Kaoru kept her eyes clenched tight, but not as tight as the grip she had on her son. She refused to look at her attacker. Her heart pounded and a cold sweat began to run down her face. But the attack never came. Her eyes shot open, in fear that she might already be dead. Everything looked the same ,and she could feel her son in her arms.
"Kaoru get out of here! Hurry!" Kenshin yelled. Kaoru sprung her head around and looked up to find Kenshin, sword in hand and anger in his eyes. He was blocking Ishmasu's attack. Ishmasu was terrified. Not only had Kenshin's eyes changed color, but his glare was enough to scare her half to death.
""Daddy!" Kenji yelled from Kaoru's arms. Kenshin pushed Ishmasu back causing her to fall, her dagger falling to the floor.
"It was all a set up to hurt my family! For that, I can never forgive you!" Kenshin said, resheathing his sword.
"Aren't you going to kill me?!" Ishmasu yelled back from her spot on the ground.
"No, I think I'll let Saitou take care of you. Death would be to easy." Kenshin said as he turned and bent down to Kaoru and Kenji. Ishmasu couldn't believe it! Was this a joke?! Just like that he was gonna let her go and not kill her?! He didn't take her seriously and now she was furious.
"I'll teach you to turn your back on me." Ishmasu whispered. She grabbed a dagger she had hidden in her kimono and ran towards Kenshin. Out of the corner of Kaoru's eye, she could see Ishamsu closing in on them, a dagger in hand ready to strike.
"Kenshin, behind you!" Kaoru screamed. As Ishamsu swung down hard. Kenshin had no time to unsheathe his sword, he had no time to run and get his family to saftey, he had no time at all. But he did have one opption. To stand and take the blow for his family.
Kaoru watched as the dagger penatrated Kenshin's flesh. Blood squirted upon her face and she covered her son's eyes, for he shouldn't have to see that.
"You under estimated me Kenshin, and for that, you must pay!" Ishmasu said triumphantly. Kenshin was breathing heavily, but he looked up to Ishmasu, a smile upon his face.
"You think you've won, but you have proven nothing, not to mention your aim is quite bad, that it is." Kenshin said as he showed her the dagger sticking out if left arm. Ishmasu had been aiming for his heart, but apparently she missed.
"WHAT!? But it was a perfect shot! How could I have missed!?" Ishmasu yelled to herself as Kenshin painfully pulled out the dagger from his arm. At that moment Sano and Yahiko ran in, lured by the sounds of fighting and pain.
"Ok, what did we miss?" Sano said dumbfounded at the confusing scene that lay before him.
"Run to Uncle Sano, Kenji." Kaoru whispered to him frantically.
"But mommy, what about you and daddy?"
"Just go Kenji, we'll be fine." Kaoru said as she kissed her son on the forehead and watched him reluctantly walk to Sano.
"Uncle Sano, is that mean ugly lady gonna hurt mommy and daddy?" Kenji asked as he cuddled into Sano's arms for reasurance. Sano didn't answer. He just looked down into Kenji's big hopeful eyes and wished he didn't have to answer such a question, because he didn't know the answer himself.
Kaoru ripped a piece of her kimono, big enough to bandage up Kenshin's wound. She began to wrap Kenshin's arm when Kenshin yelled "Look out Kaoru!"
Kaoru dropped the bandage and turned around in time to see Ishmasu's fist heading straight towards her. She lifted her hand up so that she caught Ishmasu's fist in her hand. Ishmasu flipped back, Kaoru doing the same thing. Kenshin quickly began to wrap his wound himself, the blood leaking out like a waterfall.
"So I see you do have some fight left in you eh? Bring it on!" Ishmasu yelled as she ran forward her fist in the air. Kaoru ducked under her arm and came up on the other side of her. Ishamsu turned to only meet up with Kaoru's fist. Blood poured from her open lip as she fell to the floor, tumbling before coming to a comlete stop.
"YEAH JOU-CHAN! You know I taught her that move!" Sano cheered, little Kenji in his arms cheering as well. Ishmasu slowly got to her feet again wipeing the blood from her lip.
"Its only just begun." Ishmasu said as she ran forwards catching kaoru off gaurd and landing a punch directly in her gut. Blood spewed from Kaoru's mouth as she bent over in pain.
"Kaoru!" Kenshin yelled as he tried to tie the knot one-handedly on his bandage. Ishmasu walked over to Kaoru. She pulled on Kaoru's hair so she could face her.
"Poor little Kaoru, your little hubby isn't here to save you now, what are you going to do now?" Ishmasu laughed cynically.
"Let me show what I'm going to do." AKoru said as she punched Ishmasu in her gut. Kaoru grabbed her arm and held them at an angle behind her back, causing Ishamsu to scream out in pain. Kaoru's grip was extremely tight, Ishmasu thought her arm would rip from its socket.
As a last ditch effort, Ishmasu swung her head back, slamming her head against kaoru's face. KAoru's nose began to flow with blood as Ishmasu reached for another hidden dagger in her kimono.
"How many dagger does that mad woman have hidden?! GEEZ!'" Sano yelled in disbelief. Ishamsu held her dagger up ready to impale Kaoru's chest. Kenshin's eyes shot wide as he bagn to run towards her. Flashbacks of Tomoe being impaled by his own sword came flashing to him. He saw Kaoru sharing the same fate.
"I won't let it happen again! I won't let someone I love be murdered! Not when I can do something about it!" Kenshin thought to himself as he disappeared into thin air. He appeared infront of Ishamsu, blocking the attack once again. The last thing Ishamsu saw was the look of anger in Kenshin's eyes as everything faded to black.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
AKoru lay sleeping on her warm futon, bandaged up and sleeping in peace. She woke up to new rays of the sun peaking through her window. Her eyes fluttered open, adjusting to the light. She sat up in her futon adn looked around. Where was everybody?
"Tanuki, glad to see your awake!" Megumi said as she entered Kaoru's room.
"What happened?" Kaoru asked, holding her head due to the aching pain.
"You mean you don't remember?" Megumi asked as she grabbed Kaoru a new kimono. Kaoru just just looked up at the doctor in confusion.
"Well, I didn't know anything happened until Kenshin ran to the clinic with you in his arms. You were a bloody mess! Apparently you had passed out from that blow to your head when you hit the ground. Poor Ken-san waited a round all night waiting for you to be treated. He wouldn't even let me look at his wound until he was sure you would be okay. He really loves you tanuki you kow that?" Megumi said as she handed Kaoru her kimono.
"Kenshin....and what about my son Kenji! Where is he!?" Kaoru asked in a hurry.
"Don't worry, Sano and Yahiko took him to the akebeko for breakfast.
"And where is Kenshin?! Why isn't he in here with me?" Kaoru asked.
"I sent him outside becasue he kept checking you to see if you were breathing! Poor Ken-san was a wreck!" I had so slip some sleeping pills into his tea to make him fall alseep!" Megumi said, remembering the trouble she had to go through to make Kenshin leave Kaoru alone.
Kaoru didn't even bother to change into her Kimono. She ran to the door and slid it open. Sure enough, she found Kenshin sleeping on the other side against a post. She sat herself down next to his body. She saw his empty tea cup sitting right next to him.
She leaned up against Kenshin's chest. She could hear his heart beat steadily. She closed her eyes and listened to the beat of his heart and the rhythm of his breathing. She slipped her hand into his, caressing it with her free thumb. Kenshin uknowingly leaned his head against her soft hair.
"Kaoru..." he whispered in his sleep. A smile krept upon his face. Kaoru blushed. A soft wind began to blow and Kaoru's hair flew up into Kenshin's face. Kenshin's eyes fluttered open. He was dreaming of Kaoru. It was so real. The way she looked, felt, smelt. He didn't want to wake up.
"Good morning anata" Kaoru said, he eyes closed stillleaning against him.
"Kaoru!" he said as he hugged her tightly like she was going to disappear if he let her go.
Eventually the urge to kiss her was unbearable. Her lips were beckoning him to them. She titlted her head up as if reading his mind. The two sat on the porth together in their loving embrace as Sano, Yahiko and little Kenji were walking through the dojo gates.
