Summary: Kaoru's inner monologue after Kenshin leaves

Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, or Frank Sinatra's song "All of me"

"All gone with you"

*Why not take all of me...

Why not just take all of me away- my hands, my legs, my arms- all of it!Just take it all away. Kenshin, won't you come back? I don't remember how to live

*Can't you see I'm no good without you?...

I won't tell anyone, but I've cried every day since you left. Friends and neighbors try to cheer me up, but it never helps. Miss Megumi offered some herbs to help me sleep, but I said no thank you.

Yahiko is out there training everyday. He admires and wants to be just like you. He shouts "Some day I'll be strong as Kenshin and Sanosuke, no even stronger!"

He tries to start arguments with me, I think to help with some familiarity, but I just don't have the energy to play along.

You left more than five months ago, I've kept track. Yesterday Yahiko yelled and punched the door to your bedroom saying "It's your fault Jaoru is so sick Kenshin, just come back already!" He didn't know I returned from the market and heard him. It made me angry to hear him blaming you that way, but I left him alone.

Is he right Kenshin? I don't know. I don't know anything anymore, you took all the answers with you that day.

I know you couldn't, but I wish you had taken me too.
