Sorry it took so long to post!!! My internet was down for the last few
days. At least this forced me to write a few more chapters! LOL
PLEASE REVIEW!!!
Chapter 25
Kat awoke with a start, as if her subconscious mind had awoken her because she needed to be awake.
Her heart pounding frantically, she strained her ears and stretched out her senses, as the Battousai in her told her to do, trying to determine what had woken her and if she was in danger.
Finally, she relaxed a bit.
Relief washed through her as she placed a hand over her beating heart, closed her eyes, and took a deep breath.
There was nothing to worry about, just another nightmare.
Kat rolled over and stared at Kenshin's bare back and red hair a moment before sitting up.
She brushed Kenshin's bangs away from his face and used her hand to check if he had a fever.
His forehead was burning and her heart raced.
A bowl of soup appeared on a small tray in front of her.
'He's hungry' a dark voice said.
Kat noticed Kageunsei curled up in a corner watching her, "Thanks."
Kat reached for the bowl and placed it in her lap.
Kat paused a moment then froze.
'Mayonaka is fine. He's with Sanosuke.'
Kat nodded and felt relief wash over her once again.
She opened Kenshin's mouth and placed the spoon to his lips.
Then she rubbed his throat to get him to swallow.
She did this until the bowl was empty.
The tray disappeared with the bowl.
Kat looked over Kenshin.
His sleeping face seemed to be pained and there was a slight frown on it.
Kat traced his scar with her finger tips.
She let out a small sigh. 'It's just like when we first met five years ago.'
Kenshin shifted in her lap.
Kat gazed at him hoping that he'd wake up.
Suzaku walked in and stretched.
Kenshin opened his eyes and Suzaku growled.
Kat's eyes widened in confusion and surprise.
Golden eyes stared at her and blinked.
"Kenshin, are you ok?" Kat asked.
He used a hand to rub his head and then coughed "I don't know, that I don't."
Kat frowned. 'He has the eyes of the Hitokiri but the sweetness of the Rurouni.'
"Kenshin, what's going on?" she asked.
He shook his head and blinked.
His thoughts swirled and he gasped from the pain.
Kat's frown deepened, "Kenshin?"
'He's gonna pop' muttered Kageunsei.
Kenshin quickly rolled over and vomited.
The vomit disappeared and Kenshin stayed there, in half pushup position, both hands firmly on the ground before collapsing.
Kat's swift battousai reflexes allowed her to catch Kenshin before he hit the wood floor.
She held onto him a second longer, shocked, before lying his unconscious body back down.
"What's wrong with him?!" Kat asked.
Her finger tips grazed the back of his neck and the unnatural warmth made her shiver.
'We couldn't tell you' Suzaku said.
Kat looked back down at Kenshin. 'Please don't die!'
(A/N: If you review I can post the next chapter sooner! It's getting to be annoying, the sequel's chapters are three times as long without double spacing so it makes me think, 'Where's the rest of the chapter?!' You guys will love the sequel! It's got a ton of new characters and new adventures! PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
