After sitting down and actually logically thinking this whole story
through, I've come up with explanation to unanswered questions, plus, I'm
running a contest.
Major Issues:
Question #1: Why would Kenshin get married in the first place?: Okay, Kenshin fell in love with Tomoe, who was a spy as well (in the same league with Kamiya Kaoru), and when his accomplices found out, they killed her and he did nothing to stop it. Note: Kenshin is still Battoussai at this time. After her death, Kenshin was never the same again, and murdered many people over the time period of two years in his grief. Deciding that he needed to move on, he was willing to do anything to forget her, and marries Kaoru a woman he 'coincidentally' meets off the internet. The marriage, however, doesn't prove to help him get over his grief and he remains as pulled away and drawn back from society as ever.
Question #2: Why doesn't Kenshin use his super Battoussai powers and check Kaoru out?: Because he is too much wrapped in his own little world to notice anything of this importance and magnitude. His personality is the one we all know and love, a friendly and loving man; in other words: his rurouni side, and little distracted at times. But his Battoussai side refuses to allow him to forget about Tomoe, and often both personalities are battling, resulting in him being deep in thought, quiet and troubled. With all this going on inside of himself, he hasn't the time to run an investigation on his current wife.
Question #3: Why did Kaoru agree to this?: It was suspected that Battoussai had murdered her family, who had held a high status in society at the time. Himura Kenshin was the closest they had to him (still no idea what his true identity was); he matched the description exactly and had a very hazy past. Unfortunately, that was not enough data to allow the Bureau to take him into custody; therefore, they needed someone, preferably a woman, to get close to him so they could investigate him. Kaoru jumped at the prospect of taking the assignment and arranged a meeting in a chatroom. They married within a year and a half; Kaoru planned to get an annulment after they had solid evidence that he was the Battoussai.
Question #4: Why didn't the government arrest Kenshin instead of all this sneaking around?: The Battoussai has never been attached to a real name, simply physical attributes. Therefore, there is no solid proof that Himura Kenshin is the real Battoussai. As soon Kamiya Kaoru finds evidence (documents, tapes, etc.) The Bureau will arrest Himura and send him to a secure prison until an appropriate court date is given.
Question #5: What did Kaoru tell him to keep her secret?: A number of things, actually. Kaoru first told him that her name was Kaoru Sagara, the last name of her adopted older brother Sanosuke (one out of the three Kamiya's not murdered), ensuring that Himura would not recognize her last name and become suspicious. Second, Kenshin is under the impression that Kaoru's family died in a boat accident some ten years ago. Kaoru also told Kenshin that she taught kendo in her 'father's' dojo, in actuality, her adoptive brothers, Sanosuke Sagara and Yahiko, purchased it as soon as the couple was married. Himura Sagara Kaoru was originally born in Spain, but moved to Japan with her family when she five months old.
Minor Issues:
Saitoh the 'boss man': Saitoh will not be satisfied until the Battoussai is either behind bars or rotting in his grave; the latter preferred. In which case, he will not allow Kaoru to close the mission until they are completely positive that Himura Kenshin is not the Battoussai; which they aren't.
Well, that's all I have for now; how's THAT for plot development?! N E wayz, this might be the last time I can update for a number of days, even though I'm working on the actual chapter 2, it's not finished. Maybe I can upload it at school, because my parents don't like me to be on the internet during the school year. So, if I don't update, again, Sayonara for now!
