Chapter 5: Our Last Goodbyes
"KENSHIN!!!" Kaoru yelled as she ran up the cliff to Kenshin's side. He was unconscious with blood running everywhere.
*I need to stop the bleeding or else he might bleed to death.* Kaoru tore a piece of cloth off the bottom of her kimono. She covered his wound and applied pressure but he still kept bleeding.
Kenji woke up a little dazed. "Oh man, that hurt. Wait till I get my hands on Shishio. Where is Shi..." He stopped as he saw his father lying on the ground covered in blood. His mind was a blur as he thought about Shishio and what he had done.
*Kenshin, please hold on. I don't know what I would do without you. Please be alright. I want things to be the way they always were. You will be alright I just know it. You can't leave you just can't. I can't lose you.* Kaoru thought with her eyes flooding with tears.
Kenshin started to regain consciousness. His vision was blurry but he could feel the pain from his wound.
"Kenshin... Kenshin... Kenshin...."
He could hear Kaoru's voice echoing inside his head. "Kao...." Kenshin said as he struggled in pain.
"Don't talk, it will only make you hurt worse. Just relax," Kaoru said. *Kenshin is breathing harder. *Kaoru thought.
Kenji walked up and Kaoru told him to get the medicine out of her pocket.It was the medicine that Megumi had given her to give to Kenshin for his fight with ShiShio.
Kaoru gave some to Kenshin and thought *This better work. I hope it does.* Kenji couldn't believe what he saw. *So much blood.*Kenji thought as he looked at his father. He had never seen blood before, but now the picture will remain in his mind forever.
Yahiko looked on in curiosity. *What is going on? Is Kenshin alright? Is Shishio dead?* He had no idea what was going on. Sano, on the other hand, knew what was happening.
*This isn't good. I don't know if Kenshin will make it through this one or not. He has to. There is no telling how much devastation it will cause Kaoru, Kenji, and a lot of other people. Kenji seems shocked. He is frozen by the sight of blood.*
"Kao...ru..," Kenshin said in agony. It was hard for him to breath much less speak.
"Kenshin, I told you not to speak. It will only make things worse," Kaoru said.
"I don't think I will make it through this one so it doesn't matter," Kenshin said.
"You are going to be fine. Stop talking like that," Kaoru said with a desperate voice.
And with Kenshin's last breath he whispered, "I love you and goodbye."
Kaoru fell to her knees crying and screamed, "KENSHIN!!!!"
Yahiko and Sano ran up the cliff and saw what they could not believe. Kenshin was laying on the ground lifeless. Yahiko cried as well. Sano held it in but could feel tears uprising. He still held it off.
Kenji was listening and by his father's words he froze. His eyes started to swell up with tears. *ShiShio did this. But how? SHISHIO!!!!* He ran into the forest with tears flooding his eyes.Yahiko saw him run off and chased after him.
Yahiko finally caught up with Kenji. "Don't worry Kenji. I'm sure your father will be alright. He's been in worst battles than this. We're going to get him to a doctor and then you'll see that he will be fine."
Kenji glared into Yahiko's eyes. Yahiko was shocked to find traces of amber flickering into Kenji's eyes. "Did you see all that blood up there! My father is dead! Someone is going to pay for that!"
Yahiko stared at him. "Kenji, what are you going to do?" Kenji didn't answer. He pushed past Yahiko. Yahiko grabbed hold of Kenji's gi. "Wait, come back...."
Kenji punched Yahiko so hard that he fell and hit his head on a rock. After seeing that Yahiko was knocked out, he ran off into the woods to seek vengence.
