Warning in this chapter: Cursing
The day was over, and Kaoru felt kind of sore from P.E.. The thought of it reminded her of Kenshin. She remembered how she was speechless of seeing Kenshin with a bokkon. He looked so handsome and he was very straight forward of things especially swordsmanship.
Before Kaoru knew it, she was home. She opened the gate and went inside.
"Yahiko...i'm home!"she called out. Kaoru heard something break.
"Father!"yelled Yahiko.
Kaoru ran into her father's room where she had heard Yahiko. She slid open the shoji door and found her father collapsed on the floor with Yahiko beside him. Yahiko was shaking his father.
"Wake up father!"Yahiko screamed. Kaoru ran over to them.
"What happened?"she asked.
"Father came home back from his mission and he wanted to take a rest then I heard something break and I went to go see what it was and it came from father's room. He must of tried to hold on to something to break his fall!"said Yahiko. Kaoru looked at Yahiko she could see tears form in his eyes.
She then, ran to the nearest phone and called an ambulance.
Megumi was reading at a nearby park sitting at a bench. She heard footsteps come up from behind her then she heard what she would usually hear at school.
"Hey fox! Whats up?"asked Sanosuke. Megumi turned around and saw him chewing on a small twig. Megumi wrinkled her nose a little.
How could someone chew on something that came from the ground! she thought.
"Why are you here Sanosuke?"she asked, "All I wanted was a little peace and quiet"she said.
"I came to give you some...company"he said as he sat next to Megumi. He picked up her book and read the cover,
"Two Hearts One Destiny?"he said. Megumi snatched the book away from him.
"Roosterhead, have you any respect for other people's belongings?"she asked, her hands on her hips. Sano just shrugged his shoulders and leaned backward, his elbows on the table.
"Come on fox, you know me better than that"he said. Megumi folded her arms.
"Actually I don't"she said. Sanosuke smirked.
"I like that in you fox"said Sanosuke.
"Like what?"she asked.
"Playing hard to get"he replied looking at her with his chocolate brown eyes. Megumi just looked at him and blushed a little.
She picked up her novel and decided to leave.
"See ya fox"he said with a grin.
Megumi ignored him and walked down the street. A light breeze went by. Strands of her hair were pushed onto her face.
She heard sirens come from behind her. She turned around and saw an ambulance drive past her. They looked like they were in a rush, but what Megumi didn't know was that Kaoru was in there.
Another day of school had come. Kenshin was with Sanosuke leaning against lockers watching people go by.
"What did you get on your calculus test?"asked Sanosuke.
"I got a 92 percent out of 100...you?"said Kenshin.
"Er...urm...I got a..."that last part of what Sanosuke said Kenshin couldn't hear he was mumbling.
"You got a what?"asked Kenshin raising an eyebrow. Sanosuke paused for a second then said quietly,
"I got a 15 percent." Kenshin's eyes widened.
"Sano you're never going to graduate high school with scores like that, you-"
"I know I know!"interupted Sano. He didn't want to hear Kenshin's lecture so he decided to change the subject,"Aoshi's back"he stated. Kenshin looked at Sanosuke. It had been a while since he saw his friend. Aoshi went away to a private school, but Kenshin thought maybe it wasn't working for him. Kenshin smiled and put his head on a locker.
"Its been a while since we last saw our friend"he said. Sanosuke nodded.
Suddenly they caught Aoshi coming over to him. He still looked the same. Tall, kind of muscular, black hair with bangs that came right above his eyes, and he still had the same look in his eyes. Icy blue. It still gave Kenshin and Sanosuke a shiver down their spines when they would look at him.
"Long time no see Ice"said Sanosuke. Ice was a nickname to Aoshi by Sanosuke. Aoshi smirked a little.
"I still see you haven't change Sagara"said Aoshi. Aoshi hadn't changed either, he still called his friends by their last names. Kenshin stood infront of Aoshi and greeted him with a hand on the shoulder.
"Welcome back Aoshi. We really did miss you"said Kenshin.
"What do you mean 'we'?"asked Sanosuke with one of his smart remarks. Aoshi looked at Sanosuke and smirked.
"I take that back Sagara, you'll never change"he said. Kenshin chuckled a bit. Sanosuke kneeled off the locker and put his hands in his pants pockets. The three talked for a bit until the bell rang for the first class of the day.
They stepped inside English class and took their seats by one another. Kenshin looked to where Misao sat. She was talking with three other girls, but Kaoru wasn't with them.
Hmm...Kaoru-dono isn't here today...he thought. The teacher came in and settled the class down. After roll call, they started class.
When the teacher gave out homework she spoke to the class.
"Would anyone be so kind to give Kaoru her homework afterschool at the hospital?"she asked. Kenshin's eyes widened.
What!he thought. Kenshin was worried he wanted to know if she was ok. He gladly raised his hand, but Misao raised hers before him.
"I'll do it!"she said. The teacher smiled and handed her the homework.
After school he told Sanosuke and Aoshi that he had a few errands to run, but didn't tell them what they were.
He caught up to Misao and asked her if he could come along.
"Uhh sure Himura, wait how do you know Kaoru-san?"she asked curiously.
"I met her in the library, we've become...friends"he said. Misao raised an eyebrow and just shrugged.
They made it to the hospital and went into the room where Kaoru was supposed to be. The two expected Kaoru to be the one in the bed, but found her next to it holding the hand of a man.
Misao walked in with one of her usual smiles.
"Hey Kaoru-san, umm, how is your father?"she asked seeing the resemblence with Kamiya-san and Kaoru. Kaoru stood up and walked to Misao.
"He's in critical condition"she said in a low voice. Misao hugged her friend to make sure she was ok.
When they parted their hug, Misao handed her the homework.
Kaoru placed the homework at a nearby sead. Kenshin watched the whole thing. He wanted to to hug Kaoru, but he knew he couldn't. He looked at Kaoru's father and noticed he didn't looks so hot, and he had trouble breathing.
Kaoru saw Kenshin and looked at him for a few seconds.
Why is Kenshin here?she thought to herself. Kenshin felt someone looking at him and looked to see who it was. It was Kaoru.
"Hey...I just wanted to know if you were alright"he asked. Kaoru felt so relieved. She had two good friends. She couldn't control her emotions and hugged Kenshin tightly.
Kenshin was a bit surprised, but he hugged her back.
"Thank-you for coming"she whispered to Kenshin. Her head was on his chest. Kenshin didn't want this feeling to end. He loved holding her, but Kaoru parted the hug.
Yahiko came in with a drink in his hand.
"Who are these people?"he asked slurping on his soda. Kaoru introduced Yahiko to her friends. Yahiko just waved hi and sat next to his father laying the cup of soda down. Yahiko also looked pretty upset.
Kaoru, Misao, and Kenshin talked for a bit until they noticed it was getting late.
"I better go Kaoru-san, I have school tomorrow"said Misao standing up. She hugged her friend and left. Kenshin just stood there with Kaoru, and decided to leave also, but he wished he didn't have to.
He said his good-byes and left. Kenshin walked down the hall and up ahead was Shishio. They went passed eachother. Kenshin could feel some bad vibes about him. He also looked familiar.
Kenshin turned his head and saw Shishio walk into Kaoru's room. He paused for a second and decided to see if Kaoru was going to be ok. Kenshin stood by the door and heard the conversation.
"Well I have good news Kamiya"started Shishio,"D.R.G. has been demolished and thanks to your father my company will be the biggest drug ring in Tokyo"he said smiling.
"He didn't want to! You made him"said Kaoru. She looked at her father and gripped her fists,"You did this to him, hes lying here because his heart had become weak from that mission you had sent him to do"she said,"The stress and worry has what caused his heart attack. He was taking care of us, we were the only reason why he did this. He did it to protect us...to keep us safe, but you low life son of a bitch wouldn't understand that! All you care is money and drugs!"said Kaoru. Her rage was becoming out of control.
"Kaoru..."said Yahiko in a whisper.
"You killed my mother! Just because she wouldn't do your bid!"said Kaoru.
"And she got what she deserved"said Shishio showing no sign of emotion toward Kaoru. Kaoru was enraged. She felt tears coming down her cheeks her fists were in a tight grip. Shishio tried to say something else, but Kaoru interupted.
"I don't want to hear any of your bull shit!"said Kaoru. She ran to Shishio getting ready to punch him. She knew that he was much stronger than her, but she didn't care.
As she aimed her fist to Shishio's face, she felt his hands grab hold of her. They felt cold and stiff to the touch. Kaoru tried to punch with her other hand but he blocked it with his other hand too.
Shishio then threw Kaoru against the wall. Kaoru layed there motionless, she opened her eyes a little bit and noticed Yahiko trying to stop him. But Shishio also threw him agaisnt the wall beside to where her father layed. Yahiko was out cold.
She then saw Shishio pull out a gun and aimed it to her. Kaoru closed her eyes waiting for him to shoot, but she heard a punch and someone fall. She opened her eyes and saw Kenshin rubbing his sore knuckles with Shishio on the floor. He wasn't out though.
"How dare you!"said Shishio standing up. Shishio looked at Kenshin and noticed the cross shaped scar across his face and red hair. Kenshin's eyes were amber.
"You will fight me"said Kenshin in a low voice. Kaoru had never seen this side of Kenshin before. As they went into stance they heard guards coming their way. Shishio looked at Kenshin and said,
"I will fight you soon...Himura"said Shishio. Kaoru didn't hear Shishio's last remark as she became unconscience. Kenshin looked stunned.
How does he...know me?thought Kenshin. He saw Shishio run past him and left the room running away from the guards. Kenshin saw them running after Shishio when they saw him exit the room. Kenshin then ran to Kaoru's side.
"Kaoru-dono! Kaoru-dono?"said Kenshin shaking Kaoru's shoulders to wake her up. Kaoru opened her eyes slowly. She looked at the lavendar eyes that were staring before her. She felt his arms around her back helping her sit up.
Kenshin looked at Kaoru. Her eyes beginning to flood with tears.
"Ken-...Kensh-...Ken-shin..."choked Kaoru trying to hold back her tears. Kenshin pulled Kaoru close to him and stroked her back.
"Just let it out..."he said slowly. After what Kenshin said Kaoru began to cry.
