AC: hey arigatou for the reviews! well heres chapter 5!

i don't own rk

"Alright Hiroki! Enough games! Its time to finish this!"

Hiroki, looking a bit confused, tried to keep up with Kenshin's god-like speed, but failed miserably. Within the blink of an eye Kenshin had used his Hiten Mitsurugi Style Ryo-Sou-Sen (i think thats how you spell it lol).

Yahiko yelled cheerfully proud of the outcome of the battle.

"Yeah! Go Kenshin!"Yahiko cheered, but he was cut short of falling to his knees from his pain. Hikaru flew to Yahiko's side seeing that he was out of breath.

"Come on, Yahiko,"Hikaru said putting his arms around her neck. She then floated away back to the Kamiya Dojo's roof.

It was already day 6. During the last four days Yahiko did nothing, but sit in Kaoru's room watching her heal. She had finally grew enough strength to walk.

"Good, Kaoru. You're up,"Megumi said in the kitchen drinking some tea,"How're you feeling?"Megumi asked. Kaoru shrugged her shoulders slowly.

"Where's Kenshin?"Kaoru asked.

"He's in his room. He was badly injured from those wounds, Kaoru. So don't bother him too much,"Megumi added.

Kaoru walked down the hall and opened the shoji door to Kenshin's room. He layed there on his futon motionless with only his chest moving from his breathing.

Kaoru kneeled down next to him as Yahiko and Hikaru watched from a far.

"Kenshin,...this is all my fault. I'm such a burden to everyone...Here i'am just worthless and weak,"Kaoru said slowly and weakly through tears."I...can't take this pain...anymore... I'm nothing, but dead weight...who always get kidnaps and crys over everything...Ever since Yahiko died I haven't been the same..."Kaoru clenched her fists tightly on her lap as tears streamed down onto her kimono leaving small dark damp spots.

"Who is this woman to you?"Hikaru asked,"She seems very caring towards you. Is she a sister? Or even a...mother?"

Yahiko's eyes widened a bit hearing the word 'mother'. He didn't say anything for a while.

"She's both. She can be a real pain sometimes like a sister, but she takes care of me like a mother. She welcomed me into her home when I had nowhere else to go,"Yahiko replyed. Hikaru looked into Yahiko's eyes.

"How does she treat you like a mother?"Hikaru asked, curiously. Yahiko looked at Hikaru and thought back.

"Well..."he began.

Flashback

"Ow! RRG!"Yahiko moaned in pain. Yahiko,was by a field, who his training on his swordsmanship when he suddenly tripped and rolled down a hill. His leg was in pain and he had a big cut on his arm."Argh! Damnit!"he screamed in pain.

"Yahiko?"Kaoru yelled running over to Yahiko in her training gi."What happened?"she asked kneeling beside him.

"N-nothing!"he squinched in pain. Kaoru frowned and put her hands on her hips.

"It doesn't look like 'nothing'!"she said loudly.

"What would you know, you old hag!"Yahiko said angerly to Kaoru.

"Don't be so stubborn! Now let me take a look at you!"Kaoru said, gently taking Yahiko's wounded arm."This wound is pretty deep."Kaoru looked up at Yahiko,"What were you doing?"she asked.

"Training! Gotta problem with that?"Yahiko yelled fiercly. Kaoru became angry and whacked him on the back of the head.

"Will you shut up! I'm trying to help you! and This is the thanks I get! I should just leave you here in pain! You probably broke your leg!"Kaoru threatened. Yahiko looked at Kaoru feeling a bit remorse. He lowered his head.

"Gomen nasai, Kaoru,"he said roughly. Kaoru blinked a few times and then smiled.

"Its okay,"Kaoru said. She then teared the hem of her kimono and wrapped it around Yahiko's arm."Does that feel a bit better?"she asked. Yahiko nodded as Kaoru showed her warm smile.

Kaoru then looked at Yahiko's leg. "Does this hurt?"Kaoru asked poking Yahiko's leg.

"OW! YES YES! Argh!"Yahiko whined. Kaoru giggled.

"You're such a brat! Its only sprained. It shouldn't hurt that much."Kaoru said flicking Yahiko's forehead. Yahiko placed his hand on his forehead.

"Would you stop that! Jeez! You treat me like a little kid!"Yahiko said. Kaoru smirked.

"Thats because you are! You're only 11! Not even in your pre-teens, yet!"she said loudly. Yahiko just cursed under his breath and crossed his arms. "What was that!"she yelled.

"Nothing...,"he said roughly. Kaoru smirked and just ignored him.

"You're such a brat,"Kaoru laughed.

End of Flashback

"She must love you a lot,"Hikaru said softly. Yahiko shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject as he flew back to the dojo roof to check up on the ball. Only 10 more pieces to go until they could get out of the illusion.

"So tomorrow is when we leave?"Yahiko asked. Hikaru nodded. Just then, Hikaru noticed that the light had changed. She turned around and noticed a sunset, even though it was just an illusion.

"Yahiko...,"Hikaru said softly pointing at the sunset. Yahiko sat on the roof and smirked.

"Beautiful? Isn't it? Even though its an illusion its just like back home,"Yahiko said. Hikaru smiled and sat next to Yahiko.

"I've never seen anything so beautiful,"Hikaru staring at the sunset. Yahiko faced Hikaru and noticed her eyes reflected from the sunset. She looked so beautiful with those eyes.

Hikaru, noticing that she was being stared upon, looked at Yahiko. She seemed just inches from his face.

"Yahiko...,"Hikaru whispered.

Yahiko closed his eyes and then stared back at the sunset noticing what was about to happen. He began to blush.

"Something wrong, Yahiko?"Hikaru asked.

"No...its nothing,"Yahiko said facing back to Hikaru smirking. Hikaru smiled back. She looked so lovely probably because she was an angel.

The two turned back looking at the sun as it dissapeared from the horizon. Suddenly the blank dark night had begun to grow little tiny white specks.

"Yahiko, look,"Hikaru said pointing at the stars,"My sisters,"she added calmly. Yahiko looked confused.

"I thought you didn't have family?"he said. Hikaru nodded.

"Hai and Iie. Each angel was born from a star. When a star shines brightly it means that they are looking down at us. It means that we are never alone...never,"Hikaru said softly. Yahiko's eyes began to glisten as he smiled listening to Hikaru.

Hikaru smiled back as always and suddenly she layed her head on Yahiko's shoulder."I'll never be alone...when I'm with you, Yahiko,"Hikaru said as lovely as ever. Yahiko blushed and scratched the back of his head with his cocky smile.

"Heh." Was all he replyed back.
