Disclaimer: This is my first song fic, so, just bare with me! R&R please! REVIEWS! I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or the song 'Going Under' by Evanescence.

*Now I will tell you what I've done for you

He sat there. Alone. Holding and watching the snow claim the only person he ever loved. Not feeling anything. Not wanting to feel anything.

*50 thousand tears I've cried

The Battousai rolled back his dead wife's hair showing her frost bitten cheeks, as he leaned down to kiss one of them slightly, making sure not to damage the beautiful face that once was.

*Screaming deceiving and bleeding for you

He lay her down gently in the snow as the blood streamed down from his left cheek where a new scar was made.

*And you still won't hear me

He walked away silently through the trees wondering how he could have done this.

*Don't want your hand this time I'll save myself

'How could I have been so blind' he thought.

*Maybe I'll wake up for once

'How could I have let myself become what I am, and not realize the danger'

*Not tormented daily defeated by you *Just when I thought I'd reach the bottom

'Every person, everything that ever gave me hope, was wasted on my lack of judgment'

*I'm dying again

'But I must choose'

*I'm going under *Drowning in you

'Between life and death'

*I'm falling forever *I've got to break through

'But now I realize, I have no choice'

*I'm going under

He untied his sword from his waist band and held it up in front of his face.

*Blurring and stirring the truth and the lies

so I don't know what's real and what's not

He then dropped his sword onto the ground, so it would rest atop the field of bloodshed and fire.

*Always confusing the thoughts in my head

so I can't trust myself anymore

'I have no choice but to live on. Not as a killer, but as a wanderer.'

*I'm dying again

The great Battousai walked away from the battlefield and through the smoke only to disappear into the land of the forgotten.

*I'm going under

Please don't hurt me! I know it's really bad because I've never done it before. I'm usually really bad at things when I try them for the first time. I tried doing archery from 20 yards away instead of usually 10 and I lost one of my arrows and broke another one! Kind of pathetic. I know.
