Okay, no that i have left myself at an evil cliffie...I decided that I had to go on. so here's to chapter 3
"Kenshin this is Kauru Kamiya. She teachesKendo at her family's dojo, and volunteers at the homeless shelter." Scarlet introduced them and walked over to the boy that the girl had brought in.
Kenshin laid back, this girl's presence having a calming effect over him, and went to sleep.
Later he awoke to the sound of humming. He sat bolt upright and immediately regretted it as pain shot through his side. "Kuso." he muttered under his breath, as he threw himself back onto the sheets.
"Lie still, I will go get Miss Scarlet." he heard a soft voice.
"No." he opened his eyes and grabbed her wrist. "Please, just sit with me for awhile."
Her blue eyes softened, and she sat down beside his bed and began humming.
"That song, where did you learn it?"
"My grandmother taught it to me when i was a child." she said, surprised at the young man's question.
"Who is the boy you brought in?"
"That was Yahiko Miojin, his father and mother were killed a few days ago, and he was beaten up and robbed the night before you came by some thugs, but some stranger rescued him. He kept mumbling about red hair, but i can make no sense of it. The Guy that robbed him was nicknamed Motman by his comrades." She said.
Kenshin felt relived. He had done good instead of the evils that he had been expecting.
"Where's Sanouske?"
"The spikey haired guy?, He left with megumi earlier and hasn't been back since."
"How long have I been out?" he asked, dreading the answer, feeling how stiff his muscles were.
"Three days."
"Holy...I have to get home!"
"No. Sanouske told me to tell you that he had you covered." She said.
Kenshin laid back with a sigh. Tonight would be hell to say the least. He would be well enough to walk and he had to start training soon.
"Do you want something to drink?" she asked
Kenshin noticed, now, that his throat was almost painfully dry, he nodded.
After he drank, they sat for awhile in companionable silence.
"Kauru?" Kenshin broke the silence.
"Hm?"
"Why are you the teacher of your kindo school?"
"My mother died when i was young, and my father died a few years ago." she replied, her tone was flat and emotionless.
"Sorry." he said.
"No. I'm over it. it's okay now."
"Why didn't I see you at school?"
"I graduated two years ago. I was home schooled." She sighed. "I'm 17 now. "
"Wow, that's young."Kenshin said, astonishment clear in his voice.
Kauru only nodded.
"Red hair...Red hair..."The boy across the room mumbled and sat up screaming.
"Shhhh. it's okay, you're safe now."Kauru told him.
Yahiko looked around scared, then spotted Kenshin across the room and sighed in relief.
"You saved me in that alley last night didn't you?"
Kenshin looked at the boy, astonished that the boy had remembered him.
"I don't know." Kenshin said, then put his face in his hands.
They heard a crash and something that sounded like gunshots, and bullets rittled the wall.
Kenshin's eyes went yellow and he grabbed he sword that was beside his bed and raced toward the door to the living room.
"What are you doing?!" Kauru yelled after him. 'he's going to get himself killed!' she thought as she raced after him, Yahiko following close behind.
"Miss Scarlet?" he called, "Are you okay?"
He heard a sigh come from behind the counter in the bar area.
When he saw her he ghasped. then his ees wint darker and he blacked out.
"Aaaaah!" the man screamed as he fell to the ground and pased out.
Kauru looked at the samuri who sood before her, he was completely a different person than the man she had sung to in his sleep a few minutes ago, he was a ruthless swordsman.
His eyes turned to her and the sword clattered to the ground. His legs crumpling underneath him, he soon followed.
Yet again, another Cliffie. That's the only wa I can keep writing i swear.
Oh well...
