I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.
Fragmented Dreams Chapter 2
Moonlight filtered an ethereal glow through the oblong window in the room, illuminating a small patch of the floor. Misao woke up suddenly is a cold sweat. She sat upright in her bed, the sheets roughly pushed off. She looked around the room, expecting to see something, which was evidently not there, according to her disappointed expression. The traces of sleep had disappeared from her face within moments of her awakening, and she felt restless.
'It's always that same dream... Over and over, it never fails to wake me,' Misao thought. She sighed and whispered to herself, "Aoshi-sama." The inky darkness provided no solace for her nightmares that plagued her with him; she should hate him for what he did, abandoning her when he promised to never leave her alone again.
Her eyes welled up with unshed tears, clouding them. She looked at her hands, staring at her little finger. She could remember so clearly, his firm hands, calloused by training, holding her own hands.
=FLASHBACK=
"Yakusoku, Aoshi-sama?" Misao said quietly, surprisingly different from her constantly animated behavior, her hands cradled in his. She gripped his little finger with her own.
"Misao... I think we're both a little too old for this..." Aoshi said.
"Aoshi-sama! We aren't too old! Just this once and I won't ever ask you for anything! Ever!" Misao said abruptly and fast, not showing her 18-year- old maturity.
"Misao... I promise. I promise I will never leave you alone again."
=FLASHBACK=
Misao began to cry, her tiny form jerking with each sob. "You said you would never leave. You said you would never hurt me. You said you would never break my heart," she whispered to her empty room, shutting her eyes, allowing the darkness to engulf her. "It's too late."
A/N: Hi... Sorry for the huge space in between chapters. School is getting even busier... Good thing it'll all be over soon. ^_^ I hope you like this chapter, even though it's so short. Thanks for the reviews! All two of them! ^_^ Anyway, please tell me if I made any mistakes or anything else.
