Subject: [kffdisc] Cold Date: Sat, 24 Apr 1999 16:19:08 -0500 From: "JMAC" Reply-To: kffdisc@onelist.com To: From: Mayuka I wrote this story in under 30 minutes. The word cold kept repeating in my head so I wrote a fic on it. This is a really short one because it's my first time. So C&C please. This takes place as Kenshin and the others have reached Enishi's hideout to rescue Kaoru. I made Enishi have a flashback during this time on when Tomoe was killed, so there are spoliers in it. Disclaimer: Rurouni Kenshin characters do not belong to me, but to Watsuki Nobuhiro, Sony Entertainment, Shueisha, etc, ets, etc. You all know the drill. I'm just using them in my story for the time being. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cold ~Mayuka Cold. So cold. Why is it so cold? I see her body. I watch it fall to the ground. As she falls she stares at him. HIM. The Hikitori Battousai. The one who has now killed my aneki. He just stares at her. His swords in his hands. Not moving to catch her till after she hits the snow covered ground. I hate him. Hate him for taking my aneki away from me. The only family I had left. The only one who could ever make me happy. But now she's gone. Gone. Gone because of HIM. As I watch him hold her and yell out I find I have no pity for him. He has killed his own wife. How do you find pity in someone for doing that? Now he begins to weep. The Great Battousai is CRYING! I begin to hate even more for this. He has no right to cry over my aneki's death since he is her murder. Cold. So cold. Why is it so cold? The coldness in his eyes when he fought that old man. Kiyosato. That's why it's so cold. It's so cold because of how evil his eyes were. The coldness in his eyes that he carried with him where ever he went. As I watch him pick her up and carry her away I hear a voice. A soft, light voice. One that I grew my life up with. The voice that I always loved to hear. It's my aneki's voice. As I listen to her speak to me she tells me that I must avenge her death. I must train to be stronger then I am now. I must take revenge on the Hikitori Battousai. The one who killed her with a swift motion of his sword. Yes, my dearest aneki. I will avenge your death. I will get stronger and make the Battousai pay for what he has done to the two of us. I promise you. I'll make him suffer. Enishi slowly brings himself back to the present and the task at hand. "So. The Battousai has awakened again and is bringing his friends to help save his woman, the one who has replaced my aneki. It's about time too. For now the real fight can begin." Enishi says to quietly to himself as a smile starts to play on his lips. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Notes~~~~~~~~~~~~~ aneki= elder sister Told you it was really short. Remember this fic is the first one I've ever writen so please C&C. ~Mayuka~
