Betrayal
Disclaimer-I do not own Rurouni Kenshin
Sorry to you 2 people who were waiting so long for me to get this up! (You know who you are.) I'm just really lazy. SORRY!
Chapter One
Kyoto-The Bakumatsu
Kamiya Rin was Kaoru's mother. (A/N-I'm sorry, I don't know her name, tell me if you know and I'll change it.) She had disguised herself as a man to join the army and fight against the Ishin Shishi.
She had been transferred, with thousands of other people, to Kyoto to try and kill the Hitokiri Battosai.
After wandering the streets for hours,she saw him. But he wasn't facing her. He was facing another group that she recognized as the Shinsengumi. Neither was moving.
This was her chance.
She raised her sword and charged at him from behind.
Her eyes widened when he turned and blocked her sword. Suddenly, to her eyes, his red hair looked like blood.
Then, the Shinsengumi charged.
Battosai looked at her with an amber gaze. He said, "I don't have time for a lady striking from behind."
Kamiya Rin's blood splattered the ground.
The letter Kaoru's father got explained how she died, and even who had killed her.
He never told Kaoru. She was so young; he just told her that her mother diedof disease.
Tokyo-After Shishio
Kaoru's hated cleaning. Even worse, she had to clean out a room for the vixen-she was coming to visit. And even more worse, she had to clean out her father's old room.
She was almost done, when she moved the futon. There was a hole under it. Broken though the floor and dug into the ground.
There was a box in it. She grabbed the box, and opened it.
Inside were picture of her mother, and a letter that looked really old.
She grabbed the letter first. It said-
Kamiya's,
We are sad to inform you that your relative serving in the war was killed in Kyoto by the Hitokiri Battosai.
Shogun
Kaoru dropped the letter. Hitokiri Battosai. Kenshin. Kenshin killed her mother.
Kaoru fell to her knees.
"Kenshin……."she whispered. "Why?"
"Kaoru-dono?"
Kaoru jumped. "Oh…….Hey, Kenshin." She hurriedly moved the futon over the hole and stuffed the letter into her obi. Kenshin either didn't notice, or pretended not to.
"Kaoru-dono, are you okay?"
"Kenshin, I'm fine. Now can you leave me alone for a while? I……I have to finish cleaning."
"Kaoru-dono, you are you not okay." Kenshin grabbed her hand and dragged her to the kitchen. "This one will make you some tea."
That night, Kaoru thought about her mother's death. But there was only one thought in her mind. Kenshin did it. And he's going to pay with his life.
That night, she began her plan.
