Danger In The Night
Days went by and Kaoru never woke up. Kenshin practically gave up and he fell into a deep sleep by her side on the fifth day and without realizing it he entered into Kaoru's dream but he couldn't control himself and over and over he was killed by a red eyed Kaoru 'what do these dreams mean..hey how come I can't wake?!?!
He had no idea that he was witnessing the battle taking place in Kaoru's mind. Kenshin called out to Battousai in his mind but got no response from him.
'hey!!BATTOUSAI!!!damn! WHERE ARE YOU?!!how long will i stay here?...this is not good' Meanwhile the Battousai part of his mind was trying to wake him up
'Rurouni...Rurouni...RUROUNI!! damn it wake up Rurouni!!!!!!!!.....hello?!?! are YOU AWAKE!! damn...i can't wake him this is not good...'just then Yahiko walked into the room to see if he could get Kenshin's mind off Kaoru when he was greeted with the sight of Kenshin slumped against the wall. He padded towards Kenshin.
"hey Kenshin? Kenshin? Kenshin....?"Yahiko gently nudged Kenshin and screamed his lungs out when Kenshins body fell over.
"MEGUMI SANO!!HURRY!"
'Oww that kid can scream! Boy am i glad that he's not a girl..'Battousai thought Megumi and Sano appeared in the door way.
"What the hell happened here?!"Sano asked
"I thought something bad must have happened when you screamed!"Megumi exclaimed then looked past the frightened boy to see Kenshin on his side
"Yahiko what wrong?"
"It's Kenshin he won't wake up! I poked him and he just fell to the floor his whole body is limp like a over cooked noodle!!"
"There's nothing to fear Yahiko..he's Ok..he must have fallen asleep..he may not wake for days though...he shows no signs of waking any time soon"
"And what about Kaoru? Any signs?"Yahiko asked hopeful, even though it seemed as though he hated her he really looked up to his sensei and he really missed her right now. Megumi shook her head.
"I'm afraid not Yahiko..no signs of waking from either of them...lets hope that they wake up soon."
"we should move Kenshin unless we want to hear Jou-chan scream bloody murder like Yahiko did..except louder"
"Your right Sano..we should"Yahiko replied ignoring Sano's statement then shook his head
"Thing is, Kenshin locks his door and the closest place were we could move him is the dojo"
"Well then what are we waiting for?!? It to rain mushu pork!? Lets move him!"Sano and Yahiko moved Kenshin's limp body to the dojo not realizing that someone was watching from the shadows waiting to strike. The mysterious shadow waited till the others left. The figure then procceded to hop over the fence skillfully then walked to the opened the door and silently padded to Kenshin's unconscious body on the ground. Meanwhile Kaoru's dream finally stopped repeating and her former Hitokiri self decided it was enough..suddenly the Hitokiri side of Kaoru sensed an intruder in the dojo however the presence was familiar but she could feel the ki had the intent to kill and it was moving toward a more familiar ki, Kenshin's, which was strangely dull and realized that he was in the dream and couldn't defend himself Hitokiri moved to Kaoru and whispered in her ear.
'Look I know it hard for you to accept, but I NEED to come back all your friends are in danger if I don' t! Kenshin is unconscious and is stuck in this dream too....I'm sorry but I won't let him or Battousai get killed because of me' And with that the Hitokiri side vanish only to reawaken in Kaoru's sleeping body.
Back at Kenshin's unconscious body Battousai was yelling his lungs off
'BAKA!!! WAKE UP UNLESS YOU WANT BOTH OF US TO DIE!!! RUROUNI!!!' He, the great assassin Battousai, was scared shitless because the shadow looming over them had a huge ki filled with the intent to kill and right now he couldn't defend himself being the body was in control of the Rurouni side and he couldn't take forced control being that not only was it hard, it hurt both of them. Meanwhile Kaoru was awake, finally, and in one swift motion she grabbed both her family's sword, a reversed edge sword/sakabatou, and the katana she used long ago and kept hidden. As she ran she was greatful that she was still in her white gi and blue hakama pants and her breast bindings were still in place. She knew Kenshin was still sleeping and couldn't wake yet. She hurried to the dojo and got there in time. Just then it started to rain outside.
"Hey!Step away from him Mayumi! UNLESS YOU WANT TO GET HURT!"
"Ah good..I was hoping that you would come soon, Kaoru!" The figure stood up and pulled off the cloak that hid her from sight revealing a young woman about Kaoru's age, with flowing fiery red hair held in a ponytail like Kaoru. She was clothed a little differently, she was wearing a emerald green gi and hakama. her green eyes show loathing and utter hatred towards Kaoru she only had a katana hanging by the band that held up her hakama.
"It's been awhile..Mayumi..how long? About 5-6 years since I left the Sensei to join the war?"Kaoru smirked at a few questions that just popped into her head that she knew would irritate Mayumi
"What took you so long to find me?"
'What the HELL are you doing!!! Are you TRYING to kill us both! She looks freaking strong! Never pick a fight with people stronger that you! Let Kenshin deal with them! Err well her in this case Yeah but Kenshin not only still unconscious, He can't move. Can't you sense she put a crouch spell on him like jin-ie put on you?!...Yeah but this one isn't restricting his air flows so it slightly different..it's weak... oh! She was using him to get to us!....Yeah oh is right! Now if you excuse me I am not getting us killed I'm stalling for time..And from the looks of it your failing! I better be alive by the end of this! Yeah yeah alright!'
"Yuka kept getting in my way saying that Sensei wouldn't want us fighting..of course she's still alive but she's helping villages know me...I always bring bad luck wherever I go!"
"Do you still believe that killing me because I killed a lot of people back then is the right thing to do?l"
"Shut up! I will atone for the death I am about to cause!" Mayumi moved quickly and pulled out her katana nearly slicing Kaoru in half if Kaoru didn't dodge. She went by Mayumi catching her side with her reversed edge sword and slicing the fabric of her gi and hakama pants. Soon Kenshin regained consciousness and looked to the side towards the noise
'About time Baka Rurouni! Kaoru is fighting someone named Mayumi. It appears they studied that lost kendo art that they are both using, together plus another who tried to stop Mayumi... Kaoru's fighting? Well it looks a lot like Kaoru but she isn't her self. She's carrying a katana and a reversed edge sword plus can you feel that ki?..yeah..I don't sense hers though are you sure it's Kaoru fighting and not a look-alike....I'm positive! The stronger ki is Kaoru..well what is Kaoru..' Kenshin looked at Kaoru who had quite a few wounds and he noticed she wasn't using a katana which she had at her lighting flashed and revealed that it wasn't the sapphire eyed Kaoru that had let him stay at her dojo but the red eyed Kaoru that killed him constantly in his dreams...the DREAM! It wasn't his it was Kaoru's!
'So that means that in the past..who's or what past rurouni?...Did they say how long ago was the last time they saw each other...5-6 years since Kaoru left their Sensei...Which means she was only 13.....' Kenshin's thought were shattered by the sound of feet pounding towards them.. from the sound of it three people were headed to them soon the door was thrown open and three people stared at the scene before them.
"Sano! Yahiko! Megumi get out of here!"Kenshin yells to the three staring figures.
"Kenshin! your..KAORU!!"They all look happy that both of their friends were up then stop when they sense somethings wrong with Kaoru being as Kenshin wasn't being formal and kept staring at Kaoru and from the looks of it he couldn't move. They all gasp when lighting reveals to them that Kaoru was defiantly not herself. A cry of pain is heard shattering their thoughts and they realized that none of them could move. They watched in horror as Kaoru's gi went from white to red with her own blood. She was on her knees tired from exerting so much energy. Mayumi was smirking having only her clothes damaged and a little tired.
"Why won't you draw your katana?"Mayumi said in a mocking tone. Kaoru narrowed her eyes and pulled it out. She threw it down into the floor boards vaulting herself into the rafters of the dojo.
"I won't fall for..."She suddenly felt dizzy from blood loss and fell from the rafters. She hit the ground hard and her ki flared up to an immense level. everyone's eyes widened as she got up and grabbed the hilt of her katana acting even more different. Kenshin could only watch as she changed to her old hitokiri self. They all gasped as her pupils turned to slits. Suddenly Mayumi was covered in cuts all over but none were deadly. Mayumi gasped at the sight of blood on the edge of Kaoru's katana
"H-how?! Y-Y-You didn't move!"Mayumi stuttered suddenly scared for her life.
Kaoru took a threatening step towards Mayumi and chased her out into the rain.
