Chapter One: A Fox’s Life
"Alone, all alone Nobody, but nobody can make it out here alone" ~ Maya Angelou
(Megumi’s POV)
In Aizu... a lady doctor was silently contemplating her life. Thinking about the past, the present and her future.
It has been almost six years since she moved back to Aizu to look for her missing family while working at a hospital owned by a family friend of theirs. Though she misses her life and her friends back in Tokyo, she just couldn’t stay there , however she visits them twice a year just to stay in touch and relived the good ole days when they were still together, her, Kenshin,Kaoru, Yahiko, Dr. Genzai, Ayume ,Suzume and that rooster head Sanosuke.
Well, thinking of Sanosuke…What has that baka been doing all this time? It has been more than five years since he left Japan. Judging from the letter he sent at their spring reunion, he seems to be having fun travelling to different places. Not that she knows more than that, he writes to their friends at the Kamiya Dojo but he never did write to her. He doesn’t even ask about her, well that’s what she thought. She doesn’t even know if he is married or is dating some girls there, “I doubt it if he doesn’t date, well he is good-looking and has a good heart, I’m sure many girls would fall for him just like…hmmm never mind. I should never entertain these thoughts about him.” She sighed and rolled on her futon and cuddled herself, not noticing the tears rolling down her porcelain cheeks…
“I’m lonely, alone and lonely…am I never going to be happy? When was the last time I even felt true happiness, ever since I lost my entire family, I have been trying to find the happiness I lost when I was left alone and had to find ways to survive with the hope that one day I will see my family again. Why does it have to be me? Megumi was crying hard now, she balled her fists and throw hard punches at the pillow, letting her emotions take over her now. There would no one to hear or see her this way; nobody would see her weakness, because she has no one right now except herself. Nobody would hold her like her mother would every time she is sad and nobody would comfort her the way her father would and tell her that everything would be alright.
She laid back on the futon after crying and stared at the ceiling with empty eyes, eyes with the look of coldness and nothingness. “Am I bitter? Megumi began to ask herself. “Do I deserve this? I mean I know I did awful things before with the opium thing but was it my fault? None of those things would happen if she was still with her family, if she didn’t lose them, she wouldn’t have to suffer too much. Why did they leave me? I wish had died with them. I wish that Kanryuu would have killed me or that baka rooster head didn’t stop me from killing myself. I wish Kenshin, Kaoru and Yahiko didn’t try to save me...Huhuhuhu " Tears started to well in her eyes again but this time she didn’t cry, she held herself back.
The coldness of the autumn night breeze started to creep on her body then slowly it began to devour her soul. She pushed the blanket aside, she doesn’t care if she will get sick or people will find her dead the next day. She just doesn’t’ care about her life anymore…nobody did and nobody ever will.
