Hello peoples! I do not own Rurouni Kenshin or any of the characters in it. I am just a fan… Now on with the story.
THROUGH MY EYES
Chapter One- An intruder
I heard a loud crash, the sound of cans toppling over, a strange far away sound.
I opened my eyes. Cans…Is it Sano, or a dream…?
"Hey, Sano! What the heck are you doing?!" I exclaimed.
The noise stopped. Oh crap, it's wasn't Sano.
I listened for a second, hoping I didn't hear footsteps coming up the stairs, to head to my room. But I didn't hear anything for a while, then the noises began again. After a while, I scrambled out of my blankets, grabbing my shinai- a thing I had made for Halloween to go with my samurai outfit two years ago- and pushed the dresser I had backed against my door. When the Blackout had happened a year ago, I had put my dresser against my door every night. There had been killings and looting all over New Tokyo and I had been somewhat paranoid. But now I did it just out of habit.
I opened the door of my room cautiously, and looked outside into the hall. Had the urge to call Sano's name again, just to be sure he wasn't playing a prank on me, but that would've been stupid. At least I had learned from thriller/horror movies.
You picked the wrong house, buster, I thought, creeping downstairs, my bare feet making no noise on the thick green carpet. I headed to the noises; they were coming from the kitchen.
My heart hammered against my ribs, my palms were sweaty and my mouth was dry. I had the feeling of being watched. I wasn't about to run.
I stood outside the kitchen's swinging door, my back against the wall. As soon as that looter would come outside, I'd bash their brains in.
The door swung open at the same time that I whirled my shinai through the air.
WHAM!
For a second, I though I had killed the guy, until I noticed his hair was the color of blood. He gave a slight cry of surprise. Cans toppled everywhere, and he fell on the floor.
"Oro!" he moaned " my head…"
"Who are you?! What are you doing in my house?!" I screamed. I noticed he had a sword hanging by his side…
He can cut through my shinai! , I thought. I have to be very careful…
"I didn't know anyone lived here," he said apologetically.
"Well now you do. Get out!," I yelled.
"Don't you want your cans back? I assumed everyone here was…"
The unsaid word hung over us.
"I don't want them back. Go! Now!"
"You are very kind…"
"I said leave, so leave!" I said, my shinai hadn't gone down. I chased him out the front door.
" I can't thank you enough…" he squeaked as I pushed him out and I closed the front door behind him. Atleast I he hadn't tried to fight me with his sword…
How do you like it peoples? I'll post more chapters up after Christmas Break. Sorry if it takes too long. I hope you peoples enjoyed it! (aliens beam her up).
