A nightmare realized, and Kaoru is Engaged?!
Before you cuss at me, let's get this strait, i am a big fan of certain pairings, but i am strictly KK in this one.
Okay, now that i have said my bit, let's get to the story.
---
The streets were silent.
Nothing could be heard except for the sound of dance music coming from the closed door.
Suddenly the door bursts open, spilling the noise out into the darkness and seven people half stumbled out into the streets.
"Kaoru, what's that?" Sano asked, his voice slurred as he pointed to the wrapped package.
Aoushi, who just happened to be the most sober of the seven, bent down to examine it.
"It appears to be a package for miss Kamiya." He said, his voice holding a slight slur of it's own.
"Ooooh! Gimme!" Kaoru said, holding out her free arm for the package.
Aoushi immediately sobered completely, as well as the mibu wolf.
"Kaoru, who is Gemni?"
"I dunno." She said, scratching her head.
She grabbed the package and started opening it.
When the last of the papers came off, she opened the lid on the wooden box and peered inside.
"Oooh, pretty!" she said, pulling the music box out.
It was of a dragon curled around a pearl, with the kanji for Life and Love embedded on it.
"Busu has a boyfriend!" Yahiko said, laughing.
"Dont call me Busu you little brat!" Kaoru said, and chased the boy, weilding her bokken.
"What do you think it is?" Sano asked Kenshin, who had both become sober as well.
"We'll find out soon." he said, looking at the date inscribed onto the bottom.
It was for tomorrow.
"Come on, we need to get home."
---
Gemni watched the little group gather around the package he had lain so expertly there.
When they dispersed, he followed them, back to the kamiya dojo.
He sat in a tree, watching through Kaoru's window as she undressed and slipped into her Yukata.
"Soon." he said to the wind, "Soon."
--
Kaoru woke with a splitting headache.
She turned away from the light spilling in from the open window and buried her head under the covers.
"Kaoru-dono? Here, take this." Kenshin was standing over her.
"What is it?" she asked, warily eyeing the powder.
"It is something Sano gave me, it will kill the hangover effects." he said, blushing slightly.
She grabbed it and downed a little.
Half an hour later, she was sitting at the breakfast table with the others.
The center-peice of the table, today, though, was the music box from last night.
She stared at it, examining the intricate details carved by skilled hands.
"Where do you think it came from?" She asked, her brows coming together.
"I don't know, but it had today's date on it."
"Then..."
"I suppose so."
"I have to go into town, and i think you all should accompany me." Saito said, standing.
They all rose and went to get ready.
--
Thirty minutes later as they walked through town.
Kaoru and Kenshin were close, as well as Sano and megumi.
The Kenshin-gumi was confronted from all around, when a group of about thirty samurai surrounded them.
Kenshin snarled, his eyes bleeding golden as the mibu wolf drew his sword.
Aoushi stood motionless, one hand on the hilt of his katana, and Sanouske cracked his nuckles.
Yahiko and Kaoru weilding their bokken easily, stood with the others.
Megumi was pushed behind Sanouske by a rough hand.
"Stay." sano said over his shoulder.
A few of the men surrounding them moved aside and a man dressed in flaming red stepped in front of them.
"Kamiya Kaoru, You accepted my gift, no?" he asked, his voice gruff.
"Who do you think you are talking to Jou-chan like that you jerk?!" Sanouske yelled, cracking his knuckles.
"My name is Higurashi Gemni, your betrothed, Kamiya Kaoru!" he said, startling the seven before him.
"No! I don't have a betrothed! You are sick!" Kaoru yelled, moving closer to Kenshin.
"You accepted my gift, which means we are engaged. Your stupid whore of a mother gave me to you just before she died, Kamiya. i just had to wait until that stupid father of yours was out of the way!" Gemni said, a smirk on his face.
"You lie!" Kaoru screamed.
"That scar on your back, Kaoru, That is my mark. You can never claim that you are not mine, wench!" Gemni yelled, his eyes wild.
"Kaoru, is this man lying?"
"I...I don't know." She whispered, clutching her chest as she sunk down onto the dirt.
The seven moved around her so that she was near megumi.
"Kaoru, it will be okay." Megumi said, wrapping her arms around the crying woman.
"Aa. I will make sure of that, that i will." then the batthosai turned to the other man, the one that was causing so much pain. "Leave now, she does not want you, that she does not."
"Kaoru, you will be mine, even if i have to remove everything else you love in the process!" with that, Gemni jumped onto a nearby roof and disappeared.
The men that they had nearly forgotten about attacked, then.
Kenshin dodged an attack and flashed through the crowd, just as Saito and Aoushi were.
Sanouske punched out several men and then checked on how the others were doing.
"They just keep coming!" He shouted.
They all heard a scream, and looked toward it's origin in horror.
A samuri had his katana buried in Kaoru's arm, Yahiko unconsious on the ground nearby.
"You will not hurt my deshi, even if he is a snot nosed brat!" Kaoru snarled. the hand that wasn't being used as a sheath for this man's katana clenched into a white fisted ball.
She screamed and wrenched her arm out from the blade and punched the startled man's face in.
She jumped on him when he fell and began pummeling her fists into his face, ignoring the gaping wound on one arm, even as it splashed blood onto her face and everything around them.
Kenshin smelled blood and saw red. He used blows that would kill if his ruroni side hadn't had some amount of control.
they worked their way in, toward the doctor and the vicious Jou-chan.
"Kaoru!" Saito yelled, grabbing her uninjured arm, and was surprised when she shook him off without trying.
Aoushi grabbed her from behind and tried to drag her off of the screaming samurai, but it was useless.
Kenshin grabbed her from behind and pinned her arms to her sides and held her firmly until she stopped struggling and sat there sobbing.
"Kaoru, it will be fine, we'll do something, that we will." He whispered into her ear, even as her blood soaked their kimonos.
She passed out from bloodloss, her face pale.
"Megumi-dono, Please, take care of her." he said, standing to join the others.
Yahiko was dragged over to where Megumi was trying to take care of Kaoru.
"Kaoru-dono, please hold on!" Kenshin called, even as he brought his sakabatou down onto a man's head.
Finally, the endless swarm of samurai ended and the ones left ran off into the alleys.
"Sanouske, go to the police headquarters, there is a man there named Bakura, tell him to bring squadrant fiftey-nine, and to make it fast." Saito said, wiping the blood off of his katana.
Kenshin ran with Kaoru in his arms to the clinic a few blocks away.
"Doctor Gensai! Please, Kaoru's hurt!" he yelled as he ran in.
Gensai stepped from around a sheet and motioned to an empty bed.
Kenshin lay her down and let Gensai take a look at her arm.
"Give me my kit, it's on the table behind there." gensai said, a worried frown creasing his wrinkled face.
--
--
Kaoru woke up gradually, first she could hear, people were talking frantically over her.
"If she doesn't wake soon, she may not wake at all." a woman said.
Kaoru placed that voice with a name, Megumi Takani.
"Jou-chan has to wake up." That was Sanouske.
"Busu had better not die, she still has to teach me swordsmanship." this teary voice belonged to a ten year old Yahiko Meojin.
"Please, wake up, Kaoru-dono." Came another voice, one that made her want to smile and cry at the same time. Kenshin's voice was filled with sadness and worry.
'I'm awake!' she wanted to scream, 'i'm here!'
Then she could feel, She felt pain, sharp blinding pain that made her want to scream, and then she felt a hand in her own, a small, slender, sword calloused hand.
Then she could move.
She groaned and opened her eyes, blinking in the harsh light.
"Kaoru!" they all shouted, making her grimace.
"Quit yelling." she grouched, closing her eyes. "I can hear you well enough."
