CHAPTER 2: BREATHING
The lake shimmered with great elegance. Just as elegant as the young woman swimming in it.
The sun was reflecting at just the right angle to that the two people there looked like a few shadows.
The outline sitting on land seemed to fit Kenshin's silhouette, but what of the beautiful figure in the water?
It could've been Megumi...
Kenshin turned to the girl and the sun reflected off of his firemark, his scar.
"What ARE you doing?" Came his voice.
"UH, I'm swimming!" Came a voice that...didn't sound like Megumi's.
"I knew that, but why are you doing it in that dress of yours?"
"Because it's fun! Come on!" With that remark said, she grabbed his hand and pulled him into the water.
Just then the sun bounded up higher into sky as Kenshin flung his head out of the water and began laughing
with the girl in front of him.
It was Kaoru...
As their laughing faded, she planted a gentle kiss to his lips and dove backwards away.
Just then, the confused eyes of Kenshin opened and he woke up.
****
"Aoshi, take a look at this!" Misao said, a frightened tone in her voice.
"What is it?" Aoshi asked, approaching her.
"A force from earth is joining the freeze force of the hidden planet!"
"WHAT?"
"Yes, see? It's our fellow scientist's creation! Saitou's creation, Shishio, who was created
to serve as a backup to Kenshin!"
"So Saitou turned his back on us?"
"No, Shishio turned his back on Saitou. It doesn't matter if Saitou isn't exactly pleased with our
best creation, he wouldn't betray us like this. But somehow the freeze force corrupted Shishio
and now he's gone mad and will help the cycle of freezing the entire surface of the earth go as fast
as possible!"
"So this means..."
"...that a few battles between will happen." Misao finished. Then she added, "there will be no lessons today.
There will only be training, just in case a battle strikes."
Misao bit her bottom lip and focused her gaze to the ground. She didn't want anyone to see how worried she was.
Aoshi put his arm around her shoulder and whispered into her ear, "It'll be alright. I know it."
Misao closed her eyes, and nodded. She always did her best to believe him, and she would do it again now...
****
Kaoru took her jewel and set it on the top of her right hand. She concentrated and her water sword flew out of the small jewel.
"Technology is very helpful these days," she said, lunging an attack out of the water sword, not paying attention to where her aim was at.
"HEY, WATCH IT!" Sano said, barely dodging the attack.
"Oops, sorry Sanosuke!" Kaoru said, feeling stupid that she almost hit her match.
"Great attack Kaoru, but your aim STUNK!" Kenshin's voice came from behind her.
She whirled around and pointed her sword out, "Don't be so sure that my aim always stinks, you room destroyer."
"You're still on about that?" Kenshin asked, rolling his eyes.
"Well...it took me three hours to get them all off of the walls last night."
Kenshin's eyes grew wide, "............oh."
Kaoru blinked, "Hey Kenshin? Are you okay?"
Kenshin looked confused, "Why are you asking? Why would you CARE?"
"WELL, I CARE BECAUSE I...I mean YOU.... are a...a great friend of mine Kenshin!" Kaoru said, almost letting her hidden soul slip out for a sec. "And I'm asking because you don't look yourself today."
"Oh, I had a weird dream last night and was up the other half of the night thinking about the dream."
"Really now? Care to tell us?" Sano asked, smirking.
A blush began to creep onto Kenshin's face and he said, "No no, really...it's just fine..."
Kaoru cocked her head and shrugged. "I'll never understand you two," she said, and began practicing again.
Just as Kaoru was about to challenge Megumi to a duel, Misao came running into the room.
"Attack on field 6! Stop training! We need your help, come on!"
The four souls nodded and sealed their weapons in their hand jewels and ran off to fight.
****
Sano and Kaoru were fighting off of the demons sent towards them from the freeze force.
They got in by Shishio.
It was too obvious.
Suddenly a cry of pain was heard from the other direction. Kaoru's eyes widened as her system
felt who it was, "MEGUMI!"
Sano and Kaoru ran towards the scene.
Kenshin was holding Megumi close to him, fighting off the minions of the force. Her side was bleeding
harshly, causing Sanosuke and Kaoru to cringe at the sight of it.
Kenshin turned to them and mouthed out, "Help please!"
Kaoru got right on track. "Sanosuke, you take Megumi and protect her! Make sure she isn't hurt any worse!"
Sano nodded and swiftly, yet gently, lifted Megumi out of Kenshin's arms and away from the battle.
"Kenshin, you and I will finish this fight...together."
Kenshin smiled at her and they jumped into action, shooting attacks from their jewels and using their swords to destroy each and every one of the freeze minions.
The time came where there were four really powerful ones left. Like the two queens and two knights in chess, only they were all on the same side, against the elements. Well...TWO of them at least.
They were flying around the two warriors, disappearing and reappearing whenever they wanted too.
It was beginning to daze Kenshin and Kaoru to no end.
They shot a few more attacks and they got lucky on three. Now there was the fourth to deal with. It probably wasn't very strong, but its disappearing skills were extremely awesome.
Finally Kaoru sensed the minion; it was at aim and aiming straight for Kenshin!
Kaoru ran to the side of Kenshin and struck out her most powerful spell.
"TSUNAMI RUSH!" She called out as a large power of light and a large wave shot from her jewel and out her hands, towards the enemy. It shrieked and disintegrated.
Kaoru's energy was drained from her when she cast that attack, and she collapsed...only to fall into Kenshin's arms.
"Why did you do that for me Kaoru?" Kenshin asked, both confused and worried.
Kaoru looked up at him with weak eyes, "I didn't want you to be injured like...Megumi was..."
Kenshin opened his mouth to say something to her, but nothing came out. Just a worried breath escaped as Kaoru began to grow a bit more faint.
"She'll be okay!" Shouted Sano as he brought Megumi out onto the now safe battlefield.
A smile sprouted onto both Kenshin and Megumi's faces. Sano walked over to Kaoru and took her into his own arms while Megumi ran into Kenshin's. Kaoru looked up with the last of her strength just to see Kenshin and Megumi sharing a happy kiss. She turned into Sano's chest and let out a cry of pain. Sano assumed it was the spell, he could see she had used it. It was in her eyes. However, in her heart, Kaoru was crying for a deeper reason.
She took the image of Kenshin and Megumi into her unconsciousness......
A/N: Well was that a good chapter? I know terrible terrible ending but I just had to make the relationship between Kenshin and Megumi deeper because...well I do.
In case you didn't notice, there was a TEENSY bit of A/M in here. This is for DARKFAIRY, who helped me a bit with Kenshin's Dream, and also helped me name Kaoru's attack. ARIGATOU GOZAIMASU DARKFAIRY!
Well I hope you enjoyed this particular chapter, I will post again soon.
