NOROI/CURSE

''Enemy or not,evil is evil.Run''
That is a must as it seems,but only in my head.Instead of doing that I simply marvel towards him,a retreating figure clad in black wearing a mask I had only see a sketch of it that very sketch does the very sight no justice.
My ears hear cries of injustice from the mask,the cry of a young woman who had been violently taken from life,from a son who saw it happen to her.......
So,so much blood she yells in my head...Thunder claps over head and the rain pours on hard above me,the ground my only clear line of sight the sound that pounds my ears next are the running feet of more shinsengumi.
I never thought I would run from who I looked at as heroes of our country,my heroes.Yet,for all those that attempt to be good there is equally so or more trying to be so much worse.
''Where do I go,come on think."I mutter to myself trying to see the land in my timeline rather than in pre meiji era,trying to remember this exact battle which I do not at recall.
I obsessed over my study of ever recorded battle in our history as well as battles in warring states China and Korea.
Why do not I recall this one at all?
''Halt!''the warriors scream out and I scream just out of being stunned out of reverie which makes my tired shoeless feet curse me but I force them on and on past an unfamiliar to me now forest ,hating myself for not studying my scholar grandfathers maps that he mad himself of the various battles......
''BAKA!''i curse to me praying to GOD to get me out of here somehow,arrows are flying by and the shinsengumi appear to be slowing there pursuit of me,I look around me almost pausing to see why and that's when I do see it.
Thin sheets of a single character kanji hanging on the trees lining this path to a shrine I don't recognize,one that appears not to have been built by a monk but by a child,a shrine also is poor choice of words.
More like a memorial mound and the rest is show,I hear the shinsengumi men from my hiding place beside the horse gate of center from the memorial area whispering about the hanging sheets of kanji"Noroi.......deaths beloved ally.......''
Before I know it,I'm by myself from my former heroes and in a memorial of a place that should not exist,it didn't exist according to every record I have ever seen or been told of.
Noroi.
I see it then,in it's full horrific glory.
