Hi! Long time no see ne? I want to explain why I haven't been around and
updating. You see I did terrible on my last history test and my parents
have grounded me for two months. JUST BECAUSE OF ONE TEST! IT WAS ONLY
WORTH 24 POINTS TOO!!!! I got 10/24. So I get up really early and spend the
rest of the night typing. But I can't get much done all the time. So I'm
very sorry for the inconvenience. Waterflash, I miss you a lot. I'm a
little embarrassed because I started crying one night because I wanted to
talk to you so badly; something bad happened. Why am I saying this? I miss
all of you. I'm sorry if this confused you and made no sense...I guess
that's what I get when I work on it all night, and I suppose I shouldn't
have typed this thing right after that accident I had. ^^; Thanks Brittany
for the review, I was very flattered. ^_^

Chapter ten: I haven't forgotten
There was a rustling sound that caught Kenshin's and Kaoru's attention. Kaoru stiffened and her eyes hardened. "What's the matter?" Kenshin asked. Kaoru's gaze was glued in the direction the unwelcome noise came from. "It's him," she hissed touching the hilt of her katana. Sure enough, Yashiitomo emerged from the bushes. "Aha, here you are," he growled.
************************
"Yahiko, ca-what are you doing?" Sano asked watching Yahiko scramble about his room. "I'm leaving," he said flatly and continued to pack. Sano was confused. "What the hell are you talking about?"
"I'm heading to Kyoto," he explained. "I'm tired of sitting around here like a duck when Kenshin and Kaoru could be in trouble. I want to go and see them; they've been gone for two months now!"
"Yahiko, we all wanna see them, but Kenshin specifically told us to stay here and watch the dojo until he comes back with Jou-chan."
"I can't Sano! It's been too long for me!!!" Yahiko argued. "You're just being f*#%king impatient!" Sano yelled. "Use your head!!!"
"I've had it! I'm going and that's final!!!"
"I don't think so!!!"
************************
"I knew I'd find you eventually," Yashiitomo laughed. "You've been quite a handful, as much of a nuisance as that bastard Keisuke!" Kenshin saw Kaoru stiffen. "Don't talk about Keisuke like that!" Yashiitomo let out an evil laugh. "Who's gonna make me? You two were alike. A pain in the neck!" Kaoru started to weaken. "Just shut up..." This wasn't pleasing Kenshin. "It'd be one thing to have an obnoxious attitude as well as ruthless personality," he hissed, eyes glowing. "But when you play with someone's feelings, especially hers, that's when I get angry..."
"Oooh I'm so scared," Yashiitomo laughed. Kaoru stepped in front of him. "Leave Kenshin alone, your fight is with me," she said venom dropping with each word. "Kaoru, I want to help-"
"Don't worry, I'll call you if I need backup," Kaoru said giving him a reassuring smile. "I haven't forgotten our agreement. Don't worry, okay?" Kenshin nodded his eyes softening a little. "Be careful."
"Are you going to keep chit-chatting or are we going to fight, this conversation is boring me," Yashiitomo growled drawing his sword. Kaoru turned away from Kenshin. "Have it your way."
**********************************
"What in the world is going on here???" Megumi asked coming out of nowhere. Sano turned around as did Yahiko. "This baka over here says he's going to leave and look for Kenshin and Jou-chan."
"But, what about the dojo?" Megumi reasoned. "That's what I said!" Sano grumbled. "But he's so stubborn he'll get himself killed!"
"Says who?!" Yahiko retorted.
"Me that's who!" Sano shouted back.
"Am not!"
Are too!"
"Am not!!!"
"Are t-!"
"SHUT UP BOTH OF YOU!!!!!!!"
Sano and Yahiko jumped upon hearing Megumi's outburst. "Arguing isn't going to solve this problem; now Yahiko, do you remember what Kenshin said?"
"Well, yes. But I can't stand sitting here anymore while Kenshin and Kaoru are out doing who knows what!" Yahiko said slumping down against the wall of his room. "I feel useless right now."
Trust me, you aren't, none of us are," Megumi said trying to calm him down. "We're doing what Kenshin wants us to do. He didn't tell you to stay here because he doesn't think we would be of any help, he left us here because he needs us to take care of this place. You understand?" Yahiko sighed, and smiled. "You're right, we'll all stay here and watch this place for him and Kaoru." Sano grinned. "You got it!"
****************************************
Kaoru stood panting in front of Yashiitomo. "What's the matter Kamiya, you weakening, just like your little friend?" he scoffed. Kaoru's eyes glowed red. "Shut up..."
"Worry about this!!!!" he yelled getting ready for an attack. 'It's another Rairyu-Sen again.' Kaoru thought. "That isn't going to work on me again!!!!!!!!" she yelled blocking it. Yashiitomo grinned and countered the attack, getting Kaoru in the face. "You're losing your touch," he laughed. Kaoru wiped the blood from her face. 'That looked like Ryoku-Tetsou.' Kaoru thought. 'I was lucky that time, but next time I may really get hit.' Kaoru had a deep gash in a diagonal direction going from the left side of her head down between her eyes and all the way to her right cheek. "You got lucky this time, but now I'm going to kill you and you can join that weakling Keisuke in hell!!!" Kaoru stiffened. Kenshin was getting furious. 'That's it!' Kaoru heard shuffling behind her. "Kenshin?!"
"AMAKAKERU RYU NO HIRAMEKI!!!" Kaoru stood up horrified. "no don't use that!!!!" she yelled but it was too late. He was already on the attack. "KENSHIN!!!!"
*****************************************
So how was it?
Alright alright. Hold the note! I'll continue. ^_^
*****************************************
Kaoru watched as Kenshin's attack was deflected and he was sent flying. "KENSHIN!!!!!"
"That was too easy," Yashiitomo ranted. Kaoru became outraged. "SHUT UP!!!!" she yelled attacking him. "SAANGAN KUNJINKEN!!!!" Yashiitomo was knocked out and stunned temporarily and Kaoru staggered over to where Kenshin was laying. "Kenshin! Talk to me are you alright?!" she cried falling to her knees.
"I'm...I'm fine..." he said weakly sitting up. She threw her arms around him. "What were you thinking?! That assault could've killed you!" Kenshin wound an arm around her shoulder. "I'm sorry. But how was he able to do that?"
"I don't know where or how he learned to do that. But somehow I saw it coming. Stay down, I'll handle this." Kenshin didn't want to. "It's okay Kaoru, I want to help. I'm fine, just have a few scratches."
"Just a few scratches??? Look at yourself! You just got assaulted with your own attack not to mention the most powerful one, and you say it's just a few scratches?!"
"S-Sorry!" Kenshin uttered. "Ugh...that does it, no more games!" Kaoru turned to see Yashiitomo standing up. 'I knew that wouldn't hold him for long.' "It's time I finished this!" he yelled get ready to attack. Kaoru picked up her katana and went to face him. "I agree with you." Yashiitomo charged but instead of attacking Kaoru, like she expected he turned at the last moment and aimed for Kenshin. Kaoru's eyes widened as Kenshin was hit. "KENSHIN!"
"I'm fine." Kenshin said in a choky voice though it did take its toll on him. Kaoru's eyes glazed. "That does it!!!!" She charged at Yashiitomo who didn't have time to think twice about it. "MANUKIKEMEN!!!!"
"Arrrgh!!!!!!" he bellowed falling over, but got up still. 'What happened? All of a sudden she got stronger and quicker than before. She must be coming blinded by rage. This is good, that means she won't be able to think twice before she attacks and her skill will drop. But on the other hand, her power will increase greatly and even though she will be overwhelmed by it, I will fall victim to it as well. I have to be careful.'
Kenshin saw the change in her as well. 'What's happening to her?'
"You leave Kenshin alone...' she growled, her eyes lighting up in a fiery red. Kenshin gasped. 'That's not Kaoru's usual voice! Could it be that...masaka! The youkai in her is emerging!'
"You're turning into a youkai I see," Yashiitomo uttered. "No matter, even if you kill me the demon side of you is emerging and you shall be devoured by the youkai!" 'No...' Kenshin thought.
"Just shut up!!!!!" Kaoru hissed. "Don't provoke me any further, OR I SWEAR I'LL BREAK EVERYTHING IN MY PATH!!!!" Kenshin watched her with tears in his eyes. 'This is the only way, otherwise I'll lose her to the youkai...' He raised his sakabatou. 'Kaoru...forgive me...'
"SOU RYU SEN!!!!!" Rocks flew everywhere and closed in on Kaoru. Surprised, she lost balance and came in contact with the ground.
**********************************
How was it? Bad? Tell me ^_^ Hey, I could've stopped sooner. Just kidding, please R/R and thank you!!!!
