Part 3
The next day Kenshin was in his room thinking about Kaoru. Why did I let him take her? I will not let anything happen to her I swear it. He glanced out the window and up the path. Grabbing his sword and puttoing it on his belt he started his way down the path.
On his way hewas stopped by Sano. "Oi Kenshin!! Where are you going?"
Kenshin kept his head down, his long bangs covering his eyes.
"Common Kenshin, what is wrong?"
Kenshin kept walking as if he were lost in a dream.
I better leave him alone. Maybe Yahiko or Jou-chan knows what is going on. Sano walked to the dojo. He walked in and saw Yahiko. He said, "Hey Yahiko, can you tell me what is wrong with Kenshin?"
Yahiko told Sano what had happened. "So Jin-eh's brother huh?I never really liked that guy."
"But his brother is a lot stronger. His paralyzing techniques are amazing. I don't know how Kenshin will stop him, but I am afraid that he will give up his life for Kaoru." Yahiko said looking down.
"We need to help him because he can't take Yamakatoh on by himself."
"I know, but if we got there to help him then that would just put more pressure on him."
"Yeah that's true. What is we hide and if Kenshin needs our help then we will jump out and help him?"
"Okay, that might work. Common lets go before they begin fighting."Yahiko said jumping up.
They started their way down the path hoping to make it there before Kenshin, but unforetunately Kenshin was already there. He looked around hoping to find Kaoru or Yamakatoh. Some leaves rustled behind him as he unsheathed his sword. Yamakatoh jumped out and attacked him. Kenshin blocked, but just barely.
"Yamakatoh, where is Kaoru-dono?"Kenshin asked pushing away.
"If you want to see her then you shall die. Let me put it in simpler terms. If you see her then I will let her go, but you must die for that to happen. If you don't, then she is history."
*
Sano and Yahiko hid behind a bush, bot too far from where they were fighting.
"What is going on Yahiko?"
"I don't know exactly. Just wait and see what they do."
Kenshin looked at Yamakatoh with a cold stare. He said, "For Kaoru-dono I would do anything. Even give up my life for her as long as she was safe, that is all that matters to me."
Yamakatoh smiled. "Then it is settled. I shall spare the girl." He opened the door of the shck and Kaoru was sitting on the floor ties up. "Kenshin!"
Yamakatoh untied her and said, "Leave now!"
"But..."
"Kaoru-dono please leave. If you stay then Yamakatoh will kill you. I cannot let him do that."
"Ken..shin.."
She ran down the path tears streaming down her face. Sano saw her run off. He walked up to her and said, "Come with me. You can't just leave."
She looked up at him. They both walked to where Yahiko was still sitting.
"Now Battousai, I will cast my Ishietura upon you and you shall die."
This is the price that I must pay for Kaoru-dono's safety. She is alright and that is all that matters. I will miss you Kaoru. I just wanted to tell you that I love you, but that is only a memory now. Goodbye.
One tear fell down Kenshin's face as Yamakatoh cast his spell. Kenshin stood still awaiting his death. At that moment Kaoru jumped from the bushes followed by Sano and Yahiko. He looked at them. They were screaming at him desperately hoping that what they said would motivate him to jump out of the way.
"Kenshin!!! Think of what you are doing!!!!"
"Think of all the people you are leaving behind."
"KENSHIN!!!!! Please don't leave me!!!! I love you Kenshin!!!"
I love you Kenshin, I love you Kenshin, I love you Kenshin. The thought raced through his mind eventually fading. He jumped out of the way. He looked at Yamakatoh and said, "I have just figured out that I do have a reason for staying here."
Kenshin attacked before he could cast his spell again. "Hiten Mitsurugi Ama KaKeru Ryu No Hirameki!!!!!!!!!"
Yamakatoh fell onto the ground. He was still alive but lay motionless.
Kenshin said, "We will call the authorities and tell them what happened."
Kaoru ran over to him and fell into his arms crying. "I am so glad that you are still here with me!!! I don't know what I would have done without you."
"It is alright Kaoru-dono. I am here and I love you too."
