.:Forever:.
Bound at every limb by my shackles of fear
Sealed with lies threw many tears
Lost from within, pursuing the end
I fight for the chance to be lied to again
He awoke and sat up instantly than turned over and vomited blood. Coughing he wiped his mouth and looked around. Only a small portion of the room was light. There in the corner he saw her. Kaoru sat with her head in her knees shaking. Kenshin stood up and stumbled over to her, kneeling beside her he placed his hand on her shoulder she jump and jerked away. Kenshin looked at her in confusion looking her in the eyes then his face fell. Her eyes were clouded by fear, sadness and death. He looked at the ground. What happened to her?
You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above
The room light up and kenshin jumped to his feet grabbing for his katana only to find it not there. The room now looked to be room of torture. Kenshin looked back at koaru and just then noticed the torn flesh oozing fresh blood. His eyes grew gold, cold, and he narrowed his eyes and growled at an approaching figure. "Well, battousai, I see you found yourself a woman" the figure drew ever closer "my days of the battousai are over, that they are, but I will not hesitate to harm you in any way possible, that I won't" kenshin growled. The man's twisted laughter fills the air "you are in no position to make threats battousai!" kenshin eyes grew darker and his hands tightened into fists. He threw a glance at kaoru. his eyes grew soft upon seeing her beautiful face "How little time we've had together Miss Kaoru I am sorry for getting you into this mess that I am" kenshin's eyes snapped back to the enemy instantly the deepest shade of gold.
They'll never see
I'll never be
I've struggled on and on
To feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me
Kaoru's eyes widened as she stared at the once kind red head in front of her. His eyes an amazing yellow, his anger thick as ice. She pushed her back against the wall and cried out in pain. Kenshin's eyes grew even darker and he stood still. The man before him seemed to tremble from kenshin's glare alone. "k-kenshin…wait" kaoru said in barely a whisper. Kenshin's face didn't budge. The man suddenly shot towards kaoru, within seconds kenshin had him pinned to the wall hands grasping the strangers neck "What's your name?" kenshin growled "You should be more worried about someone else "WHAT"S YOUR NAME?" kenshin screamed "Chou" with that Chou swiftly stabbed kenshin in the stomach than stabbed himself threw the neck. "This knife was dipped in poison" Chou says "you…have two….." with that he fell limply to the floor. Kenshin fell to his knees.
Koaru slowly stood and walked over to kenshin. "Kenshin?" he didn't move "kenshin?"
She said a bit louder this time grabbing his shoulder. She was pressed against the ground staring into golden eyes, eyes filled with hate. Her pain was over welling and his eyes turn to normal "this one is sorry….."Kenshin stood up and backed away. "I'm so sorry"
He fell to the ground.
But through my tears breaks a blinding light
Birthing a dawn to this endless night
Arms outstretched, awaiting me
An open embrace upon a bleeding tree
Rest in me and I'll comfort you
I have lived and I died for you
Abide in me and I vow to you
I will never forsake you
This was fun to write…..please don't kill me! Kenshin's not dead…yet. I still have at least6 chapters left at the very least! I promise! Soooo….till next time!
I do not own the wonderful Nobuhiro Watsuki's work no matter how many times I dream it...
