"There's nothing to thank me for I don't need my head to tell me to save you my heart had already done it" he didn't know what to say, because that's how he felt he wouldn't let anything happen to her or his children even if it would cost him his life.

"Kenshin?"

Her response from his was his eyes locked on her and him blinking twice "Can you stay with me I mean if you don't mind" he felt like jumping for joy, but played it off cool

"Do you even have to ask?" he pulled the chair close to her bed his hand next to hers within a couple of minutes she was asleep with her head on his arm

'I'll protect you forever and always' he thought before he finally fell asleep.

Bankotsu walked by and saw them he could only smile maybe things were looking up it had been at least a week since his mom had been at the hospital, but now she was home and recovering.

Kikyo was upstairs in her room she hadn't forgotten her memory which wasn't unheard of, but still weird she was in deep though until a knock at the door interrupted those thoughts

"Hey Kiki" Bankotsu said laying down on her bed

"Hey" came the sour reply

"Okay what's up?"

"Nothing, but the real question is what's up between you and Kagura" his face turned red with a blush

"Huh what you talking about?"

'Yeah you know you should call her right?"

"Why? I mean I want to, but..

"Ha! So there is something going on!" she smiled with triumph

"Okay you got me"

"You like her don't you?"

"Well yeah how can I not?"

"Well buddy call her then I'm sure she wants to hear and you voice and make sure your fine" he removed himself from the bed getting the phone ready to dial her number when he paused and looked at his little sister.

"What?" she said uneasy he only stared at her

"Oh, well Ban you have nothing to worry about I'm okay your acting as though I'm going to kill myself, but too late since I'm already dead heh heh" he giggled while his eyes turned the color of anger

"That's not funny Kikyo" Bankotsu reminded her

"Yeah I'm sorry well go call her" he dialed her number when a knock cam at the door he opened it only to see Kagura

"Hey" he said

"Hi" there was a bit of an awkward silence

Come in Kagura came in as he closed the door behind her

Kagura was coming over to apologize about her behavior she was coming way to strong and she was sure he didn't like girls like that

"I wanted to/ Can I..." they both laughed

"You go first"

"I wanted to say sorry for coming on so strong I know you don't like girls that are like that and I wanted to say sorry before you started avoiding me she got up to quickly leave she could already tell that by the look on his face she had made a fool of herself.

He grabbed her hand she blushed he turned her towards him, but her head was down

"Kagura?" he said softly

"Huh?" she still wouldn't look at him he put a finger under her chin so that they were now looking at each other

"There's no need to say apologize

"But I…"

"You've helped through the roughest time of my life so there's nothing to be sorry for she smiled

"But can you help me with one last rough thing?"

"Yeah sure what is it?"

"Will you go out on a date with me tomorrow?" he looked at her face scared for a few seconds when she smiled he had hope

"Yes" she said wrapping her arms around his neck in a hug as he returned the embrace

'Great all I have to do is figure out where the date is going to be'

'I hope you have a masterful plan my friend' Kikyo thought
