Chapter Twelve – A pair of two
-
The dojo was all set up, with Kaoru's grumblings and Yahiko's yelling polluting the whole dojo. Kaoru gave a cold glare to Yahiko, while he retorted by glaring back, making them both seeing red. "You... little squirt!" Kaoru scolded, while Yahiko had dirtied the whole porch with dead leaves and mud that he was susposed to be cleaning up.
Yahiko poked a tongue out at her, and out of the dojo, giving her one last stink eye. "Busu!" he yelled, "I'll be buying the tofu!" he added on, laughing at his cousin who was stomping her foot in a state of anger.
Kaoru looked upon Yahiko leaving figure, her face flushing a deep shade of red, in both anger and sickness. Her head felt dizzy and the world was spinning. Heaving a sigh, she clutched the broom and trudged her feet to the nearby ash tree, and sat down, leaning onto the trunk. The broom collasped onto the ground, and her head aches, like burning embers.
[Flashback]
"I... Kenshin! Please!" she was yelling to a man, whom face was hidden deep in the shadows. She reached out her hands, wanting to reach for the man, but to no avail, as the man seems to be drifting far away.
"Please Kenshin! Please don't leave me!" she yelled again, feeling the pain the was stuck in her heart. There was she, consumed by darkness, crumpling to the ground.
[End of Flashback]
She clutched her head tight, as the memories came flushing through her like tides, hitting the shore. She closed her eyes, wanting to stop the pain that was always throbbing in a corner of her head.
Unconsciously, she fell asleep by the gentle moving air the caressed her like a child.
Soon, a few taps came from the door. "Coming!" she said, her face pale. She reached the door and opened it, to be faced by a bruised Yahiko and a man. Her face was red and feverishly, she looked up to the man but her vision was blurred.
"Ken...shin?" she murmured weakly, only to be fallen into the arms of the man, and hearing the distant cries from Yahiko.

A/N: Actually, this last chapter was written long long ago, but I still think that it is far too short. I tried to lenghten it, but to no avail. Sorry about that minna-chan, you guys will STILL have to wait for the sequel, which more parts of AM and KK will be shown. Thankee!
Now, proceed to Flying High an AU KK fanfiction! Lol!

Love,
Uenki.
