Hina didn't wake for breakfast, of lunch for that matter. Kaoru got worried and went to check on her. When she opened the door she was bothered to find Hina's face flushed and her breathing labored.
"Kenshin," Kaoru called, she was instantly worried when she saw Hina's body shake in pain. Kenshin came running in the room fearing that they were in danger. What he found was Kaoru hovering over Hina's distressed body.
"What is wrong Miss. Kaoru?" Kenshin asked as he kneeled next to her.
"Kenshin, she is burning up, send Yahiko to go and get Megumi, God, she is sure is burning, brink cool water with you after you tell him," Kaoru instructed. Kenshin nodded and got up and made his leave.
"Wake up Hina, come on," Kaoru said shaking her slightly, the fact that Hina wouldn't wake up wasn't a good sign, she may not be a doctor but she knew that.
Kenshin soon returned with the cold water, Kaoru sponged her softly.
"K-Kaoru?" Hina's weak voice found Kenshin's ears. Kenshin turned to look to her and was glad to see her eyes open, he smiled at her.
"Miss. Kaoru I think she has wakened," Kenshin said tapping Kaoru lightly.
"Hina, I'm so happy you're awake! How are you feeling?" Kaoru said tears in her eyes.
"I need to..." Hina said covering her mouth with her hand. Kenshin, understanding what she meant, helped her up and led her to a place where she could spill the contents in her stomach.
The thing about throwing up is if you have nothing in your stomach to throw up, you just end up irritating your throat and sometimes, depending on the situation, you throw up some blood. In Hina's case the later was the occurrence.
Kenshin, not really knowing how to help her, just rubbed circles on her back to try and comfort her. Kaoru came in a saw the situation. When Hina was finished spilling her guts Kaoru and Kenshin helped her back to bed.
At this time Megumi decided to make her entrance. As soon as she saw the condition that Hina was in she rushed to her side. "Oh dear, how could you let this get this far out of hand Kaoru, I thought you had more sense then that. How do you expect to bare Sir Ken's children if you can't even take care of her?" Megumi went off on Kaoru.
"Stop that Miss. Megumi, Miss. Kaoru did the best she could while we waited for you, please don't be mad at her," Kenshin said, he didn't like the tone Megumi was using with Kaoru, she had tried her best, that she had.
Megumi didn't like the way Kenshin spoke to her and was about to say something when Hina moaned loudly and clutched her stomach.
"This is worse then I though, she is suffering a severe case of some sort of stress related disease, there is nothing I can give her," Megumi said as she stood. "Try and keep her fever down and keep her comfortable, I have to get back to the clinic." And with that, she left the room.
"Her past is causing her stress, could she, could she, d-die?" Kaoru asked Kenshin. Kenshin looked at her, his eyes showed it all, even Kenshin couldn't do anything to help.
"God Kenshin, I feel horrible, if I had, if I had..." Kaoru started to cry uncontrollably and held onto Kenshin for support as her legs gave way. Kenshin caught her and lowered her down to her knees where she buried her face in his toned chest.
"Now, now Miss. Kaoru, there is nothing you could do, like I told Miss. Megumi, you did your best," Kenshin said as he tried to comfort her.
"I tried, but it may have not been enough, and now, she might die," Kaoru said.
Kaoru and Kenshin took turns looking after Hina, but eventually, as much as they tried to deny it, they tired out and had to allow Yahiko to look after her.
Even as she tried to rest Kaoru was restless so she was soon back on her post. As she rung out the water in the cloth Megumi's words came back to her.

"I can't, and I won't," Kaoru said as some fresh tears fell. Kenshin stood at the door way, as soon as the words left her mouth he knew she was thinking about what Megumi said.
It hadn't been a particular nice thing to say, after all it wasn't Kaoru's fault and she was feeling bad enough about the girl's condition. Kenshin sighed, what was he going to do...Megumi's comment had sparked his entrance in the Kamiya Kasshin master and now that he coming to terms with himself he realized his growing affections for her.
'No,' he forcefully told himself, 'you are too stained for her, not good enough,' he repetitively told himself, as if he was trying to convince himself as well as Kaoru.
"She's still out, I can't wake her," Kaoru's voice brought him out of his trance.
"I see, and her temperature, how high is it," Kenshin said.
"Worse then before, Kenshin were loosing her," Kaoru said as she stood to fetch new water.
"Don't think like that Miss. Kaoru, she will pull through, I can tell, she is a very strong person. When she gets better you should think of taking her on as a new student, I bet she won't give you a hard time. And Yahiko could use a partner to practice with," Kenshin said as he walked with her to the well.
"Perhaps, let's think of it that way, yes, I like thinking like this. When she gets better I can put her name on the wall, and she will get a wooden sword like Yahiko and she will show him what it means to respect your master," Kaoru said smiling for once. "Thanks Kenshin," she said.
"For what Miss. Kaoru?" Kenshin asked.
"For making me smile, for making life more bearable, and for just being you, the lovable man we all know," Kaoru said without thinking. "Oh and Kenshin," she said, more quiet this time.
"Yes, Miss. Kaoru?" he asked.
"Could you please not call me Miss. Kaoru, it makes me seem so old....and I'm not!" she said laughing at his expression.
"Oro," Kenshin said.
~*~OUTSIDE THE DOJO WALLS~*~
Three men sit in the shadows discussing their business there.
"She's in there; we'll get you now Hina Suzuki," one of the three men said.
"What about the man, the one with the sword, can you take him down Seirou?" The big and ugly one asked.
"Are you kidding me Yukiharu, Seirou will make him wish he was never born into this era!" The one with three teeth said.
"Now, now Kintarou, there is no need to be cocky, that will get you in trouble," Seirou said, then the three disappeared as if they were never there.

Please review!
I found the meaning of Kenshin's name and it made me laugh so I thought you might like to hear it:
The name of Kenshin creates a very aggressive and independent nature, one with big ambitions, giving you original, progressive, large-scale ideas, salesmanship and promotional ability as well as the excellent business judgment which enables you to gain the financial accumulation to which you feel entitled. You have a versatile, restless nature, and could do any job well, although you would not like to do menial tasks. You are seldom satisfied and are always seeking something new. However, you do not know the meaning of relaxation, for when supposedly resting, your mind is forever active, planning out some new project or seeking new ways to improve your present enterprise. You could organize the work of others, though in your impatience to see the job done efficiently, you would likely step right in and do it yourself. Your intense, restless nature can bring on tension which affects the solar plexus and digestion, or the generative organs.
I'll find the rest of the names...and if you review and ask nicely, then I'll put them on the next chapter.
