Last time....
"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 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 Ms. 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.

Chapter 10: Awaken to Nothing
Kaoru woke to voices outside her room. She looked over towards her door and saw Sano and Magumi's outlines.
"Well?" came Magumi's voice. The outline of Sano nodded and Magumi ran out the door behind him. He walked out the other way.
'What did Sano do this time?' thought Kaoru, 'I better go and try to comfort Magumi.' But when she tried to sit up, pain ate at her from her shoulder all the way to her knee. She pulled of her covers and then her nightgown and saw a long, bright pink scar from her right shoulder, across her chest, and down to her left knee. She put her clothes back on and slowly walked to the door and went out, trying to ignore the pain. She walked slowly towards Magumi who was sitting on the porch.
"M-magumi? Are y-you okay?" she asked, surprised she was able to find her voice.
"Oh! Kaoru you're up!" she cried as she turned to her. Kaoru could see tears forming in her eyes.
"W-what did S-sano do to you n-now?" she asked as she sat down next to her.
"What? Oh...oh that. Well you see Kaoru....he did nothing...you see...this is not easy to explain...you had some problems in your head....and...and fell in love with Enishi and kissed him right in front of Kenshin," she explained, her head bent down.
"What! Where is Kenshin! I need to tell him I didn't mean to!" Kaoru cried as she jumped up.
"That's okay Kaoru. He understands what happened and is not mad at you. He was mad at Enishi so they decided to fight. Enishi was losing. But right before Kenshin was able to kill him, you, still brainwashed, jumped in front of Kenshin's attack. Luckly you lived and now only have that scar. Enishi fled and Kenshin brought you to my care," Magumi said as Kaoru sat back down. Her eyes were wide and her mouth was open. She stared at Magumi for a few, long moments.
"So...so where is Kenshin?" she asked. Magumi started to say something but hesitated. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath.
"Kaoru...Kenshin's gone."
