Kaoru walked out of town towards an old abandon road. 'Haven't been this way in a long time,' She thought. It was nice having alone time, lately she had been so rapped up in training Yahiko, and her relationship with Kenshin; it seemed that she didn't have much time to herself lately. Kaoru stopped for a moment on the old road and looked around. She had been walking for at least two hours now and she decided to stop. 'This Kimono is the hardest thing I have ever walked in,' she thought. "How did you do it?" Kaoru
After resting for a while she walked on but instead she ventured off the road and into the forest that was running alongside it. Kaoru walked through the forest 'Wow there has been a lot of growth here since I last visited.' She thought clutching her flowers tightly to her chest. Soon the forest ended and she was in a small clearing and in the middle of the clearing was a small grave.
"Mother-" She whispered as she walked up to the site. She lay down the flowers. "White orchids-I know they're your favorites. Look I'm wearing your old dress."she twirled as if someone was there to see her. "I'm finally old enough to fit it." Kaoru knelt down by the flowers and started to cry. It seemed so long since she died, Kaoru barely remembered her face and what she looked like. Karou stood up and started to pray.
"Kaoru-" came a familiar voice from behind her.
Kaoru's heart dropped as she turned around quickly. "You-" She said bitterly. She looked a boy who looked to be no more than a few years older than her. "Kenji-what are you doing here?" she spat "You don't even deserve to be here."
"I came to pay respect to my mother," said the boy sweetly. "I also came because I knew my little sister would be here." The boy had the same eyes as Kaoru and the same hair as her. "My how you've grown"
"Are you saying that you care?" Kaoru said staring at him, "because that would be a first."
"Kaoru, please listen to me-"
"Why? So you can lie your way through everything again? I don't think so." She said through clenched teeth. She felt tears start to burn her cheeks again.
"Kaoru-" he started to say.
"NO!!!" Kaoru yelled as she ran off. This was too much to handle, she had to get away from him.

Kaoru ran through the forest and to the road as fast as she could. Thunder rang out and drops of rain started to fall, gradually getting harder. Kaoru kept running, rain, tears and sweat all mingled together on her face as she ran. 'I have to get away from him.I won't let him hurt me again.' She didn't care anymore about what happened to her mother's kimono she just wanted to get away as fast as she could.
By the time she had reached the town she was soaking wet. Kaoru had reached the Dojo; she was exhausted. She was about to open the gate, when from inside Kenshin opened it holding an umbrella.
"Miss Kaoru." but he didn't finish what he was about to say, as soon as Kaoru saw him she threw her arms around him and began to cry harder than she had been the whole time she had been running.
She buried her face into his chest, and said something that sounded like "why?"
Kenshin dropped his umbrella and put his arms around her, they both had forgotten the rain that had know soaked Kaoru to the bone. Kenshin then realized that she had fallen asleep in his arms. "Miss Kaoru what happened to you."
To be continued.
