for this story!
Soujiro: Remember 5 reviews will equal chapter 13!
" Oh well, I'll just kill you while he watches," Tenka said laughing. " Don't hurt Kenshin," Kaoru wanted that to come out loud and strong but it
came out weak and frightened. " Forget that, don't hurt Kaoru!" Kenshin yelled getting in beside her. Tenka laughed," do you think I'll stop, just to make you happy? Can you imagine how long I've waited for this? It's time to get revenge for my brother Shishio!" Tenka charged at Kaoru. " I'll kill
someone you care about Battousai, then I'll kill you!" Tenka yelled.
Kenshin pushed Kaoru out of the way and Tenka's attack slit his right side. " Kenshin!" Kaoru screamed. Kenshin staggered backward, he had lost a lot of blood. Kenshin went down on one knee and Kaoru got up and rushed to his
side. " Please; don't cry, I promise that I'll protect you, that I do,"
Kenshin whispered gripping her hand gently.
" That's not why I'm crying," she whispered softly, her dark hair curtaining her face," whose going to protect you?" " As long as your safe,
I don't care what happens to me," Kenshin whispered. " You always say that!" Kaoru yelled. Tears were streaming down her face," please, please
put yourself first for once, think of how I'd feel if you died!" " But you'll still be alive," Kenshin insisted, caressing her face with his free
hand.
" You jerk!" she finally broke down," if you die, I'll hate you!" Real hatred burned in her eyes. Kenshin then fell face first into the wet dirt.
Kaoru bent down next to him and turned his body to face the rain. She
untied her hair ribbon and folded it to make a pillow.
She lifted Kenshin's head and put the ribbon under his head, then she laid his head down. " How could you do this to me!" Kaoru yelled at Tenka," how could you make me almost fall in love with you!" It started to rain even
harder. Aoshi rushed to Misao's side. Tye had stabbed Misao in her left
shoulder; the cut was bleeding very badly.
Now she was lying on the ground motionless, except for the rising and falling of her chest when she took a breath. " Misao, Misao come on; speak to me!" Aoshi yelled franticly. " I've never seen Aoshi this upset before; not even when Kanryu killed the Oniwaban group," Yahiko said to himself. "
He's upset," Saitou said mentally.
" He must really love her," Sano whispered. Tye started to laugh. Aoshi
stared at Misao's body; blood was everywhere. Then a thought about the
previous night came to his mind.
Flash Back
" Hey, its gotten darker," she said looking towards Aoshi. Aoshi smiled," yeah it has." Misao looked up towards the sky and gasped. " What's wrong Misao?" Aoshi asked startled. She looked at him and pointed
up.
" The sky, it's so beautiful," she said smiling. " I've missed that smile," Aoshi told himself. He looked up towards the stars and immediately saw why she had gasped. The sky was so clear you could only see stars and moon. "
Isn't it beautiful?" she asked.
Aoshi nodded. " It's not as beautiful as you though," he thought to
himself. Little did he know he had said that out loud. Misao looked at
him; she was blushing furiously. " What did you say?" she asked.
Aoshi finally realized what he said and started to blush. " Is he
blushing?" Misao asked herself. She smiled at him. " Thank you for the
compliment," she said calmly. " No, problem," he managed to say.
He was embarrassed. She walked over to him and hugged him. She was surprised when he hugged her back. " Thank you, for saving me today Lord
Aoshi," she said. " Anytime," he said smiling.
Then something he would never expect happened. " Thank you," she whispered.
" For what?" Aoshi asked. " For everything; taking me in when I was a child, teaching me how to fight, coming back to me when you were in pain, and for being my friend," she said happily. Aoshi felt her hot tears on his
shirt.
A real smile broke on to his face," Misao, I should be tanking you." Misao looked at him, a puzzled look on her face. " Thank you for allowing me to be your friend, for letting me teach you how to fight, for teaching me to be happy and, for allowing me to come back to you," he finished smiling. He
hugged her even tighter. She nestled her head into his chest.
" I love you so much Misao, I don't know what I would do if I lost you," he said resting his chin on her head. " I love you too Aoshi," she said. Then they both realized what they and the other had said. They broke the hug and stared into each other's eyes for what seemed hours when it was only a few
seconds. Aoshi slowly lifted his hand to touch her cheek.
" Say something you idiot!" his mind yelled. " I ment what I said Misao," was all he could say. " Moron! Say or do something, he loves you!" her mind
screamed. She was too stunned to speak though. " I knew that she didn't
have the same feelings for me as I have for her," Aoshi told himself.
He lowered his hand. He felt like a fool for saying what he had said; yet he felt a great weight lifted of his mind. He turned to leave. " Stop him!
You love him!" her mind yelled. Unconsciously she reached for his hand.
Aoshi felt a tug on his hand and turned around to see Misao. " I..I love you too," she said smiling. Aoshi smiled again. He embraced her. Neither of
them had felt this happy before.
Slowly Aoshi raised her chin and kissed her. She was stunned for a second, but she kissed him back. After about a minute they slowly broke the kiss. "
I love you Misao," Aoshi said smoothly. Misao smiled," I love you too."
They walked back together, hand in hand to the campsite. Both of their
dreams had been realized in on moment.
End of Flash Back
" We finally are happy and this happens," Aoshi said to himself. Then he
heard laughter. It was Tye; he was laughing at Misao's pain. " You monster!" Aoshi yelled," I'll make you pay." Aoshi looked to Tye then to
Misao.
Sano got the hint and ran over to Misao. " Don't worry Aoshi, she's a
fighter she wont die that easily," Sano said picking Misao up. " Do not interfere with this fight," Aoshi said coldly. Saitou nodded and grabbed
Yahiko's shirt collar. " Don't you dare die on her!" Sano yelled from a
distance.
