want to thank all of you for supporting me through this, I don't have a lot
of time left. Why am I saying that anyway? Hmmm. ^_^ Haha I can be pretty
weird sometimes so just sit back and enjoy okay?
Chapter three: All or not
"Aoshi help!!!! She's not breathing, KAORU'S NOT BREATHING!!!" Kenshin felt his heart stop. 'Oh god no....NO!!!' Kenshin rushed madly down the hallway and into the room. His eyes grew wide with horror when he took on Kaoru's condition. There were deep open gashes all over her body and they were bleeding quite freely. Her eyes were shut and her mouth hung open just a bit. Blood dripped from there too. 'Who could've done this?'
"There's no pulse! What do we do?!" Misao wailed. "Push down on her chest hard!" Aoshi instructed. Misao did as she was instructed for who knows how long with Kenshin sitting next to Kaoru gripping her hand. 'Come on Kaoru, breathe! Don't leave me please. Don't leave me alone...I need you....' "It's no use.." Misao sobbed. "She's dead.." Kenshin's heart constricted. 'No....Kaoru!!!!!'
Kenshin jerked up suddenly. "W-where am I?"
"Bout time you woke up," Soujiro said shaking his head. "You've been out for three hours now." Kenshin looked around. "Wha-what was going on? Where's Kaoru and Misao?!" he asked frantically. Soujiro seemed confused. "What are you talking about? You were passed out on the ground when I found you, that's all." Kenshin looked at him. 'So it was a dream....thank god.....' Soujiro stood up. "You know, you've been searching for a long time you know, why don't you go home and rest?" Kenshin thought for a moment. 'Well...I suppose I should go back for a little bit.' "Alright I'll go, arigatou for everything," Kenshin said stepping out the door. "Soujiro nodded. "Don't mention it." Kenshin continued on his way home. 'Kaoru, please be alright....'

"Kaoru what happened, you can see no!!!" Misao asked when she regained consciousness. Kaoru's eyes fluttered open. "Wh-What? Where am I?" she asked sitting up. She looked around to see Misao looking at her with a surprised expression. "Misao-chan?"
"K-Kaoru, your eyes!!!" she said gazing into them. "Why are they so red????" Now she remembered. "Oh, that. I don't remember much, all I remember was fighting Yashiitomo and when he said something about killing you all I snapped. Then the cops came and he ran off but he said my eyes were that of a demon and he ran. He's called me a demon ever since." Misao gasped. "D-Demon?!" Kaoru looked at her through her no longer blue but bright fiery red eyes. "Hai, I'm sorry if they scare you."
"No, it's just it reminds me of something Okina told me," Misao said. "Something about red eyes."

"Oi fox help!!!!!!" Sano screamed. "Get this kid off my head!!!!!!!"
"I TOLD YOU ALREADY I AIN'T A KID!!!!!" Yahiko yelled again pulling his hair. Megumi shook her head. "You two don't ever give it a rest do you? Although this IS amusing.," she smirked. "Hey that's not funny!" Sano whined. "It hurts!" Megumi laughed. "Just knock it off already and let's go inside, I've made dinner." That got there attention. "You guys are such pigs, come on in already and DON'T SIT ON ME!!" she said particularly to Sano who just grumbled and followed them in.
****************************************************
"What about my eyes?" Kaoru asked. Misao scratched her head. "Well, it's hard to remember. It was something he told me about genetic DNA. Every few centuries someone is genetically born with a certain DNA."
"What do you mean?" Kaoru asked. Misao continued. "Well, I'm talking about some people who end up having a small fraction of demon blood in them. Anyone can tell who has the demon blood....because their eyes are bright red." Kaoru gasped. "You mean....I'm part demon?!"
"It's the only thing that explains why your blood is much darker than a normal human. You never noticed it unless you are wounded badly like when you showed up here. Plus you managed to survive such fatal wounds, not to mention that gunshot. Remember?" Misao explained. Kaoru thought. "Come to think of it, I shouldn't have been able to survive that kind of thing huh?" Misao nodded again. "You are stronger at times than you should be too you know, there's only one thing you don't possess that a demon does because you're not a full one."
"What would that be?" Kaoru asked. "Immortality," she answered. "Oh yeah," Kaoru said. That, but I wouldn't want to be immortal anyway," she sighed. "That wouldn't be fun at all." Misao thought for a minute and she had to agree. I mean, once all your loved ones die what is there left? "You're right." Kaoru looked at her crimson eyes through the reflection of the water in the wood basin used to clean her wounds. "Although I don't know why they never showed until now."
"It's probably because you've never unleashed it, but now that you have it now shows," Misao answered. Kaoru sighed. "How can Kenshin even love me, when I'm a monster?" Misao stared in amazement. "What are you talking about you aren't a monster! Just because you have SOME demon in you does not mean you aren't human too! Don't say that about yourself!"
"Yes but suppose I lose it? I remember that anyone who does have demonic power and blood could be overwhelmed by it and he could get hurt," Kaoru said tears coming from her red eyes. "The last thing I want to do is hurt him." Misao rested a hand on her shoulder. "Don't worry Kaoru-chan, Himura loves you none the less. Knowing him he couldn't care less." Kaoru smiled. "Yeah, that's Kenshin for ya." Unknown to them Aoshi had been eavesdropping on the whole conversation. 'I thought I sensed something in her ki...'
"So what are you going to do?" Misao asked.
"I don't know what to do about this," she said. "I shouldn't lie to him so I guess I should tell him, but he probably wouldn't love me then. Who would love a demon?" Misao grumbled again. "I told you!!! You know it!!!! He loves you!!!!"
"I just don't want to see him hurt," Kaoru said. "I love him, and I wouldn't be able to bear it if something happened to him. And what about my strength. I'm dangerous to be around." Then it sparked to her. "Tell Kenshin that I'm okay if he comes home, I have to go look for Yashiitomo."
"NANI?! But you just got here!!!! At least let Himura see you he's been looking for you all day!" Kaoru smiled. 'Well...I suppose it wouldn't hurt. I wouldn't want all his hard work wasted.' "Okay," she finally surrendered. "It wouldn't hurt, besides, I've missed him."
******************************************************
That's all for now. I suppose I am a total freak for making her like this right? Yes it's stupid but I couldn't resist so please forgive me! Waterflash, this was for you! Thanks so much! And thank you everyone else for your reviews!
