A pair of golden eyes watched Kaoru slumber. It had taken a while to get her to say what had happened, in fact it had even taken him an oath not to do anything to a certain someone who was very close to getting hurt. 'Tsuki.' The very name was enough to make his blood boil. After Kaoru had reluctantly told him, he had bandaged her newly opened wound and tucked her into bed, getting into his own and feigning sleep. It took her a while to finally succumb to her exhaustion, when her breathing finally evened, he got up and sat next to her in deep thought 'Why is she doing this?' A list of possible reasons ran through his head. 'She was jealous. She had a grudge against Kaoru? She had a grudge against him? If Tsuki did not plan the attack, why then, did she hurt Kaoru? Iie, that was not a simple conversation, she almost threatened her.' His fingers deftly went to his sakabato lying next to his side. One thing was certain; he had to figure out that womans intention before she hurt Kaoru again. He glanced at Kaoru's sleeping face, his amber eyes began turning back to purple, before he went out of the room and headed for Tsuki's.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Tsuki had been busy cleaning her katana when a person knocked on her door.
"Come in." She started in slight surprise when Yoko entered the room. It wasn't her surprise at Yoko coming to her, in fact she had been expecting that, however, it was the eyes of the woman of her infatuation, that startled, maybe scared her. 'Like those of an animal!' She put on her coolest face and spoke in a harsher voice than what she had expected.
"What do you want Yoko?"
"Why?" He noticed the slight waver in the woman's voice and became slightly satisfied.
"Nani? What do you mean why?"
"Why did you hurt Kai? She already feels guilty about Kikyo, I'm sure you coming in and threatening her served no purpose other than to satisfy your needs for domination. But why did you hurt her?"
She smiled. 'Ahh how sweet, she means to protect her friend.'
Kenshin watched closely as Tsuki stood from her bed and walked over to him slowly, until they were about a foot apart. She then leaned over to him and spoke in a low voice.
"I think Kai is old enough to take responsibility for her own actions. I also think that she is fully capable of fighting her own fights. If she had a problem with the way I treated her then she should have come to me." She began turning her back to Yoko. "Besides, I treat her as I do everyone else." Walking away she let a small smirk. "Next time, she needs to come to me, I can't have one of my fellow ninja's cowering in the corner like a wounded bitch!"
Purple eyes widened then turned amber. 'How dare she say that about Kaoru!' His hand tightened around the hilt of his sword. Tsuki turned slightly when she heard the katana slide from its sheath. Her eyes widened as she saw the amber eyes glaring at her with utmost hate in them. 'Y…you are a demon!' was her only thought.
"I warn you. You so much as look in Kai's direction in a bad way, it will be the last time you see from those eyes." The voice was soft and low, underlying anger and a promise.
Kenshin watched the girl nod slightly, and then with great difficulty sheathed his katana. Tsuki visibly relaxed when she heard the sharp click. He turned to walk out of the door but not before putting his hand on the frame and looking back at her.
"You should know; Kai has just saved your life." Her questioning look prompted his continuation. "She forced me to promise not to do anything to you before she told me what you did." With that he left the woman to her thoughts.
Tsuki released the breath of air she didn't even know she had kept. 'What is she?' Her thoughts went back to when she was fighting Yoko. That speed was incredible, but somehow I know she was holding back!' Suppressing a shudder she kept thinking about this new mystery. The more she questioned the more she wanted. She went to the door and closed it slightly, noticing a slight indent from where Yoko had placed her hand. 'So strong.' Her hand went over the indent in the wood, and pulled back sharply. 'Hot! This woman has to have an incredible battle aura to release heat that would stay on the wood!' Grasping her hand she slowly turned around and headed for her bed. "Yoko, I will have you." She whispered to her empty room.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kaoru woke to find a shadow standing beside her. With a loud "Kyaaaa!" She jumped to the side and smacked the persons face as hard as she could.
"ORO!!" Kenshin's body flew across the room leaving a slight indent in the wall.
Kaoru jumped out of her bed and ran to her fallen warrior. "Kenshin, gomen nasai!" She picked up his head from the ground and promptly dropped it again, as the swirly eyes and bruised grotesque face startled her. Kenshin just groaned. 'Kami, am I going to die at the hand of her fists?' He felt himself being picked back up and braced himself for impact, but this time the ground didn't come again. 'Arigato Kami.'
"Kenshin, what were you doing?" She wiped his face with a wet cloth she had gotten after dropping him the first time. "You scared me, you shouldn't do that you know! Especially here!
"Gomen nasai Kaoru. I was just getting ready to wake you up. The doctor wanted to speak to you…" He couldn't even finish his sentence when she dropped his head again and ran to the door.
"Arigato Ken…err Yoko! I'll be back in a bit!" With that she ran out of the room.
Kenshin sighed and stood up. 'Next time I need to wake her; I will remember to use a five foot pole and tie pillows all around my body!" He began to follow her.
Kaoru knocked on the doctor's door. When it opened she rushed inside to see her friend. "How is she?"
"She is doing much better. She still has not regained consciousness, but her fever is going down."
Kaoru looked at the woman who had saved Kikyo's life. "Gomen." She bowed her head in shame. "I have been so worried about my friend, I have been utterly rude to you. I don't even know your name."
The woman looked at Kaoru and smiled softly. "Maki. My name is Maki, and that's all right. I've been in the same situation you are in now." Her smile melted replaced with a fine-lipped frown. "You are Kai correct?" With the girls conformation she gestured for her to sit. She then walked over to the door and opened it revealing a slightly shocked Yoko. "Don't worry I knew you were going to come to as well. It seems like you two hardly ever separate!" She began laughing slightly. "Please sit down with Kai."
When the two where situated she became very serious. "I want you two to listen very carefully. I don't know why you were told to go walk the woods alone Kai, that is not permitted anymore." She raised her hands to ward off the questions forming on the two female's mouths. "It is extremely dangerous. The town Kikyo was attacked near has a history of…injuring lone women." The tired woman sat across from Kai and Yoko. "You deserve to know about someone who was also attacked once, she wasn't so lucky. With her death, came the birth of the Dragon's Angels."
