Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ I don't want to be alone ❯ Chapter I ( Chapter 1 )

Chapter I

*Ring………ring………ring…&# 8230;...* The phones on the desks rang here and there, as if they never stop. The police officers and detectives were attached to their paper works or busying answering phone calls. It was another afternoon scene in downtown Tokyo police headquarter. A teenage girl in green kimono entered the police headquarter and strolled down the lane towards the `Chief Police' room. As she made her way to the room, the police officers and detectives dropped their pens and phones, stood there agape with fluid leaking from their mouths slowly.

---------------------------------->>>**<<<---- ---------------------------------------

"You're back………" The chief police said as he heard the door is being opened. He turned around. "Konnichiwa" The girl greeted "how are you doing, Saitou-san?" Saitou took a puff and then looked at his men outside his room.

"What have you done to my men, Honjo?" Saitou asked, eyes still on his men.

"Nothing! I just came directly to you, Saitou-san." Honjo answered, with his innocent look. Saitou then gave his men a death look and they quickly resumed what they are doing.

"Any uprisings in Kyoto?" The chief police questioned.

The `girl' shook her head.

"Any underground movements?"

"No."

"All right, Honjo, you can take a break now until I give you another assignment."

"Yayyyy!" Honjo exclaimed, spin around and left.

----------------------------------->>>**<<<--- -----------------------------------------

By the time Honjo reached home it was already early evening. "Same as ever………" he said as he looked around his living quarter. His only friends were the furniture that lived with him in his quiet and peaceful accommodation. The journey from Kyoto to Tokyo had exhausted him, now, he needed to relax himself

------------------------------------>>>**<<<-- --------------------------------------

"What shall I do tomorrow?" Honjo thought, soaping himself at the same time "yeah, I think I should visit Kamiya Dojo……… I really owe them one………" After he had washed up, he closed his eyes and relaxed in the tub of warm water. Shortly, he fell asleep.

------------------------------------>>>**<<<-- -------------------------------------

Soon, Honjo found himself with one of the surviving Juppongatana member, Seta Soujiro in an open field. "Soujiro, what are you planning to do?" Honjo asked. Soujiro replied with a smile instead. The `girl' looked into his eyes, hoping to get an answer from him. Soujiro did not answer still but embraced his teammate. Honjo, taken by his reaction, remained still in Soujiro's arms. "Til we meet again, Honjo………" Soujiro whispered, let off the `girl' and retreated slowly. "Wait! Where are you going!" Honjo asked, eyes a bit watery. Soujiro smiled as faded into the mist slowly. "Soujiro!!!" Honjo shouted as he chase after him. As he was trying to stop Soujiro, Honjo tripped and fell, and the distance between the two boys grew larger and infinite, segregating them. Still on his knees, tears started to roll off Honjo's dark purple eyes as he finally witnessed Soujiro disappeared into the mist helplessly.

"Soujiroooo!!!"

The cried echoed in Honjo's mind, waking him up. Breathing heavily, he quickly refreshed himself by washing his face. It was a dream, a bad dream for Kamatari Honjo. Honjo looked at the water, he saw a reflection of his girly face, but a reflection of Seta Soujiro slowly forms beside him. Honjo sighed and slammed his fist against the water, bringing his sadness to an end.

"Soujiro, you're the closest to me in the Juppongatana……… you may have treated me as your brother……… But in my heart, you're more than what you thought………" Honjo sobbed "where are you now……… I don't want to be lonely anymore………"
