Chapter 3
Everyone had noticed that Karou had stiffened at the news of the girls murder. She was visibly shaken, pale, and scared.
"Kaoru....Kaoru, are you alright?" Megumi asked, scared to death for her sister.
"I saw that girl" He voice was small, as if she was afriad that if she spoke, it would be true.
"You saw her? When? Maybe you could help the police with the.." Kaoru cut Megumi off,
"No, you dont understand, I...." She stopped and looked at the faces around her, and knew instantly that they would never belive her. None of them, except maybe Aoshi, but she had a feeling that he would just be humoring her. "It's nothing, nevermind"
Before anyone could protest, Kaoru raised from the table. "I'm sorry, but I am really tired right now, I am just going to go home and get a little rest." Everyone nodded in agreement as Kaoru walked away.
Something was wrong with Kaoru, But they didn't know what.
Kaoru got home later than expected, due to the fact that she to a walk around town, followed shortly by a walk through the woods. But strangley, she hadn't even begun to get tired. So as she got home, Kaoru cleaned. She clearned her intire house from top to bottom. Vacummed, washed the walls, cleaned the carpets, bleached the counters. You name it and she got it done.
Its was four in the morning when she finally stopped long enough to rest. She laid her head down on the freashly cleaned counters. It smelled slightly of the orange cleaner she had used on them, the smeel starting to make her nauseated, but she didn't care, she needed the rest. Her eyes slowly drifted shut, but snapped open agian instantly. Every time her eyes would close, she would see the woman the Battuosai killed, and it scared her. The look in the womans eyes as she asked for help, fear, determination, hate. How could one man kill so many people..and not care.
At six in the morning, Kaoru finally drifted off, But it was a sleep full of nightmares.
She was still sleeping when Aoshi came in at noon to talk to her. He tried to wake her by calling her, but it wouldn't work, so he gave her a little shove.
"Hmmmmnnnn...go away!" She groaned. Half awake, but mostly still sleeping.
"Karou, I need to talk to you." Aoshi said in his normall monotone voice.
"Alright, fine." She grumbled, sitting up from her position on the couch.
"Now, I need to make on thing clear, I know that something happened yesturday. You werent just tired. I belive that you really saw that girl. Want to know why, becuase when Sano came to get you, you were in some kind of trans, and he almost had to knock you over to get your attention. Which is also how I knew that you didn't just see her one the side walk, you saw her in your house. This house. Want to know how I know that?" Karou nodded, to shocked to speak.
"I know that because your mother had it to." Kaoru's mouth dropped open slighlt, she couldn't beleive what she was hearing. All this time, she just thought her mom was upset all the time, not seeing ghosts!
"How..how did you know?" She asked.
"You mother told me, she wanted me to keep you safe. You see, there are people who want to kill seers like you. They know that you may ruin there jobs. You mom new this, so she asked me to protect you."
"So the fact that you and Megumi got so close was not just coinsidence?"
"No. I love Misao, but it was not just coinsidence that we got close.
Kaoru was shocked my all the information she was taking in. Her mother was a seer just like she was. Her mother had asked Aoshi to take care of her. She wondered what else is didn't know.
"Aoshi? What else don't I know about this."
Aoshi took a deep breath before speaking to her. "The Battousai killed your mother..."
Aoshi left Kaoru for a few hours to let it all sink in. She had stayed awake most the night. Staring out the window, imagining her mother dying by the hands of that murderous bastard Battousai. Her mother had been barley 30 when she died. How can that be. How could all of these things be going on around her without her even catching on to anything. Aoshi had kept his promise. He told her all she wanted to know, what her mother last saw, what mad the Battousai seek her life. She was on of the first women killed by the Battousai (Note: It is only this way for my story, so please no flames about it.)
Misao came in once to check on her, so did Megumi. But the person she spent the most time with was Yahiko. He was the last of her family, and if she was going to die, she was going to do it having spent as much time with her brother as possible.
It was about five in the morning when Kaoru finally fell to sleep, but her sleep was filled with pictures of the Battousai's killings. Men, women, childer, all dying by the hands of the Battousai. She saw a child, lying in his own blood. It was obvious that he had died slowly...and painfully.
The last image she saw shocked her the most. It was a man. He looked to be about 5'2". He wore a fusia colored out fit, slightl caked in blood. One sleeve was ripped into shreds, the other completly covered in blood. He wore long red hair, pulled slightly back from his face, some pieces of his hair fell into his eyes, slightly shading them, but not enough to hid his eyes. Those beautiful eyes. Amber and violet gently mixed, each color shinning beautifully in the moon light. It took Kaoru a moment to relize she was still sleeping, but it took her even longer to relize that he had the X shaped cross on his face.
The Battousai..."Kaoru.." It whispered. "Please dont be afriad, I need your help."
Well, that was a weird turn of events. Let me know what you think and press that button. No Flames please, I am a sensitive person....^.*'
