Chapter 16:

Words Of Aoi:Where you are to lay,My broken heart will be there to stay.

ONNAMUSHA




My eyes won't stop staring at him.
I can't get his taste out of my mouth or get past the way he looked at me,so softly and so happily like everything he ever wanted just happened to him all at once.

I knelt down after he pushed me off of him,his blood began to pool around him but he just looked on at me,smiled with such a deep dimpled smile that went straight to his eyes.
I had never seen such a dying smile look so beautiful.

"I love you,I wish....I wish so much of everything that we neither got to have....I am sorry Akira....."

He can't seem to speak,he puts the hand that kept the last of his blood at bay and takes my hand and remains smiling,even when he stares to the heavens and seems to be ready to see his MAKER.

I look up after he has finally passed on and see the beauty he saw to even in this dark night.

Sakura blossoms,they fall even now where fire is at a distance and near winter but there are actually sakura blossoms falling on us.

I lay down beside him,content my few remaining hours left be here by his side and hoping to see him again soon enough.

"Goodbye my love,even when I vex you here I will vex you soon enough."
