--------

Three days had passed in Yoko's house. The past three days were silent. Nobody dared to talk about the accident. Sano and Kaoru also dared not to talk about 'the kiss'. Even though the temperatures were rising Yoko's house was as cold as ice. The whole place was filled with the coldness of silence. They talked..Sometimes. Mostly they all tried to get out of each other's way as much as possible. On the fourth morning Sano went out early in the morning. The sun wasn't even up yet. He went to the gazebo and sat down on the bench in it. He closed his eyes and relaxed for a moment. He took in air into his lungs. [Even with all this air..I still feel suffocated..I still feel as if the air has been toxicate by some kind of intoxicating polluted air...Why?] Sano concentrated as hard as possible on the past events. He wanted to turn back time and change everything. Nothing was going his way now..Nothing. The kiss, the fire, the men chasing them and most important of all..Kaoru's arrival. As much as he enjoyed Kaoru being there..Knowing she was here safe it just didn't feel right. Kaoru's presence didn't feel right. She was here because some ingrates had killed everyone she held dear the most. They destroyed her whole life. They destroyed HIS whole life. He really wasn't planning to see Kaoru again. All he wanted was for her to be with Kenshin and for her to be happy. But here she was confused and hurt.

"I'm an idiot..." He whispered in the wind.

"You're not an idiot.." A voice said from behind him.

He turned and saw Kaoru looking beautiful as ever. Sano stared at her as she sat down next to him.

"You're one of the smartest person I know..Rooster head.." Kaoru smiled at Sano as he blushed a little bit.

They started to laugh then talk about stuff. They talked about remembering their old days in Kyoto. They started to talk about Yahiko, Tae and Sae, Megumi , Yahiko..and Kenshin. On the topic about Kenshin, Kaoru stopped then just remained silent. She didn't want to think about it. She didn't want to accept the fact he was gone. She could still feel Kenshin's presence around her.

"We don't have to about it anymore.." Sano suggested because she felt that Kaoru had been hurt enough. She didn't deserve any more pain.

They didn't had anything to talk about anymore. They just remained on the few more moments as the sun rises and shed out bright sunlight all over the garden. The sun shone its bright light on Kaoru's face only making her look more radiant. Sano stared at her..Trying to figure out what could be on he mind at that very moment. The birds started chirping and the suns brightness also filled the place with warmness.

"Isn't it beautiful?" Kaoru said taking in fresh morning air.

"You're beautiful..." Sano whispered. Kaoru turned his head to Sano.

"What?" She stared at Sano only making the whole situation more tense for Sano.

"Nothing..." Kaoru turned her head back to the scenic view as Sano gave out a sigh.

After a few more minutes of staring the amazing scene they went back inside to cook breakfast. Keiko and Yoko up and Keiko started cleaning the house. Around 9 in the morning the ate breakfast. They all went to town to do a little bit of shopping for supplies. Sano and Yoko also checked the progress in the restaurant's construction.

They went to eat lunch in town. They went with Yoko to the governor's office to take care of some business. Dusk was starting. They all got home by 7 and they all eaten dinner in town because they were all tired by the end of day.

Back at Yoko's house they all went to the sort of living room trying to create and interesting conversation. Keiko who got bored went to her room to play with her toys. The rest were left in the living room playing cards. The living room was filled with laughter and joy. Happiness was trapped in the room affecting everyone. By midnight Yoko went to sleep out of tiredness. Kaoru and Sano was left to clean up.

"I never knew Yoko was so good at poker (a/n: was poker alive back then? well if it wasnt sorry..)" Kaoru laughed as she put the cards away.

"Yeah never knew that too!" Sano laughed with Kaoru. The happiness was still trapped in the room..Not for long.

"Well this room is cleaned up..I'll go to sleep now.." Kaoru said goodnight to Sano and left the room.

Sano who decided to sleep to went out the room only to find Keiko, Yoko and Kaoru tied up in the gazebo.

"Sano!!!!!" Keiko screamed in tears.

Sano ran to towards the gazebo as fast as possible. He untied the threes of them.

"WHO DID THIS?" He demanded.

Out of the dark night a shadow appeared behind him. The shadow was a men..Dressed in black. One of the ninjas. This one was holding a samurai.

"I'm right here idiot..." The shadow teased. "I believe you're looking for me..."

"Why you...!" Sano didn't know what to do. He started spatting and cursing to the shadow. Soon there were about ten more shadows behind him.

"What? What am I?" The shadows started to laugh at Sano.

Keiko, Yoko and Kaoru stayed behing Sano who was getting really, really mad now.

"You piece of shit.." Sano smirk at the shadow then jumped and attacked him.

The shadow moved saw Sano and moved fast and cut Sano in the chest.

"Well..I'm a pretty amazing piece of shit.." The shadow started laughing at Sano who fell down on his knees. "I don't think back up would be necessary on this one boys.."

The two started fighting. The shadow just mocked and laughed at Sano.The shadow who was fighting with Sano was beyond good. He moved faster than light. In a blink of an eye he's gone and then he's behind you. Sano fought with his fist but the shadow fought with his samurai. Kaoru fell to his knees crying seeing Sano in pain. Then when Sano moved so fast he crept behind the shadow then ripped the upper part of their costume. The shadow fell down and so did his samurai. The moonlight shed light to the shadow's face. The shadow had long, red mesmerizing hair. When he turned to Sano his eyes glared..It was yellow in the moonlight. With the sight of the shadow Kaoru completely fainted and Sano almost fell down.

"Ke.." Sano stuttered. "Kenshin..."

"Hah.." Kenshin spat then laughed. "Kenshin? Yeah right..Who the hell is Kenshin? I'm Raidon..But hey you can call me the battousai..." With that Raidon jumped up then just disappeared in the darkness of the night with the other men.
