Disclaimer: If I owned RK, would I be typing this damn thing?!

Author's Pre-Notes: I know, I SHOULD be working on my other fanfics but I decided to get this stupid one-shot rambling thought out of my head first. Not many people write about this character, so I though I'd give it a shot. *Shrugs* This is basically for the curious and/or bored. R&R if you want. This was basically a way to empty the mind.

Just Like Her...

At first, I thought I was dreaming. She looked just like her. She was standing on a rooftop, rallying the locals. Determination and fiery passion burned in her eyes as she openly spoke to them. Those bright eyes. That style of hair. Even her sharp tongue reminded me of the way she kept everyone in line. But when I saw her Oniwabanshu outfit and the long braid her hair was tied back in, I knew it wasn't her. Still... if she were still alive, she might be this girl's age. Laughing. Smiling. Just like her.

Tsubaki...

To this day, I miss her. Even after the day I had avenged her death by punishing those responsible. I had never forgiven myself for those days, but it was the only way. Wasn't it?

For some reason, I look down at my hands. The same hands that had held hers. The same hands that crushed men's skulls. In five years, I had complete changed physically and mentally. If I were to join her right now, would she recognize me? Would she forgive me?

Another thing came into my mind. The Kyoto Grand Inferno. This young girl would be caught in the blazes of five hundred fires. Just like she was.

Suddenly, I hear someone cry out. Usui was descending upon the girl. At this, something snapped in my mind. It would not happen to her again. Never again.

A/N: Yep. That's all. I told you it was short. Besides, this all occurred in like two seconds. Also, Anji never was one for words. AND SO, I return to "Society vs. Eternal Love" and "To the RK World and Back."

Speaking of which, if there are any readers for "Society." That lemon chapter will probably be out around Tuesday or Wednesday. Sorry for the long wait. As a bonus, I might end up posting two chapters at once. Goodness, I'm a shameless self-promoter, aren't I? ^_^
