A/N: Okay, I hope I write this chapter well. I'm sick. T_T My throat hurts, my head is stopped up with snot (sure you wanted to know that @_@) I have a cough that's irritating the hell out me and I keep sneezing. Plus I'm really sleepy *I'm amazed I can type this because of how tired I am*, but ever time I try to go to sleep I can't T_T so I though might as well write the update. So I would like to say I'm sorry if this chapter isn't good.

Pervious on Kaoru and the Battosai-
"Jou-Chan do you love him?" 'Do I love him?…I think I do…I do love him with all my heart …but what if what Sano says isn't right …what if Battosai doesn't love me?…' "Well do you?" "Hai, Sano I do." Kaoru stated with a smile. "Then tell him." "But Sano…what if you're not right?" Sano then looked up at Kaoru with a worry look. "Jou-Chan do you love him?" 'Do I love him?…I think I do…I do love him with all my heart …but what if what Sano says isn't right …what if Battosai doesn't love me?…' "Well do you?" "Hai, Sano I do." Kaoru stated with a smile. "Then tell him." "But Sano…what if you're not right?" Sano then looked up at Kaoru with a worry look.

As Sano continued look up at Kaoru he noticed the once clear blue sky now was a cloudy grey. Kaoru shivered at the sudden cold winter wind blew past her. "Winter is coming. Come on Jou-Chan let's get back to the castle. Wouldn't want to catch a cold." Sano said as started to walk back to the castle. Kaoru hugged herself tightly to keep her self warm as she followed Sano.
Upon entering the castle Kaoru and Sano could hear Misao and Yahiko arguing. "Misao, where's Battosai?" Kaoru asked walking up to Misao. "Himura said he wanted to be alone." "Oh." Kaoru replied quietly. Kaoru turned and started to walk up the stairs but was stopped at her name being called. "Kaoru, where are you going?" Misao asked. Smiling Kaoru answered her "I'm going to take a bath, then a nap." After she answered Misao's questions she made her way to the bathroom.
After Kaoru had taken her bath and was now asleep, Sano went to look for Battosai. He figured Battosai would be in the West Wing. When he reached the door he peaked through the crack. He saw Battosai blood red hair and his dark blue gi. "Sano, come in." Battosai said. Sano walked in and glanced at the red rose and then to Battosai. "What do you want?" Battosai asked. "Why did you leave the dojo?" "Because I wanted to." Sano frowned, "Okay then why did you kiss Jou-Chan?" "Sano, it's none of you're business." Sano frowned even more.
"Do you love her?" Battosai turned to look down at Sano then he moved his glare to the rose 'Do I love her?…I do …Should I tell Sano that I love her?…' "Well do you love her?" Sano asked again thinking he didn't hear him the first time. 'What do I say…if I tell him that I do love her what will he do…he'll make me tell her how I feel…' "So do you?" Sano continued looking at Battosai. 'but if she doesn't love me then I don't want her to feel like she's forced to love me…I don't want to tell her I love her and she not love me in return…' "Battosai?" Sano asked wondering what was going through Battosai's mind. Battosai then came out of his thoughts and looked down at Sano. "Well do you love her?" Sano asked again. 'I won't tell him that I love her…I'll lie to him…'
Battosai frowned "No I don't love her." Sano starred deep into his amber eyes, "I think you're lying." "Think whatever you want to." Battosai said as he walked out of the West Wing leaving Sano with his thoughts. Battosai walked down the long hallway to his room 'Will Sano tell Kaoru what I said?…what if he does…then Kaoru would never love me…' Battosai went into his room locking the door behind him.

Meanwhile back at Kaoru's village Jaaku was talking with Saito, "So you saw the demon Kamiya-San was talking about." Jaaku asked. "Yes, he's strong too, but not strong enough to defeat me." Saito said calmly smoking a cigarette "Was there a girl with him?" "Yeah." "So Kamiya-San was right that demon has Kaoru." "So." Saito replied shrugging. "Go back to the castle and fight him again." Saito flicked his cigarette and walked away. "Where are you going!?!" Jaaku yelled. "I don't take orders from petty mutts. If you want the raccoon girl get her you're self." Saito said as he disappeared in the distance. "Damn that Saito." Jaaku said to himself, "Fine I'll get Kaoru myself, then because I saved her she'll have to marry me." He said and then raced off to the castle.
~*~
Sano and Yahiko where walking around the castle "Sano, do you think Kaoru and Battosai will fall in love?" Sano stopped walking and looked out at the window, "You know kid I think they already have. But Battosai just won't admit it to anyone and Jou-Chan is afraid that he doesn't have the same feelings for her as she does him. Why do you care anyways if they where to fall in love that means Jou-Chan would be staying here for a long time." Yahiko looked at the grey sky and at the branches swaying in the strong wind. "I don't know, but if they fall in love doesn't that mean the curse will be broken?" "Yup." Silenced felled upon the two as they both glared out the window. Sano then noticed something moving on the ground approaching the castle "Yahiko, looks like we got a visitor." Yahiko looked in the direction Sano was looking in and saw a man walking through the castle's rusty iron gate. "Let's go and tell Battosai." Sano said as him and Yahiko rushed off to Battosai's room.
"Battosai!" Sano yelled at his door. The door opened to revile a pissed looking Battosai. "What do you want?" he asked already irritated at Sano and Yahiko. "There's a visitor coming." Yahiko answered him. Battosai frowned then waked passed the two. "Should we follow Sano?" "Yeah." Sano replied.
Battosai stood at the top of the stairs in the shadows when Sano and Yahiko walked up. They watched as the castle door open and a tall man came inside. Battosai could sense the man was nervous as he glanced around the castle with his back against the door. As the man began walking to the stairs Battosai disappear and reappeared behind the man. "What do you want." Battosai said in a cold voice. The man turned around he's eyes widened when he saw the Battosai's amber eyes boring into him.
"A…are you t…the demon?" he asked nervously. Battosai frowned "You dare to come in this castle uninvited and question me. This is the last time I ask you, if you don't answer me I'll just kill you then. What do you want?" The man grew more nervous "I…I'm here f…for Kaoru." Battosai frowned, 'who is this man that wants Kaoru…what relationship does she share with him…he can't be her lover can he?…' Battosai thought as he placed his hand on the hilt of his katana. "Where is Kaoru?!" the man yelled when he got the nerve. Battosai narrowed his eyes "If you know what's good for you you'll shut the hell up."
Kaoru heard her name being yelled and sat up in her bed. 'I wonder who's calling me?…it didn't sound like Battosai, Sano or the others voice…but yet it sounds familiar…' Kaoru got up and put a robe on as she rushed out of the room. She saw Yahiko and Sano looking down through the railing by the stairs. "What's going on?" Kaoru asked "Shh." Sano said gesturing for her to kneel down. Kaoru kneeled down and looked at what the two were starring at when she came upon them.
Battosai had heard her voice and glanced up to the top of the stairs, when he did this the man looked behind he to see what had made Battosai glance up. Kaoru's eye's widened when she saw the man's face, she stood up after he had turned back to face Battosai.
"Jaaku." Kaoru said. The man looked behind him again and saw Kaoru, he nervous face turned happy. "Kaoru!" he yelled and began to run up the stairs forgetting all about Battosai. Battosai frowned and then used he's god like speed to get ahead of the man and stopping him before every getting to the top. "Jaaku is it not that I give a rat ass what you're name is. Don't come any where near Kaoru." Jaaku began to back down the stairs as Battosai came towards him.
"Please sir, all I want is Kaoru.…you have no use for her. You could never love her like I do. You're a demon and demons don't have hearts." Jaaku pleaded. Battosai grew angrier, "You beg like a worthless dog." Battosai said as he was still coming toward Jaaku. "Please have a heart and let Kaoru come home with me." Battosai laughed when he heard this, "Didn't you just say I was a demon and that demons don't have hearts? Oh and unlike you Kaoru is free to go home when ever she wants to she's no longer my prisoner." "W…what do you m…mean unlike me?" Jaaku asked nervously. "Because, I'm going to kill you." Battosai grinned evilly.
