Beating. I hear that noise in my ears.

Beating. I feel pain. Pain of hot blood gushing from my open wounds.

Beating. That sound is loud. Too loud. What is it?

Beating. I have fallen. I see that at last. I am delusional. I can't even see straight. I have fallen.

Beating. He is there, standing dumbstruck. His eyes wide with disbelief.

Beating. There goes that sound again. In my ears that is all I hear.

Beating. The pain. I know It. I feel it. It's in my heart, not my body.

Beating. Why did I never tell him?

Beating. I wonder if he's thinking the same thing. If he's thinking about me.

Beating. That sound never ceases.

Beating. I love him. I love him true. If only I could've told him.

Beating. I know how he would react. He would just tell me off. Say my love was no good for him.

Beating. Of course, I would just keep going. I would love him all the same. Even if I could never have him.

Beating. My heart. My soul. I am leaving. I am forever leaving. Like before.

Beating. Blood as red as my own hair is rushing over the concrete.

Beating. I close my eyes. I see him one last time.

Beating. He is crying. I see jet black tears rolling down his face.

Beating. I love you, Hiei. I love you and I still do. Even n death.

Beating. My breathing stops.

Beating.

Beating.

Beating.

Silence.
