Chapter 2Back To The Past Again!
Kaoru and Kenshin made their way back to the dojo after lunch and Kaoru was telling Kenshin about her family and her job. Conveniently leaving out the part about her power. It was a good 30 minutes to get to her dojo.
"So what about your life?" Kaoru asked curiously.
"Is this your dojo?" Kenshin calmly avoided the subject and Kaoru nodded but decided not to press the matter.
They walked in and Kaoru showed him a spare room right across the hall from her own. She gave him a futon, blanket, and a candle on a holder.
"Go ahead and make yourself at home. Fell free to explore. I'll be in the practice room if you need anything." With that Kaoru shuffled out of the room towards a building out side with her magic bokken in her hand.
(AN: It's magic because it appears out of nowhere. It just appears whenever Yahiko, Sano, or Kenshin do something bad. Creepy.)
An hour later Kenshin walked inside the place where Kaoru said she'd be. Kaoru was practicing hard and Kenshin just stood there staring. She was so swift and graceful. It was like watching a sweaty dancer.
Kaoru noticed Kenshin staring and blushed. She walked over to him and smiled, "Is there something you need, Kenshin?"
Kenshin snapped back and smiled, "I've prepared dinner for us. Would you like to eat now?"
Kaoru grinned. She liked the idea of men cooking for her. She was such a bad cook that she once burned sushi. That was sad.
Kaoru had taken some time to change into an elegant blue kimono with a sakura pink obi. She sat down and started to dig into her food. After a second she stopped. Kenshin thought she was about to cry.
"What's wrong, Miss Kaoru? Is it no good?" Kenshin asked worriedly.
"No…it's just that I hate it when people cook better than me!" She exclaimed.
She dropped her chopstick on accident and bent down to pick it up when her and Kenshin's hands touched. He too had motioned to get it. There was a rush of blue all around them and it swirled fast coming out of Kaoru's eyes. Kenshin didn't know what was going on and was very frightened.
As soon as it started the blue wave disappeared into Kaoru's eyes. Kenshin looked around and saw that they were in a forest. Kaoru was unconscious on the ground next to him.
Kaoru came to in a short time and looked up at a worried Kenshin.
"Kaoru, what just happened; and where are we?" he asked slowly and very seriously.
"We must've come back in time." She answered. Kenshin was baffled.
"I have the power to travel through time. Maybe I can get us back to the present." She explained.
"Please. I don't think I should be here. It's a feeling." He said.
Kaoru grabbed Kenshin's hand and concentrated on the present. Her eyes started to glow blue and the wave that took them here appeared when a woman's voice pierced through her.
"You may not go home till you've faced both your pasts. Only then may you go home." Kaoru's mouth moved but another woman's voice came through her. Kenshin froze at the voice of his past.
"T-T-T-Tomoe?" His voice cracked.
"Face your past, Kenshin." Tomoe's voice echoed as the blue wave disappeared from Kaoru's eyes.
"I am sorry. I can't get us home. My powers are gone." Kaoru said starting to cry. Kenshin comforted her when her sensed someone running through the forest towards them. He picked up Kaoru and hid behind a bush.
A young woman was running away from someone of someplace covered in blood. She was crying and yelling, "Help! Help! He's killed Akira! Battosai killed Akira!"
Kenshin had immediately recognized the girl as Tomoe. This must have been the night he'd killed Akira and the first time he'd met Tomoe. He always wanted to have had a good first meeting, but unfortunately killing her fiancé wasn't considered a good first impression.
"Tomoe." He whispered silently. Kaoru blinked. She looked at the young woman and realized that Kenshin must've known her.
After a few minutes she was gone and Kenshin and Kaoru relaxed.
"You've got to find a way to get us back. I don't want torelive my past." Kenshin said darkly.
