Sorry 'bout the wait. Please. Tell me who all want's the un-edited version of chapter four, and i'll gladly send it to you. It just took me awhile. I'm soo sorry!

PS: Please, for the love of all the gods in heaven and hell, please do not gripe about my spelling of the names. the way i type the names is from a profile page i printed off a year ago. I've changed, and then people griped that the spelling was wrong, so i changed back...and then i'm being griped at because they think it's not right, and i'm sick and tired of them telling me how to type names i've typed since two years ago! It's just soo aggravating it's ridiculus. We are not on this site to correct spelling errors, we are here to enjoy stories written by fellow anime and tv and book fans in general, and let them enjoy ours, however pitiful they might be! So, i ask you, let me spell names the way I want to, and you can spell them however you want. I honestly don't gripe about spelling that much, if at all, so i would appreciate it if you all didn't gripe about mine.

Sorry- I'm venting again, aren't I.

Anyways. Thanks for reviewing, and i'm sorry again about the wait.

Here's your chapter.

----------

"What did you do?!" Megumi shreaked, feeling frantically for any sign of life from their precious ruroni.

"Everyone outside of this room must belive Kenshin is dead. I have put him into a sleep that will last for three days. Miojin, spread the news. Make it look real. Everyone around town must think he is dead." He whispered to Megumi and Yahiko, moving over to Kaouru.

"Kaouru? Wake up. I'm sorry, but...Kenshin...Kenshin's dead." He said to the raven haired girl.

"No!" Kaouru wailed, collapsing. She scrambled across the floor to Kenshin's motionless body.

"He can't be! He's not dead! He's not!" She pounded on his chest, tears streaming down her face.

"Kaouru, come on." Yahiko said, pulling on his master's kimono. "Please. It's not going to bring him back." He said, tears running down his cheeks.

--------------------------

"I can't belive it! The battosai is dead. I thought he was indestructable. Even he was mortal after all." Saito said, running a shaking hand through his hair.

Kaouru was crying in the corner of the room, Yahiko always at her side.

Aoushi stared at the town's people gathered around the body.

Noone that looked like Kenshin was there.

So many people were here. It was amazing. Sanouske wasn't there. He had heard about the ruroni's "Death" and they hadn't seen or heard of him since. Someone said something about hearing him say he was going to get payback.

Aoushi could feel the energy coming back into the figure on the silk platform. He walked slowly up to the platform and laid a hand on the ronin's forehead. The energy around them dissipated quickly.

---------------------------

"Kenshin Himura, the legendary Hitokiri Battosai, is dead." Toya said, handing him the platter of food.

"Good. Now we shall start on the others." He said, biting into the rice.
