Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ Crimson Tears ❯ Prologue ( Prologue )

"I can't believe you two are turning sixteen in a week, I feel as if we raised you two ourselves," Kaoru and Soujiro Kamiya rolled their eyes at their friends who all began to reminisce of their back in the day memories as they walked home from school in the Vegas sunlight. "Remember when, we went swimming and Sou..."

"Guys, it's no big deal really, It's just like any other birthday," Soujiro interrupted his friend Jase before he could go on a rampage on embarrassing facts at his expenses of course, "Another year older, no big achievement," Being the oldest beating his twin Kaoru by three minutes was an achievement enough.

"Soujiro you are no fun, let's go dancing to celebrate," their friend Amaya grabbed on to his sleeve of his
school uniform locking on to him.

"Tonight, I don't know, we don't even turn sixteen until next week" He began to pry off Amaya arm off his own as she smacked his arm at his comment.

"Still, I believe that you need to find yourself a girlfriend, what kind of straight man lives in America in the city if sin as a matter of fact, and doesn't have a girlfriend," She shook her finger at him with her free hand.

"Amaya, you are too kind really" he said sarcastically with his patented smile on his face.

"Really, but you seriously need to be looking."

"What about Kaoru, she spent almost sixteen years without a guy," Soujiro finally manage to break free from Amaya.

"I got it lets get him a hooker" his soon to be ex-best friend, Jase yelled jumping on his back and knocking him on to the floor.

"What, I don't think you are even listening to me anymore," He shook his head as he attempted to get Jase off his back.

As Kaoru listen to the conversation laughing along with them. She began to drift and was too far behind for her friends or brother to notice that she was no longer walking with them. Kaoru felt a tug on the back of her shirt and saw a cloaked woman sitting on the ground, "Listen carefully," she whispered harshly.

Kaoru winced as the woman grab the collar of her shirt, "On the night of your sixteenth, the planets will align with the sun, and it shall begin of endless night of bloodshed, anger, devastation, and sorrow. Humanity will depend on your own will to live and you my child will decided the fate of humanity."

Kaoru felt the woman pull her closer to where she was entranced by a pair of deceptive golden cateyes.

============================

Soon she found herself lost in a dark place of her mind, where she was face to face with herself. She wore a black leather corset and a matching long skirt with the slit on both sides up to her thigh. Her hair was down giving a cape-like appearance that flowed around her shoulders falling to her small waist. The whole ensemble was a contrast to her milky complexion. Only main difference other than her clothes she wore was the copy's intensive amber eyes that pulled Kaoru to her.

Her copy smirked at Kaoru before seductively taken hold of her wrist and pressed it against her lips, kissing it. "You are really stupid, you know that," Even though it made Kaoru jump, her voice was deeply alluring. She smiled inwardly at the effect it had on Kaoru, before nibbling her wrist. "Humans, all of them are really, maybe it's because you are all human, but let me tell you this my dear sweet lamb, "If you want to survive in the near future, you are going to have to listen to me."

"Who are you," Kaoru hoarsely spoke as she fought for a voice.

The copy grabbed her chin with her free hand, "What does it look like, Kaoru."

She removed Kaoru's wrist away from her face, digging her nails in enough to rise blood up to the surface. Kaoru yelped in pain as her copy rested her head against Kaoru's forehead.

She punctuated every word, "I am you."

Kaoru flinched as the copy gave a lingering kiss across her face to her collarbone before bring her wrist to her mouth to lick the blood off her smooth alabaster skin letting some of the blood smudged against Kaoru's face on her cheek.

============================

"KAORU," she heard Soujiro yelled, snapping her away from her dark world.

"There is a fateful encounter awaiting you which will be of aid to you," the cloaked woman let go of Kaoru as they both saw Soujiro run towards them.

"I feel like I'm baby-sitting you sometimes, and they tell me I need a girlfriend."

Kaoru carried a dazed look as she tried to recollect what had just happen in what seemed like an eternity. She look back to the cloaked woman and found her gone as if she was never really there. Kaoru looked back and found the woman gone as if she been apart of her imagination.

"Come on Kaoru, what did we tell you about talking to strangers," He grab her wrist as she flinched away bring it away closer to her chest. It was not enough quick enough to hide the fact she was bleeding as he looked at his own hand and found her blood from where he attempted to grabbed her.

"Are you okay," Soujiro looked at his sister with worry.

"I just scrapped it on something, that's all," she lied as she untied the ribbon from her hair so she would be able to wrapped her wrist, "See all better, Let's just go home."


============================


The cloaked woman appeared from the shadows of the abandoned apartment building, her cateyes dimmed into a dull gray as she continue to stare at the siblings, "Do you think they are ready?"

"No"

She snapped her head toward the man in the shadows leaning against the stairs, His long fiery crimson hair was held in a low ponytail blowing swiftly with the wind. His bewitching violet eyes swirled with specks of gold still staring at the long raven hair teen from the distance.

"They are far from ready"
