AC: Hey guys! arigato for the reviews...ummm on with chappie 6!

i don't own rk


Kenshin didn't go to school the next day, he wanted to be with Kaoru and he wanted to make sure Shishio wouldn't come back, but he kept thinking how Shishio knew his name.

"Shishio...hmmm"mumbled Kenshin to himself. Kaoru was next to Kenshin she couldn't stop thinking about him.

Why is he here? Why did he stay here with me instead of going to school?she kept asking herself.

Yahiko was somewhere in the hospital with his bokkon practicing, he saidwould become stronger to defeat Shishio.

Kaoru's father was not healing at all, she wondered if her father had just given up.

It was late afternoon, and Kenshin still wouldn't leave Kaoru.

"Kenshin...maybe you should go home now, I'm fine"said Kaoru. Kenshin put his hand over Kaoru's.

"Theres no way I'll leave you here alone, I promise to protect you from Shishio"said Kenshin. He smiled. Kaoru just looked at Kenshin, she felt a tear trickle down her cheek.

"Ken-"

Suddenly a moan was heard from Kaoru's father. Kaoru grabbed her father's hand,"Father?"she said quickly. Kamiya-san opened his eyes slowly, his eyes getting used to the light.

At that time Yahiko came in, he dropped his bokkon and rushed to his father.

"Father, how are you feeling?"asked Yahiko.

"I've felt better"he said in a low shaky voice. Kaoru's eyes were filled with tears,"Now now my little Kaoru, don't shed tears for your old man"he said wiping Kaoru's tears.

Kenshin stood there watching the Kamiya Family. They looked so caring for one another. Kamiya-san looked at his surroundings and saw Kenshin.

"Well, whos this?"he asked. Kaoru stood up.

"Father, this is Kenshin...my best friend"she said. Kenshin was a bit perplexed at the word 'best friend.' Kamiya-san chuckled lightly.

"You were always so quick at making friends"he said to Kaoru. There was silence upon the room until Kamiya-san spoke,"Kenshin...take care of of my daughter and son. They mean the world to me"he said.

Kaoru gasped.

"Father! You can't!"said Yahiko tightning his grip to his father's hand. Kamiya-san turned his head to his only son.

"Don't worry about me, you're father has been into so much"he said. Yahiko looked at his father, he could barely see Kamiya-san due to the tears that filled up in his eyes,"You're the man of the family now Yahiko."

Kamiya-san patted his son's shoulder.

"I love you Father"said Yahiko. Yahiko had never been like this. He never felt so much emotion, but he just had to tell his father.

Kamiya-san smiled.

"And I too"he said. He turned his head to Kaoru. He saw his daughter crying silently.

"Fath-...father..."she said not getting the words out.

"Hush my little Kaoru, you've grown to be a brilliant, beautiful young lady. You remind me of your mother"Kamiya-san's smile grew by just looking at her,"You are now the master of the Kamiya Kasshin Style, train well and take care of the do...jo"Kamiya-san's voice began to fade,"I love you...both."

Kaoru and Yahiko looked at their father pleading him to not go. Soon the heart monitor didn't beep at Kamiya-san's heartbeat, it was still. Kaoru could see her father was not breathing his chest wasn't rising to recieve air.

It was the end for Kamiya-san.


Kaoru's world fell apart. She just lost the most important person in her life. Her heart just felt like it stopped and she couldn't overpower the tears that were streaming down her already pale cheeks. Life wasn't going so well for her and Yahiko.

...This can't be happening...first mother...now father, this just isn't real, those words were going through Kaoru's mind over and over.

To Kenshin she looked like a person that had just lost her mind and heart. She was still, her face was white and tears just kept coming down. She didn't talk or eat the next day.

"Kaoru-dono, are you ok?"asked Kenshin, BAKA! What kind of question was that! Ofcourse shes not ok! Jeezes! Kenshin mentally kicked himself and made a note to self to think before opening his big hole that he calls a mouth.

BakaJapanese word for, idiot

Kaoru turned to Kenshin, her face was still she was still struck with shock. Kenshin knew what this felt like. He lost both of his parents also. He grabbed her hand and gave it a gentle sqeeze.

"You're father wouldn't want you to be this way or your mother...just like my parents, they wouldn't want me to be a dead weight mourning every single day of my life. Sure we would mourn for them, but we would move on with our lives and still keep the best of memories within our hearts, like this one has"he spoke. Every word he said was with emotion and sorrow.

Kaoru's face began to soften.

"Ken...sshin"Kaoru's voice sounded weak she was so exhausted from the night before, crying her heart out. She moved into Kenshin's arms and just planted her face on his shoulder, she cried and cried until her tears were no more.

As the day began to end, Kenshin still had Kaoru in his arms, she was emotionally drained and fell asleep. It felt so right to Kenshin to have her in his arms. The sound of her breathing was so relaxing. He decided it was time to leave the hospital they had been there for two days now.

"Kaoru-dono?"Kenshin softly spoke to Kaoru. He pulled her bangs out of her face and he discovered a sleeping angel. He spoke her name again, and this time she opened her eyes slowly.

"Hmm?"she said sleeply.

"Its time for you and Yahiko to go home and rest"he said. Kaoru nodded slowly, she rubbed her eyes getting used to the light.

Kenshin arose and woke up Yahiko also and it appeared to be just in time because he was about to have horrible dreams of his parents.


Kaoru was back in school the next week, they had already buried her father during the weekend. It was time for Kaoru to go on with her life, as so with Yahiko.

Kaoru felt slightly happy anyway she was rid of Shishio now and she could start anew.

"Kaoru-san trade me your chips for my apple"requested Misao to Kaoru one day in the cafeteria. Kaoru raised an eyebrow.

"Why?"she asked curiously with a smirk on her face.

"Nothing, I just wanted to trade"lied Misao.

"Oh quit you're lying Misao-san!"said Chihiro.

"I'm not lyin'!"Misao said quickly.

"Misao-san whats up with you? Thats the third time you asked me for my chips"Kaoru said.

"She has a crush on Shinimori-sama, everyday she hands him chips, 'cause she knows that's his favorite snack"said Keiko pointing to where Aoshi was sitting. He was talking to Kenshin and Sanosuke.

Kaoru got a quick glimpse of Aoshi and noticed his eyes. A shiver went downher spine.

...those eyes look so cold, theres no emotion on his face either...how could Misao have a crush on a guy with that face? thought Kaoru.

Misao did a simple sigh, her eyes were glittering at Aoshi's gaze. Keiko, Myame, Chihiro, and Kaoru just looked at her with their mouths open and their eyes wide. They were wondering what made Aoshi steal Misao's heart.

Over by Kenshin's table,

"Hey Kenshin"said Sanosuke nudging his elbow against Kenshin's arm. Kenshin didn't respond because he was thinking of Shishio.

"Kenshin?"

"..." The silence made Sanosuke pissed. He punched his friend in the face trying to wake him up from his dream world, but Sanosuke's punch was little too rough.

"ORO!"yelled Kenshin, swirling eyes and all. He was dead flat on the ground.

"Kenshin what the -"

"Ken-san!"called out Megumi, she ran over and kneeled next to him and helped him sit up. Megumi as you know had a crush on Kenshin,"Are you ok Ken-san?"asked Megumi, she had the fakest puppy dog eyes on her face.

Kenshin rubbed the back of his head.

"I'm alright Megumi-do-"

"Oh Ken-san! I thought you would of gotten severly hurt by this Roosterhead's barbaric punch!"said Megumi pulling Kenshin closer to her.

Kaoru saw what was going on. She felt slightly jealous, but just couldn't understand why such a person would go beyond limits.

"Kaoru-san...are you ok?"asked Keiko. She could see that Kaoru's face was becoming red and she gripped her fist. Suddenly she blew.

"KENSHIN! NO BAKA!How could you let that slimy girl touch you!"Kaoru yelled standing up from her table.

No bakayou idiot

"Well from the looks of you, you don't look like nothing else, but a tanuki"said Megumi,"Ohohohohoh"Megumi's laugh was very irratating, Kaoru saw fox ears pop out of her head.

Tanukitom boy(something along those lines)

Kaoru's face was red hot now. How dare she insult Kaoru!

"Well lets see what a tanuki could do to that face of yours!"said Kaoru running over to Megumi with her fists in a tight grip.

Within inches of reaching Megumi's face Sanosuke pulled Kaoru back, holding onto her arms.

"Easy Jou-chan! She's not worth your time"said Sanosuke. Kaoru couldn't get out of Sanosuke's grip, but oh boy did she try! Megumi began to laugh histerically now.

"Ohohohoho! You also look like a racoon girl!"stated Megumi. Oh god, now Megumi had done it.

"You little bitch! I'm going to kill you!"screamed Kaoru.

"What did you call me?"Megumi was pissed now. Megumi raised her fists and went after Kaoru, but was stopped by Kenshin also having a firm grip on Megumi's arm.

"Now now! This one thinks we shouldn't fight"said Kenshin. Megumi relaxed a bit as forKenshin tolet go.

"You're right Ken-san, fighting isn't the right way to solve our problems, but first let me attend to that sire cheek of yours. I'll gladly play doctor with you Ken-san. Ohohohohoh!"laughed Megumi.

"Oro?"

Kaoru was as fiesty as ever! Sanosuke was loosing his grip, he never knew Kaoru could be so strong!

"Why you little whore!"yelled Misao from her table. Aoshi noticed the voice and turned his head to Misao.

"Misao-san, this isn't your fight"said Myame.

"If that whore messes with my best friend then its my fight too!"said Misao walking up to Megumi.

"Look whos talking...weasel girl"said Megumi. Where does Megumi get these comebacks?

"Weasel girl!"yelled Misao. Now her face was boiling hot. Misao ran towards Megumi, but suddenly Aoshi stepped in her way.

Misao slid to a stop.

Aoshi...thought Misao. God! He was so damn handsome!

"Don't get into this Makimachi-san"he said firmly.

Misao just looked at him, and just stood there watching the fight between Megumi and Kaoru.

Everyone in the cafeteria just watched the whole fight.

"Bitch!"

"Tanuki!"

Finally the girls became tired and started to relax a bit. Sanosuke and Kenshin let go of the two girls. Their arms felt sore from holding Kaoru and Megumi.

Kaoru saw that Kenshin's arm was sore, she could see him rub his red arm.

Megumi-dono is stronger than I thought...oro!thought Kenshin.

"Kenshin!"yelled Kaoru running to Kenshin's side,"Your arm, its red, are you ok?"she asked.

"Sure fine! My arm isn't sore either!"Sanosuke gritted through his teeth rubbing his arms also.

"I'm fine Kaoru-dono, my arms will feel better later on today"said Kenshin. Kenshin looked into Kaoru's blue pools as Kaoru looked into his lavendar pools.

"Oh! Ken-san!"said Megumi hugging Kenshin. Great! She always has to come and stick her nose where shes not wanted. Kaoru became upset...again.

"Get off him you little whore!"said Kaoru trying to relieve her anger.

"Look whos talking tanuki! You had you're hands all over Ken-san"stated Megumi,"Ohohohohoho"Megumi laughed once more.

"Why you little-"

Kaoru was interupted by the bell, lunch was over and it was time to go on to next class.

"This is good-bye Ken-san. I'll see you later"Megumi held her face right next to Kenshin's cheek. Megumi walked passed Kaoru flipping her hair into Kaoru's face. Kaoru wrinkled her nose.

Kaoru stuck her tongue at Megumi, "Oh and Ken-san?"asked Megumi. Kenshin looked up to Megumi waiting for her to speak,"Remind me to check that cheek of yours...ohohohohoho"Megumi laughed as she disappeared.

"ORO?"

Suddenly Kenshin felt someone punch his head.

"KENSHIN! NO BAKA! How could you let her do that to you?"said Kaoru furiously.

"But Kaoru-dono!-"

"Jeez Kenshin I never knew you could be such a baka!"said Kaoru.

"Oro?" Kaoru giggled.

"I never knew you could be so funny either, whats with the'oro'?"she asked with a smile. Kenshin just looked at her, he could stare at her all day, but he didn't say anything as a response to Kaoru's question he just couldn't help himself with the 'oro.'

Kaoru smiled,"Well catch ya later Kenshin"said Kaoru running to meet with her friends her ponytail swaying side by side which was glistening from the cafeteria lights.

My Kaoru...

"Kenshin! Why are you just standing there? We're gonna be late for our next class"called Sanosuke with Aoshi by his side. Kenshin shook his head a little.

"Oh sorry Sano...coming!"called out Kenshin walking over to Sanosuke and Aoshi.
