'…' is a person thinking

He may never know

Kaoru woke up with the sun shining in her face, she slowly opened her eyes and looked around the room. She got up and changed into her clothes then put her hair up into a high ponytail. Walking out of the room she saw Sano her friend, who also joined Inshin Shishi only because she joined, walk up to her.

"Hey Jou-chan! did ya sleep well? Oh ya Katsura wants to see you."

"Thanks Sano and yes I did sleep well." Kaoru walked to Katsura's room

"Ah..Miss Kamiya just the person I wanted to see….."

"What is it?" she asked taking a seat

"Another assignment for you to do and Himura will finish the job." He said looking at the side of the corner. There sat the best assassin people called him the Battousai although she never knew his real name, all she would hear is Himura or battousai. She looked at him meeting his amber eyes. Then she looked back at Katsura.

"You will be killing a few men so you two must watch your backs"

"Come on Katsura-san we've been doing this for quite a while, I'm sure we know what we're doing." Kaoru said getting up and leaving the room. Katsura chuckled , she was always calm never complaining when ever she received assignments she was just like Himura quiet and never showed his emotions. 'ha what am I saying Kamiya does show emotion'. Kenshin got up from his spot and left the room.

"aww come on Jou-chan! I promise I'll never ask you to cook me food again if you cook me food just this once!" Sano said pleading. Kaoru sighed and went to cook food. "Yes! Thanks sooooo much!!" Kenshin watched Kaoru make the food. She was the best cook here, everyone loved her cooking ' I don't see why she came here if she doesn't want

kill' Kenshin was so deep in thought he didn't notice Kaoru calling him. "Himura-san?" he looked up. "What?" he asked coldly. Kaoru smiled softly at him, which took him by surprised. "would you like to eat?" "no." with that he left.

"is he always like that?" Kaoru asked sitting down with Sano.

"ya…just ignore him…"

Soon night came, Kaoru and Kenshin left for there assignment. While walking Kaoru was behind Kenshin and staring at him. ' …damn this girl….stop staring at me..' "Will you stop staring at me?" he said coldly. "oh…sorry…it's just that….umm..well.." " Just spit it out already!" he said stopping and turning around to face her. "um…what's your name?" This took Kenshin by surprise. 'of out of the time and day she ask me what my name is..' " This isn't the time right now…we have an assignment to do.." "………right…" They went to there destination.

Once they arrived they saw two men guarding a house. Kaoru quickly went pass Kenshin and went to the men. "Hey! Stop right there! What are you doing here?" one of the men said. " …gomen-nasai…" She quickly drew her sobakasu and slashed the guy across the chest, the guy fell to the ground unconscious. The other person took his sword out and attacked her. Kaoru quickly blocked the attack and pushed him back. She ran started to run to him then disappeared. "..what the hell?" "..behind you.." she whispered. Once he turned around he found himself falling to the ground because she had already slashed him across the chest.

"…..I am finished…" she said to Himura. Kenshin walked out of his hiding spot and went into the house. All Kaoru heard were screams from men, she did not want to go in because Himura-san killed in a disgusting way, but she went in anyway. She found people on the ground with blood everywhere and body parts. Then she heard a pleading voice and went inside. There, Kenshin was holding his sword to a man's neck and that man looked over at her. "…..Kaoru-chan…." Kenshin then pierced his sword to through the man's neck. Kaoru's eyes widen seeing who that man was as he fell to the ground with a bit of blood splashing on to her face and clothing. Kaoru looked at the body holding her tears that were threatening to spill.

"Lets go.." Kenshin said walking past her. She just stood there not moving still looking over the body.

"I said lets go.." he said grabbing her arm. Kaoru kept quiet walking back to the hideout and Kenshin couldn't see what was wrong with her because her bangs were covering her eyes. Once they reached to the hideout Kaoru let go of Kenshin's grip and went to Katsura's room.

"Katsura-san…..you did not tell me that one of the people Himura-san was to kill was my father's friend!" she said angrily.

"……I did not think you would know him…….…" he said quiet surprised

"….You should of said there names! So I would at least know who they were..like you always do with the others!" she yelled

"I did not think that this one was important…….I'm sorry…"

"So am I….." with that she left the room
