Okay for those of you who want to know what happens when Kenshin finds out that Kaoru knows the Hiten Mitsurugi Stye, I will be putting that in another chapter. Sorry! But that would bring my story to a close very soon and I have plans for this story! But if you have something to say, then tell me in your reviews. NO FLAMES!! Thank You!! Here's another chapter. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Recap of last chapter: -When she was close enough she jumped up, twirled in the air, and swept down like an eagle while she had her sword in front of her. She was aiming for his heart.
And she succeeded.

Chapter Twelve Rumors?
George fell down with a dull thud. Eyes blank, mouth agape, a hole in his chest, his own blood surrounding him. What a terrible way to die.
Kaoru smiled before her eyes turned back to their normal hue and her face into one like a little girl. When she saw the body on the floor, she nearly screamed. And when she saw the blood, she nearly died. "What happened here?!" she gasped as she started backing away from the body. Then she remembered that she wanted to be apart of the group. "Oh. I'm sorry." She said as she hung her head in guilt.
All of the hitokiris were staring at her like she was a part of their family. They greeted her with warm smiles and hugs or pats on the back. But they all stopped this when she started to speak.
"Please don't tell Kenshin about this. I don't want him to know who I am anymore." She said quietly. She looked up with sad and pleading eyes. "PLEASE don't tell Kenshin!"
Everyone just stared at her before nodding.
When Kaoru saw that everyone agreed to this, she turned to her uncle and asked, "What will my hitokiri name be?" she asked.
Shishio actually thought about this, not that he ever did, but he always plans ahead. So this caught him by surprise. "I haven't thought about it yet. Come see me tomorrow and I'll tell you." He said as he stood up. "Okay. Everyone knows the rules right? Go to your daily jobs."
Everyone all of the sudden disappeared leaving Kaoru, Shishio, and Soujiro in the room.
"Huh? Where'd everyone go?" she asked herself as she looked around to see if any of them were left.
"They went to do their jobs." Shishio said. When he saw the look of even more confusion on her face he said, "They ran at high speed to get out of here."
Kaoru said a silent 'oh' and continued to listen.
"As for you Kaoru, you will guard the walls in the northern section. Just in case one of our enemies come and try to attack us. Besides, this is good exercise for you." Shishio informed. "Soujiro has other jobs too so he won't be guarding you right now until nightfall comes."
Kaoru looked at Soujiro. She stared at him for about a second before he too disappeared. She looked back at her uncle and bowed graciously before she walked out of the dojo.
Shishio stared at his niece before leaving as well.
With Kenshin.
"Where'd everyone go?" he asked himself when he was walking around the empty halls. His sandals made those clicking sounds as he walked around with his high ponytail swishing in the wind. Then as if nothing happened, the halls were filled again. "What?". Then he asked a nearby hitokiri about where they went and how come he wasn't invited.
"We were at the dojo watching a new member kill George. Sh- I mean he, was really good! He knows the Hiten Mitsurugi style just like you!"
Kenshin looked hard into the man's eyes trying to determine if the man was lying or not. When he saw that the man wasn't lying he said, "Thanks Dominic." Then he walked off to the dojo. Of course he knew Dominic was lying. He could've killed him if he wanted. But he didn't so that didn't matter.
"That was close! I thought he was going to kill me!" Dominic said before walking off in the opposite direction of Kenshin.
Kenishin immediately saw the dead body on the floor when he arrived at the dojo. He walked over to it and looked at the lifeless form lying there with blood surrounding him. He looked around to see if anyone would clean up the mess. But he didn't. So left the dojo looking for a wet cloth and found one near a well. When he got back he started washing the already dried up blood (in my story, blood dries fast so you can't say anything!-_-;). He was concentrating so hard on scrubbing all of the blood off he didn't notice a certain presence enter the room.
"Well, well. I leave this body for someone else to clean up and who do I find cleaning up this mess instead? The Battousai!" Shishio stated.
Kenshin looked up from his work and stared hard at Shishio. "Who'd you expect to clean up this mess? The birds that fly through the window?" he asked sarcastically.
"No. I was expecting the rats."
Kenshin sweat dropped. "Just get to the point." He said as he continued his work while listening closely.
"We have a knew member."
"I know that. Dominic told me."
"I knew that baka couldn't keep a thing from you." Shishio growled. "Do you know the name of the person?" he asked as he sat down on one of the pillows still lying around.
"No. Dominic told me that it was a guy." Kenshin said as he finally looked up from his work. The blood was all gone. "I would like to meet him." He stated.
"I'm afraid I can't do that. It'll be too devastating for you."
"What do you mean devastating?" Kenshin asked as he started to the pillow across from Shishio.
"Oh nothing. I heard rumors that the fighter is a woman."
"Eh?" Kenshin asked really confused.
"You know! A WOMAN. You're even married to one!!"
Kenshin finally got it through his head. "Oh! Really?"
Shishio sighed. "You're hopless."
"What do you mean hopeless?"
"Forget what I said. IF you want to see a fight then go to the northern section of this warehouse and look for a fight. There might be a crowd gathering there but I know by the time you get there the person will be gone." Shishio informed as he got up and was about to leave the room.
"Okay."
Shishio started to leave but after he said, "I think you might find the fight interesting." He said and left.
Kenshin stared at him. Then he had those memories of training with Hiko. "I remember he had some student that was a girl." He stated as he left what was left of the mess that was actually the remnants of George, for the cleaning lady.
With Kaoru.
Kaoru stood on the northern wall watching and waiting to see if anything happened. She wanted to fight. She didn't know why she just did. She didn't know that her eyes were back to that color when she killed George. She was blood lusting. She really wanted blood. Blood surrounding her, blood covering her, a blood bath maybe! 'Yeah! That would be nice! After I'm done killing the person that's about to attack this place I can kill one of the maids and put her blood in a bucket and take a nice warm bath.' Kaoru thought darkly. How Kaoru knew that someone was going to attack the place she didn't know she just did.
Kaoru jumped down from the wall and landed lightly on her feet. She heard the running footsteps and heard the panting of someone approaching the place quickly. She took out her katana and took the Hiten Mitsurugi style stance. Then she waited for her opponent to arrive.
Akira came running to the warehouse. He had wanted to kill Shishio for a long time now and now it was time. Time to kill. "I will kill Shishio! I WILL kill him!!!" he screamed while he was running. Then he approached the northern gates. What he saw surprised him.
