Author's notes: Okay, this is sort of like my Danny Phantom fic, or, it will be but with Kenshin and the gang! Maybe you'll like it, maybe not. Please be nice in reviews!
Summary: Kenshin is desperately needed in the army(or whatever it was called in Japan during the Meiji Era)but he is hesitant. Kaoru must convince him to go, but will she? She must choose her country or Kenshin, but that's not the only problem...
It was a beautiful morning in Tokyo, Japan. Kaoru Kamiya awoke to the smell of Miso soup, like she always did. Kenshin was an early riser, and Kaoru had nothing against that. Her cooking was nothing compared to Kenshin's. Sometimes she found herself jealous of his cooking and long thick, red hair. It wasn't fair that a man should have prettier hair than her. Everything about him seemed perfect. She slowly made her way out of bed, and changed out of her sleeping Yukata (a/n did I spell that right?) And into her favorite yellow kimono. She tied her hair up in her favorite indigo ribbon. The reason she wasn't wearing her favorite training outfit was because She, Kenshin, Sano, Yahiko, and Megumi were all going into town after breakfast for shopping (mostly the women) and relaxing .She slid open her wooden door and walked down the halls and past the training room. Each corner she turned, the smell and her hunger increased. This morning, she was determined to eat as much as she wanted first, before Sano arrived and Yahiko woke up. If they got there first, there would be nothing left. She finally reached the kitchen and kneeled down at the little wooden table in the corner of the room. Kenshin was just finishing up.
"Why hello Kaoru-dono,"Kenshin greeted her as he walked out with two bowls. She mentally rolled her eyes at the honorific he applied to the end of her name, but instead she just greeted him back.
"Hello Kenshin, as always, your Miso soup smells wonderful."
"Thank you, here," he said while handing her the bowl.
Things were quiet until Sano came bursting into the kitchen. Soon after that Yahiko woke up and things got loud. Megumi arrived just as breakfast was finishing up, and they prepared to leave. Unfortunately, they didn't make it out. They heard a carriage pull up in front of the dojo, and a man getting out. Not long after that, there was knocking on the door. Kaoru went to answer it.
"Yes, can I help you," she asked a tall bearded man.
"I'm looking for a Kenshin Himura, don't worry, he's not in trouble."
At first Kaoru hesitated, but decided to take him inside to Kenshin who was in his room. What was this man doing here? Why did he want Kenshin? She couldn't answer these questions, because they were at Kenshin's door.
"Kenshin, there's a man to see you." They heard him closing a chest and then the door opened. Kaoru could tell that Kenshin was trying to read the man's ki. "Yes, what do you need me for?"
"I would like to speak to you in private."
"Kaoru-dono comes with me."
At first the man looked at Kaoru, then finally agreed. They walked into Kenshin's room which was spotless as always, and sat in the middle of the room.
"I came here to ask you for your help. I'm well aware that you were Hitokiri Battousai during that revolution. We need your help again. There is a new group of men that are trying to disrupt our government. I realize that you don't believe in killing, but please, come back and join the army."
Both the man and Kaoru were expecting Kenshin to think for awhile. Kaoru was holding her breath. Neither one of them were expecting the answer so fast."
"No. I'm sorry, but I'm not going to become involved in that again. I've had my fair share of it already."
"But Himura, we need you, if you could just think about, then I'm sure you- "
"I believe I just told you my answer."
And that was it. Kenshin stood up and left with the man and Kaoru following. Inside Kaoru was really happy. She didn't want Kenshin to leave her again. She felt los without him. Kenshin walked down the hall and out the dojo door. That left Kaoru alone with him.
"Mrs. Kamiya, I'd like to speak to you about this."
"OK, go ahead."
"Japan is in trouble. We really need Himura. If he doesn't help us, Japan could be taken over by a group of men we know nothing about. I need you to convince Kenshin to help us. He'll listen to you."
With that, the man just left. Kaoru was lost. She ran into her room and shut the door, leaving her alone with her thoughts. If she convinced Kenshin to go to war, she might lose him forever. If she didn't, Japan could be ruined. She couldn't bear to lose him. Oh, why were all the important decisions up to women?!
A/N: Sorry about the shortness, this seemed like a good place to stop! Please leave me a review, but be gentle!
