Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin… not even in my dreams… (because that's illegal)
Summary: AU fic. Kaoru is a 17 year old girl trying to live with AIDS. Kenshin is a new kid. He is quiet and has a terrible secret. Can these two torn souls heal one another?
Whispers of the Wind
Prologue:
The boy stared at his hands, eyes wide.
The woman screamed, moaned, and pushed.
The boy took a step closer, only to have them take a step back.
The woman bit her lip, cursed, and pushed.
The boy once again stared at his hands, they began to cry.
The woman was done, panted and smiled.
The boy asked them, they merely cried.
The woman accepted the bundle, asked them.
The boy did not cry, did not understand, and asked again.
The woman smiled at the bundle and they answered.
The boy asked and this time they answered.
"You're child has AIDS."
"You've killed them all."
A/N: So what do you think? I know this is confusing, but the bold is Kaoru's prologue. The italics is Kenshin's prologue. I'll be sure to explain them later on. Please review, and I'll try to get Chapter 1 up. Thanks so much! -
