This Is Called Fate, Boys and Girls Chapter 4- Visitor from A Dream
Kenshin walked sadly towards Sano's little apartment, Kaoru on his mind. 'You baka! Why didn't you do something after Kyoto! It was obvious that she loved you. But noooo, you just had to go and make up all those stupid reasons why you couldn't love her. It really came back and bit you in the ass, didn't it?' The Battousai side of him sneered, and Kenshin shoved him roughly out of his mind. Turning the corner and approaching the door to Sano's home, he sighed. Going up and knocking on the screen, he waited for a response. The door slid open and Sano's head poked out. Seeing Kenshin standing there, with a bag in hand and a depressed look on his face, he immediately guessed what had happened.
"Che, Kenshin. I guess you left again, huh? How did Jou-chan take it?" Sano said quietly, and winced as Kenshin's face did a little spasm, the pain showing clearly in his eyes.
"Hai, sessha did leave, Sano. Kaoru-dono did not take it well, sessha is afraid. Ano, sessha was wondering if he could stay here for the night. Sessha will leave Tokyo in the morning." Kenshin sighed sadly again. He would have to wander, again. More years of begging things off people, and sleeping in the open. Great.
"Hai, Kenshin, you can stay here for the night. Come on in."
Sano opened the door wider, and revealed Yahiko sitting in a corner, hugging his knees to his chest. Kenshin was astounded. Yahiko, for the first time in his life, looked lost, afraid, and had tears in his eyes.
"This has torn apart our lives, hasn't it?" Sano said bitterly, his eyes cold. "And it's all because of that Daisuke bastard. That ass-kissing, horse-shit eating-"
"Sano, stop." Kenshin said quietly. "We should not talk that way about Kaoru-dono's fiancée, that we should." Kenshin gritted out the word fiancée, and he scowled for a brief second.
Sano shut up, and Kenshin sat down beside Yahiko, who looked away from him.
"Why?" Yahiko choked out, eyes overflowing. "Why didn't you do something, Kenshin? I thought you were strong. Why are you running away from Kaoru, from US??" He cried, and looked into Kenshin's eyes, which were a sad purple
"Sessha apologizes, Yahiko-kun. Sessha can't do anything, because Kaoru- dono leads her own life. Sessha cannot control it for her. She decided to have her life with Daisuke-san, and sessha cannot change that." Kenshin whispered, and this time looked away. "If you don't mind, sessha will go to sleep now, and get a good start in the morning. Oyasumi nasai, Sano, Yahiko- kun."
"Aa," Sano agreed. "We should go to sleep as well, Yahiko. It's been a long day. Oyasumi nasai, Kenshin."
Kenshin nodded and sat against the wall, his sword propped against his shoulder, in his position when he slept while he was a hitokiri. Sano and Yahiko rolled out futons and climbed in, the little apartment uncomfortably cramped. Yahiko, half asleep already, caught a glance at Kenshin's face before dropping off to sleep. Kenshin's eyes were a chilling, golden amber.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenshin was standing in a fog, the mist surrounding him and obscuring everything from sight. He walked slowly around in the white mist, hand going to his sword. An ice-cold breeze flitted over his neck, and he spun around, this time drawing the sword out of the sheath, in one solid, smooth motion. He saw nothing, and turned around again, to see a person in front of him. Kenshin's eyes widened, seeing something he thought he would never see again.
"T-Tomoe??" Kenshin stuttered, purple eyes disbelieving.
"Aa, anata, it is me. I have come to you to give you a message. Listen carefully." Tomoe said, her face a blank mask.
"H-Hai," Kenshin stuttered again, still surprised. "Demo, Tomoe, where are we?"
"We are in the land of dreams, husband. I do not have much time, so just listen to my message, and ask questions after." Kenshin could hear a note of urgency in her voice, and decided to keep quiet for the time being.
"Kenshin, Kamiya Kaoru, the one you love, is in grave danger. The man you met yesterday is not all that he seems. Go to the dojo at once, and save her. This message is from her father, and he also says that he wants you, Kenshin, to be with her always. He gives you both his blessing. Go, now, and meet your fate, Kenshin." Tomoe said, her voice echoing in the white blanket that was over them. She started to fade, and Kenshin reached desperately towards her.
"TOMOE!" Kenshin screamed, running forward, and fell off a cliff, dropping into blackness.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kenshin woke up, sweating bullets and panting hoarsely. The moon shone into the dark little room, illuminating the three people. Kenshin looked around frantically, not remembering where he was, and relaxed, realizing that he was in Sano's apartment. Tomoe's words came back to him, and he bolted up, his heart going into his throat. 'Kaoru! I need to go to her! Kami-sama, I hope I can get there in time!' Grabbing his sword and slipping noiselessly out of Sano's home, he started to sprint for the Kamiya Dojo, a red streak in the silent night.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kaoru sat on her futon, miserable. A shadow appeared outside her door, and she stared at it, fear, and also hope, leaping into her mind. Standing slowly, she walked over and slid the rice paper screen open a crack, seeing what was outside her door. A black- gloved hand clamped over her mouth, and Kaoru immediately began to struggle, eyes wide. The man shoved a cloth into her face, and Kaoru breathed in a sweet- smelling purfume. Kaoru's eyes rolled back into her head, and she fell uncouncious, the man clothed in black catching her easily. Heaving her onto his shoulder, he slipped out of her bedroom and out into the yard, stabbing a note with a dagger to the front door. Turning, he went out the front gate and into the dark streets, a black shadow.
