In The End
*Kaoru's Point of View*
It's hard to believe that in the end, this is what it comes to. We go about our entire life not worrying about such a trivial thing as death. When it finally comes to greet us at our door, the only thing we have left to do is embrace it or fight against it.
My time is coming. I can almost see the end of my life's road. I don't know whether I am ready to go forth into the after life or to stay around a little longer. I have things tying me down to both worlds. I have my friends in this world and my husband in the next.
It's funny. I waited so long for Kenshin to come home. I wished that I would finally let is past go. It wasn't until death was nearly upon is door step that he found his way back to my waiting arms. It wasn't until death had almost completely its long search for him that he could come home to say a simple good bye. Lastly, it wasn't until death had taken him away that he had finally found the peace I had tried so desperately to give him. It wasn't until he was in my arms that he had finally found his way home.
Now I lay here patiently waiting for death to claim me as well. All my life I've been afraid of when the time would come for it to say it's dark face to me. Now, I find I do not even care anymore. I am almost to weak now to even speak. I am only able to sit here and think about life, death, and my regrets.
Yahiko, I regret never telling you how proud I was of you. You were always the little brother I was never able to have.
Sano, what I'd give to have you mooch off my again just for one last chance to see you.
Megumi, I wish I could have told you how much you helped me through life. I used to despise you and now I regret never telling that just as Yahiko was like a little brother to me, you were like my older sister.
Lastly, Kenji, I wish that I could have been a better mother. I spent so much time waiting for Kenshin to return that I feel like I never gave you all the love and attention that you deserve. I can't believe that time has flown so fast. You grew up when I wasn't looking. I wish time would allow me to stay here long enough to see you married and having kids of your own but I guess I am denied even that simple wish. I wish I could tell you to all my feelings. Be strong and hopefully one day you will learn to forgive your father who left us while trying to make peace with himself.
I guess when life finally comes to an end do we realize what truly matters most and we stop worrying about the small details for they become irrelevant. I wish I could tell someone these realizations I am finally discovering so that they will learn to appreciate life before it is too late.
Kenshin, I've missed you for so long. Now that my life is nearing an end, I finally get to be with you once more.
Author's Notes: Sorry about this being so depressing. I just read the fic "Tuesday's with Kaoru" and couldn't help it. I got this idea and I had to write it. I know it's extremely short but I couldn't think of anymore to write. I hope you like it. Please review!!!!!
