"Kenshin...."Kaoru stared blankly at the blade pointed directly at her.

"What!" Kenshin barked, while walking closer to her, Kaoru started to back up until she was against the alley wall.

"Ken-shin...what are you doing?" She said as he took one more step closer so that now the sword was in distance of her.

"What does it look?" Kenshin said as he grabbed her forarm and pulled her back toward him. He raised his sword and cut the rope off her arms. (A/N: ha ha fooled you making a false climax!) Kaoru sighed. "What did you think that I would kill you?"

"I don't know..." Kaoru said while starting to walk out of the alley stepping over the bodies spread across the ground.

"But by the way that you kissed that other girl I assumed that you wouldn't want me anymore-" Kaoru started but didn't get the chance as Kenshin grabbed her wrist and pulled her toward him.

"Kaoru, about that I think that you should know the truth about....." Kenshin started.

"about?" Kaoru questioned.

"About my cross-shaped scar." Kenshin decided that an alley wouldn't be the best place to discuss this so he picked Kaoru up bridle stile and carried her off to a nearby lake and set her down next to a tree and sat down next to her. "Sorry bout that but I thought that this would be a better place to discuss this." Kaoru understood and let him finish. "Well......(Kenshin tells her the whole story but I don't feel like writing it all (hey in the reflections they even don't say it!))"

"oh Kenshin! I can't believe that you went through all of that!" Kaoru started but then she remembered his kiss with that girl. "But what about that kiss?"

"That girl...she looked exactly like Tomoe, I could even smell the white plum perfume..." Kenshin started while remember Tomoe, tears started to pour down his face. "But I know that that wasn't her, It couldn't it? Kaoru?"

Kaoru couldn't get over this, was he still in love with her, "Kenshin are you in love with Tomoe still, or do you love me?"

"I...I..."Kenshin couldn't put his feelings into words so he leened toward Kaoru and pressed his lips against hers.

"Ken-" was all that Kaoru could say before Kenshin was pressing his lips so hard against hers that she couldn't talk. He licked her bottom lip asking for entrence Kaoru just did the first think that came to her mind and opened her mouth and at once Kenshin had his tongue in her mouth. Kaoru couldn't take the thought that he had already done this to one women and still loved that same women, but because she was dead he did this to her, or so she thought, Kaoru did the first thing she could think of and bit down as hard as she could on Kenshin's tongue. She tasted Kenshin's blood.

"AHHH! Wench, what was that for!" Battousai yelled and took over Kenshin and then looked at her.

Kaoru couldn't believe her ears, wench? Was that all she was worth to him, she turned and ran as hard as she could away from Kenshin. Kenshin just stood there shocked and stared at her.

'Feh! Serves her right! I hope she dies and burns in He-' Battousai said.

'Don't talk about Kaoru-dono like that!' Rurouni but in.

Somewhere else!

"How could you mess up!" Enishi screamed at the woman that sat in front of him.

"I'm sorry Enishi-sama!" she screamed trying to hold back her tears, she had already messed up and one more time could cost her her life, but he needed her. A man in black ran up to the man with white hair and handed him a letter.

"It's okay Shizuki-chan" Enishi said while he read the letter, when finished he smirked, "It looks like the Battousai got rid of that girl so now it should be easier for you to lour him to his death!" Enishi said.

Shizuki walked out the door, but before she left she walked up to a mirror in the small room, next to it there was a small drawing of Tomoe. She picked up the mirror and did her hair and make up until she looked like the girl in the drawing.
