Disclaimer… I do not own Rurouni Kenshin…Duh!
****Author notes… Hi guys! I am so excited that you guys have been enjoying this story. I admit that at first, this was strictly going to be just a "lust story" but as I continued to write it turned out to be much more than that. My lemon chaps (on adult fanfiction.net) were simply the ideals of a woman who DESPERATELY needed a boyfriend. Although I still do not have a man, I have enjoyed writing this story. Well, this is the second to last chapter and I hope you guys enjoy it. Thanks for all the support and the helpful reviews.

AT LAST( I envisoned "At last," playing by Etta James
The grounds surrounding the huge mansion were filled with hundreds of townspeople who had come out to the huge celebration that Lord Okina had thrown to celebrate the return of his grandson. Young women had flooded the castle trying to get a glimpse of Kenshin as well as Lord Aoshi. There were huge platters of food, sweets and musicians were everywhere. Kenshin kept his guard on high alert and waited. He knew something was going to happen tonight. He felt it. He would have to keep his guard up and try to concentrate tonight.
Kenshin tried to smile to all of the young ladies that continued to flock towards him. He answered their questions and tried to be a perfect gentleman, but they did not interest him as she did.
Where is Kaoru? He thought as he scanned the grounds looking for her ponytail. He looked over to where Aoshi was standing and saw that he was surrounded by many young women as well. Kenshin looked away, trying to scan the area again and when he looked back he saw that Aoshi stood alone.
Kenshin looked trying to find out what Aoshi had done to make the young women leave him alone and spotted his sister, Misao standing some distance away by the back doors of the mansion with Kaoru beside her. Misao's eyes were narrowed dangerously towards Aoshi. Kenshin knew that his sister had scared the women away. He wished that Kaoru would scare his spectators away. As soon as he thought it, he saw Kaoru's eyes narrow to tiny slits and suddenly, the women who surrounded him sighed and walked away.
"Humph! This isn't over," said one of the women as they retreated.
"She ain't even all THAT!" Another one said.
Kenshin found himself smirking. Kaoru then started to walk towards him. She was beautiful. It was then that he noticed that her hair was down. It spilled down around her in cascades of black silk. It framed her face perfectly. As she continued to walk towards him, it was as if time had stopped. She moved like fine sake as if slid down his throat like velvet and she caused him to become hot like the after effects of sake as if burned his throat.
She was magnificent.
************ **************** *************** ************** ***********
As Kaoru walked towards Kenshin she felt herself gain more and more courage. Instead of the other times that he looked at her as if he was ready to devour her, he looked at her as if he was in a trance. His eyes were softer and the features of his face were gentler less tense.
Yes, tonight would be the night that she told Kenshin how much she loved him.
*********** **************** ***************** *****************
Damn those girls! Misao thought as she sent silent death threats to the many women that surrounded Aoshi. They quickly dispersed and sent their own looks of dread to Misao.
It's got to be tonight. I have to make him see that we belong together. Aoshi, tonight you will know that you belong to me and that I belong to you.
********* ************ ************* *************** *******************
Kamatari had done something that he had not done in a while. Kamatari had worn the clothes of a man. He was sure that Okinese would be at the celebration tonight and he wanted to make a good impression on her. He did not know what it was, but he was attracted to the woman. Upon his arrival at the mansion, no one recognized who he was. That was good. In fact he had an audience. As soon as he stepped upon the grounds, several young women there had already gathered around him, flirting.
Kamatari was wearing the clothes of an Englishman. He had on black slacks, with black shirt and wore a long black trench coat. His hair was cut very low as well.
He smiled and acted the perfect gentleman as he flirted as well. He scanned the grounds looking for Okinese, when he spotted her. She was standing some distance away on a small bridge overlooking a pond. Lanterns were hung all around and it created the perfect romantic scene. He excused himself from the ladies and made his way over.
************ *************** ******************* **********************
Shishio waited patiently for the moment to strike. He was dressed up as an old man at the celebration and Himura was so close he could reach out and touch him. When the women quickly dispersed and Himura had his back turned he grabbed his concealed blade ready to launch an attack when he saw it. From his position he could see Himura from the side. As the woman walked towards him, he saw a strange type of emotion. Wait! That can't be it? Is it? An evil grin begin to slowly creep across his face. How sweet. The Battousai is in love.
Shishio let go of his weapon and waited. He would take away what Himura had taken from him. He would take away his reason for living. He would take away his LOVE.
********** *************** ****************** ********************
Kenshin continued to watch as Kaoru walked seductively towards him. He anticipated the moment when he could feel her smooth skin and taste her sweet lips. He smiled at her as she came closer. Suddenly his smile turned to terror as he watched in a blur the events that happened next.
************ **************** *************** ***************************
Kaoru walked towards Kenshin and when he smiled at her, she smiled back in return.
Then his smile turned to pure terror and it scared her beyond belief. She stopped her approach and turned to see what had caused the sudden change in him. Before she could finish her turn, she was consumed by darkness.
************ *************** ******************** **********************
Misao walked towards Aoshi who still had his back turned to her. She knew that he knew that she was there. Misao walked towards him when her instincts took over. She looked towards Kaoru a second before the young woman fell to the ground.
**************** ****************** ***************** ******************
Aoshi had been watching the gentleman in all black when he felt Misao behind him. Good, he thought. She would get rid of all the women who were flocking around him. Something was familiar about the gentleman. Aoshi had never seen him before but he could have sworn he had met him somewhere before. Then it hit him. He turned around a second late, as he watched Kaoru fall forward onto the ground.
*********** *************** ****************** ************************
Shishio felt it moment late. He was watching Himura smile at his love, when his face suddenly turned to terror. Shishio looked back at Himura's woman and saw her fall to the ground.

I love cliff hangers!!!! I apologize for it not being that long, but the next chapter will make up for it. Can you guess what happened? What's going on?
