A/N: Whipping them out here people!
Chapter 26: Goodbye
The first thing to hit her was the overly clean smell of hospital sheets. Then came the red-tinged light through her eyelids. Finally, she heard the beep of a heart monitor and Levin's hiss in her ear. She squinted, carefully opening her eyes and registering that she was still in her... marriage... outfit. She could here feet shuffling softly as they attempted to get closer, but Levin was having none of it. Even little Senard had joined him, tangling around Levin's much larger neck.
She sat up slowly, holding her head carefully and covering her ears against the hum of the machinery. Her head hurt! She blinked rapidly for a minute then looked around, her eyes slowly coming into focus. Doctor stood a few feet away, eyes warily flicking between her and the snakes twined together at her side. She was in a small hospital room, and she could hear the boys talking outside the door. Their voices held tones of worry and she sat a little straighter, turning her body so her legs hung off of the cot.
One of the doctors made a noise of protest, but she simply brushed past him, walking carefully towards the door. Out in the hall, the boys stood, staring at her. She knew it could only have been hours after the fight, but she just kept walking. She sensed Kurama on the far side of the door directly across the hall.
Walking into the curtained off room, she watched his breath cloud the oxygen mask. Tucking the blanket around his still form, she watched the heart monitor slowly slow down. His breathing was more difficult now, and she realized she was crying. A warm hand rested softly on her shoulder, and calloused fingers smoothd her hair away from her neck. She took the comforting gesture in the spirit it was intended.
Thinking about it, she had nothing left. She was mated to a demon who would destry the worlds with her power if she lived. Fixing her descision firmly in her mind, she leaned forward, letting Yusuke' hand slip off her shoulder. Pressing her lips firmly to Kurama's, she breathed her last breath into him before going limp. The only sound in the room was a heart monitor beeping ever more steadily.
