(tomoe pov.. sorry 4 angst🙏)

As Kenshin wearily opened his eyes, he immediately fell to his knees. Dropping his sword, cradling his beloved Tomoe.

Blinded at the time, he had no idea she would jump in front of him, fatally wounding herself. She was prepared for this, after all. But was he?

“Tomoe..” He choked back a sob, whispering her name in her ear softly. Taking her dagger, she put it to his cheek, leaving a wound. “I’m sorry.. my love..” You whispered, dozing off slightly.
