A/N-I can't believe how long it's been since I have had any free time to
update. School has been murder with all the homework and projects and here
at home isn't really any better..Anyway I hope some people are still
reading this.I know you guys asked for less time between updates and I'm
sorry I couldn't do it.Luckily this is the Christmas break now!! No
homework for a while!!! Unfortunately I still have so much to do. Anyway I
will try to get up at least one other chapter in during the break so
there's that to look forward to, sort of. ^___^x'
And also, try to ignore it if a lot of words are misspelled. I'm typing this out in the early hours of the morning and even tough I looked through it it's more then possible that I missed some. ^_^x Now on to the rest of the fic.
Disclaimer: I'm sure most of us here wish we owned Rurouni Kenshin and even though I'm one of the many people that do its all just wishing.

Kenshin pored Kaoru a cup of tea as she sat down at the dinner table. Kaoru looked nervous and uneasy and Kenshin wasn't really sure this was such a good idea. But it didn't really look like he had a choice wither to tell her or not this time. After giving her such a scare like that he really did feel as if he owed her the truth about this.
After stopping her from rushing outside with the sword he had sat her down so she could calm down a little before he told her what she needed to know.
Kenshin also sat down dressed in only his pants, as he really hadn't had time to get into anything else. (A/N-Thanks a lot to bonessasan for reminding me about this. I wouldn't have remembered if you hadn't said anything. ^_^x) He didn't know where to start with this. There was just so much to tell.
"Kaoru, after all this you've been though what are your feelings on dragons now?"
'Oh, yes,' He thought, 'That's a great way to start this off.'
Kaoru just stared at him and remained silent for a moment, thinking to herself. " I really don't know how I feel about them any more..I was so sure I hated them for such a long time since I just grew up that way, but after seeing one up close and everything I don't think I felt that way any more. I mean a dragon saved my life and of course I was very grateful but now that same dragon was trying to eat you or something!!! I just don't know how-"
Kenshin held a finger up to Kaoru's face to silence her. "Kaoru, would you be scared or no longer trust me if I wasn't exactly what you thought I was?"
Kaoru gave him a puzzled look. "What do you mean Kenshin? I know who you are. And of course I trust you. Why wouldn't I? You have helped me out so much."
"I don't want to frighten you any more Kaoru so you have to be sure that you wouldn't be scared."
"Kenshin what are you talking about? I'm sure I would still trust you. If you mean you're some kind of criminal I still wouldn't see any reason to be afraid. You have never done anything that could have been dangerous or harmful while I've been around."
"What I am could be a lot more frightening then a normal thief, that it could. And I want to be sure that you won't try to do anything once you hear. Kaoru, this may sound a little crazy to you at first but I'm not exactly human.."
Kaoru just stared blankly and Kenshin could tell she really didn't know where this was leading.
"I had hoped you wouldn't have to find out but it wouldn't seem fair if I didn't tell you..Please don't be scared Kaoru-dono, I promise that I won't hurt you so you have nothing to worry about. You know that dragon that you have seen a few times now?"
"Yes, why?"
"That dragon was me.."
Kaoru's eyes seemed to grow larger as she took this new information in. She sat as if frozen to where she was. Kenshin waited to see how she would react to this news, if she would belie him at all. He just hoped she didn't do anything drastic.
"No way." She whispered, almost to herself. "That can't be.You're a person just like me!! How could that dragon be you?"
"It is me Kaoru. Look." Kenshin turned the side of his head so she could clearly see all of his scar. "The dragon has this same scar doesn't he?"
Kaoru nodded her head but still didn't seem to believe him. "But I still don't see how.You're obviously a person right now! You look just the same a anyone else, how could you be a dragon?"
"What very few humans know about dragons is that we have our normal form but we also have a human like form. How else would we remain hidden form humans? Our dragon forms are too large to hide very well so we have to protect ourselves. We look similar to every day humans in this form but there is still a few ways to tell us apart."
Kenshin opened his mouth so that Kaoru could see sharp white fangs that looked just like the teeth of a dragon. He then walked over to a bowl of water in the corner of the room and soaked a towel in it. He then wiped his face with the side of the towel and turned to face Kaoru again. On his cheeks were dragon shaped markings that no humans would ever wear.
Kenshin watched as the truth of what he told he seemed to really start to sink into Kaoru. She looked up at him no longer disbelieving but curious. "How were you hiding the markings?"
He put the towel down and returned to his seat across form her glad that she hadn't tried to attack him or run away. "We have invented a special cream that once applied to the skin will hide markings such as this. The markings cover a lot of our bodies and it would be a give away if we just walked around with them showing in front of humans. But thanks to it we walk among humans whenever we want to and are never even noticed."
"You mean dragons are even walking around my village?" Kaoru stared and Kenshin was sure she was amazed at how she could have seen several dragons before and never even known it.
"They could," He said. "But it's not very likely. We try to avoid humans whenever we can and only interact with them if we have to, that we do. Otherwise we keep to our homes and villages in the forests."
Kaoru looked at him suddenly as if realizing something for the first time. "Back at my village, when I was at that council meeting, you where the that stepped in front of me and saved me!! And then you went to my father's grave!! I can't believe I just recognized your voice but it was you."
Kenshin nodded, confirming her guesses.
"And you also knew my father.."
"Yes, I did know Kairu."
"But how? My father was a Dragon Slayer. He would never be come acquainted with any dragon!"
Kenshin was quiet for a while as he tried to remember all the events exactly the way they had happened. "During the period of time known by humans as the Dagon War dragons and humans fought, each hoping to destroy the other race. Humans were sick of dragons for eating live stock and burning villages. Dragons were tired of humans constantly hunting us and killing our young. We hoped this war would exterminate the human race for good and we would be left in peace and I'm sure the human warriors felt the same about us.
"During the war there were two to fear above all others. For the dragons it was your father. He was an accomplished Dragon Slayer that had killed many of our race and was skilled at hunting and tracking us. I was also in the war at thins time and-"
"Wait a minute!" Kaoru interrupted. "You were in the war with my father? I thought you knew him but not from the war. You look about the same age as me and I was just a little kid when the war started!"
Kenshin nodded and explained. "I am still very young in dragon years and age but to a human I very old. I am really four hundred twenty-eight."
Kaoru just looked in amazement at him.
"See, that seems old to a human but to us it is still quite a young age. Our race can live up to millions of years so four hundred is quite small compared to that. We also physically age much slower then humans. Someone of my kind would have to be a couple thousand years old for any signs of aging to show. Otherwise we keep the appearance that an adolescent or young adult human would have. So I really am about the same age as you are. Just on a different scale of years.
"Now back to what I was saying earlier, my troop was given orders to get rid of Kairu before he became an even bigger threat to us.
"We sometimes fought two different ways in that war. Of course the main way was just fighting up face to face in our dragon forms but a few dragons worked as a sort of surprise attack group and in their human forms hide themselves in the groups of humans and would then kill them. However this method was considered low and extremely unfair to our opponents so it was made sure that this was very seldom used."
"You could have fought face to face in your human forms." Kaoru suggested.
"No, we wanted to keep that form a secret form humans since that was the only way we could walk freely in human populated areas. If they knew they would put up guards all around and have anyone walking by examined.
"The one to fear if you were a human fighting was me. The Hitokiri Battousai. That was why my troop was assigned to kill Kairu. They figured that if any one could do it it was the Hitokiri Battousai. The next day we found Kairu and his group and started to battle.
"Kairu and I moved our fight to another location a little ways farther from the rest. Kairu was easily the strongest human I had ever fought, he was able to hit me when so many others could not. He was the one that gave me this scar in the middle of our battle.
"But even though he was strong a dragon is still stronger. I had wounded him badly and it was to the point where I could easily finish him off. I raised my clawed hand to strike but found I couldn't bring my hand down. Of course I was very confused, I had already killed so many men, what was stopping me now?
"I still wasn't sure why but I carried the unconscious Kairu to a stream where I cleaned and healed his wounds. When he awoke naturally he was surprised to. He made a move for his sword but couldn't even grab it. His wounds where still fresh and would need time to heal. During that time he could do nothing to me.
"I stayed in my human form and gave him food and water, still not sure why I was doing it but did anyway. Over that short period of time we talked and grew to understand each other. I couldn't see humans as just dumb dragon killing creatures any more and he didn't see me as a heartless killing beast. It would seem that dragons and humans are a little more similar the most people want to believe.
"After he was healed he told me he couldn't slay another dragon, now that he had seen what they were really like. And the same was true for me. We had already become good friends by that time and he asked if he could come and see our home. Even tough we both could have gotten into a lot of trouble I agreed to take him.
"I thought that maybe if I showed the others that humans weren't just out to kill all of us then maybe we could stop fighting so much. No one really liked fighting in the war so I was sure they would listen, that I was.
"Of course when we arrived at the village many people were not at all happy with me, especially my master. But over time even they started to like Kairu. Somehow the greatest Dragon Slayer of all time had come to befriend almost the entire village of dragons.
"After that we really did make an effort to stop the war. Humans were fighting in this for the same reasons we were, to protect their homes and families. We stopped looking for humans to fight and took to staying in our villages away from humans. We swore to not cause any harm to humans at all. Of course the humans were happy to be done with us and war was declared over by both sides.
"A while after the end of the war Kairu had to return home but still wrote to us about every week or so. But sadly about a year later was when he became very ill. He wrote us and of course and of course we wanted to visit but we thought it best not to go. In one of his last letters to me he asked me to check up on the village and you every now and then to make sure everything was still safe.
"So once a year to keep my promise I would visit Oak Tree and check up on you and visit Kairu's grave."
"So that's why you were there." Said Kaoru. "Well it's a good thing you were. I can see how my dad became friends with you. You're a good person, nothing like dragons are supposed to be. I guess our views of you guys are all wrong."
"Sadly, no. There are still dragons that terrorize humans to this day even after we all took a vow not to. They were the dragons that in the war would use dirty tricks to kill humans.
"After the war they grew angry with us for deciding to do such a thing as leave humans in peace and they left the rest of us and moved to an island where they could stay themselves. Among other dragons they are referred to as the Dark Dragons. They hate humans so much they can't stand the idea of coexisting with them.
"They have made it their goal to rid to world of humans once and for all. They are the ones that keep up our bad reputation among humans.
"When I visited Oak Tree this year it was because some friends and I had been patrolling the area around Oak Tree for any signs of them. It is now our goal to stop them."
"That's so mean of them! After all the work the rest of you have been doing to keep peace between the two races they're still just going around killing people." Yelled Kaoru.
Kenshin nodded solemnly as he thought more on the matter.
"Hey Kenshin" She asked. "If you were busy patrolling for bad guys why did you take the time to stay around here?"
"I promised to keep you safe Kaoru-dono, that I did. After that meeting I decided to stay around a little long to make sure everything was all right. And it's a good thing I did too."
"Thank you so much Kenshin."
"Huh? For what?"
"For everything. You saved me twice now. And thank you for telling me all this about you and my father and everything. It must not have been easy for you. But thank you for trusting me enough to do it. I know I trust you. We can be good friends now. Just like you and my father were."
"Yes." He replied slowly, as a smile spread across his face. "I guess we can. We will be good friends..Kaoru. Yes indeed we will."
