CHAPTER 3 – IN THE WOODS

Strike

The woods give me a strange sense of comfort. After all the nightmares and dreams, after all the blood, I can be given comfort by the woods. Even now, before the crack of dawn, in the darkness, I feel safe here.

Strike, Lunge,

And the woods give me a place to take out my anger. An anger and rage that has arisen since a man came to the inn. It's incredible that one man can make me feel the need to kill and destroy.

Strike, Lunge, Leap

I hated him with all my passion. And in the woods, I can exercise my rage. I can take it out. With my sword, I can get ready for my revenge on him. The manslayer that killed my father, Hitokiri Battousai.

Strike, Lunge, Leap, KILL

That was Battousai's first kill l believe. No one had ever seen such marks on a body and the speed in which he moved. He left a reminder for me, heavenly justice, words I will forever be haunted by. What was his motive? He had no reason to kill my father. Of course, he wants his side to win this war. I laugh at the idea of this war. These men, do they know what they are even doing? They're killing each other of, but at the end what's really the outcome? All that's left is death and blood, reeking through the streets, staining the minds and hands of innocents. No one will win this war, all that will remain are the dead bodies and the living left to weep for the dead.

Strike, Lunge, Leap, KILL, DESTROY

I was there when it happened. I didn't even see any part of his body, except the hand that drove a katana through my father's stomach. He was gone before I even saw him. Shura says that she can't believe that 'such a nice boy is a killer. So polite, Aya, you should see the way he helps me.' I wanted to cry out, 'that killer, I would feel better putting a sword through his heart.' No one can begin to imagine the joy I would feel once he was dead. Not only for me will l kill this man, I will kill for Sakura and Akane, my friends, who are left without their husbands and brothers. I will kill for each and every boy and girl he has left without a brother and father. I will stain my hands with his blood. Because of him, I broke the Kamiya Kasshin most sacred law. I broke it at the age of 14. With all my rage and anger, I will kill him. He has taken away my innocence; I will take away his life.

Strike, Lunge, Leap, KILL, DESTROY, KILL

It's almost funny how I can feel so much hatred towards the man I love. As soon as I saw him in the dimly lit central room in the inn I knew. Even if his eyes were not the violet I remembered, I could tell it was him. When he woke me up after the dream, I wanted to cry for the first time in four years. I almost forgot about my revenge. All I could think about was that Battousai, is also called Himura Kenshin. I loved him and he killed my father. I've loved two men in my life, one is dead thanks to the other, and if I succeed, the killer would be dead too. He has no idea the justice I will deliver to him. I have pushed my body to the boundary; I have mastered the final attack of my style. The style my father created to protect, not kill, will destroy Battousai and send him to hell.

Strike, Lunge, Leap, KILL, DESTROY, KILL, DESTROY

Kenshin, I will deliver heavenly justice. I swear I will.

My name is Kamiya Kaoru, and I will kill Himura Battousai.


I hope you all understood this chapter. It's more like a look inside Kaoru's mind. Review!
