Kenshin dreamed as he slept. His dream started out perfect. Kenshin, Kaoru, and Kenji were all happily spending time together at the dojo. It could not been better. But when Kenshin turned his back for one second he heard an echoing scream behind him. He turned around in a flash to see Kaoru, a knife stuck through her heart, and Kenji no where to be found.
He ran to Kaoru's side and held her in his arms. He couldn't believe his eyes. Blood seeped out of her body and she looked up at him tears in her eyes. She reached out a crimson hand and traced the edges of his scar. She did not say anything, just simply stared up at him, as though her death wasn't even comprehendible to her. Then she coughed and blood trickled out of her mouth, leaving a small trail that ran down her face. Then she smiled up at him through her blood and tears, her life fading away in an instant till her eyes became dim. No longer were they filled with the love and life that he had seen every day, that he longed to see in her eyes every day. There was nothing left of his beloved, but an empty shell. Her soul, her beauty was lost to the world forever. He started to cry out. He cried out with all his terrible sadness, all his terrible rage at the world. He screamed out his anguish, his hands trembling with his misery, his terrible grief. He clung tighter to her empty body, his whole body shaking as he wept.
"Why!! Why!!" he screamed to the skies as he slowly dropped his Kaoru to the ground. Then he turned in his anguish, frantic to find his son. To his dismay he followed a small trail of blood out of the house and out into the yard. With all his speed he ran till he reached Kenji's cold body that lay in a bloody heap on the ground. He tenderly picked up the baby and started to walk aimlessly out of the dojo only to find more death. They were all dead, Sano, Megumi, Yahiko, Ayame, Sazume, Dr. Gensai. The bodies of all his friends, all his enemies even lay sprawled on the streets. His heart beat painfully at this sight. Then his eyes widened and he collapsed onto the floor when he realized the awful truth. He had done all this. He had killed everyone. He sobbed, pounding his fists into the ground.
"It's not supposed to be like this!!!!!!! Someone stop it!!!......Someone stop it!!!!!!!!" he screamed. He could hear Kenji crying and Kaoru's anguished screams in his head as he looked at there dead bodies.
Kaoru watched Kenshin as he slept. At first he looked so contented, so happy, but then his expression turned to one of anguish. He started to shake a little, tremble in his sleep. She was starting to get frightened when he suddenly cried out. She couldn't stand it any longer, she shook him lightly, then harder till he woke.
Kenshin slowly opened his eyes to see Kaoru's face above him. His heart skipped painfully as he remembered his horrible nightmare.
"What's wrong Kenshin?" She said worriedly.
Kenshin buried his head in his hands, his whole body shaking. "I dreamed that I lost you, Kaoru. I dreamed that I had lost all of you."
"I'm right here Kenshin and so is Kenji, so don't worry." She said as she placed a hand on his head.
Kaoru was surprised to see tears on his face when he looked at her. She brushed them away softly and kissed him on the forehead. Then suddenly he remembered something.
"What happened to Kouji?" Kenshin asked the fear in his heart rising.
"Don't worry, he was taken care of. The police came and took him away just a little while ago. He's not going to be released again, Kenshin. So don't worry about it." Kaoru said comfortingly wondering why Kenshin was so worried now.
Life at the dojo continued though it was more hectic than usual. Kenshin and Kaoru spent most of their time taking care of Kenji. Yahiko was extremely bored. Kaoru barely had any time to give him lessons. In truth he actually missed her training sessions, even if they were pretty hard on him. On one such evening, with nothing to do he approached Kenshin.
"I'm going for a visit to the Akabeko." He said gruffly before turning to leave.
Kenshin smiled after him. "Going to visit Tsubame again?"
"No!" He protested, even though it was a lie. He thought maybe Tsubame would have some advice for him, and plus, he really wanted to see her again.
