"Kaoru-dono!"Kenshin yelled. Shishio started laughing this was all very amusing to him.
"I wish you luck, Himura!"Shishiogot into hiscar and drove away.
Without hesitation Kenshin ran to the dojo. The fire was getting worse. He opened the shoji door and ran in. Fire was spreading and the ceiling was collapsing. Wood was coming down.
"Kaoru-dono!"yelled Kenshin. He ran down the hall holding his arm infront of his nose trying not to inhale the smoke.
He looked in the kitchen, she wasn't there, or Yahiko.
He ran down the hall again and opened the shoji door to Yahiko's room. He could barely see anything. The room was filled with fire and smoke. Kenshin ran in.
"Yahiko! Kaoru-dono!"Kenshin yelled again. There was no answer. Kenshin began to cough, smoke was coming through his lungs. Kenshin made a quick dash out of the room and tried another.
He opened the shoji door, and found Kaoru on the floor coughing, she was surrounded by fire.
"Ahh, that was a pretty good meal for a fast food place"said Yahiko walking down the sidewalk his hands in his pants pockets.
He felt a cool breeze come in, he inhaled it gratefully. It smelled like fall air, he loved that time of the year.
Yahiko was inhaling the air, when he smelled smoke.
"Jeez!cough Wheres that smoke coming from?"he asked himself covering his nose from the smoke. As he walked farther he saw that a house was on fire, but it wasn't any house it was a dojo, and that was where Yahiko lived,"OH MY GOD!"Yahiko yelled running towards the dojo,"Kaoru!"
Yahiko opened the shoji door, but smoke and fire was blocking his way to go inside. The heat was intense, it made Yahiko sweat just standing there.
Yahiko tried the front door, it was also blocked by the fire. Yahiko froze he didn't know what to do! He then ran across the street and knocked on the neighbor's door.
As the door opened. Yahiko yelled his lungs out,"CALL 911 MY HOUSE IS ON FIRE!"
"I've already done so"said the neighbor. She walked outside with Yahiko. Yahiko looked at the fiery dojo.
"Kaoru...I can't lose you"he said to himself.
"Kaoru-dono!"yelled Kenshin running to Kaoru's side.
"Ken-cough cough-shiincough"Kaoru struggled to talk.
"Don't talk you'll inhale more smoke. Try and hold your breath"Kenshin said.
"I can't cough help itcough cough"she said. Kenshin helped Kaoru sit up. He put her in his arms securing her.
"I'll get us out Kaoru"Kenshin said. Kaoru looked up at him.
He didn't say the honorific..
As Kenshin walked out of the room, part of the ceiling started to fall. Kenshin tried to jump out of the way, but it was too late.
He and Kaoru were stuck under the wood.
Misao had just come out of the mall, she had decided to go shopping by herself. She had in her hands two bags filled with new clothes.
She wentto the edge of the sidewalk and called a taxi.
"TAXI!"she yelled. She knew for sure that the taxi driver heard her.
The taxi backed up and stopped waiting for Misao to get in. She closed the door behind her, but it was suddenly opened once more.
In came Aoshi, as handsome as ever. He had on baggy black jeans with a dark blue long sleeved shirt with a small 'nike' symbol in the middle. Misao lovingly gazed at his face.
"Where to?"asked the taxi driver. Misao shook her head a little, and told him her home address,"How about you boy?"the taxi driver said facing towards Aoshi.
"Koji's Car Shop"he said.
The taxi began to drive to Aoshi's destination since it was closer. Misao just sat thereplaying withthe hem of her skirt.
She was wearing a skirt that went down to the middle of her thighs, it was plain black. Her top was a red turtle neck which had long sleeves that covered half of her fingers. She wore a golden heart necklace around her neck which shimmered everytime she made a sudden move. Her hair was in a braid as usual.
"Ummm...hi Aoshi-san. You might not remember me, but my name-"
"Hello to you too Misao-san"Aoshi said. He didn't look at Misao. His voice was stern. Misao felt giddy. He knew her name!
"How are you?"she asked. Aoshi didn't say anything. Wow, he wasn't the type that would want to start a conversation. Misao decided to change the subject,"Well I heard that you made it to the Kendo team. Congratulations. My friend, Kaoru-san has made it in also"she said shyly.
"Arigato"he said. He didn't say anything else. Misao sighed upsettingly. This wasn't going anywhere, she decided to stay quiet and face the window.
Aoshi looked at Misao. There was something about her, that was different. She wasn't like the other girls, Aoshi liked that. He was somewhat attracted to her.
After a few minutes of silence the taxi driver stopped.
"That'll be 23.75"the taxi guy said holding out his hand. Aoshi gave the man the money. Misao didn't say anything. Aoshi got out of the car, but faced Misao.
"You want a ride home? It would cost you more than 40 to get home with a taxi"Aoshi said. Misao widened her eyes. Those five words made her melt!
"Uhh sure"she said trying not to sound all giddy. She stepped out of the car and grabbed her bags.
The taxi drove away as Misao followed behind Aoshi. He walked into the car shop and payed the man at the counter.
"You're car is ready Shinimori-sama"the man said handing Aoshi the keys. Aoshi nodded not saying anything. He walked out and walked towards his car. Wow! What a car Aoshi had.
The car was a camero. It was shiny jet black. Misao opened her mouth a little stunned of the beautiful car.
She opened the passenger door and went in placing her bags infront of her on the floor. Inside the car, the seats were leather they were light tan. The whole inside of the car smelled like leather. Misao liked that kind of smell. She turned to Aoshi who was turning on the ignition.
"Do you know my-"
"I know what it is, I heard you telling the taxi driver"he interupted her. Misao closed her mouth.
Aoshi pulled out of the car shop and headed towards Misao's house.
As he drove, Misao lookedat her surroundings, she admired his car. A smile crept on her face.
"This must of cost a lot of money"she said. Aoshi nodded.
"I recieved it as a birthday gift when I turned 16"he said. Misao smiled.
"Oh, so I see you've had this for about a year then"Misao said. Aoshi nodded. He didn't take his eyes off the road.
Soon Aoshi had arrived at Misao's house. She got out and grabbed her bags. Aoshi saw that she lived in a two story house. It was white with a black roof, it was rather plain to him. Flowers and bushes surrounded the house, the curtains that hung on the windows were red it brought out the white on the house.
"Arigato Aoshi-san for driving me home"Misao said blushing lightly.
"I'll see you tomorrow then"he said. Misao nodded. She closed the car door and backed up a few steps. She watched as he drove away.
When he was out of sight and couldn't hear the motor anymore she walked towards her house swinging her bags lightly with a smile on her face.
Kenshin became conscience again, he saw that Kaoru, who was next to him, was out though.
Kenshin tried to move, but he couldn't, the wood was too heavy.
Is this the end? Is this where I die? Kenshin kept asking himself. Suddenly, he heard coughing coming from Kaoru.
"Kaoru-dono?"he said, his voice was raspy.
"cough cough Ken-shinncough cough"Kaoru said. She continued to cough. The smoke was just too much for her.
"We're going...to get out of here..."Kenshin said. He was struggling under the pile of wood. He just couldn't quit. If he died then Kaoru would die also, and that was something he wouldn't let happen.
To much to Kenshin's surprise he somehow managed his way out. His eyes began to get watery from the smoke. He reached over to Kaoru and moved some of the wood off of her.
He grabbed her arms and pulled her out slowly. He helped her sit up. She began coughing again. Kenshin pulled her closer to him. He picked her up and stood up, his knees were wobbly. Kaoru was coughing uncontrollably against Kenshin's chest.
He ran towards the front door, and kicked it down. He ran down the wooden steps and saw Yahiko, the firemen, and the ambulance. The firemen were hosing the dojo down, but it was no use, the fire was too strong.
Kenshin fell to his knees still holding Kaoru in his arms. She had become unconscience again.
"Kaoru! Kenshin?"yelled Yahiko running to them. The paramedics took Kaoru out of his arms, and as they did Kenshin could see nothing, but blurriness. He soon dropped to the ground and was out cold.
