Chapter

Confused Dreams
Kenshin dozed off in his futon, from trying to clear his mind. The minute he closed his eyes the dreams began again.
"AAAAAAAaaaahhhhh!"
"Don't kill me, I could pay you more than what you're getting now!"
"Have mercy, Battousai, have—"
All throughout the screams a bare chested amber eyed red haired man spattered with blood stood mercilessly with a sword and a gun and started to kill them one by one. But as he shot and slashed, ducked and whirled, his victims' ghosts suddenly rose and began edging nearer to the man, who didn't seem to notice until he came to the last man standing, a huge man in a white cloak with red trim and long black locks. The assassin took the stance and his target turned, and said,
"So you are going to use the Amakakeru Ryuu no Hirameki on me, is it? Well just you try, baka deshi!" Hiko Seijurou took the stance as well.
The assassin charged.
The target charged… and died.
At that point all the ghosts changed appearance to his parents' faces and started howling and the man's amber eyes turned to amethyst while he looked at the man lying immobile on the ground. "Hiko!!!!! Sensei!!!! Ottousan!!!! Okaasan!!! Nooooooooo!!!!" Kenshin screamed himself hoarse when realization set in.
Suddenly, his vision swirled around him. He raised his sword and sliced through the haze. Then he was surrounded by a jasmine fragrance. Sapphire eyes crying, black hair, soft white skin. "Kaoru?" he asked brokenly, disoriented.
Kenshin woke up shouting and threw all his sheets away from him. He was used to the usual nightmares, considered it as penance for all the sins he committed in the past, but to dream of someone he just met? Now that was scary.
The sound of pounding feet outside the door alerted Kenshin to the fact that he woke Yahiko up. The door slid open to show the youth dressed haphazardly, hair sticking out every which way.
"Hey, man, are you alright? I think you woke the whole neighborhood up!!! I thought we were under attack or something! You even woke the dogs up!" Yahiko said with a grimace, noting that car alarms had set off and dogs were howling, much to the displeasure of other neighbors who had been disturbed.
"Gomen, Yahiko-san. I just had the nightmare again. I'm very sorry, I thought they were long gone, but I guess the past has a way of popping out when you don't want it to." Kenshin stared blankly at the wall, willing his heart to calm down. I'm getting too old for this, he thought.
"Uhh ok then, I better get back to sleep. The Busu next door is a frickin' health buff that wakes up at 6am and eats nuts or something like that. Aurgh!"
"Yahiko?"
"What?" Yahiko turned as he was halfway out the door.
"Your teacher… is she… is sh… never mind. Good night Yahiko." Kenshin lied back down, turning on his side.
"Good night, Kenshin" Yahiko was struck dumb. Kenshin had a thing for Busu next door? He never seemed to be bothered by any woman the whole five years they've lived together. He rolled his eyes. Grown-ups don't have any taste. Kaoru's, well, yeah, granted, she has a nice ass, and her eyes aren't bad, either, and is a great friend, as far as older people go, but her and Kenshin? Man, that dude has to seriously get laid! I just can't see Busu and her stupendous temper in that way… but it's really up to them. Come to think about it, it would be kinda cool to see what would happen between those two. I can't wait to tell Tsubame and Sano! He reached the door of his room and went directly to his bed, falling asleep with a grin on his face.
At the other side of the building, Kaoru woke up with a start, as if someone had shouted her name in her ear.
"What
the…" she muttered sleepily, glancing about. After
seeing no one around, she fell back to sleep again.

A/N: I have a friend
to dedicate this chapter too... when we were somewhere in our preteens,
*wink* we had this connection where before the other one picks up the
phone to call, the other would've just connected and greets you on the
other side of the telephone instead of the dial tone. So, I used dreams
instead! Again, comments welcome. ;)
PS. to azuma ---
sorry, it got a little bit long winded but will try to hurry things
up... :)
