Chapter four: Kenshin gets country-tized
&
"Kaoru where are you?"
Kaoru was on suspension for two weeks because of cursing out the guard and all her lateness. As she was on suspension, the sun came back out and it went back to the hot place it was. The snow melted day by day until it was all gone. There was more snow to come, but for now she was going to enjoy the hotness that her town was known for.
Kaoru was playing at her cousin's house with Yahiko. She had drove her brother and her sister Tara there. Aoshi had basketball practice and he and Shuichi were gonna come later. Genia had a class, so she was gonna meet them as well. Their father was on business. Since their cousin lived in the country, they were playing in sunflower fields. She and Yahiko were just running around and having fun playing hide and go seek with their cousins Michelle and Amara. They were brunettes with gold eyes and they were eight years old.
"Yay we caught you Kaoru!" they clung onto her and she laughed as she spun round and round, making them laugh. She then stopped and she turned to look at the distance, her hair turning with her. She then began to walk with them tagging along.
"Kaoru where are we going?"
"Start running." she picked up Yahiko and she began to jog as they followed her.
"Look!" they stopped in awe at the lake that was surrounded by the sunflowers. Kaoru looked around before removing her shirt. She had a bikini top on. She then removed her skirt to reveal her bikini bottom. She held her brother out of his pants and shirt and then they all went in and began to swim. Kaoru was watching Yahiko as he swam around and played with the others. After a while, they got tired and they got out and just laid down on the grass as Kaoru let her feet swish the water. She took her hair and she wrang it out before letting the sun dry them. Then they put back on their clothes and they began to collect sunflower seeds. Amara put it all in her baseball cap. Then they began to walk back and Kaoru turned her head because she felt like she was being watched. She stopped as she saw a pair of purple eyes.
"Kaoru what's wrong?" she got a smile and then she began to run. They ran after her. She then hugged the purple eyed man and they screamed as they fell into the water. Amara and Michelle laughed with Yahiko as Kaoru planted kisses on his cheek.
"Oh Kenshin i haven't seen you since i've been on suspension!" Kenshin gave a smile and then he pushed her off and got up. Kaoru got up and then Amara and Michelle ran over.
"Hi. I'm Amara Kamiya."
"Hi. I'm Michelle Kamiya."
"I'm Kenshin Himura. Nice to meet you. Are you twins?" they nodded.
"You look exactly alike." they smiled before they all began to walk back.
"Kenshin what areyou doing?"
"Oh the other side of that pond and down, My Uncle owns that part. So I just decided to come and hang out, but he left me alone to go and get beer. So I just decided to wander around."
"Oh." they reached the house. Kenshin pulled off his shirt leaving him in a white beater. He then stretched and yawned.
"Boy. The country life is blazin'."
They went to the back before grabbing the towels and drying off. Tara came out and she greeted Kenshin happily. She was in a tank top and shorts. Kaoru smiled at her sister before they went in the house. Tara wandered off to the front of the house
"Kenshin this is Uncle Asahi and this is my Aunt Karen. Auntie, Uncle, this is Kenshin. The boy i've told you about." they got up and then shook his hand.
"Nice to meet you."
"Oh boy your all wet! Tyler!" Kenshin turned to hear somebody coming down the steps. Kaoru also turned with a smile.
"Tyler!" she went and she hugged onto her older cousin, getting him wet. He was muscular with black hair and light green eyes. Kenshin could tell he had a hard shell just by his eyes.
"Tyler this is my boyfriend Kenshin." Tyler went over and then he looked at him funny and leaned over and looked at him.
"This boy? He looks like a punk." Kaoru gasped.
"Tyler that is so mean!" Kenshin sighed.
"It's cool with me." Tyler then stood back up and put his hand out. Kenshin put his hand out and they gave each other a firm grip. Kenshin then let go and rubbed his hand a little.
"Sorry. I work around here so much."
"It's alright." Kenshin then put his hands back into his pockets.
"Tyler give him some clothes. When you were shorter, though."
"Kay mom." he turned and then he went out of the room. Kaoru followed him to steal some of her cousin's clothes.
"Tyler where is Tara?"
"On the porch sleeping. I saw her through the walkway."
"Oh." Kaoru then tiptoed to her cousin's room and she opened the door. She saw some shape in the sheets so she thought she was still sleeping.
'Wow. It's one thirty and Kaname can still sleep. I swear some brunettes can sleep hard.' She smiled slickly before going into her closet and looking for a shirt to wear.
"In my clothes again Kaoru?" she froze.
'But- but she's in the sheets! I would have heard her!' she turned around nervously.
"Kaname how did you get out of bed without me hearing?"
"Because that is Michael sleeping. Not me." Kaoru hit her head for not checking.
"Oh. Well... I need some clothes because I got wet. So... thanks love you bu-bye!" she snatched some clothes before running.
"Hey! Goddamit Kaoru!" Kaoru squeald as she ran down the hall and down the steps. She hid behind her Uncle. Asahi looked as his oldest daughter tried to get her.
"Daddy move!"
"She won't let me!" Kaname sighed before sitting down. Kaoru smiled a victory smile. Then she snatched the clothes from Kaoru's hand and sat down on them with a smile. Kenshin just sat cross-legged and watched the whole thing with his hands in his lap like a good boy.
"Auntie Karen she won't let me wear anything! I'm wet and i'm cold!"
"Well who told you to jump in with clothes on?"
"I didn't! It was me and him! I ran up and hugged him and he lost his balance."
"Oh real smart." Kaname said sarcasticly. She smirked.
"Freckle face."
"Raccoon."
"I am not some goddamn raccoon!"
"Kaoru!" she turned to see Her aunt covering Yahiko's ears.
"For shame." she said. Kenshin couldn't help but laugh silently. Kaoru then sat down on the floor.
"I hold my breath until I get the clothes." Kaoru then took a deep breath and she began to hold her breath.
"She's bluffng." Tyler came back down and he gave Kenshin the clothes. Kenshin went to change and when he got back, Kaoru was still holding her breath.
"She's gonna burst."
"Kaname give the girl the clothes! She's turning blue!" Tyler was worried.
"Kaoru breathe child breathe!" Kaoru refused and she was turning blue.
"Kaname come on!"
"Fine!" she gave up a pretty shirt and some jeans. Kaoru let go and she coughed as Tyler rubbed her back. Once she was back to normal, she got up with a smile.
"Thanks Frecke dog."
"Damn raccoon."
"I AM NOT A GODDAMN RACCOON!"
"Kaoru!"
Kaoru was in the den with Kenshin lying on the big couch, just enjoying each other's company. Kenshin pulled her closer to him as he sighed and shut his eyes ready to fall asleep. Kaoru began to sing softly.
"Mi amor...
Can't you feel what I feel, to you
Oooh you make me feel so good...
Don't you ever feel different with me
When you hold me closer
To your heart..." Kenshin opened a sleepy purple eye and looked into her blue one.
"What song is that?"
" 'Can't you feel what I feel'."
"And who sings that my precious?"
"Me." he looked at her with an arched eyebrow.
"I.. make songs. But it's not what I want to do when I get older. I want to do that, but I also want to play soccer the most."
"I see. And what if those don't work?"
"Then I will work into the business life. My father showed us what it's like. I think I can handle it." Kenshin gave her a smile before shutting his eyes and giving another sigh.
"Keep singing. It's good." Kaoru smiled at him as he began to fall asleep again.
"Oh baby...
Don't you get this feeling
Everytime you kiss me softly, hold me closely, touch me lovingly
And when we fall asleep
Don't you ever say 'You love me'
Is this all a dream, to you
Because my heart doesn't know what to do.
Can't you feel what I feel... because all I want is you."
Kaname entered the room ready to mess with her younger cousin, but then she let a smile grace her lips at what she saw. Quickly she got a camera and she took three pictures before running off with her digital camera to show off how cute they looked.
Kaoru yawned and she then opened her sleepy blue eye to check what time it was. She yawned again before raising her arm and looking at her clock.
"Damn. It's four fifty." she went out of the room and then she went down the steps and into the basement where she found a guitar. She picked it up and then she went out onto the porch and sat down on the steps. She began to tune it out to what she wanted and she began to play and sing the song she sang to Kenshin. Little did she know, Kenshin was sitting on the porch swing, just leaned back and listening to her. She was softly playing and then she was playing loud as Kenshin put his hand over his eyes from the bright sun.
"Gods baby
Can't you ever hear my cries
When I want you to hold me tight...
Don't you ever feel a pain, in your heart
When my fears slip to the floor...
Hug me softly
Talk to me gently
Kiss me sweetly
Hold me lovingly
Make me yours forever..." Kaoru sighed before just playing it on the guitar. When she was done, Kenshin got up and clapped. She jumped.
"Kenshin you were there the whole time?" he nodded.
"Your good."
"Thanks." she then put it on the porch swing. Kaoru put her hand over her eyes as she saw a metallic blue car coming up.
"My brothers are here!" she said jumping up and down happily. Kenshin looked at her as she yelled for Kaname. Kaname came out and then she began to jump up and down too. As soon as Aoshi got out of the car, she ran over and she jumped into his arms. He put her on his shoulder and then he tapped her thighs.
"Been working out Kaname?"
"You know it." she laughed as he sat her down on the steps. Kenshin then sighed as he saw Tommy come out in some overalls with a white shirt, and a stick of wheat in his mouth.
"I love the country! This is my first home!" he went up to Kaname and he put a hand out.
"Hey there gorgeous. Thomas Simms. But they call me Tommy."
"Kaname Kamiya. Nice to meet you." they shook hands.
"Your eyes are really pretty." she admitted as she looked into them.
"Thanks. Yours are too." he then stood up and he went back to the car and began to help with the grocceries. The twins came out and then they ran over to Aoshi and Shuichi.
"You guys did come! Where's Genia?"
"Sleep in the car. Let me do this." Aoshi sat down before pressing the horn hard. Genia jumped up and then she glared at him as she smiled at her through the mirror. She got out and then she hugged them before cursing him bad.
"I was gonna get up in five minutes. Five minutes was all I asked. But no. You gotta be the ass." she grumbled before hugging Kenshin and Kaoru. She then sat down and she put Kaname in a headlock and gave her a nuggie.
"Thought you would get away with it? I don't think so." she sucked on her pinkey until it was soaking wet.
"GENIA NO!" she stuck it in her ear and Kaname cried out.
"WET WILLY! AHAHA!" she let go and Kaname ran into the house saying 'Daddy handle your neice!' Genia then rubbed her eyes and she looked at Kenshin more fully.
"And you followed Kaoru, you lovesick puppy."
"Nope. See that house all the way down?" Genia put a hand over her eye and she nodded.
"My Uncle lives there. And he left me to go get his beer. So I just decided to chill out in the sunflower fields, and I saw her, and she pulled me."
"Oh I see." Kaoru hit him playfully before grabbing two of her rubber bands and putting her hair in pigtails over her shoulder. Shuichi and Aoshi were just bringing food into the house.
"Amara where is Yahiko?"
"With Michael." they went in the house and then Shuichi went back out and brought in Tara who was fully awake and grouchy.
"You guys know I was there. You know."
"Enough of that! Michael is awake!"
"Seriously?!" Kaoru nodded before the three sisters ran up the steps. Tommy followed.
"Why did Tommy go?" Kenshin asked.
"And who is Micheal?"
"Micheal is the second boy. He's so adorable, that they just love to mess with him."
"How old is he?"
"Sixteen. And why are you here anyway reddy?"
"My Uncle ditched me at his house. Kaoru found me wandering in the fields, so she just brought me here."
"I see. Sup." Aoshi and Kenshin did their handshake before Shuichi sat down and opened an iced tea. He put his fist up to Kenshin.
"I heard about what you did. Makes me think different." Kenshin touched his fist before he heard their screams. Kaoru ran down the steps before picking up a mirror and running back.
"Wow. They really like him." Kenshin heard Tommy yell, 'Dude it's huge!' they got the wrong idea and their Uncle said, 'Come downstairs!' they all came downstairs and Yahiko went and Aoshi picked him up and sat him down with Shuichi. Kenshin saw Michael and then he saw Kaoru hug his arm.
"Isn't he adorable?" Kenshin nodded with a questioning smile. Micheal had light brown hair that was shinning in the light with the lightest blue eyes he had ever seen. Lighter than Kaoru's. He was a little built, but not too much, and he wore baggy jeans with a white and blue shirt. Kenshin looked at his hair, it was at the bottom of his neck.
"Kenshin are you jealous? You got that look." Tommy said with a smile.
"Me? Nah. Why should I be jealous when I got one of the hottest chicks in school?" Kaoru smiled.
"And how do you know him Tommy?"
"Because me and him go way back to basketball camp and the boys tournament that you couldn't go to since you were in that place." Kenshin said 'Oh' not getting it. Then Tommy made a bar slamming noise and he caught on.
"OH! Oh yeah, I remember now." Michael went up to Kenshin.
"Hi. Micheal Kamiya."
"Kenshin Himura." they shook hands.
"I heard you dating Kaoru .... treat her right?" Kenshin nodded.
"You better. Not trying to be mean or anything, but I honestly don't trust any man that Kaoru brings unless they can work in the backyard." The Kamiyas went 'ooooo' Kenshin gave him a question look.
"The backyard? What's back there?"
"Oh I guess Uncle Shinji didn't tell you." he pulled a chair and then he sat down.
"Dad can I smoke?"
"I thought I said to quit that shit."
"Next year, promise." his father threw him a box and he caught it, still looking at Kenshin. He pulled out one and then he offered one.(A/N: Boy. That family is something, huh?)
"Want one?"
"I don't-"
"Stop lying. That's another thing. If you smoke and you wanna be honest, then take it." Kenshin sighed before pulling one and grabbing a lighter. Kaoru was shocked as he pulled up a chair.
"Oh no. We use my lighter." Kenshin put it away and he sat the blue flamed lighter.
"Nice cover."
"Thanks. Got it from Uncle Shinji." he lit Kenshin and then himself.
"Now. The backyard is... work. It's a lot of work. We haven't done anything, because we knew about you. And we know your Uncle. He's the one who told us that you were coming. There's weeds, there's lawn mowing, there's a lot."
"That doesn't seem too hard... what's the catch." Micheal laughed.
"Your smart." he blew out smoke and then he put it in an ash tray.
"You are going to have to cut the lawn using a machete, you pull out the weeds with your hands, you are going to have to pick a thousand sunflower seeds, and I want you to run with the dog. Hatchet!" Kenshin heard a deep bark and then he saw a Golden retriever run in and a little Jack Russel.
"Oh. And Moki." Kenshin outed his ciggarette and then he looked at him before cracking his knuckles and his neck.
"So when do I start?"
"Now. Let's go." Kenshin got up and he pulled off his shirt before going outside with the others. They sat down on the back porch under the shade. Aunt Karen got out some lemonade and cake. Kenshin wanted some, but he couldn't get any. Micheal leaned backk and then he saw Kenshin pull his hair into a high ponytail. Kaoru, Genia, and Kaname whistled.
"Sexy boy!" Kenshin smirked at them before picking up the machete.
"I have to cut this whole area?!"
"Uh huh!" Kenshin took his belt and tightened it, his boxers showing. Kaoru whistled again before Genia pulled her digital camera out of her bag.
"Smile sexy!" Kenshin smiled a sexy smile as Genia took it and then Micheal said 'get to work reddy!' Kenshin nodded before taking his weapon and beginning to cut the crass. Micheal said, 'Mmmm' with Shuichi and Tyler as he was cutting it neatly and going at a steady pace.
"Looks like he's done this before."
"Nah not Kenshin. He may have cut down a tree once, but not grass with a machete." Kenshin was done the second row and he stopped before wiping his head.
"Oh don't tell me your tired!"
"Nah! I got too much sweat on my head!" he then took out a cloth and wiped his head again before going back to cutting. Michael looked at Kenshin and then at Kaoru as she smiled at Kenshin who waved to her and she waved back.
"Your man is strong."
"Oh Micheal you don't know the half of it. The boy's father makes him run every morning with him carrying him as he sits in some thing the tractor pulls. Lord knows what it's called, but him, his cousin Tai, and his brother just sit there and drink juice as he runs to the store. And it's fifteen blocks away."
"Damn. The boy has some training under his belt, but he's not gonna be able to run with the dogs. They run through every row of the Sunflowers. Their fast."
"So is Kenshin."
"We'll see." They heard a 'SON OF A BITCH!' and they saw Kenshin cluthing his thumb in his mouth. Michael laughed.
"He cut himself." Kaoru sighed before putting a hand to her head. Micheal yelled, 'Don't come back here! Keep working!' and Kaoru read his lips as he began to curse and she began to laugh.
Kenshin was done after half an hour and Micheal was inspecting his job.
"Mmmm... nice job." Kenshin said 'Thanks' as he panted. Kaoru offered him a drink and he was about to happily accept.
"Oh no." Kenshin got whacked by a thick wooden spoon. Kenshin hissed and he sucked on it, glaring at Tyler.
"You don't drink. You either swallow your spit, or you drink the dirty muddy water. Got that?" Kenshin groaned before nodding.
"Now. I want you to go and pull the weeds. Now." he threw him some gloves.
"Clean those for me with your pants?" Kenshin widened his eyes before muttering and slapping them against his pants until the dust was on his pants. He gave them back before going over to the garden and getting down on all fours with a basket before pulling weeds.
"I can't use scissors?!" he yelled to them.
"Oh hell no! Use your teeth!" Tyler put his hand out and Micheal smacked it, the two having fun. Kenshin sighed before leaning up on his hands and knees and praying to god that no kind of insect went into his mouth. Kaoru couldn't help but giggle as she sipped on her tea, her blue eyes sparkling. Kenshin then went down and he sighed before biging a weet and pulling it with his teeth and his hand. He spit it out and then Tyler and Micheal widened their eyes.
"Holy crap. He really did it."
"But we were just kidding. I didn't think he would do it." Kaoru smiled again before raising her shirt up and taking it off.
"You and that bikini top." Genia did the same and Kaname and Tara followed. Karen just had a white beater on.
"Aunt Karen how old are you anyway?"
"I'm twenty nine sweetie." she pulled her hair into a ribbon before looking at Kenshin. He yelped and screamed.
"IT BIT ME! IT BIT ME!" Kaoru and Genia got up and ran over with Tommy. The others soon followed. Kenshin was there, bleeding from his lip, a praying mantis walking away. Kenshin licked his lip before Kaoru pulled some ice from her drink and put it on it.
"You can stop now."
"NO. I'm almost done anyway." he pushed them aside and he kept on cutting. They went back and sat.
"Determined lil' fucker, isn't he?" they turned to see Kenshin's Uncle walking up.
"Hey there country ass."
"Hey there biatch." he looked over at Kaoru and then he tipped his cowboy hat.
"Name's Jackel Himura. Friends call me Jack-o-lantern."
"Kaoru Kamiya. Nice to meet you." they shook hands. Kenshin then came over and he sighed wiping the dirt from his chest.
"Hey Uncle. Get the beer?"
"I went for some sodas you ass. And I got beer FOR MYSELF. Damn alcholic." Kenshin smiled before Michael and Tyler gave little claps. Kenshin took some ice and he put it on his lip to make the pain go away. Then Kaoru leaned up and gave him a small kiss.
"There. Is it better now?" Kenshin nodded with a smile before sighing and putting down the basket.
"I'm done."
"Good. Next job."
Kenshin stood in the sunflower fields, picking sunflower seeds. So far he had two hundred. And he had been there for half an hour. He sighed before putting another fifty in the basket. Tommy was with him, just counting as he picked them and put them in his bucket.
"Man."
"Hurry up Kenshin. It's getting late." Kenshin began to go faster and Tommy was going faster as well. Kenshin then looked around before pulling a sunflower down and just grabbing it and shaking them out. Tommy chuckled as he kept on going until he was almost done.
"Fity more." Kenshin began to pick them and then he smiled as he was done. He cheered to himself before pulling out his cap gun and letting out gunshots.
"YEEHAW!"
Kaoru jumped as she heard the two in the sunflower fields. The sun was setting. She then looked on as they were jumping and clicking their heels.
"Damn country kids." they ran back, dirty as the ground. Kenshin coughed up a dust storm and then he put the sunflower bucket full of sunflower seeds.
"There. A thousand sunflower seeds." Micheal looked in and he knew there was a lot.
"Tommy did he do as he said?" he nodded before showing the list of each time he put handfuls in. Kenshin then wiped the sweat from his head and he began to shoot his capgun again before his Uncle took it.
"Damn redneck."
"You should talk. Jack-o-lantern." Kaoru saw a light from a car and then she began to jump.
"It's my daddy! He made it!" Kenshin sighed before pulling his hair out and then letting Tommy take him to a hose. Shinji Kamiya got out of his car in a dark blue button up and he looked over at his family. Kaoru went over to the railing before putting her hands on and then waving happily with a smile that he always loved.
"Hi daddy!" he waved back and then he looked over to see Tommy hosing down a leaned over Kenshin. He raised his shades before arching an eyebrow. Then he shook it off and he went up and gave his family hugs.
"Jack-o-lantern. I see your not carrying your lantern today."
"Is that why they call you that Jackel?" Kaoru asked. He nodded.
"Ever since I was a kid, i've always carried a lantern because wolves use to come over here at night. Wolves and dogs that were part. And I use to just shoo them away with my light because it was bright... I also had a prety old blade. Too."
"Oh.. that's so cool." then Shinji went to his brother and he went over.
"Asahi son of a gun. How you been?"
"Living life good in the country bro. How's city going?"
"It's fine to me." he went over to Karen and he hugged her close and gave her butt a firm grip. She squeaked and then he kissed her cheek.
"Shinji leave my wife alone. I found her, not you." Karen was pulled into his lap.
"Asahi don't be hatin' because I know how to put the moves on your wife.... and why are those two here?"
"They are with me." Shinji looked at Jackel.
"Kenshin's your nephew, huh?"
"Oh yeah. Motherfucker ditched me when I WENT TO GET HIM SOMETHING TO EAT!"
"YOU SAID YOU WERE GOING FOR ALCOHOL YOU DAMN ALCOHOLIC!" Shinji snickered at that with Asahi. Tommy then turned it off and put a towel. Kenshin went over and then he looked into Shinji's eyes. Then Asahi's.
"You two twins?" he asked. It was a shocking question and then the two smiled a smile before nodding.
"Yup. But i'm older and more sexy."
"Motherfucker please." Asahi said befor they laughed. Kenshin shook his hand.
"Good day to you Mr. Kamiya."
"Good day to you too. Damn redhead. It seems you always manage to find my daughter." Kaoru hugged her daddy and then she smiled as he kissed her forehead. Micheal then went up to Shinji and he looked at Kenshin.
"The boy can work in the backyard. Real good. Almost better than us."
"Seriously? But he didn't run with the dogs."
"Oh yeah!" Micheal whistled high and the two dogs came out.
"I want you to give him a run for his money." he looked at Kenshin.
"Now I want you to catch Moki first. He'll let you pick him up, but grab him gently." Kenshin went down and then he stripped his pants to leave him in shorts. Kaoru whistled and then her father tapped her.
"Ready? GO!" Moki was off and then Kenshin gasped before going after him.
"GO MOKI GO!"
"CATCH EM' KENSHIN!" Kenshin began to speed up to full speed as he dog was just going all over. He then saw him heading back for the house and then he ran and he dover and grabbed him. He turned on his back before hitting the bottom part of the porch.
"Son of a bitch, ow!" Kenshin was in pain. He had hit hs head. Micheal then clapped with the others and he got up and he smiled holding the dog that was licking his face.
Kenshin gasped as he saw Hatchet stretch. He was built for speed.
"Ready? GO HATCHET GO!" Hatchet was off and Kenshin began to chase him. They were doing through the rows and across. It was like pacman. He even went through the water. The dog could swim.
"Catch him Kenshin! You can do it!"
"Run Hatchet run!" Shinji and Asahi were cheering for the dog with Micheal and Tyler and the twins while the others were rooting for Kenshin. Jackel had switched sides and went to Kenshin.
"Catch em' boy! Do what your uncle Jackel taught you!" Kenshin was running as fast as he could and the dog was heading for the porch. He pushed himself and then he bent down and he grabbed Hatched before pushing his feet into the ground. Hatchet refused to stop and then Kenshin dug it deeper into the ground and finally he pulled himself to grab him around the waist and lift him up. Hatchet barked in shock and then they clapped as he set him down and got down on one knee. He put his hand out and he shook his paw.
"Did I hurt you in anyway?" he heard him bark and then they went up. Kaoru grabbed a towel and put it on him before hugging him. Micheal went up to him with a smile.
"Gotta hand it to you. The last one couldn't even catch Hatchet. He got blown away in the first row. You got guts man." they hands before Karen went in the house and she started up a bath for him. She went out with a towel, a wash cloth, and his clothes dry and fresh.
"Go and take a bath. You deserve it." he smiled 'thanks' before going into the house and walking up the steps into the shower. He srtipped down before stepping in and sighing as the lukewarm water hit him. He felt better.
Shinji had his cards as they all sat around the table. It was him, his brother, Jackel, Tommy, Shuichi and Aoshi, and Tyler and Micheal. They were gambling again. Kenshin was still in the shower and ten minutes had passed.
"Stay." Aoshi said at last and then they began to put their cards out.
"Twenty one!" Asahi said happily as they banged the table and he took his twenty-five dollars. He put it aside before putting out a five.
"Big money." Kaoru was just thinking as she sat there and watched them. Then she heard somebody come down the steps. Kenshin was fully clothed except he was missing his shirt and he had a towel over his head drying his hair. He sat down in chair and then he picked up his cards that Tommy passed over. He had twenty one already.
"Stay." he said. Kaoru went behind him.
"Kenshin put out money." Kenshin pulled out a fifty and placed it down.
"Oh red head is big spending!" Kenshin gave a small smirk and then they all began to put their cards down. Asahi and Shinji got twenty.
"What did you get Kenshin?" Kenshin smiled before putting it down.
"Give me my money! Hey hey!" he picked it up and counted it.
"A hundred and thirty dollars! Whoo whoo!" he walked away with 'i'm done for the day!' and he went to the kitchen and sat down at the table. Kaoru came in and she sat down before putting her head in her arms on the table. She sighed before blinking her frustrated blue eyes and looking over at Kaname and her sisters setting the table.
"Daijabou desu ka?"
"Nan demo nai." Kaoru replied before looking over out the window as night was here. Her Aunt Karen came into the kitchen with Asahi and then he saw how down Kaoru was. Kenshin was just snoozing with his head against the table. Asahi went and he bent down as she looking over into his eyes.
"Kaoru, douko shita no?"
"Nan demo nai." she said.
"I'm just tired."
"Sure?"
"Hai." he kissed her cheek and then he went and began to bring things out. Kaoru pulled her rubber bands out of her hair before she pulled her hair up into a high ponytail and left her bangs out. She went to Kenshin before kissing his forehead. He gave a sleepy moan.
"You hungry Kenshin?"
"mmmmhmmmm."
"Well come on. Their ready to eat."
Kenshin thanked them with his Uncle and Tommy before they went on their way back to Jackel's house. Kaoru felt like something bad was going to happen and she hated that feeling. As she got into Aoshi's car, she looked out the window as the house began to go away.
"Kaoru are you sure your fine?"
"... yeah. I'll be fine."
Three days later....
Kaoru had detention because Tomoe was in her class and she had cursed her out all over again. She told her 'Shut the fuck up', 'Get the fuck out my face', 'Go back to the hole you came from bitch', and 'I hope you choke on a dick'. She didn't have the car either, so she had to walk home. And since they confiscated her cell phone and Kenshin had to take it home, she had no way of calling. It was dark as she walked home. She held her bookbag close to her as she walked down the dark street. She knew a short cut through an alley way, so she decided to just take it to get home faster. That was her first mistake.
"Hello there." Kaoru froze and turned around fast. She felt her heart begin to beat faster as she saw the face. Her eyes were widened in shock and she began to back away from the man standing before her.
"Kaoru why do you back away from me?" Kaoru didn't answer. The man walked over to her in swift steps and he grabbed her hand tight and held it above her head. Then he grabbed the other one and he held it in the same way. Kaoru winced in pain as he gripped it tight.
"E-Enishi let me go." she said in pain.
"Now why should I when I can get what I want right now?" she looked up into his eyes and she felt fear as she saw his eyes in amusement and lust. She began to squirm and move, but his hold was tight.
"Enishi please let me go. I have to get home to Yahiko!" she began to move and try to get out, but he only held it tighter. Enishi laughed and he then punched her in the stomach. She gasped and she fell forward in pain as she held her stomach and bent over.
"You think it was right what you did to my sister?"
"Who's your s-sister?" she asked in pain as she slowly rose to her feet. He kicked her and she screamed as she fell again.
"Tomoe Yukishiro. She's in your class!" he hit her again and then she screamed again.
"You humiliated her! You made her look weak. You beat her up in that hallway. And for who? Kenshin Himura? You know damn well that he doesn't love you anyway. He's just getting even with Tomoe. But you don't understand that!" she screamed again as he hit her. She saw him remove his jacket and his shirt and she began to fear for the worst. Her body was in pain and it was slowly shutting down. He threw her bookbag over the fence.
"And there's another reason why I'm gonna make your life a living hell. For the simple reason you left me. You didn't give me what I wanted. You had me locked up for six months." he laid her flat on the ground. Kaoru began to scream for help, but the area was so abandoned. All the apartment buildings or the old buildings were empty because of a fire. And nobody had bothered to fix it. Enishi had already pulled her shirt above her head, he ripped it, and tore her bra away and he was fiddling with her pants. He was so heavy and he laid on her legs so she couldn't kick him. He pulled her pants down and Kaoru began to scream. But he was smart and he put her shirt in her mouth. He opened his pants and Kaoru began to scream and cry as tears were rolling down her cheek. She managed to spit the shirt out and beg for him to stop.
"Enishi stop! Don't do this! This is mad! Enishi please stop! I don't want this!"
"But it's not about what you want! It's what I want now! I'm sick of you and your needs!" Kaoru felt him hit her across the cheek and she began to cry louder. Then she screamed out loud as she felt him. She began to scream and cry as he hurt her bad. She was getting dizzy as he went in and out of her like a wildman. She kept on screaming and yelling, and her body wasn't responding to her. It was responding to Enishi.
"Stop... please! STOP!" She begged and then he put his hand over her mouth to keep her screams quiet. She bit him and then he hit her hard again. She kept on crying and trying to push him off, but it was no use. He was too strong for her. Then she felt something bust inside of her and she screamed out loud again. He pulled out of her and then he fixed himself up. He then looked down on her and he smiled a sick and twisted smile.
"I hope you feel this forever. To know that your now somebody's toy." he spit on her before walking out of the alley. Kaoru kept on crying as she pulled her pants up the best way she could. Her shirt was ruined and she had no way of walking home. So she pulled herself up and she climbed over the fence the best way she could. There was a meadow behind it, so she just moved slowly and in pain with her bookbag. She was bleeding in places all over her body and she had purple marks on her wrists, her stomach, and her arms and the sides of her mouth. She dropped down onto her knees and then she fell into the flowers and a hard object hit her head. Her mind went dark and her world went into the shadows.
It was raining and Kaoru didn't wake up. She was still lying there with a bite mark on her arm for some animal. She wasn't waking up and she was in trouble if nobody found her.
Kenshin was worried as soon as they had called him the next morning saying that Kaoru was gone. So he got dressed with the rest of his house and they went to look for her with the Kamiyas and Tommy. Misao and Megumi and Sanosuke were with them as they looked all around. They checked in all spots split up, and then they saw they were an hour late for school. Kenshin was driving and then he saw the alleyway. He stopped and reversed. He got out with his brother, Aoshi, Tommy, and Tai. Then he called everybody and told them to come. He went ahead and he saw her bra. They feared the worst.
"Oh no... Kaoru!" they hopped over the fence and then they ran to her. When they saw her, they gasped. Tai went over into a corner and he threw up. Kenshin picked up his phone and he called them to hurry up. Then he called an ambulance. Aoshi and Tommy were there with Kaoru. She wasn't waking up. He saw the mark on her head and knew she hit her head on the rock. Kenshin went over and he lifted her up and cradled her as he tried to wake her up. Tears streamed down as he was worried she was dying.
"Kaoru please wake up." Shinji hopped the fence and he saw his daughter and the ambulance people rushing over. The police were there as well.
"NO!" they held him back and then he broke through them and he ran to his daughter, his eyes already filled with tears. He bent down and he began to call out to her, getting soaking wet.
"Kaoru! Kaoru it's daddy baby please!" the police began to pull him back.
"Get off of me! That's my child!" Asahi went over and he placed a hand on his shoulder with Jackel as they pulled him away. Shinji held onto his twin as he began to sob and cry. Kenshin was curled up into a ball and just sobbing like the others. The police felt sorry and then they began to look around.
"You kids go to school." Kenshin was pulled up before his father held him. Tommy had never seen his best friend cry, and it kinda hurt him.
"She should have stayed there! I was coming back for her because I knew that it was a bad idea to walk home this late!" the ambulance had taken her up and put a sheet over her upper body before putting her in the ambulance and speeding off. Shinji had offered to go with the ambulance. Asahi had went as well.
The others went to this house and Kenshin and the others kids who lived there went to school. Kenshin walked through the halls tears running down his face. Misao had went home and Megumi just skipped. Sanosuke rubbed his back trying to help him. Kenshin slid down to the floor and he let out more of his tears.
"I should have stayed like I said I was going to!" Aoshi held himself together before picking him up and making him wipe his tears. They went into the classroom and then Kenshin gave his note. They saw him just crying. Soujiro had refused to cry to be strong for his brother. Kenshin leaned against the wall and he kept on crying. He then sat down in his seat before putting his head down and crying.
"Mr. Himura do you need a Guidance Counselor?" Kenshin looked up.
"Do you know who held Kaoru late yesterday?"
"Um yes... it was her computer teacher."
"He didn't offer her a ride home?!" Kenshin was hurt and mad at the same time and Soujiro saw his eyes flipping out. He pushed his head back down and then the teacher asked what was wrong. Kenshin looked up before glaring hard at the teacher.
"How can you hold a student until six o' clock? She must have been with more than one teacher then, because it's against the law. Who else held Kaoru yesterday?"
"Let me see... It was her computer teacher, her science teacher, and her math. It seemed that she got it all for the same reason. Arguing with Tomoe." Kenshin felt it click in his head and then he went down the steps. Soujiro, Aoshi, and Sanosuke tried to hold him back and then Tommy had to get up.
"Where is Enishi?" he looked at Tomoe.
"Why are you asking?"
"WHERE THE FUCK IS HE?! I HAVE NO TIME FOR GAMES!" Tomoe glared at him before looking at how gold his eyes were.
"He's in the room down the hall." Kenshin went to the teacher before talking softly. The students were getting scared at how angry he was. It seemed he was going to do something wild.
"I need you to call Enishi Yukishirou into this room and say his sister needs something."
"But I can't just do that-"
"DO IT!" she decided not to see what would happen if she didn't and she went to the phone and picked it up.
"Um hi it's the eleventh and twelth grade teacher for reading. I need him to come to my room because he left some things. Thank you." she hung it up.
"I did what you said Mr. Himura. Now tell me what this is all about." Kenshin didn't answer and then Aoshi spoke.
"Something happened to Kaoru last night and now she's in the hospital." Kenshin growled and he then took off his jacket and his button up as he gritted his teeth. He was ready to kill. Tomoe knew what was going on and as soon as Enishi got into the room she said, 'Enishi go!' Kenshin went up and he pushed Enishi to the wall with the pole for the window. He had it at his throat. He then pushed it away and he threw him to the floor and held him there.
"What's your deal man?!"
"You think your funny? You think your smart?! I saw your watch there Enishi! I know it was you! You raped her! You raped Kaoru you sick fuck!"
"IT WAS HIM?!" Kenshin looked in the doorway to see Shinji himself standing there. It had started to pour now and he was soaking wet. Kenshin let him up and then Enishi began to back away. Asahi and Shuichi saw his eyes for murder and Jackel ordered them to hold him. Tommy and Aoshi went over and helped them hold him. The teacher called for the cops to come.
"You did that to my baby! You defiled her and left her there like she was nothing but some whore?! You think you can just do that to her?! Just because she wouldn't give it up to you?! And because she hurt your bitch of a sister here?!"
"Hey!"
"Stay out of this or I might turn on you too." Tomoe sat back down.
"I'll kill you." the cops came into the room as Shinji had broke out. They grabbed him.
"I'll kill you! You think you can do that to my pride and joy?! You raped her! You sick twisted fuck! I'll kill you with my bear hands if you ever how your face to me!" the cops went to Enishi.
"Hey what the hell?"
"Just come with us young man. Your not in trouble. We're just taking you down to talk." Shinji had to be locked in the back seat of his van as he was raging and just wild.
"WATCH! I'M GONNA BUST YOUR HEAD BOY! JUST LIKE YOU HIT HER HEAD! I'LL KILL YOU!"
Kenshin sat down in the van that they had brought and he sighed before they all just had to leave school. Shinji stopped after a while and he just broke down into tears.
"That's my child Asahi. Kaoru has so many problems already, what is gonna happen to her?" Kenshin began to cry again as well and he put his head in his hands as he let out his frustration and his anger and his sorrow. He was hurting for Kaoru. They all were.
R.S.: Sad chapter. Very sad. It hurt me to write this.
Tell me what you think. And happy New Year again to all.
