Modern Day Tokyo
It was a beautiful day at the Kamiya Dojo. Kenshin sat alone doing the laundry. Kaoru
had gone with Yahiko and Sano into town, but Kenshin had wanted to stay behind, try as Kaoru
may to convince him.
Kenshin was so glad to be back. He had hated having to leave for Kyoto, and now, he had
promised himself never to leave again. He had especially missed Kaoru, and though he still
hadn't admitted it, He loved her, and he never wanted to do that to her again. He always wanted
to be able to see her smiling face or be there for her to beat upon. In Kenshin's mind, it was better
than not being there to bruise. And when he had left, everything reminded him of Kaoru, the
flowers at the side of the road, the breeze, everything.
Kenshin was dreaming of this when two men approached the Kamiya Dojo. Kenshin
looked up. They were Government officials. Whatever it was they needed, Kenshin was sure to
say no. He couldn't leave Kaoru again. He WOULDN"T leave her again.
"Himura the Battousai!"
Kenshin looked up. He glared at the mention of that name. He was Kenshin Himura, the
ex-rurouni. Not the Battousai.
"Battousai. I am the President of the Main Security Branch Of Japan. This is The
President of the Space Program here in Japan."
Kenshin just nodded. He sensed that they wanted something, and he would not give in.
He couldn't give in.
"Battousai, in two weeks we will send a space craft into space. This is a Vital ship that
must reach the space station. We have become aware of a spy, or somewhat. He has been causing
problems all over. We don't know who this man is. All we know is that he has ultimate access,
and he uses a sword style like no other. He is a very dangerous man, and though we don't have a
clue who he is, we know what he plans to do."
"If he is not stopped, my space program will fail. He plans to completely explode the ship
and the space station. If he does, it will kill all the people up there, and the debree from the two
objects would probably come down to earth killing many hundreds of innocent people
throughout the world. Men, women, children, the whole lot.
"Depending on the angle, it could hit this very spot in which we are standing, because the
space station should be over Tokyo, Japan when we reach it."
"Your friends could be the ones injured or killed. We do not want anyone harmed in this
assignment. We have asked Saitou to come along and supervise the security on the ship, but we
really want you to come along Battousai."
"What would you expect me to do?"
"We ask you to come along and find the spy. We want him out of the way. We don't
expect you to kill him, unless you wish, but we ask you to stop him. Only the Battousai can do
this."
Kenshin was silent. He couldn't leave Kaoru again. He COULDN"T!!!!! But all those
innocent people..... and Kaoru might be one of them if he stayed. It was to be with Kaoru, or save
her life.
Just then Ayame and Sazume ran through the front gate.
"Keni? Keni! Where are you? Come and play with us!!!!!!!! Grandpa says it is safe to
play horsie, so we want to play!!!"
Safe. The word reverberated through him. Would it be safe? Certainly not if he didn't
leave. It was the hardest thing Kenshin had done, but he said,
"Fine. When must I leave here?"
"Tonight if possible. This is of utmost confidentiality. You cannot tell anyone where or
why you go. If you do it only puts us all in danger. Not to mention anyone you know or are
around become your greatest weakness's. Leave without a sound."
"One thing. I am not doing this for you, or even for Japan. It is for the people of it, all the
innocent people, and once I have done this thing, NEVER contact me again, or you will find that
I have broken my vow to kill..... on YOU."
Kenshin's eyes flicked of amber, and the pain inside of him grew. He knew what he had
just agreed to, and it pained him deeply. He would not even get to say goodbye to Kaoru.
"Sayonara Battousai. We will see you shortly."
With that the two men turned and left. As they walked away, Ayame and Sazume found
Kenshin by the laundry.
"Who are those guys Keni?"
"Yeah who are they Keni? Yeah yeah."
"Did they come to play horsie too?"
"No they didn't de gozaru. Will you two please go talk to your grandfather please? I need
to think a moment."
"Oh. But we want to play Horsie!!!!!"
"Yeah Horsie!!!!!"
"I am sorry little ones de gozaru, but I need to do a bit of thinking now. Run along quicky
now."
"Okay Keni." the girls said with frowns on their faces. They turned and ran down to the
Gate and went back to their grandfather.
Kenshin buried his face in this hands. How could he leave Kaoru? How could he not even
say goodbye? Not even leave the comfort that he would be alright? He knew that if he failed he
would be one of the ones to explode on the ship, and then the debree would kill Kaoru. He knew
that he had to do this. He would not allow himself to fail at this. He knew he would succeed. He
HAD TO succeed.
Kenshin started to cry, tears flowing down his cheeks and then down his neck. He started to tell
himself of the positive, and that he would succeed, but a thought came to him. What if Kaoru
didn't want him back once he left? If he had left before and said he would never leave again, then
would she want him after he lied? The thought made him cry harder, and he decided he would
become a rurouni once more after he completed this task.
"Kaoru.......Kaoru..... Kaoru!!!!!!"
Reviews are greatly appreciated! My first fic! How did I do? Do you want me to keep
going? There is more for those who want it. Thanks! ^_^x
