Amber Eyes
Chapter 24: Death Do Us Part
I layed in pain as I worked a small human out of me. It was tearing me, but I knew that it would be worth it. I had to deliver it safely. Kenshin was trying not to get his mind off or me and back to fighting, but to no avail. He was getting cut every time I screamed, so I tried harder not to. It was so hard under so much pain though.
Labor is hell. I am almost about to lost control and scream out even though Kenshin is near, but it is too hard! I can't stand it anymore... I scream. Luckily Kenshin wasn't the only one distracted, the two of them took time to ask a few questions from each other. Kenshin went first. "Why do you want ME to become your helper?"
"You are my son, not to mention the fact that you are the only one besides myself who knows any of the Hiten Mitserugi style. Now it's my turn. Why did you wander through different towns dressed like a girl a while back?"
"So you have been watching me? Well that is because I was cursed looking like you and I don't want to be recognized as you. After all I haven't done anything to deserve such punishment. The other reason is a girlish figure would be better than a figure like yours. Why do you think I try to change my looks so much? How did you know about where we were anyways?"
"My friend helped me out. I think you've met, after all he almost killed your wife. His name is Apocolypse."
"Enough." Kenshin was getting agrier at the sound of his voice. "Lets end this."
"Right." They started running, again, torwards each other. It was if they were both ignoring me in horrible pain. Of course they had other things to worry about. I do remember thinking they were both jerks at the time though. After a few more screaming contractions and more pushing I heard a baby cry.
Sano quickly wrapped up my baby in his shirt, which was the only thing we could get at the time. We tried hard to get my baby to stop crying. The name just came to me as I was soothing him, "Kenji, please hush, sleep my child." It didn't work, Kenshin was distracted, and this time it was only him.
Kenshin was taken off guard when he was suddenly stabbed in the stomach. "Kenshin!" I screamed, hearing his agonizing yell. I was suddenly able to move again. I gave the baby to Megumi and told her to run. "Please! I will be fine. If not then you are my god mother, anyways go now!!" After arguing a little more she finally left, Kenji in her arms. She left me some bandaging for Kenshin though. That was actually a good idea too. He needed it badly.
I was suddenly able to move. So running to Kenshin was my only option. I refused to try to run away. "Kenshin! Kenshin please be okay." I ran to his bloody body, seeing him in the horrible state which made me cry. It was horrible, his side bleeding between his two bottom ribs, his sword slipping out of his hand. He tried to speak, only to be caught in his own pain. "Shh... It's okay Kenshin."
"R-run Kao-ru...Run!" He tried yelling with a scratchy voice, then began to cough, hard enough that he began to bleed, his throat was bleeding and he was coughing it all up. "J-just tell m-me, wha-what is our child's n-n-name?" He gave me his faithful grin and wiped away the tears on my cheeks.
"Kenji." I reached towards the bandages and began wrapping him up, even though he wanted me to leave.
"Go Kaoru, you must protect our s-son."
"No. I am not leaving you." I put my finger over his lips, hushing him to complain about my presence. I wrapped up his body which helped stop the bleeding, I had worked fast and I wasn't sure where his father was, almost sure that he had left, injured.
"Please Kaoru, you must leave now." Tears were streaming down his face now. I looked back to make sure that Megumi and Sano had left with Kenji and Tsubame. They had. I turned back to Kenshin, and held him in my arms.
Kenshin was layed back down on the ground, my arms were getting a little tired and the position was hurting him. "I love you Kenshin." I suddenly felt the urge to say that, he just needed me to say that I guess. I just had to tell him again.
"NO!" I heard him scream. I wasn't sure what, all I saw were tears stream down his face, and a sword going through my body.
"You lost son."
(A/N Doesn't that suck??)
