t.v. Something comes on, Rurouni Kenshin I see, and guess what people, I
don't own it, oh me.

Night fell on the dojo. Stars twinkled merrily above, not concerning
themselves with the troubles below them. Yashi slid the door open, stepping
silently out into the cool outside. The wind greeted her, blowing through
her hair, feeling more like an old friend then anything else. Even when all
humans had failed her, Yashi could count on it to soothe her during her
hardest moments. Like now when Kenshin Himura's presence made death seem
looming closer and closer, tantalizing her, calling to her.
"Could sleep?" Yashi turned to face Kenshin. He looked handsome with just the moonlight spilling over him, a mysterious side intriguing Yashi's eyes.
"No," She said, looking back up at the sky. Kenshin walked over to her. They stood there, thinking their own thoughts, neither worried that the other would be offended by the silence.
The wind blew again as if to say it didn't approve of Kenshin's presence. Yashi shivered, slightly chilled by the wind's ferocity.
"You should really be inside, that you should," Kenshin said, lacking any force or concern in his words.
"Why didn't you tell them?" Yashi asked, her voice a mixture of bitterness and sadness.
"They didn't need to know," Kenshin said quietly.
"They didn't need to know or you were afraid that if you told them what part I played in the revolution they would also find out that you were supposed to kill me?"
"Honestly I don't know," Kenshin replied. A cloud passed over the moon and for a moment they were in darkness. Then the cloud moved and once again they were bathed in moonlight.
"Why didn't you kill me?" Yashi asked, more to herself then to Kenshin, her eyes darkening. "Why didn't I die that night?" When she turned to look at Kenshin he was already gone.
"Why?" She whispered one last time. *
"That's it!" Kaoru cried as she suddenly sat up in her room. In the room down the hall, Sano did the same. * Ooh, what did Sano and Kaoru finally remember? And why didn't Kenshin kill Yashi? Find out.
Thank you for any reviews I get and I'll try and post up the next chapter in a day or two.
