughter *.
