Nightmares
Disclaimer! Rurouni Kenshin doesn't belong to me, but to Nobuhiro Watsuki. Darn, maybe some day ^_^x
This is set between the Kyoto and Jinchuu arc. shortly before the appearance of Enishi
------
Haste
I run through the forest. Leaves and branches whip at my face, leaving scratches.
Fear
I faintly hear the sounds of swords clashing. I run faster. I must get to nee-san! I skid to a halt, partially hidden by a mass of leaves and branches.
Hate
Red hair, scar on left cheek. It is him. The Hitokiri Battousai. The one nee-san vowed to destroy.
Horror
I see Battousai slash through her, as if she was merely a rag doll of no importance.
Anguish
She falls back into his arms and crosses his first scar. And then, she smiles.
Confusion
Why she smiles, I do not know. Perhaps it is becasue she will be reunited with her love. Or maybe becuase she is finally leaving her life with the Battousai.
Misery
But . . . did she have to leave me too?

"NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Enishi sat up in his bed abruptly. His body was drenched in sweat.
He could not get away from this nightmare, no matter what. it had plagues him every night for over a decade. It didn't matter that he had seen it over five thousand times, everytime, it was as traumatic as the first.
"Battousai" the silver-haired man growled quietly. "You took her happiness, killed it in an instant. She left, told me to forget about her! and then, you took her too! Killed her like she didn't matter at all."
'And with her life, went my happiness'
"Nee-san." He whispered. "I will avenge your death, and I will make him pay. Make him pay for everything he did to you."
He voice turned deadly "He will suffer. He will suffer as much as I did and more. He will live a life of complete chaos, the equivelant of hell."
It then turned serious. "This is my solemn vow and nee-san will smile in the heavens for me."
------
Kenshin woke with a start. Nightmares of the past tormented him once more. It was the one of Tomoe. Somethine was coming. Something from the past, he could feel it.
He rose from his futon and took a position by the wall. He leaned his sakabatou against his shoulder. Old habits really do die hard. But he would need to be prepared for whatever came next.
------
A/N: really short as you can see. This was just a little idea I had and during my free period I wrote it. It was mostly just meant to show Enishi's side of his jinchuu. He thought that he was doing the right thing. he believed that he was doing Tomoe's will and that's just what I wanted to show. sorry if I got any of the facts wrong.
