"I will come back… I promise you… I don't want anything else but you…" Kaoru said as she kissed his forehead.
Kenshin cupped her face as he pulled her down for another electrifying kiss.
"Kaoru… meet me at the bridge we met Katsura sama. At midnight na." Kenshin said as he tucked a wayward hair behind her ear as he planted a soft kiss on her lips. Kaoru nodded her head as she turned around and went towards the Shinsen Gumi hideout. She turned behind and waved at Kenshin.
'Yes… I don't want anything else but Kenshin now… even if I am to be branded as a traitor... I want to be with him till the day that I die.'

Kaoru had soon come back and was backing up only necessary items. Which was another kimono and along with a gi and hakama. She sat down beside the window and looked out. Everything was the same. Dark street alley, the shining stars and the never ever changing crimson moon. She gave out a sigh and walked towards the table. Dipped her brush in and started writing a letter… to Tokio.
Tokio san,
I thank you for knocking some sense into me. I really appreciate it and at last I can put down this burden in my heart. I can at last set Saitou free. Now I know what true happiness is. I know you might be thinking that I am babbling nonsense… but Tokio san… I some how feel that… you might be the one that will make Saitou happy for a matter of fact. Please do not take this wrongly… I really mean it. You are always more refined and polite than me… you can make Saitou forget about me… and I have someone who can make me forget about Saitou… I think that Saitou will like you after he has got to know you. I'll… be somewhere around Japan by the time you see this. We may not get to see each other again. But I give blessing to you in what ever you do. Good Luck and Goodbye. Take care. Please tell Saitou… that I'm not sorry for what I have chosen… but I'm sorry that it had hurt him on the way. Please bid my farewell to Okita chan, Sano and the rest… Arigatou… for everything.
Kamiya Kaoru
Kaoru finished the letter and waited for it to dry. She will soon be with her cute little lover. Himura Kenshin. Who on earth would have thought about it. He the Hitokiri Battousai, she the second captain of the Shinsen Gumi… the both of them should be sworn enemies. Kaoru giggled at the thought. Just then the door banged open. Kaoru stood up at glared at the person only to find that it was Saitou.
"Kaoru… we need to talk…" Saitou said in a soft voice.
"So we are back to the first name basis again I suppose Saitou san." Kaoru said mockingly.
"Kaoru… please we need to talk."
"If I have remembered correctly… you have told me to leave you alone, and I told you that we broke up…. Saitou san!" Kaoru said in monotone as she looks away from Saitou and folded the letter up and placed it in her obi.
"What's that?"
"None of your concern!" Kaoru said as she went to the window and plop herself down.
"Kaoru… Let's stop this game… now… Tokio has told me how you reacted earlier this afternoon. I'm sorry…"
"Ara… Saitou san… I didn't know you care… but it's too late." Kaoru looked away.
"What do you mean late?"
"It's late and I want to sleep. Get out of my room!" Kaoru yelled at Saitou. Okita in the next room of Kaoru heard all the commotion and quickly got out and handle it.
"What! Hey! I'm apologizing here!"
"Saitou san… shouldn't you be in bed… you can't move around!" Okita tried to push him but instead Saitou flung him inside the room where he hit the table.
"Souji!" Kaoru quickly went towards him and helped him up.
"Wow… I didn't expect that coming…" Okita smiled at her while Kaoru sweat dropped.
"Daijobun?" Okita nodded and smiled sheepishly.
"I guess I broke your table." Kaoru just shrugged her shoulders and stood in front of him.
"Saitou san… I would appreciate if we talk things out in the morning… not now…"
"Saitou san… I do agree with Kaoru chan… It's going to be midnight soon… We need some sleep." Okita agreed as he pulled Saitou out of the room. Kaoru sighed and looked at the mess Saitou had created.
'That ahou!' Kaoru thought as she started arranging things back to way they were. It took quite sometime. Kaoru took another look at her room and smiled ruefully.
'It's time to go.' The thought of Kenshin made her smile wider. She went to the cupboard and picked her small bag and carried it over her shoulders. She took out the letter and placed it in the middle of the room.
She went to the window side. She jumped out of it and landed softly outside the inn. After she was out… she sprinted all the way to their meeting place. To find a red headed person standing there staring up on the sky. His face as handsome as ever. She ran faster than her legs could carry. Suddenly Kenshin straighten his back and looked at her direction. His face lit up with a big grin. Kaoru threw herself onto Kenshin.
"I thought you wouldn't come." Kenshin explained as he hugged her tight.
"Baka… I told you already… I want nothing else but you." Kaoru looked up and kiss him lightly. Kenshin smiled from ear to ear.
"Shall we go now?" Kenshin asked as he took her bag and carried it for her. Kaoru nodded and held on to his hand afraid that he would let go any moment.
'Otsu… with Kenshin…'
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Kaoru san… your breakfast is ready." Tokio said through the shoji. When no replied came. She tried again more louder this time.
"Kaoru san?" again there was no response. She decided to check it out. She slid open the door with one hand.
"Kaoru… san?" Tokio scanned the whole room but there was no sign of Kaoru only a letter address to her. She had a bad feeling for this. She placed the tray of food down and started reading the letter's content. After reading it, the letter trembled in her hand. Her mind was blank.
'Kaoru san had run away, doesn't she know that she would be branded as s traitor? Does she know that once Hijikata sama finds out about this… she will be hunted down… doesn't she knows that she will set a bad example among the rest of the members? What is she trying to do?" Tokio couldn't think straight. She read the contents again and again.
'True happiness?" Tokio started calming down.
"With who?" Tokio thought as she had never known about the time when Kaoru had been sent to be an undercover.
"Kaoru?" Saitou called and open the door to find Tokio kneeling on the floor with a piece of paper on her hand.
"Tokio, what are you doing here and where is Kaoru."
"Saitou san!" Saitou winced a bit when she called him that.
"Call me Hajime like you used to when we were young.. I prefer it better… so where's Kaoru?" Saitou asked his childhood friend who was obviously trying to find an appropriate excuse. Saitou arched an eyebrow.
"So?"
"Erm… eto… eto… she… went… out… to.."
"To?" Saitou urged her on to say some more.
"to… tofindherhappiness." Tokio said it in one breath but Saitou being trained as a swordsman heard what she had said perfectly.
"Find what happiness?"
"True happiness?" Tokio smiled ruefully at Saitou. Then realization kicks into Saitou.
"Battousai…"
"Eh? What did you say?" Tokio asked again as she held on to the letter tighter. Saitou eyes immediately dart to the letter.
"Give me the letter!" Saitou demanded as he walked towards Tokio.
"Hai…" Tokio hated to do this to Kaoru but… she couldn't upset the one she has loved since young. She handed the letter over.
"Not sorry for what she has chosen… what a joke! Where is she?" Saitou demanded more than asked Tokio about it.
"I… I don't know." Tokio said as she bowed her head low.
"That stupid bitch!" Saitou said as he crushed the letter and threw it on the tatami mat as he sprinted out the hideout off to find Kaoru.
'I hope you know what you are doing… Kaoru san.' Tokio thought as she ran to Okita's room to ask him for help.
'She rather chooses Battousai and betrayal than to be with me… I shall kill Battousai and bring you back!" Saitou swore to himself as he ran down the street looking for Kaoru.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=
"Kenshin… how much longer?" Kaoru whined in complain. Kenshin just chuckled. They had been walking for half a day already.
"Otsu is a two day journey for your information my dear." Kenshin chuckled as he continue walking.
"EH! Two days! Mou!!" Kaoru whined further as she clutched onto Kenshin's sleeve and continue walking behind him.
"With your speed, I'm afraid that it might last for three weeks." Kenshin joked.
"I don't think it is funny Himura Kenshin!" Kaoru pouted her face as she let go of Kenshin's gi and walked by herself. Kenshin just smiled at her.
"We can rest here for a few minutes if you want to…" Kenshin said as he suddenly found Kaoru in his arms again.
"Really! I LOVE YOU!" Kaoru said as she gave him a peck on his cheek and ran to a nearby river.
"I love you too." Kenshin replied softly and sighed as he saw how Kaoru ran to the stream. Suddenly an evil plot came onto his mind. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"Ken… shin?" Kaoru seeing this sense something very wrong about his actions. Kenshin continued walking towards her and swooped her up effortlessly.
"Kenshin what are you doing? Put me down this instant!" Kaoru screamed at Kenshin as he walked further into the river.
"You sure?" Kenshin asked again.
"Um.. Nononono! Don't put me down!" Kaoru said as she held onto Kenshin's shoulder.
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Because… because… you love me?" Kaoru tried her luck… but wasn't any good at it as soon all she could see was water all over her and only Kenshin's laughter could be heard.
"MOU! KENSHIN NO BAKA!" Kaoru pounced on Kenshin making him wet too.
"Kaoru!" Kaoru was happily giggling away on top of him. She hadn't realized that Kenshin's purple hue now changed to those amber slits.
Kaoru also hadn't realized that her kimono was sticking on to her body like a second skin. The front part of her kimono had also parted a little which revealed a little of her bindings. Kenshin underneath her had a really good view there.
'I think I can get used to this.' Kenshin thought happily as Kaoru stop laughing as she gasps when Kenshin caught hold of her.
"Ken..shin.." Kaoru stopped and tilt her head to the side. Kenshin pulled her down, immediately crushing his lips to hers. Locked in a passionate kiss…. The both of them hadn't realized that a pair of eyes that filled with jealously and hatred watching them. The figure walked another step forward clutching his katana in hand. A twig snapped as he charged forward.
"DIE! BATTOUSAI!" The both of them jerk out of their positions. Having blessed reflexes Kenshin managed to carry Kaoru and jump out of the way landing safely at the shore.
"Hajime…" Kaoru called out Saitou first name basis as she got off Kenshin's hold.
"Battousai! I gonna kill you first and then….." Saitou looked at Kaoru.
"I'll take you back with me!" Saitou prepared his stance.
"Stop it! Haji…. I mean… Saitou san!" Kaoru change the name calling back to his surname. Saitou winced at the change and clutched his katana tighter.
"Kaoru….. I didn't know you like the excitement of loving two at once. Battousai….. if you are considering of making her your woman… maybe you should think twice… my advice." After saying that Saitou charged forward. Kenshin was about to counter attack when a figure stood in front of him and he was being pushed aside.
"Kaoru!" The incoming katana couldn't stop in time. Saitou widen his eyes.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY WOMAN!!!" Saitou shouted. The katana was at mid way… there was no way it could be stop. Saitou couldn't do anything about it….. He couldn't stop it.
"Kaoru!" Kenshin ran to Kaoru as fast as possible. But it was going to be too late… he knew it though he didn't want to acknowledge the true. He couldn't handle it… he knew it.
'This was the way it was supposed to be…..' Kaoru thought as she close her eyes awaiting for the incoming katana. Instead it was a clang of two katana clashing together.

Tokio san,
I thank you for knocking some sense into me. I really appreciate it and at last I can put down this burden in my heart. I can at last set Saitou free. Now I know what true happiness is. I know you might be thinking that I am babbling nonsense… but Tokio san… I some how feel that… you might be the one that will make Saitou happy for a matter of fact. Please do not take this wrongly… I really mean it. You are always more refined and polite than me… you can make Saitou forget about me… and I have someone who can make me forget about Saitou… I think that Saitou will like you after he has got to know you. I'll… be somewhere around Japan by the time you see this. We may not get to see each other again. But I give blessing to you in what ever you do. Good Luck and Goodbye. Take care. Please tell Saitou… that I'm not sorry for what I have chosen… but I'm sorry that it had hurt him on the way. Please bid my farewell to Okita chan, Sano and the rest… Arigatou… for everything.
Kamiya Kaoru
Kaoru finished the letter and waited for it to dry. She will soon be with her cute little lover. Himura Kenshin. Who on earth would have thought about it. He the Hitokiri Battousai, she the second captain of the Shinsen Gumi… the both of them should be sworn enemies. Kaoru giggled at the thought. Just then the door banged open.

"Kaoru… we need to talk…" Saitou said in a soft voice.

"If I have remembered correctly… you have told me to leave you alone, and I told you that we broke up…. Saitou san!" Kaoru said in monotone as she looks away from Saitou and folded the letter up and placed it in her obi.

"None of your concern!" Kaoru said as she went to the window and plop herself down.
"Kaoru… Let's stop this game… now… Tokio has told me how you reacted earlier this afternoon. I'm sorry…"
"Ara… Saitou san… I didn't know you care… but it's too late." Kaoru looked away.
"What do you mean late?"
"It's late and I want to sleep. Get out of my room!" Kaoru yelled at Saitou. Okita in the next room of Kaoru heard all the commotion and quickly got out and handle it.
"What! Hey! I'm apologizing here!"
"Saitou san… shouldn't you be in bed… you can't move around!" Okita tried to push him but instead Saitou flung him inside the room where he hit the table.
"Souji!" Kaoru quickly went towards him and helped him up.
"Wow… I didn't expect that coming…" Okita smiled at her while Kaoru sweat dropped.
"Daijobun?" Okita nodded and smiled sheepishly.
"I guess I broke your table." Kaoru just shrugged her shoulders and stood in front of him.
"Saitou san… I would appreciate if we talk things out in the morning… not now…"
"Saitou san… I do agree with Kaoru chan… It's going to be midnight soon… We need some sleep." Okita agreed as he pulled Saitou out of the room. Kaoru sighed and looked at the mess Saitou had created.
'That ahou!' Kaoru thought as she started arranging things back to way they were. It took quite sometime. Kaoru took another look at her room and smiled ruefully.
'It's time to go.' The thought of Kenshin made her smile wider. She went to the cupboard and picked her small bag and carried it over her shoulders. She took out the letter and placed it in the middle of the room.
She went to the window side. She jumped out of it and landed softly outside the inn. After she was out… she sprinted all the way to their meeting place.

"I thought you wouldn't come." Kenshin explained as he hugged her tight.
"Baka… I told you already… I want nothing else but you." Kaoru looked up and kiss him lightly. Kenshin smiled from ear to ear.
"Shall we go now?" Kenshin asked as he took her bag and carried it for her. Kaoru nodded and held on to his hand afraid that he would let go any moment.
'Otsu… with Kenshin…'

"Kaoru san… your breakfast is ready." Tokio said through the shoji. When no replied came. She tried again more louder this time.
"Kaoru san?" again there was no response. She decided to check it out. She slid open the door with one hand.

"Tokio, what are you doing here and where is Kaoru."
"Saitou san!" Saitou winced a bit when she called him that.
"Call me Hajime like you used to when we were young.. I prefer it better… so where's Kaoru?" Saitou asked his childhood friend who was obviously trying to find an appropriate excuse. Saitou arched an eyebrow.
"So?"
"Erm… eto… eto… she… went… out… to.."
"To?" Saitou urged her on to say some more.
"to… tofindherhappiness." Tokio said it in one breath but Saitou being trained as a swordsman heard what she had said perfectly.
"Find what happiness?"
"True happiness?" Tokio smiled ruefully at Saitou. Then realization kicks into Saitou.
"Battousai…"
"Eh? What did you say?" Tokio asked again as she held on to the letter tighter. Saitou eyes immediately dart to the letter.
"Give me the letter!" Saitou demanded as he walked towards Tokio.
"Hai…" Tokio hated to do this to Kaoru but… she couldn't upset the one she has loved since young. She handed the letter over.
"Not sorry for what she has chosen… what a joke! Where is she?" Saitou demanded more than asked Tokio about it.
"I… I don't know." Tokio said as she bowed her head low.

'She rather chooses Battousai and betrayal than to be with me… I shall kill Battousai and bring you back!" Saitou swore to himself as he ran down the street looking for Kaoru.

"Kenshin… how much longer?" Kaoru whined in complain. Kenshin just chuckled. They had been walking for half a day already.
"Otsu is a two day journey for your information my dear." Kenshin chuckled as he continue walking.
"EH! Two days! Mou!!" Kaoru whined further as she clutched onto Kenshin's sleeve and continue walking behind him.
"With your speed, I'm afraid that it might last for three weeks." Kenshin joked.
"I don't think it is funny Himura Kenshin!" Kaoru pouted her face as she let go of Kenshin's gi and walked by herself. Kenshin just smiled at her.
"We can rest here for a few minutes if you want to…" Kenshin said as he suddenly found Kaoru in his arms again.
"Really! I LOVE YOU!" Kaoru said as she gave him a peck on his cheek and ran to a nearby river.
"I love you too." Kenshin replied softly and sighed as he saw how Kaoru ran to the stream. Suddenly an evil plot came onto his mind. He was grinning from ear to ear.
"Ken… shin?" Kaoru seeing this sense something very wrong about his actions. Kenshin continued walking towards her and swooped her up effortlessly.
"Kenshin what are you doing? Put me down this instant!" Kaoru screamed at Kenshin as he walked further into the river.
"You sure?" Kenshin asked again.
"Um.. Nononono! Don't put me down!" Kaoru said as she held onto Kenshin's shoulder.
"Why shouldn't I?"
"Because… because… you love me?" Kaoru tried her luck… but wasn't any good at it as soon all she could see was water all over her and only Kenshin's laughter could be heard.
"MOU! KENSHIN NO BAKA!" Kaoru pounced on Kenshin making him wet too.
"Kaoru!" Kaoru was happily giggling away on top of him. She hadn't realized that Kenshin's purple hue now changed to those amber slits.
Kaoru also hadn't realized that her kimono was sticking on to her body like a second skin. The front part of her kimono had also parted a little which revealed a little of her bindings. Kenshin underneath her had a really good view there.

The both of them hadn't realized that a pair of eyes that filled with jealously and hatred watching them. The figure walked another step forward clutching his katana in hand. A twig snapped as he charged forward.
"DIE! BATTOUSAI!" The both of them jerk out of their positions. Having blessed reflexes Kenshin managed to carry Kaoru and jump out of the way landing safely at the shore.
"Hajime…" Kaoru called out Saitou first name basis as she got off Kenshin's hold.
"Battousai! I gonna kill you first and then….." Saitou looked at Kaoru.
"I'll take you back with me!" Saitou prepared his stance.
"Stop it! Haji…. I mean… Saitou san!" Kaoru change the name calling back to his surname. Saitou winced at the change and clutched his katana tighter.
"Kaoru….. I didn't know you like the excitement of loving two at once. Battousai….. if you are considering of making her your woman… maybe you should think twice… my advice." After saying that Saitou charged forward. Kenshin was about to counter attack when a figure stood in front of him and he was being pushed aside.
"Kaoru!" The incoming katana couldn't stop in time. Saitou widen his eyes.
"GET OUT OF THE WAY WOMAN!!!" Saitou shouted. The katana was at mid way… there was no way it could be stop. Saitou couldn't do anything about it….. He couldn't stop it.
"Kaoru!" Kenshin ran to Kaoru as fast as possible. But it was going to be too late… he knew it though he didn't want to acknowledge the true. He couldn't handle it… he knew it.
