CHAPTER 9
Author Note – Holla everyone. =) aha. -- I have just gotten addicted to yet another anime. --"lol. Has anyone ever heard of Angel Sanctuary? Well, lets see, I would recommend it to anyone who really like angsty, and drama type of animes. It's pretty religious, and deals with God, heaven, angels and hell, and of course sinning. However, it is quite good, and I highly recommend it. =) It's quite sad as well. I cried quite a bit. =/ I'm a wuss for those types. I even cried in the Rurouni Kenshin OVA and Kimi Ga Nozomu Eien. X]
Ahhhh... summer is approaching. Oh wait, isn't it already kind of summer? Well..it feels like it anyways. Lol Hopefully I will be able to have much more spare time during the summer to continue writing up more fanfic. =D
Well, I have done quite enough rambling. xD alrighty then, on with the story!. (oo)
One more thing I need to add.
MANY people have said that Kenshin is lying, and that Kaoru should forgive hm, and that she'll know he was lying. However, the fact is, is that Kaoru is already insecure about Kenshin loving her. And then finally accepting it, she gets a slap in the face, thinking it was a lie. So please be understandable of how I made Kaoru's character like this. =)
Disclaimer – I do not own Rurouni Kenshin. (x.X)
- Please, let me be the one. –
Kaoru sat still, her head down, her eyes covered by a handkerchief. She had regained coniscnious, however still unaware her surroundings. It was chilly, the wind unforgiving, unwavering. Continuosly beating against her shivering form.
She heard loud steps coming toward her, finally stopping right in front, and heard the swishing of clothes as the person bent down. He roughly took off her blindfold, her eyes seeing white spots. As they became adjusted to the light, she saw the same figure that had almost taken advantage of her back in the garden at Kenshin's.
Akira kneeled, his smile wide, his eyes exited. "Finally, I'll be able to finish you off and get Kenshin back to how he was before you came into his life."
"I have nothing to do with Kenshin." Kaoru firmly stated. She wouldn't look into his eyes, and allow him to see the quick tears that were forming. She would not let him see her weakness. Not ever. No one again would be able to see her weak like this. No one anymore. Kenshin had seen her weak to her knees before in the garden, had seen through her mask and seen the love that she bore for him. But no one anymore would be able to gain entrance to her heart. For it was taken by the one that had opened it in the first place. Himura Kenshin had gained posession of her heart, and given her nothing in return. Tear slowly fell, and she heard Akira laugh.
"Yes. Cry all you want. Let me see you in your weaker state. You are nothing. You may have bewitched Kenshin into believing that he loved you, but not anymore. When he was with Tomoe, he still remained the Man Slayer, the Battosai. But now! He's this man that does not want to fight. I can see it in his eyes. He is beginning to lose the fighting spirit he once possessed. And you are the reason."
Shock coursed through all of Kaoru's body. He did love her. Everything he said was a lie back there. 'What a fool I was!'
"Why do you want Kenshin to be the Man Slayer? I thought you were his enemy. I thought you and Kenshin were fighting against the belief in the ideal government?"
"Yes. We are. But you see, there is no fun in winning easily. I want to fight with the Battosai. I want to see his eyes turn into cat like predators it once did."
"NO! Kenshin isn't like that. He's Himura Kenshin, not the Battosai the Man Slayer. He's different than you and those other blood thirsty killers. Kenshin's not like that!"
"You. Have you ever seen him in battle? He could kill you with one flick of his sword. He's not afraid of death, not afraid of killing, of blood. He's shed more blood than all of the assains in Japan put together."
"I don't care what you say. I'll never believe you!"
Akira continuosly had that arrogant smirk on his face. He paced around, his sword held high in the air. He swished it back and forth, then placed at Kaoru's white neck. Her skin shone brightly against the darkness of the night, her skin having an unnatural glow.
She was beyond beautiful, Akira admitted. Even after having ragged drty clothes on. Even after her hair was all mussed, messily in a ponytail with a ribbon. Even after her eyes were swollen and red from crying. Her skin still had the delectable milky glow. Her dark raven hair contrasting with her white skin. Her eyes still shone innocence in her deep blue eyes. And her lips was like a rose petal, parted, opened, waiting to be devoured.
Akira shook his head, trying to erase the images in his mind. Yes, he was planning on killing her, however he still was tempted to rip her free, and rip off her clothes, and enter her. Still was tempted in wanting to thrust into her, over and over again. Wanting to feel her writhing underneath him, in pain and pleasure.
He moved his sword to her hair, tearing the indigo ribbon that held her hair in place. The raven feathers were released, and fell down to Kaoru's face, curling at the end. He wished he had not done this, for it made her even more tempting. Even more irristable.
He felt himself become stiff and hard and started laughing. "You see. You see what you do to men? This!"
Kaoru tried turning away, but he was right infront of her, the tip of his sword at her chin. She started rying breaking down to what she never wanted him to see. Her weakness, her vulnerability.
He had to get rid pf her, had to rid himself of his lusting for her. He couldn't wait for Kenshin to see hr death. He lifted his sword, and was about to swing, but heard a voice that stopped him cold
"Akira. Drop that sword, or I swear you will regret it. And I never break promises."
He turned around, however not letting go of the sword. "Himura. You finally made it. To see the death of your whore!"
Before Akira could swing, he clashed with Kenshin's own sword. They continued fighting as Kaoru tried breaking free.
She had her small knife tucked away, and started nawing at the ropes. She broke free, and tried getting them to stop. Already Kenshin had injuries on his arms, and one severe one on his chest. He looked weak, tired, and losing. Akira on the other hand, he only had one small injury on his arm, and looked hardly tired.
"Come'n Battosai! Unleash your strength, let me fight the real you like I used to.'
"Stop! Kenshin! NO!" Kaoru cried, tears forming every seond, falling down her face, staining her clothes. "PLEASE!"
Kenshin heard her pleas, and tried going to her, but Akira blocked him off.
Distracted, he fell to the ground, unable to block Akira's deadly blow. Awaiting the cold steel to pierce through his delicate skin, he felt none. Except a great weight landing on him and the smell of blood intoxicating his smell.
Everytime
Notice me
Take my hand
Why are we
Strangers when
Our love is strong
Why carry on without me?
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I make believe
That you are here
It's the only way
I see clear
What have I done
You seem to move on easy
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
Everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you baby
I may have made it rain
Please forgive me
My weakness caused you pain
And this song is my sorry
At night I pray
That soon your face
Will fade away
Everytime I try to fly
I fall without my wings
I feel so small
I guess I need you baby
And everytime I see you in my dreams
I see your face, you're haunting me
I guess I need you
Sadly, next chapter will be it's last. =)
