Anxious Desire

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, Nobuhiro Watsuki and others own it, thus I do not make any profit out of this.

I waited for the inevitable, waiting for the fear to stop, or maybe just to hear him promise. A promise that he'll be back, a promise that everything will be the same, so my heart full of anxious desire will cease to beat.

I stood by the river, it seemed so peaceful. It would have been a perfect place, for you and I, like a lover's meeting. But that moment would be something completely opposite, a disaster to my already crumbling heart.

Though you would never feel my heart's wish, for you to love me, I would only hope that you would come back, could come back, home to us.

You have made a family, though not related by blood, it is a family nonetheless, and one that wishes for your safe return. . .

"They're beautiful fireflies, aren't they?"

Startled, I turned around, and there you were.

"Kenshin!"

And before I knew it, you hugged me, like I was your lifeline, as you are to me.

"I am a wanderer Miss Kaoru and it's time to wander again. Farewell."

At that moment, the world stopped, my heart froze, and I just shattered. I fell upon my knees and cried, it felt as though I were to be lonely once more. And then my world turned black.

The End

Author's Notes: This has been done before, I know I know. I was watching a music video, and I had a sudden motivation, and well it turned out like this.
