Maybe it's Not a Place
Part 3
By Jean Lyons
Sorry this has taken so long.... I've been spending more time reading than writing... I've been reading the RK manga, finally. I need to find a way to put Kamatari in this story... He's/she's the coolest!!! Poor Misao, she found out that Kamatari was a guy the WRONG way... But it was hilarious! He kinda... um... showed her.
Misao: Oh my god, it's a freakin' elephant!!!
That's what she said... That would be a compliment to any guy but him. I think I might copy that scene into my bio so that everyone will know once and for all the gender of Kamatari!
************************************************************************
Ryo finally died, leaving a very broken up Katai. Katai was going insane. She would be perfectly fine one minute, then homicidal the next. They were afraid she was bipolar, but Megumi couldn't really tell them, because she was the one Katai was trying to kill. Of course, Kenshin always managed to restrain her and eventually calm her down. He once more hid her sword from her, which wasn't hard considering that Katai was blind. Kenshin still worried. Not only was his wife losing her mind, but Megumi was in danger because of this.
Kenshin, being the calm person that he was, could generally keep Katai fairly subdued, so the only time anyone was in danger was if Kenshin wasn't there and no one could restrain Katai. Normally, if Sei and Kenji were around, the two of them could restrain her with some difficulty, but only id she was attacking someone other than Megumi. If she was attacking Megumi, it was with such ferocity that only Kenshin could hold her back.
She had a lot of pent up frustration and her favorite people to blame for this were Megumi and the still nameless man that had raped her so long ago. Since the man hadn't been seen in twenty years, she mostly just took her anger out on the poor doctor.
The Man-being-gone-for-20-years was an arrangement Katai liked, but unfortunately, it wasn't to last.
Kenshin was outside doing laundry (Katai hated the job) when an unpleasantly familiar man walked up. Kenshin continued with the laundry, not looking up.
"So you married even after all that, huh?" said the man.
"Yes."
"Got kids?"
"Three."
"Why won't you look at me?"
"I don't want to see you."
"You think if you don't look at me I won't be real? Let me tell you something. I'm real. And I'm here. Now where is she? I've got some things to say to her."
"She's not home."
"You sound mad."
"Yes."
"You really hate me don't you?"
"Yes."
"Let me tell you something that'll make you hate me more. I'm the least sorry for what I did. I'd do it again, but prison wasn't much fun. Your police friend, Saitou was his name, right?"
"Yes."
"He turned me in. That's where I've been all these years. Just got released today, thought I'd honor you with a friendly visit."
"I'm not feeling very sociable today, that I am not. Please leave." Flecks of gold sparkled in his eyes. To someone that knew him well, this would have been warning enough.
"Why? You don't think you can do anything about it, do you?"
Kenshin dried his hands on a nearby towel and stood up. He was about a foot shorter than the man, but his height had never stopped him killing anyone he had to during the Bakumatsu.
"You gonna kill me? All because I stuck my dick in your wife's hot little hole? God, you're crazy."
The hitokiri within Kenshin whispered, "Are you going to let him talk to you this way? About your wife?"
"I won't let you talk about my wife that way!" Kenshin yelled, drawing his sword.
Just then, Katai stepped into the yard. "What on earth...KENSHIN, NO!!!!!!" She ran to him and dragged him backward by his neck. "Kenshin, what on earth are you doing? Give me that." She took his sword and approached the man. If anyone would kill this man, it would be her. Within seconds, the man was lying on the ground, Katai's foot on his chest, keeping him from getting up, sword pointed straight down at his throat. "Kenshin?"
"Yes?"
"Should I?"
"Let him go."
She handed the sword back to its rightful owner and let the man up. "Just know, that if you come anywhere near here again, I'll not hesitate to kill you. Even he won't stop me next time."
"Just leave," said Kenshin.
"Kenshin?" said Katai, "I would have killed him. Why didn't you let me?" She knew the answer.

I know, I know, I'll have your list of complaints soon, right? Too much death, she can't be insane, too short, Kenshin went Battousai on someone... etc. etc. etc.
Sorry.
I'll try to work on my cage of dead ppl, which Ryo has joined.
Kaoru: Yay!!! It wasn't the rapist guy!
Mike: Yay!!! **Hugs Kaoru**
Kaoru: **Tries to kill Mike but realizes with a frown that he's already dead.**
Bye all!!!
Sushi and Sake, Jean ^_^
