Disclaimer: Me very sowwy, but I don't own Rurouni Kenshin, and none of his really cool characters. I wished I did though, a gurl a can only dream.

Hey fans thanks too a lot of you, you keep me writing and, trying new things out and learning new things along with the good and the bad. I'm terrible sorry if some of you seem lost in my story, like I said before this is my first time writing, and if you haven't noticed I'm the best in the world and I do make a lot of mistakes. Again I apologize, I surely hope that I will get better, god knows I want to get better, but being great write doesn't come over night. Well thanks for supporting me even though my story sucks, (coughs) but I will not give up and I will continue to write in order to improve not give up.

Thank you for your time, and patincence, here is the next chapter, I hope you like it and please review so, I can become a better writer.

*Kaoru's Dream*

Kaoru walked aimlessly down the halls of the dojo, darkness only being her company, as she turned another corner only meeting the clock that read 11:14pm. Kaoru turned around only to find Suberu-chan, It looks like he speaking but I can't hear a word he's saying. Whets wrong with me, please don't tell me it's the same dream again, running in Yahiko's room, nothing totally empty, running in Kenshin' s room, nothing, his room also empty without a sign of his existence. " Where is everyone, can anybody hear me!!!!!!" please, god no, not again, I don't want to be alone, please don't leave me alone.

"Please somebody!! Anybody... I don't want to be alone again... please don't leave me alone."

All of a sudden everything was gone and only a nine, year chibi Kaoru stood, hair swaying back and forth from the side, no ribbon only midnight black hair. Finally finding a corner, chibi Kaoru bent down, and rapped her arms around her baby like legs. Only hoping that the darkness would soon go away... and only hoping to find somebody to wake her up from this hellish dream, before it gets any deeper.

" This is the place where I had nearly killed myself, what am I doing back here?" A chibi Kaoru questioned, tears slowly sliding down her porcelain face.

" I am not ready to come back... and I don't think I will ever again want to experience this loneliness again."

Slowly Kaoru started to move from the corner of the room taking great precaution, as to not make the dream worse of more freighting, getting up and walking next to the door where she entered Kenshin's room she peeked her head over the door frame. "why am I back here, I thought I'd never have to go through this dream again. I never meant to kill that boy, it was a accident." She stuttered, bringing her fist hands to her eye's to stop the tears that threatened to spill out.

" As my life moved on, I surely thought I could live with this awful guilt, pretending like nothing had happen was only making it harder to keep in." Stepping back inside the room Kaoru moved back to the corner where she came out of, only to hope that the images would stop flooding her mind and making her reckless. " Its been so long, that's probably why I started to drift off from my friends and my love ones. Probably having Suberu-chan in town was some sort of sign, he was my only witness to the crimes I committed when I was younger, but why would come back after all these years?"

"It doesn't make any sense, and what will the others think, the name I stood up for ever since they came, It's what they know me by, and what I am to them." Kaoru stopped her tears. It's one thing for sure I can't sit and cry over what has been dealt with over than just five years.

"Something must be down, and I must tell Yahiko, Sano, and Kenshin who I truly am. It's time I bring back the old Kaoru, I have a feeling someone's out to kill me and It's for what I've down when I was younger. They must be out for revenge, I must fight back I will not let Kenshin be my hero I will be my own person and my own hero."

Kaoru stands and faces the open window, even though it is merely a dream it feels so real. The wind slightly plays with a few strands of hair that have come down out of her ribbon. " I will not run anymore"

**************************************************************************** ***********************************

Kaoru woke to only have the man she wished for right by her side; taking in deep breaths of air she raised her eyes to a very confused rurouni, who stared straight back at her.

"Kenshin there is something I must tell you and you must not interrupt me when I speak, otherwise I won't continue with the story"

"Hai Kaoru-dono, at least know you can tell why you've been so tired for the past few day's. That you can" As he slowly started to get closer to Kaoru, leaving is sword by his side so it can be in good reach just incase anything happened. " I will sit here and listen to what you have to say, that I will. I would really like to help Kaoru-dono, I don't like it when you're not feeling well, that I don't."

"H..Hai, Kenshin. How is Yahiko this morning, is he still asleep?" Kaoru questioned.

"That he is, he was also worried about you, so what is it would you like for me to hear, Kaoru dono."

"First thing first, drop the dono, and I will answer and tell you everything you need to know."

Ok, I know it's short and I know some of you may be confused, (sigh) probably I should stop the story, and write one people will understand. Oh and I may change the rating to pg.13 I really can't of anything any more (Kami-sama I must be losing it) thanks for reading and Review so I can become better!!!!!!!!!!!!!.
