Always : 01-Beginnings

I love you

I hate you

I can't get around you

Blackness filled with small room, showing nothing but lonely solitude. I stood in the middle, a bright light shining down upon me like a criminal, my eyes darted about the room, then looked up at the light source, bringing my hand up quickly as a reaction to the bright light, it seemed to be the sun. I bowed my head away from the light as if soon vanished, leaving me in pitch black. I took an uneasy step forward, but stopped myself and looked torwards a figure that had appeared out of no where. A faint light came from him, letting his glowing gold eyes be seen in the darkness. I stumbled back, afraid, for the first time in many years. My mind lost clear thought as I looked closer at the figure, wondering. It's crimson hair fanned around it's frail figure. I blinked, feeling more like a child, at the presence of him. My lips formed an uncertain word.

"Kenshin?"

I breath you

I taste you

I can't live without you

The figure stopped coming torwards me and looked up, locking his golden eyes with my plain brown. A flinched slighty at his cold stare. He knew who I was, I knew who he was. The silver sword drew from the sheath beside him. The blade flickered with the eerie light that shined from him. 'crap.' my thoughts collided together, relising what was going to happen. I stumbled back quickly, running into a wall. I starred at the man, who used to be my friend, but now was going to be my killer. Before I thought anything else, I relized a sticky wetness that laid on my hands, my mind redistered a sickening smell, the smell of corpses and blood.

I just can't take any more, this lack of solitude

I guess I'm out the door

And now I'm done with you

My mouth opened to scream, but nothing came out. The man in front of me grinned and came forward, stoping meters from me. He leaned forward, kissing me harshly. At that moment, I wanted to scream, feeling the sword, his sakabatou slide through my stomach, pinning me to the wall, that was covered with the corpses, and the blood. His mouth left mine, as he fell back, joining the darkness once more. I screamed out a word, as the bloodied corpses ripped and tore at my body, the silver blade still laying in me. I screamed again, hoping that my murderer would here.

"TRAITOR!"

Sano sat up from his futon, panting slightly, as his eyes raised to look around the room. It was a simple room at the Kamiya Dojo. Slowly he crossed his legs and bowed his head, holding his head in his hands. His memory replayed the nightmare, keeping every detail perfect. He looked up at the door, that know was opened and filled with three worried faced. Sano grinned wearily at the three, his three friends.

"Sano?! What happened?" Kaoru hurried forward and sat besides him, Yahiko following her. Kenshin just stood in the door way, his eyes narrowed and filled with concern as he looked down upon me.

"It was nothing.just a nightmare," Sano waved the two away from him and grinned sheepishly. Relising he had screamed out loud, not just in his sleep. Kaoru frowned at him and stood up, turning away and walking away from him. Yahiko grinned at Kaoru then at Sano before he quickly whispered to his friend, "I bet you drempt of Kaoru naked."

Sano laughed out loud with Yahiko recieiving death glares from Kaoru. She turned and looked at them, her hands on her hips and a distorted look on her face. Kenshin smiled weakly, and took a step away from kaoru, not sure of what she was going to do.

"I heard that." she mused eerily, ready to tackle Yahiko to the ground. Yahiko smiled weakly and quickly took off out of the room, followed by a ill tempered kaoru. Kenshin alughed weakly at the two retreating, "oro." he mumbled, but looked at Sano and smiled at him. Quietly he took a couple steps forward, a kneeled down near Sano and looked at his friend.

"what did you dream of Sano?" he asked, the series-ness coming back to him. Sano's eyes adverted their gaze torwards the small red head, he frowned, not too sure what to say about the dream he had just had. He crossed his hands over his chest and bowed his head in thought.

"it was nothing.just some stupid dream." sano muttered.

Kenshin smiled at him, knowing that it was not the truth. Sano cursed under his breath, knowing the rurouni could read any one like an open book. His heart was troubled, any one's heart would be if you had a nightmare of the one you loved, pulling out a blade a mudering you to be left with the corpses of the dead. Sano couldn't lift his gaze to look at the other man's unweary eyes, thinking that if Kenshin could just read his body expression, he would be able to read his thoughts with just one glimpse of locking eyes. Instead Kenshin just nodded at the statement and placed a reassuring hand on Sano's shoulder.

"I had a nightmare too, that I did," kenshin chided smoothly, calmly.

Sano looked up at Kenshin and frowned, "and.your was about what?" he asked, wondering what he was going to say. Kenshin just sighed heavily and looked sorrow filled at the floor, his eyes locked in deep thought. Slowly his slightly raised head looked back at Sano, but keeping his eyes on one of Sano's hands.

"I drempt.that I had murdered.one I cared for." he muttered softly, his voice afraid.

A sudden chill washed through Sano as he looked at Kenshin, afraid, worried, wondering. Kenshin cept his eyes locked with the floor below him. A unsteady hand lifted and laid under Kenshin's chin lifting his gaze up to Sano's.

"I drempt.that I was murdered.by the one I loved."
