yeah, i know that these aren't the right translations... i didn't have a translater, and i don't know THAT much japanese. I tried my hardest, and it's as close i as could get without looking at my translations that i found later. *sigh* major spoilers. Sorry. I just added a few things here and there. k? k. -Mako

If We Hold on together
She stood stalk still, looking in horror at the grinning face in front of her. Raising her shiina defensively, she took a protective stance.
"You're the one who will bring Battousai the most pain." Enishi grinned his psychotic grin while pointing a pale finger at her.
'Don't lose your way
With each passing day
You've come so far
Don't throw it away'
"I know i can't beat you, but i'm not going to just roll over and die. Kenshin told me that no matter how hard, he'd fight to the end to protect teh present. So he'll be here as soon as he can, like always. As long as Kenshin won't give up, i can't either!" she yelled, a slight blush creeping over her face.
Mumbling something incoherent, she gasped as he disappeared from in front of her. Looking around for her enemy, a cold hand reached around her face and clasped itself over her mouth.
She tried to scream, but her throat wasn't working. Fear filled her mind when she saw that the owner of the hand was standing right behind her.
"Akira mero. (Give Up.)" His voice whispered, and she fell into darkness; the last thing that crossed her mind was Kenshin.
'Live believing
Dreams are for weaving
Wonders are waiting to start
Live your story'
He couldn't move out of the giant's grasp. He knew Kaoru was in danger, but he couldn't move to save his own life.
"WAIT YOU ASS!!" Sano yelled, punching the giant in the chest, sending him into the ground. Saito quickly stabbed him in the side with his sword, leaving a gashing wound. They always save my skin in some way or other… Kenshin thought to himself, picking up his dropped sword. He needed to get off his rage trip, needed to get to normal, needed Kaoru.
'Faith, hope and glory
Hold to the truth
In your heart'
Kaoru-dono….Kaoru-dono…wait for me...Kaoru-dono!! He ran past Megumi, who asked deaf ears what he was doing.
He suddenly stopped.
"That's the smell of white plum. For me, my sister's perfume. For you, now--"
"ENISHI!!" Kenshin screamed (he was still touchy, being Battousai and all) "Why have you taken Kaoru-dono! Where is she?!"
"The scent is your guide. Go and see. The answer you're looking for is there." Enishi faded back into the dust.
He reached the now destroyed dojo, where he had last seen her, and stopped.
He started sweating as Sano and Megumi finally reached him.
"Kenshin!"
"Ken-san! Ken…" Kenshin dropped his sword onto the dusty floor.
'If we hold on together
I know our dreams
Will never die'
"…What is the Hitenmitsurugiryuu for…." He went down onto his knees, burning tears threatening to spill. "…What is Himura Kenshin…I…I…why can't I ever protect the one person I want to protect the most…" the tears started spilling. "Kaoru…dono…"
Burning tears ran down his bloody face, mixing with the dirt and grime.
"Kaoru"
There was her body, eyes open to look at the world through a dead stare, two cuts on her cheek to make it look like Kenshin's scar. Enishi's long, nasty sword right through her chest, pinning her to the wall.
'Dreams see us through
To forever
Where clouds roll by'
Kamiya Kaoru was 17. She was raised to fight by her father, the teacher at the Kamiya Dojo. Her body had been warm when Megumi had inspected it, marking that it was surely real. Blood had been spilled around it.
She was buried at sunset one of the following days, and everyone that she knew were weeping over the loss. The Kenshin-Gumi weren't at her funeral; they had paid their respects earlier.
All except for the Rurouni. He had disappeared after the battle, mumbling something about letting two lovers die at his own hand when he should have been able to protect them.
Sano and the others found out, from one of Sano's dirty friends, that Kenshin had disappeared into the place for lost souls, wanderers whose wanders had ended. He had slipped away to a place called "Rakuninmura".
'For you and I'
Well wasn't that pleasant. For all you who don't know, I'm getting this story out of the manga, I'm sorta retelling it. Not 'cause I hate Kaoru, rather, I felt like I should write it. I don't know why. The song is called "If We Hold on Together", by Diana Ross. It was the end song to the first Land Before Time movie, and is a very sweet song. Rurouni Kenshin is owned by that one person…can't remember name at the time, but you know who I'm talking about, right? Well, look out for the next chapter! Sorry this one was so short. -Mako
