If you can answer this question I'll post half of the last few chapters (I think that's like at least 6).

How old am I? (Ahara, you know this already right? So you can't tell! Tanya, I don't want you telling! Dev, Sweetangel8, and Christina can't tell either!) JUST GUESS! If you can get within one year I'll post em!  BTW: I've reached over 50,000 words!!!

PLEASE REVIEW!!!

Chapter 36

Kat and Kenshin made an odd sight walking down the street together.

Kat was still wearing her fit-for-a-princess kimono and Kenshin was holding a huge periwinkle parasol over both of them.

Every shop keeper was staring out of their windows at the couple since they made such an odd sight.

No one else but them was walking through the street

"That's the store," Kenshin said.

"So this is where you always used to buy tofu," Kat said.

Kenshin opened the door for her.

Kageunsei and Suzaku tried to follow but Kat stopped them, "I don't think many people want two wolves in their shop."

Kageunsei growled and sat down on the step.

Kenshin shut the paper door behind him and walked up to the shop keeper, "I'd like to buy two sticks of tofu please."

The woman nodded and disappeared into another room.

Kat began to browse the shop and came across a wind chime, "Kenshin, isn't this cute?"

Kat showed him the wind chime.

It clinked and Kenshin smiled at the little fish painted on it, "It is pretty, that it is. Would you like me to buy it for you?"

Kat smiled like a little kid who had been given candy.

She threw her arms around Kenshin, "Thanks!"

The woman came back in with a bucket full of water and tofu, "Here you are. Do you want the wind chime too?"

"Yes please," Kenshin said.

He handed the woman some money and they left the store.

They hadn't walked five steps when the woman came through the door, "Ma'am! Ma'am! I accidentally overcharged you!"

"Thank you," Kat said but the woman walked passed her.

The sales lady came up to Kenshin and dropped a few coins into his palm, "I'm sorry ma'am! Please forgive me!"

Kat flushed red with anger, "Oh come on! With an ass like that I don't see how most people can mistake him for a girl!"

Kenshin's face matched the color of his hair as he flushed from embracement.

He sweat dropped, "Oro? You didn't think I was a girl the first time you saw me did you?"

Kat shook her head, "Like I said, not many girls have an ass like that!"  

Kenshin rubbed the back of his head while Kat laughed.

The sales lady excused herself and left.

The hollow sound of hooves came to their ears.

Kageunsei bristled and growled.

Kenshin and Kat continued to laugh as the carriage came near.

The horses picked up speed and began to thunder towards them.

The carriage was a just barely ten feet away when Kenshin took notice of it.

The horses neighed and reared.

Kenshin swept Kat off her feet and dodged the hooves just in time. 

Then the carriage thundered on by and a voice echoed through the streets, "I am the Battousai! Let this be a warning!"

Kenshin stood up and dragged Kat to her feet, "Are you ok?

Kat looked down at her shredded kimono and scraped skin.

She had cut her arm and it was bleeding but other than that, she was fine.

Kenshin spotted the blood and his eyes glowed amber.

Kat turned her gaze back to the street and gasped.

Suzaku's tattered and limp body lay there with a wheel print running over her chest.

Crimson fur lay plastered against her body and short quaking breaths made her chest rise and fall.

Suzaku!? Kageunsei was by her side and licking her wound.

Kenshin and Kat rushed over.

Suzaku sucked in a ragged breath I'm sorry.

For what?

That I have to leave you soon. Suzaku coughed and blood ran from her mouth.

It's not your fault. Kageunsei whined.

I have to leave you.

No. No you don't!

I wish I didn't, I really do but I can't feel my legs I can't feel anything.

Kageunsei whined Don't do this to me.

Suzaku coughed again and a massive amount came from her mouth. I l-ove y-

She wasn't able to finish her sentence before she coughed again.

Her entire body shook as she began to choke on the blood.

Her massive white head fell to the ground and scarlet tears ran down her face.

Kageunsei stared at her in shock Forgive me my blossom, Saku.

There was a black streak and Kageunsei took off into the night I'LL SHOW YOU WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ANGER THE REAL BATTOUSAI!

(A/N: Sad ne? Scarlet tears were once used to describe deep sadness in poetry. PLEASE REVIEW!!!)
