Saito stood outside of the clinic, smoking a cigarette. He had been kicked out by Megumi and Gensai.
"Hajime, Sir!" one of the 59 elite, Saito's private regime, yelled as he raced toward him.
"Houshi, What is it?" The mibu wolf asked, tilting his head.
"The man, Gemni, he was a general in the war. He was an assasin in the war." the man said, catching his breath.
"Are you sure?" Saito demanded, looking warily at the door.
"Hai."
"Go back to base, tell noone of this." Saito said, walking into the clinic, tossing his cigarrette onto the ground.

Kaoru looked from face to face, each wore a grim expression of mixed worry and anxt.
"What is it?" she asked, Saito had just come in.
"Gemni, He was an assasin for the imperial army. I think one of the last." He said, staring at kenshin.
"What?" Yahiko demanded.
"Kenshin, have you ever heard of this guy?" Sanouske asked, confused.
"No. I have not." Kenshin said, his brows drawing together in thought.
"Kaoru?" Megumi was asking her, searching the girl's eyes.
"I have to go." She said, pushing Kenshin away.
Kaoru stood and walked out into the harsh sunlight.
She raced away from the clinic, her breath coming in sharp pants.
She had to get away.
She had seen what Gemni was able to do. Long ago, when she was little.
She had been saved by him, once.

Flashback888
"Run!" The teen yelled at her, he was fighting big men.
They had tried to attack her, they had tried to take her.
She stood there, watching as they ganged up on her savior.
she jumped in to save him, Slashing and kicking at the men to save them both.
She didn't realize she was hurt until they had gotten home.
She had collapsed on the floor.
When she woke, she was bandaged and in her bed.
She stared at the boy that had saved her, and she had saved him.
"What's your name?" Kaoru asked, tilting her head curiously.
"Gemni." He said, "What's yours?"
"Kaoru."
She was eight.
End flashback

Kaoru collapsed against the wall.
Her heart was beating in her ears.
Like a wild drum, drowning out all other sound as it began to rain.
Large drops cold as ice to fall upon her head and to drip onto her lap.
She stared at her hands in her lap, the rain was like a veil dripping from her hair to mix with her tears.
This was her fight.
She had to do this.
Her dreams would come true if she didn't do this.

Kenshin stood, dumbfounded as he watched the woman he cared about run out the door.
He snapped himself out of it.
He raced out into the crowded street.
She was gone.
He walked through the streets searching for her.
He walked as the skies darkened with heavy clouds and the heavens burst and began to cry.
He shouted her name as he walked.
He knew what she was feeling.
Kenshin stared into alleys, searching for any sign of the raven haired woman.
"Kaoru!" he shouted her name again.
She was gone.
