Oh yah, I forgot to mention, Kenshin can see everything the battousai does
but the battousai can't see everything he does.

Chapter 17
Kat watched Kenshin sleep.
The muscles in his face had slackened making him look ten years younger.
The fire had died down but it was snowing too hard to go outside and Kat was afraid to use any wood from the house to rebuild the fire.
Kenshin stirred a bit and yawned.
"Sleep well?" Kat asked.
Kenshin looked down and almost had a heart attack.
Kat was laying on a futon next to him only about six inches away.
To his relief, she was fully clothed as was he.
"Yes," he smiled.
"How's your foot?" Kat asked.
He wiggled his toes and a white hot pain shot up his leg, "Sprained."
"Sprained? I just saw you sitting on it," Kat said.
He rubbed his head and yawned again.
"How do we fix it?"
"Well it should heal itself in a week," Kenshin said.
"A week?!" Kat exclaimed.
"It's not like I haven't done it before," he protested.
Kat remembered something, "Oh no!"
She jumped up, "I forgot about Inuyasha!"
"He's fine. He's fully healed and back at the hut," Kenshin said while sitting up.
"How do you know?" Kat asked.
"Wished," he said casually.
"Shouldn't we go back to the hut?" Kat asked.
"Not now, that snow storm is gonna last for a few days and I can't do anything with this foot."
"Couldn't I drag you back after the storm?"
"The drifts will be too high to get out of the house. We'll have to wait until it melts."
"Then what will we eat?"
A short table covered end to end with food appeared.
"Oh," Kat said, "Forgot about that."
He turned his gaze to her, "What about you? Are you ok?"
Kat's gaze fell to the floor, "Fine."
"Freaked out, Insomniac, Neurotic, or Ecstatic?" he asked.
She frowned at him.
"Are you ok?" he asked again.
She sat down, "No."
"Want to tell me what happened?" he asked.
She snorted, "What do you think?"
He flinched at her tone, "I'm sorry."
She turned around, "It's not your fault.."
"But I promised you that I'd always be there-"
"But you weren't you?!" she almost yelled at him.
He sighed, "No I wasn't."
Kat lightened up a bit to see how sorry he was.
She was about to tell him she was sorry too when he stopped her.
"Was my other side reading Tomoe's diary?" he asked.
"Yah, I think he just found out that Tomoe betrayed him," Kat paused, "Are you ok?"
Kenshin frowned, "huh?"
"The people you killed. Why did you do it?" Kat asked.
A dark expression replaced his frown, "The Battousai wished for excitement. That's how we came to be here. He didn't expect you to follow this far. You gave him a run for his money."
"There's something else bothering me," Kat said.
"Let me guess, you're wondering if the Battousai has feelings for you?"
Kat nodded.
"We'll if he does, I'll be the first to know."
"Kenshin!" Kat yelled.
"Ok! Ok!" he said dodging pillows, "But you'll have to find out from him."
"Kenshin!" Kat yelled again.
He threw his hands up to avoid anymore pillows, "If you want to know, you'll have to ask. Besides, I wouldn't know. We don't share all of our thoughts."
"You could have just said that to avoid the pillows," Kat pointed out.
"Oro?!"
