"I would love too…." Kaoru eyes widen at his answer and flush a little.
"To make you my woman….." He crushed his body to hers.
"I want you…. So I suggest we better go home now…. Or I might go for desperate methods." Kaoru blushed deepen.
"Kenshin…. Don't leave me alone ne…. Don't leave me alone… never again…." Kaoru said as she returned his hug.
"Aa…. Aishiteru." Kenshin replied as he swept her up smoothly and ran back to his formal house with the person he loved in his hands.

Kaoru stirred in her sleep. Opening her eyes to a new environment. To a new ceiling. A new warmth. Kenshin had on of his hand in her hair and another one held her possessively around her waist. She lifted his crimson bangs away from his eyes. He seems to be peaceful in his sleep. She pecked him on the cheek and got up to change into a yukata. She went out to the porch.
Gaze up to the never changing red moon. Visions of responsibility flashed through the moon. She felt guilt tugging her heart. She closed her eyes and relaxed when the wind rose.
'Maybe I shouldn't promise what cannot be done.' Kaoru thought what she did previously with Kenshin. Exchanging love vows and promises. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist till her knuckles were white.
'No! I will not and do not intent to destroy my promise to Kenshin. I promise to come back to him always. And I will. But first…. I would have to leave…. Shinsen Gumi… the only way is to….'
Her eyes snapped open and caught the kunai in between her fingers easily. Just before it hit her face. There was a note attach to it. She saw the kunai and immediately knew whom it belongs to.
Susumu kun….
She opened the note.
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Kamiya Kaoru
You are now a traitor of the Shinsen Gumi. You will have only 1 day to consider about this decision. You know how does the Shinsen Gumi works. We will leave no hesitation even if you are the ex 2nd captain. Let me repeat. No hesitation. Meet us at the Shinto Shine near the mountainous area of Otsu. Tomorrow at 2 midnight.
Shinsen Gumi
Yamasaki Susumu
*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*
Kaoru folded the paper and slid it in her yukata. She knew she was being watched by the darkness. She glared to the far away tree where she knew Susumu was there spying on her. She was one of them before.
They would spy on their prey before pouncing on them at the best period. These were the actions the Mibu rou. She was one of the packs before… now… she was the prey
The shoji door slide open. Kenshin stood there panting.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Okita san…. How's Hajime's doing?" Okita smiled lightly at her.
"He will be fine. Please look after him. Don't let him roam around. I have to do my duty tonight." With that Okita slipped away. Tokio looked at his retreating back and nodded her head. She opened the door only to find Saitou crawling out of the futon reaching his katana.
"Hajime! You should be in bed!" Tokio rushed to his side.
"I'm not staying here while that bitch has all the fun."
"Kaoru's san happy with him! Let her go already! You will only going to make her feel even worst than before!" Tokio lost her demure self and stomp her feet.
"You are in no right to take away her happiness! She was always there for you once! You forsake it! You neglected her! Think Hajime! Would she leave you if you were a little better to her? It was your fault that Kaoru san ran away and now she's going to be track down! It was your selfishness and ego thinking Kaoru left you! You can blame no one but yourself!"
"Tokio……" Saitou speechless of her outburst.
"You can even say this in front of me! If Kaoru san haven't told me those things I would have given up on you! I can tell you something Hajime! You are one ungrateful little kid who won't let go of Kaoru although she has been gone! You pushed her towards to another guy! And you know it!" Tokio turned her heels and ran away with tears brimming in her eyes. Saitou stared at her disappearing figure in his own thought.
'Tokio… Was it true? It was my entire fault…. Was it really true? I pushed Kaoru to another man…. And now…' His mind came back to reality.
'TOKIO!' His mind screamed as he chased off to where Tokio ran to.
Tokio couldn't really see where she was going, she just kept running to where her legs carried her.
'Hajime no baka!' Tokio thought as she ran to wherever place was available. Suddenly running steps were heard.
"Tokio!" Saitou's sound boomed through the street. Tokio slowed down and turned. She saw Saitou running towards her shouting her name.
"You… came…." Saitou stopped in front of her.
"Aa… I'm sorry if I haven't notice you many years ago. I'm an idiot. I'm sorry… but please don't ever do that again." Saitou soften the first time in his whole life in front of a lady. He embraced her tight within his arms.
"Hajime…" She returned the hug as she snuggled closer.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
"Kaoru!" Kenshin went forward and hug her close to his chest.
"Kenshin? What happen?" Kaoru ground her forehead into her neck.
"…" Kenshin responded to her question with his heavy uneven breathing. Kaoru pulled away and pulled Kenshin into the room.
"Kenshin…. What happen? Had a nightmare?" Kenshin cringed his eyebrows and frown.
"I'm not a child. I'm a man." Kenshin announced when Kaoru started to asked whether he was alright. She was treating him as if he was a kid. For god sake. Kenshin showed off a feral grin.
"And I'll show you how much of a man I am!" Kaoru gave up a yelp when Kenshin pinned her on the futon.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"I am the new 2nd captain taking over Kamiya Kaoru. Nagakura Shinpachi." The new 2nd captain reported to Hijikata with Okita beside him.
"Very well. Your first job would be bringing the troops to Otsu. Assemble them near the Shinto shrine. We will see how Kamiya stand off. Ambush her during the route. Dismissed!" Hijikata said as he wave his hand to signal Nagakura to go prepare.
"Hijikata san…. Do we have to go to such drastic measures? Kaoru isn't a big threat I must say."
"You will take orders and not try to decide for me!" Hijikata reprimanded Okita.
"I'm sorry. But… Kaoru was once one of us." Hijikata signed as he stood up.
"As you have said. Once. She isn't now. She's strong Okita and you know it. Don't let your feelings get in the way. Kaoru will never come back." Hijikata finished and went out of the meeting room. Leaving to Okita pondered on his words.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Light invaded the room as Kenshin opened the shoji to wake the sleepyhead up.
"Kaoru! It's afternoon and you're still in bed!" Kenshin called out.
"Mmmmm. Coming." Kaoru got up very unwilling as she stretched her limbs.
"Kaoru… wear some clothes and make it fast. We have to complete some errands down Otsu." With that Kenshin slid the door close for some privacy.
"Otsu…." Kaoru can't really believe that she gave up everything for him. She wasn't complaining yet… she felt relieved of all these years. Soon she was in her kimono. She looked down at her kodachis.
'Should I or Should I not? That's the question." Kaoru looked at the kodachis and smiled.
"Let's give Kenshin a try to protect me for once ne. He sounded so confident. But…" Her eyes darken as her mind slip back to the Shinsen Gumi.
"Kaoru! Are you done??" Kenshin called from the main door.
"COMING!" Kaoru answered as she strode to the door.
'I just hope that I don't need today. Ja.' Kaoru bid goodbye to her kodachis and ran to Kenshin.
During that day, they met Iizuka on the way back. He gave them packets of medicine for them to sell.
"A couple selling medicine for a living is better than just living and doing nothing. It isn't that supicious." Iizuka said and ran away.
The both of them passed by a kimono and ribbon shop. Kaoru stopped for a moment there. Fascinated by the colours and different patterns of kimono along with contrasting ribbons. How she wished to get her hands on one of those.
"Kaoru?" Kaoru was brought back to reality. She jerked her head towards Kenshin. Eyes wide open.
"You like them?" Kenshin asked in casual tone.
"Iie… they are too expensive. Let's go home. I'm tired with today's errands." Kaoru lied to Kenshin. She just hoped he'll buy it. But on the other hand she wished that he would have bought the indigo ribbon which had caught her eye the very first moment.
"Oh… Then let's hurry home. It's going to snow soon. Just look at the sky." Kenshin pulled the reluctant Kaoru away from the beautiful shop. He smiled to himself. He knew from the moment that Kaoru stop that she loved one of the ribbons. She just wouldn't admit it.
'Expensive she says. Can't get a better excuse I guess.' Kenshin thought as he shook his head. He brought her home and cooked dinner together. The both of them were teasing each other and sort. Kenshin looked outside when the sun was setting.
"Kaoru. I'm going out for a little while. You stay here and have dinner ne."
"EH?? I wanna go with you!"
"No. You stay here." Kenshin said in an affirmation tone leaving no gaps for arguments. Kenshin left the house. Kaoru frown and a lone tear slid down her cheek.
'Please come back on time…. This was suppose to be our last dinner together.'
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
Hijikata state the plans towards who was suppose to ambush Kaoru and Battousai. Hijikata anticipated that Battousai would surely follow her once he was gone. Okita was one of them who need to fight off Kaoru. Saitou on the other hand fights off Battousai.
If Kaoru wants to leave the Shinsen Gumi. She has to go through the present 2nd captain and Okita. Her last stage was to fight off Hijikata.
For Battousai, He would have to go through Harada Sanosuke and Saitou Hajime. That would be long enough to store him.
His plan would sure to work. Killing the traitor and the best assassin of Ishin Shishi. Tonight was the card of triumph.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=
Kaoru waited as the clock ticked away. Awaiting for Kenshin's return.
"Kenshin… what's taking you so long??" Kaoru said out loud.
"Missing me already?" Came Kenshin's voice from behind. Kaoru turned her head to find her beloved standing there with a package in hand. Kaoru pouted.
"Where were you?"
"I went to get something for my little girl." Kenshin said grinning.
"I'm a woman! Not a girl." Kenshin took a menacing step forward her.
"Oh… show me then." Kaoru pushed him away and snatch the package from his hand.
She gingerly shook it. Ruffled sounds were heard.
"What's in it?"
"Open up and you'll know." Kenshin answered calmly opening the living room door to find his and her dinner. Not yet touched.
Kaoru opened the package slowly. A layer by a layer. Soon it revealed a certain indigo ribbon. Kaoru's mouth dropped.
"Like it?"
"I told you no before. This was expensive!" Kaoru said angrily but in her heart she was blooming with flowers.
"No? Then give it back, I could give it to some other-"
"No! I want them! I love them more than you!" Kaoru stuck her tougue out and made a 'bleh' sound and ran away.
'He bought it! I can't believe it! He bought it!' Kenshin was not far from her. He grabbed her from the back.
"GOTCHA!"
"Kenshin…. I'm hungry."
"Me too. Let me have you as dinner then." Kaoru giggled at it as he started fumbling with her obi.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=--=
Kaoru got up from her intimate position with the sleeping Kenshin. She stood up and wore her gi and hakama. Sliding her kodachis to her waist line. The indigo ribbon caught her eye. Kenshin had tied her hair with it just now. She placed the ribbon close to her heart. Tears streamed down her cheek. She went to Kenshin and kiss him tenderly on the lips one last time. Placing the ribbon beside him. Stood up and walked towards the door. Turning back one last time.
"Gomen nasai…. If I can…. I would once again hope to come back to be love by you. Sayonara… My second love." With that she slid the shoji close and walked to Shinto Shrine without turning back.

Kaoru stirred in her sleep. Opening her eyes to a new environment. To a new ceiling. A new warmth. Kenshin had on of his hand in her hair and another one held her possessively around her waist. She lifted his crimson bangs away from his eyes. He seems to be peaceful in his sleep. She pecked him on the cheek and got up to change into a yukata. She went out to the porch.
Gaze up to the never changing red moon. Visions of responsibility flashed through the moon. She felt guilt tugging her heart. She closed her eyes and relaxed when the wind rose.
'Maybe I shouldn't promise what cannot be done.' Kaoru thought what she did previously with Kenshin. Exchanging love vows and promises. She gritted her teeth and clenched her fist till her knuckles were white.
