My heart my world my son 7
Kaoru stood up as she secured her gi back onto her and also ran out the room finding out what the racket was about.
She ran into Kenji's room noticing that it was empty, until she looked out the window.
There she saw Kenshin and several yards in front of him was a huge man with greasy black hair holding Kenji up by the collar of little Kenji's pajamas with one hand and in the other hand was a broken sake bottle which was inches away from Kenji.
"Daddy!" Kenji shouted as he began to cry.
"Ain't so tough now Battousai," the man snickered.
'Battousai?' Kaoru's eyes widened.
Kenshin stood there gritting his teeth as he gripped the hilt of his sword.
"Release him, now," He demanded but man simply laughed.
"You think you can order me around? You can't tell me what to do!" shouted the man. There was something odd about the man. The man began swinging little Kenji sideways roughly as Kenji's cries became louder.
"Drop him now," came a voice behind the man. The man turned his head sideways and saw Kaoru with her sword right at his backside.
"Just try and kill me then this kid will die with me." The man then put his hand around Kenji's neck. Kaoru froze. He was right, but remained in her position.
"Kaoru, get out of the-"
"Kenshin!" came two voices. Kenshin turned around barely noticing in the dark that it was none other than Sanosuke and Yahiko.
"What's with all the-"Sanosuke cut short as he stared at the man holding onto Kenji. "What the hell?" he replied.
"Heh, this guy doesn't look so tough," Yahiko smirked as he held his shinai up. "Hyaahh!" he yelled as he charged towards the man.
"Yahiko!" Kenshin shouted, but Yahiko ignored Kenshin and thrust his shinai in the man's huge stomach, but there was no damage.
"Uhh...,"Yahiko looked up at the guy in shock.
"You little kid!" the man yelled as he swung the broken sake bottle across Yahiko's face.
"Yahiko!" Sanosuke yelled as he ran over to Yahiko's side. He knelt next to Yahiko noticing his right cheek was all cut up and bleeding constantly. "That's one big gut he has," Sanosuke said to himself.
"Sano, take Yahiko to Megumi quickly," Kenshin demanded. Sanosuke nodded his head knowing that Kenshin could beat that man. He picked up Yahiko and headed out the gate.
"Who were they?" Kaoru whispered to herself not paying attention to what was happening behind her.
Suddenly without realizing it, the man turned around, dropped the sake bottle and grabbed Kaoru by the neck.
"Hn!" she muttered as she grabbed onto the man's hand which were around her neck.
"Heh. What now, Battousai?" the man chuckled as he raised both Kaoru and Kenji up in the air.
If Kenshin went even neared the man, he would cause the guy to choke Kaoru and Kenji to death. Anger swelled up in Kenshin.
Kaoru opened her eyes looking over at Kenshin whose eyes had turned amber.
'What?' Suddenly an uncomfortable smell had swept pass Kaoru's nose. 'Is that...sake I smell?...This guy must be drunk or something...'
Kenshin unsheathed his sword and was ready to attack.
Kaoru's eyes widened.
"K-Ken...shiin...,"Kaoru's voice was too weak from the firm grip around her neck. "Don't...do..it," she said a bit louder this time, but Kenshin didn't hear her. He raised his sword and charged at the man.
"Kenshin! Please don't kill him!" Kaoru finally had the strength to talk, but already Kenshin jumped in the air and pushed his sword down roughly on the man's shoulders.
The man fell backwards losing his grip on Kenji and Kaoru as they too fell to the ground. Kaoru sat up quickly and backed away from the man. From her point of view, it looked like that he was dead.
He wasn't dead of course since Kenshin used his Hiten Mitsurugi Style move, but Kaoru didn't know that...
Kenshin had sheathed his sword and ran to Kenji's aid, calming him down.
"Mommy...?"Kenji said glancing at Kaoru as he wiped a tear from his eye. Kenshin turned around noticing Kaoru looked to be in shock. A sudden voice appeared into Kaoru's mind.
'A sword is to protect...To protect the one you love, not to kill...' Kaoru pressed her hands on her head as the voice echoed in her mind until it suddenly stopped.
Kaoru noticed it was her voice...
"A...sword is to...protect...not...kill...,"Kaoru repeated to herself softly.
"Kaoru?" Kenshin said as he neared her. Kaoru simply shook her head as she stood up backing away from him." Kaoru, what's wrong?" he asked as he reached his hand out to her.
"No!" Kaoru shrieked as she slapped his hand away from her. "Get away from me...you...you killer!" Kaoru shouted as tears came down her cheeks.
"What?"
"I trusted you! But your just some killer named Battousai! How could you?" Kaoru yelled as tears streamed down her flushed cheeks. Kenshin froze in place. "Get away from me..."she said as she ran away into the dark distance.
