~A Chance For You~
Prologue
Kenshin looked at Kaoru's sleeping face. "She looks so peaceful...so innocent..." His fingers gently caressed her beautiful face.
"Kenshin...Don't go...onegai!!" Kaoru mumbled in her sleep.
I'm sorry, Kaoru-dono. But I am a rurouni after all...gome nasai!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaoru opened her eyes. Sweat droplets formed around her head. "No...It's only a dream...Yogata..." She could still feel her heart pounding. Thump! Thump! She reached for her gi and quickly got dressed. The screen door slid open and Kaoru stepped out of her room to a whole new day.
Things are as usual this morning. Kenshin is doing the laundry. Sano's out gambling again last night and hasn't been back yet. Yahiko is practicing in the dojo. Kaoru glanced up at the sky and sighed. "It's only a dream...Kenshin didn't leave again. Nobody left. But why do I feel so uneasy?" The vivid nightmare last night was so real...too real almost. It was the identical scenery. The river, the green fireflies, the heartbreaking goodbye from Kenshin. It was the night when Kenshin left for Kyoto to defeat Shishio.
Kaoru shook her head, trying to get rid of the uneasiness in her heart. It's over, she thought to herself, Kenshin's back and everything is back to normal. I am just getting worked up over nothing...
"Old hag! Cook me some breakfast, will ya? I'm starved to death!!" Yahiko, finished with his training, has gone back to his favorite pasttime --- teasing Kaoru.
Kaoru's eyes bulged out in flames when she heard Yahiko's comment. "Mao...Don't you know how to take care of yourself, Yahiko-chan?" Yahiko became bright red and started yelling at Kaoru, throwing cursing words here and there.
Kenshin smiled at the familiar routine of Yahiko being chased by Kaoru. He had miss them sooo much. And now he's back, nothing's going to stop him from protecting his beloved...especially Kaoru.
Yes...everything is as before, calm and peaceful. Nothing has changed...nothing at all...

Meantime 10 miles away a scream was let out as the victim was slashed by a redheaded man with a pair of crossed scars on his face...
