Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin!!!
For those who reviewed, thanks!! I'm going to school now, and I have a bunch of homework to do. The reason why I have school now, is because I go to a
Private school.. Forgive me. But please read the story!! And tell me if you think I have too many flashbacks!! You people love Misao too much!!! I was gonna kill
Her. But after a few reviews, some people said not to kill her. R+R!!!
Chapter Six
A Lesson Never To Forget
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ On the road again
"KENSHIN!!! Why didn't we finish them when we had the time?!! I mean, they were caught off guard!! Don't you think that we should get them? Don't you-OOF!!!" Kaoru said as she accidentally bumped into Kenshin. "What was that for?!!!" she nearly screamed.
"It's time for me to teach you how to run really fast if that's what you call it. But you'll never compare to me.." he said. "And, it was about time you shut
up.. My goodness, you talk louder than a blabbering rooster!" he said while finally turning around.
"Fine!! Whatever!! I don't care. Just teach me.. And don't give me any of that rooster crap!! I don't like your attitude." Kaoru said. (An: If my mother
heard me talking in this kind of language, she would faint!! Hehe, don't listen to me.. I'm not putting any of those really bad words, but enough said, to the story!)
'Wow. I'm impressed. I mean, that even isn't a bad word, almost. But she has spirit.. she acts like a mother hen sometimes. With the ' I don't like your attitude!!' stuff. (An: She sounds like my mom. Heehee) "Let's get started."
Kaoru nodded. "What do I do first?" she asked a bit impatiently.
"Have patience is the first lesson." Kenshin hid a small chuckle. "If you have patience now, you'll be able to use that patience later. Especially when you
meet Shishio. He'll be testing your patience a lot!" Kenshin informed. "First you have to…"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Two hours later (An: Sorry for the time skipping!! I'm not trying to make this short!!)
"Wow!! I'm most likely impressed!! You're really good!! When I was little, I never ran this fast!" Kaoru praised. Kaoru had improved her running skills
thanks to Kenshin. And all in two hours!
"Yeah yeah.. Whatever.. Let's get going. We have to go to Tokyo. Unless you really want to stay here?" Kenshin asked with boredom hanging on to him
like a belt. (An: That didn't make sense….. v__v)
"I think I'll come.. let's go now!" Kaoru said as she started towards the direction of Tokyo. 'I can't wait to meet this Shishio guy.. I wonder who he is? I
think I heard about him before. I have an uncle named Shishio, but I don't think they're the same person. This Shishio guy sounds like a madman trying to kill
people like this.' Kaoru thought as she walked. Tokyo wasn't so far away in my story. Only a few miles.
Kenshin was walking a few feet behind Kaoru. He saw that she was deep in thought. And that was the time he started looking her over. He noted her fine
Creamy white skin. And ebony dark black hair. Her deep sapphire eyes that glowed with life. It was the eyes that intrigued him. It was the eyes that stopped him from killing her all those years ago. (An: Uh-oh, there's gonna be a flashback! ^^; sorry!!)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~FlashBack~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"So this is the Kamiya mansion. My job, Kamiya Kaoru. If anyone gets in the way, kill them. Even if it's her family. Kill them if you must."
Kenshin recited the words that his boss, still Shishio, said. Kenshin was fifteen at this time. (An: If you're getting confused, I'll explain in the next few chapters or so.)
"Kaoru!! Time for bed!!!" Kaoru's mother, Narushima, called from her room.
"Okay mom!!!" eleven yr. Old Kaoru called from the living room. Kaoru ran up the stairs and ran inside her room. She was about to say good-
night to her parents and brother, Yahiko. So she darted out of her room and headed straight for the master bedroom. That was when she saw the door
ajar. 'Mom and Dad never leave their door open. There must be trouble!!!!' Kaoru thought and ran even faster to her final destination. She rammed,
literally, into the door and saw the battle.
"GIVE ME KAMIYA KAORU NOW!!!!" a red-haired man was screaming at her parents and her younger brother Yahiko.
'Yahiko must've come to say goodnight too.' Kaoru thought again. "ow. My head hurts." Kaoru tried to say as quietly as she could. But the
strange man heard her. She saw his eyes. They were an amber color. This intrigued her, a lot.
"Ah.. you must be the Kaoru I'm looking for. Please come here so that I can kill you and finish my assignment." Battousai said as he reached out
his hand to the little girl. 'And get back to my girl Tomoe.'
Kaoru looked confused. She didn't know why this guy wanted to kill her. "Why? Why do you want to kill me? What did I do to you?" She asked
With her blue eyes blazing with a pleading fire that danced around. This intrigued him too. He never saw such blue eyes that you could drown in.
"Don't argue with me wench! You don't know what I can do." He stated flatly. He turned his head to look at Kaoru's family. "My, my, my, my, my, what a pitiful family you got here wench. I thought the Kamiya family had honor! I thought you would die with honor! And to think that this stupid
family could defend you with wooden swords? I don't think so!" He said while he got off his position on the windowsill. And with a flick of his hand,
three heads were surrounded in a pool of blood. One Kaoru's father, two Kaoru's mother, and three Yahiko.
Kaoru watched in horror as she saw her only family killed. That was when she realized that she was the last of the Kamiya line!! She was the only
Hope for her family. So that she could have children and be old with her husband. "Why does it have to be me?!!" she screamed at Battousai.
Battousai narrowed his eyes into slits and stared hard at her eyes. 'Why does she have to look so pretty? (An: Can any of you guys tell me the
Color of Tomoe's eyes and hair?) WHY IN THE WORLD DID SHISHIO GIVE ME HER?!!!!!' someone screamed in Battousai's head. "Because the world
Is a stupid place to live." Battousai said as he silently stalked over to her.
Kamiya Kaoru. A cheerful person and a serious one too. But she can be really dense at times. But how dense can you get? Kaoru knew when she
Was in trouble. She knew when she would get caught. She knew when she would die. So she darted out of the door and ran into the washing machine room. She ran to the dryer and went inside. Unfortunately, she couldn't fit, being and eleven yr. Old and all.
But Battousai was not stupid. And anyone that thought that he was, had their heads cut off that very second. He ran into the washing machine room as well. But he couldn't find her, because he gave her a head start. "I know where you're hiding! Come out." He demanded.
Kaoru came out slowly seeing that hiding would lead to her death. She came out cautiously out of the hamper, and was very, very, pissed off that he could find her. For she was the best player in Hide and Go Seek. Her eyes were blazing with a blue fire. Boy, was she mad! "Okay. I'm out what do you want." She asked with a slight catch of annoyance. Luckily, Battousai just ignored it. Her head was up high and were in slits.
'Wow. Who thought that a little girl like her could be so mad. She looks really pretty! What am I saying?! She's my assignment for tonight! But those eyes are so attractive.. Grrrr, I can't get this straight. Wait is she angry?' he asked himself as he noticed a tense Kaoru standing before him.
"LEAVE MY FAMILY ALONE!" she hissed.
Battousai ignored this and was about to leave when she said.
"Thank you for leaving." She whispered.
He was so surprised. At least she had manners. But a minute ago she was hissing like a cat. Oh well.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~End Flashback~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was night time by the time they reached Tokyo. It glowed with lights and was full of life. Kenshin wasn't amused by this. He's been here a million times.
"Wow!! What a city!!" Kaoru said with stars in her eyes. "This is nothing like Kyoto!!!" she said while walking down the street with Kenshin.
"There's nothing here to look at. Let's go." Kenshin said.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
An: I'm soooooo sorrrrry!!!!! I didn't mean to come up so short! But I'll try to make it longer next time! Please review!!
