Chapter 5: Yakusoku! (Promise!)
DISCLAIMER: Nope! I don't own RK! I wish I owned it! Tee-hee!
Megumi was looking at something below the microscope. "Hmm..."
"Megumi!"
Megumi lifted her head up and looked towards the door of the lab. "Oh Kaoru. Why are you here?"
Kaoru showed Megumi the pictures of her own and Kenshin. "Explain me this."
"Why, I don't have any idea at all. Well, excuse me but I have researching to do." Megumi said then continued to look at the microscope.
"I thought you were my friend."
"What are you talking about?"
"I didn't know you would blackmail me. I trusted you!" Kaoru exclaimed then closed the lab door quickly.
Megumi did not look back. "Go on. But I will not confess to you." She whispered.
Meanwhile...
"Stop!" Kenshin exclaimed.
"Kenshin!"
"Sano?! Why are you here?" Kenshin exclaimed.
"To help you with the beating of this guy." Sanosuke said, pointing Udo Jin'eh at his back. He gritted his teeth and aimed to punch him, but he disappeared. "Huh?!"
"Heh. You can't beat me only with that." Jin'eh said. His eyes widened and Sanosuke stared at them.
Sanosuke froze. "Wha...What's happening? I can't move my body!!" he exclaimed.
"Sano!" Kenshin looked at Jin'eh. "Don't involve other people here!!" he exclaimed.
"Honto?!" Jin'eh stared at Kenshin.
Kenshin used his chi to get out of the frost. "You can't use that to me."
"Well, I'll come back for you!" Jin'eh exclaimed, and then disappeared.
Some police arrived. "It's Battousai! Catch him!" Sanosuke got out of the frost. He lifted Kenshin's collar. "Can't you see that he's not Battousai anymore?" he demanded.
"Sano."
"Hey, just protecting you." Sanosuke gave a pat on Kenshin's back when suddenly his left arm ached. "Ouch!"
Kenshin touched the arm of Sanosuke. "Sano, you broke your arm!"
"Maybe because I wanted to get out of that frost." Sanosuke said.
The police guided Sanosuke to the ambulance.
"Himura."
"Yamagata-san."
"Thanks for your help in building a new government." Yamagata Aritomo said.
"It's nothing, really." Kenshin said.
"We came here to capture Udo Jin'eh. He wants the old government to come back because the officials give him lots of money back then. He wants to kill all of us. I want you to help us in capturing him." Yamagata said.
Kenshin thought about. "But I have a promise to not kill anymore."
"You don't need to kill him."
"It would be hard. I can't let Battousai show up anymore. I'm a new person, Yamagata-san. I don't want to be the cold-hearted murderer I used to be." Kenshin whispered. "Besides, Kaoru-dono said that I must always be cheerful." Kenshin thought.
"It's your own decision. Well, we better get to the conference. Have a nice day, Himura." Yamagata said.
Kenshin bowed politely. "Arigatoo, Yamagata-san." He watched as the limousine of Yamagata drove away. He turned to Sanosuke. "Is your arm alright?"
"Yup. I did not want to get on that stinky ambulance, so I let the people to just wrap a bandage around my arm." Sanosuke said.
Kenshin sat beside Sanosuke. "Sano, can you do me a favor?"
"What is it?" Sanosuke asked.
"I want you to say to Kaoru-dono to not let her see me again."
"What? But jouchan really likes you!"
Kenshin was surprised. He didn't know that Kaoru liked him.
"She'll be sad if you won't let her see you anymore! You've been together just in a week!" Sanosuke exclaimed.
"But I need to concentrate on how to control my self in being Battousai. I need a lot of concentration. If she shows up, my hard work will disappear. Don't let her show up to me. If I stay as a Rurouni, Jin'eh will kill me and the problem will be worst." Kenshin explained.
"I understand you, Kenshin. I'll go to her now." Sanosuke said.
"Arigatoo, Sano." Kenshin said.
Sanosuke smiled. "Sure." He said then walked away.
Later that night...
"Kenshin didn't show up the whole class period. I wonder where he is...? Even Sanosuke... What happened to them...? Did they...?" Kaoru kept thinking about disgusting things then shook her head. "No! No! Kenshin will never to THAT!" Kaoru exclaimed.
It was beginning to rain.
Kaoru opened the window and stared at the white rain. "Kenshin will come back tomorrow. He will never leave me. Never." She whispered.
Next day comes. It was already dismissal time...
Kaoru ran up to the hallway. "Kenshin! Kenshin!!" She was frantic. She hasn't seen him the whole time. Suddenly, she bumped to a person. "Ouch! Gomen!" She looked up to the person she bumped to and saw it was Sanosuke. "Sanosuke! Where's...!"
Sanosuke grabbed her wrist. "Follow me."
Later, they sat on a bench near the school garden.
"Kenshin hasn't come back yet, right?" Sanosuke asked.
"Eh?"
"Anyway, I'm not going to try to get involved with his annoying problems."
Kaoru looked at Sanosuke's bandaged arm. "Doushite, Sanosuke?"
"That baka hasn't acted this way since the Ishin Shishi." Sanosuke stared at Kaoru. "Kenshin is a long time target. So running out to see him right now...is not going to help bring him back."
Kaoru stared at the ground and has a serious look. She tried to run, but strong hands stopped her.
"Look at yourself! Don't draw anymore attention to him than there already is." Sanosuke's grip on hers tightened. "Be mature for a change!" he exclaimed.
Kaoru turned back then glared at him. She got out of Sanosuke's tight grip and ran away.
"Stubborn fool!" Sanosuke exclaimed.
Kaoru covered her ears. She ran and ran, but didn't see Kenshin. She finally saw Kenshin sitting down on a tree trunk that broke and was staring at the river. She was so happy that she nearly cried. "Kenshin!"
Kenshin's eyes widened. He turned back, only to see a bokken hitting his head. "Ouch! Ouch!" he exclaimed.
"Kenshin! What are you doing?!" Kaoru exclaimed.
"Kaoru-dono. Hasn't Sanosuke told you yet?" Kenshin asked.
"I understand him and you too... Okay, I'll stay away from you, but promise me to come back. Stay alive..." Kaoru whispered.
"Kaoru-dono... I'm not sure if I..."
Kaoru glared at Kenshin. She, once again, let down her hair and got the ribbon. She gave it to Kenshin. "Get me back my ribbon after you fight the guy. Yakusoku dayo?" Kaoru asked.
Kenshin smiled. He took the ribbon. "Yakusoku."
Kaoru smiled. "Well then... I better go back now. Genki, Kenshin..." Before walking back, someone grabbed her.
Kenshin suddenly stood up. His eyes fired up, turning to amber eyes. "Kaoru- dono!!!"
"Heh! Come to the forest tonight! But before you do, make sure you already turned to Battousai!!" Jin'eh exclaimed and ran quickly.
"Kenshin!! Help me!!! Kenshin!!!" Kaoru shouted, trying to get out of Jin'eh's grasp.
Kenshin dropped the ribbon. "UDO JIN'EH!!!!!!!!!"

Author's note: Konnichiwa! I made this chappie in the morning, without even having breakfast yet! Well, I went to the fanfiction.net and saw 2 reviews! Those made me want to work on this chapter! Thanks! This chapter is like in the anime (also the manga, of course) Forgive me for repeating this scene! I really suck on some chapters!! WAAH!! Tee-hee! But the flow of the story will change. If you think that Jin'eh will just stare at Kaoru and she will freeze, you're thinking wrong. Something different will happen. Watch out for chapter 6 please!! *but the difference is really sad...*
