Description: What if Kenshin met Kaoru when he was still a Battousai and she was the one who could rival him in fighting ability? What if she experienced a few similar things like he did? Kaoru is a little OOC.
Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, no matter how many times I pray or imagine it….don't sue me because you'll get what I have: nothing...
Chapter Three:
"Kaoru" he cried, "Are…you injured?" Kumara took a deep breath because he ran back; "We defeated….the military personnel!" he took another deep breath.
Kaoru's heart rose above the clouds. Her people were alive.
The Battousai stood still for a moment. He couldn't believe what was happening. How could a freaking small village be such a threat?
Kumara looked at the Battousai and took a defense stance, "I am sick of this Revolution! I would be married by now, and Kaoru would be mine! I hate this Battousai. He is destroying my life—I just want to stop fighting." He thought quickly and passionately, it aroused his anger.
The Battousai charged at him and slashed his face; Kumara cried out.
"Kumara!" Kaoru said desperately.
"I am fine." He yelled, but then he swooned because he already lost so much blood.
"No…you're not." The Battousai whispered.
Kumara was struck with fear. The Battousai eyes where…inhuman or something. Golden or Amber…but then his eyes slide out of focus and Kaoru noticed his weak stance.
Battousai came at him full-force and Kumara was already battle weary, more so than Kaoru because of his great wound at his side.
"Kumara" she gasped, "He is going to faint!"
She rushed over to save him with a speed she never had accomplished before. She got in front of Kumara and pulled out her sword and she grunted as the force of the Battousai's blade came down upon hers.
"She's incredible…" The Battousai was not one to compliment—in fact it was probably the kindest thing he uttered in a long time.
Kaoru's sword cracked, "NO!" she cried urgently
"Now is my chance…" He raised his sword and for the first time hesitated. He looked down at this young girl with big blue eyes; she was younger than him—he felt…pity?
Kaoru looked up at him with pleading eyes, and then she reached for Kumara's sword and rushed into a stance. Kaoru's hair flew around her untamed as she got up, "He is fast enough…" she pondered in deep thought, "…he could have killed me as I reached for the sword." Kaoru was confused.
She looked up and the Battousai was gone…
"Honto?"
Kaoru slipped out over dreams and focused on what had just happened. Once again the Battousai had disappeared after acting contrary to his ways, but this time was different. Didn't he say protect? That was insane! He was just trying to bring her guard down but it wouldn't work. She would be ready.
