florence + the machine's howl
"screaming in the dark, I howl when we're apart"
Every part of his body hurt, he was being burned alive. He could feel his flesh peeling off and Tomoe, wonderful and beautiful Tomoe, was bleeding and being taken from him and he could do nothing but writhe in pain.
Gasping for breath he watched as the gang of killers pulled her out by her hair and crying out in pain.
The photos on the wall were burning and wilting as he fell, completely spent and near death.
He looked as Kaoru's creation was destroyed by the fire. The only good thing he had done was being taken from him and in the end he couldn't even keep a simple promise.
Blood ran down from the wound on his temple and the last words he ever spoke were whispered ones meant for someone who would never hear them.
"I'm sorry, Kaoru."
"drag my teeth across your chest to taste your beating heart"
Shortest ever, yet to the point. On going yet slow.
Kenshin's point of view.
