Chapter 16- Leave me be
Kaoru was traveling through the thick crowded streets with her traveling bag in hand. She weaved through the mob of people to try and make it to the outskirts of the village. Kaoru kept on repeating in her mind the words 'I'm coming Kenshin' and smiled as she charged. She finally reached the exit. She stopped for a moment. Hesitating...
'Am I doing the right thing?...Is...is going after Kenshin...the right choice?...' Kaoru kept on questioning herself. She finally came to a conclusion. She took a deep breath, and plunged into the deep forest that lay ahead her.
Time had seemed to fly right by. Kaoru had already been walking for about an hour now. She could just imagine Kenshin walking down this path alone. Her face fell at the thought. She didn't know how Kenshin would react when he saw her. She almost...didn't want to know. She just had to brace herself. She continued to walk down the deserted dirt path. Awaited what ever was to become of her.
Battousai was sitting, propped up against the wall, with his katana placed securely on his shoulder. He had his eyes closed, and shut tight. It was as if he was in deep thought. You could tell that he wasn't sleeping because his face wasn't relaxed. He could sense something. Something coming near. He opened his eyes, slowly. As if he was afraid of what he might see. His eyes were then gazing upon a womanly figure.
"What is it Tomoe?" Battousai questioned in a cold voice. He closed his eyes again, and sneered. He had hoped that the womanly figure...belonged to someone else.
"Well that's a fine how do you do. What's wrong baby?" She questioned in a 'loving' manner. She placed her arms around his neck, and wasn't shy in the manner.
"Get off of me Tomoe!" Battousai barked as he shoved her off and turned the opposite way of her. (sorry tomoe fans...but...she is not really the one in the fic so...yeah U) Tomoe huffed as she stood and stomped over to Battousai
"What is wrong with you? You're the only one in this camp that I'm giving attention to, and you're not even enjoying my company! That's what I was sent here for!!" Tomoe snarled, whining and stomping her foot. Battousai turned and glared at her with molten gold eyes.
"I really don't like hanging around brats such as yourself. Go find another guy to keep 'company' with. I already have somebody." Battousai was about to smirk, but his face softened at his last comment. A beautiful image of Kaoru started to appear in his mind. He was about to close his eyes, and cherish it until an annoyingly high pitched whine interrupted his relaxing daydream.
"Well who ever that little snob is, I'm sure that she's probably just a low life! Not even close to even compare in my beauty." Tomoe muttered darkly. Battousai's eyes snapped open, and he thrust out his katana, and placed it threateningly close to Tomoe's neck.
"If you say one more word about Kaoru...you won't be able to say any more words." Battousai hissed, venom laced in his words. Tomoe was a little bit surprised at first, but then her look of surprise turned into a scowl.
"As if you could bring yourself to kill me!" She yipped.
"Just...watch me." Battousai whispered in a deadly tone. His voice was a deadly tone, and promised pain. Tomoe gasped silently, and gulped. Battousai smirked at her growing fear. He slowly brought his katana down from her neck, and re sheathed it. Tomoe didn't hesitate to take advantage of the moment, and rushed out of the room. Battousai growled. He was sick and tired of having to deal with Tomoe's irritating whines and complaints. He lifted his head skyward, and mumbled a few words...
"Kaoru...if only you were here..." He then lowered his head back down, and sighed. He then drifted back over to his corner of the room, and sat down. He propped his katana onto his shoulder, and shut his eyes, drifting off into an uneasy sleep...
He kept on having dreams of things that may come...or...more like nightmares...
"No...please...don't..." A woman with ebony hair and crystal sapphire eyes, was crying softly in the corner of a dark room. A man with cold eyes was beating him, and the woman was watching in horror.
"Please Kaoru...you have to run! Get out of here." Battousai pleaded as the man continued to beat him. The man the turned his gaze over to the weeping Kaoru. He raised his sword and made a long pause.
"PLEASE RUN!!! KAORU RUN!!!" Battousai screamed, trying his hardest to break out of the bonds that were tied securely around him. However, Kaoru did not move. The man then raised his sword and slashed it down onto her fragile body in an instant, not even letting a squeak of a scream escape her now lifeless and paled lips.
"NOOOOOO!!!!!" Battousai screamed. Kaoru's blood then seeped slowly to him, and Battousai kept his head cast downward.
The one he loved...was dead...
"Kaoru!!" Battousai shouted as he immediately awoke from his haunting nightmare. He was breathing hard, and he was sweating. He took a deep breath, and closed his eyes. He kept repeating the words 'Kaoru's still alive' in his frightened mind. He heard a thundering rumble, and a sudden flash of light, echo through his dark room, lighting it up with a haunting glow. Battousai glanced outside the window to see the rain pouring heavily onto the roof. Battousai just sighed as he listened to the relaxing sound of the rain. The lightning still continued to crack and flash, and the thunder wouldn't stop it's almost humorous roar. Battousai couldn't sleep. Not after what he dreamt about. He closed his eyes despite that fact, and let the sound of the rain, soothe his ruffled fur.
'How much longer will it be until the war begins?
How much longer will I have to suffer like this?
How much longer will I have to wait...for you...?'
Battousai's head swarmed with un answered questions. He wanted the questions to disappear from his mind...to leave him be...but...they just wouldn't...
That's all for now! Please review!! :D
