[[This is taken place after Tamahome dies, in…. damn, whatever epi or ova he died in, I forgot. In explanation to how I thought of this fic, let's just say I was listening to 'The Cure' By the way, the song 'Burn' is really good.]]
In the middle of the night, Hotohori gets up out of his bed, and walks to a table in his room where a dagger rests. He picks up the dagger, and holds it as if he were ready to stab someone. Slowly, he walks over to the door, opens it, and walks out. His feet lead him to Miaka's room, and he goes inside, shutting the door quietly behind him. Hotohori walks to her bed, where she is sleeping soundly, probably dreaming about food [[ -_-;;;;]].
She wakes up, and sees Hotohori standing next to her bed, not noticing the dagger in his hand.
" Hotohori…." she looks up at him, and realizes that he's sleepwalking. She gets up to lead him back to his room. As soon as she stands up, she feels something sharp going into her stomach. In extreme pain, she lowers to the ground holding her wound and lets out a soft cry.
Hotohori snaps out of his sleep, and looks down on the floor. He sees Miaka, who is obviously in a lot of pain. "Miaka! What's wrong!?" He lowers to the ground beside her, and puts his hand on her back. Pausing to realize why her back felt so….. He looks at his hand, and realizes that she was bleeding. "Miaka, let me help you."
Miaka looks up at him, agony in her expression. " Get away from me." She lifts one of her hands and pushes him away. Though she wasn't very successful because she was so weak from all the blood that had left her body. Realizing that, she asked him, " Why did you do that? I…. I thought you wanted to protect me."
Hotohori was alarmed, " Me…" was the only thing that he could manage to say. How could he have done that? When did he do that? He just woke up and he was in Miaka's room….. 'oh no,' he thought ' I did…. How else could I end up here with…' he looks down at his hand, seeing the dagger in his hand, Miaka's blood surrounding it. Blood on his hand… Blood on his shirt….
" Tamahome…." Miaka spoke softly, " I'll be with you now, forever." Then went from her sitting position on the floor, to a laying position as the life left her.
Hotohori picks up her lifeless body, tears running down his face. " Miaka, I promised that I'd always protect you. But I couldn't. I'm so sorry…." He uses the dagger, " I'll see you soon, Miaka…" and stabs it directly to his heart. And falls next to Miaka's dead body.
