Usual disclaimers apply, just an idea that popped out of my weird mind, but whoever said that there is such thing as a "normal" mind?

"Holding my last breath"

He couldn't believe what just happened, it was just so unreal. Blood, so much blood, but not his or his enemy, but hers. She wore what used to be a snow white kimono, not it was a deep scarlet which covered her, it was her blood. She opened her eyes to see her beloved watch her with a look of pure shock and disbelief. She knew she didn't have time so she began to say her last words to him.

Hold on to me love, You know I can't stay long. All I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid. Can you hear me? Can you feel me in your arms?

Holding my last breath, Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you. Sweet raptured light, It ends here tonight.

She directed her look to the deep forest and he did the same.

I'll miss the winter, A world of fragile things. Look for me in the white forest Hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me, I can taste it in your tears

Holding my last breath, Safe inside myself Are all my thoughts of you. Sweet raptured light, It ends here tonight.

'A look into the future after the incident' Kenshin is having a dream about her, but wakes up only to find out is just another dream.

Closing your eyes to disappear, You pray your dreams will leave you here, But still you wake and know the truth, No one's there

'Returning to the scene'

Say goodnight, Don't be afraid. Calling me, calling me as you fade to black

He saw the light from her eyes slowly fading, he called her name, but she only smiled, then everything turned black.

Say goodnight (Holding my last breath), Don't be afraid (Safe inside myself). Calling me, calling me (Are all my thoughts of you). Sweet raptured light, It ends here tonight.

He just held her close to him, while crying and calling her. He didn't know that this would ever happen, but it did. Still he would always remember her, his first love.

Hi minna-san, I'm Misao Shinomori for the ones who haven't read "In The Darkness of Dawn." The idea to write this songfic was from the song "My Last Breath" by Evanescence, it just suits Tomoe's last moments so well. And besides Tmoe is one of my favorite characters, but of course Misao is first. Well thank you for those who read this and hopefully I'll write more stories before I start college this fall. Ja ne and if you want to email me here's my address: misao137@hotmail.com and misaoaoshi7@yahoo.com. Well sayonara!!!
