Hi guys, I had too much sugar when I was writing this but I hope you enjoy
it. This one probably doesn't sound too good but thank you for taking the
time to read it!
Chapter one: Suffocating
Everyone was there; the Kenshin gumi, Tae, Tsubame, Misao, even Aoshi. They all came to say their final farewells to Kaoru, who died just yesterday. Out of all of them, Kenshin was probably the one who was pained the most by her death.
Flashback ************************************************************************ Kenshin and the others were at the market buying food for dinner when they heard gunshots. Kenshin had streaked ahead of everyone to see what the commotion was and found that a man was being pursued by a bunch of drunkards who had guns. Of course, Kenshin attempted to save the man and obviously got hurt in the process. Police were arriving but there were at least three people who were shooting like crazy. Kenshin stood in front of the victim attempting to fight off the enemies but when they all shot constantly at once, a bullet managed to graze his side. The police killed the drunkards on the spot but one of them shot another bullet before they fell to the ground and was headed straight for Kenshin. Still stunned from his wound, he didn't notice it when he saw Kaoru running like mad towards him.
"Kenshin look out!!!" as she pushed him out of the way.
*BANG!*
The drunkards were dragged away and Kaoru was now lying on her side in a crimson pool of blood, a bullet in her chest. Kenshin stood there motionless, his horror filled eyes transfixed on the girl in front of him. He broke into a run towards her.
"Kaoru-dono!!!!!!!!!!!" He gently picked her up and held her to him, hot tears falling from his amethyst eyes to Kaoru's paled face.
"Kenshin." he opened his eyes and looked at her face. She was smiling! But why? Kaoru lifted a trembling hand to wipe the tears from his face.
"I'm glad.I'm glad you're okay.Kenshin." Kenshin lifted his own hand and rested it over hers, new tears forming.
"Kaoru-dono, why? Why did you do that?" he asked holding her closer. Tears started to come out of Kaoru's eyes. He wiped them away as she spoke in a voice almost inaudible.
"Because I love you.and I always will.I'm glad I met you and everyone else Kenshin." Kenshin felt his heart ripping.
"No Kaoru, please! Don't go!" He begged as he saw her eyes closing. Kaoru smiled weakly.
"That.is the first time.that you've ever said my name with out the 'dono'.thank you Kenshin, I'm glad that I was able to hear that from you.I'll always love you.Sumanai but I can't hold on anymore.but I promise I won't ever leave you.I promise." And then her eyes fell shut and she went limp. Kenshin held her tightly will he sobbed quietly.
"Kaoru..KAORU!!!"
Megumi took the bullet out, but she told them she was dead, that the bullet had gone through her heart.
End flashback ************************************************************************
That happened yesterday. They were now getting ready to bury her next to her in Kyoto, where she wanted to be buried next to an old friend. Everyone was in tears. Sano was holding Megumi, Aoshi was holding Misao, and Tae had her arms around Yahiko and Tsubame. They couldn't believe she was gone. Kenshin.he was by himself, not wanting to be touched by anyone. The only one he wanted to hold and be held by was Kaoru, but he knew that wouldn't happen. Kaoru was dead.
'Kaoru.why.why did you have to leave.I didn't even get a chance to tell you.to tell you how much I loved you.Kaoru.I never got to tell you that I love you.' Just as she was being buried Kenshin broke into a run for the forest. He didn't want to be there. He couldn't bear seeing her like that, he couldn't bear that she was gone. 'Why did this happen? WHY?!'
Once Kenshin felt he was far enough away he fell to his knees and started sobbing. 'Why did she have to die? Why couldn't it have been me?' Suddenly, he felt a hand on his shoulder. He turned to see Sanosuke looking at him with concerned and sorrowful eyes.
"Come Kenshin, we're going back to Tokyo now." Kenshin was too sad and overwhelmed to protest. He let Sano drag him back. He didn't care, everything seemed to shatter. But one thing that Sano said was the only thing that kept him going.
"Kenshin, before Kaoru ran to save you she told me if anything happened to her to tell you to live on and take care of the dojo for her, to live there and think of it as your home. She told me that the dojo was to be given to you to live in so you won't have to wander anymore. Are you willing to do that for her?" Kenshin nodded but he didn't smile. It was a sad slow journey back to Tokyo for all of them.
Meanwhile back in Kyoto around sometime late at night the mound that was supposed to be Kaoru's grave suddenly popped as a person sat up spitting dirt out and brushing herself off. 'What is going on I wasn't dead! But I was going to be if I stayed under all this much longer!' She got up and recognized this place immediately. She was in Kyoto! 'This was the place I wanted to be buried at once I died.' She thought of Kenshin and the others how sad and heartbroken they must be. But why did they think she was dead? Was her breathing that low to the point it was unnoticeable? In truth, the bullet had gotten close to her heart but it didn't get her heart. 'I've got to get back to the others.to Kenshin.' she thought as she ran through the abandoned streets of Kyoto to for a place where she could rest up. She would need to in order to prepare for the long journey back to Tokyo. Back to Kenshin.
