"Alright! Class! I've chosen a student to join the Kendo team"said Arisuke-sensei wednesday afternoon.
The class stood in a line as they listened to their P.E. coach.
"You're probably going to get in Kaoru-san!"said Misao, she sounded so happy for her friend. Kaoru showed half a smile. Would she really make it?
"Kamiya Kaoru, welcome to the team!"called out Arisuke-sensei. Everyone clapped for Kaoru including Kenshin. Kaoru stepped out of line. A smile crept upon her face.
Her teacher came up to Kaoru.
"Congrats Kamiya, I expect skill in the future"she said with a smile. She seemed proud of the choice she made. Misao chirped and whistled very loudly.
"YAY! KAORU-SAN! WOOO!"she screamed. Kaoru showed a fake smile to Misao.
Wow shes loud...thought Kaoru.
After P.E. Kenshin came up to Kaoru.
"Congrats Kaoru-dono, welcome to the team"he said cheerfully. Kenshin stuck out his hand. Kaoru shook his hand. It felt rough, but she loved the touch.
"Arigato"she said. She put on a smile.
"So then...I'll see you later"Kenshin added. Kaoru nodded her head.
School was over, and Kaoru felt relieved. She had so much homework. She carried in her arms two text books, they wouldn't fit in her bookbag so she carried them.
Suddenly Kaoru tripped over a dent on the sidewalk and fell on the cold, hard cement. Books went flying everywhere. Kaoru cursed under her breath.
"Mou!"she said.
mou damn (i think)
She sat up and just sat there just looking at her books. She didn't feel like doing anything she just wanted a nice bath and to get some rest.
"This one thinks you need help"said a charming familiar voice from behind Kaoru. She turned around her ponytail swayed to the movement of her head. She looked into lavendar pools.
"Kenshin...uhh...I'm fine"she said grabbing all of her books quickly, but she lost hold of them and dropped them. Kenshin chuckled. He kneeled down and picked up her text books.
"I'll help carry them home to you"he said. Kaoru rose to her feet as she pulled the strap of her bookbag onto her shoulder.
She blushed as she walked next to him. She turned her head to him and just looked at him. His face was so handsome, but she kept wondering how he had recieved his scar.
Kenshin noticed her looking at him so he faced her also.
"Is there something you want?"he asked. His voice as soothing as ever. Kaoru turned her head the other way quickly hiding her blush.
"No"was all she could say. He chuckled lightly.
"Whats so funny?"she said. Her hands on her hips.
"Nothing"he said. Kaoru's face became a light red.
"Theres somethin' when you say nothing"she said stopping dead in her tracks.
"Theres nothin' I promise"said Kenshin raising his hands defensively. Kaoru didn't say anything and began walking again.
As they walked through the gate of Kaoru's home, she took the text books.
"Arigato Kenshin, would you like to come in for some green tea?"she asked politefuly.
"Iie. Thats alright, this one is a bit tired from school, that he is"said Kenshin. Kaoru raised an eyebrow.
Iieno
'This one'? she thought of Kenshin's weird way of talking.
Kaoru nodded.
"Uhh..ok then..I'll see you tomorrow Kenshin"she said waving to Kenshin. He smiled back and headed out the gate.
When Kenshin opened the gate he spotted someone from the cornor of his eye. He faced that direction and spotted Shishio. A sudden jump came from Kenshin.
"Shishio.."he said slowly.
"We meet again little Himura"Shishio's voice was low. Kenshin just looked at him wondering in his mind why he was called 'little Himura',"Don't give me that look Himura. I see you don't remember"Shishio smiled an evil grin.
"Remember what?"asked Kenshin, his voice was low and serious. A sudden chuckle came from Shishio.
"Heres a hint; a part of me has been with you all these years..."Shishio pointed at his left cheek. Kenshin touched his left cheek and noticed his scar. Kenshin's eyes widened.
"Y-you..."Kenshin was lost for words. It was all clear to him now. Shishio was the one that tricked Kenshin into killing his parents.
"Yes. I believe you remember now"he said. Kenshin's mind was flooded from the haunted scenes when he was eight. The pain had come back. He remembered cleary from that night.
From the fighting, to the gun,...to the shots. It pained him so much.
Silence fell upon Kenshin. He lowered his head, his bangs covering his eyes trying to hold back the tears.
"I remember cleary also Himura"Shishio looked at Kenshin from head to toe, "You still look the same to-"
"Shut up! I don't want to hear it"Kenshin gripped his fists. Tears were formed from his eyes which dropped onto the sidewalk cement.
"You were eight years old, and you still pulled the trigger"said Shishio who kept continuing to talk.
Kenshin lifted up his head. His eyes were amber,"You want to fight Himura?"Shishio stood in his stance,"Then lets."
Kenshin went to stance also, he didn't have a sword with him, but he knew fighting with his barehands. His fists would do the talking.
Shishio made the first move, he ran towards Kenshin full strength. Then to Shishio's surprise he saw Kenshin disappear.
Shishio paused and heard movements behind him. As he turned around Kenshin punched Shishio on the right cheek. The punch made Shishio skid across the sidewalk.
"Not bad Himura"Shishio said rubbing his bruised cheek. Kenshin didn't say anything and was in stance...waiting.
Shishio made the first move again. Suddenly Shishio jumped above Kenshin and punched him twice on the chest. The blow caused Kenshin to fly backwards.
What strength...Kenshin thought.
"Hmm...I was planning to do this another day, but I decided maybe now would be the perfect time"Shishio said smiling. Kenshin's face was straight. What was he talking about?
Shishio pulled out a device out of his pants pocket. It was black with a red button on it (sounds like a cheesy device doesn't it?lol).
Kenshin widened his eyes a little, he had a bad feeling about this.
"The press of this button will end the Kamiya girls life and her brother"Shishio said smirking. Kenshin listened to every word Shishio said,"You see after Kaoru's father agreed to work with me I planted a bomb, a small bomb, enough for the dojo to go up in flames, incase they disobeyed me or I just don't have any need for them, and nows the perfect time...I want to see your true strength Himura" Kenshin became filled with rage.
"You're using Kaoru-dono as a decoy!"Kenshin said. Shishio laughed and nodded. Now Kenshin was pissed.
He stood up and quickly went to defense.
"Thats more like it Himura..."
Kaoru closed the shoji door after saying bye to Kenshin. She took off her shoes and placed her bookbag and text books in the living room.
She went into her room and layed on her futon just staring at her ceiling. She turned around on her side facing the window.
She could hear the wind chimes from the cool breeze that was blowing. Trees were rustling leaves were falling to the ground. Fall was coming.
Kaoru was nestled onto her futon. She felt warm and secure. She closed her eyes, and was fast asleep soon enough.
Yahiko was in the training room practing as usual. The dojo was quiet.
"I wonder if Kaorus home yet?"he said to himself. He wiped his forhead from the sweat and layed his bokkon in the training hall.
He walked down the hall and faced Kaoru's shoji door. He opened it slowly,"Kaoru?"he said. He lowered his eyes down to the futon and found Kaoru there sleeping. He decided not to wake her up.
He closed the shoji door slowly not wanting to disturb Kaoru's sleep. He walked back to the training hall and the only thing he heard was his stomach.
"Hnn...I wonder what we have in this dojo"Yahiko said holding his stomach. He walked down to the kitchen and opened the cupboard. Nothing.
Yahiko spent 2 minutes searching for food to eat, but there was nothing. Yahiko frowned. He decided to get some fast food.
He ran to his room and dressed into street clothes. Baggy jeans with a light green shirt on with the words 'Tokyo Dude' in black. He grabbed the money that he had and stuffed it in his pocket.
He wrote a short not to Kaoru saying that he was getting something to eat and would be back later. He placed it on the low dining table and went out the back way taking a short cut to the diner.
Kenshin and Shishio fought like never before. Kenshin had just suffered a blow to the stomach by Shishio's kick. Kenshin knew that Shishio was much stronger than him, he knew due to the blows, kicks, and punches he had recieved.
"I think you've had enough, Himura. You're too weak for now, I guess my threat wasn't enough"Shishio held the device in his hands,"Lets see if you have the strength to save your women Himura!"
Kenshin stood up and ran towards Shishio, but he wasn't fast enough. Shishio pressed the button. Kenshin felt a little movement from under his feet. He paused and a few seconds later the Kamiya Dojo bursted in flames...with Kaoru in it.
