INTRO -
Deep crimson soaked through the pure white snow. There was no way to stop the bleeding now. Hiroshi knelt down next to the almost lifeless body of Akina. He was struggling to fight the tears back. Her beautiful sky blue kimono was now sprinkled with tiny snowflakes and masked the blood, which seeped through the silk. He took her by the shoulders and lifted the top half of her body. Akina's eyelids softly opened to reveal sea green eyes. They looked even more beautiful now knowing that he would miss the way they sparkled when she looked at him. Although her eyes glimmered like ocean water, they seemed somewhat dreary and happy to finally be put to rest. She could barely forge a smile, which made Hiroshi realize that by now the tears were streaming down his dark skin. He held her closer and tighter, making a promise to himself that he would never let go. He brushed her auburn hair out the way of her face and lightly kissed her on the forehead. Her eyes lit up and she found some energy to string a short sentence together.
"Don't … don't dwell over me… when I'm gone," she paused and recoiled in pain ", I – I will be holding you close."
And with that she placed her hand over her heart and gave a sweet smile. Her voice was soft and angelic and the words lingered in his head long after she had finished speaking. He whimpered and part of him inside shredded to pieces. He could no longer hold it back. He had to say it…
"Akina…. I …"
She placed one finger on his lips and it was clear, he could read it in her eyes. He didn't need to say it anymore and now he too felt at peace. His eyes stared into hers until he realized she was gone and her hand that was once warm and touching his lips was limp and hung from her body almost touching the snow. He drew her even closer and cried on her shoulder.
A single tear rolled down her cheek and fell onto the crimson snow…
