Previously on Rurouni Kenshin:

Chapter one: Why me?

But it was too late, Kaoru's parents had died. Kaoru ran to the nearest

room (AN: which was a guest room).

Kenshin followed her.

"Kaoru?" Kenshin asked

"Y-Y-Yes?" Kaoru managed to say through her sobs. But she broke down.

Kenshin pulled her into an embrace so tight, that if

he let her go, they would die. Even if they did not know each other well,

it felt right. When they where with each other...

Everything would be all right....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Disclaimer: I don't own a thing, not a thing in this story, but the plot.

Summary: Kaoru's parents want her to marry Soujiro but she does not want too. She meets Kenshin at a ball and her parents die the same night. Will she eventually have to marry Sou? or will she fall in love with Kenshin?
Title: When doves cry

Chapter two: Soujiro?

" " When someone speaks

They stayed like this for a little while until...

"Kaoru, are you okay now?" Kenshin asked letting go

"Yeah I'm okay..." Kaoru said getting up, but she stumbled back down

"I guess I'm really that weak...sorry." Kaoru said when Kenshin helped her up

"It's okay," Kenshin said giving her a smile

She smiled back

"Hey Jou-chan!" Sano said running in the room

"Yes, Sano?" Kaoru asked

"You okay?" Sano asked

"I'm fine Sano, thanks" Kaoru said giving him a smile

"You sure?" Misao asked

"Yeah I'm sure." Kaoru said

"Sano, do you hear that?" Kenshin asked

"Hear what?" Sano asked

There was another gunshot

"Hear that!" Kenshin yelled

A guy with midnight blue hair, Shot down the door.

"Sano, you get them out of here!" Kenshin yelled

"I'm on it!" Sao said running to them.

"Oh no I'm here for something!" They guy said politely, pointing at Kaoru

"And I'm afraid I can't let you have her." Kenshin said signaling them to get out. But the guy caught on. He pulled out his

gun and shot Sano in his right arm.

"Megumi Help him!!" Kaoru screamed

"I'm on it!" Megumi rushing to Sano's side

"Misao, please leave!" Kaoru shouted

"I'm not going anywhere!" Misao shouted back

Aoshi heard gunshots and ran in the room

"Misao, are you alright?" Aoshi asked

"I am but Sano's not!" Misao said pointing at Sano

Then the guy shot Aoshi in the leg

"Lord Aoshi!!!!!" Misao screamed running to his side

"Megumi, help!" Misao yelled

Megumi ran to Aoshi

"Megumi, is Sano alright?" Misao asked

"He'll live." Megumi answered back

"Kaoru, do you see what I can do?" The guy asked. Firing the gun at Kenshin. But Kenshin easily dogged it.

Because Kenshin didn't have his sword, and because the guy was so fast he was kicked aside. The guy pointed the gun to

Kaoru's head.

"Kaoru, I'm sorry to have hurt your friends but, you have a choice. Marry me or all of you will die." He said

Kaoru burst into tears saying

"Why are you doing this Soujiro?" Kaoru asked

Okay my friend's boyfriend has to move away to another country and she has been calling my house singing this song.

And now I can't get it out of my head...(by the way this song has nothing 2 do with this chapter....)

I'm going down

Time on my hand.

Since you been away boy.

I aint got no plans.

No, no, no, no.

And the sound of the rain,

In my window pane,

Is slowly, slowly, driving me insane.

Boy! I'm goin' down.

I'm goin' down,

Cause' you ain't around, baby.

My whole worlds up...side down.

Sleep don't come easy.

Boy, please believe me.

Since you been gone,

everything's been going wrong.

Why'd ya have to say goodbye?

Look what you've done to me.

I can't stop these tears from falling from my eyes.

Ooh baby, I'm going down,

I'm going down.

Cause' you ain't around, baby.

My whole world's up...side down.
