~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kaoru moved away from the door and headed for the window. She opened it and stood on the cushiony sill of the window. The little room was filling with smoke fast. "Oh Kenshin, what do I do now?" she thought to her self as she began to cough from inhaling the smoke.
"Batttosai, time is running thin, and so is my patience, it's time to finish this!" Musashi yelled as he jumped through the smoke towards Kenshin. kenshin's eyes were watering from the ash, and he was coughing horribly. The smoke filled the room and even Musashi proved to be having difficulty. Kenshin didn't see Musashi jumping at him. He missed Kenshin's head and hit his shoulder. Blood gushed out of his deep wound and Kenshin flung his hand to it, the blood leaking from underneathe. (A/N: I'm starting a Musashi haters club, ya wanna join?)
"How did you think you could ever protect Kaoru if you can't even protect yourself!" Musashi yelled as he choked on smoke. "Your a hyprocrytical fool battosai, stop toying with yourself and except your inevitable death!" Musashi said as he imerged once again from the smoke screen. Kenshin's face was smudged with ash, his gi bloody and torn. It wasn't looking good for Kenshin, not at all.
Meanwhile at the docks.........................
"Okay you see that guy over there? It's your job to distract him while I grab a boat, got it?" Sano said to Tsubame and Yahiko.
"No problem." Yahiko said cooly. "Distraction is my specialty."
"Show me what you got! C'mon Megumi let's go!" Sano said as he and Megumi hopped on the boat and Yahiko and Tsubame distracted the Guard.
"Hey mister?" Yahiko said innocently.
"Yah kid?"
"Why do you have such a big mustache, it looks really ugly mister!" Yahiko said enjoying himself.
"Hey kid have you ever seen a gun? If you don't leave, that'll be the last thing you'll ever see!"
"Why are you so grumpy?" Tsubame asked.
"Becasue I am."
"why?"
"Becasue my boss is a jerk."
"Why?"
"What am I talking to you for!?"
"why?"
"Come here you little brats!" The guard yelled.
"Hey guys jump on board!" Sano yelled form the un-docked boat.
"Hey! You can't do that! Come back or I'll have you arrested!' The guard yelled.
"Hmmm, nah, I really don't feel like getting arrested today. Bye!" Sano laughed as the boat took off, leaving an angered guard behind.
Back to the battle.....
Kenshin's gi had caught on fire. He tried despertaley to put it out, but it was no use. He tore off his gi, exposing his bare skin to the flames. "Battosai, we will have to finsih this an other day, believe me, you'll get yours." Musashi said as he disappeared into the flames.
"Musashi!" Kenshin yelled but it was no use. He was gone. (A/N: Don't worry people, Musashi ain't going anywhere without a sword sticking out of his chest, or something close to it! Die Musashi!)
"Kaoru!" kenshin thought as he looked up at the burnig stair case. Kenshin began to run up the stairs, dodging falling wood, and stumbling from the crumbling stairs. Then all of a sudden a set of steps collapsed. At the last second Kenshin grabbed onto the step before him. He looked down and watched as the broken wood fell to the first floor. He pulled himself up, and began to run up the stairs again. "If anything happenes to Kaoru, its my fault! I wasn't there to protect her! I didn't save her!" Kenshin thought to himself. "How could I let something like this happen to the one person who means the most to me? " Kenshin thought as a flame burnt his upper arm. He had been climbing the stairs for what seemed like an eternity. Then through the thick smoke, the outline of a door could be seen.
Kenshin ran over and banged on the door. A big metal lock made it impossible for Kenshin to enter. "Kaoru are you in there!? PLease answer me Kaoru, tell me your alive!" Kenshin yelled as he tried to bang the door down.
"Kenshin!" Kaoru screamed from the window. The smoke filled the room and she couldn't even see the door anymore.
"Hold on Kaoru, I'm coming!" Kenshin yelled. He unsheathed his sword and aimed it directly at the lock. This was a matter of life and death of the person he loved more than anything, and he sure wasn't going to mess it up! With one powerful swing of his sword, filled with determination, and the longing for his loves saftey, the lock broke apart and landed on the floor. He swung open the door, but he could see nothing. "Kaoru where are you?" Kenshn yelled.
"I'm over here! Kenshin be carefull!" kaoru screamed. Kenshin was making his way to the window when his had reached something else. It was warm and soft, and he knew it all to well. It was Kaoru's hand reaching out for his own.
Kaoru gasped when she saw Kenshin. His body was black with blood stained on it. Kaoru began to cry. He was in the condition becasue of her. Because he promised to protect her. Because she was to weak to fight her own battles and save her love all this pain. "Ken-shin." She said. Kenshin understood why she was crying.
"Kaoru, don't cry, please don't. I have to get you some where safe, away from this..." As he turned to watch the room collapsing. Kenshin jumped onto the cushiony sill.
"Kaoru, listen to me, we're going to have to jump." Both he and Kaoru looked down at the shimmering lake below. Kaoru gasped but then turned her attention back to Kenshin. His eyes were so deep, and there was something in them that she could not make out, but It looked so familiar.
"I Promise, nothing will happen to you." Kenshin said as he brought Kaoru towards his chest. "Hold me tight Kaoru." Kenshn said. She did as she was told an K enshin wrapped his arms around her.He held one arm behind her back and the other was holding her head to his chest.
"You ready kaoru?" Kenshin asked so lovingly.
Kaoru replied by holding onto Kenshin tighter. Kenshin jumped off the sill. They were falling. He kept their bodies straight so not to break anyhting on impact.
"Kami, keep Kaoru safe. Do what you wish to me, but please, not her." Kenshin prayed as the water came closer.
"Take me if you must, but let Kenshin live, he has got so much to give, and he should not have to lose his life becasue of me, please Kami." Kaoru prayed as well. Life was flashing before their eyes. The hauntings of the past, and the hopes for the future. Imges of memories spent together rushed in their minds like a movie. They hit the water and an enormous splash arose.
They held onto the eachother in the water, like if they let go, they would drift apart forever. Air didn't matter anymore, only eachother. They slowly floated to the surface. Their heads surfaced and they were able to breathe once again.
Kaoru lifted her head from Kenshin's chest to come face to face with Kenshin. The urge to kiss him was unbelieveable. Her heart was pounding and her emotions were running wild. All her feeling just wanted to run free, to give themselves to Kenshin, to be his.
If he could just kiss her, tell her how much she means to him, tell her his life can never be whole without her, that she makes him who he is. If that little kiss could express all that, than why isn't he kissing her?
Kenshin moved a little closer, Koaru doing the same. They were so close, so close when....
"Ready Battosai?" Musashi asked from land.(A/N: @%#$%@&$# Musashi!) He was angry to see Kaoru with another man, epsecially the one he wants to kill.
"Let's settle this now, the winner gets the girl." Musashi said from land
"That's a battle I'll be willing to die for!" Kenshin said as he swam Kaoru to shore. He lifted Kaoru up and the both stood there for a minute. How can something so good, go so wrong so fast?
"Get up battosai, and prepare yourself for death. Kaoru you will be mine yet!' He said as he gazed at Kaoru. She gave him a death glare and turned her attention back to Kenshin.
"Kenshin....please be carefull! You mean so much to me....and if I were to lose you...I..I.." she couldn't finish her sentence. It hurt to much to even thnk that Kenshin would die. It tore at her heart. Kenshin wiped her tears away with his own hand. Hi leaned his forehead to hers and stared into her eyes.
"Kaoru-dono, I will be fine, as long as you are. I want you to run to the docks. Sano and the others will be waiting with a boat. Get on it. If I don't get back soon, I want you to leave with out me, understand?"
"But Kenshin?"
"Please Kaoru-dono, do this for me." She reluctantly shook her head up an down. He hugged her, hoping it wouldn't be the last time he did. He sadley pulled her away from himself. She wouldn't cry, it would only make it worse. She had to be strong, for him.
She began to walk away, there hands slipping apart from eachothers.
"Good Bye Kenshin." Kaoru whispered.
"Good Bye Kaoru." Kenshin whispered back. Those words hurt him, they seemed so final.
"KENSHIN LOOK OUT!" Koaru screamed. Kenshin turned around in time to unsheathe his sword and block Musashi's attack.
"Get out of here Kaoru, NOW!" Kenshin screamed as he dodged another attack by Musahi.
"Kenshin..."
"NOW!" Kenshin screamed. As long as Kaoru was there, she was in danger, and that was a risk he was not willing to take. Kaoru ran as fast as she could, she had to get out of there. The tears streamed down her eyes. She ran faster than before, she wouldn't stop, she had to do it for Kenshin.
"Battosai, consider this your last battle, and be honored that you get to be defeated by such a great swordsman as myself." Musashi boasted. (A/N: he is so concieted!)
Kenshin stood up tall and stared down Musashi. Heck, he wasn't going to take that! He was going to fight back and make sure he wins! Musashi all of a sudden ran away. "Follow me battosai! That is, if you can keep up!" Musashi said as he ran. kenshin was hot on his trail. He noticed Musashi was bringing him into town. But there would be people there! What the heck was he thinking?!
Musahi finally stopped, the towns people looking at the spectacle. "Musashi are you crazy?! There are innocent people here!" Kenshin yelled, scaring the on-lookers.
"Well I heard about your oath not to kill, I thought this would put me to the advantage." Musashi laughed. "So what if these people die?! They mean nothing to me! Their lives are meaningless, just like yours!" Musashi laughed menicingly.
By now Kenshin's anger was through the roof. "ENOUGH!" WE WILL END THIS NOW! Kenshin yelled. His sword ready. Kenshin lunged forwards, Musashi trying to dodge, Kenshin managed to wack Musashi's left arm, making it useless.
Musashi jumped on the roof top of one of the stores, Kenshin following.Musashi ran forward, trying to slice Kenshin. Kenshin manuevered to the left and right, up and down and managed to avoid all of Musashi's attacks while jumping from roof to roof. (A?N: Kenshin's multi-talented!)
"You know what battosai, after I'm done killing you, I'll take the lives of the towns people, then your firends, and then finally, I'll kill Kaoru slowly and painfully. If she didn't want to marry me, then she obviously is not worthy of such a man like myself." Musashi said.
"DIE MUSASHI!" Kenshin yelled, he flipped his blade over and shot forward to an unguarded Musashi. He was prepared to break his oath, to ruin what he has worked so hard to recover, his dignity, his faith, everything would be gone if he killed Musashi. That didn't matter, Musashi was going to kill the people he loved most, especially his Kaoru!
Kenshin was about to swing down when he heard a familiar voice. It was Kaoru. "Kenshin don't kill, don't go back to the man you were ten years ago, your better than that, I know that, and I want you to know that! You mean so much to me, I don't want you to hurt anymore."
He didn't know where the voice came from, or why it said what it said, and why it was Kaoru. But Kenshin stopped his sword right above Musahi's head.
"Why didn't you kill me battosai? You had your chance, now finish it, be a man, kill again!" Musahsi screamed. Kenshin resheathed his sword and jumped off the roof.
"No Musashi, becasue someone I care about told me I'm better than that, and I believe her...." Kenshin said as he turned to walk to the docks.
Musashi lunged towards Kenshin." We are going to finish this here and now!" Musahi yelled. Kenshin turned around, and using teh dull side of his sword, he walked Musashi on his neck, knocking him out. Before he hit the ground Musashi was able to muster this, "Battosai, it's not over, I'll be back." Then he passed out.
"Good bye Musashi..." Kenshin said as he turned to leave.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Back on the escape boat.......
"How's Jou-chan doing?" Sano asked Megumi.
"She won't eat anything or get some sleep. She refuses to move from that spot until Kenshin comes back." Megumi sighed.
"He had better come back, or I'll kill him myself!" Sano yelled angrily.
"All we can do is hope for the best Sano." Megumi said.
"Kenshin!" Kaoru screamed. Sano and Megumi swung their heads over the boats rail to see Kenshin heading towards them. Kaoru sprinted inbetween them almost knocking them over.
Kenshin ran to her, and Kaoru ran towards him. In no less then a second they were in eachothers arms. "Kenshin don't you ever do that to me again!" Kaoru cried through happy tears.
"Don't worry Kaoru-dono, I won't leave you again. I promise." Kenshin said. Then his body became limp on Kaoru's shoulder. "Kenshin?" she said as she looked at his face. He was sleeping, with a smile on his face.
