Konnichiwa!! Welcome to another installment of 'When There's Darkness There's Light'!!

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, if I did I'd be in a studio right now....

I'll try to make the chapters longer, but no promises because I easily run out of ideas......x

---------------------------------------

Your separation from me is my breaking,

Thus I am to drift further into the realm you call insanity

For I am to be alone

Forever

How long has it been? Searching for her.

Kaoru.

I'm slowly losing my sanity, yet again.

I want to see you again.

Kaoru

I want to hold you.

Kaoru

I want to protect you.

Kaoru

I need you.

Kaoru

I love you.

Kaoru

It was the darkest night Kyoto ever had. The bloodiest. The Ishin-shishi had a kill tonight, along with Kenshin they assassinated one of Kyoto's richest politicians Hajime, Saito, leader of the Shinsen-gumi.

His whole body was stained with blood. But it didn't matter. He was doing it all for her. All for her.

He was exhausted. Tired from all of the killing he has been doing.Very few returned that night. Almost all injured form the ambush. He needed to rest.

As he entered his room he took all of his clothes and went directly to the furo to wash all of the bloodstaines from his body. But he knows that nothing can cleanse him of the sins he has committed. The things he has done can never be undone. But it was all for her. Almost every night the faces of those he has killed haunted him.

After washing he wrapped himself in a plain white yukata making a beeline for his quarters. The legendary assassin then surrendered himself to sleep. Haunted by the faces of the people he killed.

--------------------------------------

It was early in the morning and Kenshin went out to stroll in the Kyoto market. Dazed, he never saw that he was about to crash into someone. And this someone would again renew his sanity.

CRASH!!

"I'm so sorry sir!" An all to familiar blue-eyed girl said as she stared into his eyes.

"K-Kaoru"

"There she is!! Get her!!" A big muscular man shouted to his other comrades.

Quickly standing up the girl tried to run but was caught by the men by her hair.

"I-itai!! Please let me go. Please, I don't want to live there please I beg of you!!" The girl said tears pouring out of her eyes.

"No siree missy, you belong to us rememeber. We need your abilities." The man said dragging Kaoru by her hair but was immediately knocked unconscious by Kenshin who stood enraged.

"What the hell!! You wanna mess with us boy?!" A comrade said.

Panting, the assassin stood up, "Yes."

Battousai spoke with pure venom. Enough to send shivers through the men.

"Shit! He's Battousai!! RUN!!!" Shouted the men as they ran away

"Kaoru are you ok?" Kenshin said leaning forward to help Kaoru stand.

"H-how do you know my name?" Then realization hit her. "K-Kenshin? Is it you?! Is it really you?!" Kaoru said fighting the burning behind her eyes.

Kenshin's eyes softened, "Hai."

Kenshin drew Kaoru into a bone-crushing embrace.

I found you. I finally found you.
