True Colors
Chapter Two
Kaoru's P.O.V.
I haven't cried for so long. It feels rather strange. I'm so frustrated! I used to think that we were just really good friends. Now that I think about it more, it's different... He was there for me, and I was there for him. But then again, he was the one who killed my family. Though he spared me and helped me run away. How could I have not seen it before?! I should have told him I loved him when I had the chance. Now I'm too late. I need another chance...
"Sou-chan, I love you."
There I said it! Only problem is that he didn't hear it. Does he love me too? Does he ever think of me now? I started crying again. I remember how I cried in his arms. His soothing voice saying:
"Don't cry Kao-chan. I'm here now. Everything will be all right."
But things were never all right. We had to move and Soujiro was treated worse. I should have been with him to ease his pain like he did mine. Oh Sou-chan...what I'd give to just see you again.
Before I knew what was going on, I cried myself to sleep...
Soujiro's P.O.V.
Every day since that fight with Himura, I think about those words:
"They strong should protect the weak and innocent."
Then I think about what Shishio said:
"Only the fittest survive and the weak will die. The strong feed off of the weak."
But is being weak all that bad? Then I remember her. She was strong, yet also weak. Since I was stronger than her, I would have killed her to gain more strength, but I didn't. No. I did just the opposite. I protected her. I comforted her. And she did the same for me. But still. The government fed off of the weak. Animals fed off of the weak. We humans are animals as well...
"Sou-chan...Please don't go."
It was she who protected me. She was the one who helped me dress my wounds and healed my emotional pain. Even after I killed her family, she forgave me. It was she who I had...Loved...
"Kao-chan. Please give me another chance."
Up ahead was where Himura lived. I hope he's still there because...
I think I just found my answers...
Kaoru's P.O.V.
Ugghh. My head hurts. Oh no! It's almost dark. I hope Kenshin and the others aren't too worried. I got up and took a deep breath. It feels as if a great burden had been lifted from me. Oh Soujiro...My love. Before I die, I will see you again!
I slid open the door to the dojo.
"Hey everyone! I'm back!"
I walked into the kitchen and saw him sitting there...
A/N: Sorry to end it right there. I'm getting tired. And thanks Rurouni Kaoru Kenshin's Love! My first reviewer! ' Sorry it's not a KK fic. Oh well. I'll try to add more chapters as often as I can. And PLEASE leave a review! I got an idea for another Soujiro Kaoru fic. So keep your eyes peeled! (Not literally).
