Contemplations

'I'm sitting here because I'm tired, that's all. Ya, only tired, and I just can't go to sleep, that's normal.' The little girl, Honoria, her little face kept popping up in her head, kept feeling the blood run down her arm and face, gathering at her toes. The vision was over exaggerating, but still, it felt so real. Kaoru put her hands to her face, bidding the tears to stay, but they fell down any ways. No sooner did the first tear fall, many more followed, along with sobs and exasperated breathing. She was too focused on the dead girl that she couldn't even thing about the kiss from earlier.

Passed 2 am, she finally calmed down enough, only to feel anger. Not just mad, but infuriated, she was pissed! Kaoru hauled her sword up and bolted out the window, not caring she was only in her sleeping yukata, this was war.

She ran, right into the forest that surrounded the inn, there was no moon to see, the trees shadowing any light. She drew her katana, letting it hang behind her as she ran as fast as her crazed legs could take her. Barefoot, jumping up onto a large fat branch of a humongous tree, Kaoru jumped to the topmost branch, her head peeking out from the highest point, seeing all of Kyoto. The serene settings did nothing to calm her, the bright stars and half moon only agonized her further.

She did the only thing she could think of, she screamed. Clutching her head and pulling at her hair. She lowered herself slowly to the bough, gripping the hard bark till her fingers turned red. Again she screamed, crying almost, for the life that was taken so cheaply by her sword; her cry was ear piercing and throat wrenching, leaving her with a sore throat that only could gurgle uselessly.

"Why, why did I think I could take it? I didn't have to stay, I could have left." Kaoru looked to the half moon and sobbed again. Crazed, she heard her father's laughter; angrily she punched the tree, feeling her own blood run down her knuckles. "You laugh at me again father? Well let me give you something to laugh at. This will be the last time I cry for someone dead by my hands; heaven knows that the girl won't be the last. I will prevail, and I will make sure people like you do not live in this world any longer!" The man's face appeared on the tree, and Kaoru again punched the trunk repeatedly.

"I hate you!"

She'd never been one to talk to herself, and because she was now doing so, she started to laugh, hysterically. Tears ran down her cheeks as she clutched the trunk to steady herself. She stopped abruptly, sat up strait, and hardened her face. Kaoru felt better, and she jumped down from the tree tops to the ground softly and started to walk back to the inn.

'That was interesting.' She looked at her fist and studied the rivulets of blood running down her fingers. 'Blood for blood, just not as much. I will bleed a little for every death I cause.'

Eh…that's all I could write. My mind is completely fcked up right now. I just wanted to get a little of Kaoru's feelings out right now, since I can relate to some of her angst right now. I will tell you know. When I read over the last chapter, I got the feeling that I was already making them a couple. I am sorry, but that kissing scene was more than any thing just a joke. Kaoru didn't mean any thing by it and neither did Kenshin. Well, now I don't now what to do. I have major writer's block on ALL my stories! Gah! O well. Bye now hope you liked this really really really short chapter. But its all I could muster up to sound half way good.

Forgive me!!
