Yawn. *Nods off and begins to drool. Keyboard fizzes.* Sh*t!
I'm changing the plot a little bit. I'm making the Battousai a different person from Kenshin. The Battousai knows important things that have happened in Kenshin's life but he also doesn't know everything. Since I've been so evil, I'm posting this early. Hope you enjoy! BTW: does anyone ever read these things?
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Chapter 16
The smirk on his face slipped off.
A tidal wave of fear swept over him.
Knowing that there was no time to spare he leapt off the edge of the cliff.
Kat was dimly aware of an arm wrapping around her waist.
Using pure speed, he flipped and his foot caught a rock.
He hissed in pain and saw that they had almost reached the ground.
His gi and hakama flapped and billowed in the wind as it rushed past them.
Kat's vision gave way to darkness as she passed out.
'Great, she's unconscious.' The ground rushed up to meet them and the Hitokiri braced himself for the impact.
His bad foot hit the ground first and he almost fell over from the pain.
Using his good foot, he launched them back into the air.
He used missing pieces of the cliff as foot holds and brought them back over the side.
His mind reeled. 'She's been raped? Why wasn't I there to save her? I promised that I'd always save her, always protect her but look what happened.'
He laid her unconscious body against the soft snow and took off his gi to cover her.
'The house Tomoe and I stayed in should be close by.' He spotted a marker that lead to it.
It began to snow again and he noticed that there would be a blizzard coming.
He picked up Kat and took off in the direction of the house.
^_^
The sweet smell of a living room fire filled her senses and dragged her out of unconsciousness.
Kat's eyes fluttered open and she shook her head to clear her thoughts.
She remembered what had happened and instantly drew the blankets tighter to her.
Kat sniffled and tears began to streak her face.
An arm was placed around her shoulders and she yelped at being touched.
The Hitokiri quickly drew his arm away and frowned at her.
It was as if he had just slapped her.
He knew she would be self conscious after what happened and he scolded himself for not remembering.
"Are you hungry?" he asked in the sweetest voice he could muster.
She continued to stare blankly at the ground, tears still dripping off her chin.
He sighed, it wasn't like him to apologize but she needed to hear it, "I'm sorry I wasn't there. I know I promised I'd protect you and I never meant to break it."
Kat choked down a sob and whispered, "It was your fault."
He was taken aback, surprised that she had spoken so harshly.
His amber eyes blazed angrily at her but said nothing.
Kat shivered under the blankets as if she were still out in the cold.
The Hitokiri caught the movement and reached out to comfort her.
Kat shied away from him but he caught her in his embrace.
She was shocked to see the Hitokiri hugging her but she still didn't want to be touched,
"Let go!" she whimpered and struggled.
"I'm so sorry."
Kat's tears increased as she tried to make him let go.
She elbowed him in the stomach and scooted over to the corner of the room where she continued to cry.
He felt as if he could kick himself for being so stupid.
He stood up, angry at himself, and went to walk out of the room.
His bandaged foot went unnoticed as he hobbled past Kat.
She cowered like a beaten puppy as he walked past her and even the fearless manslayer felt sorry for her.
(A/N: Ok, I've made it so that the Battousai isn't the exact same person as Kenshin. They share some of the same memories but not all of them. I'm sorry if the Battousai is a little more like Inuyasha than a cold blooded killer but I haven't seen enough of the Battousai or heard him speak enough to be able to create dialogue that sounds like him. After all, it's like Sanosuke says, "Swords speak louder than words." PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
