Pain of the Past
Chapter 10
By Hikari Tsuki Chi
I really don't have to say that I don't own this, do I?
Note: I am very, very, sorry. On top of slight writer's block, I just have not had the desire to write fanfiction at all. No thanks to my English teacher, who hasn't actually supported creative writing too much. I'm very sorry. Since I have to be in the right mood to write, and I just haven't been in said mood, therefore I haven't updated in like forever. And a day.
Chapter 10- Confessions
I wish I knew what to say.
All you seem to see is him. I'm just the tori-atama that hangs by the side, always needing fixin' after a wrestling watch or brawl. Before these dreams started, I thought that I'd finally have the courage to approach you about just how I feel, then run before I could face your rejection. Brave guy, right?
But with these dreams starting up, and Jou-chan's apartment building burning down, and the school suddenly getting all these problems…
I'm not sure that this is the right time.
But if I wait too long, I'll just lose you again to the flames and smokes…
Man, I thought I had gotten those memories of my look-a-like outta my head, but I guess not.
You see, Megitsune, I haven't just having dreams about what seems to be a past life. They're memories of a guy who lived and died in Meiji Jidai who had my name and face. They keep popping up, and every single time I see something that he must've known or remembered…his memories fill my head, fill in a gap that I never realized was there.
That's probably why I like wrestling so much. And why I'm afraid of trains.
That's how I met Kenshin, you know.
At the Akabeko one day a couple of years back, as I was goin' in, I ran into him as he was coming in too. I thought he was a gaijin, 'cuz of his hair, until he apologized with in trace of an accent. Everything in my being was screaming at me that I knew this guy, who was Japanese through and through despite his gaijin coloring, and that if I didn't get to know him then, then we'd just kept running into each other until we did become friends. I told it wasn't his fault anyway; that it was mine, offered to make it up to him, and the rest is history.
Yeah, yeah I know it's not like me, but I haven't been sure just what is 'me' ever since I was a teenager.
Oww, what was that for!
Yeah, I know I'm a baka tori-atama, what else is new?
What, you actually wanna hear how I feel about you!
You didn't hafta hit me again you know.
Alright, alright I get the picture. If I don't fess I don't get fixed up for free anymore.
How badly are you goin' hurt me if I tell that how I feel about you is that I love you?
Huh? What are you doi…..
Fine, I'm shutting up now. Megitsune.
Say something, tori-atama.
All I don't see is him, baka! You're a coward, you know.
What about them?
What do you mean by that?
"My look-a-like's memories"! Spill. Now.
…That certainly explains a few things now doesn't it?
I was talking about your stubbornness.
Why are you changing the subject?
…That last bit wasn't like you at all.
(hits him)
You tori-atama!
Tell me you feel about me!
(hits him again)
Fess up or I don't fix you up for free anymore after you come stumbling to my door after one of your brawls.
(gasps, hopeful look on face, hugs him, and kisses him)
Shut up tori-atama
Yahiko shook his head as he watched Megumi's and Sano's silhouettes embrace and kiss. Once Megumi's silhouette started pulling at Sano's silhouette's shirt, he rolled over, facing the wall.
"Did they really hafta talk outside MY room?" he muttered.
"Now only if Kaoru and Kenshin could confess how they feel to each other?" he whispered as his eyes drooped from sleep.
Yeah right, if they do confess, then it won't be to each other. They'd die before they make confessions of their feelings to each other, even if those'll be more angsty than those two lovebirds'…
