Unravel of the Mystery

Chapter 3

It was rumored that during the Japanese Revolution a long time ago, there was a clan that called themselves the Mysterious Fighters. This clan roamed the forests, streets etc. Because of these amazing techniques this clan possessed, it was said that they possessed the power of the gods. One girl in particular was the strongest of them all. And because of the powers she held, she was able to bring the calm and peace during the Revolution just by using her voice. But after a tragedy, it was said she disappeared, to never return again. Her clan that she was in disappeared too with her, to never exist any longer.

Kenshin couldn't take life any longer. Without Kaoru, what was life worth living? He was in love with her. After all they went through; all the incidents brought them closer. He was glad in ways when the others teased her, because he knew he didn't have to worry about ever becoming the Battousai to claim what was rightfully his. Then what made him stay away from Kaoru? What made him hurt her as much as he did? He knew the answer to his questions. Indeed he was in love with Kaoru. He only stayed away from her, because he was just a wanderer who didn't want to hurt an innocent girl. Being with her would drive his enemies to kidnap her. To do so many bad things to her. He didn't know if he could protect her when the time comes for it.

As he took a stroll by the river trying to straighten his thoughts, he saw something blue on the ground that was covered a little bit by the dark rich soil. Last night Kenshin remembered his dreams of what he had of Kaoru. He remembered her dead body. The blood that mixed in the rain. He remembered hearing the voice that haunted him the whole night. He couldn't make out the words, but he knew it had to do something with him. He only wished he could pretend his dream was just a nightmare, but the blue object on the floor was proving him wrong.

He stopped dead in his tracks. He dared himself not to continue any further. He bent down slowly to pick up the blue object on the floor. When he did, he was astounded of what he saw before his eyes. He saw that it was a blue ribbon. It wasn't just any ribbon, but Kaoru's ribbon. He lifted the ribbon to his face to prove if it was Kaoru's favorite blue ribbon. He was right. It was Kaoru's blue ribbon. The ribbon had the smell of jasmines and something else. It had the smell of blood too.

Kenshin felt his body tensed. He felt his heart quickened. He breathing grew more rapid and much faster. His eyes changed from their normal color of violet to a burning rage of amber. Who did this to his Kaoru? Who killed her? Whoever wanted her and wanted to bring the Battousai was very successful at it. Whoever killed his Kaoru will pay. He will break his vow to never kill again to murder them. He decided the best way to die was to kill them slowly, so that they would be begging him to kill them. He will make sure before they died, that they would regret ever messing with his woman and killing her.

His Rurouni side may have felt pain, but his Battousai side never felt any pain deeper then this. Yes he loved Tomoe with all of his heart. But when she died he didn't feel the intensity of the lost, as what he was feeling right now at this very instant. After Tomoe's death, he made a vow to never kill again. But the death of his beloved Kaoru, changed everything. The Battousai in him broke loose. Knowing the woman he loved with all his heart died, Tokyo would never be the same again.

"My Kaoru," he whispered to the air. The wind responded to him as the Battousai let a few tears run down his cheeks.

Two Years Later

"What exactly are we doing here?" asked a beautiful voice. The raven haired girl looked up at the dark haired warrior. Her hazel eyes fastened on him to see whether he was playing any jokes on her.

"How many times do I have to repeat myself? We are here to do business," said the dark haired warrior. Everyone was looking their way as they walked down the street. "Why don't you go to the market and get a few items for our next trip?"

"Okay, as you wish Dimitri," said the happy young, sweet woman.

The young woman before him, was the woman he swore to protect from birth. She was really important to him and the other guys. But her importance to him was like she meant the whole world to him. When they were younger, he was always so protective over her, but then one day she proved herself to be a worthy opponent. Now he had so much faith in her, and her abilities. He knew she could fight. She always had her reverse blade sword to protect her, and her powers. There was no way he needed to worry about her here in Tokyo.

"Remember not to go too far, okay," said Dimitri with a harsh voice. He made sure not to show his emotions. His face was always hard, almost cold. He wasn't a man of any emotions whatsoever.

"Alright. You don't have to be so over protective," replied the young woman s as she wandered down the street.

Kenshin was minding his own business. The streets were crowded with people. All of them were in the market. He wasn't sure if he was able to get all the groceries the dojo needed. It was hard to maintain the dojo. It constantly needed repairing and Yahiko took over the job of being the Kendo teacher. The place hadn't been the same when Kaoru left. No it hasn't. Everyone feared him. He was not known as the Rurouni the wanderer. He was a man who was known as the Battousai. A man who had no heart. All he did was continued to protect the people around him. Sanosuke and Megumi had gotten married last year. Yahiko had himself a girlfriend, and the dojo had more students. He continued to wash the clothes and cook food. Yahiko did the cleaning.

Walking through the crowds, Kenshin sensed a very familiar presence. The presence was somewhere among the crowed, but where? Kenshin looked to his left. There he saw a raven hair girl looking at some kimonos an old lady was showing her. The raven hair girl wore a black kimono with a beautiful white decoration on it. Her long raven hair was tied up in a high ponytail, except of her raven hair being straight like Kaoru's hair, she had curly hair. Kenshin saw the young woman smiled at the old lady when she purchased a blue kimono that reminded him of the color Kaoru's eyes. As soon she turned around, Kenshin knew he had to stop her. That had to be his Kaoru.

The young woman was minding her business, when she heard someone calling out a name. She knew it would be hard to find someone in a crowd as big as this one. She continued to walk until she reached a street that wasn't as crowded as on the main street she was in. She then felt someone's hand on her shoulder. It wasn't tight grip, but firm enough for her not to get away. She turned around and gasped when she saw who it was.

"Kaoru," said the stranger. He wasn't tall. He was only an inch taller then she was. He was good looking. He had a nice figure with lean muscles under his gi. He was one of the very few people she met who walked around with a sword. What got her attention, was his hair. In the shade, his hair was almost blood red, and his eyes were burning with such intensity, she thought she could see her whole life flash through his eyes. They were the deepest gold she had ever seen before in her life.

"Kaoru? Is it really you?" asked the stranger.

"I'm sorry. I'm not Kaoru. My name is Sukura Tuskara," said the young raven hair woman.

When she turned around Kenshin was amazed at what he saw. This young raven hair woman was extremely beautiful. She was beautiful among words can describe. She had these amazing hazel eyes that can capture anyone. She didn't have blue eyes as deep as sky blue. As Kenshin continued to watch the woman, he wanted to know why he was attracted to this woman. What made her remind him so much of Kaoru? Can she have some link to his Kaoru?
