Thank you so much for all your reviews. I hope yawl love this chapter!
XOXO
Kenshin POV:
The clock stuck nine. Where had the time gone? Where was the day, the women I loved, the same women I told I loved her under the blooming cherry blossom tree. The tree was now barren and dead, the heavy rain had washed away the flowers, it left the dojo empty and silent. The rain, clear liquid falling onto bloody puddles of men. The once pure rain from the sky hit the mud and grime and blood.
The rain, the unwanted rain. I'm still standing here in awe and confusion watching her fluid movements, the way she was killing, this wasn't Kaoru, this women I never knew about. My head still spins with thoughts; I stand there with my hand on my sword, my unneeded sword. I now know how Kaoru feels when she watched me fight Satio, that feeling of helplessness and pain, pain of not knowing what to do for the one you love. The feeling is horrible.
She screamed as she fell back against the wall.
Regular POV:
"Kaoru!"
"Oh, Battousai, did I injure you little birdie?"
"He shouldn't worry about his little birdie, it has claws! I mean its only a scratch, you your self have had worse."
"Kaoru stop fighting! You're my sensei you told me never to fight!"
"Well I broke a promise, boo hoo."
"Really, you should just kill the boy Raven, he is annoying!"
(Flashback)
"I promise Yahiko I will protect you. I have this fighting style called Kamiya Kasshin Style, to protect the one you love without killing."
"Is that possible?"
"Anything is possible Yahiko."
(Another Flashback)
"Hey kill the boy he is annoying!"
"NO! Your not killing him as long a I am still here!"
"NO Kaoru you will get hurt."
"No Yahiko I will protect you no matter what, I promise."
(End Flashback)
"You hurt one hair on that boy's hair and I kill you."
"Oh is that a threat?"
"No I promise I made."
"You remember that promise?"
"Yeah kid I do, so I'll keep it."
"Lets finish this."
"Finally you were beginning to bore me."
"Oh I am truly sorry here let me, spice it up a bit."
Kaoru POV:
Such blood runs on my sword like water in a stream. The smell like metal and a wine.
The moves were fluid and quick Muegan never saw anything, he was a pawn, where was the new leader, Muegan was never a leader but a follower. He was easy to kill, simple moves and he falls on the floor, blood covered and dead. I can see Megumi's face, pure shock; she's never seen a man killed in front of her, I remember being like that. And Yahiko, that boy, he will be strong on day. Sano, I feel like I've disappointed him, like an older brother. And Kenshin, I feel like I cant breath, I hurt him, and I promised I would never hurt him, and I did.
Regular POV
"I suggest you call the police and tell them that you found the burglars and that they will need bags for the dead."
"I'll go do that."
"I'll walk you there and home."
"Thank you Sano."
Kenshin POV:
She wanted me to say something, her eyes were still silver, but I wanted blue. I know the silence was killing her and me too, but what was I going to say? What did she want me to say? That I loved her? I couldn't say that, I don't know if I could. Things have happened and I don't know if they would mean anything now. I want to speak but I have nothing to say.
Kaoru POV:
Say something, or at least stop staring at me with those eyes, those eyes so accusing, they bore into my soul like a sword, I want to scream and break the silence, but the silence is already deafening. Kenshin, what did I so wrong?
Regular POV:
"Kaoru, your shoulder is till bleeding a lot, it looks serious."
"Oh, I almost forgot, thank you Yahiko."
Yahiko POV:
What am I doing! I am walking in front of a killer! What am I saying she is still Kaoru! My sister and she is someone completely new to me. For the first time, I want Kaoru here, I want my sister."
Regular POV:
"Yahiko, can I talk to Kenshin alone?"
"Um, sure, here are the bandages."
"Thank you."
"Here let me help."
"Is that all your going to say to me Kenshin? Let me help?"
"What happened between us, nothing has changed…"
"GOD KAORU! You just killed 10 men things have changed! I don't know who you are anymore!"
"I AM STILL THE SAME PERSON!"
"ARE YOU? BECAUSE ALL I SEE IS SOMEONE NEW!"
"Kenshin, I am still the same person, believe me."
"I used to believe in you, but I don't believe in you, not anymore."
"Why?"
"Why! Kaoru you kept a secret, a BIG one, why didn't you trust us, me! Trust me enough to tell me."
"How can you judge? You are like me!"
"Am I? Who are you really? Because the Kaoru I loved is not the one that is in front of me now."
"Kenshin, I love you, believe me."
"How?"
"By trusting me!"
"No, the Kaoru I know would have never killed men or lied to me about a secret, what else are you hiding? I cant trust you like I used to."
"Kenshin…"
"It's late, we need sleep, and it seems the police are done cleaning the area."
"Kenshin."
"Yes?"
"I love you."
"Goodnight Ms. Kaoru."
Kaoru POV:
Oh, its back to Ms. I, I cant stay here, I have to go, I cant live here without people trusting me. Kenshin, I will always love you. Goodbye, forever.
Regular POV
"Ms. Kaoru breakfast is ready."
"….."
"Ms. Kaoru? Are you awake?"
"Ms. Kaoru (opens door, the bed is folded and there is a note.)"
Dear Kenshingumi,
I am so sorry. The letter I write is almost too hard to write, I cant live here, I cant see all of your faces staring at me knowing I have lied to you all. There is money next to the note; that should last for the whole year. My hands are shaking as I write this. All of you have been my friends, and now my family since the day I met each and every one of you. Yahiko, you are so strong, and the key to being that great swordsman you want to be, its all inside of you, just unlock it.
Sano, my overprotective brother, please don't go out a look for me, you wont find me.
Megumi, I grew up without any womanly people in my life, and you filled the role of my sister great. I am so sorry if I seemed mad or harsh toward you. I always envied you, because you where so pretty and graceful, you where the sister I always wanted.
I can almost see Kenshin now, please don't blame yourself, it wasn't your fault.
You said some things that were true and I have gone to find my answers. You can say I have gone wandering. In search of something I should have done many years ago. I wish I would of told you sooner that I loved you, I would of like to be in your arms longer and to hear words that I dreamed you would utter. Please take care of everyone. I hope my tears do not wash away my writing, please move on and forget me. I love you all my family. Kenshin please learn to love again, you will find love. Don't ever lose that feeling, it helps you stay alive. I love you so much, so much more than you will ever know. Please keep living for the sake of me. Keep living each day like its your last, keep breathing like its you last breath, keep fighting like its your last fight. Love, like you have forever.
-Kaoru Kamiya
"She's gone?"
"Yes Yahiko, she's gone."
"We have to go look for her Kenshin!"
""She said not to, that she did."
"And you are going to believe her?"
(Flashback)
"I love you Kaoru and I always have."
"I love you Kenshin no matter what happens in the next few days, I promise."
(End Flashback)
"I broke that."
"You broke what Kenshin?"
"I broke a promise I swore to keep. I have to find her."
"YEAH! NNOW THAT'S THE KENSHIN I KNOW!"
"When do we leave?"
"Yahiko, I think you should stay her with Ms. Megumi."
"But, Kenshin!"
"No buts, I need to do this, alone."
"KESNHIN! You are not leaving me out of this! We all care for Missy!"
"I know, but I need to go alone, please."
"Sano, I think we should let Ken-san go on his own."
"Fox?"
"He needs to find Kaoru on his own, I think only he could bring her back anyways."
"But… your right, go on Kenshin, she needs you."
Sano POV:
Like you need her.
Kenshin POV:
Kaoru I am coming for you, I need to tell you I am sorry for breaking that promise, I never meant to. I will find you, and then we will watch the cherry blossoms every year, just like I promised.
(Flashback)
"I love you Kaoru."
"And I love you Kenshin, forever, and till the end of time."
OMG!
Hand CRAMP!

Next Time:
"Kaoru come home!"
"I thought you didn't know who I was?"
"Kaoru you are the woman I love you is standing right in front of me."
"You mean it?"
"I promise."
"Kenshin I …"
"AHH!"
"Kaoru!"
"Oh, did I catch you off guard? You might want to patch that stomach wound, it looks like it hurt!"
"What do you want?"
"I just wanted to say hello to me fiancé!"
