Disclaimer: I wish I owned Rurouni Kenshin. But, alas, I do not.
Hey you guys! I need your opinion. I plan on making a continuation on this but I don't wanna make it have to do with Kenshin and Kaoru. I want to try a Tsubame and Yahiko continuation. It'll be 'She's mine!' fanfic thingy. Anyway, tell me what you think!
_
The next morning turned out to normal. Kenshin sought to it that Rudiko would not hang around him at all. Instead, he spent his time with Kaoru. He made sure she was never alone all day. Even though he knew he would regret it, he even let Kaoru help prepare lunch for everyone. Yahiko and Sano actually said it tasted good too. Of course, the couple didn't tell them Kaoru made it until after they ate. Their faces turned beet red with embarrassment and they left to go gamble.
Naturally, Kaoru enjoyed Kenshin's company. Every time Rudiko asked him if she could help him with something, Kenshin told her that Kaoru had already asked. This made Rudiko upset and she wondered around the dojo all day. Kaoru always smiled in Rudiko's face when Kenshin wasn't looking and when Kaoru wasn't looking, Rudiko glared at her like no tomorrow.
Since Rudiko hadn't done anything in the past few days except for crowd around Kenshin, she just slummed around the dojo. Every time she saw Kenshin and Kaoru together, she began to burn with anger. She could never tell anyone why she was doing this to them. Nor did she want to for that matter. It was her business and no one else's.
_
*Today has been wonderful! * Kaoru implied to herself, * Rudiko has yet to have a full conversation with Kenshin because he was to busy hanging around me! Take that Rudiko! * She was once more sitting outside on the porch, gazing up at the stars.
"Kaoru, may I sit with you?" a gentle voice behind her asked. She didn't even have to turn around to know who it was.
"Of course. I would like that very much," she replied, not turning around to face him. Kenshin crept up beside Kaoru and took a sit next to her. Kaoru closed her eyes and smiled softly. She could feel Kenshin's intiment gaze on her and she was rather enjoying the feeling. When she felt a warm stream of air hit her cheek she cracked open her eye and saw Kenshin's face an inch away from hers. It sort of scared her half to death and let out a tiny gasp followed by an intent giggle. Kenshin then leaned in more and kissed her lightly. Kaoru smiled against his lips and, like before, began to slowly pull away.
Kenshin wrapped his arms around her so she couldn't crawl away this time. Their kiss became more intense, the passion growing. Not far away, Rudiko was standing nearby, watching them closely. Rudiko began grow red with intense fury.
*Why can't I have anything like that? * she asked. Suddenly, a picture of her first boyfriend came into her mind. His long brown hair was pulled back into a low ponytail. His eyes were always full of joy and he could make her laugh whenever she needed him to. He was always there for her and he never left . . . until a few days ago anyway.
About three weeks before she came to stay with Kenshin and Kaoru, Shawn, her koishii, was diagnosed with calrhea. The doctor said he couldn't treat him with anything and he would only live for a few weeks before he would pass away. Rudiko was torn between mixed emotions. Hatred for the cursed disease and the doctor for not being able to treat him; sadness for the loss of her only love.
A few days before she meant Kenshin and Kaoru, Shawn passed away. Rudiko could no longer stay at her old home and tend to herself. Everywhere she went in that place reminded her of Shawn until she knew she had to leave. She just couldn't stay there anymore. So, she did want any normal person would do. She packed her things and some of Shawn's and left.
While she was wondering around, she saw Kenshin at the market place buying some fish. He reminded her so much of Shawn. His long hair and his eyes. Of course, Shawn's hair was brown and his eyes were a dark blue, but just the same, that's who Kenshin reminded her of. She asked around town, wondering where that man lived. When she was told he stayed with Kamiya Kaoru, she immediately went in search of the dojo. She just figured that Kaoru was his sister or some other relative but she never counted on her being the mother of his unborn child.
The news hit her so hard, it put a hole through her heart. She thought maybe she could get Shawn back in another person. But when she found out he was taken by Kaoru, Rudiko did everything she could do to possibly break them up. However, their love each other was strong . . . stronger than what anyone could ever imagine.
A tear began to slide down her cheek at the memory of Shawn. She let out a little muffled sound soft enough so that the couple that was engaged in lip locking and shoving their tongues down each others throat didn't here her.
She saw him smile. His smile could light up a pitch dark room in less than a second. The smile that always made her worries disappeared. Shawn had the ability to do that. No matter what kind of situation or perdicament she was in, he was always able to make it go away. Just by smiling and Kenshin could do the same for Kaoru.
And his eyes showed every bit of emotion that they held. He could never really lie all that well. Neither can Kenshin.
Not to mention his wasn't a bad fighter. Although Kenshin used a sword, Shawn used a dagger. He was the best their was in Kyoto. No one could beat him if they tried. He had been challenged many times by others but they've all fallen in battle to him.
When Rudiko looked up, Kenshin and Kaoru were gone. She hadn't seen them when they went in, neither did she care. Rudiko wanted to know why everything good in her life was already taken from her. Or was being planned on being taken away. With that last thought, she fell asleep on the ground.
*Rudiko's Dream *************************************************************
"Rudiko . . ."
"Ungh . . . .uh?"
"Rudiko . . . wake up . . ."
"Huh? Wha! Who is there?"
"Rudiko . . . it's me, Shawn"
"Shawn? What're you. . .?"
"I'm here to help you Rudiko."
"Help me how? You're gone. Kami-sama took you away from me!"
"No, Rudy, it was fate. Fate led me down the path of death, not the Almighty."
"But . . . how can you help me?"
"Rudiko . . . you must leave the Kamiya dojo. Leave Kenshin and Kaoru be."
"But Kenshin . . . he reminds me so much of you! If I had him around, then-"
"Then you would never get over my death Rudy."
"I . . . I can't. I've tried and it's not working."
"Kenshin and Kaoru have enough problems already. They don't need you to be added into that pile."
"But . . . they remind me to much of us! I can't leave knowing that their still together! I must . . ."
"You must leave. You remember the happiness that we had together in the past? Well, Kenshin and Kaoru have that same love for each other. You wouldn't really like it if our love was pulled apart like what you're trying to do to them, would you?"
"Rethink that question, Shawn."
". . . Oh, alright. Our love has been pulled away since I died, but we still love one another even though we can't be together. Don't tear their love apart, Rudiko. I beg of you, just let them be alone."
"I can't . . . I just can't let go . . ."
"You must try . . . for their sakes as well as your's . . ."
The last thing Rudiko saw was Shawn's face and lily petals floating by before the imagine faded away.
*End ************************************************************************
Rudiko opened her eyes and saw that all the lights in the dojo were out. She looked up in the sky only to find it covered underneath dark clouds. The moonlight barely shown through the pillows of presperation.
A soft breeze passed by, letting Rudiko's hair fly behind her gently. Rudiko closed her eyes and remebered her dream. Every exact word that was said to her and every word said to Shawn.
*Now I understand . . . * she thought to herself, her eyes still closed, *He was telling me that good things in life don't always stay. I can't waste it whining over something I don't have but someone else does. Tomorrow, I will live, just as you had asked me to Shawn. * With that thought still in her mind, Rudiko stood up and went inside the dojo into her room.
She had just changed into her yukata and had blown out the candle before she heard something.
"Good for you Rudiko . . ."
She searched around the room, thinking maybe it was just in her head, but in reality, it was just her lover's thank you.

Half you guys are going to murder me cause I made it sound like she was going to die. Tough luck. Anyway, tell me what you think about the contiuation I want to do with this story. Remember, I want it to be a Tsubame/Yahiko one! Until tomorrow! Tambien por favor realidad! (It's Spainish . . .)
