----------------------------------------------------------

Kaoru's blood froze. The name echoed throughout her being. Enishi Yukishiro was back, and she knew his every intention. Memories resurfaced and tears sprang in her eyes. Her mother was gone, and it was all because of him.

Kaoru stood and bolted toward the door.

"Ms. Kamiya, please take your seat! Ms. Kamiya?!" The teacher called after her, but his words were only wasted, for her mind was on other things.

She ran to the girls bathroom and propped herself up against the wall. Tears streamed down her face and her mind was in turmoil as was her heart. She didn't know what to do. Did Kenshin know? Was Yahiko safe? Her mind asked thousands of questions a minute.

Kaoru dried her tears, though only for a while they would stay that way. She took out a small pad and a pen and jotted down some words in a teachers handwriting. Kaoru quickly went down the hall to Kenshin's class and knocked on the door. When the teacher came to the door she read the note.

"Oh Dear!. Mr. Himura, you are needed at home urgently. Your grandmother and Ms. Kamiya's grandmother were out shopping and both fell deathly ill. Don't worry about the homework, just make it home safely. I hope your grandparents are alright."

Kenshin looked quizically at Kaoru, all the while feigning sorrow.

Kenshin rushed out the door, grabbing the note to show the the nursery keeper. He saw Kaoru's puffy eyes.

"Kaoru?" He questioned.

Tears again caskaded down her cheeks as she fell into his arms.

"Kenshin...he's..he's back..." She sobbed.

Kenshin could barely understand her and he was thoroughly confused.

"Who's back Kaoru?"

"E.Enishi.....he's back. We have to get out. Please Kenshin, I'm scared." She cried into his chest.

Kenshin stood still, but gripped Kaoru tighter. His amethyst eyes were now swirling with raging amber.

He took her arm roughly pulling her along. He was enraged and he was showing it.

Kenshin went up to the nursery keeper and showed her the note, barley taking notice of her grief for him. Yahiko looked at Kaoru and ran toward her, wondering why his sister was crying.

"Come Yahiko, we're leaving." Kenshin said stiffly.

Yahiko didn't bother to say anything, for he had never seen Kenshin act like this. Kenshin had always been the kind hearted guy that loved him and his sister like a family after the death of his mother. Kenshin was like the father he barley knew.

When they got home Kaoru fell on the couch in tears. She didn't notice her bruised arm, only the pain in her heart. Kenshin hardly comforted her, but Yahiko did.

"Kaoru, what's wrong?" He asked.

Kaoru just ruffled his hair as she sat up.

"Yahiko, i'm going to tell you something so listen carefully and never forget and be very cautious. Alright?" She asked.

Yahiko nodded for conformation.

"Ok. If you ever see a man with white hair that goes to our school, glasses and turquoise eyes, you stay away from him. He is very bad." She explained.

Yahiko nodded.

"Kaoru, what did he do?" He asked.

Kaoru looked softly at him.

"He's just a bad guy. He was the one to hurt mommy. If he ever gets close Yahiko, he'll hurt you too, so heed my words ok?"

"Ok. Can I play games now?"

Kaoru gave him a watery smile and nodded as she stood up.

She walked in the kitchen to look for Kenshin. That was where he usually went after school, but he wasn't there. She walked up the stair, checking his room. That was where she found him.

Kenshin was sitting quietly on the edge of his bed, facing the wall.

'I will kill that bastard. Even if I have to revert to what I once was, I will kill him!' His mind repeated. ((In this, he never to the vow not to kill, just stopped. I'll explain it later on in the story.))

Kaoru took a cautious step in, and Kenshin finally noticed her. His eyes were now almost taken over by amber. The battousai was coming out.

"Kenshin?" Kaoru asked softly and took another step inside the room.

He looked sharply at her, and she stopped in her tracks.

"What's happened to you?" She questioned.

"Nothing." He curtly replied.

The way he was acting just added a pang of hurt to her. He was being so cold, and even his voice was darker.

The room was dim, for he only had one small lamp on. Just enough to make the shadows jump around him. The small lamp was to his back and it gave an eerie dark glow around him.

Kaoru was about to leave, but when she turned around, Kenshin was behind her in an instant. He grabbed her arms and swung her against a nearby wall. She gasped out of abrupt shock, not pain.

His fingeres gripped her upper arms tightly, sure to leave a bruise, but his eyes paralized her voice. He was standing very close as he pressed her up against the wall. His eyes swarming with an emotion she could not place.

"Mine." was the hoarse whisper she heard before his mouth captured her own in a rough kiss. The kiss was all but gentle. It was very possessive and demanding. She couldn't move. She was numb, or so she thought.

He wrenched her lips apart with his tounge and plunged it into the depths of her mouth, retracing the crevases.

His tounge found her's and played in a fercious battle, demanding she play back, but still she could not move. His mouth was fire on her, white hot and and inviting, but now it had a different thing added to it, like forboding darkness. She could do nothing but comply to his demands, as she shyly played back. He beat against her mouth it a slow rythm at first, but then all over the place, as she struggled to keep up with him. He broke the kiss, giving her time to breath.

Her mind was blank, for all she could think about were the new senses that the new Kenshin had opened for her. She could only feel his mouth trail wet kisses down her neck, to he meeting of her neck and shoulder, and to her colar bone. She gave a small gasp as he nipped at the bone. He returned to her lips, licking and tasting, just as rough as before, and Kaoru tried to return the feeling, but she was swept up into her own senses.

A moan escaped her and she could feel him smirk against her, as the sound only excited him more. He ran his hands up and down the length of her arms, and then let the rest at her hips. He pushed himself against her, closing any gap that was left, and Kaoru snaked her arms around his neck.

Her knees were going week, and her mind was swimming. Kaoru let her fingers tangle themselves in his hair, as he yet again develed into her mouth.

Kenshin broke the kiss, but didn't move. Kaoru opened her eyes, her breathing coming in large heaps and her chest moving up and down rapidly. Her eyes met his, and they were still hungry.

"Always Mine." He said again.

He lifted her chin with a finger and repeated, "Always,"

Kaoru looked at him questionally, but found no answer. He moved away from her, and she longed for the heat of him again.

"You will stay at my side at all times, don't ever leave my sight." He ordered.

Kaoru had a feeling she shouldn't argue but asked, "What about if I need to be in the bathroom for a shower or other stuff?" She blushed.

"I'll be outside the door." He replied and went downstairs, leaving her flushed and confused.

Kaoru walked down the stairs, watching Yahiko still play his game.

"Don't you think that you have been on there long enough?" Kaoru asked him as she sat on the couch.

"No Kaoru. For your information, I'm training. This is what I would do to that bad guy...duh." He said showing her a finishing move on one of his characters. Kaoru smiled at him.

Meanwhile, Kenshin was quietly fixing their dinner. His thoughts were still swimming on exactly how he was going to kill Enishi, nice and slow. His blood lust had returned, and at that, his eyes were fully amber.

His disposition was dark, as it had been, and everything was just different. He knew that he claimed Kaoru as his, but now he was going to let her know everytime he wanted her to know and would remind her of if everyday. She was stuck with him now, and he would never willingly give her up, no matter what she wanted, but he would never force her into anything, but he would make her want him as well.

Everything was quiet as they ate. Even Yahiko took the hint not to be loud. The silence was uncomfortable, like it was a threatening silence, just daring someone to break the mood.

As much as Kaoru wanted to ask Kenshin what his deal was, she knew just as well she would get no answer. She was learning of how this new Kenshin was, but at the same time, she was just scratching the surface.

Kaoru cleared the table as Yahiko watched his anime shows. She could feel his eyes on her the whole time, and tried not to blush, only succeeding once or twice. She was nervous, hoping that she wouldn't be clumsy and drop something, and she could almost feel him smirk at his reaction on her.

When everything was cleared, she walked up the stairs to her room to gather close to change into after her shower. Kaoru pulled out pajama pants with puppies on it and a shirt to match, and some underwear. She stood and turned around finding herself face to face with her boyfriend.

A small gasp escaped her mouth. 'How could he be so darn quiet?' She asked herself.

"Going?" He asked.

"To take a shower Kenshin." She replied softly.

He nodded giving her permission.

That was the first time Kaoru rolled her eyes at him in annoyance. She walked to the bathroom muttering under her breath. Once she was in there, she shut the door and locked it. Kaoru heard him lean against the door. She sighed and undressed.

Kaoru stood under the warm water, letting it run over her body relaxing her muscles. She thought quietly to herself as she washed her hair. 'Who does he thing he is?! Giving me permission to take a shower. Just for that, I'm going to take an extra long time. What the hell changed in him? All of a sudden he is more possessive and demanding. I think that this is the first time that I have ever defied him. Come to think of it, I don't think he ever gave me permission to do something. Ugh, he is so agrivating! If he can change, so can I. Get ready Kenshin for the most difficult girlfriend you've ever had.' She smirked.

She slowly conditioned her hair and slowly washed herself. After that, she took extra care as to dry herself off and dry her hair. Just to make him wait more, she took and especially long time to put lotion on. She never really had done before, but hey, it could become a habit just because of him. She heard him sigh on the other end of the door. She knew she was grating his nerves. Her smirk turned into a grin. When she finally decided she was done, she unlocked the door and opened it, letting out what was left of the steam from the shower.

Kenshin gave her a look of annoyance. She gave him a smiled and walked to her room. His eyebrow shot up a little as he followed her.

He leaned against her wall, watching her brush the tangles from her hair. She made one big braid and turned around. Kaoru still wore the same smile.

The younge woman walked downstairs to Yahiko, only to find him asleep. She picked him up and carried him to his room. She took off his socks, and just let him sleep in his cloths. He could take a bath tomorrow. Kaoru kissed his forhead and ruffled his hair before she clicked to lights off. She let her tired feet carry her to her own room, almost forgetting about Kenshin. She shut off her lights and then crawled into her bed.

Kaoru's eyes opened, he was still there. She sat up.

"Kenshin, don't you have a room?" She asked, annoyance in her voice.

"Shut up, pet, and go to sleep." He said abrubtly.

Kaoru knew he had never told her to shut up before, but decided she was too tired to argue. She knew that she didn't know this Kenshin anymore, and would probably have to get to know him again.

A thought crossed her mind before she drifted to sleep. 'What if he doesn't want me anymore?' The thought scared her, but her mind refused to let her think as it shut itself off.

In a corner, Kenshin sat against the wall, his knee propping up his elbow. He pulled his sword back out and half slept with it. He was already getting used to his old habits. Once he heard his pet's breath fall into a rythm, he let himself fall into a dreamlike state, but still so very aware.
