Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ keeping secrets ❯ Chapter 1

Hi

No own kenshin

"Make sure you tell battosia we thought his bitch was a good fuck"

They left her then. She didn't move for a long time not until she noticed the sun starting to rise. Sitting up hurt like hell and standing was worse, but she made it. She looked around for what was left of her clothes. She found her kimono it was ripped and bloody but better than nothing. She put the ruined garment back on and wondered vaguely if she looked as bad as she felt. She quickly concluded it was impossible for any one to look worse than she felt. She couldn't see her obi but she did find her sandals. Karou started of in what she hoped was the right direction.

It was a lovely morning for a walk. Karou didn't notice. She was trying hard not to notice anything. She tried not to do anything but walk and breathe. But her thoughts would not let her be she could not stop her thoughts and emotions. They refused to let her be. Flashes of the night before plagued her as she made her way back home. She could feel their calloused hands on her flesh, still smell the stench of sake dirt and sex.

"Make sure you tell battosia we thought his bitch was a good fuck"

That statement hurt the most. That she had been beaten. That she had been raped but none of it had been done to hurt her. It had been for Kenshin. It was infuriating the thought that she was just some tool to hurt Kenshin. She wanted to scream at the injustice. In that instant she hated everyone and everything. She hated the sun for shining as if nothing had happened. She hated the birds for chirping. She hated every person she had ever met. She hated Kenshin, but most of all she hated herself. She was week and dirty and useless except to cause pain for Kenshin. She fell to the ground and wept. She couldn't stand it. She hated hurting Kenshin. It wasn't fair. `life isn't fair, get up go home and get on with it, if you don't want to hurt him don't tell him. Make it out to be a random act of violence that way you're no ones tool.' That is exactly what she did. That hatred was still there but now it pushed her forward.

Karou was going to be different from then on. She forced her tiered body of the ground and continued her solitary march only this time she was not some silly girl used to hurt Battosia. She wasn't sure who she was but she was not going back to her dojo as that same girl who was so easily hurt and used. If they wanted to hurt Kenshin they would have to grow some balls and do it themselves because she was no longer going to do it for them. He would not see her cry he would not have to comfort her. She was through being the silly naïve girl who could be used by anyone. She was going to be strong damnit.

This is just a teaser real chapters will be longer. I would like to work some humor in as this could be very dark. Anyway, i'm also working on an inu fic so this might sit for a while unless you guys review more than my other readers.
