PREVIOUSLY: Kaoru sang the last lines and finished strong. She took a deep breath and stared at the judges through the noise of the crowd as they cheered wildly.

The main judge stood up after discussing with his colleagues, "Well, I should say….."

CHAPTER 12

THE SAD ENDING

"I should say….WE HAVE A WINNER LADIES AND GENTS!"

Kaoru jumped up screaming and the rest of the band ran up to hug her and cheered. Kenshin was so caught up in the moment that he grabbed her by her waist and lifted her in the air and spinned her around. When he let her down, they kissed passionately. Kaoru deepened it.

The whole crowed awed at the site and the rest of the couples did the same as Kenshin and Kaoru. Enishi kissed Ayomi, Sano kissed Megumi, and Misao kissed Iceman. (I mean Aoshi)

Everyone was so excited as the judges put a medal on a black ribbon around each of the member's necks. Then they were led into a room where the judge told them about the recording contract.

"YES! Of course we agree!" Enishi said. That was kinda surprising since he was the most levelheaded one next to Aoshi.

They all signed the contract and someone rushed into the room. It was a cop.

"Is miss Kamiya in here?" Kaoru looked at Kenshin worriedly and nodded.

The policewoman took a deep breath. "Your father. He was shot."

Kaoru just froze. Her hand still placed in Kenshin's.

"Come with me." The cop said. She looked at them with a sad expression. She hated this part of the job. "You all can come."

Kaoru's knuckles where turning white. Kenshin held her as they followed the nice policewoman.

The group arrived at the hospital. People looked at them weird. They looked out of place from the bright colored clothes of the other people.

Kaoru slowly walked over to the receptionist. "Is my dad here? Will he be okay?"

The lady looked up and asked, "Name?"

Kaoru took a deep shuddering breath, "Kamiya, Kostuka." (AN: I know I said it was Saitou but pretend I didn't okay?)

The nurse sighed and set the clipboard down. She looked straight in her eyes and said, "You can see him, but the doctor has some very bad news."

Kaoru started crying softly and Kenshin hugged her.

"Some present for my 18th birthday." Kaoru managed to say.

She followed the doctor as he told her the horrible news. "I am so sorry. He is alive, but not for long. We think he only has a few minutes."

Kaoru sighed. Tears were still going down her face. Her dad was right. Concerts like those were dangerous. Her father was so worried that she'd get hurt that he went and HE got hurt. This was all her fault.

She walked into a room and saw him hooked up to a ton of wires. She ran over to him and bawled.

"I am so sorry, Daddy! It is my entire fault! I didn't want you to get hurt!"

She cried and cried until she felt his hand wipe her face.

"It is okay. You won! I am so proud of you. I love you so much, Kaoru."

She looked at her father. He was lying there with a smile on his face.

She smiled.

"Don't cry anymore. I will finally, after 15 years, be with your mother. I miss Anata so much." Her dad grinned. "I can still picture her."

Kaoru smiled again. "I love you daddy. So much."

He smiled and squeezed her hand. "Goodbye."

With that final word the heart monitor that had a steady beep, turned into a long, annoying, long note signaling he was no longer on this earth.

Kaoru stood and kissed her father's face before leaving to find the others.
