Chapter 6



I looked out the window. My desk was always near the window.
I didn't have to pay attention to all the others thinking I was crazy. Well normally I would do that. Today I was looking out of the window for a different reason.
Would the past follow us here?

Well I would get my answer a few minutes later.
I saw a flicker in the sky. It looked like someone had just lit a candle in it.
And the flicker lit every cloud until finally a giant flame hit the ground with a SMACK!
Everyone jumped from their seats and began to panic. I did jump but then I turned and
ran to the back of the classroom where Aoshi, Misao, and Kenshin sat.

"We HAVE TO GET OUT OF HERE!" I yelled at them.

Kenshin nodded and said to us, "I'm going to get Sano and Megumi! You guys just run out of here!"
As we ran out of the classroom, Misao, Aoshi, and I turned to the right, while Kenshin ran to the left. We began to run down the stairs. It was right then when the past's sky flame struck the class that we'd just been in.

Misao turned around. "Oh my god. Not everyone was out of there yet!" She screamed
and began running back up the stairs. Aoshi grabbed her arm.
"We have to leave now!" He yelled out at her. I turned to him. That was the most worried tone I had ever heard him use ever before.
I remembered that Kenshin was on the other side of that. So I let Misao and Aoshi go ahead of me when I heard three familiar voices.

"What are they doing, Ken-san?"

"I don't know. But you and Sano go before me!"

"Kenshin that's the stupidest thing you've ever said!"

"JUST DO IT!"

"Alright, alright!"

I heard that much and I knew that they were coming. I stood on the stairs as
they faintly came into view.

I saw Sano, holding onto Megumi's hand and pulling her faster. I motioned for them to go ahead. Megumi nodded gratefully and I gave her what I could manage of a smile.
I looked back to try to find Kenshin.

He was running as fast as he could, but as he ran past the classroom again, a shot of sky fire flew out of the door, hitting him square in the side.

I got so angry at the past that if I had seen my past self just at that moment I would've killed her...
So I ran as quickly as I could and tried to help Kenshin up. He groaned painfully.

"Kenshin come on, please try to stand."

His eyes fluttered open. "I'm sorry Kaoru." He said in a hoarse voice. "I'm trying as hard as I can."

I sighed, it was a sigh of sadness and utter anger. I couldn't get him to stand. I then saw out of the corner of my eye another blast within out reach. I shielded Kenshin but soon I was thrown out of the way.

I looked back to what happened. There I saw someone blocking the attack.
I blinked as I asked, "Yahiko?"

Sure enough, he turned to me. I could almost see through him, it was liked his colors
had faded and he was still in his old outfit holding a shinai that had blocked the attack.

"I'm still on your side, Busu!" He winked at me and disappeared.

And I think that was and will be the only time ever where I'd appreciate being called 'busu'.

I took this opportunity to lean Kenshin on a railing and get him so that I could carry him out.
And as I finished descending down the stairs the fire took over the building...

***

I ran out of the door, at least as fast as I could run without hurting Kenshin.
I saw Aoshi waving to me and motioning for me to get into his van.
I nodded to him and ran a little faster.
"Hold on Kenshin, we'll be safe soon!" I told Kenshin, who managed a smile and
mouthed a 'thanks.'

As I climbed in the back of his car, I began to take Kenshin off of my back and laying him down on the seat. His left side, right before his waist, ha a larg gash in it and was dripping his blood onto the floor of Aoshi's van.

Megumi turned around from the middle seat that she was sharing with Sano. Her eyes grew wide.
"By the gods...what happened?"

I looked at her, "I'll tell you if you can hand me a cloth first." I told you, because I knew she always kept those around.
She nodded, got one out, and use some water from Misao's water bottle to wet it.
"Here."
"Thank you SO much." I said greatfully, taking the cloth from her and dabbing it on Kenshin's wound. He winced and let out a small cry of pain.

I almost broke down at hearing the pathetic sound in his voice. But I remembered what I supposed to say to Megumi. I turned to her and Sano, while Sano was just staring at Kenshin, wondering if his friend was going to be okay.

"Megumi, when he said go ahead, I think he knew what was going to happen. Just as he was running forward the sky fire shot out of the room and hit him there."

Megumi's mouth dropped open. Misao had heard the whole story and turned from the front seat while Aoshi winced in the drivers seat. But he couldn't take his eyes off of the road.

"I hope Himura will be okay..."

I looked at her worried eyes, "So do I Misao, and Past is going to pay DEARLY for this." I told her, my eyes flashing with anger, and if you didn't know better, you might've called ME Battousai.


A/N: She's not happy is she? This chapter was....believe it or not, fun to write.

Moonlight no Hime (my alter ego): You idiot Spellcaster!
Spellcaster: What?
MnH: You're being mean to Kenshin! ....AGAIN!
Spellcaster: Oh well...at least it's not my roleplaying missions ay? Sano would already
be dead by now...
MnH: YOU'RE HOPELESS! *goes off to apologize to Kenshin for my being mean to him.*

AND STAY GONE! Anyway, I just pictured Kenshin letting out that cry of pain, and I felt almost like Kaoru. My god I'm strange, aren't I? Oh well! REVIEW PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!
