DISCLAIMER: No... I don't own anything to do with Kenshin even though I may fantasize. Does it count if I have him locked in my room at the moment??????



A/N: Hello everybody! Sorry I am taking so long.... I have more chapters just need more time to post.... I really would like to know what you guys think. So please review! For the hot rurouni if not for me! ^_^x



~~~~~~~~~

Kaoru woke the next morning and remembered the night before. She got dressed in her kimono, and ran to find Kenshin. She first tried the kitchen. He normally made her breakfast. She reached the kitchen, only finding Sano and Yahiko complaining how hungry they were but not willing to do anything themselves.



"Have you seen Kenshin?" Kaoru asked.



"Nope. Have you missy?"



"No. I can't find him. I'm going to look around."



"Is everything ok Ugly?"



"No. There is something wrong with Kenshin, and I have to help him."



Yahiko knew something was wrong. Kaoru hadn't made any comment about him calling her ugly, and that just wasn't Kaoru. She must have been really worried. Sano must have thought the same thing because he said,



"We'll help you look missy. Just calm down. I'll check the bath and laundry tub, yahiko check outside everywhere, and missy you look around the dojo. He may have just overslept."



"Right." They all said in unison.



Kaoru ran through the dojo. She had a horrible feeling, a familiar feeling, and she hated that foreboding. Not finding him anywhere, she ran to his room. She threw open the door, and there was nothing. Everything that was Kenshin's was gone. The futon was folded in the corner, the sheets washed and put away. Everything was empty and unoccupied.



Sano and Yahiko heard her scream.



"KENSHIN NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!"



They both ran as fast as they could to his room where they heard the scream. There they found Kaoru, who had thrown herself to the floor, crying and screaming,



"Why Kenshin? Why!?! Kenshin NO!!! NO!!!!!!!!!"



They both noticed the empty room. Then they knew he was gone. But why? Why would he leave? He had promised. They stood perplexed. They didn't know how to react. Then they heard a "CRASH!" and looked over to see that Kaoru had punched her hand through the door, and glass was everywhere.



"Kaoru NO!!" shouted Sano. "That's not the answer. I don't know what's going on here, but don't hurt yourself over it!"





Sano and Yahiko pulled her away from the door. Then they took her to Dr. Ginzai to bandage her arm. All the while she said almost in a whisper,



"Ken-shin..... no.... why.... Kenshin...."



As soon as they had bandaged the arm, Kaoru was taken to her room and laid in her futon. She was given a concoction of Megumi's that helped her fall asleep. But even her dreams were haunted. She thought she would never see the one she loved again. She had lost him. Was she not good enough? Had she not loved him enough? What had gone wrong?
