OK people a new story!

Lost Emotions, Chapter One: The Intro. into Forgotten Hearts

Hate, hope, happiness, love, passion, justice, misery, anger, pain, courage, fear of death, sadness, sorrow, life itself...... all emotions that I cannot feel or have forgotten how to feel. The only emotion I can feel is rage, red hot, blind, rage. Why and how can someone be so numb and still be human? To tell you the truth, I'm not sure I am still human. I am Black Misery; sister of Moonlight's Sorrow; we are hitokiris of the night. Destined to be alone and kill for the rest of eternity.

The kill was easy; it always was. I walked into my apartment to see my twin at the table reading. She looked at me through expressionless eyes. Her eyes are always expressionless; like mine. The only time my eyes show emotion is when the anger inside me becomes so extreme that I black out on a "job" and kill everything.

"You're later than usual, Kaoru."

"Hai, I know Usagi. The job was easy but the man hired 16 gunmen to try and stop me. It didn't work. I'll be in the shower." I said walking into the bathroom. I started the bath and got in. I scrubbed my self raw in the hopes of cleaning my stained hands; a habit from the time I could feel. Soon, I finished and went back into the kitchen and sat down. Usagi pushed a cup of tea towards me not even looking up from her book. As she sat reading, I regarded her form. There are two major differences in our looks. She is tall, 5'7" pushing 5'8", while I am short, 5'2" to be exact. I also have sapphire blue eyes and she has beautiful chestnut brown eyes that used to be filled with such life. I may have said we were twins but I never said we were identical. We share many characteristics though. We both have pale skin, slender forms, and long black hair.

"Kaoru, Katsura called. We have a job on Friday. He said he was going to meet us a few blocks from the job site with some people he wants us to meet." Usagi said again not looking up at me.

"OK, you're acting very strange tonight. What's up?" Hey, I never said I wasn't curious.

"Our job is Oriso Hiromi."

Oh, so that's why she's so out of it. Hiromi was a childhood friend of ours. Usagi was closer to him than I. Then one day he asked Usagi out. She was so happy (keep in mind this was before we became what we call numb). Then he broke her heart. That was the start of her loss of emotions. Then our parents died and we slowly started to slip away from feeling things. Katsura then took us in and trained us to be hitokiris, with each kill we lost a little more of our fragile grip on reality. The only people whom we show emotions to are each other and Dr. Genzi. But that's another story.

"Did you clean your sword?" Usagi actually looked at me as she said this. Oh, did I forget to mention that we only kill with swords?

"Yeah, I already did that. I'm hungry, I'm gonna make something to eat. Want any?"

"Not if you're cooking. I'll cook if we don't want to die of food poisoning. What do you want?"

"Rice balls are good."

"Whatever...."

So we ate (Usagi's cooking is the best, unlike my own.....) and went to bed. Over the next week we went to our day job, waitressing. It's interesting to watch emotionless girls ask for your order. We scare the shit out of most of the customers. Finally, it was time to pay a little visit to Oriso Hiromi.

"Usagi, it's time to go. Or should I call you Moonlight's Sorrow?"

"Very funny. Let's go Black Misery." With that we picked up our swords, our long black coats (to go with our black pants, shirts, and hair ties) and walked out the door into the night that would change our lives forever.

We stayed in the shadows to avoid detection. I could feel Usagi tensing; someone was nearby. A woman walked by with her dog, luckily she didn't see us. We entered the large estate of Oriso Hiromi. Men with dogs guarded the grounds. When will people learn that they can't stop us, especially when we work together? Exactly one week before a job, we are notified of it. The person to be killed is also notified to make the job more interesting for us. It's interesting what some people will do to prevent their deaths. Sometimes they try to run, others hire gunmen and gang members, or they notify the police. If they try to run, we always catch them. If they hire gunmen or gang members, we easily defeat them, same with the police. Guns are no match for us, swords are the better weapon; more humane in a way, not that it matters to a Hitokiri.

We ran past the guards, cutting their throats before they could even pull out their weapons. Let it rain red down upon us tonight...

Let's Learn Japanese!!

Hitokiri: assassin; shadow assassin; manslayer

Hai: yes

A.N. Hi everyone! Moonlight's Sorrow here. Ok this is my first RK story and please be kind to it. Apart of me is in every chapter, every line. Why? Because I am like Kaoru. I don't show many emotions, only happy emotions. Please review and I promise the chapters will be longer. You can review, flame, anything, but if you flame please be nice about it. I'm open to suggestions, requests (if they tie in with my plot), and anything else. My updates will be around every two weeks if I'm lucky. Oh and I know it's cheesy to use ones own pen name in their story but mine seemed to fit and I could not think of any thing else.
