Kenshin was running through the trees, racing to catch his target. She was running away from him at an incredible speed, in order to catch her he ran the hardest he had ever had to. Finally he grabbed her arm and turned her to face him. Her tear-streaked face met his in stunned disbelief.
"Why…Kaoru, why don't you love me?" He cried.
"Kenshin, how could I love you?" Her simple statement sent his world crashing down on top of him. He opened and closed his mouth for several seconds. So many reasons began flashing through his mind. 'I've killed so many, I'm older by a decade, I'm not worthy.' As if she was reading his mind, she called him back.
Between the tears she smiled slightly. "Kenshin, I can't love you, not because any of those reasons but because…" She shuddered slightly.
"Why?"
"Kenshin…I can't love you because you're a woman!"
He looked at her stunned. "Iie, I'm not a woman!" He almost yelled at her. "I'm a man!" She looked at him expectantly.
"Kenshin, explain why you have breasts."
He stared at her with a stunned expression. Almost unwillingly his hand went up to his chest and felt inside the shirt he was wearing. Gasping at what he found he tore it open revealing two perfectly formed breasts instead of cloth. Swallowing the scream he had forming, his hands went much lower.
"Iiiiiiiiiiieeeeeeeeee!"
"Yoko! Yoko, wake up!!
He awoke with a sweat, to find Kaoru shaking him. He was to stunned to speak, finding the horror of his nightmare still lingering.
Kaoru had heard moans coming from Yoko as she slept. Deciding to investigate she had heard some of the conversation the dreaming girl was having in her sleep. The words Kaoru why don't you love me were clearly heard, and to be perfectly frank it scared Kaoru slightly. 'How can I love her? Does she mean as sisterly love? We only just met.' Kaoru frowned and then her face went down a shade of color, 'It can't be…does she have…a cr..crush on me?' Her question was cast aside as Yoko screamed loudly. The fear of having everyone come over to the room, and her concern for her friend made Kaoru try to wake her.
"Yoko, are you ok now?" She asked still genuinely concerned for the young girl.
"Hai, gomen nasai Kai-dono." He was still a little shaky but he felt better. Once Kaoru turned her back to him he quickly did a self-check. His chest was back to normal, and most importantly…it was still there. 'Thank Kami!' he breathed a sigh of relief and was immediately back to himself again.
"Ne, Yoko, what were you dreaming about?"
"Eh…oh nothing really, I just tend to have bad dreams sometimes, I prefer not to talk about them." Close enough to the truth he supposed.
Kaoru looked long and hard at the girl that was sitting up in her bed. Her sleep outfit had come undone down the front. 'Is she wearing her binding's at night?' Kaoru was curious, 'oh well to each their own I suppose.' She felt a slip of the bandages that were used to tie up her wound. 'Kuso, I still haven't figured out how to tie these things. Maybe she does.'
"Ano…Yoko-san?"
"Nani."
"Could you help me for a second?"
Kenshin looked at her curiously, got up and went to her side. "Nani?"
Kaoru blushed a bit, nervous to admit her own failure. "Ummm I can't seem to tie this binding very well. It keeps coming undone." She was unprepared for the immediate concern that crept into Yoko's eyes. 'Almost like…no can't be.' She shook her head.
"Kaoru, how did you get hurt?" The voice was gentle yet demanding.
"Kai, remember it's Kai. Oh it was nothing, I just messed up with a practice fight. I should have been paying more attention to my opponent." She looked expectantly at Yoko. "So will you help me?"
Kenshin relaxed slightly. "Who were you fighting against?"
"Eh, oh it was Tsuki-san. By the way I head you beat her! Wow that must mean you are really good with the katana. I'm not really used to holding a real blade though so I'm a little slower at it."
Kenshin stared in shock. 'She's holding a live sword?' "I thought you didn't believe in fighting with a Katana." He raised his voice slightly in disbelief.
"I don't but I have to here." She held up the bandages impatiently. "Can you help me or not?"
He looked at the bandages. "Ummm hai, hai, gomen." Please don't let the injury be where I think it is.
Kaoru began taking off her nightshirt.
'Ohhhhhh shit.' He began to panic. "Ano…Kai can't your friend do this?" He began backing away slowely becoming even more panicked as her shirt fell down. The only thing covering her from the elements was the bandage that seemed to be teasing him by slowely falling off her shoulder. He silently cursed the bandage for coming undone in the first place.
"Kikyo is just as hopeless at fixing wounds as I am. Now come here and help me with this."
Kenshin swallowed hard. 'Well if I can bind her wounds from behind her it won't be so bad.' He quickly went behind her as she began unraveling the bandages, and began fighting a nosebleed. 'Man oh man…..' This was NOT what he had planned for when he came here. Somewhere deep inside him a voice spoke to him. 'Hey, your going to die anyway, enjoy the view while you live!' 'Shut up,' he told the voice, 'Shessa doesn't disserve her.' Kaoru handed him the newer bandages. Trying all his might to be good was difficult; he had to reach around her without touching anything.
Kaoru waited patiently and almost laughed as Yoko ran behind her. 'Maybe she doesn't have the experience in this kind of thing.' She had to stifle a laugh as two awkward hands appeared around her, trying to tie the bindings around her chest from the back. She grabbed the hands at the second wrap feeling the girl jump slightly at the sudden contact.
"Yoko?"
"H..Hai?"
"It would be easier if you just came in front of me, it's ok, we are both women you know, you do have to see what your doing when you bind an injury."
"Iie, I can't!" The cry almost sounded desperate. Concerned, Kaoru turned to look at her friend.
Kenshin nearly died. Several things happened at once, when she turned he had a full onslaught of blood coming out from his nose, his world started turning, and a muffled 'Oro' came from his mouth as his hand covered his nose. He ran from the room battousai speed leaving Kaoru in a mess of bandages and droplets of blood.
Kaoru just stood there stunned. Finally when her mind started working again she held up her hand still containing one of the bandages. 'Oro? She said oro. I heard it.' She gripped the cloth tightly. 'And that speed. There is only one person I know with that speed.' Her eyes began to glow and the cloth in her hand burst into flame from her Ki. 'That speed alone won't be enough to save him if that's who I think it is!' She dropped the cloth. 'Just wait till you come back 'Yoko', you just wait till you come back.'
