Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or Ayashi no
Ceres, I'm just a poor student trying to figure how to pay next month
rent, and Amaya and Jase are just a figment of my imagination.
I could sell them, but that would be illegal I think.
===============================================
Author's Notes: This story has a little crossover with
Ayashi no Ceres as in bits of storyline.(ex: family trying to kill
girl). For the most part so it's not a big thing but it needs to
stated nonetheless.
I've been reading a lot of Battousai fics and I find it amusing the
amount of aggression and how to say 'submissive' in these
stories. I don't mind them really I enjoy them ^__^, But Kaoru has a
spark about her that makes her one of my favorite character, she
one I can see in dominatrix mode with a whip. LOL. So I decided
to play on there mood and you will find Kenshin isn't the only one
with a 'dark side.'
And all I have to say is this fic will be dark, but not Fallen kind
of dark. Just dark.
I'm pretty sure there will be lemons that part is kind of
enviable at this part as I think about it.
This fic is Alternate Universe and will be umm a bit OOC.
There are some OC but they have such minor parts, you wont need to
worry. The parings I have so far is B/K, but I'm gonna torture them a
bit b/c I'm a sadist.
===============================================
Right now I feel invisible to you, like I'm not real
Didn't you feel me lock my arms around you
Why'd you turn away?
Here's what I have to say
I was left to cry there, waiting outside there
Burning with a lost stare
That's when I decided

Prologue -- Losing Grip
"I can't believe you two are turning sixteen in a week, I feel
as if we raised you two ourselves," Kaoru and Soujiro Kamiya
rolled their eyes at their friends who all began to reminisce of
their back in the day memories as they walked home from school in the
Vegas sunlight. "Remember when, we went swimming and Sou..."
"Guys, it's no big deal really, It's just like any other
birthday," Soujiro interrupted his friend Jase before he
could go on a rampage on embarrassing facts at his expenses of
course, "Another year older, no big achievement,"
Being the oldest beating his twin Kaoru by three minutes was an
achievement enough.
"Soujiro you are no fun, let's go dancing to celebrate,
their friend Amaya grabbed on to his sleeve of his
school uniform locking on to him.
Tonight, I don't know, we don't even turn sixteen until next
week He began to pry off Amaya arm off his own as she smacked
his arm at his comment.
Still, I believe that you need to find yourself a girlfriend,
what kind of straight man lives in America in the city if sin as
a matter of fact, and doesn't have a girlfriend, She shook her
finger at him with her free hand.
Amaya, you are too kind really he said sarcastically with
his patented smile on his face.
"Really, but you seriously need to be looking."
"What about Kaoru, she spent almost sixteen years without a
guy," Soujiro finally manage to break free from Amaya.
I got it lets get him a hooker his soon to be ex-best
friend, Jase yelled jumping on his back and knocking him on to the floor.
What, I don't think you are even listening to me anymore,
He shook his head as he attempted to get Jase off his back.
As Kaoru listen to the conversation laughing along with them. She
began to drift and was too far behind for her friends or brother
to notice that she was no longer walking with them. Kaoru felt a tug
on the back of her shirt and saw a cloaked woman sitting on the
ground, "Listen carefully," she whispered harshly.
Kaoru winced as the woman grab the collar of her shirt, "On the
night of your sixteenth, the planets will align with the sun, and it
shall begin of endless night of bloodshed, anger, devastation, and
sorrow. Humanity will depend on your own will to live and you my
child will decided the fate of humanity."
Kaoru felt the woman pull her closer to where she was entranced by a
pair of deceptive golden cateyes.
============================
Soon she found herself lost in a dark place of her mind, where she
was face to face with herself. She wore a black leather corset
and a matching long skirt with the slit on both sides up to her
thigh. Her hair was down giving a cape-like appearance that
flowed around her shoulders falling to her small waist. The whole
ensemble was a contrast to her milky complexion. Only main difference
other than her clothes she wore was the copy's intensive amber eyes
that pulled Kaoru to her.
Her copy smirked at Kaoru before seductively taken hold of her wrist
and pressed it against her lips, kissing it. "You are
really stupid, you know that," Even though it made Kaoru jump,
her voice was deeply alluring. She smiled inwardly at the effect it
had on Kaoru, before nibbling her wrist. "Humans, all of them
are really, maybe it's because you are all human, but let me tell you
this my dear sweet lamb, "If you want to survive in the
near future, you are going to have to listen to me."
"Who are you," Kaoru hoarsely spoke as she fought for a voice.
The copy grabbed her chin with her free hand, "What does it look
like, Kaoru."
She removed Kaoru's wrist away from her face, digging her nails in
enough to rise blood up to the surface. Kaoru yelped in pain as her
copy rested her head against Kaoru's forehead.
She punctuated every word, "I am you."
Kaoru flinched as the copy gave a lingering kiss across her face to
her collarbone before bring her wrist to her mouth to lick the blood
off her smooth alabaster skin letting some of the blood smudged
against Kaoru's face on her cheek.
============================
"KAORU," she heard Soujiro yelled, snapping her away from
her dark world.
"There is a fateful encounter awaiting you which will be of aid
to you," the cloaked woman let go of Kaoru as they both saw
Soujiro run towards them.
"I feel like I'm baby-sitting you sometimes, and they tell me I
need a girlfriend."
Kaoru carried a dazed look as she tried to recollect what had just
happen in what seemed like an eternity. She look back to the
cloaked woman and found her gone as if she was never really there.
Kaoru looked back and found the woman gone as if she been apart
of her imagination.
Come on Kaoru, what did we tell you about talking to
strangers," He grab her wrist as she flinched away bring it
away closer to her chest. It was not enough quick enough to hide the
fact she was bleeding as he looked at his own hand and found her
blood from where he attempted to grabbed her.
"Are you okay," Soujiro looked at his sister with worry.
"I just scrapped it on something, that's all," she lied as
she untied the ribbon from her hair so she would be able to
wrapped her wrist, "See all better, Let's just go home."
============================
The cloaked woman appeared from the shadows of the abandoned
apartment building, her cateyes dimmed into a dull gray as she
continue to stare at the siblings, "Do you think they are ready?"
"No"
She snapped her head toward the man in the shadows leaning against
the stairs, His long fiery crimson hair was held in a low
ponytail blowing swiftly with the wind. His bewitching violet eyes
swirled with specks of gold still staring at the long raven hair
teen from the distance.
"They are far from ready"
