DISCLAIMER: I do not own RK

"Well you filthy little boy, is your good friend the batausassai coming to save you?" asked sensei Katzu Kurata.  He was an evil man that had fought Kenshin previously during the revolution.  He had lost of course but had been training himself and waiting to meet Kenshin again.  This time he was planning on taking his life.

"Of course he's coming!" shouted Yahiko, his hands bound behind him taughtly.

"Well, maybe he has forgotten your pathetic existence and has moved on to better things"

"What do you mean by that?!?"

"I'll have you know that I'm trained in the Kamiya Kashin style!!!" Yahiko stated proudly.

"Such a weakling as you should not be so proud of the Kamiya Kashin style."

"I mean, how will you inflict any harm on the opponent with that little wooden sword?"

"Oh you're really in for it!"

"Well, if you are so strong then why don't you simply break free?"

"grr" said Yahiko, knowing that he had lost this one.

I have to get out of here, thought Yahiko to himself.  I wish that Kenshin and the others would just hurry up!  Whats taking so long?!?  I've been here for nearly three days already and I'm really hungry!

"I'm out to go find the bataussai!"

"I've waited long enough!" said Kurata.

"What about me?" asked Yahiko.

"Make sure the boy doesn't break free!"

"Yes sir." Said one of the dojo students.

Kenshin & Kaoru

"Kaoru, well what I wanted to say was that…"

"Was that well, I really love you."

Silence filled the room as Kenshin waited for a reply.

"Kenshin, do you really mean that?" asked Kaoru eagerly.

"Yes Miss Kaoru, I've wanted to tell you for a while now."

"I realized how I felt when we left for our journey."

"Kenshin there is something that I wanted to tell you too."

"I love you too!"

"How touching" said a voice coming from that back of the room.  It was Sano.

"All this time Kaoru!" Sano shouted in rage.

"And Kenshin!"

"I'll kill you!"

"You knew that I had feelings for Kaoru! And then I find you both here! Doing, lord knows what!"

"Sano…" started Kaoru.

"Shut up you deceiving little slut!"

"I guess that the two of you don't really care for Yahiko's well being do you?!?"

Tears dropped from Kaoru's eyes as she listened to Sano shout vile words at her, without

pity.  Was it this hard to love someone?  Why hadn't she simply told Sano how she felt about him?  Instead she had let it come to the point to where Sano wanted to kill Kesnshin!

I hope that u all liked this dramatic chapter! Btw, I didn't mean to make Sano look so mean…infact I really like Sano.  I just wanted to story to be interesting! O and Yahiko is one strong little boy, he should be able to handle that old guy! Sorry if this is not spaced out! I really tried but I think that Microsoft wrd is like broken or sumthing!!! If  ne1 knows how to fix this plz plz let me kno! Until next time! Ja-ne! ^_^x
