Note: Hehehe! I like to be evil!

Last time....

Kenshin raised his sword, blade side, and was bringing it down when something yelow flashed in front of him. He tired to stop but it was too late. The blade slashed through the yellow. Enishi's eyes opened wide and he ran in fear. Kenshin stood there, staring at the yellow and bloodred on the floor by his feet. Kenshin had just slaughtered Kaoru.

Chapter 9: Explations

"Will she be okay?" asked Kenshin as he looked down at a sleeping Kaoru.

"She'll be fine after a few weeks of rest. She's very lucky that he didn't kill her," answered Magumi as she stood up to leave, "I believe Sano wanted to talk to you.....good-night Kenshin," she went to the door and walked out while Sano walked in. He sat down next to Kenshin and stared at him for a few moments.

"Enishi didn't strike Kaoru did he Kenshin? You did," said Sano.

"Yes....*sigh* I was about to kill Enishi when she jumped in front of him. She must of still have been spellbound. I didn't want to tell Yahiko or Magumi what really happened so I just said Enishi did it. I'm sorry for lying to you Sano that I am," replied Kenshin as he looked into Kaoru's sleeping face, "Luckily she wasn't killed. I very happy that Ms. Megumi was so nearby that I was."

"But why did Kaoru try and save Enishi's life?" asked Sano as he scrached his head.

"To get to me. You see, that one night when Kaoru was chasing Yahiko and said something hit her in the arm, someone must have injected her with my blood and a special formula. I'm guessing it was Jen'eh because he had attacked me and got my left arm all bloody and took some of my blood. It must have made her think she was the Battousai so she tried to kill me. I saw her trying to kill me and she saw me trying to kill her. In the end, our love for each other broke the curse but when Enishi arrived yesterday, it must have triggered something. Making her think she was the Battousai again," explained Kenshin.

"So she didn't really know what she was doing. Kenshin what are you going to do now?" asked Sano as he started for the door.

"I'm going to *whisper* *whisper*" replied Kenshin as he too stood up.

"No way! What if Enishi comes back?" cried Sano.

"He won't. He'll go to Kyoto," answered Kenshin, "Now Sano I suggest we leave Kaoru now so she can sleep in peace. Would you like for me to come and talk at your place?" he asked as the headed for the gate.

"Sure. I need to try and change your mind!" Sano said as the walked through the gate.

Meanwhile....

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SHE WAS KILLED?! SHE WASN'T SPOSED TO SACRIFICE HERSELF!"

"I was so shocked I ran. Sorry doc."

"Well....now we just need a new plan. Let me think over it awhile. In the mean time you need to stay away from that dojo. Oh and here take this. After you drink this she won't be in love with you anymore."

"Why should that matter? She's dead."

"Do you want her soul following you around?"

*small pause* *gulp* *gulp*

"I thought so."

Back at the dojo......

"Yahiko would you like to stay at my house tonight?" asked Megumi as she walked him toward her house.

"Why would I do that? Kenshin and Kaoru will be at the dojo so I wouldn't be alone," replied Yahiko sarcastcly.

"Well....Kenshin needs some time to himself....and I might need your help with some of my patients," said Megumi thinking he might enjoy that.

"You mean I could help you? Like a doctor?" asked Yahiko, with a hint of intrest in his voice.

"Well actually you would be my nurse," answered Megumi chuckling.

"What! I don't want to be a nurse!" shouted Yahiko as the approached the doors to the clinc.

"We'll figure something out. Okay?" she said, her eyes he could see were pleading him.

"Fine," replied Yahiko as he followed Megumi through the clinc gate.

"Please go inside and wait for me there for a second Yahiko," she asked as she stood just outside the gate.

"Fine whatever," he replied as he walked inside. Megumi turned and looked toward Sano's house where he and Kenshin were talking. Sano had told her what Kenshin had decided to do.

"Please Kenshin....please change your mind."
