Chapter fifteen¡Xreign of terror
¡§I miss Kenshin.¡¨
¡§Stop thinking about him,¡¨ he snapped.
¡§¡KI have the right to think whatever I wish to.¡¨
¡§You¡¦re in my property. You are mine. Battousai has nothing to do with you, understand?¡¨
¡§No.¡¨
Enishi slammed his fist angrily on the table. Kaoru just stood there, face expressionless. He glared toward her direction.
¡§What is so good about him? Why would you not eat anything all day but think of him?¡¨ he demanded.
¡§Because I love him!¡¨ she suddenly shouted. ¡§Why can¡¦t you understand that? Why couldn¡¦t you just let me go?¡¨
Enishi sucked in his breath and stared in disbelief at the young girl. Her angry words echoed in his ears as fear leapt onto his face.
¡§You¡¦re not leaving, are you?¡¨
Kaoru stepped back, ¡§What if I am?¡¨
¡§You cannot leave! I won¡¦t let you, like I did last time¡K¡¨ the last sentence was merely a whisper as he quieted down and crumpled on a chair.
But Kaoru could hear it as clear as crystal.
¡§So¡Kgo now. Go and never turn back, or I just can¡¦t stand to even look at your retreating figure.¡¨
¡§Enishi?¡¨
He raised his hand up to his tiring face and muttered, ¡§Why does history repeat itself¡K?¡¨
Kaoru placed a gentle hand on his shoulder. He didn¡¦t bother.
¡§I¡¦m sorry.¡¨ Was all she said.
¡§Just¡Kgo. Like you always do.¡¨ The hint of dread was evidently heard by Kaoru as she knelt down beside him. Looking up proudly she spoke, ¡§I love Kenshin. But you know¡Ksomehow I knew that I could not leave you. Perhaps it¡¦s the echoes in my mind that told me to hold onto you¡Kyour eyes,¡¨ she brushed some lose locks away from his face, ¡§They seemed to hold so much truths.¡¨
Enishi stared longingly at her. His turquoise eyes shimmered under platinum locks. Kaoru smiled, washing away all his problems.
¡§I love you,¡¨ he said.
¡§¡KI know.¡¨
==============
Okina sighed. He sat on the soft cushion, guilt written all over his face. Misao paced angrily, muttering words under her breath every once in a while.
¡§Why does this have to happen?!¡¨
¡§Anger does not help, Misao.¡¨
¡§I know, I know! But did you saw the look on Himura¡¦s face? It was as if he could kill the whole clan!¡¨ she exclaimed, throwing her hands up in the air.
¡§Calm down, Misao!¡¨ Okinda ordered. She just muttered something under her breath.
¡§Look,¡¨ Misao put her hands on her hips, ¡§He helped us won the battle! And in return we lost his¡Khis¡K¡¨
¡§Companion,¡¨ he finished.
She dropped her hands, ¡§No, not a companion. More like his most important treasure on earth!¡¨
¡§I don¡¦t understand what you are talking about.¡¨ Okina stated flatly.
Are you blind? Misao screamed in her mind. Staring down at the old man she ignored his comment.
¡§Whatever! The point is that we have to help him. He deserved this much!¡¨
¡§Time doesn¡¦t allow that Misao.¡¨ He warned.
¡§What do you suppose we do? Oh, I understand now.¡¨ She said, her tone dripped with blame. ¡§You used him.¡¨
¡§You and I both know that I am not that kind of man,¡¨ he said lowly.
¡§Please,¡¨ she begged, ¡§When I saw Aoshi-sama for the first time after a month, no once would understand how I feel,¡¨ her eyes wavered. ¡§The same goes for Himura, grandpa. And he just came back from war. He needs Kaoru, just like how I need Aoshi-sama.¡¨ She held his wrinkled hands sincerely. The old man stared hopelessly down at the young ninja.
Is it too much to ask for¡K?
¡§I just want to help him¡K¡¨
==============
I cannot stand this place, everything I see reminds me of you. It always has. Someone said it was better to have loved and lost, then never have to loved at all. He was a fool. Maybe I was quiet back then, maybe I was cruel. That was my world, me existence, a life that I decided upon. You never deserved someone like me, Kaoru. You should have a perfect life, the prince to sweep you off your feet. I¡¦m sorry for everything that had happened. I am the one to blame. All of it¡K
Are you there, Kaoru? Are we even together? I miss you. I can¡¦t live without you. Have you watched from somewhere far? Have you seen the scars in my dream? Where have you been when I needed you the most?
Tell me¡K can you hear?
You¡¦re not beside me. Not in my arms. Not under my protection. It¡¦s killing me inside. You drive me insane Kaoru. I don¡¦t want to face the reality without you. All the suffering, all the hardships¡K I can¡¦t do it without you by my side. You are the thing that prevents me from breaking through all of this.
I don¡¦t know when it happened. How could I ever love someone so deeply, that my heart stopped every time I look at you? My heart aches at the merely sight of you.
Tell me¡K can you hear?
==============
¡§Here, take it to them.¡¨ Enishi said coldly, placing the envelope on the table.
The man nodded and took the papers, bowed, and left. The platinum haired man stared out the window under the world of dark lenses.
It finally had come down to this.
The time he wasted on waiting, it finally came down to this.
In the letter which he so boldly wrote it, were the graceful curls of his handwriting. The statement was quite demanding, for he knew the Hitokiri would come.
Enishi traced his eyes over the sleeping form on the couch. Her very breath amazed him. She was beautiful¡K even though he knew the pain and suffering had dwelled in her heart.
She was the treasure, the thing, the life Battousai had. Enishi didn¡¦t want to believe in it, but Kaoru already showed him the truth. He loathed the thought so badly, that he must wait repeatedly for a hundred years to see her. To hold her again.
He could just see the scene, right in front of him. Once it had happened. Once history made a mistake- yet it was an amazing mistake. The one he could never get rid of. The smiles and the kisses were still fresh in his mind like yesterday, and oh yes, what a mesmerizing mistake it was.
Whenever he looked past his shoulders, his eyes shimmered with longing. For what things he would do for history to repeat the mistake again, for what crazy things.
Time passed, as he learned the truth within the endless cycle. She was meant to meet with Battousai; he was meant to die hard seeing the one he loved with his enemy. Somehow it all made sense. They said history repeat itself, over and over again until someone brought an end to it. For so many decades, no one was bold enough to even realize the meaning. Bu he knew. God he knew. How he wished to stop this eternal cycle.
Would there ever be an ending? Would this decade be broken?
He didn¡¦t know. All he knew was he loved her, and loved her enough to wait.
So if Battousai read the note¡K then he would understand.
All of it.
Erm¡K I had a huge problem. Well¡K the truth is I don¡¦t know how to write dramas very much¡K so¡K is there a possibility that someone can actually write the battling part between Kenshin and Enishi for me? Onegai? Someone? Or else I can¡¦t finish the later chapters, WHICH are coming up.
If anyone would be SO kind, would you please e-mail me: dark_serenity2005@hotmail.com
THANKS!!!! And REVIEW!!!!!
