Kenshin: And you've been somewhere else.
Lina: Yes, well, here you go!
Kenshin, The Tormented Soul Part 4
Kenshin woke up the next morning, and Kaoru was leaning against the wall, sleeping. He smiled. The pain was gone for the time being, but he still lay in the fouton, thinking. How did Tomoe speak to him? Was it just his imagination? These questions were running through his mind.
"I must really miss her," he thought. Kaoru opened her eyes quickly and leaned forward.
"Kenshin!" She cried. Kenshin sat up.
"What's the matter?" He asked. Kaoru almost started to cry.
"Thank goodness. I thought you were gone..." she replied. Kenshin smiled.
"I'm right here, and I'm feeling better, that I am," he said. Kaoru crawled up to him and put her hand on his forhead and her other one on her's.
"You don't seem to have a fever," she said. Kenshin blushed.
"Oro?" He asked. Kaoru jumped back and turned bright red. Kenshin laughed. Sano knocked on the door.
"Hey, are you okay?" He asked. Kaoru got up, still red, and opened it.
"He's... better," she said quickly and turned around.
"Well that's good. I was worried for awhile there. So was everyone else," Sano explained.
"Thank you. I'm sorry I caused so much trouble, I just haven't been myself lately," Kenshin said, sadly. Kaoru looked at him worridly. Suddenly images flashed in Kenshin's mind, images of all of the men that he had killed. They were standing, blood streaming down their faces, staring at him. Kenshin's eyes grew wide and he started shaking.
"Kenshin! What's wrong?" Kaoru asked. Kenshin could barely hear her, since the voices of the men were so loud in his mind. He was breathing heavily and sweat ran down his face. He put his shaking hand on the handle of his sword. In his mind he ran up to the men and slashed at them, he almost slashed Kaoru. She started to cry as she backed up against the wall.
"What's going on?" Yahiko asked, walking in, tiredly. He saw the crazed Kenshin and gasped. "I'm going to go check on the others," Yahiko said and ran off. Sano stood in front of Kenshin, he almost got hit with Kenshin's sword, but ducked underneath it and punched him in the stomach. Kaoru gasped and fell on her knees.
"Ken... shin," she said. Sano layed Kenshin back down.
"I think he needs more rest," he said.
"What happened? Why did Kenshin... attack me?" She asked.
"I don't know. Maybe it had to do something with the other day. I hope this doesn't last too long," Sano replied.
Lina: I know, it's short. But like I said, I'm having a hard time coming up with ideas. So if u have any suggestions, please tell me.
Kenshin: Don't kill me!
Lina: They won't, don't worry. They love u!
