Kaoru's Illness and Kenshin's Departure
Kaoru was feeling happier than she ever felt in a while. Through her lessons with students she was cheery and full of energy. Even when Sanosuke got annoying about the way she cooked she didn't let it get to her when she was in such a happy mood. Ever since Kenshin had said he would be with her now brought her much joy. She was relieved that he wouldnt be leaving her again.
Kenshin was also happy; seeing Tomoe and her talking to him made him understand what his life was worth. And he knew living with someone that cares about you so much was worth living for.
Kenshin was in the dojo with Yahiko and Sanosuke. Yahiko's training was definatly making him stronger. He could tell by the way he swung his sword and how he was coming up with his own techniques. Kenshin was also impressed when he saw Yahiko demonstrate his own form of the Ryu Suien on Sano.
"Yah!" Yahiko jumped up and swung his sword downward to the dojo floor. "What do you think of that Kenshin. Soon I might be as good as you." Yahiko spoke with a huge grin on his face.
"Well maybe not so soon Yahiko, but you're definatly going to get better, that you will." Kenshin smiled and turned his head to see Kaoru walk in with her bokken.
"Okay, Yahiko, time for our little battle," Kaoru held up her sword and smirked. Yahiko had begged for Kaoru to fight him so that he could show of his new skills. Kaoru denied at first but decided to show the little brat who's boss.
"This should be fun. Hey Kenshin, I hope Yahiko manages to rip some of Kaoru's clothing off. " Sano winked and smiled but unfortunately Kaoru smaked him on the head with her bokken.
"You perv!" Kaoru looked down and saw her bokken had broke because of Sano extremely hard head. "Man Sano, your head must be made of rock. Yahiko, I'll be back, I just need a new bokken." She walked out the dojo to get her other sword.
"Sano you just had to say somthing! I was ready for her too! GRRRRRR!" Yahik gave Sano a mean look and crossed his arms.
"Well, Yahiko, now you have more time to think about your battle strat..." Kenshin stopped as he saw a stumbling Kaoru walk in. She was breathing heavily and he face looked as though she had just been slapped. "Miss, Miss Kaoru?"
"Ken... shin..." Kaoru fell to the floor with a thud.
All three of them widened their eyes is shock.
"Miss Kaoru!" Kenshin ran up to her and cradled her body in his arms. Kenshin saw a poison needle and note on the side of her neck. Kenshin pulled out the dart and opened the note. As he read his face light up in fear.
"What, what is it Kenshin?!" Yahiko yelled over his shoulder.
"Go, go get Miss Megumi!"
"But I,"
"GO!"
Yahiko had no more to say but ran out to find Megumi.
"Kenshin, whats wrong with her?" Sano asked looking down at Kaoru's body. She was shaking on Kenshin's lap. Her face was all sweaty and her eyes were white. Her breathing came in gasp and she was clinging onto Kenshin's shirt.
"Someone, poisoned her to get to me," Kenshin sighed shakily. "It says it here in the note..." With that Kenshin began to read.
'Battousai,
I know you wont remember me but I clearly remember you. You killed my master during the revolution. You slaughtered him. I was filled with hatred when I found out. You have killed my master and closest friend. So now I kill your woman.
I know by now you have seen the condition shes in and its clearly poison. My own that I made and I only know how to make it and I only know the cure to it. the poison is called Saewataru Gekidoku, a paralyzing poison that will soon paralyzed her whole body, when it reaches her lungs she shall sufficate until the poison reaches her heart and then she'll die. A rather terrible way to go isnt it?
If you want to save her you need to have my cure, the Futoueki Chiyu, it will stop the paralyzing process and she will make a full recovery. But the only way you can get the cure is to defeat me.
You have about 2 weeks to before she dies. It will be slow and painful to her and she will be wishing for a faster death. You have to come to Kyoto and face me. You shall meet me at Kakushibyou Temple and fight me there. I will have my revenge.
And if you didnt know, I'm Hakaisha, 4th master of the Kaibutsu Toushin, the monster sword blade.
Hurry now, time is running out...'
"THAT BASTARD!" Sano slamed his Futaenokiwami technique into the dojo floor. "How could he do this!"
"SIR KEN!" Megumi ran into the room and took a look at Kaoru and nearly fainted. "Wha, what happened to her?" Megumi placed her hand on Kaoru's forehead. "She is burning up, was she..."
"Poisoned," Sano answered for her. " Look at this," Sano took the letter from Kenshin's shaking hands and showed it to her.
Megumi widened her eyes in shock. Then she sighed in defeat. "If this is really a new poison then there is nothing I can do. All I can do is lower her fever and watch over her."
"Why does this have to happen! If I had never been a hitokiri then this wouldn't be happening!" Kenshin slammed his fist on the floor. He looked down at Kaoru's sickly form and tears left his eyes. "Its all my fault," Kenshin lowered his head and let the tears flow.
"Ken... shin," Kaoru managed to say.
Kenshin looked at her in his lap, a small smile was placed across her face. "Miss Kaoru..."
"Its o...kay. I'll be... fine, just... just go save... me." She lifted her shaking arm and placed a hand on his teary face. "I... I love...haaa," Kaoru breathed out and dropped her arm; she then fell unconscoius still shaking and gasping for air.
Megumi was crying at the sight. Kaoru really loved Kenshin and she could tell that Kenshin loved her too.
"Kaoru!" Kenshin picked up her upper body and hugged her tightly. "I'll... I'll save you." Kenshin picked her up and set her down infront of Megumi. "Take care of her, keep her as well as you can. Im leaving now." Kenshin looked at Sano and grabbed the sheath of his sword. "Lets go."
Sano smirked and balled his fist infront of him, "finally you ask me to go fight a battle with you." He got up and they both walked to the door.
"Sir Ken, Sanosuke..." Megumi spoke.
Both of them turned and stared at her, "Yah?" Sano said.
"Please, be careful. Try not to get hurt." Tears were still falling from her eyes.
"Dont worry, Miss Megumi, we'll be just fine." Kenshin assured her with a half smile.
Both the men walked around the place gathering things to take with them for survival. When they gathered most of their things they got money from Sanosuke's friend Gatsu.
Then they headed out towards Kyoto. Both of them with serious expressions.
'Hakaisha, we'll fight soon.' Kenshin narrowed his eyes and grabbed the hilt of his sword.

^-^ GETTING READY FOR SOME ACTION! YAY! Well as you can see, Kaoru was struck down by poison by a swordsman whose master was killed by Kenshin. He now wants revenge for his masters death by useing Kaoru as a way to lure Kenshin to him.
Hakaisha is just a made up character so is Kakushibyou Temple and the poison. Just needed a few resources to make it all seem real. ^^
Japanese word definitions:
Hakaisha- the destroyer
Kakushibyou Temple - Black death temple
Kaibutsu Toushin -monster sword blade
