Chapter 11: Memories that cannot be killed
"Tomoe,please my love tell me everything tha happened to you. How are you still alive? I carried you to our house and then i put a fire in the hut.I thought that you were dead. I remember that i checked you to see if you were still alive but you didn`t breathe. I thought that you were dead. All these years of loneliness and pain had been in vain. We could be together and we didn`t have to . Why we had to suffer like this?..." he said and started to cry
"Please don`t cry my love. I know that you felt for me the same way that i did for you .But now let me tell you what happened. When you stabbed me with the sword i fainted and i had a great loss of bood. Yes i looked like i was dead but i was still alive. Yes you carried me in the hut and you put the fire but during that time Enishi followed you" he said and turn her had towards the window.
"What, Enishi ? Enishi followed me? But why?You mean he saw you when you were wounded?" he said and his eyes widened
"Yes,my little brother was there and saw everything. He followed you because he wanted to see where you were taking me. He thought that i had died and followed you in order to take me back. When the fire started in the hut, Enishi and some villagers came inside the house and took me before the fire burnt everything. They took me and my brother in the doctor`s house and he treated mine and Enishi`s wounds. He told Enishi that my wounds were deep and that i had small chances in order to survive but after 4 days i woke up and i started to recover" Tomoe said and tears started to run down her face.
Kenshin slowly took her small hand into his and kissed her softly on the lips.
"My love it`s ok you don`t have to pressure your self. We can finish the conversation tomorrow"he said and started to live. But Tomoe`s voice stopped him .
"No, please let me continue the story. I am fine now. Please let me finish this. The time passed and my brother and i continued to live into the doctor`s house. The other villagers sarted to wonder why we have been living all this time ito his house and he said that we were his wife`s relatives. The doctor had lost his wife 3 years ago from an accident and he was living with his son who was studying in town in order to become a doctor just like his father. Sometimes when he didn`t have lessons he visited his father and Enishi and i were helping in the house as gratitude for saving us. I was also very close with his son Hiroshi and after a while he fell in love with me. But i have been thinking only you and i tried many times to find you. I searched for you but unfortunately i didn`t manage to locate you. So i decided that it was better if i was out of your life and if you thought that i was truly dead" he said but she couldn`t predict Kenshin`s reaction.
"What are you saying Tomoe?You wanted me to continue to believe that you were dead?Do you know how much i have suffered because i thought that i had killed you? The guilt and the pain for my crime never left me and i thought many times to kill myself. But then i decided to live and to help people instead of killing them.I promised for you that i will never kill again. All these years i have been loyal to you and what we had. My feelings for you never changed. I loved you and i will always love you" he told her
"No,no my love please don`t be angry with me. You didn`t let me finish. I didnt want to contact you because i had already caused you pain and i didn`t want to hurt you more. Only God knows how i died every day of pain and loneliness. I thought that i would never see you again and that i could never touch you again. Enishi saw this and tried to conveice me to leave. He was alsovery jealous of Hiroshi`s attention to me and his behaviour towards him changed immediately. He became violent, cruel and he was dangerous not only for Hiroshi but also for me. Although Hiroshi confessed to me i told him that i was married but Enishi thought that i would marry him and that made him mad. Once he tried to kill Hiroshi with a knife but we stopped him. With Hiroshi we continued to be friends but Enishi wouldn`t leave us alone. Once he also tried to attack us during our sleep."Tomoe said and continued
"He had an obsession towards me since our mother` death. For him i wasn`t only his sister but also a mother and he saw Hiroshi as a threat like he had done to Akira and you. But this time i promised that i wouldn`t let him do anything against the people that had saved us and helped us . I promised that i would protect them no matter the cost. For once i would safe a life and not destroy. One night he attacked us and tried to kill Hiroshi and his father and then i..." Tomoe said unable to continue any further.
"And then what happened Tomoe? Tell me. What happened to Enishi"?Kenshin asked her although he knew the answer.
"I killed him Kenshin. I killed him with my own hands."...
