The final Battosai

[Yui Soto]

Yui looked up at Cloud- not with anger, but question
"why did you kill him?" she asked, her eyes solid grey- no feeling, no emotion- just question. Those words seemed harsh, but Cloud's blade was the weapon that finished Kenshin off.

[Cloud Strife]

-kenshin looked at her-
not only his past being the battosai his death must be by the sword why not of his apprentis
-cloud sighed-
-he turned around looking up at the sky-
one nite after the loss of Karou kenshin wandered i allways was behind him me and my wife Tifa, but one nite a man came and attacked kenshins mind so wapred he reverted to the battosai instantly killing the man this was kenshins first kill in years he went mad and attacked me nocking me out he killed tifa
so when i awoke seeing kenshin there hatred grew in me i left him to train alone so one day i can get my revenge and put kenshin out of this curse he was ment to die of a disease with karou that is why his mind was allways off he survived and she didnt he needed to be put at rest
-a tear rooled down his chee then anoter a anouther-
kenshin was a friend and a master to me he hated what he had done long ago he told me if he was to die he would rather it be done by a friend but also to be done on a full moon
-cloud looked to the full moon the stars-
the stars are so bright tonite like that night tifa...
-cloud turned and faced Yui-
you remind me of her
there is a strngth in you just needing to be relesed
-he smiled a lil then looked to kenshins body-
we need to burrie him
-cloud walked over to him and kneeled down beside kenshin he pulled out a ring from his pocket-
like i promised i kept it for you and your new love both of them i protected them with my life
-he put a ring on his finger and chucked one to Yui-
they belonged to him it was his a tomoes and karous wedding ring he promised me that when i see him again one is to his new love the other he wants placed on his finger
he knew he would be dead when this happened

he was allways like that
kenshin
-cloud closed kenshins eyes-
death is only the begining i am glad you have been forgiven
you are and allways will be my master my friend and to me my brother
i will protect yui and all that you cared for my life will be the deposit i shall defend them against anything
-he stood up-
