Okie Doke, I know this was quick, but I got the right song going on and I have the whole story line in my head, so this is going to be a somewhat quick story. I let you guys know when I know how many more chappie's it'll be!

We Did It Wrong

Chapter 3

Wrong

'Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.' Kenshin constantly heard those thoughts coming from Hikaru. She was still in fox form. Aoshi and Naheka had been out all day, but at least Aoshi seemed to come in and out. Hikaru licked Naheka's face every now and then, but to no avail.

"What's wrong?" He asked her after everyone had gone to sleep. Hikaru turned to him, sniffed, then lay down next to Naheka.

'Path. Sleeping. Choice. Leash. Fate.' She kept saying things like that, and Kenshin couldn't understand what she was trying to say. 'Sensei. Leash. Sleep. Bad.' She calmed down enough to tell him that.

"Naheka is your leash?" Kenshin cocked his head, clueless. Hikaru nodded, then licked Naheka's face again. This time she stirred. Hikaru put her cold, wet nose on Naheka's neck, making her screech.

"Hikaru, how many times have I told you . . ." She got up to see Hikaru staring at her impatiently. "Oh, for crying out loud, go back to normal, would you?" Hikaru glowed, then changed back into a human.

"It's about time you woke up! You know I hate being like that for too long. Oh, and by the way, we screwed up!"

"What are you talking about?"

"He is what I'm talking about!" Hikaru jabbed her thumb at Aoshi. "Never mind, you'll figure it out by morning. I'm going back to the temple. That way, even if you do get knocked out again, at least I won't be stuck in the body of a fox until you wake up!" Hikaru shimmered and disappeared.

"What was all that yelling about?" Kaoru came in, rubbing her eyes. She sat next to Kenshin.

"Hikaru was angry because stupid Odei rammed all of his will into me, and since I was knocked out, the seal on her power broke, turning her into a fox." Naheka sighed. "And how the hell did we screw up? We did everything we were supposed . . ." She muttered to herself. Kaoru was awake now, upon hearing Naheka cuss.

"So you literally are her leash?" Kenshin asked.

After staring at him for a moment, Naheka nodded. "The seal on her power was shared between three of us, but . . . Odei happened. Now, I'm the only thing keeping Hikaru sane. If I get knocked out, her full power is unleashed. That is one scary kid, especially when she's pissed."

"Did Odei . . . kill the other two?" Kenshin asked, his arm over Kaoru's shoulders.

Naheka clenched her fists, and they started to bleed. "Someone found a plant that suppresses our powers and put in our dinner. Then Odei came. Hikaru wasn't a very skilled swordsman then, and Rin and Kazeka weren't strong enough to fight him themselves. He took out Hikaru and was about to kill her when they showed up. They kept him busy enough for Hikaru to recover some strength, but ended up killing them right in front of her eyes. Somehow, I guess since her power was under a seal to begin with, when they died, she recovered some of her power and was able to make him flee. I've never seen her so angry, and none of us thought that her own father would try to kill her."

"WHAT!" Kenshin stood up, suddenly angry.

"Yes, that man, Odei, is Hikaru's father, but he's shown himself to be our nemesis. I guess we should have listened to her when she said that he wasn't to be trusted. And she's the one with the Sight, so we should have really paid attention." Naheka punched the wall, leaving a hole. "If only we had listened and stayed away . . . Rin . . . and Kazeka . . . they'd both be . . ." She was crying.

"Master . . ." Hikaru had returned, and she carried something in her hands. Upon seeing it, Naheka calmed down. "Even if you had listened, it would have happened anyway. I should have realized that and trained harder even before that night. But, I thought it could be avoided."

"Is that . . . the Eye of the Elements!" Kenshin asked. Hikaru nodded.

"Rin and Kazeka rest here now. That way, their souls will still live on, even though their bodies are dead. If their souls live, the world can still survive. This is how we plan on ending the cycle. But, ever since we retrieved it, it hasn't left the Temple. Until now, but I'll take it back later. Master, they have a plan to help fix this mess and put Fate back on the right Path." She handed Naheka the Eye, and then sat down, her face serene. As Naheka sat down as well, the Eye glowed with a light that filled the room. Everyone heard whispers.

When Kenshin woke up, Kaoru was in his arms, and the other two girls were nowhere in sight. Aoshi was still unconscious. Blushing, he got up without waking Kaoru, and walked outside. (This was before they got together and had Kenji, btw)

"Focus your anger. Hit me with everything, Hikaru! Don't hold back just because I'm your sensei!" Naheka and Hikaru were fighting with real Katana. The weight didn't seem to bother them at all, though, and they were moving so fast that even sometimes Kenshin had a hard time following. After about fifteen minutes, Naheka made it harder.

"So, she knows the liquid-flow technique." Aoshi was standing next to Kenshin.

"Oh, you're awake!" Aoshi ignored his comment. He was watching Hikaru. She swung her sword and Naheka disappeared, but Hikaru did a full circle, and Naheka was forced to block. Both were smiling.

"The technique itself is hard, but understanding and attacking one using such a technique without missing is harder. You learned that yourself, didn't you, Battousai?"

"Come on, I told you not to call me that!" Kenshin was frowning. Hikaru started an assault on Naheka, who defended until she found an opening, then pushed Hikaru back. It went back and forth for a while. Then, Hikaru slipped, and Naheka swung, but Hikaru used her shoe to block and touched her sword to Naheka's neck.

"Gotcha." Hikaru smiled. Naheka smiled back. They stood up straight and bowed to each other. Neither were breaking a sweat, even though it was the middle of summer. Then they giggled.

"Almost there. Pretty soon, we'll have to use puppets just to get stronger!"

"Come on, I'm nowhere near where you are! That was just a fluke!" They were walking to the town temple.

"Well, you've had several flukes in the past month, now haven't you? Admit it, you're up to my level already!"

"That girl . . . Hikaru . . ." Aoshi said to himself.

YOU BASTARD! GO FOR NAHEKA ALREADY! Like I said, it's WRONG! We screwed up. That's why this chapter is entitled WRONG! R&R, Naheka, please don't kill me!

Oh, yeah, to reviewers, This was done about 10 minutes after I posted chappie 2, so this is a last minute addition.

This is an Aoshi-Oc pairing, and I will make sure to read your guys stories, since you asked to nicely. See you later!
