"Taking over the dying flames, you were with me, then and always.."

Chapter 1. The Beginning and The End

"I'll always love you, Tsukune." Moka's weak face dirty and bloody as she looked at her beloved companion.

He had gotten to her too late, the ultimate irony. All he had ever wanted was to protect her and now that he finally had the means to do so, he failed her. Her fight with Alucard had dealt her a fatal blow.

He stares at his love with wide eyes, tears rolling down his face.

"I will.. Always be with you, yet I'm sorry.. I never showed you how much your friendship and love means to me, Tsukune" As she said this her eyes started to become heavy, The feeling of a deep sleep starting to take over.

He was in deep denial about what his eyes were seeing. Inner Moka had always been so strong and confident. To see her in such a broken state was wrong.

Like a songbird with its wings cut, never again to feel the wind beneath its wings or taste the freedom of flight.

"Don't!- Don't give up, Moka-San. You can't give up on me! W-We're supposed to finish this together!" Tsukune was trying to stop the bleeding from her wounds, her blood warm and wet on his hands.

The smell might've been overpowering, had they been in any other situation but he barely noticed it, fear for Moka taking the forefront of his mind.

Moka smiled, it was such a bitter sweet thing and it broke his heart to see it on her usually lovely face, full of life. "We.. Will, You can.. finish this, my love." With those final words Moka closed her eyes to the world

And in his own way, So did Tsukune...
