Kaoru woke up from her heavenly sleep. She turned to her other side of her futon and noticed she was alone.

"Kenshin?" Kaoru said sitting up. Her raven-haired fell to her chest. She then smelled the scent of breakfast cooking. Kenshin was already making breakfast. Kaoru closed her eyes and smiled at the though of her lovely husband that she had been married to for four years.

Her life seemed so empty before she met him that fateful day.

"Ohayou gazaimasu daddy!" Kaoru heard coming from the kitchen and then, there was Kenji, her three years old son. He looked to be like a chibi version of her husband except his hair only reached two inches under his ear, and he didn't possessed the cross scar, but he still had those lavender eyes and cute smile.

Kaoru arose from her futon and dressed into her kimono. It was a light and darkish green with pink sakura petal floating around near the hem, as her obi was black. She put her hair up into a green ribbon and smoothed out her kimono.

She opened the shoji door and walked to the kitchen finding Kenshin, Kenji, Sanosuke, and Yahiko already starting on breakfast.

"Ohayou Kaoru," Kenshin said sweetly, smiling. Kaoru smiled back and sat between Kenshin and Kenji.

"Ohayou mommy!" Little Kenji exclaimed giving her a tight hug. Kaoru hugged back and kissed her son's forehead.

"Ohayou Kenji-dear," Kaoru replied.

"Careful Kenji!" fifteen years old Yahiko said, "You might get coodies from her! Hehe!" Yahiko smirked.

"Cooties? What's that uncle Yahiko?" Kenji asked.

"It's a disease that you get from girls!" Yahiko thrust his arms open scaring Kenji. Kenji's eyes started to tear up.

"Kenji!" Kaoru said hugging her son. She stroked his back as he cried in her arms. Kaoru glared daggers at Yahiko. She looked pissed. No one DARED to frighten her son! "YAHIKO!" Kaoru exclaimed. "If you scare him like that ONE more time! I'll-"

"Maa maa, Kaoru. You shouldn't speak like that around Kenji," Kenshin butted in. Kaoru looked at him then stared at Yahiko and smirked.

"Yahiko, may I speak to you outside?" she asked, standing up, walking to the door.

"Ummmm………no…" Yahiko said.

"You WILL come, Yahiko!" Kaoru said dragging Yahiko by the collar of his yukata and leading him outside. She closed the door and there was silence in the room as Kenji, Sanosuke, and Kenshin waited to what was happening. "YOU LITTLE BRAT!"

"I'M NOT-"

WHACK! WHACK! WHACK!

"OW! JEEZES, BUSU!" Yahiko exclaimed.

WHACK!

"Call me busu again! I dare you!"

"…"

Kenshin, Kenji, and Sanosuke just stared at the door waiting to see what would happen next, but there was nothing.

Suddenly the two came back in, Kaoru was behind Yahiko who was rubbing his head.

"Alright!" Yahiko said. He then turned to Kenji, "Cooties aren't real I made them up," He mumbled.

"Sit!" Kaoru ordered, pushing Yahiko back to his seat. She laid her shinai behind her as she sat back down between Kenshin and Kenji.

"Jeez, Jou-chan! You still got the moves even after you gave birth to Kenji!" Sanosuke said placing his food bowl down.

Kaoru just crossed her arms and ignored Sanosuke.

"What happened to uncle Yahiko, mommy?" Kenji said looking at Yahiko's bruises. "We just had a talk, dear," Kaoru replied while Kenji blinked a few times.

Breakfast was done and Sanosuke ran off somewhere as so with Yahiko.

"Kaoru, I need to pick up some groceries today," Kenshin said as Kaoru handed him the dishes to clean.

"Okay why don't Kenji and I join you?" Kaoru asked sweetly. Kenshin smiled back in response. Behind them Kenji came into the kitchen with a bowl in his hands. He tugged on his mother's kimono wanting her attention.

"Hm? Hai, Kenji?" Kaoru asked looking down at her red headed son.Kenji handed up his empty bowl smiling.

"Here!" he said in his childish voice. Kaoru smiled as she bent down to her knees gently grabbing the bowl out of his hands.

"Arigatou, Kenji," Kaoru smiled.

OoOoOoOoOoO By noon Kenshin, Kaoru, and Kenji were already in town.

"Look!" little Kenji exclaimed pointing to a small food stand.

"Kenshin I'll meet you at the Akabeko for lunch in a few minutes. It seems Kenji wants something," Kaoru said.

"All right Kaoru," Kenshin said giving Kaoru a kiss on the cheek. Kenji pulled Kaoru over to the stand pointing to an apple, "Mommy! I want that!" Kenji said excitedly.

"All right, Kenji," Kaoru said paying the man behind the stand. The man handed Kaoru the red apple. "Here Kenj-" Kaoru stopped as she noticed Kenji wasn't next to her anymore. Kaoru dropped the apple and looked around. "Kenji!" Kaoru called as she turned around.She looked down a small alley and saw Kenji there in front of another small stand.

"Kenji!" Kaoru yelled, running over to her son. She knelt in front of him and hugged him tightly. "Don't scare me like that!" she said. Kenji looked at his mother.

"Gomen nasai, mommy," Kenji apologized. Kaoru smiled as she wiped a tear from her eye. She then stood up and noticed an old lady behind the stand in rags that covered her whole face except for her eyes.

"I'm sry, ma'am," Kaoru said

"Nonsense, child," the old lady spoke in response, "You seem like a very responsible mother. You're a kind, sweet, energetic, responsible mother that takes good care of her family," the old lady said.

"Umm thank you?" Kaoru said she wasn't sure if that was an insult or a compliment by the way the lady said it.

"You seem locked up in your body and mind. You can never live freely or do whatever you wished to do," the old lady added. Kaoru's eyes widened.

"What're you talking about? I'm happy the way I am! I have a beautiful son and a wonderful husband!" Kaoru began to get ticked from the old lady's comments.

"Are you sure about that? I can free your mind and you explore the world around you," the old lady said.

"W-what?" she said. Kaoru got in front of Kenji shielding him from the mysterious lady. Kenji suddenly became frightened and ran away. "Kenji!" Kaoru yelled as she ran after him, but she stopped suddenly. She couldn't move her whole body froze.

What's going on? I...can't move!

"Free your mind! Free your soul! Forget your life and explore what you could not acheive!" the old lady loudly said as she zapped Kaoru with a spell that flew out of the old lady's hands and into Kaoru.

This isn't...happen... ing...

Kaoru took one last look around her as she fell to the ground unconscious.
