"Yes, I'm going to the hospital now. Why can't you say through the phone! Is there something wrong with Koru's health? Come on... fine! I'll be there in a second." Misao said through her cell phone anxiously.

Battousai happened to passed by and heard her words. His mind stopped when he heard Kaoru's name. Immediately, he turned and stopped Misao.

"What happen to Kaoru? Where is she now?" He asked Misao while gripping on her wrist tightly.

"My hand! Let go! Stay away from her for the time being! It's all because of you!" Misao shouted to him.

"Tell me. Where is her now?" Battousai gripped more tightly.

"Fine! Let go! She's in the hospital now! I'm in a hurry. Let go!" Misao exclaimed.

"I'm going too and you are not going to stop me." Battousai said and pulled Misao with him to his car and drove to the hospital.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Where is my brother? Did anyone inform him that his wife is in the hospital! Call him! Find him immediately!" Sayo shouted through the phone to the secretary of her brother.

She had never been this angry before. Kaoru was in the hospital yet her brother had not appeared at all. She tried calling his cell phone but it was always off.

"Sayo dear, we are in the hospital. Lower your voice if you do not wish to be asked out. Calm down." Shouzo calmed her down with a kiss on her nose.

"Things are going bad... really bad..." Sayo said as she rested her head on his shoulder.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amakusa had been in bed the whole night with a woman he picked at the club. Her eyes were almost as expressive as Kaoru's. Thinking that may discard Kaoru behind his mind, he bedded her in all ways but none helped. It always came out to be the same. He was always moaning for Kaoru's name, thinking of her everything.

"Here's a thousand. Leave." Amakusa said to the naked woman in bed.

"But I thought you liked my service... Aren't you going to keep me a little longer?" She replied and licked her lips when she saw his equally naked body.

She knew that they were up for a wild night the moment they both set eyes on each other. She knew who he was immediately. Indeed, they went straight to a hotel after some drinks. She had never seen someone as big and long like him but his member was not as hard as it was supposed to be. They had been in different positions. She was already tired and wanted to end but he continued. What made her unsatisfied was he putted on the condom when she told him that she was on pill.

Flashback:

"I'm on pill. You can save that condom... I want to feel you..."She said lying naked on the bed ready to be taken.

"You are not worth it." Amakusa said and thrust deeply.

End of Flashback

Amakusa had not allowed her to touch his member all the night. All he did was fucking her and released, moaning a different woman name. A name of Kaoru. Dejected, she dressed up, took the money and left.

Amakusa sat on bed. He had taken many women taken, many but not once was Kaoru. He had locked her up in the mansion. Wanting to know what she had been doing and how she was, he switched on his cell phone. Immediately, messages alighted and calls activated.

"Yes." He answered.

"Mr. Shougo, you wife had been admitted into the hospital yesterday." His secretary replied.

Amakusa had hung up the phone instantly. He wore his clothes and left to his car. He was feeling worried. He had never thought that Kaoru would end up in the hospital again. He speeded through the roads.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Misao! Took you long... Battousai. Why are you here?" Sano asked when he saw him behind Misao.

"I've came to see Kaoru. Where is she?" He answered.

"She's in her ward, sleeping." Megumi appeared from Kaoru's ward.

"Okay. Now that I'm here. What's wrong with Kaoru?" Misao asked impatiently.

"Her report is out. It is stated that she is well and healthy but..." Megumi said.

"But what? Don't hang us fox! Say it!" Sano said anxiously.

"She's one month pregnant." Megumi continued.

Everyone dropped their mouth. It was just then that Amakusa appeared.

"So you finally decided to appear after a day. Is Kaoru all that to you?!" Misao shouted to Amakusa, earning a glare.

"Misao. I've told her about it and she is going to keep it. Mr. Shougo, I need to have a word with you privately in my office. Follow me. " Megumi said, stopping Misao shouts.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaoru had expected that. She had not had her regular flow and her appetite was getting worse. In fact she was happy that another growing body was in her and glad that the baby was not created during the last occurrence.

Megumi had asked her whether she wanted a abortion but she declined that option. She will not kill the innocent one. She had always wanted to be a mother since young. She remembered Kenshin picking out name for their baby if it's a boy and she'll pick if it's a girl.

Although it was Amakusa who fathered the baby, she would still carry on. The baby was created during the confession night of their love. Even if he didn't love her anymore or didn't ever love her before, she would keep it no matter how difficult life would be.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Kaoru had wanted me to give this to you on her behalf. I'll be representing her." Megumi said as she reached a file on her desk.

Amakusa opened up and widened his eyes. It was a divorce form.

"Don't even think about it." He said as he threw the file to the bin.

"I believe that you have no other choice. You are caging her like a bird. She wanted to fly but you locked her up. You are hurting her internally. It's the best for both parties." Megumi continued.

"Whether a caged bird or not, she'll always be mine." Amakusa said.

"I don't think so. Since she had gotten her lost memory back, there is no point keeping a woman who is not going to be the same again. You do not deserve her. Let her go before it is too late else you'll regret." Megumi continued with a stern tone.

"I regret nothing I've done and said. What I saw and heard were proofs and no one is stopping me from keeping her as mine, even forever as a doll or would you like it better if I named her as my pleasure slave?" Amakusa said with a evil smirk and left.

Deep in Amakusa's heart was crushing. He didn't want anyone to his soft side for Kaoru. The only one that is given the privilege was Kaoru. The words he said to her cousin were tearing him apart. He knew that Kaoru was anything but a pleasure slave. He love her every bit. Nothing about Kaoru made him disgusted. She was his angel to him.

Sayo hit her brother hard on his chest the moment he stepped out of Megumi's office. She blamed him on everything that had happened. They had heard their conversation. All but Battousai was there. The moment he heard about the divorce, he left to Kaoru's ward.

Battousai was feeling happy. He would finally have the chance with Kaoru but observing the situations, there may be some problems. He had noticed that Kaoru's husband had been arriving at the last minute when the news of Kaoru in the hospital was released.

From that moment on, he realized that he needed to do something. He needed to save Kaoru from her husband, a man who does not cherish her, a man who does not believe her and a man who does not treat her like a princess. His dead brother would have been a better husband if he is still alive.

Looking at the sleeping Kaoru, he gently brushed her hair off her face and went out of the ward.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kaoru heard from Megumi that Amakusa was not going to sign the divorce paper. Leaving her with no choice, she continued to live in the Shougo mansion, a place where she once had her wonderful times with a man she learned to love over the months.

Being forced to stay in the hospital for a week for safety purpose by Amakusa's order, Kaoru was finally let off and able to return home. She at first thought that there may still be a little concern from Amakusa to her as he wanted her to prolong the stay in the hospital but...

Flashback

"I want her to stay in the hospital and I'll be the only one who will be fetching her at the end of this week." Amakusa said to Megumi.

"She is fine. There is nothing wrong with her. Please do not waste the space in our hospital. There are more patients who need them more compared to a healthy Kaoru and my cousin doesn't like to stay in the medically-smelt place for more than a minute." Megumi explained.

"Fine then. If that's the case, give her a full body check-up. Test her blood and see whether they are polluted with deadly disease." Amakusa said with an expressionless tone and left.

End of Flashback

Kaoru had heard everything inside. They were standing too closely and talking a little loud. To think that he was concern was wrong. He was actually thinking that she may have gotten some disease after he thought that she had slept with Battousai.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Amakusa had extended Kaoru's stay in the hospital but due to rejections, he had no choice but to request for Kaoru to have a full body check-up with blood tested. He knew what Megumi was thinking but it was not his intentions. He merely wanted Kaoru to rest a little longer before going back home again.

To him, a healthy Kaoru who had fainted twice was not a small problem. He was worried for her health. He wanted to know what was wrong with her body so that he could find ways to cure her.

Never would he know that Kaoru was pregnant with his child. After discussing with the group, Megumi had agreed on Kaoru's request of not telling Amakusa of her current condition.

Amakusa had fetched Kaoru personally from the hospital. The report of her health clearly stated that she was healthy. The ride home was quiet. Only the soft breathing of Kaoru's was heard while she was sleeping. That was the only chance Amakusa had to caress her smooth face.

'What is wrong with you? Can't you tell me? I'm sorry to have hurt you but you are the one who left me with no choice. I wanted you so badly. I treated you like I've never treated to others before. Am I that bad? Why can't you even look into my eyes when you are awake? Did I really hurt you that badly? Kaoru....' Amakusa thought as he laid a soft kiss on her forehead and carried her out of the car and up to their room.

Not wanted her to sleep uncomfortably, he took off her clothes. His eyes roamed her naked body. Her pale body shone in the dark. Her curves were still there. She was still his beautiful wife. He trailed his fingers up her milky thigh and rested on her nested covered womanhood. He missed her scent and her taste. Roaming her body for a few minutes, he put on his sleeping shirt over her body and covered Kaoru with the blanket.

All these while, Kaoru had been awake. She felt his touches. They were gentle, so gentle that she wanted to cry out. He was still the man who she loved. The soft side was only showed to her. She cried when he left.

'Don't worry my baby. Although you do not have your father's love, mummy will promise you that you'll have double love from me. You will be my light, my life support.' Kaoru thought as she touches her yet-swollen tummy.

Amakusa had gone straight to his study room and only came out in the morning to prepare to work. When he went into his room, Kaoru was still sleeping. Quietly, he took his prepared clothes and left.

Never did he know that it will be the last time that he will be seeing Kaoru.
