~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Way to go rooster head!" Yahiko cheered, standing on top of a table.
People threw money at Sano for his great performance. Sano happily took all the money and stuffed it in his shirt.
"You like me, you really like me!" Sano yelled, being a little dramatic. (A/N: We all love Sano anyway, right?)
Sano made his way off stage towards the Kenshin-gumi. "Sano, that was brilliant! You're always there fo me aren't ya!" Kaoru said with a bright smile.
"Of course! You didn't think I was gonna let some other guy run off with Kenshin's women!" Sano said as he watched Kenshin turn a lovley shade of red.
"I'm starved! Can we get something to eat?" Yahiko said as the Kenshin-gumi listened to the rumble coming from his stomache.
"That sounds good, I wouldn't mind a bite to eat." Megumi said as they began to walk to the food area.
"Oh boy! Chow time!" Sano licked his lips as he began to walk along with the group, but he then felt someone tug on his shirt. He turned around to see that it was kenshin who stopped him.
"C'mon Kenshin! I'm hungry!" Sano said, annoyed that kenshin was the only thing between him and food.
"I just wanted to say thank you Sano for what you did. You're the only one who knows how I truly feel about Kaoru-dono. Thank you." kenshin said whole heartedly.
"Eh, what are friends for! Anyway, about the money I spent, you know you owe me a sack of money!" Sano said in a serious tone.
"Oro?!"
"C'mon Kenshin, let's go before Yahiko eats all the food. HEY SAVE ME SOME SAKE!" Sano yelled as he ran towards the rest of the group. Kenshin stayed behind, not feeling too hungry.
He knew if he saw Kaoru again he would have to kiss her again and again. It felt so good, her lips against his own. It was beyond what he could of imagined. "Now all I have to do is tell her I love her, you were so close, Kenshin you baka!" Kenshin said to himself.
As Kenshin thought of ways to tell Kaoru how he felt, he didn't notice her walking up to him. She thought he looked so adorable when he was deep in thought.
"I wonder what he's thinking about." Kaoru thought to herself as she snuck up behind Kenshin. She tapped Kenshin's shoulder, causing him to jump into the air.
"kaoru-dono! Oh..uh..why aren't you eating. You know you shouldn't miss a meal, it's bad for your health!" Kenshin said frantically.
"Bad for your health? Kenshin you baka, you could of come up with somthing better than that!" Kenshin mentally kicked himself. Kaoru just giigled at hsi cute flustered face.
"I'm not very hungry, I was just going to go for a walk." she said rather nervously. "And I was wondering....."
"What Kaoru-dono?" Kenshin asked.
"Would you like to join me, that is if you want to.." Kaoru said in a fast tone. All Kenshin could think about was how perfect this was. Him, her, alone...! Yes, can't get any better than this, can it!
"I would like to accompany you on a walk, that I would." Kenshin said cooly, hoping his happiness was not showing to much. Kaoru cupped her hand into Kenshin's and lead him out of the crowd of people.
"Kaoru-dono, where are we going?" Kenshin asked as he noticed they were far from the festival.
"You'll see." Kaoru whispered. Kenshin trusted her, she knew what she was doing. They came to what looked like a stone wall, covered in vines and such. Kaoru placed her hand on the wall, as Kenshin ovserved her every move. Suddenly Kaoru tore down the vines revealing a little cave.
"Kaoru-dono, what is this place." Kenshin asked as Kaoru looked into the cave.
"Follow me." Kaoru said as she ran into the cave.
"Kaoru-dono?!" Kenshin said as he watched her disappear into the dark cave. He ran in after her. He had been running for a few seconds before he could see a light ahead of him.
A cool breeze met his face when he made it to the end of the cave. He peered up to find kaoru standing on the edge of a cliff, looking out to the sea. The moon was full in the sky and form was out lined by a shadow infront of the moon.
She turned around to look at Kenshin, who stood dumbfounded. she nodded her head, signaling Kenshin to come stand next to her. It was a beautiful view. The moon's light seemed to dance on the ocean, and everything was peaceful and quiet.
"This is where my father took me. He told me to always remember this place. This place is very special to me, and...I wanted to share this with you. I want this place to be special for us too." Kaoru said.
"Kaoru-dono?" Kenshin said as he slowly turned Kaoru's face with his hand until she was looking straight at him. His hands never left her face as he began to speak.
"Since the day I've met you, you've made me feel alive. You took me into your own home, a stranger with a mysterious past. I believe it was fate that brought us together. There has to be a reason we found eachother, and
I believe I know what the reason is now. I know I have felt this way for as long as I can remember. Kaoru..what I'm trying to say is...."
A loud terrifying shriek was heard from the festival, making Kenshin fall over anime style. "WHY NOW!" Kenshin yelled. (A/N: Poor Kenshin!)
"C'mon Kenshin! We have to go see what happened!" Kaoru said, worry clear in her voice. Kenshin nodded and they sprinted towards the festival. A large crowd was gathered around, the Kenshin-gumi was visible somewhere near the center.
"Exuse me, pardon me, let me through, GET OUT OF MY WAY!" Kaoru screamed, holding Kenshin's hand so they wouldn't be separated. In the middle of the crowd stood Mizumoto, his sword in hand.
"Ah, battosai we meet again!" Mizumoto yelled upon seeing Kenshin.
"Musashi?" Kenshin said, his eyes narrowing.
"You finally figured out who I am! It took you long enough. For battosai, your not to sharp!" Musashi said cynically.
"You make a really ugly blonde!" Sano screamed from the crowd.
"At least my hair doesn't stick up like yours rooster head!" Musashi screamed back.
"How does everyone know to call me that!? I don't get it!" Sano screamed in frustration. You have to admit, everyone does call him that.
"You've made a fool of me battosai, but you will pay for it all, starting now!" Musashi yelled.
"MUSASHI!" Kaoru screamed so loud and angrily, the crowd hovered down in fear, even Musashi.
"Now you've gone and done it!" Sano said casually.
"What have I done?" Musashi asked, terrified at the angry look on Kaoru's face.
"You've gone and made Kaoru mad...not a good idea.."Sano said.
"Say Yahiko, what happened to the last guy who messed with Kaoru?" Sano asked, winking at Yahiko to play along.
"Oh yah, you mean that guy! The doctors had a lot of trouble figuring out who he was, his body was so mangled and bloody, it was very gruesome." Yahiko said, enjoying the fact that he was playing with Musashi's head.
"I'm not letting one pathetic woman stand in theway of me and my revenge. She was never able to stop me before, was she? NO!"
"Before? what do you mean before?" Kaoru asked.
"You still don't know? HA!" Musashi laughed menicingly.
"What don't I know! ANSWER ME!" Kaoru screamed, she feared what he was about to say.
"It was me! I was the one who murdered your parents Kaoru! You don't remember do you? I was the one who killed them right infront of your eyes. Your were so young, so weak. I rememebr the terror on your face! Your parents deserved to die! Your father refused to give me the dojo and make me the apprentice to the Kamiya Kashin style of the wooden sword. Well if I couldn't master the art of protecting people, I figured I could master the art of killing people, starting with your parents! Now I'm prepared to take the life of this worthless battosai, infront of your eyes, just like your mother and father!" Musashi ended his story.
"It was you...How?...why did you?..how could you?..no.."Kaoru said as an endless stream of tears began to flow down her face.
"Cry little Kaoru, go on, just like back then, your mommy and daddy can't hear you where they are!" Musashi laughed.
"Stop it! STOP!" Kaoru screamed, her tears dripping to the floor endlessly. She felt a pair of arms hold her in her grasp, and she knew it was Kenshin, no one else could hold her with such love.
"Kaoru, I'm here and I won't leave you." he whispered into her ear.
"Kenshin.." Kaoru whispered in between her silent sobbs.
Kenshin slowly relased her. He would stop Musashi from hurting Kaoru, risking his life to do so. He nodded to Sano to come get Kaoru.
"Kenshin..please..please be careful, don't leave me." she whispered to him as Sano took her to the rest of the gang. Kenshin unsheathed his sword and took a fighting stance.
"Sano, get these people out of here." Kenshin said as his eyes turned completely amber.
"Clear out people! Nothing to see hear! Get going." Sano tried. The crowd refused to leave.
"GET THE HECK OUT OF HEAR NOW!!!!!!!!" Sano screamed causing everyone but the Kenshin-gumi to leave.
"Die battosai!" Musashi screamed.
"After you!"
