Pervious on Kaoru and the Battosai-
"Hai.....you know you don't have to." "I know I don't it's the fact that I want to," he said kneeling down making it easier for her to climb on. "Arigatou." She said smiling as she got on his back wrapping her arms around his neck and Battosai hands held her up by placing them underneath her knees. He then stood up and continue their walk back to the castle.
~Kaoru and the Battosai~
Chapter 20
~Staying
Only the moonlight lighted the path as Battosai, with Kaoru on his back, made they're way to the castle. They had been silent from the time leaving the river; Kaoru was the one to break this "Battosai." 'I thought she was asleep...' "What?" "Am I still you're prisoner?" 'I wasn't suspecting that...what should I tell her ....I don't want her to be my prisoner I want her to stay on her on free will....but if I tell her that she's not my prisoner she'll want to leave and return to her father....what do I say...' Battosai thought looking straight ahead. "Battosai? Am I still you're prisoner?" she asked again thinking he didn't hear her.
"Why do you....." Battosai stopped before finishing. As he stopped walking Kaoru became confused "Battosai why did you stop?" Battosai didn't answer her, but looked straight forward, his eyes narrowed and his amber eyes became cold and emotionless. Kaoru then followed his glare and saw a figure in the shadows. 'Who is it? ..... is it Saito.....he did say that he will fight Battosai again' "Kaoru get off," Battosai whispered as he removed his hands from underneath her knees letting her sidle off. "Battosai who is it?" "Show you're self," he said in a cold voice. The figure came into the moonlight, Kaoru's eyes widened as she whispered "Father." 'It's Her father?.....' Battosai thought surprised as he drop the picnic basket.
"I want my daughter, demon!" Kamiya-San yelled. "We made a deal, she stays here." Happy to see her father Kaoru began to run towards him. 'Damn it.....I don't want her leaving.. .Kaoru I'm sorry for this...' Battosai thought as he appeared in front of Kaoru. "Battosai..." "Kaoru...forgive me." He said. 'Forgive him?....what for?' Kaoru got her answer as Battosai punched her in the stomach. "Batto...sai.." Knocking her breath out she felled to the ground, passing out. "You demon, how dare you hit her!" "She'll be okay, but I would like you to go." he said calmly looking at her father. "I won't leave till I have Kaoru back." "And just how do you figure on getting her back?" "I'll fight you!" 'If I fight him......and kill him Kaoru won't ever forgive me....I can't kill her father....'
"I will not fight you." "I see, you'll fight young ladies but you can't fight a man." "It's not that. If I fought you I would kill you. Then Kaoru would be devastated. She would hate me and I don't want her to hate me," he said looking down at the unconscious Kaoru. "Are you going to foolishly throw you're life away and have you're daughter saddened by the lost of her father?" Battosai said starring into Kamiya-San eyes. "Are you telling me just to leave my only daughter with you." "Yes, but trust me I will bring no harm to Kaoru...." "How can you say that you just punched her!" Kamiya-San interrupting Battosai. "I did it so that I could talk with you and if you weren't willing to listen to me I couldn't have Kaoru watch me fight and kill you."
Kamiya-San stayed quiet and looked down at his daughter at Battosai's feet. "As I was saying before you interrupted me. Kaoru is safe with me, so I urge you to leave, other wise I'll have no problem killing you." 'Actually I would....killing him would make Kaoru hate me....' "How can you expect me to leave her in you're care?" "I don't expect you to, I'm asking you to please go and leave me with Kaoru." "I must know, why do you want her to stay here with you?" "I really don't know the answer, but you're daughter makes me feel something I've never felt till now." "Do you promise not to hurt her?" "Yes, you have my word. If I bring harm to her then I will freely give you my life." "If I let her stay here, when can I see her?" "I don't know."
Kamiya-San walked over to Kaoru, kneeling down he stroked he's daughter's face. "Kaoru," he whispered. Groining Kaoru slowly opened her eyes, "Farther.." she said haply looking up at him. "Kaoru, I've missed you so much." "So have I." Kaoru said reaching up to hug her father. "Do you wish to stay here?" Kamiya-San whispered into her ear so that Battosai couldn't hear them. "As much as I miss you......I don't know if I can leave him just yet...." she whispered back. Getting up, along with Kaoru "I understand." With that said he hugged his daughter again, smiled "I love you my Kaoru and I will see you again soon." Kaoru eyes began to tear up "I love you too dad." Kamiya-San turned to Battosai "Keep her safe." Battosai nodded as he watched her father walk away.
He looked at Kaoru's sadden face "Kaoru are you going to be okay?" "Hai." "Gomen Kaoru." "What...." before she could finish Battosai pulled her into to a hug. "I should have let you go with you're father." "No, I want to stay here with you." 'She wants to stay here with me?....does she feel the same as I feel toward her?...' Battosai questioned himself. "Do you not want me to stay?" she asked him. Looking in down at her he spoke softly "Hai, I want you to stay but I don't want you to be miserable here. You should be with you're father not me." Kaoru looked at him not know what to say 'Hai...I do want to go home....but right now I want to be with him.' "Kaoru, we should be getting to the castle." He said picking up the basket. "Okay....Battosai you never answered my questioned." Kaoru said looking at him. "What question?" "I asked you am I still you're prisoner?"
Smiling he turned to her "No. And I have a question to ask you." "What is it?" "Why do you want to stay here with me?" Kaoru stood there not able to figure out what was going on in her mind. "It's okay you don't have to answer it now." Kaoru smiled as a cold wind wiped through her hair "Oh! Battosai that wind is cold you must be really cold....gomen for wearing you're gi." "I'm okay Kaoru, now come on."
