Chapter 10 ~
**********
The doctor arrived a few minutes later in a rush. Misao lead the doctor into the emperor's chamber hurriedly. The doctor placed his equipment down and rushed to bow to the emperor.
He was sitting on the bed and wrapped tightly in his arms were Kaoru. As usual , a golden thread were placed around Kaoru's wrist and the other end of the thread were given to the doctor by Misao.
It was the rule of the palace that no man are allowed to touch the emperor's mistress. The emperor's bed were shielded with half seen through white cloth.
The doctor read her pulse with the golden thread outside the bed curtain.
"How is she?," Kenshin ask in a low tone as he glanced at the frowning doctor.
"Your Highness , the lady's body was very weak. May I know what have she eaten?," the doctor ask with a slight bow.
"She was drugged," he replied with gritted teeth.
"Your Highness , she'll be fine by a week time as long as she gets her rest but....," he trailed off.
"Go on,"he urged impatiently.
"There'll be some side effect from the drug," the doctor replied.
"Just continue on," Kenshin growled as Kaoru winced a little at his tone.
"The lady will probably have some nightmares," he replied.
Kenshin nodded and the doctor were dismissed.
"Kenshin , I wanna take a bath," Kaoru pleaded.
"No. You're ill," he replied sternly.
"I want to.....I feel dirty," she explained as she look away.
He sighed as he ordered Misao to prepare her a bath.
**********
The bath was prepared in a big tub in Kenshin's chamber.
"Kenshin how am I supposed to take my bath here?," Kaoru said with a frown.
"I'll stay behind the screen," he replied as he led her towards the tub.
"But...," she protested as she sat at the tub's side.
"That's final or do you prefer that I stay and wash your back?," he asked with a grin.
Kaoru blushed as red as his hair as she started throwing things at him.
He avoided them all and rushed towards the other side of the screen while she started undressing.
"That baka," she muttered as she got into the hot water.
**********
During midnight ,
Kenshin awoke when he felt Kaoru grip onto his shirt a little too tightly. He looked down onto her twisting form.
She was having her nightmares. Her face were full of sweats while she kept muttering thigns that he doesn't understand.
'Don't'
He tried to wake her up but in vain.
'Please no'
He shook her a little harder but still she remain deep in sleep.
'Don't touch me'
His eyes turned amber when he realized what her nightmares were.
'Yazawa why , why did you do that to me?'
His eyes open wide in shock. She wasn't dreaming about the earlier incident.
'I thought you were my friend how could you betrayed me?'
She continue twisting and turning in her sleep.
"Kaoru please wake up," Kenshin pleaded.
Tears were pouring down her cheeks as she kept muttering words.
Suddenly , as if the Sapphire and Amethyst pendant heard his plead , it glowed brightly on both their neck. Visions started to appeared in his mind as he shut his eyes tight.
He was in a weird building. Everywhere were white. As he kept walking , he make out two figures. There were a younger Kaoru probably around two years ago with a guy around her age.
'How could you do that to me I thought we were friends' Kaoru yelled.
'Friends? It was all a bet' the guy replied.
'Why' she whispered as tears fell from her eyes.
He smirked and suddenly , without her noticing she was pinned to the wall. Her wrist were in his tight grip.
'What are you doing?' she asked with fear in her tone.
'It was also part of the bet' he replied as he started tearing her clothes.
Seeing this , Kenshin started running towards them but was blocked by an invisible wall. He punched helplessly on the wall trying to save her.
'No don't' she pleaded.
Kenshin had never felt this helpless before. How he hated himself for it. Tears were pouring down her cheeks endlessly yet he was standing here being able to do nothing.
'Hey what do you think you're doing?' a male voice was heard and he quickly snapped his head up.
There was a man around 40 holding a torchlight.
'Nothing we were just playing' the guy replied as he let go off Kaoru who sink to the ground still crying.
'It doesn't seem like a game to me' the man said as he glared at him.
The guy simply smile nervously and ran away leaving them both.
Kenshin sighed in relief at least she was safe now. Then in a flash of light , he was in a different place. It was crowded with girls and guys that wore similar clothes.
"It must be her school," he thought inwardly.
Then , Kaoru appeared walking alone along the corridor with head bowed.
'Looks that's the girl who seduce Yazawa-kun'
'Oh my how could she be so shameless'
'They said , if it wasn't because the school guard came , she would have already stripped herself in front of him'
'I didn't,' Kaoru yelled angrily as she started running away from them all.
Then the bright light disappeared and when Kenshin opened his eyes , he was back in his own chamber with Kaoru sleeping in his arms.
"It must be her past," he thought inwardly as he stared at Kaoru who was already stopped twisting in her sleep.
