Blood was draining from his lively face. She rested his head on her lap and let the bleeding commence. She tried her best to cover the wounds but her efforts were futile. He was going to die and there was nothing she could do about it.
The battle itself was brutal. Chase Young came up with a new way to kill the monks but one thing lead to another and Raimundo went into the line of fire. He wasn't going to have Chase win at any cost. Even when if it includes sacrificing himself.
Tears streamed down her face like a waterfall. She was huffing and hiccuping from the pain that tore her heart. The whole of Chase's lair fell silent. Even Chase didn't say a word. The other monks stared at the two with shock spread over them. Their friend is dying.
Just as he was drawing his last breath, he cupped her cheek with his blood soaked hand. She opened her eyes and looked down to see his smiling face. He knows his fate.
"K-Kimiko... I love you..." he whispered as he let out his last breath, and shut his eyes to an eternal sleep. She cried even harder as she buried her face into his chest. She felt his strong heart stop and not a breath was taken in. Raimundo Pedrosa was no more.
