CHAPTER ELEVEN

Karou Kamiya Himura sighed as she felt the months with out Kenshin slowly go by. She could feel the depression once again take over her even though Megumi tried to give her something for it, Karou wouldn't take it, she refused to take it. Kenshin was what she needed by now, not some medication that would make her feel happy temporarily. She was Kenshin's wife, and needed him by her side. She knew that he promised to come back, but she couldn't help not believing him. The blade hurt as it cut against her wrist and she could feel her warm blood start to come out of the fresh cut that she had just made. The blade dropped from her hand and she on the floor next to the blade.

Kenshin wondered why it was taking Setsuna so long to attack him already, for the past two months he had been aimlessly wandering, mostly away from his new wife and his friends back home who where waiting for him. He didn't like how Setsuna was taking his little time to attack, Kenshin had left so that Setsuna would follow him away from them but he was beginning to wonder if him leaving was a bad idea. He managed to keep his other side calm by thinking that when this was all over, he could have his young wife in his arms once again. They had known one another all of this time, but it took him up until now to confess his feelings for her. Ever since he had to kill Tomoe, he swore he would never love again, but times had supposedly changed, up until Setsuna showed his face once again. He would kill Setsuna and this would be his last kill.

Kaoru woke some time later to find herself once again in a bed and looked up at familiar blue eyes. Her wrist hurt, and then she remembered that she tried to kill herself.

"You can't do this Kaoru-Chan, it isn't healthy." Megumi said as she changed a dry wash cloth to a damn one. "Not for you or the baby."

"Baby, what baby?" Kaoru asked Megumi having a hard time keeping her eyes focused.

"You're pregnant Kaoru-Chan." Megumi said.

"How can you tell that?" Kaoru asked still a bit dazzed.

"I'm a doctor and a woman, when was the last time you had you're cycle?" Megumi asked.

"Megumi-san! That's a personal thing to ask!" Kaoru said somewhat embarrassed.

"I'm a doctor Kaoru-Chan, just answer the question."

"Since before Kenshin left…" Now that she thought about it she missed her last one.

"See my point exactly." Megumi said. "Ken-san would be mad at me if I let anything happen to his wife and his child."

Kaoru didn't know whether to cry or to be happy, she didn't know! Tears of both sorrow and tears of joy came down her eyes as she turned to the side and felt a comforting hand on her back. 'Kenshin, come home soon, I need you.'

Setsuna laughed silently to himself as he watched Kenshin in the shadows. "You will pay dearly old friend, yes you will pay. You're love, joy, and happiness shall be purged from you."

Kenshin then could sense Setsuna's ki near by. It was low, but now low enough to for him not to completely sense it. "Come out!"

The man laughed. "So Kenshin, I didn't think you still had it in you. I'll be seeing you, oh yes that I will." Setsuna said in a mocking tone of voice.

"You will face me now Setsuna." A dangerous voice ordered as Kenshin's eyes flickered gold once again as his dark side once again emerged and he kept his hand rested on his sword's hilt. "You wanted me Setsuna, now you have me!"

"Himura-San, it's so nice to see you again."

"Let's get this done and over with now!" Kenshin, batousai ordered dangerously.

"No, I don't think so, I'm not in the mood to play today. I'll be in touch, I can promise you that."

"GET BACK HERE!" Kenshin ordered when it seemed as if Setsuna had just simply vanished in to thin air.

I know that this long awaited chapter has been really short but I do apologize for that. I kind of lost interest in this story and am just writing it to finish it and not leave it un-completed. I hate leaving things only half way done. Well hope that you enjoyed this short chapter.
