OMG I HOPE I DON'T SOUND NARSSITIC BUT I LOVE MY STORY AND I HOPE YOU DO TO, SO HERE IT IS!
Kaoru POV:
Red and yellow, shining in my eyes, the colors of that sunset, the one I will never get, the reason I am not the Winged Raven anymore the reason he's dead and why I am still here Kami I loved you Mamoru I loved you so much and yet you died in cold blood because of who I was! May 20 the day the cherry blossoms came out, also the day the rain fell so hard and washed away all the flowers they never had a chance, like our love, and that night the moon ran bloody red, the night I was hired to kill you, that night I cried so hard I lost all who I was. I will never let that happen to you my Kenshin I promise.
Regular POV:
"Missy breakfast is ready!"
"Thank you Sano I will be out in a second!"
Kaoru POV:
Remember I am doing this for them, keep telling yourself that and you will be fine, I promise.
Regular POV:
"Ms.Kaoru did you sleep well?"
"Duh, Kenshin she screamed at like 3 am and you ask her how she slept, that's like asking a …."
"We get it Yahiko, Ms. Kaoru did you sleep well "after" the nightmare?"
"Yes thank you, I am truly sorry for waking you last night. And in return I suggest we go to the Akebeko for lunch!"
"Oh yes, you did something right for a change Ugly!"
"You don't have to go Yahiko-chan!"
"Ugh! I am not a child, you ugly hag!"
"OK LETS HAVE A "HAPPY" breakfast please."
"Thank you Ken-san children can be so rambunctious!"
"Megumi, when are you leaving again, I would hate for you to be late to the clinic."
"Your concern astonishes me Kaoru; well I do have to be going so I'll leave you all."
"By Megumi, please I will try to see you sometime; you know how busy I get and all."
"That's right, I mean being sweaty then having to bathe I mean I bet that is busy work, but you do it so well, you being a tomboy and all."
"GOODBYE fox."
"Goodbye raccoon."
"Goodbye Ms. Megumi."
"Good riddance, she makes me so mad!"
"Missy, be nice she's just playing, that sly fox, you know she cares, the feeling is just hidden."
"Hidden real deep inside of her, deep, deep, deep down inside of her."
"Well my feelings for her are buried so deep down the dead couldn't find it."
"Ms. Kaoru she is a good women, she just likes to tease."
"Well, she still makes me mad."
"Hey guys I'll see you at lunch okay?"
"See you Sano."
"Kenshin breakfast was delicious, as usual."
"Thank you Yahiko."
"Kaoru are you going you teach me or what?"
"Not today, just do you normal chores and do 10000 swings and that's it for the day."
"Aw, come on ugly teach me something new!"
"Tomorrow I promise."
"Fine, you lazy old hag."
"20000!"
"What wait I take that back!

"I said okay Kaoru I'll do that."
"Correct."
"That boy likes you like his older sister, Kaoru he means well and he just doesn't know how to show it yet."
"I know and I love him like a little brother I always wanted."
"Kaoru you are so pure of heart."
"Look Kaoru, the blossoms are blooming."
"They remind me of you….."
(Flashback)
"Kaoru look the cherry blossoms are blooming."
"Yeah they are Mamoru."
"They remind of you Kaoru."
"They bloom so beautifully and the colors of such purity. The purity reminds me of your eyes."
"Mamoru you know what I do and yet you say I am pure?"
"Yes, no matter how many you kill, you are still pure in heart. I love you Kaoru even if you kill a million men."
"Mamoru, I promise you when this is over, I wanna be with you till I die. And every year we will watch the cherry blossoms bloom."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
(End Flashback)
"Kaoru? Are you alright? Your daydreaming?"
"Oh Kenshin? I'm sorry I guess I just dozed off."
"You didn't get much sleep last night here take a rest I promise I'll watch over you."
"You promise?"
"I promise."
"Hey Kenshin?"
"Yeah."
"Will you watch the cherry blossoms bloom with every year?"
"I promise."
"I'll keep that to my heart."
"I love you Kaoru, my pure cherry blossom."
"I love you Kenshin, till the end of time."
(Flashback)
"Kaoru I love you my cherry blossom."
"I love you Mamoru, till the end of time."
(End Flashback)
Regular POV:
"Look at them, they have no clue that they are about to be killed. The Battousai sleeping like that and the boy learning that stupid style. They'll scream for mercy when they start bleeding."
"I feel bad that the Winged Raven doesn't come out to play with us, I mean we keep killing people to draw her out and yet she still sleeps. Well we will just have to wake her up, am I right Kaoru?"
"Kaoru?"
"Yes Kenshin?"
"Ready to go for lunch?"
"Yes Kenshin I just have to get something."
Kaoru POV:
I thought I would never need my sword again, I know your out there Muegan I can sense your ki. I know you have been following me for the past days and I want you to know I am watching you too. The Winged Raven is watching you.
Regular POV:
"Kaoru come on!"
"I am coming Sano."
"Welcome to the Akebeko!"
"Hey Tae!"
"Hey Kaoru, what can I get you on the sunny May 20?"
"Its May 20?
"Yeah, what about it?"
"Oh nothing, just wondering."
Kaoru POV:
Your going to strike tonight aren't you. Your still after me after I killed your stupid pathetic leader and now after 10 years you try to avenge him? I have to draw them away from the Akebeko too many people here to see fighting.
Regular POV:
"I forgot something at the dojo I have to go back and get it. I will be right back."
"I'll come with you Ms. Kaoru!"
"NO, I mean, there is no point I will be right back anyways."
"Okay, I see you in a few minutes."
"Kenshin?"
"Yes."
(Kisses him)
"I love you."
"I love you too? Are you alright you seem sad?"
"Nothing I just have a lot on my mind."
"Goodbye."
"Bye, Kaoru."
Kaoru POV:
Kenshin when I mean "Goodbye" I mean for good. I haven't been the Raven on over 10 years my skills are a bit rusty so I might not make it, but I promised I would make sure you were safe. Goodbye Kenshin.
The cherry blossoms still bloom, and oh fate, the rain falls as I speak know."
Regular POV:
"Oh no, Ms. Kaoru is out in this rain!"
"Lets just take this home and tell Missy we will eat it there."
"Hurry it's a downpour!"
Kaoru POV:
I sense you Muegan, come out and play, come play with the Raven. I will fight you to keep my family safe.
Regular POV:
"Raven you came! I wondered when you would come out and fight. 40 men and you took so long to come out."
"Shut up Muegan! I came here to kill you and that's it."
"Ms. Kaoru we came back, the rain was too much so were just gonna eat it here!"
"NO KENSHIN GET OUT OF HERE!
"What's going on?"
"Kaoru!"
"Ah Battousai you came to join us?"
"Its nice to see you, Kaoru missed you; she was going to fight for you."
"Kaoru why didn't you get help?"
"Because she knew we were here to begin with, she planned this get together. What a planner we are."
"Kaoru what is he talking about?"
"Battousai I would like to introduce you to the hitokiri Winged Raven!"
"NO!"
"You lie; Kaoru is not a killer like this unworthy one."
"Then maybe you don't know her too well now do we?"
"Kaoru who are you?"
"Kenshin I am the Winged Raven, I am a killer, I am so sorry."
"Missy, why didn't you..?"
"Kaoru, what about Kamiya Kasshin?
"It was just a façade."
"Are you even named Kaoru?"
"Of course Kenshin, I am still me! I am the same person!
"I don't even know if you are the same girl I love?"
"Kenshin I still am the women you love and I am still the women that loves you!
Believe me! I am still me!"
"I don't even know anymore."
"Ouch, Battousai that looked like it hurt her, maybe you should apologize, I mean she is about to die soon."
"No she will not, I will protect anyone who is in need."
"Battousai I don't need you help you pathetic man. I can kill without your aid!"
"Missy? You don't kill people!"
"Oh no, she isn't your Kaoru she is the women that killed 10 towns. The women that politicians hired to kill. The women that slayed a million men. I give you the WINGED RAVEN!"
"I suggest you take that child and hide, blood is hard to forget."
"I am not a child. I am Yahiko Mijojin, the apprentice of the Kamiya Kasshin!
(Points sword at his face and is right in front of him)
"Child you waste my patience another word and I cut that little nose off your face."
"Kaoru, you would never hurt Yahiko, you love him like a brother."
"Love is such an overused word, I don't like talking. It bores me."
Kenshin POV:
Silver, like steel and ocean all at once, pure to evil at the next. Who is she? She is not the girl I once knew, she has tears on her face and yet she doesn't cry. I did this, I made her hate me. I am why she is like this. All those sayings of goodbye and I love you's. She was trying to tell me she was going to die!
Regular POV:
"KAORU NO YOU ARE NOT GONNA DIE!"
(Kaoru looks at him)
Kenshin POV:
Steel right through her, like wind through hair, and red ran like the rain that washed away those cherry blossoms.
