I Will Remember You
Chapter 1
It was a curse to be beautiful. Whichever woman was beautiful, had to suffer an ill terrible faith. Those who were considered just plain did have life a little easier but they were still desired by men. That was how life was. In time of cruelity, the time when wars were taking place, slaves worked very hard to earn a living. Some of them considered that living the kind of the life they lived was so harsh that they rather die then live. But through all the commotion, through all the pain and suffering, one little girl had found a way to live. Through the saddest and hard times she showed a little faith, a little hope that was shown in her blue beautiful eyes. However, her parents were slaves to a mean and cruel family, which hated her. The little blue eyed girl always experienced some form of abuse from the family whom she was working with. Her mother wished she could do more for her, but how can she? She was helpless!
"Why is it I have to go through so much?" asked the mother. "What have I done to deserve this treatment? Have I done something wrong? Have I committed any sin for my daughter and me to deserve the abuse that we are getting?"
"You did nothing wrong my beautiful. You have done nothing wrong. It is not our fault we are in the position. It is the family's fault to the way they are treating us," said the little girl's father. "They treat us the way they do because that is how they were taught."
"But I can't let them take out their anger and their frustration on our daughter. She is so young, so innocent. She does not comprehend how the real world works. She doesn't know her capabilities as yet," said the mother. Her eyes were full of tears. The tall man with dark hair as midnight watched his wife. He wished he could take his family away from this hellhole. He wished to take them far away so that no one could ever find them.
"Please my love, don't cry. You must not cry. We could get through this together." He knew he should have never said that because his wife gave him angry look.
"What did you say? No I don't want to hear it," she said coldly. "My daughter is not going to go through what I went through. She is not going to follow my footsteps. My daughter is going to grow up free. She is not to become some kind of whore to men. She is not to follow their orders and be left in the middle no where. She is not going to work day and night to please a family and most of all she is not going to lose her honor. Oh no she is not! As long as I am alive no one is going to touch her!"
In the corner of the room, where no one could see her, the little girl heard everything her mother and father were arguing about. Their were tears in her beautiful wide blue eyes. She felt so much pain in her body, yet she didn't know why. She wanted to call her mother's name. To tell her everything was going to be okay. No matter what was the outcome, she promised that she would keep up to her mother's wishes. If her mother desired her to have her freedom more than anything, she would do everything in her will power to make sure she possessed freedom. After all a promise was sacred.

"Kaoru, where are you? Please Kaoru you have to stop doing this. I can't do this all the time. If the master finds out that you are missing, you will put me in my deathbed," said the young woman.
"How could I leave this place? I rather be here then out there," said Kaoru as she appeared from behind the tree.
"You have to go. The master sold you off to a stranger. If you don't go, then both of us will be in big trouble," the young woman confirmed.
"But Misao, you are the only family member I have left. How could I leave you? I am going to be going off into another stranger's home. The worst part is that it's a man. He has no family, no one that he lives with whatsoever. I can't do this! I can't go!" By the time Kaoru got to finish what she had to say, she heard a rough voice calling her and Misao inside the house.
Misao ran off to attend to her master leaving Kaoru behind. "Mom you thought that I have forgotten the promise I made to you before you died? Well you're wrong. I haven't forgotten it. Everything you taught me about myself will help me get away from here. I will get my freedom at last," she whispered to the wind. Watching the landscape before, she felt as if the wind responded to her. Leaning against a tree, Kaoru closed her eyes to feel the cool breeze hit her face. Doing this action reminded her of the times she use to lean against a tree with her mother. Her mother would tell her all kinds of stories about being free. Kaoru smiled. Now Kaoru was a young woman. Oh how she wished her mother was here with her to see how much she had grown since then. Throughout the years Kaoru lived, most of her memories were dreadful. They were too painful to remember. But once the dreadful memories came to her, there was no stopping them. She remembered her mother struggling to escape out of the grasps of men. Her father was tied and was beaten badly. There was blood everywhere. She as a little girl was locked up in a small room, only hearing her mother cries, as all the men ravished her. When they were done her mother's body was left on the floor. All her private parts exposed for the world to see. She had deep cuts and bruises from their rough handling. And so every night new torture came to her mother, her father meeting his doomed faith, Kaoru could do nothing but cry. In every way she hoped, she prayed that her parents did not have to go through the torture. She prayed that it would all end soon. But that was something she regretted after that tragic night.
Flashback
"Lock up that stupid girl before I kill her! Lock her up now!" Yelled the Master. He was tall, broad shouldered, had a body of steel. He could knock out or even kill anyone with one punch. Even though he had a wife, he wasn't faithful to her. He used her mother as though she was his whore. He used her body as though it was nothing, but only made to give him his pleasure. The tall middle aged man knew no the meaning of no mercy. He bent his head so low so that he whisper some words to Kaoru's mother. When he lifted his head, Kaoru saw her mother's face darkened. She was angry at whatever he told her.
"She's a feisty one isn't she?" asked one of the young men. "I thought after all the nights what we did to her would change that attitude of hers, but it looks like I was wrong." The group of young men surrounded Kaoru's mother, giving her no chance to escape.
"Father! Father! The men, they are here and they're going to hurt mommy!" Kaoru ran, looking for her father, but he was nowhere to be found. "Father! The men are going to hurt mommy! They are going to do something bad to her!" she yelled. It was no use. Her father was nowhere to be found. Her mother was and her were left behind to fend these men by themselves.
In the coolness of night, just around their cabin, Kaoru screamed as loud as she could to stop the men from ravishing her mother. She sobbed as she begged them to have mercy for her mother, to stop doing what they were doing to her. As one of the men pinned Kaoru's arms in place and forced her to stay where she was, Kaoru could do nothing but to look at the men who slaughtered her mother. Look at what remained of her mother, as she made no attempt to move or to push the men away. She acted as if she was dead. The men laughed at her body. They laughed and walked away. All accept the master of course. He stayed behind just to preach to her about her place in society, but he never did that. "This is what you get when you try so hard to be something that you are not. With one act of defiance, there are consequences that have to be paid," said the master. She realized he wasn't talking to her mother, but to her. "The outcome to not doing something you are supposed to do, will lead you to your own doom. From this experience Kaoru, I hope you learn to never disobey me or your new master, because if you do, you would have received the same death as your mother just received." And with those words, he walked away without ever turning his back.
Kaoru, left there all by herself, was stunned. Was my mother dead? Did he actually kill my mother? How could he do something like that to her? She's my mom. No one could ever be so beautiful and compassionate as she was! No one could ever sing and make them happy as she could! She was like an angel from the heavens sent to live here in this hellhole. And here she was trying to defend me, to save me from this hellhole! In the ending she died because of me! I was the cause! And me, I was so stupid not to help her! I was so damn weak! Why me God? Why me? I am only 10 years old! I am way too young to lose my mother, yet I couldn't do anything to save her! That should have been me there lying on the ground dead and lifeless as she! Kaoru ran to her mother's life less body. What she saw from the dead corpse that was in front of her, would haunt her memories for the rest of her life. Her mother eyes which were once a rich hazel, that was so filled with life and spirit was replace by dullness, and death. She was tortured before her death, and her eyes were the proof to knowing the pain before her very last breath. Her whole body was surrounded and drenched with blood. The air was gloomy looking giving the place where Kaoru was standing an eerie place to remember for all time.
"I am sorry mother," she whispered. "I am sorry for being a weakling. I do not deserve your forgiveness, but I will keep the promise that I made to you mother and I will have the master pay for what he did to you." As the tears fell from her wide blue eyes, her long raven hair falling in front of her face Kaoru vowed to keep her promise and vowed to work extremely hard until she was strong and capable enough to defend herself.
Present
Kaoru checked her surroundings one last time before she walked back into the house where her master awaited for her. While walking back to her master, she was surrounded by her memories of her father and mother she once loved. Since they passed away Kaoru knew she never wanted to fall in love or care for anyone else but herself and Misao. Love would just a sin. To love someone fully, was like killing them. If there was no love, but only care at least on one was going to die. Well at least that was what Kaoru thought.
In the darkest corner of the woods, where no one could find him so easily. A young man watched the beautiful and attractive raven hair woman leave. He knew that she no younger then the age of seventeen. It was amusing, just watching so many different emotions played across her beautiful face. From the moment he first laid eyes on her, his body knew that he had to claim her as his. What he wanted was what he got. What he wanted fright now was the raven hair woman, and he would do everything his will power to get her, to possess, to make her his.
