Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ A Rurouni's touch ❯ a rurouni's awakening ( Chapter 1 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

(KENSHIN)
Even when I stand
I feel myself falling
Into all my sin
Into sorrow again
My dreams haunt me
With all those I’ve killed
Then I see you, in the midst
I reach for you
Only to find that your crying
I try to get to you
I can’t and soon
The smell of blood floods my senses
As I realize I’m holding you in my arms
My grief and the sorrow that you’ve suffered for me
As I realize I stand at death embracing you
My dreams end with the corruption of darkness
Sweating with fear, I sit up
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------
(KAORU)
The ragged sound of breathing
Leads me to you
I slide open the door to check
You always seem to worry me in one way or another
I call out to you
You look at me, sweat and fear
Plastered on your face, yet you smile
I close the door behind me quietly
And move towards you
All you can do is look at me while I take a spot next to you
Sometimes I don’t know….
------------------------------------------------------------------------ -----------------------------
(KENSHIN)
You walked in my room
Now a nightly task
A look of sadness and worry on your face
Why is it that I always seem to make you worry
I try not to but I always seem to fail though,
Now though, you have relieved me with your presence
I always long to see your smiling face again
If only you knew……….
I take a deep breath and you embrace me
Just as someone did long ago
Your warmth greets me
Calming my mind and soul
I close my eyes and feel secure
I try to become one with you
But… something is wrong
I feel a single drop of warmth slide down my face
A tear?!
I open my eyes to see your face
Which is now covered by your raven hair
I call out your name
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------

------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------
(KAORU)
I can’t bear all the grief
That you have suffered
When will this end?
If only you would open up to me
Why do you hide from me?
I don’t know what I can do
But I will always be there for you
Now that you’ve noticed me crying
I shouldn’t….not now
I cant hold the shame
If only…..if only you knew
------------------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------
(KENSHIN)
I sit up and look at you
Only seeing your raven hair
I call out your name again
You don’t respond thinking humiliation
I reach up and brush away your tears
And take your hand in mine
You look up but still close yourself off from me
The moonlight shines against your skin
Your beautiful in every way
I use my other hand to grasp your face
A bold expression to see your smile again
And all the feelings I cant convey
For you koishi, I kiss them away
------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
(AFTERWORD)
Tears long forgotten with your heart and the only pain you will feel is the pain of my love for the ages to come. As we embrace for love for eternity.
When ember meets raven to match our love.
