Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.
K.H.: I'm not much of a gifted speaker, but anyway, welcome to chapter 3. This fic... is mainly a dramatic or angsty type of fic since I'm not the type to create many humor fics & definitely not parody. I'm a dramatic person, I should be in theater... it would work out! Yay! ^^ As you've probably already realized, this fanfic is very odd & probably the oddest RK fic you have ever read. Not many fics have Kenshin turning into a demon... I haven't read any like that anyway. But this message is getting long and both my patience & time is getting short, so I'll shut up for the present moment. (This fic is starting to sound like a bad soap opera, especially Megumi's first line here.)
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
They enter Yahiko's room to find Megumi tending to Yahiko's rib area.
The absence of Yahiko's wincing while Megumi sets them worries Kenshin, ~He's as unconscious as a person can be without being dead. Yahiko....~
Kaoru & Kenshin set the two girls down on two cots in the corner of the room. They walk over to Megumi & kneel on opposite sides of her.
"So, how's Yahiko doing Megumi?" Kaoru asks.
Megumi sighs & slowly shakes her head, "He's in critical condition, I've done all I can do for him. It all comes down to how strong Yahiko's will to live is."
Kaoru glances over at Kenshin, who is staring sadly at his little friend. At that moment, she feels totally helpless & worthless. She had taught Yahiko the Kamiya Kasshin technique & felt that she should've taught him more, or better. She could've been a better teacher, then maybe Yahiko wouldn't have been in such a severe condition. Then again, when has she actually saved anyone?
Kenshin has saved so many since he made that oath...
Sanosucke saved quite a few people with his impressive strength & skill in fighting...
Megumi with her knowledge of medicine...
And even Yahiko saved two girls so far that he's met & four if you include Ayame & Suzume.
Kaoru sighs & stands up, "I'm going for a walk..."
Kenshin looks up at her, "But are you sure that it's wise during nightfall?"
She walks towards the exit & stops in the doorway with one of her hands resting on the frame. She turns her head to look back at Kenshin & smiles weakly, "I'll be fine."
His ears prick to a rather sad tone in her voice & he frowns slightly, "Is everything alright Ms. Kaoru?"
She continues to smile, "I'm ok, stop worrying so much Kenshin."
She exits & Kenshin stares at the doorway, "I can't really explain it, but I can sense sadness coming from her."
Megumi looks over at him, "Sounds like you're more sensitive to people's emotions now that you're a demon. Maybe you should follow Kaoru, Kenshin. If Keran was the leader of an organization, you can almost be sure that they will want revenge for their dead leader."
He looks at her, "But what about Yahiko?"
She smiles, "Don't you have any faith in me? I can take care of Yahiko."
He nods & slowly stands up, "If you say so..."
Sanosucke peeks his head inside of the room, "Where's Kaoru- WHAAA!!!"
He falls over backwards & scoots back against the opposite wall.
Kenshin blinks, "Sano?"
Megumi chuckles, "Sano, it's only Kenshin. Some sorceror by the name Keran used some type of magic to turn him into a demon."
Sanosucke blinks twice, "So, that thing's actually Kenshin?"
Kenshin's fox ears twitch a bit, "Oh, so I'm a 'thing' now? You make me feel so loved." (( Face: T_T*))
He sighs before looking at Sanosucke with a stern expression, "I'll have to fill you in on the details later. I have to go find Ms. Kaoru because she could be in danger."
Sanosucke stands up & begins dusting himself off, "Then I'll come, I always enjoy a good fight."
Kenshin glances at him, "I'm afraid not Sano. It would be best if you would stay here with Ms. Megumi & Yahiko. They need protection & besides, I don't want there to be any chance of me mistaking you for my enemy if I lose control again."
He walks out before Sanosucke can protest & Sanosucke narrows his eyes, punching his palm, "I'm going."
Megumi puts a hand on one of his arms & stops him.
She smiles, "Respect Kenshin's wishes. He has some things going on right now that he needs to handle himself. Sir Ken has good reasons behind his actions, as you'll know after hearing what Kenshin went through today."
He looks at her, "I guess I'll stay, but only on one condition. You have to tell me what happened to Kenshin today, every detail."
She nods & they sit down next to Yahiko so that Megumi could tell the tale.
