Author's note: I don't know if this is a Kaoru/Kenshin fic anywmore! Well,
honestly, I prefer battousai rather than rurouni but some people prefer the
rurouni. Oh well..
Chapter 5
~~~~~~~~~~
Kaoru just kept silent. Koshijiro then asked her with demanding tone in it, "Who hurt you, myojin-san?"
Kaoru then replied in a soft tone, "Battousai.."
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Koshijiro was shocked. He stuttered, "Batt.. Battou.. Battousai.. How.."
Kaoru just kept her head low. But then, she felt a strong hand grasped the neckline of her kimono tightly. Koshijiro shouted, "Who are you?!! You went out late at night wearing black costume and you fought with Battousai!! Tell me the truth or I'll kill you!"
Kaoru couldn't hold her tears no more. Her own father threatened to kill her. What's worse than that? She just cried. "Daddy.. Don't do this to me.. Daddy.."
Koshijiro was taken back by this. Then he remembered that she said that he looked like her dead father. His heart softened a bit, even he didn't know why. He asked Kaoru more softly, "Who are you?" He released her Kimono slowly.
"Please stop asking me. I just can't tell you. But I promise you this, I am not in any bad or evil side. I will never harm your or Kaoru's safety.. Because.. Because I really like both of you..," Kaoru sobbed.
Koshijiro saw honesty in Kaoru's eyes. He just knew he could trust her. What is it about her that makes him trust her? Maybe because of her sapphire eyes and her beautiful long raven hair and her naïve look.. 'Just like Kao-chan..'
Koshijiro stood up and said, "Kao-chan wants to go shopping with you. Just don't be late for dinner." With that, he left.
Kaoru smiled weakly and whispered, " Arigato, daddy"
************
Kaoru and little Kaoru walked happily and they bought so many things. Little Kaoru was so energetic that day. And after the shopping, little kaoru proposed to go to the cemetery. Kaoru just smile. She knew little kaoru was hoping to meet Soujiro again.
Then realization hit Kaoru. 'Little kaoru IS me. That means.. I like soujiro?! How can I let this happen? But.. It's not as if I'm gonna be with Kenshin. Ahhh!!'
But little Kaoru sighed with disappointment when they went back from visiting the grave. There was no Soujiro. On their way back home, Kaoru was busy cheering up little kaoru when she suddenly bumped into a person.
"Sorry..," Kaoru bowed her head and apologized.
"Hmm.. Watch where you're going," said a low voice with no emotion in it.
Kaoru looked up and saw who he was. And to her surprise, it was..
************
Battousai was still searching for the girl. Well, when he didn't have any assignment. But he never mention about her in front of Tomoe, and she did the same.
The girl didn't come the next night after the incident. Battousai thought maybe because of her injury or maybe because she was afraid to come again. 'Maybe both..' he thought.
Tomoe was cooking in the kitchen and she was more quiet since that night. Battousai stood up and walked to her.
"Tomoe, do you know who the girl is?" Battousai asked.
"I don't know. Why do you ask? She probably won't come again," Tomoe replied.
Battousai didn't believe Tomoe when she said she didn't know who the girl is. How could she let a stranger into their house TWICE? But, Battousai just nodded and went back to his bedroom.
************
Kaoru was incredibly shocked. It was Saitoh. And he was with someone shorter. He looked like he was 16 or 17 years old. But she snapped back when she heard Saitoh asked, "What are you staring at kid?"
"Urmm.. I'm really sorry Sai.. aahhh..," Kaoru kicked herself mentally. She nearly called out his name.
"Yeah yeah.. You already said that. I do have ears, raccoon girl," Saitoh said sarcastically.
Kaoru could feel her anger rising up. Saitoh just smirked as he could feel her ki became stronger.
"Raccoon girl?! How dare you call me that? You annoying, sarcastic thin man!" Kaoru yelled.
"Oh.. So Raccoon girl is mad, I see," Saitoh uttered.
Steam could be seen coming out of her head and she could feel her blood boiling. Her ki was now really scary. Saitoh had to admit, it was amazingly strong for a girl and now he knew, not to mess up with her.
"You..," Kaoru clenched her fist.
"Ahahaha.. We don't have to fight. I'm really sorry miss, for my friend's misbehaviour," the boy apologized.
"Yeah! You should be!" Kaoru exclaimed, still glaring at Saitoh.
"But I had to admit, your ki is surprisingly strong for a woman. May I know your name miss?" the boy said with a smile.
Kaoru blinked and felt herself calming down when she saw his smile. She smiled weakly at him, "Thank you. My name is Myojin Saori."
"Or raccoon girl," Saitoh added.
"Saitoh! I'm so sorry again miss.. By the way, my name is Okita. Nice to meet you, Myojin-san," the boy stated.
"Ah.. Nice to meet you too, Okita-san," Kaoru said, blushing. Little Kaoru who saw this smiled and said loudly and innocently, "Are Okita-niichan and Saori-neechan lovers?"
Kaoru blushed madly while Okita just smile shyly and Saitoh grinned. "Urmm.. We have to go now. Hope to meet you again," Kaoru said, still blushing.
"Aahh.. Ja, Myojin-san," Okita spoke still with a smile.
Kaoru then left with little kaoru. Okita kept looking at the beauty until she was gone. Saitoh elbowed Okita but Okita just rolled his eyes. Soon after, they left for their 'assignment'.
************
Little Kaoru was taking a nap on Kaoru's bedroom while Koshijiro was cooking. Kaoru kept apologizing when she told him she cannot help with cooking. Koshijiro just nodded in understanding.
"Myojin-san, can you buy us some taufu?" Koshijiro asked.
"Sure. I'll go now," Kaoru then walked out of the house.
She bought taufu and was walking back to her house when suddenly, 4 drunk men circling around her.
"Hey cutie. What are you doing here.. *burp* alone?" said the first one who had a moustache.
Kaoru kicked his *tut tut* and started to run but then the second guy grabbed her hand and pinned her to the ground.
"You bitch! But never mind, let's just have fun," said the third one. All the 4 men giggled and one of them started to kiss Kaoru's face and neck while the others waited for their turn. Kaoru tried to kick and punch but the man held her hand tightly.
Kaoru cried and shouted for help. Then suddenly, the man let go of her and screamed in pain. Kaoru sat up and held her kimono tightly. All the drunken man seemed to be getting ready to fight. Then she saw a tall and VERY gorgeous man with two boys next to him.
Kaoru was utterly shocked when she saw the two boys. She knew them! One was Sanosuke and one was Katsu. Then.. this man may be Sanosuke's idol, captain sagara!
Then after a few seconds, Kaoru saw all the 4 men laid unconscious on the ground. The boys then came towards Kaoru.
"Are you alright, miss?" said little Sanosuke.
"Sano..," Kaoru whispered. 'Oh shit! This is the second time of the day! Now what?' Kaoru thought.
Sanosuke appeared to be really stunned murmured, "How.. how do you know my name?"
Kaoru just kept quiet and smiled weakly. Sanosuke was really cute when he was a kid. When sanosuke saw her smile, he momentarily forgot about his question. Then the man held out his hand and Kaoru shyly took his hand and stood up.
The man smiled and said, "Miss, you shouldn't be walking alone at night."
Kaoru was really astonished by his gorgeousness. She stuttered, "I'm sorry.. I was buying taufu. I.. Thank you very much. I don't know how to pay you back."
"You don't have to. Ah, I'm sorry for being rude. I'm Sagara and this is Sanosuke and this is Katsu," he mentioned by pointing to each one of them, "What's your name?"
Kaoru hesitated on telling her name. She really wanted to tell him her real name. "My name.. my name.. Myojin Saori," she muttered.
"Well Myojin-san, I really think you should go home now. Or else, your family will be worried. Be careful," he said.
"I really hope to meet you again," Kaoru said unconsciously.
Sagara just smile and said, "I would love to meet you again too."
Kaoru realized that she had said it all aloud, she blushed and started to walk off very quickly. Sagara walked away with Sanosuke and Katsu after she had left. But what he didn't know was, Sanosuke and Katsu were planning to matchmake him and Kaoru.
*************
Kaoru laid down on her futon. She remembered back all the people she had met today. Saitoh, Okita, Sanosuke, Katsu and captain Sagara.
She had the chance to meet Captain Sagara who Sano always talked about and Okita who Kenshin once mentioned to her to be the only guy Saitoh respects but he died because of some sickness.
Kaoru then thought of Kenshin. 'I wonder what Kenshin is doing right now. Maybe he's having a good time with Tomoe.' She could feel sadness welled up her heart. 'Kenshin..'
Then she heard a loud thump. She went out of her room and began searching for the source of the sound. She went to the back of the house and saw blood.. It was Koshijiro's..
~~~~~~~~~~~~
HoNeyZ_RiNoA: Hey guyz! Is this chappie interesting or not? Captain Sagara and Okita appeared! I like them both as much as I like Kenshin. And I really LOVE Captain Sagara.. He's soooo hot! Anywayz.. I don't know who's Kaoru gonna end up with.. Please Review! Ja~ v(^o^)v
