Author's note: Okay, thankyou everyone! I'm really trying to make this story work in so many differnet ways, it's got my brain scrambled! So just work with me, okay? Thanks! You guys rock! *Winks cheezily* *Readers frown and load guns* Uh, yah, so here we go with part 3!
Kaoru stared into her crystal clear bath water. She had been thinking about Kenshin a lot. What was going on with him? Why couldn't he seem to remember that he had turned into Battousai? They weren't two different people...were they? Kaoru was beginning to doubt the fact that Battousai was Kenshin at all. He was totally different. Too different to be her gentle wanderer.
She sighed and dunked her head under the water. When she came up again, her hair was in her face. She wiped it away and let out an annoyed groan.
"I'm confused." She whined to herself.
Kenshin was kind, gentle, and never treated her badly. On the other hand, Battousai, was rough, and acted scary. His golden eyes frightened Kaoru, as did his menacing laugh. But, in a way, Kaoru could still see hints of Kenshin in him. The way he had gave her that pitiful looked when she pleaded with him not to kill her. The way he'd laughed when she didn't know why he was gawking at her.
"I am so confused." She said again.
She got out of the bath and began to dry off. She could hear Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Yahiko arguing.
"Look, Yahiko, you can't say the tides aren't caused by the gravity of the moon." Sanosuke said.
"That you cannot." Kenshin added.
"Explain how it happens then." Yahiko shot back.
"I already did, but you were sitting there like 'oh look a bird' . And you wandered away like la-la-la-la." Sanosuke said, mocking the ten year old.
Yahiko laughed.
"I did not."
"You did too."
Kaoru smiled. She loved the way they argued. Much like her and Yahiko. When she was dressed, she entered the kitchen to see Kenshin preparing dinner.
"Oh,Kenshin, I could've done that." She said, remembering it was her night to cook.
"It's alright, Miss Kaoru, that it is." Kenshin gave her a sad smile and went back to chopping vegetables.
Kaoru frowned. Had she done something wrong? She stared at Kenshin. He was obviously trying to ignore her.
"You need any help?" She asked.
"Oh, no, all it has to do now is simmer anyway." Kenshin replied.
Kaoru smiled.
"It smells good in here, I wish I could cook like you." She said.
Kenshin smiled back.
"I like your cooking, that I do, a lot."
Kaoru turned red.
"I'm a horrible cook. Yahiko and Sanosuke's drilled that into my brain."
Kenshin wiped his hands on his apron.
"They love your cooking, or else they wouldn't hang around the pot whining, 'is it done yet?' "
Kaoru laughed.
"Well, I'm glad you like it."
Kenshin smiled, but suddenly frowned and felt his forehead.
"Uh-Oh." Kaoru said, already backing away.
Battousai looked up and smiled.
"Hello, Kaoru." He greeted.
Kaoru smiled nervously then continued backing away. Battousai just kept smiling at her, then he frowned, noticing the frilly apron clinging to him.
"Eww." He said taking it off.
Kaoru smiled nervously and still continued to move away, but his eyes seemed to make her go slower and slower until she stopped. It felt as if she were wearing sandals of stone. Battousai approached her and put his forehead to hers.
"I can never get over how cute you are." He whispered.
Kaoru's eyes darted wildely.
"Uh, thanks, I guess. I have to go...uh, this way now." She said nervously.
Battousai grabbed her hand and moved in front of her.
"What a coincidence, so do I."
Kaoru's legs felt like liquid. Her heart was beating so fast it might as well of flew out and hit the wall. Her face also burned.
"I love you." Battousai said, before smashing his lips onto hers.
"Ken-Battousai, no...no." She said, trying to pull away before she, herself, turned into a puddle of mush.
"No? Why, Kaoru? Why?" He slightly whimpered, kissing her again, wrapping his arms around her.
Kaoru wanted her Kenshin. Her wanderer who'd never think of doing this to her. Where was Kenshin? She needed him now!
"Please, I won't be able to stop if you don't..." Kaoru was cut off as Battousai kissed her again, this time passing his tongue through her lips.
Yahiko, who was going to walk in and demand dinner, but was now leaning against the wall, laughing quietly to himself.
Battousai smiled at Kaoru and ran his index finger along her bottom lip.
"You're so beautiful, you know that?" He asked moving closer again.
Kaoru knew she was about to cave in. She knew she could easily give into Battousai, but she also knew she couldn't.
"No, Ken-Battousai, we-"Kaoru started.
"Kaoru..." Battousai whined.
"No! I love Kenshin! Leave me alone!!!"
With that outburst, Kaoru slapped Battousai across the face and shoved him away from her. Battousai cupped his left cheek, and looked at Kaoru. Kaoru looked at him. Battousai glared at her.
"You hit me." He hissed.
"I told you no." Kaoru replied, very afraid now.
Battousai tried to keep his glare, but Kaoru could tell he was hurt, badly. And not just because she had slapped him either.
"Battousai..." She said, approaching him timidly.
He backed away, and looked down, his eyes covered by his hair.
"No, don't I...love you."
When he looked back up, his eyes were bright and violet.
"You do?" He asked, smiling very big.
Tears came to Kaoru's eyes. She had hurt Battousai, and without his knowledge, Kenshin too.
"Yes, Kenshin...I love you."
Kenshin's smile grew even bigger. Yahiko walked in, laughing his head off.
"Hey, Sano, you missed everything!" He called.
Kaoru had fallen into a deep hole. She wanted the Battousai back, and not just to tell him she was sorry. She really did love Kenshin. She was in love with him, but Battousai was somebody special too. Why was this so confusing anyway? They were the same person weren't they?
To Be Continued? Yet again, you decide!
