Oh No, The Dreaded Curse is Mine

dangermousieI have fallen hard for a secondary character. Who?
Shinomori Aoshi from Rurouni Kenshin. It's that aura of weary nobility and his uber-amazing fighting skills (he almost kills Kenshin) and his absolute loyalty to his retainers: he won't accept government work because they won't be able to adjust to normal life after their existence as fighters. It's a loyalty they return, they shield him with their bodies even as he watches, helpless (he's taken bullet wounds to protect them) and in agony at their deaths.
It's his strict notion of honor and bleak view of life and the fact that he just doesn't fit into this modern world any more. The fact that he left Megumi a knife to kill herself so she'd escape torture (though notably, he didn't help her escape).
I love Kenshin and adore Sanosuke (![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
crumpeteer is right, he totally likes Megumi and can talk her out of her dramatics, yay) but neither compares for the mad crush I have on Aoshi. Woe. Especially since he asked Kenshin to kill him or he will come after him. And Kenshin didn't, so it means he will come after him. No! I don't want him to die and I have grave fears. On the plus side, I'll see him again as he is a recurring character. Ahhh, the pangs of falling for a non-lead.
Here is a webpage that gives the character history (I didn't read the summary and just looked at the stats as it has the dreaded SPOILERS).
In other news, I am fighting an urge to write a Fushigi Yuugi fanfic. I have no shame.
So far, looking at my anime crushes, I have Allen Shezar from Escaflowne, Vash from Trigun, Tamahome from Fushigi Yuugi and now Aoshi from Rurouni Kenshin (I adore Doumyouji frim Hana Yori Dango, but no crush because...just. I don't know, but I don't think it's a crush kind of adoration). They don't have much in common except for angst, superb fighting skills and awesome hair. Hmmmm.
RK itself continues to be an anime I enjoy a lot and find interesting, but that is so far (12-13 eps in) is luckily not causing life-disrupting obsession.
