A/N - I wrote this very quickly and it is heavily, HEAVILY inspired by Yukimura’s Act 2 and the relationship dynamics/consequences explored therein, so, if you want to organically come to your own conclusions about those, consider that this may contain SPOILERS.
It hardly seems
fair, that the gods dragged him back.
He did enough, didn’t he?
He did what no one else did. No one else could. Surely, such a life had been spent thoroughly enough that an
exercise in repeating it would be superfluous.
I’m falling more and more for girls so why not doing a Fem!Genya? (well, Genya can have me as a man or a woman, I don’t care at all, I love my lazy ninja <3)
I am so glad that I finally wrote this story. I’ve had the first few parts written for… like… a year or so haha. Ever since I read Shingen and Kenshin’s divine destiny endings. Then Saizo’s act 2 came out in Tenka and I knew I had to get it out before it came out in SLBP. So now it’s done being a WIP! I have something else having to do with this fic that I wrote and had intended on including with the story, but it would have made the sections too long and 9/10 were already two parts worth of words long as it was haha.
Note: The backstory to be mentioned is unrelated to the actual backstory on Kenshin’s original route, but for some reason, some parts could match.
It was about damn time he reached
out to the voids of his mind once again. The abyss where lies the entirety of
her existence that he had thrown away in order to forget. The whistles of the
wind were nothing compared to the voices that flooded his ears as soon as he
uttered her name once again.
“She was named Ouka,” Kenshin
said as his eyes followed one petal that flew past his face, “a princess that
was just like her name. She belonged to the glow of spring, for she was
beautiful and gentle.”
He paused.
“…no, she was spring itself. Her
smile was like an embodiment of life. She was… a new beginning after a cold
winter.”
The fond way he spoke of her was
like alcohol; each word about her was another cup of sake. It was dizzying. It
was poured on his wounds directly and it twinge, it hurt, it killed.
But he had intended to say
everything he felt, everything he had wanted to say, in order to drown it all
out in the wind. Once and for all.
Katsumi leaned against the trunk.
“You must have liked her very much.”
“Words were never enough to
describe.” He retorted. “…She was a healer, and for that she always valued
life. Always said that life is precious. She looked at me in the eyes and held
my hands. She told me that my life is worth living. She loved me, the God of
War.”
Oh, the irony. A princess that
valued life loved the God of War. It was like one of those forbidden love
tropes, which is popular when talking about this era, except that hearing it
first-hand made it more wholesome. It was the real thing.
He exhaled. “…I have never taken
a life before I met her.”
oh mr ‘sea creatures look like lil bitches’ is looking for redemption now… dont think ive forgotten… i still have my surgical tools laying around here somewhere so dont get too comfortable
