Epilogue – Assassin's Of Love
"Baka deshi! I can see that you look much more better now!" Hiko's voice boomed in the ward.
"Hiko sama. Kon'nichiwa." Kaoru stood from her position and bowed to Hiko who nodded his head.
"Shishou..."
"Same to you too Kaoru chan. Baka deshi! I brought someone who wants to meet you." Hiko said as a petite figure appeared from Hiko's back.
"Kenshin san." Came a feminine voice. Kenshin face lit up. The lady had charcoal black hair tied up into a bun. Wearing a formal kimono. Her eyes were pure black.
"Tomoe!" Kaoru's eyes recognized her immediately.
'It's her!' Kaoru's eyes darken at the sight of the beauty in front of her.
'Calm DOWN!! Kamiya! Breathe! What... what if she wants to get back with Kenshin? What if Kenshin... says 'yes' What would I do then?' Kaoru's mind started to drift away.
"-oru? Daijoubu? You look like you were in a trance?"
'I am!!!' Kaoru thought silently.
"Hai? I'm fine... Don't worry. I'll leave the both of you now." Kaoru said as she stood up but was stopped by Tomoe.
"Excuse me..."
"The pear... you are still holding it... I'll help Kenshin san to peel it." Kaoru took in a deep breath as she handed her the pear. Washed her hand and walked out of the room, feeling empty.
'I wonder what's wrong with her?' Kenshin thought as her figure disappear behind the door.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Aoshi... What do you want to talk about?" Misao asked as she sipped her mocha slowly. Aoshi cleared his voice nervously and held onto Misao's hand tighter.
'You can do it Shinomori! Just say it out! Be my woman!'
"Aoshi? Daijoubu?" Misao asked in a concern tone. Squeezing back his hand.
"Well... I was thinking that since I'm not ever going to let you go...." Misao flushed as she absorbed what Aoshi was trying to say and do as he knelt on the ground beside her.
"Would mind being my woman... Shinomori Misao?" Aoshi said in sincere as he opened a box revealing a simple carved ring. Misao was dumb struck. She didn't know how to respond to Aoshi's sudden propose.
"Misao?" Aoshi felt a sudden cold feeling gripping his heart.
'What if she thinks that we are moving too fast... But kami sama knows how much I want her. But... I don't want to rush her too...'Aoshi thought
"Misao... It's okay if you don't wa-" Before Aoshi could finish his sentence, Misao was already in his embrace sobbing with tears of joy.
"Yes! Yes! Yes! Don't you dare take it back! Shinomori Aoshi!" Aoshi smiled at her happiness and wipe those tears from her eyes with his knuckles. He pulled her hand so that she would fall to him. After that he captured her lips with his.
"Aishiteru." Aoshi said in between his passionate kiss.

Kaoru brought down her kodachis in a swift movement.
Her cries during each moves echoed through the dojo. She stood alone.
"Great move! Kamiya! Now Kenshin would think that you are some jealous freak!" Kaoru hissed to herself for making such a stupid move. Kaoru, frustrated with herself, she slashed her way through a sea of imaginary opponents. Out of the blue the whole dojo was engulfed in a pool of blood.
Suddenly she felt her legs and hands fastened. She couldn't move no matter how much she struggled. Rotten faces of her previous preys blobbed up and down of the sea of blood. The words rang in her mind.
'Once a Hitokiri, always a Hitokiri till death.' All the faces of the criminal mouthed out the same words. Nearing her each seconds.
"No... don't... don't come near me..." Kaoru was suddenly shaken. She didn't know why but her heart gripped and turned. She felt a sense of... guilty? She didn't understand.
'Give us back our lifes!'
'Die! If we don't deserve to live... neither do you... Hitokiri Kageyuki!' Suddenly one of them grabbed her by the feet pulling her down with them.
"No! Let go! No!" She kicked and struggled to no prevail as the grip only tightened and the pull was intense. For the first time of her life she was afraid... of death.
"Let go of me! Iya! Let go! Help! Somebody! Help! Sen...sei.. Soujirou sensei! Kaa sama! Ken.. KENSHIN!!"
"-ORU! Daijoubu? Ore da! Kenshin da! Kaoru!" Kaoru snapped her eyes opened to find those worried violet hues.
"Daijoubu? You feeling okay? What happen?" Kaoru shook her head and regin her composure. She recalled, the bloody sea... the fear of death.
'I'm going crazy....' Kaoru thought silently.
"Kaoru? What happen? You were calling my name suddenly and collapse to the ground."
"Blood..." Kaoru stared at her hands. Although they looked clean... underneath... in reality... it was covered in blood... not hers... but of others she had killed.
"What blood?" Kenshin was starting to get worried. He pulled her in for an embrace. She pushed him away and stood up.
"I'm fine..." Kaoru walked up to her kodachis and sheathe them.
"Kaoru..."
"Why are you up? You shouldn't be! You haven't fully recovered yet."
"Tomoe said that it was better to come out for some fresh air." Kenshin answered as he walked near her.
"Of course! Tomoe san! How could I forget about her!" The fear she felt previously replaced with jealousy.
"What's wrong?" Kenshin asked again as he caught hold of her wrist.
"Nothing! Every things perfectly fine! You have Tomoe san and Tomoe san has you and I'm going crazy!" Kaoru blurted out. She quickly regretted it as she clamp a hand over her mouth.
"Crazy? What are you talking about?" Kenshin asked again as he brought her closer to him.
".... You like Tomoe san ne?" Kaoru asked turning her head away. Not until Kenshin's sudden laughter.
"Koishii... you are jealous aren't you?" Kenshin ask lifting her chin. Kaoru blushed into a beautiful scarlet.
"I'm... I'm not!" Kaoru denied immediately. Kenshin chuckled
"Koishii... there's nothing between me and Tomoe... she has only come to say thanks about Enishi." Kaoru averted his gaze.
"Hontou?" Kaoru asked again.
Kenshin proved by kissing her heartily. Making her want more.
"Koishii... now it's your turn to say about what was happening just now... please... I did to know what's scaring you." Kenshin said almost pleading. Kaoru swallowed.
"You are going to think I'm crazy."
"Of course you are! You are crazy over a sexy and handsome guy in front of you are you not?" Kenshin joked trying to ease the tension. Kaoru playfully punched him on the chest. As she started relating the illusions she was having just minutes ago.

"I can't imagine that you actually forget about your wallet AGAIN!" Megumi grumbled as she stomped out of the cafeteria.
"One fine day Sanosuke! I would stab you with my finest poison serum I have!" Megumi growled.
"Kitsune! That hurt my feelings!" Sanosuke said as he acted like an innocent child latching himself to Megumi's arms.
"Stop it Tori atama! People are watching you dumb head!" Megumi hissed as shook him off her. But of course, the chicken was not so easy to get rid off.
"Meg sama... don't do this to little Sano neeeeee...." Sanosuke continue to feigned innocent till Megumi couldn't take it and laughed along with him.
"Stop being such a little kid you idiot!" Megumi ruffled his hair.
"Anyway, even if I brought my wallet allow... I wouldn't have enough money." That caught Megumi's attention
"What did you say?"
"Holy shit... Not in plan.. hahaha~ Nothing?"
"You really think I'll buy that don't you. I'm giving you 3 seconds to explain yourself!"
Sanosuke didn't know what to do... this wasn't his plan... it was suppose to be ROMANTIC!
"1!"
God!! What should he do?
"2!"
Here goes nothing!
"3! Sano!"
"Will you marry me?" Sanosuke knelt in front of her as she open a small box revealing a diamond ring.
"Oh my.. Sanosuke..."
"Touched aren't you... I spent all my savings on this beauty." Sanosuke said proudly as he smiled charmingly.
"You.... you shouldn't have..."
"Is that a No or a Yes?"
"What do you think you? You baka!" Megumi said as she threw herself to Sanosuke.
"Meg..." His mind became numb as Megumi sealed his lips with hers.
'Yeah! That's a yes... Definitely!!'
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=
Kaoru leaned her head on Kenshin's shoulder. He didn't expect her to have such illutions that was so terrifying. Yes. Of course he had his own... but... it wasn't such as hers. He was worried that it might take the toll on her body.
"Kenshin... I'm scared.... I don't know what I should do..." Kaoru whispered to him as she snuggled closer to him. Kenshin continue to stroke her hair.
"Daijoubu da... I'm here... I'm always here for you... I promise... I'll protect you." Kaoru smiled as eyelids became heavy. She gave into the will to sleep. This time... she had a dreamless sleep.
"Sleep well my princess..." Kenshin said as he kissed the crown of her head.
=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=
In Katsura's office
"Firstly, I would like to thank all of you that this mission was a very successful one. Both for Japan and for yourselves." Katsura said as he smiled at their reactions.
"As for Hiko and what I thought. This was quite an experiment whether we should join the two forces we have. Which are all of you working in the same group. Any objections? Kaoru?"
"No, Katsura sama." Kaoru answered politely.
"Kenshin?"
"No sir." Kenshin responded.
"Good. You will be going off for another mission soon. More informations would be given out this afternoon. In the mean time... think of a name and a leader for the group.
"Yes sir!" All called out as all of them walked out of the office in order.
=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=--=
"YOU HEARD THAT!" Sanosuke aloud as he skipped around trying his best to dance.
"We all heard it... you don't have to shout. So who's the leader then? Kaoru or Kenshin?" Megumi asked coolly as she turned around to see the two leaders. They looked at each other.
"I think Kenshin should be the leader." Kaoru said as she smiled sweetly at him.
"And Kaoru would be the 2nd in command!!" Misao said as she latched herself to Aoshi's arm.
"Okay... then that's settled."
"NOPE! GROUP NAME!!" Sanosuke said in excitement.
"Sanosuke! Stop acting like a small child!" Megumi said as she pulled his ears.
Who would have thought that this bunch of youngsters were the strongest weapon of Japan.
"Dark Angels..." Came the crystal clear voice of Kaoru. Kenshin was the first to look at her.
"How about that?" Kaoru asked again as all of them cheered and shouted out their code name.
"Then Dark Angel it shall be." Kenshin looked at Kaoru and smiled at her.

1.55 A.M
Sydney
"Spotted prey at the entrance at Sun Space Hotel."
"Understood. Get ready to start mission in another 10 secs… Starting from NOW!"
10*9*8*7*…..
Two shadows in a black cloak hid behind the shadows. One unsheathe a katana, the other two kodachis. Their eyes met for a moment. Both shimmered with love for each other. The one with the katana nod his head.
*3*2*1
"NOW!!!"
**0**
Gun shots were heard. Hitting the other bodyguards. A few kunais flying through the sky. Darts followed. All the actions were followed by the screams of the other people.
"KAO! The other one!" Kenshin shouted towards the Kaoru as he killed the first targets.
"Ryoukai shimasu!" Kaoru said as she sprinted to the dark alley of the building.
"Found him?" Came the voice of Kenshin.
"No. He can't run that fast... He must be somewhere around here... i'm sure."
The others of the assassin group came down of the building as she checked the area. Suddenly, a dagger flew past Kaoru's cheek. She turned around to find a big group of men with guns and weapons. Behind the group of people... their main target was there. He was trembling...
"Ikuzu!"
Within seconds merely all of them were dead. None was given a chance of screaming before they were killed.
"Who... Who the hell are you?" Raijuta stammered as he moved back with the help of his head. Both Kenshin and Kaoru were bathed by blood.
"We are you worst nightmare." With that Kenshin thrust his katana in his throat. Maintaining there for a few seconds.
"Dark... angels..." After knowing who they were, Raijuta's whole body limped and finally cut off breathing.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=
"Ahhhh!" Kaoru sighed as she jumped onto her bed. At last she got rid of the blood stanch. Not long warmth covered her body.
"Kenshin?" Kaoru asked she turned around so that Kenshin will top her.
"I... I..."
"Shoot Kenshin! Stop stammering! You have been like that for the pass few weeks."
"Well... I..." The phone rang. Kenshin muttered some curses and picked up the phone.
"What? Yes! I'm working on it! Dammit! Stop calling!" With that he hung up and went back to Kaoru.
"Kenshin? You have been acting strange... need me to help ya relax?" Kenshin all of a sudden felt fingers tickling him.
"Ka.. Kaoru!! Stop!! Haha! Stop!" Kenshin pleaded as she straddled him. His breathing became uneven as he tried catching his breath. Kaoru was laughing in the background.
"So? Whatcha wanna tell me?" Kaoru asked again. Kenshin topped her again and kissed her ardently.
"Erm... would.. would you..."
"Kenshin..." Kaoru said in a low tone...
"Well..."
'I can't believe me.. Hitokiri Battousai! I can't even ask her to be my woman!' Kenshin thought as he took a deep breath.
"Kenshin... If you can't talk... show me..." Kaoru stated sexily as she laid there waiting for his response.
"Show you...." Kenshin's panic face changed into a sly one as he grinned at her.
"I would be happy to show you want I wanted to say."
That night... was an eternity for the both of them.
=-----===------=----=-----=---=---=---=---=--
"Kaoru..."
"Yes anata? When are you going to propose to me?" Kaoru asked as she folded her arms in front. Kenshin's eyes widen as he gave her an expression 'how-did-you-know-about-it?'
"I'm waiting you know..." Kaoru pouted beautifully. Those full red lips made her so welcome. Kenshin smiled at her.
"Will you be my legal wife?" Kenshin asked as he took out a small box from behind him and opened to reveal... a sapphire craved ring.
"It reminds me of your eyes koishii."
"Baka!" Kaoru threw herself to Kenshin and grounded her forehead into his neck.
"I'll take that as a yes." Kaoru giggled as tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks.
"I love you so much!" Kaoru said as she tighten her hold.
"I love you too... my one and only."
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.

"Well... I..." The phone rang. Kenshin muttered some curses and picked up the phone.
"What? Yes! I'm working on it! Dammit! Stop calling!" With that he hung up and went back to Kaoru.
"Kenshin? You have been acting strange... need me to help ya relax?" Kenshin all of a sudden felt fingers tickling him.
"Ka.. Kaoru!! Stop!! Haha! Stop!" Kenshin pleaded as she straddled him. His breathing became uneven as he tried catching his breath. Kaoru was laughing in the background.
"So? Whatcha wanna tell me?" Kaoru asked again. Kenshin topped her again and kissed her ardently.
"Erm... would.. would you..."
"Kenshin..." Kaoru said in a low tone...
"Well..."
'I can't believe me.. Hitokiri Battousai! I can't even ask her to be my woman!' Kenshin thought as he took a deep breath.
"Kenshin... If you can't talk... show me..." Kaoru stated sexily as she laid there waiting for his response.
"Show you...." Kenshin's panic face changed into a sly one as he grinned at her.
"I would be happy to show you want I wanted to say."
That night... was an eternity for the both of them.

"Kaoru..."
"Yes anata? When are you going to propose to me?" Kaoru asked as she folded her arms in front. Kenshin's eyes widen as he gave her an expression 'how-did-you-know-about-it?'
"I'm waiting you know..." Kaoru pouted beautifully. Those full red lips made her so welcome. Kenshin smiled at her.
"Will you be my legal wife?" Kenshin asked as he took out a small box from behind him and opened to reveal... a sapphire craved ring.
"It reminds me of your eyes koishii."
"Baka!" Kaoru threw herself to Kenshin and grounded her forehead into his neck.
"I'll take that as a yes." Kaoru giggled as tears of happiness rolled down her cheeks.
"I love you so much!" Kaoru said as she tighten her hold.
"I love you too... my one and only."
It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble, how hopeless the outlook, how muddled the tangle, how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all.
