Losing Kenshin
Chapter Four: Vows Aren't Always Easy To Keep
Kenshin clutched his Sakabatou, gently clicking it out of its sheath with his thumb. His eyes opened just a slit, yet he did not move.
Kaoru opened her eyes, still groggy from sleep. As soon as she heard the footsteps, she glanced over at Kenshin. The only thing that moved was his thumb on his sheath. Underneath his bangs, she saw the amber glow from his eyes.
"oh, gods no. don't let it be the Battousai. Please, no. Kenshin, i want Kenshin." she whispered into the gi. she wished with all her might that she could just disolve into dust and blow away into the wind. She sunk lower into the corner, the gi now coming up just under her eyes. Memories of Jinei and Kenshin's last battle as Battousai filled her head. She tried to shut them out, but the harder she tried the more painfully clear they became.
Slowly she arose and went to sit next to Kenshin. The man did little but breathe, he didn't even look up. She reached up to stroke the scar that burdened his cheek, but he grabbed her wrist and squeezed it painfully.
"Don't touch me." He growled.
Kaoru gasped, not at the pain, but at the tone of his voice. She knew now what she had feared. She was losing Kenshin.
Kenshin saw the fear on Kaoru's face. In her eyes, she had once held such trust in him, but now the trust was replaced with deep fear. Inside, Kenshin felt the pain, but it was barly noticable. He droped Kaoru's hand, feeling bad about hurting her.
Lowering his eyes to hers, he softly brushed her cheek with his hand. "Please, Miss Kaoru, stay out of this. It is between me and whoever hurt you, that it is."
Kaoru scowled. "Is this why your doing this Kenshin? To get revenge for me?"
Kenshin's eyebrow twitched ever so slightly. "Yes."
"But you don't have to! You don't Kenshin, please, don't."
Kenshin looked away, but up again as the door creaked open. Standing up, he pushed Kaoru out of his way. He glanced down at her, wrapped in his gi. His hand clasped his sakabatou so tightly that his knuckes were white. His eyes were narrowed to slits, barly letting the amber light shine out.
The man looked nervous. he held his sword with shaky hands. Kenshin noted his poor stance and lack of strength in his upper body. In one swift movement, Kenshin unsheathed his sword and switched the blade, all while lunging at the man.
"Kenshin NO!" Kaoru jumped in front of Kenshin, but the Battousai leapt over her and sliced the man's throat. He then continued down the stone isleway, to the main hall of the castle.
Kaoru ran to the man's side. he was already dead. Tears of sadness splashed onto his body. 'How could you kill again, Kenshin?' She turned as she heard footsteps on the stone floor. Looking up, she froze in fear. Looking up, she saw nothing but peircing blue eyes.
"No, not you! Not again!"
The man smiled and snapped his fingers. Immediately three men came and gabbed Kaoru, holding her still so the Blue-eyed man could look at her.
"Kazariah!" Kaoru gasped.
"How is our child, my dear?" The man called Kazariah had bright blue eyes and dark blue hair (AN: Hey, look at the other animes, its possible! Take Kenshin 4 example, how many NATURAL red headded Japanese dudes do u c running around Tokyo?). He carresed Kaoru's cheek softly and grabbed her chin, forcing her to kiss him. But instead Kaoru bit his lip (yay Kaoru! lol). Kazariah jumped back, his lip bleeding slightly.
"WHY YOU LITTLE BITCH! HOW DARE YOU!" He slapped her across the face, watching her fall to the ground. Immediately he began to kick her and step on her face, just about everywere, but advoiding her stomach intentionally, as not to harm the baby inside.
"Kensh---" Kaoru was picked up and brought to a small room, in which Kazariah was sitting peacfully.
Kenshin ran down the stone halls with such speed he was nothing more than a blur. Anyone who got in his way would be dead before they hit the ground. He skidded to a stop in a grand ballroom. a young boy huddled in a corner. he was dirty, his hands callused from years of work. Picking him up by the neck of his shirt, he growled in his face.
"where can i find Kazariah Tetsuto?"
"Go down three doors. take the forth one on the right, then take the second door on the left. That's his favorite room to be in. you'll most likely find him there." the boy shivered as kenshin dropped him. as he raised his sword to kill the child, his face turned into that of Yahiko's. Growling, he lowered his sword and continued.
'Forth door on the right.'
kenshin sliced the door in two.
'Second door on the left.' this time Kenshin ran right through it. using his shoulder as a raming-thinggy he plowed through the door. As the door hit the floor, an eerie silence filled the room.
"Welcome, Hitokiri Battousai." The voice came from the shadows. a candle flame flichered to life and th face was lit. Kenshin's eyes narrowed even more (if possible).
"Kazariah," He wispered in a deadly tone. He stepped foreword to attempt to kill the man, but he held up his hand, his face totally relaxed.
"If i were you, i would remain still, Battousai,"
Suddenyl about 100 candle flames flickered on, and Kenshin found homself surrounded by men. One of them threw, Kaoru, beaten, at Kenshin's feet.
".Or the girl dies."
AN: Dun Dun Duuuun! ok, i know i said it would only be a day or two untill this chapy, but i got grounded from the internet for two days, wouldn't you know. sooo, don't kill me! i got this chapter up as soon as i could, and the next one is on the way!
