Aoiya.........
"Oh my god!! that's great!! When can I see her?" Misao exclaimed.
"Soon, hopefully. We'll take you back with us when we go back," Megumi answered.
"Ah! I can't wait!! Himura did really want to find her when he stopped here," she said.
"Battousai did find Kaoru-san, then?" Aoshi joined the conversation.
"Yes, we left yesterday and they were..... ohohohohohohohoho!!!!!!!!" Megumi answered, finally being able to move away from Kenshin.
"Still a sly fox I see," Sano observed.
"Is there anything else for me?" she smiled wickedly.
"I guess not."
Dojo.........
"I have to tell him about the baby....." she remembered, tears starting again. (a/n: ok, has anyone noticed how much of a crybaby kaoru is?! kaoru: so wat?!)
Meanwhile Kenshin was doing his own thinking....
"What the hell did he do?!" he cried out for the millionth time. He really didn't want to hurt Kaoru more than he had, but the Battousai had ruined that dream.
"Kenshin," she whispered, again stepping into his doorway.
"Hai, Kaoru-dono?" he answered quietly.
"Th-there's something I have to tell you......" she started.
"Hai?"
"I, uh, umm, it was easier before," she began, "I'm pregnant."
Aoiya...........
"Wait, there's one thing I want to know," Misao said, "Himura seemed out of his mind and his eyes were yellow. What the heck does that mean?"
"Oh, that," Sano started, "Battousai some how broke out of Kenshin and well, that was made him seem so crazy."
"He is so, uh..." Megumi shuddered, remembering how he'd glared at her at the clinic.
"Scary," Misao interjected for her.
"Yeah, that," she accepted the definition.
"Well, at least Kaoru-chan finally got her happily after!!" Misao smiled brightly, "But she's not the only one!"
"You're right there, they were practically making out in the hallway-" Yahiko started, only to be hit on the head by Okina who was walking out.
"It looks like you took my advice, Aoshi," he said, glancing at how happy Misao was.
"Huh? What do ya mean, Jiya?" she asked, confused.
"Nothing, I think we should go visit Kaoru-san and Himura-kun in Tokyo," he added abruptly, "It would make a nice vacation."
"Yosshi!!!!!" Misao exclaimed.
"Then it's back to Tokyo," Megumi sighed, angry that she'd spent money on a ticket that was now going to be a waste.
"Gomen for makin' ya come out kitsune," Sano apologized.
"Daijoubu."
Dojo...........
Kenshin buried his face in his hands. Things were worse than he could ever imagine. Ever. He thought they had simply married, something he could easily reverse, but this...........
"Shit," he whispered.
Kaoru had left as soon as she had told him. She didn't want to see how he would react. She knew that the Battousai had been delighted, but now...... he was gone. She didn't bother trying to stop crying, just letting the tears roll down her face freely.
Battousai: Now will you let me out?
Rurouni: Goddamn you!! I can't believe you would screw up my life so bad!!
Battousai: Only because I love her
Rurouni: Bullshit
Train!.........
"Dammit!!! Look, punk!! Get another seat, because I am in no goddamn way going to share a seat with you!!! It's bad enough that I have to be on this fucking train!!" Sano yelled.
"Really Tori Atama, I'm going to sit next to you," Megumi stopped their fight.
"Now, that I don't mind," he smiled roguishly.
"Get your mind out of the gutter, tori atama," she chided him, whacking him upside his head.
"Itai, fox!!"
"Deal with it," she said, showing no traces of sympathy for him.
"You two are funny," Misao giggled, watching the two argue.
"Funny?"
"No, you're right, you guys are cute," she corrected herself, hand entwined with Aoshi's.
"CUTE?!" Megumi demanded.
"Yeah, you always argue, it's cute," she giggled again, bringing a smile to Aoshi's usually stony features.
"I only argue cause I HATE him!!!" Megumi snapped, a deep flush crossing her cheeks.
"Same here!!! No way in hell do I even like her!!! She's just a sly fox!!" Sano agreed.
"But don't you know? Arguing is just a cover for attraction!" Misao informed them.
"IS NOT!!!!!!!" they screamed at the same time, a flush apparent on both of their faces.
"Hee, hee," Misao giggled once more. (A/N: gad, i is makin' her do that a lot, ne?)
"Megumi, I told you that in Tokyo and you agreed that you did like Sano," Yahiko argued.
"DID NOT!!!!!" she yelled, the blush deeper than ever before.
Dojo.........
"I had to tell him," Kaoru reasoned, wiping her tears, "He needed to know." She sighed and stood up off the porch, noticing how light it was.
"I wonder how Yahiko and Megumi are doing?" she said, making her way to the bath house, not even bothering to ask Kenshin to heat the furo. She heated the furo herself, and then treated herself to a luke warm bath, seeing as there was no one to keep it warm. She pulled her knees to her chest and stared at the ceiling, her eyes dry. There were marks on her cheek letting anyone who cared to look, just where her tears had fallen. With another sigh, she got out and changed into a fresh yukata.
Stepping out of the bath house, a wave of nausea overtook her petite form.
"Ugh," she whispered, sinking to her knees on the ground, one hand over her mouth, and the other on her stomach. Desperately searching for anything she could use, she eyed a bucket a few yards away.
'I'll never make it,' she thought wistfully. She retched and felt the burning at the back of her throat. She coughed violently afterward, and fell back against the outside of the bath house, breathing heavily.
'Is this what I'll go through every morning?' she wondered, trying to calm her breathing.
"Kaoru-dono?" She lifted her head and saw Kenshin walking towards her, but it was fuzzy. Everything was turning black. She tried to stand, but only fell back to the ground.
"Kaoru-dono!" he exclaimed, catching her as she passed out.
The Kenshin-gumi!!!.......
"We're back!" Yahiko said, getting off the train.
"Thank Kami!" Sano gasped a sigh of relief, jumping of the train, "At least we didn't wake up in the sewers!"
"You are so stupid tori atama!!" Megumi said, whacking him(a/n: hey kitty, did ya get da innuendo?! ohohohoho!) upside the head, "There are no such thing as ghosts!"
"Yes there are!" he argued.
"Hey, let's just go see Kaoru-chan, ne?" Misao suggested mildly.
"Yeah, let's go see busu," Yahiko agreed.
"Then what are we all standing here for?!" Sano said, wanting to get as far away from the train as he could.
"Alright, alright, let's go," Megumi said, walking towards the dojo.
Dojo.........
"Kaoru-dono!" Kenshin exclaimed, catching her as she passed out. He gathered her up and took her to "their" room. He laid her on the futon and retrieved a compress to place on her forehead.
"Hello newlyweds!!!" Sano called into the house, causing Kenshin to groan. Did everyone know?
"Ken-san! Tanuki-chan! Hope your not 'busy'!" Megumi added, "Ohohohohohoho!!"
"Shhhh! Sessha doesn't want to wake Kaoru-dono," Kenshin told them. They all stared wide-eyed at him.
"Ken-san?" Megumi asked cautiously, becoming aware of his personality change.
"Come on, she passed out, Megumi-dono will you take a look at her?" he pleaded.
"Kenshin, that's just cause you knocked her up," Sano answered. Megumi smacked him.
"Really! Must you be so insensitive about this situation?!" she demanded.
"Just telling the truth."
"Ken-san, she's pregnant, losing consciousness is normal after strenuous activity or emotional stress," Megumi explained.
"Then I'll take her to her room," he said getting up with her in his arms. Once he was inside the Kenshin-gumi was discussing his change.
"Oh, god this could be bad," Megumi groaned.
"As I recall, the rurouni didn't show interest in Jou-chan," Sano put in.
"Oh!! Kaoru-chan!!" Misao wailed.
"Calm down Misao," Aoshi told her.
"But Kaoru-chan's about to have love ripped out from under her!!" she protested.
"Alright, what are we gonna do?" Megumi asked.
"Knock him out and hope the Battousai takes over again?" Yahiko suggested.
"Let's try it, for Kaoru's sake," Megumi agreed, "Yahiko-kun, why don't you do that. Just hit him on the head with your shinai, and if that fails, Sano can hit him so hard he won't know what happened." They all nodded and Yahiko went to get his shinai.
"Poor Kaoru-dono, I never wanted to put you through this," Kenshin said, shaking his head. He was too lost in his thoughts to hear Yahiko and Sano come up behind him. Yahiko smashed his shinai into his head with as much power as he could muster.
"Ororororororo!!" he exclaimed, falling forward.
"We did it," Yahiko said, pushing him off of Kaoru.
"What are you doing and what is Kenshin doing on my floor?" Kaoru was coming to, asking a million questions as she went.
"Oh, we knocked him out so the Battousai would come back," Yahiko shrugged before leaving.
"Hopefully when he wakes up he'll be back," Sano added, leaving the room as well.
"I see," she said to no one.
"Ugh," Kenshin started to regain consciousness.
"Kenshin!" Kaoru exclaimed going to his side. He looked at her and drew her into his arms.
"Koishii, I'm sooo, soooo, sorry," he apologized.
"Oh, Kenshin," she murmured returning his embrace. He nuzzled her neck, and held her close to him, laying back on the futon with her.
"Kaoru, I won't let him come back, I won't," he assured her.
"Kenshin, aishiteru," she said, "Aishiteru."
"Aishiteru, Kaoru, aishiteru," he muttered over and over. (A/N: over and over again, over and over again, cuz it's all in my head.....)
