Author's Notes: READ READ IMPORTANT!!!! Okay, I decided to continue with The End of the Beginning because I guess I didn't explain a lot of it too well. This might help fill in some holes for you.

The End of the Beginning
Author: Emilee1
Chapter 11: Did not know he was Dead

Kenshin got up and dressed and walked into the kitchen. He glanced up and saw Kaoru.

"Kaoru-dono, what are you doing up?"Kenshin asked.

"I just decided to make breakfast and save you the hassle of doing it yourself. I am sure you must be tired. You just came back yesterday."Kaoru said chuckling.

What is she talking about? Oh well, I will just follow along. Kenshin turned to her. "Actually I feel like myself. Not tired or anything."

"Well, go wake up Yahiko and tell him it is time for breakfast. I am sure Sano will be stopping by also."

"All right Kaoru-dono."

Kenshin stroded towards Yahiko's room. He slightly opened the shoji and stepped inside. "Yahiko, wake up. Kaoru-dono has made breakfast."

Yahiko immidiately sprang up from his futon. "WHAT!!! You mean to tell me that busu made breakfast!!!"

"Hai, she has."Kenshin replied slightly backing up. I guess Yahiko is quite disappointed that Kaoru-dono has cooked. I am also but at least I didn't have to.

"Oro?" Kenshin looked at Yahiko who had a smile as wide as the golden- gate bridge on his face.

"Yipee!!!"Yahiko yelled running out into the hallway then to the kitchen. (If you forgot then recall to chapter 9. It says something about Kaoru's cooking that you don't want to miss.)

Kenshin sat in his position until he fell over.

Yahiko ran over to Kaoru and shouted, "What are you making?"

"It is a surprise. It is one of my own recipies."Kaoru replied shoving him out of the way. "Why don't you go see if Sano is on his way. He is probably coming in right now."

At that exact time Sano walked in. "Oi minna!"

"Didn't I tell you?"Kaoru asked smirking.

"Is Jou-chan cooking this morning."Sano asked Kenshin.

"Apparently yes. She said that I must be tired and didn't want to cook, but I feel normal. It is not like I came back from the dead."Kenshin replied.

It fell dead silent. "Why is it so quiet?"Kenshin asked while everyone stared at him.

Kaoru walked over to him and placed her hand on his shoulder. "Actually, you did."

Kenshin's eyes widened. "W-what?"

"You did come back from the dead. Tell me what do you remember?"Kaoru asked.

"I can remember marrying you and I also fought ShiShio. There was one awful place I was at also. It was pitch black and there was no one in sight. A star came towards me as it fell from above. It landed in front of me and it gleamed with light. Then it burst and I was conveiled with its white color. And here I am."

He did not know he was dead? But... this star he talks about, could it be the shooting star I made a wish on?
