A/N: Wow. 11 reviews! I would never have thought that I'd get this much attention, thanks guys, I love you all!!!!! Sorry I couldn't post this sooner; I was banned from the computer because I stayed up to 3AM writing this. Ironic, huh? For those of you complaining that this was too short (you should see the Trigun fic. It's shorter than this) I'd tried to make it longer! In this fic we bring in Battousai for a little waffiness and fighting action. *yummy*! I tried to portray Sano in the best way possible and not be OOC.
Remember Japanese translations are at the bottom along wit a preview of Chapter Three. That is, if i continue.
Poor Excuse for a Disclaimer:
Sadly, I don't own Rurouni Kenshin or the characters. If I did Aoshi and Battousai would be my eternal slaves because they're sexy. Duh.

"Miss Kaoru? Sessha is home." Kenshin smiled at that. Since returning from Shishio's war he had vowed never to leave Kaoru again. She had always stuck by him during the battles and even hunted him down to Kyoto, so he figured she at least deserved a promise.
When Yahiko, Sano, and the others all returned to the Kamiya dojo Kenshin half-expected Kaoru to throw herself on him or confess her undying love. Something silly like that. Sadly, she hadn't, he'd always wondered about that Didn't she know he loved her? Why?
'Becasuse you never told her...' came a voice.
Kenshin frowned as he tried to ignore it. Meanwhile he walked through the halls chanting Kaoru's name.
"Miss Kaoru? Miss Kao-." Kenshin stopped. On the floor in front of him lay Kaoru, her face hidden in her hands. Even though her back was turned he knew something was wrong. Her ki was too stressed. Hesitantly he stretched out a hand to touch her shoulder.
Her head whipped around and their eyes locked for a moment before she cast them to the floor. Then she started to vigorously rub her eyes, hoping Kenshin wouldn't notice. He did.
"Miss Kaoru...Have you been crying?"
"So I suppose Yahiko told you."
"Told me what?" She shook her head.
"Nothing, nothing."
Kenshin stared at intensely for a moment and gingerly placed a hand on her cheek, wiping the water away. Then he sighed and did something unexpected...he hugged her, burying his face in her jasmine-scented hair. But after a few seconds he pulled back. There was another smell lingering beneath it all. Sake.
Kenshin knew for a fact that she didn't drink so it had to be Sanosuke. Absentmindely he started to get angry.
"Kaoru."
Kaoru arched her eyebrow. 'He called you Kaoru.' She stared at him and her gaze traveled to his eyes. Amethyst met amber. She gasped.
"Battousai."
---------------------------------------------------------------------
"WAIT BATTOUSAI! DON'T HURT HIM!" Kaoru screamed. But it was too late. He pushed the woman aside and marched towards a wide-eyed Sanosuke, and with a sharp "cling" his sword was unsheathed. However, the blade of the sakabatou was not flipped upwards. Meaning his intentions weren't good. Immediately Sanosuke took a fighting stance but the hitokiri was already flying towards him.
Sano growled. He saw this man when he battled Hajime Saitou and he only felt satisfaction through the slicing of bare flesh. Who was he to challenge the greatest hitokiri of the revolution?
'I have to try,' he thought.
Sanosuke was like that; honor and vitality were important to him. Unlike the man coming at him. As Sano prepared for the Battousai's attack he was shocked that there was none.
He looked around for a minute, which was a mistake, for when he turned his head back it met the hilt of his opponent's sword. Sano grunted tumbled backwards, falling to the ground. Probably unconcious. The Battousai peered at his challenger.
"Pathetic," he said. Then he turned to Kaoru.
"Please, don't kill me. Please, please, please..." He laughed.
"You've read my mind."
With that he raised his blade and positione himself over Kaoru. Slowly he raised the sword and brought it down.
"Wait just a minute," a voice said. Kaoru unsquinted her eyes.
"Sano! You're alive thank kami-sama!" Sano smiled.
"Miss me?" he taunted. Then he turned to the Battousai. "It seems to me that you're trying to hurt Jou-chan. I can't allow you to do that."
"She's my woman. I can do whatever I please with her."
"Your woman? Since when?"
"That is none of your concern, boy."
Sano gritted his teeth. There was only so much a man could bare. One: this man treating Kaoru like a rag doll and two; being called a boy. When the Battousai started to walk away it broke him out of his trance.
"Where do you think you're going?" Sano asked. The Battousai stared at him blankly and continued to walk. Sano growled. He didn't like to be ignored.
"Futae no Kiwami!!" Sano screamed, pummeling his fist into the ground. For a minute there was silence then an earsplitting crash of earth cracking open. Sano smirked as he watched the Battousai fall to the ground. Obviously, battousai wasn't expecting that. He was pleased.
Kaoru was not.
"You've kill....no you couldn't have," she half sobbed.
She her eyes widened as she stared at the Battousai's unmoving body. A thousand thougts raced throug her head.
'Is he dead? Should I be mad at Sano? He was only protecting me. Sano...Not like this, not like this...'
As if her thougts werer reaching him the body on the floor moved. He lifted himself and met eye-level wit Kaoru. She gasped. He had purple eyes.
"Kenshin!"

Japanese
Sake - an alcoholic japanese drink
Jou-chan - Missy
Sessha- This unworthy one
sakabatou - sword
hitokiri - assassin
Futae no Kiwami - Sanosuke's attack. He puncjes the ground and sends a force through it. Very powerful.
