Disclaimer: yeah whatever…
Now… I'm sooo dead aren't I? I'm really really sorry! But I really couldn't have updated any sooner… plus I got out of ideas…Anyway I just made a break while I was studying Philosophy I'm going to have a test tomorrow…
So I really hope you can forgive me from this long waiting period… but I really couldn't do it any sooner… and I have good reasons… I had to study… and a lot too! The good thing is that the tests all went well… (18,1 at English; 15 at Philosophy; 13,5 at Portuguese; 15 at TIC(computers)… I'm still going to receive my math test… I made it last week… you see my first math test went really bad… I failed that one… I think I had about 8 or something like that… I was so nervous I blocked and couldn't do almost anything… but the second one went really well ) I think I might have a 15 or near that)
Just one last thing: Thank you all reviewers and readers for your patience!
To understand is easy… but to choose…
Kaoru's POV
I woke up feeling strange… 'That dream… wait that was the same dream I had when I… was… teleported back here….'
My mind screamed in surprise. Clumsily I tried to get my fat ass out of the futon but…
"Itai….!" I fell back down…
The impact of the fall made me black out for a couple of seconds… or… was it more? I tried to open my eyes… 'They won't open!' then I tried to get up, to move at all 'Why can't I move?!'… 'What's happening?!'
My body felt as if gravity had gone up to the point of making me glued to the floor. 'Am I that fat? NO! Baka Kaoru! This is no time to think about that! There's something fishy going on here!'
I tried desperately to get up or do anything at all for at least one whole minute and all of a sudden there was an inversion of situation.
"OH MY GOSH!!!!" I was now flying at an extraordinary velocity into… nothing…. It was pitch black… but I knew my eyes were open because I felt them watering at the velocity I was going.
And then it just stopped… 'It stopped? IT DID STOP!!!!"
"Where the hell am I…?"
Normal POV
The pitch black was now fading and turning bright and colorful.
"Ohayo Kaoru-chan…" a sweet voice echoed through all the emptiness that surrounded Kaoru's small body.
Kaoru stiffened… she knew that voice, she knew it as well as she knew the palm of her hands.
"Okaa-san…?" she asked as she turned around.
There she was… smiling like she always did.
"How's everything sweetheart?"
"Not good… I'm hallucinating…"
"Oh you're not sweetheart… you know you aren't."
Kaoru gulped "Oh my… I'm going nuts…"
Her mother frowned "Kaoru did I ever lied to you?"
"N-no…"
"Well it isn't after being dead that I'm going to start…"
Kaoru nodded grimly…
"So you finally remembered your child wish uh?"
"I guess so…"
"Now you have to decide…"
"D-decide?" Kaoru felt so confused… she rubbed her temples…
"Yes… you now have to choose between this life or your past one…" her mother approached her and patted her soft hair softly "I know it's hard… tell me Kaoru… let me hear your heart speak…"
Kaoru's POV
'Choose? I don't want to choose… but I have to…'
"What will happen after I choose?"
"Well if you stay here with… Kenshin… you'll leave your father forever… and if you stay with your father… you'll leave Kenshin forever…"
I trembled a little "B-but… what about them…? Won't they be hurt by me going away?"
"Let's see… as soon as you leave one of the worlds the other will enter in a time collapse and will reconstruct itself again… making the history make sense once again… that means some things that were will cease being and others will stay… either way… let's say that you may have unexpected surprises… and as for the people you interacted with… they'll forget you… you'll be the only one remembering…"
'What?!' now tears clouded my eyes and I felt them burning, wanting to fall.
"Why did you do this to me okaa? I'm going to be the one hurting in the end… why? What do you want from me?!"
"What do you want for yourself? You know Kao-chan, if you choose correctly you won't hurt in the end… I did this because you were turning yourself into a shadow… you didn't know how to use your heart anymore…" I knew she was saying this to help me but somehow I couldn't help but to feel as a stubborn child who had done something wrong and was now hearing a lecture…
"I can't decide…"
"Let you heart talk sweetheart… let him talk for you… he'll make the right choice…"
Normal POV
Kaoru closed her eyes; she had to choose between home (her family) or Kenshin (her heart).
She took a deep breath… minutes passed…
1…
…2…
…3…
She finally opened her eyes…
"Very well then sweetheart… that is your choice…" she smiled sweetly and gave another step forward to hug Kaoru who was now on the verge of breaking…
"Oh okaa-san…" tears spilled from her blue eyes…
"Shh… it's ok… it will be ok…"
Kaoru got out of the embrace as her mother cleaned her tears…
A more decided look appeared now on the face of the teenager… "I… I want to say goodbye to him…"
Her mother smiled "I think… that's a very good idea…"
Me: well now… I know what you're thinking… "She made us wait for months and now she makes and extra small chapter ending on a CLIFFHANGER?! I'm soo going to kill her…" I know that would be what I thought… l0ol I hope you like the chapter… -gets up and goes bang her head on the wall- this is my punishment for taking so long writing this xx!
Oh I don't know who asked me sometime ago if I could draw anime and I answered I rather draw landscapes… well now… it's awkward but I love drawing anime now and any other cartoon… I would love to make part of a film making team like "pixar" or something like that… you see I love both multimedia and good ol' drawing…
Well gotta go…see yanext chapter people and once again I beg you guys to forgive me!
Oh… do review… even if it is to say… "I'm so going to kill you!" )
Ja ne!
