Kaoru woke up and looked around the room she looked outside to see it was
late "looks like I hit you a lot harder then I hoped to, oh well at least
you'll be awake to see me fight the Battousai." Kaoru's head was spinning
and every muscle in her body ached with pain and she felt her heart sink.
Frowning she watched as the moon sun slowly sank into the ground, tonight
was the night the Kenshin would fight, what if he never made it? what if he
lost and she was left alone? what if he was badly wounded? what if? what
if? That was all she could think, trying to push away the negative thoughts
only more came making her even more worried then before. "Finally I get to
fight against the great legendary Hitokiri Battousai," the figure laughed
and walked back over to Kaoru "you leave Kenshin alone!" Kaoru cried, "you
heartless Bastard!" "shut-up wench" the person yelled slapping Kaoru across
the face. "Your nothing but a cruel ass hole who just wants to destroy the
Battousai like all the others!" Kaoru yelled before she was thrown across
the room, "is that all you've got?" Kaoru cried before she was punched in
the stomach "shut your fucking mouth bitch" yelled the stranger "don't you
care about any one but yourself you cruel, heartless..." but before Kaoru
could finish she was thrown onto the floor and kicked and punched "fuck
you" Kaoru said before falling unconscious. "If I didn't want to Battousai
to see you then your head would be on the other side of this room now."
Kaoru just lay there helpless, the night was still young for Kenshin to train but Kaoru's life was reaching its edge.

Kenshin woke up against the wall, it was dark outside and he needed to get ready for his battle. He looked in a mirror and rolled his eyes when he saw that he wasn't the young Kenshin anymore but the one with the low ponytail and red hair that had lightened. He walked outside for some practice.
He charged at a wooden pole his sword out ready to strike, no mercy would be given, none would be given to the bastard who stole Kaoru from him, he would receive no mercy. Kenshin would make the man beg on his knees, plead for his life to be spared, Kenshin wouldn't kill the man but he would hurt him...badly. He looked at the moon his battle was soon to come and Kaoru would be safe from harm, he decided then that it was time he headed towards the Akebeko where he would meet the man who stole the woman he loved. Kenshin stopped and shook his head, no he couldn't love Kaoru, he was a wanderer and he couldn't get attached to anyone for their safety especially Kaoru's. He reached the Akebeko sooner then he thought, early he sat on a nearby bench and waited for Kaoru's kidnapper to appear.
Soon he heard rustling in the bushes and out stepped the man still covered in shadows "follow me" he said in a deep voice that sounded almost fake but Kenshin didn't care, what did a voice matter? He followed the man deeper and deeper into the woods wondering where he was being taken and if Kaoru was okay.

Kaoru looked up and struggled against her binds, she was sitting in a box like memorial like she had done when Kenshin had fought Jinei. She smiled and called out his name but he didn't hear her, his eyes were colored amber and he was glaring at the shadowed human. It was dark and quiet until she heard a loud cling, it was the noise of metal against metal, sword against sword, it was Kenshin but it was to dark to see him. Looking around she frowned when the moon glowed to reveal Kenshin and the shadow charging at each other, each had blood on them and Kaoru watched as Kenshin disappeared and reappeared behind the figure. They were both so fast it was hard to keep up with the battle that was happening but Kaoru's eyes darted back and forth trying to see what was happening. Then Kenshin jumped into the air his sword raised high above his head ready to be brought down on the figure before they dodged with ease. Kenshin growled with anger and quickly dodged a sword that was about to slice though his head. Growling Kenshin ran towards the man but he soon disappeared and reappeared behind Kenshin, "Kenshin watch out!" Kaoru called. Kenshin immediately turned and blocked the sword with his own making a loud noise, Kaoru felt a wave of energy pass by her and she gasped when she saw the Reverse Blade Sword split is half. She screamed and watched Kenshin fall to the ground forming his own pool of blood, "the fool thought he was actually going to be able to defeat me" the person laughed and Kaoru felt tears fall down her face "Kenshin!" she called out and cried even harder when she received no answer, "Kenshin please wake up Kenshin please" but Kaoru he only received and turn of Kenshin's head and a weak reply "Miss Kaoru, you shouldn't be crying, you don't look good with tears in your eyes." He flinched as Kaoru got out of her small prison and ran over to him "Kenshin why did you come after me?" she asked "I came after you Miss Kaoru," Kenshin said with difficulty, "I came after you because I love you and I didn't want you to get hurt that I didn't." Kaoru was shocked and screamed when Kenshin closed his eyes "NO KENSHIN DON'T GO PLEASE KENSHIN DON'T LEAVE ME I LOVE YOU TOO KENSHIN PLEASE DON'T DIE I LOVE YOU!"

Yahiko's eyes shot open and he jumped out of his futon, "Kenshin!" he called out with a look of both worry and excitement on his face. Quickly opening the door to Kenshin's room Yahiko looked around 'he's gone' Yahiko frowned as his thoughts raced. He ran over to Sano's room and quickly opened the door kicking Sano in the side, "watch it" Sano yelled throwing him across the room before closing his eyes again "Sano Kenshin's gone to get Kaoru!" Sano's eyes shot open, now he was awake. He jumped out of his futon and ran over to Kenshin's room seeing indeed that Kenshin's futon was empty. "Darn that little" Sano said making fists, he watched Yahiko run outside, Sano ran after him and found Yahiko climbing up a cherry tree looking over the dojo gate in hopes to spot the two.
Sano sat on the steps before getting angry and began to pace along the grass.

Kaoru's eyes shot open, her blue eyes were wet with tears and she suddenly realized that it had all been a dream. But it had seemed so real, struggling to release herself she found herself imprisoned in a small box memorial just like in her dream. Looking around she heard some bushes moving and pushed aside, about ready to scream or break down crying out came Kenshin and the shadowed human. Kaoru smiled "Kenshin" she called out happily, he turned to face her "don't worry Miss Kaoru I'll protect you" Kaoru smiled but froze when the shadowed demon lifted up his hand. With a smile Kaoru felt a wave of energy pass through her and before she knew it she was gasping for air, she tried to speak but no words came out this was like the battle against Jinei. Once more the battle raged on through her mind, she saw Kenshin look at her in a shocked expression "what did you do to Miss Kaoru?!" he asked angrily "all I did was freeze her lungs and weaken her energy "I would've killed her along time ago Battousai but I wanted her to see your defeat." Then the figure stepped out of the shadows with a smug look on their face and Kenshin could only gasp at what he saw while Kaoru was losing air.
Kaoru just lay there helpless, the night was still young for Kenshin to train but Kaoru's life was reaching its edge.
