"I… I love him…. I just found out that I really need him… want him more… more than Hajime." Kaoru said as she smile at Okita.
"But he's our enemy…. Kaoru… he's Battousai."
"I know… but… but… I cannot stop thinking of him… he's so different from Hajime. I…" Okita never let her finished and just hugged her. Suddenly he felt like her mind was in chaos… she didn't know what was right from wrong now… but he could confirm something… Kaoru have loved another beside Saitou… and worst… it was their… the Shinsen Gumi's enemy… Hitokiri Battousai. And her decision between the two… was most likely going to Battousai… he could just feel it.

Kenshin woke up with a slight pain in his abdomen, as he opened his heavy eyelids. He knitted his eyebrows as he found the light in his room painfully bright. He squinted his eyes as he strain to see where he was. He turned under the blanket and used his elbows for support as he sat up.
"Himura! You are awake. How are you feeling? Better? Who attacked you? I didn't know that anyone could touch you!" came the voice of… Iizuka.
"Kaoru… where is Kaoru!" Kenshin turned to Iizuka and asked him in a not so friendly tone."
"Hey… relax… She was always with you… how would I know?" Iizuka explained. Kenshin narrowed his amber eyelids. He clutches his hands so tight till his knuckles went white.
'I let her go again! Damn! I wasn't planning too! I can't believe it! How could I!' Kenshin scolded himself for letting Kaoru go. He stood up immediately. Ignoring the concern calling and persuasion, all he wants now is Kaoru… until he get her back into his embrace… he will not rest. He took his katana and took off immediately not caring about his companion's words and injury.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-
"Hajime… gomen." Kaoru whispered to the unconscious person lying on the futon. She strokes his cheek and then his hair. She was guilty stricken. It was all because of her that this happened. Not only Saitou got injured… Kenshin was also injured.
*****Flashback*****
"Souji! We have to stop them NOW! They will kill each other!" Kaoru cried out as she remembered the two most important people is fighting because of her. If anyone got hurt because of her… she wouldn't forgive herself.
"Leave it to me." Okita said as he broke into a run and blocked the incoming katana from the Battousai and Saitou.
"Get out of the way Okita!"
"Saitou san… Hijikata sama is waiting."
"Get ou-"
"Saitou san." Okita first time glared at Saitou making him back down.
"As for you Battousai. Go! Do not let us see you again."
"I'll not go without Kaoru!" Kenshin stubbornly insisted.
"Very persistence… but this will get you know where. Even if you were to take Kaoru chan with you… We the Shinsen Gumi will continue to find her and eventually kill you and her together. It will not do any good to the both of you. Please… stop." Okita said as he sheath his katana and went to Saitou's side and help him walk with balance as the both of them manage to injure each other unable to put an end towards each other's life but injuring it fatally.
Kaoru appear from the back street as she looked at Kenshin with sad eyes.
"Kaoru chan let's go." Kaoru nodded.
"Just a few moment. You and Hajime go first."
"But…"
"Onegai Souji chan." Without waiting for his response Kaoru went forward to Kenshin. Kaoru managed to smile a weak one for him. He smiled back while clutching his ribs.
"Daijobun?" Kaoru asked as she stood in front of him tracing his injuries with gentle touch.
"Aa… it'll be better if you are going to be with me. Kaoru… don't go… stay with me. Onegai." Kenshin asked in a hopeful voice. Kaoru just shook her head and soft sniffle started.
"I can't… not yet… I'll be by your side when the day comes… I promise… but I have to go now… as what Souji chan said… this is for the better for both of us. We will only hurt the ones nearest to us later on. The Shinsen Gumi… they will not tolerate betrayal. You know it… I know it. If I go with you now… not only will they hunt me down… they will kill you too… I cannot risk that."
"I don't care, I told you… I'll protect you." Kaoru just shook her head.
"Stop it… Stop protecting me… I don't you to get hurt while protecting me… I don't WANT IT!" Kaoru said as she turned her heels and ran away from him.
"KAORU! MATTE!" Kenshin was about to run for Kaoru but Iidzuka found him along with the remainding Ishin Shishi people.
*****Flashback end*****
"Kaoru chan…" A voice called from behind. Kaoru didn't need to turn around to see who it was.
"What is it Souji?" Kaoru dropped the 'chan' she always used. She was in no mood now.
"You haven't rested since yesterday night. Let me stay with Saitou san… you can go change and eat. You have not even touch any food not even water. It's bad for your health." Okita walked towards her as he placed a hand on her shoulder.
"Why are you… why are you still treating me so good? After knowing… that I betray the Shin-" Okita hearing this quickly clap his hand over her mouth to refrain her from continue. Kaoru pushed the hand away as held a hand over her mouth.
"Ow… what did you do that for."
"You wouldn't want Hijikata sama to hear that… now would you?" Okita said as he smiled his usual smile.
"Sou ne…" Kaoru said as her voice broke again.
"He's not waking up Souji… he's not… why?" Kaoru asked as she clenches her fist as her shoulders trembled.
"Kaoru… He will be fine… don't worry." Okita embraced her once again. He had always wanted to do that. Of course, he had liked her since the first day, but Kaoru hadn't notice it as he was always hiding his affections behind his smiling mask. He lost to Saitou… now he even lost to Battousai. How pathetic can life be at times. Suddenly Okita started coughing again. Kaoru quickly got out of his embrace.
"Daijobun? Why are you coughing again… I thought that it has stop? Souji chan…" Kaoru's eyes widen as she saw the red substance at the corner of his mouth.
"Blood… you are coughing blood! Quick we have to notice Hijikata sama about this!"
"I'm fine… It has been like this for a few weeks already. The doctor has confirmed… there is no cure for me… I might as well live my life to the fullest."
"What incurable disease?"
"Tuberculosis, the doctor's said that I won't live long… that's what the doctors predicted. Hijikata sama knows about it already. I don't want you to spread it… am I being understood?" Okita showed his stern face emphasizing how serious it was.
"Sou..ji.." Suddenly the sound of Saitou growling was heard. Kaoru and Okita quickly went to Saitou's side.
"Hajime…" Kaoru called out as she held onto his hand. Saitou soon opened his eyelid to find Kaoru and Okita looking intently at him. He felt a squeeze on his hand, then he found out Kaoru was holding his hand.
"Kamiya… leave me alone." Saitou said monotonously as he slips his hand off Kaoru's hold. Kaoru's heart wrenched in pain as she controlled her tears. She wasn't going to show how weak she was to Saitou. Maybe this was the reason why, she found Kenshin different from Saitou. It definitely was. Kenshin… she made her feel like she was a woman in a sense as for Saitou… she found that… she couldn't act as herself when she's around. As for Kenshin, she felt so comfortable doing things on her own way. Insulting him, running away from him and talking to him.
"What are you saying? I looked after you these two nights and all you could say is now calling my surname instead of our first name basis. I could use a little thank you here… Saitou San!"
"Kaoru chan… calm down… I don't think Sai-"
"Let me be alone Kamiya… Battousai and I got hurt… I am your fiancé for heavens sake… instead of helping me… you went to Battousai's side. What do you expect from ME!"
"FINE! Since you are so unhappy, then let's BREAK UP! Happy!" Without waiting for the response from Saitou she ran out of the room and to her room.
