A Split Soul

By: NekoYokai

Disclaimer: The Rurouni Kenshin characters in this fic belong to the brilliant Watsuki Nobuhiro, not me.

Summary: There are two parts to Kenshin Himura, The Rurouni, and the Hitokiri. When those two separate, how can anyone get them back together? Especially when they like being separate!

(A/N at bottom along w/ replies 2 reveiws)

Chapter 1: Who the hell are you?!!

P.O.V: Kenshin-Rurouni

I felt pain tear through me. It was of an intensity I had never felt before, not just my body, but my mind, felt both as if they were being ripped in half. A cry threatened to erupt from me, but I held it back with all my might, for if I let it out I would lose all remaining sanity.

I closed my eyes tight expecting death, but as soon as it had come it vanished, and I was left shaking in the dark. I sat up in my futon finding it harder to get control over myself than normal. After a few seconds it occurred to me that I hadn't actually laid down to sleep in over a decade. Yet even more surprising I found I wasn't the least bit bothered! A gentle peace swept over me. It was as if I had been forgiven by all those people, like my bloody hands had been wiped clean! In that moment I knew everything would work out.

In satisfaction I closed my eyes, and soon felt myself drift into- "Gah!!"

I found myself pinned to the wall, staring into fiery amber eyes that sent shivers down my spine.

"Who the hell are you?!" He seethed. I couldn't have put it better myself.

P.O.V: Himura-Battosai

I felt pain tear through me. It was of an intensity I had never felt before, not just my body, but my mind, felt both as if they were being ripped in half. A cry threatened to erupt from me, but I held it back with all my might, for if I let it out I would lose all remaining sanity.

I closed my eyes tight expecting death, but as soon as it had come it vanished, and I was left in dark. I quickly got control of my self. My eyes shot open, and narrowed as they surveyed the room, and I melted into the shadows. Something wasn't right, but what puzzled me was it wasn't just the room that was different, it was also my self.

My senses were sharper, and my reflexes quicker then they had been for many years, but suddenly the whole world seemed much darker, and more black and white. Then I felt it. It was so familiar it unnerved me, and yet so foreign I had to wonder how it could exist.

It was a man's ki, and though I couldn't see him very well in the light I could tell it was- No! I was seeing things, or it was some spy, who could mask themselves in that way! I slammed into the man pinning him to my previously unused futon.

"Who the hell are you?!" I demanded so unnerved at his presence that I could not summon the strength to hide it.

P.O.V: Kaoru

Getting up from my bed I walked to Kenshin's room. Get a grip! I yelled at myself, It was just a dream. Nothing has happened!!

Yet I couldn't ignore the cold feeling in my stomach, and despite my doubts I found myself opening Kenshin's door. I tried to sneak in quietly, but as soon as I entered I knew he saw me.

Or should I say 'they' saw me? I couldn't believe it. The bottom just dropped out of my stomach, and I walked out quietly closing the door. I don't know why I didn't scream, it was probably shock, but all I did was lie down and stare a hole in my ceiling until finally I slipped into unconsciousness.
