Chapter 4-The Count Down begins
"Oh Kami what will I do now? I never thought I would see Enishi again." Kaoru whispered to herself as she stood at the front of the gate to the dojo. 'Maybe if I make my way fast enough across the yard Kenshin will not see me till it is time for dinner.' Taking a deep breath Kaoru opened the door and hurried across the yard and to the house. As she removed her sandals her heart stop when she noticed that Kenshin laying out the table for dinner. "Welcome back Kaoru-dono dinner is ready and waiting. By the way how did your." Kenshin suddenly stopped what he was saying and the smile slowly slipped from his face and he had let a bowl crash to the floor as he looked at her disheveled form. She looked like worn doll that was thrown into the river; the front kimono around the knees was dirty with what look mud and grass stains and her socks where brown and still wet with mud. What caught his eye first was the tear streak down her face. "Kaoru are you alright what happened?" he asked with worry and concern on his face and in his eyes. "Kenshin I ." was all Kaoru could say as she looked into Kenshin eyes 'what will I do, oh Kami I don't know what to do?' About ready to break down and fall to the floor Kaoru felt a pair of arms gently lift her off her feet. "Kenshin what are you doing?" she asked questioning and a little surprised. "First I am taking you to the bath so that you can clean yourself up and then after you have eaten we will talk." Replied with a small smile on his face. "I can walk by myself you know Kenshin" Kaoru said sounding a little annoyed. "I know you can, but it is not often that I am able to hold you like this Kaoru." Kenshin whisper in her ear his lips barely touching her ear lobe. Putting on a weak smile to show that see was ok but inside Kaoru's heart began to feel like it was being torn apart by everything around her. "Kenshin where are Yahiko and Sano I thought that they would be here when I got back?" Kaoru asked trying to change the subject. "Well Yahiko is at the Akabeko because Tsubame is not feeling well so he offered to help out, and Sano is out gambling trying to win some money to pay off his depts." Kenshin said with a smile. Kaoru couldn't help but start giggling at the fact that Sano was trying to pay off his depts again. Then she realized that 'We are alone together!' as Kenshin opened the bathhouse door.

'Battousia!' was the only thing that was repeated over and over in Enishi's thoughts and in his mind an image of Kenshin smiling next Kaoru fueled his rage. Enishi had made brief stop back at the inn to pick up what he thought he had no need of earlier, his sword, and went out to the forest that was just out side of Tokyo. Trying to work off his frustration and anger about the recent news he had received but only and hour ago. The only thing on his mind were the words that came from Kaoru's lips 'Enishi in two days I'm suppose to get married.' Every time that those words repeated through his mind his anger grew fueling his hatred and empowering his every motion as he various Watoujutsu techniques. All Enishi could say was "Why!" over and over again quietly at first but steadily getting louder as he continued his movements. "Why the Battousia!" he screamed at the top of his lungs finally striking a tree with a powerful kick and sword combination splintering the midsection and causing it to fall. Afterward Enishi dropped his sword and fell to his knee and looked up at the sky remembering the first meeting that he and his beloved Kaoru had had in nine months.
(Flashback finally the part everyone is waiting for ^_^)
Everything started to go wrong when she started crying. "What is it?" he said with concern forming on his face. "Why are you crying?" She tried to push herself away from him, but was stopped as his embrace tighten slightly not trying to scare her.
"I was not sure if I would ever see you again." she cried.
"What do you mean, why would you even think that? What is it? Kaoru talk to me please." Enishi asked trying not to yell and unable to suppress this feeling he had in the center of chest and the worry that was in his voice. This time Kaoru manage to get out of his hold and she backed away trembling in as she said
"Enishi in two days I'm suppose to get married." after saying that put her hands up to her mouth and tried to muffle her sobs as Enishi stood about five feet away from her not moving or saying anything.
"What." was the only thing that could pass between Enishi's lips at that moment his teal eyes focused yet not focused in a wide glance on Kaoru shaky form for what seemed like hours but only a few seconds had passed. Enishi returned from his daze when he had noticed that Kaoru had fallen to her knees with her right hand still covering her mouth and the other was placed behind her as brace to support her weight. Enishi cover the distance between them quickly and kneeled in front of her trying to keep calm from the recent shock. But inside there was a small fire starting to burn fighting the old ash that now cover the old hatred that he once held in his heart it burned anew for this man who ever he was that had become his rival for Kaoru's affections.
"Kaoru, look at me." he said her name with passion but that passion had a lack of feeling and was reflecting the sadness that had yet to awaken to his true feelings. Kaoru just turned her head to left and down trying to avoid the next few moment 'I wish that I had never have come to this meeting, what will he do when he finds out that it is Kenshin?' She felt her heart tight in her agony of what to do right now the present moment.
"Kaoru I need to know who it is now please look at me." Enishi said with a growing fear of the possibilities and what he hoped would was not the conclusion 'Please Kami-sama don't let it be' was all that he could think of as he spoke to Kaoru. He then gently used one hand to remove her hand from her mouth and lifted her face so that their eyes would meet. As soon as he had touched her, she closed her eyes.
"Open your eyes" she heard him say and as she slowly opened her eyes to look at him she saw something familiar the look in his eyes they still held the passion and love for her that they had earlier but there was something else they were slowly beginning to whisper vengeance. Tears were still running down her face slowly and his touch was both desire and not. 'I thought I would never see you again' was all she could think of.
Unable to stand the silence any longer she spoke with her feelings "During our last days on the island you never said you would come for me, you did even let me know that you were alright, I waited for you to send me some sort of word that you would..." Her tears started flow with more force at the thought that she was abandoned.
"How could you think I would abandon you!" he said with now anger in his voice and beginning to show on his face not want to fight about the subject of abandonment he got straight to the point. "Tell me who you are suppose to marry in two days! It couldn't possibly be that guy name Sanosuke or is it someone I do not know, Kaoru you need to tell me who it is." as he said this he was searching for conclusions on who it could possibly be other than Kenshin, he started to become eractic and his grip on Kaoru's hand had tighten slight trying not to scare her but not will to release the only thing that he had left in his life. "I am not leaving Tokyo without you Kaoru, I realized that I need you in my life. Please tell me who you are going to marry." as Enishi said those word he pulled Kaoru in a one armed embrace and intertwined his fingers with the hand he removed from her mouth.
Letting her tears flow freely Kaoru let her headrest on Enishi's shoulder "Enishi I can't I just can't." she said with choked sobs.
"Kaoru I must know because as I said before I am not leaving Tokyo without you." In a small weak voice she whispered the name that has changed both of their lives more than once "Kenshin" was all that she could say. As soon as his name was uttered Enishi dropped his arm from around Kaoru and let go of her hand and all he could do was look at her for a long time until he stood pulling Kaoru to her feet as well. He then looked at Kaoru with mixed emotion inside there was a feeling of betrayal and love for the woman standing before him and hatred for the man waiting for her back at the dojo. 'I will deal with him myself and this time he will not win.'
"I want you to meet me at this same bridge tomorrow at 10:00 a.m. we need to talk," he said as he started to walk back up to the street when he turned back around "if you do not come I will come and get you." was the last thing he said as he looked back at Kaoru she was still crying but he had to get away before he did something drastic not to her but to HIM before he had time to think things through himself.
(End flash back)
'I am not going to wait till tomorrow I must see her tonight.' with that in mind Enishi got back to his feet and grabbed his sword along with his jacket that he had on earlier and went back to the inn to clean himself up for his unannounced visit.
