Rurouni Kenshin Fan Fiction ❯ There for you ❯ Chapter 3

"""Why I did this""

LAST TIME:

I will revenge for what you did to your sister and my lover Tomoe.I have suffered enough!It's your turn!

She was standing again in front of the window and looking in the garden.She was deep in thoughts.She was thinking of the strange man in the garden from far away.But from where she ask herself.

Her thoughts were cut off when a guard steps in her room.

"I'm sorry milady but the king wishes to see you immediately!"

"But why?I thought that we are going to meet on the wedding!" she opposed.The truth was that she didn't want see him!The people say that he is very rude and cruel.

"I'm sorry milady but I don't know!The orders are orders!I must obey!" answered the guard quietly.

She catches a note of fear on his face.

"Well I don't have a choise, do I?" asked Kaoru sarcastically with a sad smirk." Will you be so kind to lead me to his room?" asked she politely.

"It would be my honor!Please follow me close if you don't want to get lost!"

They walk through the long corridors to the room of the king.Kaoru look around.The floor was polished the windows were clean noticed she.

They stopped in front of a room.The guard open it and when Kaoru walk into it he quickly close it behind her very softly.

Kaoru look around.The room was even bigger than her own but was darker.There was only one window in the hole room.Without a second thought she rushed to the window and open it so the light come into the room freely.

"Don't!" barked someone behind her.That frightened the hell out of her so much that she jumped at least two feet away from the window.She turned around to see whose voice was that.

What she saw frightened her to death.There next to the bed in the shadow was standing a tall man with white hair and the most frightening eyes in the world.

At first she thought that this was an old man but when he step in the light she saw that he was not very old. In fact he looked her age.She snapped out of her thoughts and bowed fixing her eyes on the floor.Kaoru was far too afraid to look in those cruel eyes.

The king looked her up and down with an arrogant smirk.Kaoru was uncomfortable.She felt like a horse for sale.The king walked to her put his fingers under her chin and roughly pick her head up.He looked at her face and notice that her eyes where still pined to the floor.

"Look at me!" he commanded with low tone. This tone of his voice sent shivers down her spine.But she still was afraid and didn't.

"I will not repeat myself again woman,but if I have to I promise that you will not like it much!" he said.

She hesitated for a moment but then slowly met his eyes.

He looked at her eyes not very interested and then turned her head to left and then to right.

"You are indeed very beautiful," he said.

"Thank you sir!" she said politely but then a slap came crushing to her face.She moved her hand to cover the spot on her cheek that the king had slapped.

"Don't talk when you don't have a permission from me," he said angrily his eyes burning with rage.

"It's time to learn your place wench!" he said.

She felt tears in her eyes but she couldn't cry in front of him.

Don't cry don't cry she repeated to herself again and again.She wanted to be anywhere but here.

"We are going to get married today and you will be mine.And I always keep what's mine" he said still holding her chin."You are something very beautiful!Oh and you better be a virgin or you will regret this I promise you because I am going to punish you and your parents.Do I made myself clear?" he asked very slowly.

Kaoru was speechless.She was not like a horse for sale anymore.That was worse. She was some king of object for somebody to possess.Her nightmares were becoming true.She was trapped like a nightingale in a golden cage.And for first time in her entire life she saw no exit to get away .For first time in her entire life Kaoru heiress of the castle BLACK ROSE was afraid.

When she didn't answer he shaked her fragile body violently till she snapped out of her thoughts.Afraid not to make him any more angry she nod her head.

Suddenly there were screams in the corridor and the door burst open.

Both Kaoru and the king looked in the direction of the door.There was standing the very same man Kaoru met earlier in the garden.But what caught her attention where his eyes.They were not the same warm purple eyes like before.They were cold,fierce and very strange-gold.

He was like a wild beast looking for his prey to satisfy his hunger.In his right hand was a drawn katana.

His eyes immediately examined the room.And when he found his target he said in a low tone

"Hallo Enishi!Do you remember me or do I have to remind you who I am?"

"What are you doing here and how did you get in?" he asked but there was no fear in his voice.

Kaoru couldn't move.She was stunned from what was happening before her.

"Your guards are dead lying in their own blood and I'm here to make your life hell like you did mine!I know what would hurt you more than death!" he said with an arrogant smirk playing on his lips.

"Oh really?And what is that?" he asked sarcastically.

"I know that you have already clamed that woman standing next to you as yours and I'm going to take her for myself!"
