Chapter Six

Kenshin had memorized just where everybody was. But you never know, some people could have moved when the lights went out. He slinked back over to the bar room, unsheathed his katana, and slashed at a man who didn't even live long enough to scream out in pain.

Kenshin moved through the room, killing five different people. He had brought along a katana that Katsura had given him as a prop, and he walked over to Tokishi. Whipping the blood from off his sword, it all splattered on Tokishi. Kenshin put the prop katana in Tokishi's hand then ran off into another part of the room just before the lights went back on.

Everybody gasped at what they saw. But the one who gasped the most, was Kaoru. Looking around herself at the dead bodies, she screamed out in pure horror. One man had been killed through the stomach. Another man was a waiter. The other three were men apparently just businessmen.

'It's horrible!!!' she screamed mentally. It had been the first time she had ever seen such horrible death. She glared at Kenshin. 'That's one strike out of three, Kenshin! How dare he kill them all! I know it was him!!!'

Kenshin saw Kaoru's glare. 'Why is she glaring at me?' he wondered. Then he saw the way she looked at the dead bodies. 'Uh oh. . .'

Everybody turned to Tokishi, who held onto the prop katana, shocked. "I. . .I didn't do it! I swear! I don't know where this sword came from!!!" he cried. He backed up a bit when everybody started to glare at him.

"He killed my husband!" cried one woman, holding onto her dead husband.

"He killed my best employee!!!" cried the manager, holding onto the waiter

The famous man known as Munusu, shrieked out, "He's killed three of my best businessmen!!!" He clutched his head and then turned to glare at Tokishi. "How could you!?! You betrayed us!!! You're the only one here with a sword!!! You must have killed them!!!"

Over at the back of the room, Kenshin turned his body so they couldn't see his katana. He stared up and started whistling, then mentally slapped himself. 'What am I doing!!!'

        Then another part of him cried out, 'ORO!!!'

The Battousai part raised an eyebrow. 'Must you always say that???'

Kaoru became angry. 'He killed them! Kenshin killed them! I've never seen such slaughter in all my life! He's so ice cold! Why must he always be like this!!!' she screamed mentally again. She got so angry; that she didn't realize that another thunder boom was heard overhead.

She saw Kenshin and Katsura signaling for her to stop, but she couldn't. The thunder grew louder and louder, faster and faster and faster. Kenshin ran over to her, grabbed her shoulders and shrieked, "KAORU!!! STOP!!! CALM DOWN!!!"

Kaoru looked down at her feet, anger still building inside of her. 'He's so icy to me. . .why can't HE calm down . . .' she thought.

Kenshin got the hint after a few moments. He stopped shaking her and gently rubbed her shoulders. "Kaoru. . ." he said, his voice soft but crisp. "Calm down, Kaoru. . ."

Kaoru looked up at Kenshin, amazed at his change of attitude. 'He sounds so. . .gentle. . .' she thought. Her eyes grew wide and became their normal dark blue. The thunder stopped as well did the rain.

But Kenshin's softness didn't last for long. 'What am I thinking? I've gotta stop acting so weird around her . . .' he thought.

'I think Kaoru-dono liked it . . .' said the modest side of Kenshin, very polite like.

'Yah well what do you know? HUH???' snapped the Battousai.

The modest side of Kenshin ran off into the background, clutching his head screaming, 'OROROROROROROROROROROROROROROROROROROROororororororororororoooooooooooooooo oooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!' he ran off so that he became an ant and then Battousai couldn't see him anymore.

Kenshin glared at Kaoru. "Now come on! We've got some business to do!" he hissed. He led her back over to Katsura. That's when he heard thunder up above again and the lights went out.

Kenshin rolled his eyes, though nobody could see him do it. That's when he got an idea. He ran over to Tokishi and slashed him as many times as possible. But this time Kenshin made the mistake of allowing him to scream before it was cut off by death.

Kenshin grimaced, and realized Kaoru had done this on purpose. He grew angry, angrier then ever before he had been with her. He had to get out of there. His mission was done. Tokishi was dead. His reputation: dead. He ran back over to the entrance and ran out of there, running into the rain.

Kaoru heard him running, and ran out with him, still wearing the golden dress. Katsura and Noyu just watched her go and both decided to stick around to see what would happen when the lights went back on . . .

Kaoru ran out into the rain and saw Kenshin's dark figure standing in front of her. She grabbed his shoulders and cried out, "YOU DIDN'T HAVE TO KILL INNOCENT PEOPLE!!!"

Kenshin glared at her, his amber eyes solid with anger. "I had to. They were a sacrifice for the right thing!"

Thunder was heard overhead.

"Sacrifice?!? For the RIGHT thing??? How's that, Kenshin Himura???" Kaoru demanded, putting her hands on her hips, her eyes part aqua with a little pink.

Kenshin growled angrily. 'Sessha really shouldn't be doing this. Kaoru-dono is just angry because she's never seen such manslaughter before,' said the modest side.

'OH SHUT UP!' screamed Battousai.

'ORO!'

"The right thing? I'm trying to make Japan a better place! To STOP the chaos! To create a new era! The innocent that I kill are only killed because they have seen an assassin's face!!!" Kenshin screamed over the rain.

"WELL IT SEEMS TO ME THAT YOU'RE JUST MAKING IT WORSE!" Kaoru screamed over the rain also. She was dripping wet, the golden dress clinging to her wet body. Her hair was wet, pressed against her face and her eyes grew more and more pink, then more and more red.

Kenshin's amber eyes widened when he saw Kaoru's pure red ones. Above them, the thunder grew louder and the lightning had turned an odd color of red. He looked back down at Kaoru. 'What do I say to her? Should I tell her?' he wondered.

'Tell her what?' asked Battousai.

'My feelings of course! I must tell Kaoru-dono my feelings, de gazoru yo!' the modest side of Kenshin cried out.

'Oh take a hike, would you?' The Battousai asked.

'ORO!'

Kenshin saw that Kaoru was now crying. She cried silently, until sobs came out. 'I tried to give him a chance! But now that I see how he kills . . .he's a horrible beast! He'll never be tamed! I don't see what Tomoe sees in him!!!!' she screamed mentally.

Somehow, Kenshin could hear her even though the thunder and lightening was getting louder when she whispered, "I . . . hate you!" His eyes grew big and suddenly he felt a search of lightening go through his heart.

'Was I struck by lightening? Or am I feeling a broken heart?' Kenshin asked himself. 'Well. . .I'm still alive so I wasn't hit by lightening. . .she hates me? She hates me!' Kenshin nearly broke down in tears.

'Why do I feel this way about her?' he asked himself. 'Why? Why must I be tormented every time she flirts with somebody else? When she mocks me or tells me she hates me! WHY????' Kenshin screamed mentally.

'Maybe it's because you love Kaoru-dono?' the modest side asked.

'Do I?' Battousai asked.

The modest side smiled a famous Rurouni smile. 'Hai. Hai I do believe that I do!' he said.

For the first time, Battousai smiled at his Rurouni side. 'I think you're right. But we've got a problem here. She just said she hates me!' he cried.

Kaoru raised an eyebrow when she saw Kenshin mentally fighting with himself. 'Looks like a really bad battle. . .' she thought. 'Oh whatever! I'm out of here! Now's my chance to get away!' she thought. 'But do I want to run away?' she asked herself for the millionth time that night.

'Oh yah. . .' Rurouni said.

They both said at the same time, 'Hmmmm. . .'

That's when Rurouni snapped his fingers, smiling. 'I know! Why don't you let ME take over for a while?' he asked.

Battousai rolled his eyes. 'Then everybody would think me going soft!' he shouted.

'So?'

'Well. . .uhh. . .errr. . .'

'That's what I thought . . .'

Kaoru began to run away from him, but Kenshin just ran after her. He gently grabbed her shoulder, turned her around and lifted her chin so she could see him. She gasped when she saw his eyes. They were violet.

'His eyes. . .they're violet. . .' she thought. Kenshin's eyes were a soft, passionate looking violet without even the smallest of traces of amber. Kaoru didn't allow herself to smile, though on the insides she was dancing around with joy.

The rain stopped and the sun came out. Kaoru looked up at Kenshin, almost finding herself staring at his lips. They got closer and closer until their lips were brushing each other when suddenly, "OI HIMURA!!! WHATCHA DOIN? OI HIMUR. . ." Noyu couldn't say anything more because Katsura and just tied him up, gagged him and threw him in a nearby river.

Kenshin shot one look up at Katsura, amber flashing through his eyes. Katsura got the hint and looked up at the sky and started whistling. Kenshin looked back down at Kaoru. 'Watch the pro, Battousai,' said the Rurouni.

'Whatever. . .'

Kaoru's eyes flew wide open when she felt the deep and passionate kiss that Kenshin was giving her. But after a while she closed her eyes and enjoyed the beautiful kiss with Kenshin.

'What are you doing???' Battousai asked.

'What's it look like?' asked Rurouni, a bit irritated.

'Oh stop it!!!' Battousai shrieked. 'Katsura's watching!!!'

'I'll let you take over once I'm done!!!' an irritated Rurouni cried out.

Finally, Kenshin pulled back from Kaoru and gave her a bright and cheery smile. "Don't worry, Kaoru-dono. It'll all be worked out after a while. . ." he told her. He nearly laughed out-loud when he saw Kaoru's eyebrow raise when he called her 'Kaoru-dono'

'NOW GIMMIE BACK MY BODY!!!!' Battousai screamed.


'YOU'RE body???' Rurouni asked. He sighed. 'Very well. . . I'm outa here . . .'

Kenshin's eyes turned back to their normal amber color, the violet going out ever so slowly until his eyes were solid amber. "Let's go home now. . ." he told her softly.

Kaoru nodded.

Kenshin took his hand from her chin. 'I've gotta act like I always used to! I can't go soft!!!' Battousai screamed. Kenshin fiercely took Kaoru's hand and led her back to a car and they drove off toward the skyscraper.

Kaoru smiled. 'I think after just that, I've finally put something on him. . .' she nearly giggled. 'But now he's back to Battousai I guess. I've never seen him with violet eyes. . .I hope he does that more often. . .' she thought.

Kenshin stared at her. 'I've got to calm down. Sure that kiss might have felt. . . really good. . .but I've got to act normal!' he told himself.

'Sure you do. . . right,' Rurouni mocked.

'WOULD YOU GO AWAY?!?!?!?!'

'OROOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!'
