A/N: Wow, I'm a fanfiction writing fiend right now O.O don't worry to anyone who reads either Business Affair or Zanarkand, City of Lights both will be continued. I'm going to try a little darker type of fanfiction.

Disclaimer: I do not own RK if I did Kenshin would be the sexy Battousai a lot more…though the plot line and the original characters are mine.

Divorce.

The word rang through his head as Hikaru bowed her head. Her shoulders shook as she cried on his shoulder telling him how her parents were getting divorced after twenty years of marriage. She mumbled that they always seemed to be happy and this had come out of the blue.

Divorce.

How long had his parents been divorced? His uncle had told him that no one saw it coming. One day they had a fight and the next thing they knew his dad was moving out permanently. Soon after that they had filed for divorce and that was then end of it.

Divorce.

Now he was being bounced back in forth, though he spent most of his time with his mother since that was were his friends were and where he went to school. Then during the summer he would go to his father's home for a few weeks before returning home.

Divorce.

He was use to his parents not being together, but what confused him is that they still seemed to be in love with each other. Even when his mother went out on a date, he never met her dates, he knew they wouldn't last long. In his mother's mind they never compared to his father.

Divorce.

Once he asked his Uncle why they had broken it off, but he shrugged and told him no one knew. His mother and father were one of the ones who everyone thought would make it.

Divorce.

He didn't know why, but he blamed his father for it. In his eyes it was him who started the chain reaction that he broken his mother's heart by moving out he had left them. He had been five at that point and his family had already dispersed, and he blamed his father.

Divorce.

He blamed Kenshin Himura.

A/N: Yeah extremely short, but hey I like it. Yep, Kaoru and Kenshin got divorced when Kenji was a little 'un. Yes, I plan to hook Kaoru and Kenshin up, but then again if I get a lot of people wanting me to hook her up with other people I just might.

Side note- Hikaru is an OC and she will stay through the story.

I hope you enjoyed the beginning I promise the other chapters will be longer than this just review and I'll be compelled to write more!
