Disclaimer: This is getting really, VERY tiring. I do not
Own Rurouni Kenshin.
Everyday this week will be a new chapter. I promise since I didn't update for 2 weeks until yesterday anyway. So here you go. Oh, and this chapter will have longer paragraphs in it!

*Why doesn't he remember? I can't BELIEVE he doesn't remember! That fat headed baka of a rurouni . . . * Kaoru thought angrily. That night, she couldn't sleep at all. She was too annoyed. Rudiko had began making moves on HER man. (yes, her man, not all of you obsessed women out there). Here she had welcomed her into her dojo openly and now this stranger was trying to take Kenshin away from her. All of her life could be destroyed right now if Kenshin were to give in to Rudiko's seductive ways. Thinking this, Kaoru mentally slapped herself over her head for thinking that Kenshin ever leave her and their unborn child.
*You should know better than that Kaoru no baka! * she told herself. *Kenshin would never leave you! If he had planned to, than he wouldn't have made love to you in the first place! I mean, come on, seriously, this is Kenshin we're talking about! He's way to lovable and committed to you. You can't even go to the bathroom by yourself without him waiting outside for you! *
Kaoru giggled at this thought and laid down to get some sleep. Before she fell asleep, she peeped over at her lover, sleeping soundly next to her. His lips were slightly open and his breathing was soft. His red locks fell over his face, covering up his left eye. And his scar. Careful not to wake Kenshin, Kaoru reached over and moved his hair out of the way so she could see the scar. He told her how he had gotten his scar, about how he lost Tomoe. She traced the horizontal slash, the one he had gotten before he met his first wife. Then, slowly traced the one left by his first lover. The mark that would forever remind him about the tragedy of how she died. A tear rolled down her cheek, a tear that held sorrow for her mate. Kaoru could never understand how painful it is for Kenshin to live with killing all those people, especially one closest to his heart.
She saw Kenshin's eyelids flutter but stay shut. Deciding she should just let him rest, Kaoru pulled the blankets over both of them, cuddle up next to Kenshin and went to sleep, wondering what he was dreaming about.
*Kenshin's Dream ****************************************************************
" Kenshin . . ."
"Who is that?"
"We were meant for each other . . ."
"Who are you? What do you mean, we were meant for each other?"
"Don't try and deny it . . ."
"Deny what? Where are you?"
"You know you love me . . ."
"I'll determine that for myself once you tell me who you are?"
Suddenly, out of the darkness, he saw Kaoru. A ray of light coming out of the darkness surrounded her perfect figure. He gazed into her beautiful sapphire eyes.
"Kaoru?"
"Kenshin, I-"
Before she could say anything, the shadows surrounding them began to over turn the light. Slowly, Kaoru was cast away in darkness.
"Kaoru!" Kenshin, yelled running towards her.
Before she disappeared, she reached her hand out through the darkness.
"Aishiteru, Kenshin." She muttered before she was engulfed in darkness.
"Kaoru!" was all he could manage. He quickly ran to where Kaoru used to be standing. He glanced around desperately, hoping to see some sign of her existence.
"Kaoru . . . NO!" he yelled. He closed his eyes and began to sob. First Tomoe . . . now Kaoru! No, I can't deal with it! I can't! I want her back! I want her back NOW! GIVE HER BACK TO ME!
He slowly opened his eyes to be surrounded by a warm light. He looked around, hoping that this light would help him spot his lover.
"The darkness that took her . . . will take you as well . . ." said a mysterious voice.
"Huh?" he said out loud.
"The more light you have . . ." it said, as the light around the rurouni increased, " the bigger your shadow will become . . ."
He was confused at first, but then looked behind him. His shadow had grown so large, it was bigger than the dojo. Suddenly, the shadow rose out of the floor, and detached itself from Kenshin. It stood on it's own, peering at Kenshin with two holes in it's face, to replace it's eyes. He began to back up, but he couldn't go far.
"The shadow is all around you. You cannot escape."
A pool of darkness opened under Kenshin and slowly began pulling him under. He desperately tried to get away from it, but the more he struggled, the more he sank into the darkness's clutches.
"In your home . . ." the voice continued, as Kenshin continued to try to escape, " in your life . . . in control of your distruction . . ."
*End **************************************************************************** **
Kenshin sat up in a cold sweat, breathing abnormally hard. He quickly checked himself, to make sure all him was still there. Then he looked around to room to see Kaoru sleeping soundly next to him. Still breathing hard, he slowly looked around the room, trying to relax.
*In my home . . . my life . . . my destruction . . . * he repeated to himself. * Could it possibly be talking about . . . Rudiko?*
"Kenshin? Kenshin, what's the matter?" a soft voice next to him asked. He looked down to see Kaoru looking at him with sleepy eyes. Without hesitation, Kenshin began running his hands down her body to make sure she was still one piece. He inspected every part of her, especially her stomach.
"What in Kami's name?! Kenshin, what are you- Kenshin! Don't touch me there!"
Kenshin quickly looked deep into Kaoru's eyes, his hand placed on her stomach.
"Kaoru, are you alright?" he asked, still regaining some of his breath.
"I will be when you stop applying pressure to my pregnant belly!" she gasped. He looked confused but then realized that he was leaning almost all his weight on her filled up stomach.
"ORO! Please forgive me koishii!" he cried, quickly removing his hands.
"Kenshin . . . is something wrong? You look awful!" she asked, worried.
"Hm? Of, nothing, nothings wrong! I'm fine!"
"Ok . . ." she said before laying down to go back to sleep. As soon as she was asleep, Kenshin laid his arm around her waist, placing a protective hand across her stomach.
*What did that dream mean? I know it was just a dream, but that wasn't a normal dream. I feel like it was . . . trying to tell me something . . . But what could it possibly want? * he asked himself. He buried his face into Kaoru's hair and heaved a sigh. * Could it be . . . that something's going to happen to her? If anything happens to Kaoru, I . . . I don't know what I would do . . . I can't even imagine my life without her . . . * Without a second thought towards the strange fenominun, Kenshin fell asleep.

Okay, I may make the next chapter about what Kaoru's dreaming about since I'm having a brain fart and can't think of anything else to write about. If you have any ideas, they would be much appreciated! Or tell me if the Kaoru dream would be enough? Well, thanks! Until next chapter!
