Sasori x Kagome
There was blood dribbling down from her mouth—so lovely the color was—and he seemed to paint it across her cheek with the tip of her finger.
"S-Sas-sori," she rasped, despite the brilliant smile on her face.
"You can't leave me." His eyes were blank—she recognized the deep, haunted look settled underneath the underneath—as he watched her weakly lift her hand, painting his own cheek the way he had her own. "You promised me you'd never leave me."
"I'm not leaving you, silly." She couldn't really laugh anymore. "You won't let me."
"No, no, I won't let you."
"S-sa-saso-ri." It was hard to speak. "You kn-ow what I wa-ant."
He did not reply, merely beginning what he knew she had wanted all along. Her life slipped away beneath his watch, but, in the end, she was beautiful forever.
