"Kaa sama?" Kaoru asked as her mother seems to be distancing off. Her mother raised her hands to mid air.
"Koshijirou… I'm coming… This was supposed to be the way ne…" She closed her eyes and smiled as her hand fell on to her side, her head tilt on to Kaoru's side.
"Ka…kaa sama? Don't go…" Kaoru held the body tight to her as she kept whispering the words.
Suddenly a familiar voice called her name. She couldn't think anymore… she gave into darkness and fell onto the body's side.
"KAORU!"
*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*
Kaoru woke up in a different place. She scanned the whole area…. It looked like a hospital. She could hardly recall what happen….. She only remembered the loss of her mother warmth and someone who called out to her just before she passed out. She couldn't care less about the voice. She wanted only her mother now.
She saw Misao sleeping beside her bed. She smiled a bit at the sight.
'Kaa… sama….. I'm coming…..' Kaoru thought as she walked out of the room to the hall. She successfully walked out of the hall till a nurse came running to her.
"Kamiya san! You cannot walk about now! You are not fully healed yet." Kaoru looked at her.
"Where's my kaa sama?" Kaoru asked. The nurse looked taken back.
"Kaa sama?" The nurse repeated the same words.
"Where is she?" Kaoru asked voice becoming low and dangerous. She walked towards the nurse till she was right in front of her.
"Where?"
"I don't know… what's her name?"
"Kyoko….. Kamiya Kyoko."
"I'm sorry….. we haven't receive any patient named Kyoko today and yesterday. As if Kaoru couldn't understand a word.
"WHERE IS SHE??" Kaoru ask grapping the collar of the dress.
"Kaoru! What are doing out of bed and terrorizing my nurses?" Kaoru looked at the source. It was Megumi.
"Takani sensei. She wants to look for her mother…. Can you bring her to where her mother is?" The nurse asked as she pries of Kaoru's finger.
"I can't….. I cannot do that." Megumi said as she averted Kaoru's gaze.
"What do you mean by that Takani?" Kaoru hissed. She meant business as she addresses Megumi with her surname.
"She's died."
"Uso…. da…. Usotsuki."
The next thing she knew was hearing a thud on the floor.
"Kamiya san!"
"Bring her to the emergency room NOW!"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Is he ever going to wake up?" Sanosuke asked as he poked Kenshin's head with his finger. Kenshin had miraculously survived due to his loss of blood when he fought Enishi. Of course….. Enishi was being captured by the authorities and was send to justice. But it was a little too costly for both group leaders. Kenshin and Kaoru.
"Sagara….. If he doesn't wake up…. Probably it is because of your constant poking on his head." Aoshi replied coolly as he close his eye and started…….. Meditating. All of them… Sanosuke, Megumi, Misao, Aoshi, Kenshin and Kaoru have gone through a lot in this mission… not only on both physically and mentally… they even got to know what's love. But it seems that Kenshin and Kaoru was a little wee bit later than theirs. Both Sanosuke and Aoshi had confessed their love to their 'angels'.
'It's left with you buddy… so get your ass up and go to Kamiya's room.' Aoshi thought. The door banged open suddenly.
"Kaoru's in the emergency room again!" Misao said through her tears.
=-=-=- flashback =-=-=-=-
"Just GO! I can deal with him!" Kaoru said again as she manage to overpower Kojirou.
"See that was easy." Kaoru said as she flashed him a smile. Kenshin nodded as went his way towards Enishi.
Kenshin could feel a very small sense of aura which was belonging to Enishi. He ran towards it.
'I'll make you pay for the sufferings you have cost in Kaoru's life.' Kenshin thought as he soon reach to a hall.
"Enishi! No need for hiding! I know you are in here!" Footsteps were heard. And true enough, Enishi appeared from behind a big pillar of the hall.
"Well… well… what may I ask does the Japan Police Headquarters want with me…"
"Enishi…. In Japan….. You have formed up an illegal association, killing the innocent and selling illegal goods. I shall bring you back for justice."
Enishi's laughter echoed through the hallway.
"By you?" Enishi laughed harder. Kenshin kept his hard gaze at Enishi and then he disappeared into the air. Enishi narrowed his eyes and took out a katana from his back. But it was quite different from the normal katana. It was a watou. The sounds of swords clashing together reverberated the hall. They jumped apart and Enishi charged to Kenshin and slashed Kenshin. Kenshin easily dodge them one by one.
"You're good…."
"Finished?" Kenshin asked Enishi as he cut the air with his katana. Enishi widen his eyes as he tightens his hold on his watou.
"Then it's my turn." Kenshin jumped up onto the air and brought his katana down.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Ryu Tsui….." after inflicting Enishi's shoulder, he landed on the floor and bounce back up as he pushed his katana upwards.
"Sho Sen!" After that he landed behind him. He spun around and brought his katana to a swirl.
"Ryuu Kan Sen!" But to his amazement, Enishi managed to block that hit with the hilt of the watou. Then Enishi pulled back his watou so that his other hand could get the sword. After that he thrust his sword right through Kenshin's left hand.
"Watou Jutsu Kaishi Tousei"
"So… you can actually use that watou skillfully." Kenshin smirk as he jumped away from Enishi while preparing his next stance.
"Kuzu Ryuu Sen!" Kenshin said as he sprinted towards Enishi. Enishi smirk as he himself prepare himself awaiting the incoming assassin. When he was near enough. Enishi brought his watou up and at the same time he applied a kick force at the middle of the watou letting it go with full energy. Kenshin was being thrown of to the near side wall without completing his 'Kuzu Ryuu Sen'.
"Watou Jutsu Shuuki Tousei." Enishi said coolly.
'Baka na! He erased Kuzu Ryuu Sen!' Kenshin got up from the dented wall. Suddenly he felt like he was being cut open as he felt pain traveling up from his abdomen to his collarbone. Blood was everywhere as he collapsed onto the ground. Kenshin was now coughing out blood. He held onto his katana tighter as he felt life draining out of him.
"Pain? You feel that don't you? Then die." Enishi swiftly brought down his watou but instead of meeting the cutting of flesh another sound of the metal rang again.
"I'm not finished yet.." With that Kenshin used his strength, stood up and pressed against Enishi's watou fiercely. Enishi was taken back by this as he flew to the next corner. Kenshin panted harder as the pain grew intensely. He sheath his katana and stopped moving.
'I shall finish him off with Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Ougi.' Kenshin thought as he hand hang at the hilt of the sword.
"Want to die the honorable way I suppose. Don't worry…. I'll take good care of Kageuki chan for you na…" Enishi said.
"I'll not let you lay a hand on Kaoru not even a single hair! COME… I'll show you why they call me Battousai!" Kenshin said in a dangerous tone and slightly bend his knees. He closed his eyes. He could somehow hear a very faint voice calling out to him.
'Kenshin….' Kaoru appeared in his mind holding out her hands to him while smiling sweetly at him.
'Kenshin…. Come back to me safe and sound ne…. yakusoku.' Kaoru tilt her head to one side and held out her little finger towards Kenshin.
He opened his eyes and smiled a little. He was ready. He would go back to his Kaoru….. no matter what.
"Your death is today! Battousai!" Enishi said as he and Kenshin both ran towards each other. Enishi swirl his watou to his back while Kenshin pulled out his katana.
"Watou Jutsu Zekki Kofu Zettou Sei!"
"ENISHI!" a feminine voice called out. Enishi immediately recognizes it. But he refuses to react. He continued. Enishi crouched on the floor as when Kenshin misses him with his first move. Enishi got up and pushes his watou towards Kenshin.
Kenshin closed his eyes again. Kaoru's figure came back to his mind. She was once again smiling down at him.
'Kaoru.' Kenshin unleashed a battle cry.
Little did he know that Kenshin's sheath block his blow as Kenshin exerted the second same blow again.
"Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu Ougi Ama Kakeru Ryuu No Hirameki." Kenshin said as he straighten his back and sheath his sword. Enishi had lost to Kenshin.
"ENISHI!" a raven hair lady ran to Enishi.
"Nee san….. gomen…." Enishi manage to say those words.
"Tomoe…." Kenshin couldn't believe his ears….. he couldn't believe that Enishi was Tomoe's little brother.
"Kenshin…." Tomoe smiled sheepishly.
"I couldn't stop him….. I thought if I brought him to Boston he would change…. He didn't…. I have figured it out when you came to Boston so suddenly that you must have been the one that the Japan headquarters had sent."
"How did you know?"
"Because… I was the one who send a report saying that Enishi was here….. I needed someone to stop him before he went to deep."
"Tomoe….."
"Please bring him back to justice."
"Nee san… gomen." Enishi said as he cried on his lap.
"No… I am the one who should say sorry…. For not doing this earlier." Tomoe said. Soon the Enishi was handcuffed and was brought back to justice.
'Kaoru… I'm coming." Kenshin thought as he walked out of the hall. Despite the pain from his large wound Kenshin ran to the room where Kaoru was. He had a bad feeling that he couldn't shove away.
'Please be okay." Kenshin thought again as he banged open the door.
"KAORU!" He called out but instead of the smile he was expecting Kaoru fell on the ground unconscious. He ran to her side. He held her tight as he told her silently to wake up to open her eyes.
"Kenshin! You got a big cut there… you have to treat it now! Let fox do it!" Sanosuke instantly went to Kenshin but then the next thing he knew was Kenshin had too much blood loss and was there lifeless on the ground with Kaoru in his tight embrace.
=-=-==-= End of Flashback =-=-=-=--
"Kaoru….. daijobun?" came the soft voice of Misao. Kaoru slowly open her eyelids to find Misao looking down at her both angry and relieve.
"Misao…. Where are we?"
"We are back in Japan….. and what were you thinking walking out of the room without letting me know…. Do you know how worried I was when one of the nurses woke me up and told me you were back in the emergency room!" Misao literally yelled at her.
'Hack the consequences!' She thought as she first time defiantly look at Kaoru.
"Kaa…. Sama….." Kaoru said softly and memories flooded into her mind.
Yes….. her mother had died…. Saving her…. She had to accept it whether she like it or not…. It was the inevitable truth. Then suddenly Kaoru eyes flew open again.
"Kenshin….. where is he?" Kaoru asked.
"He's at the guy's ward upstairs…. But he hasn't waked up yet…. We are afraid that he might not be able to wake up due to his…. Loss of blood…." Misao said as she averted Kaoru's gaze.
"I want to see him." Kaoru said as she got off her bed. Limping towards the door. Misao immediately went to her side.
"But you are in no condition!"
"You think I give a damn when Kenshin's upstairs still not wanting to wake up and he might die!" Misao was shock by Kaoru's outburst as she helped her out and brought her to the room.
'This is the only thing I can do to ease her pain.' Misao thought as she knock on the door and enter.
"Jou chan! What are you doing here?" Sanosuke apparently just asked a stupid question.
"I'm here to see Kenshin." Kaoru answered in monotone as she eyed the man who lay on the bed not moving.
"Sagara, Misao… hungry right? Let's get something to fill our stomach." Aoshi said as he smiled weakly at Kaoru to reassure her that everything was going to be fine. He pulled the other two out. Now the room was left with Kenshin and Kaoru alone.
Kaoru limp towards the chair which was beside Kenshin. She caressed his cheek and held onto his hand.
"Kenshin….. wake up…. I'm here…. See I told you….. I told you I could make it. So wake up." Her voice broke as she tightened the hold on his hand.
"Kenshin….. onegai…. Wake up…. My mother has already left…. So has my father… I only have you now… onegai… please don't leave me alone…. Please." Kaoru said as she laid her cheek onto his hand. She didn't even notice the tightening of hold by the other hand.
"Is the roof leaking?" A voice came. Kaoru immediately jerk her head up to see Kenshin smiling widely.
"Kenshin….. you are awake."
"It's quite obvious isn't it?" Kenshin said as he picked up his free hand and cup her face as he wiped of the excess tears.
"How are you feeling? I'll call the nurses!" Kaoru said as she quickly got out from her chair but instead she was being pulled on to the patient bed landing beside Kenshin.
"I don't want the nurses…. I only want you…. Only you can heal me…. I thought I lost you back then." Kenshin said as he held on to her afraid of losing her again.
"Kenshin no baka!" Kaoru chided him as she wrapped her arms around Kenshin's waist as she kissed his collarbone where his injury started or ended.
"Kenshin?"
"I'm fine…. Don't worry… I'll be fine… don't leave me again…. Aishiteru." Kenshin said softly but audible enough to let Kaoru hear it. She smiled at what Kenshin said.
"Watashi mo…. I love you too." Kaoru said as she tightens her hold.
Both of them succumbed to sleep while two pair of eyes continued to spy on them and smiled triumphantly.
"I knew that they would be together." One of them said.
"But it took your deshi long enough didn't he?"
"Aa… that baka deshi of mine is not only dense, insensitive not to say dumb at times….. but overall his performance is fine." The other one only laughed.
"At least now Kaoru can lead a normal life."
"So can my baka deshi."
The both of them walked out of the hospital and back to their headquarters.
"Hiko…. Maybe… about the unite team that you asked for…. I would consider it."
"Aa….. they might need it."
=-=-=-=-=-
Back in the hospital
Suddenly a wind rose in the room. Kaoru snuggled closer into Kenshin as she creaked open one of her eyes but surrender back to sleep again as she felt someone stoking her hair.
You have done us proud Kaoru….. we will always be by your side…. Forever.
Kaoru smiled through her sleep as a lone tear slid down her cheek. There they were…. Her mother…. Her real father and….. most of all… her beloved sensei, Soujirou sensei. They were with her this moment. Not forgetting Kenshin. She was not alone anymore. Not anymore.

After this ficcy, I have thought of another idea… and I thought it might be nice to write about it. Wanna know more? Okay Here's basically the storyline.
Kenshin is a doctor and Kaoru's a nurse. Under him of course. I would start of with Kaoru and Kenshin being a couple already. Then of course Megumi loved Kenshin….. and she would create some trouble… but it went a little too far…. Nearly causing Kaoru's death. Kenshin will find that out a bit later and of course he blames Megumi on it.

"Kenshin?"
"I'm fine…. Don't worry… I'll be fine… don't leave me again…. Aishiteru." Kenshin said softly but audible enough to let Kaoru hear it. She smiled at what Kenshin said.
"Watashi mo…. I love you too." Kaoru said as she tightens her hold.
Both of them succumbed to sleep while two pair of eyes continued to spy on them and smiled triumphantly.
"I knew that they would be together." One of them said.
"But it took your deshi long enough didn't he?"
"Aa… that baka deshi of mine is not only dense, insensitive not to say dumb at times….. but overall his performance is fine." The other one only laughed.
"At least now Kaoru can lead a normal life."
"So can my baka deshi."
The both of them walked out of the hospital and back to their headquarters.
"Hiko…. Maybe… about the unite team that you asked for…. I would consider it."
"Aa….. they might need it."

Back in the hospital
Suddenly a wind rose in the room. Kaoru snuggled closer into Kenshin as she creaked open one of her eyes but surrender back to sleep again as she felt someone stoking her hair.
You have done us proud Kaoru….. we will always be by your side…. Forever.
Kaoru smiled through her sleep as a lone tear slid down her cheek. There they were…. Her mother…. Her real father and….. most of all… her beloved sensei, Soujirou sensei. They were with her this moment. Not forgetting Kenshin. She was not alone anymore. Not anymore.

Author's Notes:
WAI WAI WAI!!! I have finished my first fic!!! Yatta!!! Hmmm…. But i got a problem here….. did I disappoint any of you?? Is this ending fitting for this fic?? I hope it doesn't disappoint any of you out there… gomen ne… if it does…. PLEASE!! Don't forget to R&R!! ^__^
Suggestions are also Welcomed
Hmmmm…. I was thinking of an epilogue for this fic…. And after that… a sequel of Assassin's of Love… Still thinking about it…. ^_^ So do tell me how you felt about this chappie and whether should I write an epilogue or a sequel… do tell me what you think ne… Minna sama Arigatou
Minna sama! Thanks for supporting me through the way…. I cannot hope for more… ^__^ So how is this chappie? I just love the fight with Enishi haha~ and the way Kaoru was pulled back by Kenshin to land…. On his bed.. hehe~ *twink twink* haha~ anyway… do tell me your view ne! Minna sama once again! ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!
After this ficcy, I have thought of another idea… and I thought it might be nice to write about it. Wanna know more? Okay Here's basically the storyline.
Kenshin is a doctor and Kaoru's a nurse. Under him of course. I would start of with Kaoru and Kenshin being a couple already. Then of course Megumi loved Kenshin….. and she would create some trouble… but it went a little too far…. Nearly causing Kaoru's death. Kenshin will find that out a bit later and of course he blames Megumi on it.
AND THEN…. Wanna know more??? Have to wait for my update ne…. it's going to take awhile though, I have other fics on my hand ya know. Akai Tsuki and Made For Each Other. Please tell me how you feel about this new story I thought of.
Thanks!!! I really appreciate all you people who have reviewed and stay tune in my fic... i couldn't express my thanks and Love in such simple words... in short.... ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU!!!
Hey~~ Suggestions on titles would be great.. for the sequel and the new story... that is if you want them... ^___^
