Hi there! I am back for the final chapter! Take this valueable time to ask yourselves some questions like will Kenshin and Kaoru reveal their love for eachother? Will Kiroshi destroy Japan? Will Sano ever have a satisfied stomache? We're about to find out in this chapter!

PengiunOfEvil(my twin brother): Your so evil leaving a cliff hanger in the last chapter.

Lady Himura: I know, but the fans are here reading this chapter so the're gonna find out what happens.

SSJHimura(Akey): Kenshin must be really ticked off now that Kirsohi's got his women. I hope he cut's Kiroshi's head off! That would be so cool!

Lady Himura: OH! And Kiroshi Anatsu is a character I borrowed from PenguinOfEvil. Kiroshi is actually a boastful Samurai with long brown hair and black eyes.

PenguinOfEvil: That's plagerism!

Lady Himura: Yah...sure....Well on to the final chapter. Enjoy!

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kenshin gripped his reverse blade sword so tightly his knuckles turned white. His eyes showed nothing but hate as he looked at kiroshi's filthy arm around kaoru's arms and upper boddy, his other hand holding a dagger up to her throat. Kaoru was breathing rapidly afraid that with any sudden movement, her life could be taken away from her with a blink of an eye. kaoru felt like she was letting evreryone down, like she's the one who put Kenshin in this situation.

"Kenshin" she whispered slowly feeling the dagger on her skin as she spoke. "I'm sorry, Kenshin!" she said as she began to cry. Kenshin's amber eyes were dumbfounded. "You have nothing to be sorry for Kaoru, nothing!" he said loudly trying to make her understand. "If anyone should be sorry, it should be me! I let him get to you! I made you two promises that I couldn't keep! I didn't protect you, I let him touch you! Don't feel sorry about anything!" He said loudly. "Kenshin" Kaoru said trying to hold in her sobbs. "I'm sorry, I couldn't be stonger." she whispered. Then she closed her eyes and stood there with Kiroshi still clutched to her.

" For each tear karou has cried, you will pay dearly for!" Kenshin yelled. Kenshin walked forward, but Kirsohi moved a step backwards moving the dagger closer to kaoru's throut. Blood was now dripping down Kaoru's neck. The dagger had pierced her skin. "Kaoru!" Kenshin screamed. "You're going to regret doing that Kiroshi!" Kenshin yelled in a fury. "What am I going to do? I have to defeat Kiroshi, but Kaoru's life is more important. How am I gonna do this? There has to be som....."

Kenshin couldn't even finish his sentence. Kaoru had wacked Kiroshi below the belt, punched him up again and then kicked him out the window, glass shattering everywhere.

"That'll teach you to mess with Karou Kamiya you slime!" she yelled in hopes he could hear her. She turned to see Kenshin who's mouth had dropped to the floor and his eyes were violet once again. "K-Kaoru-dono, how did you? why did you? Kaoru?" Kenshin was speechless.

Kaoru brought her hand up to her neck where the dagger had entered her flesh. Kenshin imediatley ran over to inspect her. "Don't worry kenshin, it doesn't hurt." Kaoru said looking at him. "Are you sure kaoru-dono?! Sessha is such a baka! He let that slime touch you. I'm sorry! I'll understand if you never want to forgive me!" Kenshin said bowing his head. Karou lifted his head up with both her hands bringing it close enough that their lips were less than an inche apart.

"Kenshin.....it wasn't your fault. You are no baka. Kenshin your my happiness! Before you, I was alone. I had no reason to wake up in the mroning, I had no reason to live and breathe. I had no one to love. I thank Kami every day that I met you and that you never left me. I don't ever want you to think you let me down. Kenshin I lo....."

" Jou-chan are you all right?" Sano said after breaking down the door. (A/N: I'm so, so Evil!)

" Where is that bum, I'm gonna shove this bokken up his......." The two stared at Kenshin and Kaoru. Kaoru still had her hands on kenshins face and Kenshin's hands were on top of hers.

"Uh...did we miss something?" Sano asked

"No Sano...I think we're disturbing a private moment." Yahiko said with a big smile on his face. Both Kenshin and Kaoru turned bright red and threw their hands to their sides.

"So Kenshin, did you kiss her? Kenshin you sly dog...." Sano said elbowing his friend in the ribs.

"Nothing happened, really Sano" Kenshin said.

"Sure Kenshin...sure" yahiko replied.

"Oro?!"

"What happened to Kiroshi?" Sano asked looking around the room.

"Kaoru threw him out the window." Kenshin said like it was something that happened every day. Both Sano and Yahiko ran to the window, which was on the first floor.

They looked outside and found Kiroshi layed out on a blanket of glass.

"Ouch, that must of hurt!" Yahiko said examining the scene.

All four of them walked out the window. "Do you think we should get him a doctor?" Sano asked the group. "I guess that would be the right think to do." kaoru said even though she really wanted to leave him right there. They all turned away from the body to discuss what to do with it.

Kiroshi, all of a sudden sprung up . Unoticed by the busy group, he pulled a gun from his belt. Still a little dizzy from his recent beating, he tried to point the gun to kaoru's head. No one noticed Kiroshi was awake till the gun shot was heard and Kaoru screamed. Kenshin looked at Kaoru who was now clutching her arm, blood dripping from underneathe her hand. Kenshin was no longer standing next to kaoru, but the battosai stood there holding Kaoru who was falling with shock.

Kisroshi attempted a couple of shouts at the battosai, but his God-like speed was no match for the bullets.Kaoru watched Kenshin's affair with Kiroshi and the gun. "Kenshin, please be carefull. I need you!" she whispered as Sano and Yahiko held her up steadily.

Kirsohi had just shot his last bullet when Kenshin had his sword up to Kiroshi's neck, the sharp side touching his flesh. "You tried to Kill kaoru." His eyes narroed and filled with even more hatred as those words rolled off his tongue. "For that you must pay." Kenshin brought his sword up ready to strike. "DIE KIROSHI!"

"NOOOOO KENSHIN, PLEASE DON"T KILL AGAIN!" Kaoru screamed her eyes flooding in tears. Kenshin stopped his sword in mid air, kaoru's plea ringing through his head. His eyes became violet once again. He turned to kaoru.

"Kaoru... thank you for saving me again. She smiled and her tears seized to stream down her face.

"I've been shamed, I don't deserve to live! If my life can't be taken away by the greatest swordsman in all of Japan than I will take my own life!" Kirsohi yelled. He grabbed the longest sharpest piece of glass he could find. He kneeled down and brought the piece of glass high up in the air. The moon's light reflected of the glass as he shot the glass down threw his heart, blood squirting everywhere from the impact. As he fell backwards, he was able to muster one last sentence. "Akira...I'm...coming." His eyes fogged up and his breathing stopped. He lay in a pool of blood.

Kaoru closed her eyes tight. Trickles of Kiroshi's blood were dripping down her face. She lowered her head. She felt a pair of arms come around her.She looked up at Kenshin. The moon's light hit his face perfectly, soaking up his every feature. Kaoru's saphire eyes shone brightly.She pulled Kenshin into a tight embrace, kenshin, not refusing her offer. Kenshin ripped off a piece of his gi and wrapped around Kaoru's injured arm. Karou was still shaky from her recent ordeal so Kenshin picked her up, one hand under her knees the other behind her back.

Saiotu had just crawled out the window, and his eyes struck wide open at Kiroshi's dead body on the floor. "battosai...you broke your oath?" Saitou asked. No...he took his own life." Kenshin said in a low tone. "I must say... a job well done." Saitou said. "it was no problem!" Sano replied. "I wasn't talking to you your worthless rooster head." Saiotu replied. Before Sano could yell back, Kenshin cut in. Saiotu, I think it would be best if we were to head home now." Kenshin said, his eyes never leaving Kaoru.

Saitou lead the way back through the mansion when suddenly they heard someone scream "STOP!" They all turned around to find a women standing infront of them. "Kaoru, it's your twin!" Yahiko screamed looking at Kaoru and than back to the women.

" I am Akira Anatsu." the women said with a smile. Everyone's mouth dropped down to the floor."You were here the whole time!" Sano yelled. "Hai." Akira replied. "You see I had been waiting for Saitou's call, hoping for good news." She said calmly. "I ran away from my husband, the man is a sexist pig!" Akira said with disgut. "I knew it! I knew you ran away, I don't know how anyone could live with that creep!" kaoru screamed from the comfort of Kenshin's arms. Everyone stopped to look at Kaoru's sudden outbusrt but then set their attention towards Akira again.

"Is there anything I can do to repay you for your good deeds?" Akira asked.

"Yah, how 'bout a sack full of money! Your loaded with it anyway!" Sano said, money signs apperaing in his eyes. "C'mon rooster-head, lets go!" yahiko said impatiently pulling Sano from his ear. Sano could be heard swearing under his breathe all the way to the carriage.

"I should go watch the morons, who knows what their little minds of are capable of." Saiotu said sighing and departing, leaving only Kenshin with kaoru in his arms and Akira.

"I don't know how I will ever be able to repay you! You two have accomplished the immpossible, and I want to thank you with every fiber of my being." Akira said whole heartedly.

"All I want to do is go home." Kenshin said as kaoru's eyes glowed with his use of the word "home". "Very well then." I bid you two a safe trip." Akira said warmly. "I only wish I could of found someone who loved me just as much as you love eachother!" Akira said.

Both Kenshin and kaoru blushed brighter than a freshly picked tomato. "Oh my, I guess I made the wrong assumption!" Akira said, giggiling at their reaction. "Well I must depart now, I wish you a happy life." and with that Akira walked away.

"Let's go home Kenshin." kaoru said, snuggling a little closer to kenshin's chest."hai, kaoru-dono, that we shall." he replied. kenshin walked down the hill of stairs and entered the carriage.

He sat kaoru down next to him as Saiotu, yahiko, and Sano sat positioned on the other side of the carriage. It was close to midnight and the carriage was nearing the dodjo. Kenshin felt a warm sensation touch his shoulder. He looked over to see Kaoru, her head laying on his shoulder, sleeping. A gust of wind blew into the carriage and she cuddled up to kenshin's warm body. Kenshin but his arms around her in hopes of keeping her warm. He lay his head ontop of hers and a little smile krept up on his face. In the darkness of the carriage, Kenshin didn't notice Sano's and Yahiko's big smiles at the shy rurouni being open infront of people. Kenshin didn't care, right then and there, all that mattered was that Karou was safe in his arms.

The carriage reached an abrupt halt infront of the dojo's gate. Sano departed from the carriage first, followed by Yahiko, and then by Kenshin holding his sleeping kaoru. "Sano, could you run to Megumi and tell her to come immediatley." kenshin said softly so he wouldn't wake kaoru up. "Hai, I'll be back with the fox lady in no time." Sano replied running as fast as he could to the clinic. The carriage pulled away with Saiotu in it. " The nerve of that guy, he puts us in all this danger, and he doesn't even bother to say thanks or goodbye for that matter!" Yahiko yelled at the carriage.

Kenshin was to busy walking into the dojo to hear Yahiko's remarks to the departing carriage. He slid open kaoru's door to her room, holding Kaoru in with one arm. he placed her gently on her futon, than getting up to slide the door shut. He sat down close to kaoru's sleeping body. He held one of her hands gently in his own, stroking it ever so carefully. Her watched the rise and fall of her chest with each breathe she took. Kaoru, I wish you knew how much you mean to me." he said out loud. After his last word the door slid open and Megumi ran in with a heavily breathing Sano Following. "Fox lady was way to slow, so I carried her here!" Sano said between breathes.

Megumi gave Sano a death glare before turning to her patient. She unwrapped Kenshin's bloody piece of gi from Kaoru's arm examining the bullet whole. She carefully removed the bullet, allowing fresh blood to flow out of the wound. Kaoru cringed in her sleep but none the less stayed in her deep slumber. Megumi wrapped her arm in clean bandages.

"Do you think you men would like to leave the room so I can get kaoru properly dressed to sleep, she's filthy." Megumi said eyeing Sano and Kenshin. Sano left the room, and Kenshin reluctantly followed.

(Later that night.....)

Kaoru had only been asleep for a few hours since her dangerous ordeal with Kiroshi. She sat up in her futon and examined her wound. " It still hurts, but not as bad." Kaoru thought to herself. Her room was humid from the hot summer's night. She got up and walked outside in nothing but her sleep wear, forgetting to put on her yukata. There was a cool breeze and the moon was full in the stary sky. She found a clearing in the field in the back of the dojo. She sat down on the cool, green grass. She lay her whole body down so that her face was was looking upwards towards the sky. She brought one of her legs to a bend on the grass, her night gown slipping down to reveal her leg. She put her hands behind her head to support her head from the ground.

She sat there star gazing, and lost in thought." I wish kenshin was here with me, looking up at the stars and holding me in his arms." Kaoru thought as she tried to recal the warmth of Kenshin's body so close to hers. All of a sudden a shooting star shot through the sky and caused Kaoru to sit up from her position. "Make a wish" she heard an all too familiar voice say. She turned around to find Kenshin standing on the portch, his gi untied, showing off his masculine chest. The moons light hit off of him in all the right places. He never looked more beautiful to Kaoru than he did just than.

kaoru closed her eyes tight and made her wish."I wish I will have enough courage to tell Kenshin how much I love him." she wished opening her eyes to find Kenshin with his eys shut, making a wish himself.

"Do you mind if I join you kaoru?" Kenshin said from the portch. Kaoru nodded her head with a smile of approval and patted her hand down to the soft ground right beside her. Kenshin walked over and sat down right next to her. " The stars are out tonight, aren't they beautiful... kaoru stated, tilting her head upwards and supporting her body with her arms behind her. "Hai, that they are." kenshin said looking up as well. "It's now or never Kaoru, tell him how you feel!" Kaoru thought to her self as she tilted her head downwards so that she could look Kenshin straight in the eye.

"kenshin?" Kaoru said in a whisper. Kenshin diverted his attention from the stars to Kaoru's hopeful saphire eyes.

"Kenshin, I've wanted to say this for a really long time but I didn't know how to tell you, so you see Ken....."

Kaoru was cut off but Kenshin's lips being pressed against her own. After realizing Kenshin was actually kissing her she let loose and kissed back. Kenshin, happy with her reaction brought the kiss into a more passionate stage. Kaoru's arms were now flung around Kenshin's neck and Kenshin had now lifted Kaoru onto his lap, holding her securly around the waist. A years worth of love, passion, and unrequited love were all let out in that single, passionate kiss.

They slowly let go of eachother, needing a moment to breathe."kenshin?" Kaoru asked breathing steadily and staring into Kenshins deep violet eyes."hai Kaoru?" Kenshin asked looking into her deep pools of saphire. Kaoru got a tingle all over her body at her name being heard without the dono.

"I love you kenshin..." Karou whispered lovingly.

"I love you too Kaoru.." Kenshin said going back for round two of their kiss. Kaoru made no objections as she secured her arms around him once again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

(Looking through a crack in the dojo door.)

"Pay up Sano, Kenshin made the first move." Yahiko said looking through the opening in the door at Kaoru and Kenshin kissing. "what are you waiting for, pay up!" Yahiko whispered angrily, holding his hand out.

"Darn, I was so sure Jou-chan was gonna make the first move." Sano said looking around in his pocket for money. When Sano came up empty handed he turned to Yahiko in the hopes of nagotiation. "Say Yahiko, You're a MAN now, what do u say we forget about this silly little bet and I'll take you to roll some dice next time I go." Sano said hoping Yahiko would forget about this little bet since he obviously had no money. "Sure! That sounds a whole lot better. It's a deal!" Yahiko said all gidish like a child. "Good" Sano sighed. He turned his attention to Kaoru and kenshin who were still in their little kissing mode.

"I'm really happy for those two, they deserve to be happy and be together for ever." Sano thought and a smile crept onto his face. "Hey Yahiko you know this means we'll be Uncles. I mean, think about all the little kenshins and Kaorus we'll have running around the dojo. We're gonna have our hands full!" Sano said to Yahiko.

Yahiko began counting his fingers and than turned to Sano with the realization of what he just said. His terrifed face soon turned into a smile. "Then we had best just be good uncles right Sano?" Yahiko answered happy to his manley response."Right Yahiko." sano replied.

"Lets leave them two alone" Sano said walking back to his futon with Yahiko, who took one last look at his parental figures, walking away with a smile.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Kenshin and Kaoru lay on the soft grass in a deep embrace. Their eyes were locked inn a deep, intimate stare. "kaoru, you have made me so happy. You have given me something I thought I would never experience again. You gave me your love. I love you so much, and for as long as I live I will make sure you are happy as well." kenshin said laying a kiss on her lips. "Kenshin, as long as I am with you, I will always be happy, I Love you Kenshin, and I always will." She responded, and gave him a sweet peck on the lips.

The two slept together on the cool green grass.

The moon will set and the sun will rise.

But no ones love could of been more true

Than that of violet and saphire eyes.
