Disclaimer:  If only I owned Rurouni Kenshin *wistful sigh*  If I did then I would let my secret obsession for him out of the closet.  Hehehe, ahh the possibilities.

A/N:  The poem/story that took me weeks in planning and only one day to actually do it once I stopped procrastinating.  Enjoy and review!

Through the Eyes of Enishi By: Ange Noir

Chapter One- The Beginning

~*~*~*~*

I was happy once

A long time ago

It was a time when I didn't get depressed when it snowed

We had a nice family- Tomoe and I

But shortly after I was born my mother got sick and died

Our father soon after was overcome with grief

He just wasn't able to turn over a new leaf

I use to miss the liveliness that his eyes now lacked

One day he went out for a walk but failed to come back

So now it was just my nee-san and I

Miraculously we managed to get by

I adored my sister

She meant the world to me

It always seemed like she saved her smiles just for me

I felt that I could live out my life this way

Spent in the company of Tomoe everyday

But then the war came

And Japan was now no longer the same

Unsurprisingly politics is all that is to blame

But I had my Tomoe and so much more

So I paid the war no mind

A cruel, awful war that will soon change my life in ways I've never imagined before

A/N:  I finally decided to get off my butt and actually type this down.  Its been running in my head for weeks and I decided to act upon my poorly developed intuition and get it to viewers eyes.  I'm starting a companion piece that can go along with this.  It's in poetry format and is the life of Tomoe.  I'm feeling poetic so I decided to do some poetry stories for you all.  Oh if any of you know any good sites that have factual facts about Tomoe, Enishi, and Akira, place it in your review.  Till later ^_^
