"Let go of my hands now Battousai! I have no time to play with you. And this is none of your business. You have better keep your nose to yourself." Kaoru turned around to find a shocked Kenshin but she didn't care.
As soon as Kenshin let her go, Kaoru started to run up to the staircase and up wards to the roof.
"We've gotta stop her…" Misao started to plead them for the first time.
"Please we've gotta stop her or someone will be killed." Misao plead again. Kenshin knew what she meant and so took off towards Kaoru.
'Damned she's fast.' He thought.
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
The only thing Kaoru had in mind was what had happen to her in her past as she raced up to the roof.
'I swear by the name of god… Matsumura Kojirou I'll kill you!!'
Soon she reached up to the roof. She was a door away from the man who had ruined her life.
She banged opened the door with all her force. She went in.
Empty… nothing was there.
She turned her head around many times but the results were still the same… nothing.
She calmed down and listens intently. She heard a small child's sobs. She knew he was there and even held a hostage.
"Matsumura Kojirou… Get the hell out here and don't you dare HARM that kid." Kaoru growled.
"Kao-chan, you never did change a lot. The temper is still there. But something changed, you looked even beautiful now than before. I'm really a lucky man to have claimed you mine when you are still hmmm… around 15?" Kojirou laughed.
"SHUT UP!!!" Kaoru yelled as her eye's colour changed into a deeper shade than cobalt… it was slowly changing into black.
"KAGEYUKI NEE CHAN!!" The young boy who gave her the letter was held by Kojirou's arms shouted. Kojiro tightened his grip on the boy, the hold was so tight for the boy to bear that the boy shouts in pain as he cried.
"Ta…tasuke te… Kageyuki nee chan" The young boy pleaded Kaoru to save him.
"Let the boy GO! This is between us, I'll not allow you to cause pain to him any further." Kaoru growled at Kojirou.
"And what if I did?" Kojirou tested her patience.
Kaoru was totally flared up. Her eyes, they were now totally black in colour. She wasn't Kamiya Kaoru now. She was the legendary lady Hitokiri 'Hitokiri Kageyuki'.
She started to take off her high heels and than she started bounce her left leg. Kojirou looked amazed.
"What are doing my dear? Have you gone crazy?" Kojirou asked.
Kaoru's bangs hid her eyes and expression from Kojirou as she looked at her ground.
"Kao-chan? Do talk… I know that you neither deaf nor mute. So TALK!" Kojirou was starting to get irritated. He took out the gun from the coat and pointed the head of the gun upwards to the boy's chin.
"Another bounce from the leg and this boy goes bye-bye." Kojirou was going to start to pull the trigger when he saw Kaoru taking something out of her bag and from a single tap from her right leg, she disappeared. All that can be seen was the debris of the ground that Kaoru had stepped on.
In a gust of wind, the boy was not in his hands anymore, not only that but she injured his left arm.
Kaoru stopped. She slowly settles the boy from her hands. The boy continued to sob uncontrollably. Kaoru patted his head.
"Stop crying… it's already over. Quick run to the exit when I'm fighting that bad guy ne…" The boy never said anything but he kept shaking his head. Kaoru sighed.
"Namae wa?" Kaoru asked.
"Mizuhara… *sniff sniff* Tetsuya…* sniff sniff* yours?" He answered and asked back.
"Tetsuya chan… I will tell you that if you get out her safe and sound. Deal?" Kaoru tried her best to persuade him to get out as she knew that Kojirou was going to be recovered soon. Tetsuya only shook his head in disapproval.
"Nee chan… saved me… I'll help nee-chan." Tetsuya said bravely while he wiped away the tears away from his eyes. This was Kaoru's turned to shake her head.
"Tetsuya… listen to me if not for your sake than for my sake. Nee chan can't fight with you around, so go! Go after I run towards him. Is it understood?" Kaoru glared at him, just as he opened his mouth to protest. He nodded his head.
"Good boy… Go when I tell you to Tetsuya " Kaoru patted his head once more as she stood up and turned around. She than revealed the Kunai she held hidden in her left hand. While the right held the pistol.
She started to bounce her feet again. Than a little tap from her right, she disappeared again.
"NOW!!" Tetsuya heard his cue and started running towards the exit door.
"Kaoru!" There stood Kenshin at the door.
"Tasukete!" Tetsuya shouted towards Kenshin. Kenshin ran towards the boy as fast as possible.
Kojirou had already seen through Kaoru's plan for the boy to escape. He wanted to shatter her confidence again like the last time he did. He knew she hated people who shed children blood. So he acted that he was aiming for her.
Just when he saw Tetsuya's figure running towards the door. He changed aim and shot at Tetsuya, but after he shot Tetsuya he was being shot by Kaoru's kunai.
Kaoru noticed it and changed her direction towards Tetsuya. But it was too late.
"TETSUYA!!!" Kaoru shouted when she stopped at the body in front of her. Kaoru knelt down and held the boys head while she kept apologizing to him. She stroked his cheek. His once flushed cheeks were slowly fading into pale white cheeks. She cried for the first time after being a Hitokiri.
"Tet…Tetsuya… I'm sorry…" Kaoru apologize.
"It's not your fault… nee chan. *cough cough* Nee chan... see I have reach the exit door… but not safe and sound like what I have promise nee chan… but you will still say your name ne?" Tetsuya asked using his last strength.
"I am Kamiya Kaoru… and also Hitokiri Kageyuki as you have already known." Kaoru fought back not to cry in front of the boy who she had just failed to protect.
"Kaoru nee…" Tetsuya said while reaching for Kaoru's cheek.
"A Hitokiri cannot show tears ne… or you wouldn't be as cool as people describe you anymore."
"Tetsuya…" Kaoru said as she swallowed a lump into her throat.
"I've always admired you… Kaoru nee… you are as powerful as those people who have described you, and indeed a beauty too. *cough cough* Kaoru nee… would you teach me how to be strong?" Tetsuya asked.
The others, Misao, Aoshi and Kenshin were fighting for the boy… praying to god that he would still live on, he was still so… young.
Kaoru kept nodding her head to whatever he says. She knew he couldn't make it anymore.
"Hush… Tetsuya… you need rest… I'll teach you how to be strong after your sleep so rest now… Be a good boy Tetsuya." Kaoru said while stroking his cheeks.
He refused, but couldn't fight against the heavy eyelids. He finally gave in. He closed his eyes and died. His hands fell from Kaoru's face. Kaoru held him close to her. Although Kaoru only knew him for not more than one day… she has already learned to love him as a little brother. She felt warmth when he called her nee chan, even when he called Kageyki nee chan… the blood filled name sound totally different from what it sounds. She let him go and placed him on the ground. She turned around.
"Matsumura Kojirou… that was the last straw… I'll kill you… even if it took my LIFE!" Kaoru started running towards Kojirou with lots of kunais in her hand.
Suddenly a pair of arms wrapped her from behind preventing her to run anymore. Hatred blinded her eyes and ears. She didn't heard nor saw the helicopter flying in. She struggled badly in Kenshin's hand wanting to have Kojirou's head rolling on the floor. That was the revenge she planned for ruining her life and destroying another one. He was to be punished.
Kaoru saw Kojirou being loaded in the helicopter and was already taking off. She wanted to get in the helicopter to get Kojirou's head.
"KOJIROU!!! I'LL GET YOU!! I SWEAR TO THE NAME OF GOD YOU WILL BE KILLED BY MY OWN HANDS!!!" Kaoru shouted in a dead serious voice. After that she stopped struggling and cried silently.
Kenshin hugged her tighter. As she turned around, she hugged Kenshin in returned.
"What happen? Who is Kojirou? What have he done to you in the past?" Kenshin asked in a serious yet it brought a tinge of gentleness in it.
Kaoru just shook her head in expressing she doesn't want to say anything further.
"Tetsuya… Gomen ne…" were the only words Kaoru managed to say between her sobs.
