Me: Hola a todos! Lamentablemente, Yami me hizo un conjuro que ahora no puedo hablar inglés. Pero ella traducirá todo lo que yo diga.

Yami Kikkay: Okay, she just said 'Hello to everyone! Unfortunately, Yami (me!) made me a spell and I can't speak or write on English.' That is a total lie; she's doing that because she is bored. But anyway, I will translate everything she says BUT the responses to the reviewers because she had already done that.

Sillymail: Thanks for reviewing!

Half-breed-demon-fox: crying Oh, how I missed you! I thought you had left me! WHAAAAA! Ahem, anyway, thanks for reviewing! Yeah, I wish someone would warm me up like that!

Blaizin Wolf: I absolutely agree with you there buddy; she wears a lot of purple. I'm glad that Monday is your last school day, school is EVIL! Oh wait, today is Monday so that means you finished school today… HOORRAY FOR YOU! And yes, please update soon!

Sims are awsome: O.O I am speechless… Gee, you don't have to hate me you know. It's not my fault I live here and school ends in May. You know what's not fair? You get to have a carnival and I don't! But you're right, I AM having fun! My dentist has to operate me, and I'm going to be in pain for a whole week. Do you call that fun! And I don't talk to myself you know! sob Anyway, thanks for showing me all the smiley faces you can do, now I can do them myself! And no, I haven't seen it, but you could have spoiled that part, I don't mind at all. Finally, are you my long lost sibling? We are pretty much alike, but I have never played the Sims.

Yami Kikkay: I don't think you are related in anyway.

Me: Okay, ahora tienes que decir que RK no me pertenece. Hazlo bien!

Yami Kikkay: I know! Well, she's telling me to do the disclaimer right. I always do it right, right? Here I go!

Disclaimer: I do not own RK. There's only one thing I own in this story besides our own characters. Now, I demand you to worship your food! Do it now!

Me: Ay Dios! Aqui esta el capi 6!

Yami Kikkay: He he… here's chappy 6!

Heart of a Demon

Chapter Six: Whisper

"When the story of Destiny is told, it will be written in blood..."

Without warning, Aoshi lunged forward with both Kodachis in hand. Kenshin steadied himself. 'This is it, I have to win and get him back to normal. For Kaoru's sake…'.

Aoshi: "Kaiten Kenbun Rokuden!"

Kenshin drew his own sword as Aoshi's Kodachis were about to hit him. The swords clashed in a fireworks show; the friction between the three could start a fire. The two warriors jumped away from the other. Kenshin sheathed his sword.

Aoshi: "Impressive. You managed to block my double Kodachi attack." (YK: Um, right. He has defeated you twice in the series; of course he would block it!)

Aoshi prepared for another attack. He ran towards Kenshin as fast as lightning. Kenshin tightened his grip on his sword, ready to draw it at any time. He was surprised though, when Aoshi stopped, dead on his tracks.

Aoshi: "You should train more. I can defeat you easily as you are now."

Kenshin: "What do you mean?"

Aoshi: "I hope you are stronger the next time we meet, so it will at least be a challenge."

Kenshin: "Hey, you're not running away are you? Stay and fight like a man!"
Aoshi: "My presence is required by my master. I must go. Next time, the girl will be mine…"

Kenshin: "Wait, don't go!"

Aoshi just disappeared into thin air. Kenshin stared at the spot where he had been standing.

Yahiko: "Kenshin, Kaoru woke up!"

Kenshin walked over them. He kneeled besides Kaoru and took her in his arms. He scanned her for any wounds; she just had a really ugly bruise in her neck. She looked at him lazily. She placed her hand on her neck, touching gently her bruise.

Kaoru: "Ow. What happened? Where's my brother?"

Kenshin: "He disappeared."

He helped her stand, grabbing her hands and letting her use his shoulders as support. She buried her face on his chest and started sobbing.

Kenshin: "… Its okay, we'll save him. Don't worry."

Kaoru: "I can't believe sob he wanted to kill me… why sob was he acting like that?"

Kenshin: "I don't know, I'm sure he was being controlled. But I promise you we will help him."

Kaoru: "Would you sniff do that?"

Kenshin: "Yeah."

Kenshin gave her a small reassuring smile (YK: He honestly smiled for the first time in the story! drool). Kaoru blushed as she admired how his lips curved in that smile; even if it was a little one, it was still beautiful. She whispered a small thank you and rested her head on his chest. Yahiko smirked; 'This will come in handy as blackmail later.' (YK: I luv this kid; so EVIL…)

Meanwhile, our favorite villain (YK: He he he…) walked through a familiar castle, followed by a mad Aoshi.

Lyhn: "Why couldn't you finish her sooner? Or why didn't you just bring her back! What a scolding we'll get from Hakkimaru! I wonder why he doesn't do it himself!"

Just then the walls shook violently.

Hakkimaru: "I HEARD THAT! NOW GET HERE, I'M TIRED OF WAITING!"

Lyhn: O.O "Let's go!"

Kenshin, Kaoru and Yahiko were sitting right where they had been the first time they got to that cave. It wasn't raining, but it was pretty dark by now. They decided to stay what was left of the night. Yahiko had taken one of the torches of the other room and they were sitting around it (YK: Is that possible?).

Yahiko: "You know, if we had left this place a little while ago, nothing of this would've happened."

Kenshin: "You're right Yahiko. But you were the first one to complain about your clothes being wet."

Yahiko: "Um, yeah but--"

Kenshin: "Kaoru, are you alright?"

Yahiko glared at Kenshin for interrupting him like that. He then looked at Kaoru himself. She had been quiet all that time.

Kaoru: "Huh? Yes, I'm fine. I think I'm going out for a little while. I need some fresh air."

Yahiko: "Should I go with you?" (YK: THE APOCALYPSE IS COMING! Yahiko is worried about Kaoru!)

Kaoru: "No, it's okay. I'll be fine."

Kaoru got up and went outside. Yahiko grinned; he thought this would be a great moment to avenge his earlier interruption. After all, he WAS going to say something smart that would have certainly shut Kenshin's mouth (YK: Yeah, right!).

Yahiko: "Kenshin, you've changed so much."

Kenshin: "How come?"

Yahiko: "You're a big softie now."

Kenshin: "What do you mean by that!"

Yahiko: "I'm just saying you're nicer now."

Kenshin: "That's nonsense Yahiko."

Yahiko: "I guess Kaoru has changed you a bit."

Kenshin: "Stop being such a vermin."

Yahiko: "So it is true!"

Kenshin: "Yahiko, I'm warning you…"

Yahiko: "Look, you're blushing!"

Kenshin: "Am not!"

Yahiko: "Are too!"

Kenshin: "Am not!"

Yahiko: "Are too!"

Kenshin: "Am not!"

Yahiko: "Are too!"

Kenshin stood and, after sending Yahiko a hideous glare, left for outside. Yahiko laughed. 'I wonder if he's going to see how she's doing?'. Yahiko had the gift of eavesdropping without being caught; he decided to make use of it.

'I always try to be who I really am inside me.

Sometimes, I think I lose everything around me.

But I still believe that I will reach the sky.

I sometimes dream that I can fly.'

Kaoru sat besides a tree, not to far away from the cave's entrance. Her voice echoed through the night; the stars shining brightly as if they enjoyed her words.

'I can feel as I fall…

But you catch me as I fall…

You came into my life as I was about to part.

You awoke a hidden feeling inside my heart.'

She was to busy making up her words that she didn't notice someone was watching her, silently leaning against a tree near her own.

'And even if I don't understand,

I'm just doing what I can.

And even when I am crushed inside,

I still love your smiles.'

The wind blew softly, moving a few strands of hair away from her face. She blushed as she remembered a really special smile…

giggle I hardly ever see your smiles…

You should do it more often, you'd bright up a million miles.

I've been in so many adventures far from my nest…

But to tell the truth, to be with you is the best.'

The figure walked slowly and quietly towards her. It stopped just behind her, waiting for her to finish.

'And I just want to know how to help you more than I do now.

Tell me just a little; I'm sure I can help you,

I just need to know how…'

She smiled as she said those last words. 'I really want to help him, as much as he has helped me…'

Young male voice: "Whoever you were talking to, I really envy him."

Kaoru was startled at hearing this voice. She slowly stood and turned around. She met a pair of bright crimson orbs and backed away.

Crimson eyed guy: "What's wrong? Say it again, it was beautiful…" (YK: blush Thank you!)

She wanted to run away, but his gaze would not let her. She was frozen in fear. This man was intimidating; his long raven hair waved in the air, his crimson orbs intensely looking at her. She wanted to run away, but she couldn't…

Crimson eyed guy: "Won't you say it again, for me?"

He reached and touched her cheek. He looked at her tenderly.

Crimson eyed guy: "Who were you secretly talking to Kaoru?"

Kaoru gasped. Her eyes widened and he grinned wickedly.

Crimson eyed guy: "Don't be scared."

Kaoru: "How do you know my name?"

Crimson eyed guy: "Oh, I know more than that. Your thoughts, your deepest secrets, your darkest desires…"

Kaoru: "Who are you!"

Crimson eyed guy: "My name is Kurenai."

Kurenai held her stronger, and closer. Kaoru's mind screamed as he leaned over her face. She struggled in his hold, but to no avail.

Kurenai: "Come with me Kaoru. You are so lonely… but I can help you. I'd be with you, and you'd never be alone again. I love you."

Kaoru: "What are you saying! Are you mad, we've never met before!"

Kurenai: "I know, but your elegance and beauty captured my heart. I wish those words were meant for me… maybe they were!"

Kaoru: "Listen, just let me go, I don't want to hurt you."

Kurenai: "No, I'll never let you go!"

Kaoru held in a scream as he buried her face into his chest. He held her so strong, she couldn't even breathe right. 'God, he's crazy! Someone help me!'.

Kenshin: "Kaoru, what in hell are you doing?"

Kurenai let her go and slowly backed away. Kaoru shook her head; she felt dizzy.

Kenshin: "Yeah! You better get away from her!"

Kurenai: "Our moment has been interrupted, but we will see each other again. Farewell my love…"

Kurenai vanished into the night. Kenshin walked towards Kaoru and grabbed her shoulders. She looked away. He took her chin with his fingers and made her look at his angry amber eyes.

Kenshin: "Is there something going on between you two?"

Kaoru: "What? Of course not! No!"

Kenshin: "Well, it surely looked like that to me!"

Kaoru: "Well, you're wrong! Why do you care anyway!" (YK: Yeah, why!)

Kenshin: "Hey, I'm just worried about your safety. I don't want Aoshi decapitating me."

Kaoru: "Ha, didn't HE want to kill me earlier?"

Kenshin: "Kaoru, you know he wasn't himself. Someone must have brainwashed him or something."

Kaoru: "Well I think he wants me dead because I'm hanging around YOU, while I should have slain you since we met!"

Kenshin: "Why don't you slay me then? You'll be all alone in this world."

Kurenai's words repeated themselves in Kaoru's mind. 'Come with me Kaoru. I'd be with you, and you'd never be alone again.'

Kaoru: "No, I'd have Kurenai. He said he'd be with me--"

Kenshin: "Just listen to yourself! He already messed with your head, snap out of it!"

Kaoru: "Why can't I think that by my own? You think I'm only a defenseless little girl that needs your protection! Your meddling got me into all this trouble!"
Kenshin: "My meddling? Excuse me for saving you!"
Kaoru: "You didn't save me…"

Those last words were merely a whisper. Kaoru realized she was talking non sense. She was a defenseless little girl; she needed his protection. He had meddled, but he had saved her.

Kaoru: "I'm sorry… I don't know what came over me."

Kenshin: "Forget it!"

Kaoru: "But--"

Kenshin: "Let's go!"

Kaoru: "Where are we going?"

Kenshin: "To Osumo. Yahiko! I know you're somewhere out there, let's go!"

Yahiko came out of some bushes sweatdropping. 'I can't believe he actually caught me!'

Hakkimaru stood in the center of his grand room. All the 'Seven' were reunited there, along with Aoshi.

Hakkimaru: "I can't believe you actually failed me Aoshi."

Lyhn: "It was Himura!"

Hakkimaru: "I know. I just want to tell you that Shimi and I have been talking about the Gate of the Invocation's ritual. You won't be killing the girl yet. You will bring her here and I will decide what to do with her."

Haru: "What about Kenshin?"
Hakkimaru: "We'll deal with him later. I'm sure he will want to join us after we gain more power."

Hamushi: "So, we just bring the girl?"

Hakkimaru: "Yes, and it's your turn Hamushi, bring her to me. They are heading to Osumo. Himura wants to learn about his past…"

Everyone in the room laughed, but Aoshi, who wasn't even paying attention. He was deep in thought.

Haru: "Master, do you think he'll come back to me-- I mean, to us when he remembers?"

Hakkimaru: "Why yes of course."

Ayumi: "Haru, I liked the way you said that!"

Haru: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Hakkimaru: "Stop your stupid argument and leave. I have better things to do."

The 'Seven' exited the room. Outside the door, Aoshi took Lyhn by her wrist. She looked at him surprised.

Aoshi: "I want to become stronger so I can defeat him."

Lyhn: "Um, sure, why not? Just don't kill him when you fight him."

Aoshi: "I need to become the strongest."

Lyhn: "Okay, I'll teach you some black magic. That will take him by surprise. Follow me."

Me: Si! Otro capitulo! Quién rayos es ese tipo loco que dice que ama a Kaoru? A caso ella siente algo por el? Qué aprenderá Kenshin sobre su pasado? Traducción por favor.

Yami Kikkay: She said 'Yay! Another chappy! Who the hell was that crazy guy that says he's in love with Kaoru? Could it be she feels something for him? What will Kenshin learn from his past?' There! I'm tired!

Me: Ahora el gran final! Por favor dejen reviews! Por fis, no criticas!

Yami Kikkay: 'Now the grand finale! Please review! Please, no flames!' Anything else?

Me: Si, hasta el próximo capítulo! Bye!

Yami Kikkay: mrrmmmm, 'Until the next chapter! Bye!' Argh! Are you THAT bored? You know you can speak English!

Me: Um… I can! I'm cured! Yay!

Yami Kikkay: Would it be alright if she went mute?
