Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin!
Kaoru slowed down her pace until she finally came to a stop.
'What? Our son! Does he mean that...we're married?'
For some reason, she wasn't that surprised. Well she knew that she had some kind of a relationship with Kenshin...but marriage?
"Kenji!" Kenshin exclaimed as he finally arrived at the daycare. Of course no one could barely hear him as the sound of the blazing fire erupted in everyone's ears.
Without hesitation, Kenshin gripped the hilt of his sword and quickly ran into the house as debris fell to the floor. He searched the building as he shouted for his sons' name.
"Kenji!" Kenshin shouted once more and this time he could hear the faint sound of coughing. Kenshin followed the sound and slid open a shoji door finding a little girl in the corner coughing uncontrollably.
He ran to the little girl's aid and picked her up as she leaned her small head against his chest and her hand covered her mouth from coughing.
Kenshin securely wrapped his arm around the little girl and headed out of the room.
He passed the burning orange glaze, ignoring the intense heat that caused beads of sweat run down his forehead.
Kenshin finally made it out of the house and laid the little girl down, running back into the burning building. He called out Kenji's name again as he jumped over parts of the ceiling that collapsed to the floor.
"Daddy..."came a small voice. Kenshin's eyes widened as he turned around spotting Kenji also in a corner surrounded by more debris, which was lit on fire. He didn't think as he zoomed across the fire causing several burns on his arms and parts of his chest.
He ran to Kenji and picked him up securing him with both hands.
"It's alright, Kenji," Kenshin whispered to Kenji as his arms were wrapped around him tightly not letting go. Kenshin, passed the burning fire, jumped over the debris heading straight for the door, but it was blocked as more of the ceiling collapsed in front of there only way out.
Kenshin looked around trying to find another way out. So he ran down the hall looking in each of the burning rooms to see if there was any exit, but he could barely see as the fire began to rise.
"Mommy?" came Kenji's soft voice. Kenshin looked at his son as Kenji's hands reached out.
Kenshin faced Kenji's direction finding Kaoru running to him. "What're you doing here!" Kenshin asked quickly.
"You think I'd want to let you die in a place like this? Plus you still have more to tell me about my background and who I really am!" Kaoru said as she smirked, but Kenshin didn't smile as he saw another piece of the ceiling began to collapse above Kaoru.
"Look out!" Kenshin said as he grabbed her and pushed himself, Kenji and Kaoru out of the danger.
"Mommy!" Kenji called out once more as he put his arms around Kaoru.
'Could this be Kenji?' Kaoru thought to herself. They stood up as Kaoru was still holding Kenji.
"Lets go!" Kenshin shouted as he grabbed Kaoru's wrist and began running, looking for a way out.
"There!" Kaoru yelled as she ran into a room with a window. Kenshin followed her into the room.
She put down Kenji and tried to open the window, but it was no use.
"It won't budge!" Kaoru gritted.
Kenshin picked up his sheath and plunged it into the window causing it to break. Kaoru then picked up Kenji once more and climbed her way out. "Are you coming or not?" Kaoru yelled.
"There still might be more kids in here! I'm going back in!" Kenshin shouted back as he left the room.
"Kenshin!" Kaoru exclaimed, but he was already out of the room. Kaoru put Kenji on the ground and said, "Go far away as possible! It's too dangerous!" Kaoru demanded.
"Okay, mommy!" Kenji exclaimed as he smiled at her. Kaoru froze as he again called her 'mommy'.
When Kenji ran for safety a faint image of him appeared in Kaoru's mind. Kaoru shook her head making the image go away. She had better things to do.
Kenshin began to pant as he ran around the whole daycare looking for any children or adults that were still in the building, but there was no one.
Kenshin sighed as he began to run down the hall again looking for the room that had the window, but once again more of the ceiling had fallen and landed on Kenshin's legs making him fall to the ground.
He tried his best to get out under the debris, but they were too numb from the heavy weight.
"Kenshin!" he heard his name. He looked up and found Kaoru coming to his aid.
"Kaoru…what're you-"
"Saving your life! You think I would let you go back alone?" Kaoru said as she pulled him out of the pile of wood. "Can you walk?" she asked.
Kenshin tried his best to stand, but his legs gave out on him. She helped him to his feet, putting his arm around her neck and carried him to the room. She walked in the room and pulled herself and Kenshin out of the window and then carried him to safety.
To be continued...
