This is just Shartae having an idiot attack. I'm trying to figure out how to link a community in a post so just ignore this. No matter how messed up it gets.~.~;;;

20themes1. The Places in Between
She had known for a long time now that she would have to choose her side someday. Ever since that time when Okuni had spoken to her of her brother’s murderer she had known that it would come down to this.
Whether to be with Kyoshiro, the kind man she had met in the beginning of this long journey and the one who had murdered her older brother, or to be with Kyo the slayer of a thousand men.
It occurred to her that she had probably lost her mind for it to come to this. Standing outside the circle of their eyes waiting for the battle to begin.
She cared for them both with all her heart and knew that even if she loved one more than the other she would never be willing to give up either of their lives.
Kyoshiro though a fool sometimes, had never shown her anything but kindness even if he had killed her brother. He had kept secrets from her and lied to keep her from knowing the truth…but hadn’t they promised to see the sakura trees together in Edo? Wasn’t that worth it?
Kyo was… Rude, uncouth, and arrogant beyond belief, but he had saved her life so many times. He could have left her to die, but he didn’t. He smiled at her making her more confident that they could make it through the tough times.
Finally moving with a calm that hid her frayed nerves she stood exactly where she belonged, between the two men ready to fight, because she refused to lose either of them.
2. Touching Me, Touching You
Her hands had always been soft, so much smaller than his. She was always gentle, but confident and kind. Kyoshiro never remembered her anyhow else, but now every time he tried to reach out to touch her she would vanish like the wind in his hands.
It was a reminder that he would never be with her again, not after everything that had happened. He could never apologize to her enough and so in the end he never bothered to.
The past mistakes could never be covered up and the future could not be changed.
3. Real or Not?
Sasuke had left them. He had just simply up and vanished never to be heard from again. Saizo had felt the sudden loss, but not nearly as much as Yukimura-sama.
Now fighting him, he had been certain that there was nothing left of his former friend and teacher, but he saw it every now and then, during the battle, a small glimpse of sorrow or regret.
It was gone as quickly as it had come leaving Saizo to wonder each time, but now Sasuke was dead leaving only unanswered questions in his wake. Was it Real or had he been imagining the soft smile?
