-------------------------------------
Love is blind, and lovers cannot see
The pretty follies that they themselves commit;
For if they could, Cupid himself would blush.
Jessica ( Merchant of Venice by W. Shakespeare)
'I found her. I finally found her.' That was all that Kenshin could think about as he carried Kaoru bridal-style to the Ishin-shishi camp. She had fainted after she had realized that he was Kenshin. Again, Kenshin's blood began to boil, 'Those who hurt her will die by my hand. But that was something to worry about next time, right now; he had Kaoru to worry about.
It has been so long since he had seen her and he was thankful to the gods that she was now safe with him. This time he would protect her, using the sword technique that her father, Hiko taught him. He would keep her safe; shelter her from the harshness of the world. This time he would not let her go.
As he arrived at the Ishin-shishi headquarters he went straight to the clinic, glaring daggers at men who shot Kaoru a lustful glance. If looks can kill, the men would have already been dead. She was his and no one else's.
"Genzai-sensei," Kenshin addressed the doctor.
"Ah Battousai-san, who is this young woman?"
Kenshin gritted his teeth out loud. "None of your business old man. Now, is there anything wrong with her? Does she have injuries?"
Genzai-sensei then on proceeded on examining Kaoru's body.
"Young man, where did you find her?" Genzai-sensei asked, somewhat incredulously.
Kenshin narrowed his eyes, "Why?"
"Well she has numerous bruises, some burns that I hardly think were accidental, and she also has some broken ribs. It seems that she suffered abuse." The doctor said.
"I do not know," Kenshin said through knotted brows. 'I am going to give those bastards a slow painful death, if I ever come across them. I'll cut there body parts piece by piece and – "The assassin's thoughts were cut short.
"I'll give you some ointments to put on her bruises and when she wakes up she'll need your help in standing up and things that might strain her ribs." Genzai-sensei said as he began to wrap bandages around Kaoru's ribs and dab some ointment on her bruises.
"Battousai-san you can transfer her now to your quarters so she can rest."
"Hai." Kenshin said impassively.
----------------------------------------
Kaoru woke up to the feeling of someone stroking her hand.
"You're awake. Thank god." Kenshin said his grip on Kaoru's hand tightening.
Kaoru cupped Kenshin's face between her hands,"Kenshin is that really you? Am I dreaming? Is this real?" Kaoru said tears pouring out of her eyes. "Is it really you?"
Somehow she couldn't believe that she's really free and safe in Kenshin's arms.
"Hai, I found you Kaoru, I finally found you." Kenshin said wiping the tears from her eyes.
Kaoru threw herself on Kenshin, sobbing. "Oh Kenshin, I thought you forgot about me. I thought that you would never find me."
"I missed you, Kaoru, I missed you so much." Kenshin laid Kaoru on the bed stroking her soft ebony tresses.
"Go ahead Kaoru; cry as much as you want. Pour your heart out."
And so she cried herself to sleep with Kenshin whispering comforting words to her ear.
"I promise Kaoru that I'll protect you with my life." Kenshin vowed silently. "Whoever hurts you will die a slow and painful death. This I promise you."
With one more glance at Kaoru, the assassin stood up and slid the shoji door closed. anger flaring.
----------------------------------------
'They'll pay for what they did to you Kaoru. I will give them a slow and painful death, and even the gods cannot stop me." They can kiss their sorry asses goodbye.' Kenshin murmured crouching into his battou-jutsu stance, getting ready to attack the base of Kaoru's former captors.
They will pay...........
"Kuso! We got into trouble again for losing that chick, Kaoru."
"Don't worry we'll steal that girl back from - " The man was cut short as he saw Battousai, eyes flaring golden amber.
"Well, well, well. Speak of the devil. We want the chick back Battousai."
"In your dreams, asshole" The assassin said, venom lacing his words.
"What do you want then Battousai? You already have the chick."
The assassin fingered the hilt of his katana as he stood staright, "What I want from you is very simple,"
"Oh yeah?! What's that?!" Genji said, his voice shaking in anger.
Kenshin gritted his teeth. "Revenge."
Kenshin again sunk into his Battou-jutsu stance
"Bring it on." Genji said as he and his companion charged.
"What the – "Genji said as Battousai disappeared in front of their eyes.
Last thing they saw were a pair of Furious golden eyes..........And then there was darkness........
---------------------------------------
Kenshin arrived in the Ishin-shishi drenched in blood.
He went to his quarters and checked up on Kaoru.
'Beautiful.'
Kenshin's hand hovered over Kaoru's form but withdrew his hands immediately when he saw his hands covered in blood.
'She must never be tainted with blood, she's too pure to be stained by my hands drenched in blood.'
Kenshin gathered all of his things and went straight to the furo.
After cleansing his body, Kenshin went back to his quarters and slipped under the covers with Kaoru.
"Hmm, Kenshin." Kaoru said as she snuggled further into Kenshin's warmth.
Kenshin chuckled at her childish antics and kissed her goodnight on the forehead.
That night was the first night in ten years that Kenshin was able to sleep dreamlessly.
