Yo guy's hope liked the last ch. I know there were some spelling errors, but hey I wrote in like ten minutes. All disclaimers apply. On with the story

'It's pouring out and all I can smell is rain. It's dark out even though it's still day out. He's going to pay for what he did that man who dared to harm such innocent angel. True that kaoru is a very strong and independent woman, everyone thinks so. For some reason though I see her in my own eyes as fragile, almost as if she would break if handled roughly. She once told me that out of the two of us she thought that I was the strong one, that she depended on my strength. It's not true though she's the strong one and I need her. I'm afraid that one I'll wake up and I won't be next to her, that one I'll wake up and discover that she never really loved me, that I just dreamed her up in one of my crazy dreams out of loneliness, of being a ruouni.'

Kenshin approached the local gambling house, ready to serve justice. "Hey Kenshin buddy help me with this game of dice." One of Sano friends called out. When Kenshin turned to answer the call he saw him sitting in the far corner of the room smoking a cigarette and observing the game. He was enraged; all he could see was red. Drawing his reverse blade he approached him in almost calm pace.

"Stand."

"Excuse me."

"I said Stand, and prepare to fight."

"Who do you think you, commanding me like that." he stood in an almost drunken haze.

"I am the Battousai, and you my dear sir have dared to harm my wife. And no one is aloud to harm let alone touch her, understood?" kenshin's eyes were burning, glowing a fiery amber. 'he'll be punished for this, pay for the pain he inflicted upon her, he'll die!'

"The Battousai, you mean to tell me that that little arrogant girl is your woman, it's almost laughable."

"Laugh if you want then but she is my woman and you ......will pay for your crimes."

'She might hate when all this is over, but she needs understand that I lose her .....Oh Kami-Sama I can't lose her.........'
