Writing Challenge from quoth_the_ravyn on LJ: Try to write different categories of fic (angst, fluff, UST, romance...can you think of others?) in 10 words or less.

Because I'm just trying to get the creative juices flowing, I'm going for something more like a paragraph.

Part Nine

Well, I've read further and Enishi doesn't freak me out nearly as much anymore.

Match his behavior with his reactions to the reason for his behavior and he doesn't grate on me nearly so much. I think my biggest problem with him was that even when we were showed him thinking about Tomoe's death, he still looked smug, and it felt unpleasantly to me like he was just using her as an excuse.

But showing his very real instability and pain made the mania Tomoe's death caused him feel genuine, and he feels, honestly, less like a smug, calculated supervillain and more like a child trying to beat away what hurts. Battousai being far away doesn't ease the knowledge any, so he's blindly hoping that killing or hurting the man who killed her will ease his own pain of being unable to save her.

I'll never like him, but now I think he's a bit more heartbreaking than repulsive. I mostly just wanna rewind time and toss him at Tomoe for a hug, or something. DAMNIT.

I dunno, maybe I can be a semi-analytical reader after all...?

How could anyone possibly like this character? He instills in me a revulsion at his evil that far outstrips even my reaction Inspector Hitler of D.Grayman fame. He is self-satisfied, smug, bloated with pleasure at other's suffering and excuses all his cruelty and sadism by whining that his sister died when he was little.

Bully. For. You. You sick fuck.

Honestly, I haven't had this visceral of a horrified and disgusted reaction to fiction in...well, in a long long time. My skin is crawling in every scene I have to read with him. And some people honestly pair Kaoru with this evil, evil person? Dear god.

A/N: I'm trying my hardest to make this world as simple as possible, because of idea-stealing and plagiarism that's happened and made me utterly phobic. I know it's a bit silly! That's why it's a phobia. Also, the chapter preview idea was shamelessly stolen from jane_drew_ and you can probably also thank her for this update, because she gave me the loveliest--er, series of--reviews in the history of reviews, ever.

This chapter: Kenshin's headscape this time. It ain't pretty. Also, Misao has a few words with Tokio about that favor...
