Chapter 9: Finale
" Siye look out!!!" but before she could see what was to happen..it was too late. She fell to the ground, sword stabbed in her back and blood dripping down her icy back. She felt guilty for getting blood all over Yahiko's Gi, but it looked like it didn't matter to him much. She dozed out, barely being able to tell what was going on, things began blacking out little by little. She could feel her heart suddenly skip a beat and she passed out. Yahiko caught her and felt an indescribable rage come over him. ":: If I didn't offer her my Gi this never would have happened, he would have seen me instead, hang on Siye, don't die on me please," He then cringed as he pulled the sword out from her back and watched as the blood dripped from his Gi, then letting his emotions take charge of him he dropped the sword and picked Siye up. Matsu glared at Yahiko for a moment then scowled, " How dare you grope my daughter?!" He scowled as Yahiko blushed and didn't even notice that when he carried her, one hand was around her shoulders, the other was under her butt.
" I'm sorry I didn't- Matsu snatched Siye out of Yahiko's hands, " For now I'll let this slide, but I don't want you near my daughter, who knows what things you two did when you were alone!" He snapped as Yahiko was blushing intensely, " Look we didn't even talk to each other the whole time, She only borrowed my Gi because she was cold!" " This is not the time to discuss this," Kenshin replied as he pulled Yahiko and Kaoru's hand and kept running until they suddenly reached a dead end. " It's a dead end Kenshin!" Kaoru shouted as Eshingi showed up from behind, the sword Yahiko dropped on the floor in hand ready to strike, " :: I can prove to everyone that I am strong, I will show Siye's dad that I only want to protect her,::" Yahiko thought gripping the handle tightly, " You guys stand back, this is my fight," He said with a serious tone.
" but Yahiko." Kaoru started as Eshingi pointed his sword to Yahiko's face, " Fine then little boy, you shall be the first on my execution list," He said pulling the sword then back into the sheath and getting into an odd stance, this stance required the weight to rely on the back right leg while the front leg was used to push on to get full force, he would do it quickly and just, leading to a quick and painless death to the unprepared ones.
" Be careful Yahiko you don't know what this guy is capable of!" Kenshin said as Yahiko got in his stance, " don't worry, as long as I have the Kamiya Kassin style on my side, I know that I can do this, I just need faith on my skill," Yahiko assured them, " Kamiya Kassin style is the sword that protects people, does he have someone in mind that he wants to protect? Or could it be the will to survive that keeps him going?" Kaoru asked herself as Eshingi began the attack, with his speed he managed to go faster then the eye can see, he sliced through Yahiko in nothing flat. " too slow!" Yahiko shouted suddenly appearing behind Eshingi and attacking him from behind, " I see, so the will to protect someone keeps you going does it?" Eshingi asked slashing in an upwards movement. Yahiko had jumped back from the blow, leaving a scar across his shoulder and arm. He then got down to one knee clutching his shoulder as blood seeped from it. " :: I'm okay, I just need to find this guy's weak spot,::" Yahiko then noticed as Eshingi plotted his next move that there was a slight limp in his side, perhaps if he hit that part hard enough it would knock him out. He got back on his feet as Eshingi was ready to make another direct blow, rushing again towards Yahiko he did make the direct hit he wanted across Yahiko's chest and leaving wounds down his legs as well, Eshingi finished in his pose with a huge smirk and a feeling of Victory, Yahiko fell to his knees and had his sword as a crutch, " Had enough yet?" Eshingi challenged, Yahiko's defeated expression turned to also a victorious smile, " Giving me just enough time to do exactly what I wanted," Eshingi suddenly widened his eyes as a shot of pain filtered through his body, " You...little..brat..!" He shouted twitching his eyes.
" As strong as your reputation is I was able to trigger your weak spot," Yahiko started, limping from the wound and clutching his shoulder again, " Even though it cost me some scars it was worth it to kick your sorry butt, you deserved it!"
Siye fluttered her eyes open, and turned and noticed Yahiko with scars running all across his body, " I can't forgive you for what you did to Siye and Kenshin as well as the others, but I decided because I am a good guy that I will spare your life on one condition, that you never come near any of us ever again," Eshingi growled under his breath, " I would rather die then receive such humiliation," He muttered, " ::Yahiko.::" siye thought as Yahiko sheathed his sword, " If you want to kill me go ahead, but I am not going to kill you, no one deserves to die, not even a jerk like you,"

Siye appeared at the dojo a few days after the incident with bandages, soup, medicine, and some tea. Kaoru opened the door and greeted Siye warmly, " Hello Siye! What brings you here?" " Good morning Kaoru-dono! Is Yahiko here, I want to supply him with some goods before I go to work, oh and my dad also wanted to drop a letter off to you guys as well!" Siye handed Kaoru one of the two envelopes in her pile of goods she brought, " Its to thank you for all the help with what happened," " Oh thank you Siye! Why don't you go down the hall towards Yahiko's room, I think he caught a little bit of a cold or something so that soup will really come in handy!" Siye nodded happily and made her way down the hall and slowly opened the door to see Kenshin unwrapping some of Yahiko's bandages, Yahiko was shirtless.
" Good morning Siye-dono! What brings you here?" " Oh, well I just brought some medicine and stuff like that to help the wounds heal for Yahiko," Siye said walking over and placing the pile of stuff besides Yahiko's bed. " Speaking of wounds, aren't you supposed to be at the doctor or something Siye?" Yahiko asked, " Oh, um well I think it will be alright, my wounds aren't nearly ask severe as yours so I thought that I'd better take care of you," Kenshin stood and took the dirty bandages with him, " Oh you brought some bandages I see, well I think I'll just throw these away and I'll leave you two alone ^_^" Kenshin said tiptoeing out the door.
Siye got to work and began getting out the new bandages and dressing his wounds, Yahiko blushed and turned his head, " Hey Siye why do you keep caring for me when you know I am still going out with Tsubame?" Siye raised an eyebrow, " Just because you are going out with Tsubame doesn't mean that we can't be friends can it?" She asked tying the bandage. " Well no, its just.." Siye smiled, " It doesn't matter Yahiko, besides friendship is good enough for me, I guess I was just too carried away with my emotions to think about anything else," She sighed and then grabbed a larger bandage to tie around his chest, " Yahiko could you lay down? It would be much easier to tie this bandage," Yahiko did so and watched as Siye damped a cloth in water first then began dabbing it gently over the wounds, " Ouch! Hey that hurts!" Yahiko protested trying to sit up, " Well excuse me, but I think a tough guy like you can handle it, besides it must have hurt 20 times more to get these wounds then it does to heal them," She hummed softly to herself as she applied the bandages and then got out a separate cloth, and damped his forehead, " Hey whats that for?" He asked.
Siye chuckled to herself, " this is for your hot Egotistical head of yours!" She said as he literally became hot headed, She couldn't help but laugh but then noticed that he sat back up and got out of bed, pinning her to the ground, " Who you calling hot headed?!" He asked, " You idiot!!" She replied overpowering him and pinning him onto the ground, " Ow ow hey watch it!!" He shouted, She jumped back startled, " Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" She helped him sit up but then something happened that she totally never saw happening. He suddenly grabbed her shoulders and then brushed his lips softly against hers, unfairly. Siye was stunned, she never even imagined this would happen in her life.
She then realized that she was trapped in a kiss. His hand was now on her cheek and she could feel herself being drawn into it. She then rested her hands on his shoulders, kissing him back with burning desire. Suddenly the kiss broke and she couldn't believe what just happened, " Siye.." He said as Siye picked up her things, " Yahiko...I can't stay....I can't do this.....Tsubame is your girl not me I don't deserve to be with you," She began running towards the door until Kenshin had re-entered and stopped her from going any farther, " Siye-dono why are you in such a hurry?" " I am late for work, thank you for letting me stay here goodbye!" Siye bowed gently and then as Kenshin moved aside and Siye left with tears streaming down her cheeks.
Kenshin gazed into the room, Yahiko rested his arm on his knee and his face was shadowed, " Yahiko what happened?" Kenshin asked, " Kenshin..." Yahiko paused and shook his head, " ....Siye is never coming back.."
Hows that for an ending? HAHAHAHH u hate it don't you? Well if u want me to make a ending or something please don't hesitate to ask! Lol bye!
