The honey eyed Kaoru asked, "Who's Kaoru? I'm Mutsuko."
Chapter 4:
The awkward silence fully fills the five longest minutes in my life.
"Miss Kaoru!" I said shaking her at the same time, trying to snap her out of it.
My love, my Kaoru-dono, didn't change, she just looked back at me with confusion and annoyance growing every minute. No, no, this can't be. Did sessha do this to Kaoru-dono? My confusion was too overwhelming; Battousai inside of me was pounding at the door back of my mind telling me to release him. I won't let it out; he wants to face this Mutsuko, who knows what kind of damage Battousai would do.
"Ah, I see. You have a side too, don't you? I'm curious, entertain me." Mutsuko senses my dilemma.
"Oro?" I put on my confusion face. I just do not understand how sessha made Kaoru turn out like this. No matter how I look at Mutsuko, who now sits in the corner bound by ropes, all I see is my Kaoru-dono.
"If you are Mutsuko, where is Kaoru?" I need to know, I have to get her back somehow.
"She'll never be back," those words reaches my ear with Kaoru's voice shattered my heart, "she'll never come out again, she's here right now, inside of me, losing her memory piece by piece, each minute, she forgets something. She wanted to escape her pain, wanted to not exist, so her wish is coming true. This Kaoru, right now is slowly dissolving into nothing."
I run over to where Kaoru's shell was and shook her, trying to make Mutsuko either take back her words for disappear. My Kaoru has to come back, she WILL come back.
"She's not coming back." Kaoru's voice changes to a sternly serious and annoyed voice.
Even Kaoru's shell is starting to change; she's really going to be gone. Never come back, never ever come back, those words, repeating in my ears. In that case, I don't want to be here either. I shall stay with Kaoru in darkness as I backed down and felt my eyes turning into a furious amber fire. I will be with you, in suffering or death. All the sounds are echoing together, and faces with twisted concern are blending together and I completely let go of my body, and see darkness as I turn around and slowly walk towards it. Maybe that will be where I can find Kaoru, my beautiful Kaoru, there I shall go.
A/N Kenshin thinks with "I" and sorry I just realized that Kaoru had blue eyes. Well in this she'll have chocolate eyes. " I'm sorry. Sorry it is so short, I promise I will update soon though.
Gabyhyatt: thanks for thinking this is a good fic.
