Prologue: Nightmares
It was a very beautiful night. The stars filled the night sky and glittered like small diamonds. The moon, so big, shone brightly illuminating the peaceful dance of the ocean waves. The wind sang a dulcet song serenading the graceful sway of the early garden blooms. Indeed a picture of perfection.
Suddenly, the earth rumbled and the once impeccable night vanished.
I found myself standing alone in a creepy jungle. Instinct caused me to run and run but soon I stopped as my small feet trod on something warm but indubitably sticky -- blood. As if eaten by the raging waves, I realized I was drenched not by seawater but by the same sultry substance I stepped on, blood. Panicked cut through me. I closed my eyes, only to find lifeless bodies scattered around when I opened them. Out of nowhere, screams, wails, pleads echoed in the chilly air; "You killed us!" "You destroyed our lives!" "You are responsible for all our grief!" "And we shall hunt you forever!"
"Stop", I yelled but the voices kept on tormenting me. I tried to escape the horrible site but to my surprise more bodies piled up surrounding me and I was trapped. Desperately trying to cease the deafening shrills; I covered my ears with trembling hands and fell to my knees. "Stop! Please stop! Go away!!!", I continued shouting. Strong arms started to pull me down. I tried to break free but the more effort I exerted the powerful they become. I was helpless. I shouted for help but my shabby voice just drifted away. Ever so slowly, life flowed out from my tiny body. And I felt so weak, my eyelids so heavy. That's when I saw her standing from a distance watching me fervently with those woeful eyes, blood trickling on her form. "To..moe..." I managed to say before I drowned in the darkness, devoured by the pool of blood the bodies created...

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh", Himura Kenshin woke up screaming in the middle of the night. Beads of sweat dripping in his forehead. Though gasping for air, he stood dramatically, went to the bathroom, opened the faucet and let the cool water touched his sicken face. He's been having those nightmares again. Alas when he looked up, the mirror reflected his image, showing his damp scarlet hair that framed a face marred by that damn scar. Then and there memories gushed through.
The pain, the hurt he recalled.
The sound of raindrops brought him back to reality. Without thinking twice, Kenshin punched the circular mirror before him, shattering it into pieces.
It's been 11 years,
he thought and I still cannot move on, I still cannot heal the deep wound inside me, I still can't forget.And like a scared child, the red-haired man wept 'till no more tears came out.
