Revealed Through Insanity

By JiHae

Prologue

Fiery crimson silk…

Empty eyes staring up at the starch white ceiling.

…Entwined with shiny ebony tresses.

Chest rising and falling slowly.

Limbs entangled in dark satin sheets.

Wrists restrained in leather bounds. Hands grab ashen sheets with an iron grip – knuckles white, self-control in tact.

Pleasurable groans and soft giggles.

Breaths coming out in erratic spasms.

"Oh, Tomoe."

"Oh, Kenshin."

A low rumble resounded in her throat – the beginning of an ear-piercing scream. She shrieked at the top of her lungs, body jerking in the bed she was bound down to. She shook her head back and forth in a furious tantrum. She continued to screech until her throat became parched.

"Dr. Shinomori! Dr. Shinomori!"

An electrifying pain shot through her body, administered by the sharp end of a needle.

"I hate you," she whispered corrosively to a phantom of her mind.

Icy blue eyes anxiously stared at the girl tied to the bed.

"Kaoru…"

Okay, so that's the end of the prologue. It sounds horrible, doesn't it? [sigh] I tried! After all, it is my first RK fanfic. Questions? Comments? Review please! ^^
