It's always that one person

by Rampaging Sorrow

Chapter Five: It's so hard to keep calm

Kenshin sat by Kaoru's bed as she lay there, unconscious. She had been treated for the bite mark and she was bandaged all over. Genia had passed out when they read what happened to her and how many bruises she had. Tara was so hurt, she just cried herself to sleep. It had been a week since the attack and Kenshin had just kept on leaving school early and going there. They couldn't stop him everytime he came. He was a man in love, set to see her, even if she was asleep. He brought things everytime he came. He brought roses, teddy bears, chocolate, necklaces, and anything he could find. People gave them 'Come back soon' cards and they kept on putting them in her room. Some of the stuff had to be put somewhere else.

Kaoru had went into concussion as soon as her head hit that rock and she hadn't woke up. And it didn't get any better. She had been having serious seizures daily. It was mostly at night and it rarely occurred when Kenshin was there. He would stand on his toes and he would move back and forth slightly just thinking and playing games on his phone. He was getting more absences and the school called his house, but his father didn't bother to do anything. Kenshin was a broken man at the moment, and he honestly wouldn't care.

Shinji was so hurt, that he honestly went into a complete shutdown and he stopped doing everything. He was more depressed and he had to go with Asahi back to his house so Asahi could take care of him. He didn't want to do anything. Karen felt bad because she had never seen him like that. He didn't go to work, he didn't go home, he didn't do anything. He just laid around on his bed or the porch swing and slept most of the day. Asahi then began to try and give his brother more love to keep him lively, but it wasn't working. So finally, Shinji just had enough and he would just eat, run it off, and go in his bed and put the covers over his head like Micheal was doing.

Kenshin went to the hospital once again. It was ten thirty-three and he just had himself today. He didn't bring anything. When he got to the room, he saw Shinji sitting there in a business pants and his shirt unbuttoned. He had her hand close to his heart and Kenshin couldn't help but smile as he saw Kaoru's hands moving from curling into a ball and going back out flat. Kenshin went over and he sat down as Shinji looked over at him with a smile.

"She's responding more and the seizures have just stopped all together. I think she's making a full recovery. I just want her to open her eyes though. Such beautiful blue eyes shouldn't be locked away in a deep sleep."

"I know where your coming from because everytime I look into her eyes, I just feel happy." Shinji nodded before he kissed her hands and her fingers. Kenshin watched as a soft smile came up on Kaoru's lips. Shinji then moved closer and he told Kenshin to move closer as well. Kenshin put her hand to his heart and she moved her hand slightly. Kenshin then let a smile play on his lips as Shinji took her hand back.

"Even with all her bruises, she still has her cheerful self. She use to do this even when she was younger and I would wake her up. When she was a baby, I would just pick her up and she would always manage to find my heart with her hand even with her eyes closed and she would do the same thing. And I would always playfully put her finger in my mouth and she would grip my chin and smile at me. And I'm just so surprised that through the years, she still does it now."

He smiled as she moved her hands gently and he then he began to kiss her fingers again. The doctor came in and then he greeted them and he began to do his daily check up on Kaoru. They backed away and then he rubbed a part of her arm in alcohol. He then took a needle and he pushed it gently in her arm. Then he injected the fluid into her arm. He pulled it out and then he looked at them.

"Kaoru is doing very well from when she first got in here. She's making a full recovery. Soon she'll be awake. But we just have to hope and pray." he exited the room and then Shinji pulled his seat closer. Kenshin did as well. Then he smiled before holding her hand and just pushing some of the strands from her face. He took his hand and he opened her eye. He then sighed as he looked into the fading blue.

"Such a beautiful light blue. I am so sorry that this happened to you baby. I promis i'll make everything right baby girl. I promise. And Kenshin is here because he wants to help too. So just open your eyes and look at us baby. Just open your eyes." he let go and he then kissed her forehead and he rubbed her hand with his thumb. Kenshin put his hand on Shinji's shoulder as he put his head in his hands and let some of his hidden inside tears spill. He sighed before sniffing and wiping his tears.

"Otou-san... Otou-san... douko... shita... no?" Shinji looked up with Kenshin to hear Kaoru's voice and breathing softly. Shinji looked up and then he saw her open her eyes slowly. Her fading blue was still the same, but it was going to take time. Shinji began to smile as he wiped his tears.

"It's you. You're what's wrong. You make you father cry."

"I'm sorry... daddy." she turned her eyes to Kenshin and she couldn't help but smile.

"Hi..."

"Hey. How are you feeling?"

"Much... better."

"That's good." she then winced and she looked up at the ceiling. Shinji helped her sit up. Kaoru then felt her head. The bandages were gone and then she looked at her bandaged hands. It wasn't in a cast. It was just bandaged. He raised her bed up.

"Are you hungry Kaoru?" she nodded and then Shinji got up and he kissed her cheek before going off. Kenshin went into his chair and then he looked at her eyes. He then took his hand and he put it gently on the side of her face.

"Your blue isn't the same. Give me that beautiful blue that makes me crazy." Kaoru smiled and then Kenshin gave her a soft peck before watching her hiss in pain. He helped pull her knees up and then she hissed in pain again before looking over at Kenshin.

"Kenshin... who found me?" Kenshin felt a pain in his chest as he looked into her eyes.

"Please tell me!" she wanted to know and she hissed in pain again as her chest hurt.

"I found you Kaoru. Do you even remember everything that happened?" she shook her head.

"Kaoru, Enishi raped you, didn't he?" Kaoru looked down and felt tears coming to her eyes. She began to cry and she nodded as she put her head in her hands. Kenshin saw her tears spilling through her fingers.

"I couldn't stop him! He just kept on hitting me and then he threw me down and he just wouldn't stop. My whole body was numb as he laid on my legs. I couldn't move and he pushed my hands above my head. I felt so used, so beaten. He wouldn't stop no matter how hard I cried, I kept on crying for him to stop, I bit him, I screamed and I hollered, but he just kept on using me until he was done and then I just climbed over the fence and I fell into the meadow. Then it just went black. I don't know what happeend after that. And I could hear you come every day and I could hear you cry to me and I could hear my father cry into my side and I just felt so bad because you guys were crying over me and just hurting. And I didn't want anything like this to happen."

Kenshin went and he hugged her as she cried and put her head on her knees and just cried. Then she began to cry harder until she was sobbing. Kenshin kept on holding her and rubbing her back softly.

"Ssssh. Stop crying Kaoru." Shinji came into the room and Kenshin began to explain. Then he put everything down and he went and hugged her close to him. He kissed her forehead before letting go.

"But what if I get pregnant?" she said looking up, the tears running down her face.

"I don't want that! Not by Enishi! He did it because of Tomoe, and he did it to make Kenshin feel awful. He just did it to hurt you and me and to make her feel much better. I... I feel so used. I feel so dirty... like a regular whore." She let her hair slide in her fingers and she cried in her hands again. Kaoru began to stop and then she felt a sharp pain in her chest. She fell over in pain and then Shinji went outside the hall and then began to call for help. Kenshin put her onto her back and then he began to feel her pulse.

"It's speeding up." he said scared. Kaoru began to freak out and she began to scream and hold her chest in pain. The doctors came in and then they told Shinji and Kenshin to leave. They took everything out and they saw the tears streaming as she screamed and cried out in pain. They went down the hall and then they sat down in the chairs.

"I just hope she's okay."

"I know what happened. She had emotional stress. It just turned into an attack of somesort and now she's in pain." Kenshin sighed before running his fingers through his hair and blew his air upward. Today was not a good day.

Kenshin was lying in his bed that night just thinking. His purple eyes were bright as he looked up at the ceiling. He then heard his door open and he saw his sister come in. He felt her lay next to him and then he turned his eyes to look at her.

"Wanna talk about something Kenshin?"

"Sure." Netalia got comfy and then the rest of them got in. Tai, Tommy, and Soujiro. They laid down on the floor and soon Kenshin went on the floor as well.

"Kaoru... she has emotional stress and it turns into an attack. I just saw it today. I just hope she's okay.... gods what did Enishi do to her? He just broke her soul, man. The blue light in her eyes is gone, and now it's just a faded dying blue."

"Poor Kaoru. She didn't deserve it. She's such a good kid. She's so positive." Kenshin nodded before turning and laying on is back. He blew up at the air before looking down.

"I honestly love Kaoru with all my heart. I just don't know what to do right now."

Kaoru was still in the hospital and Kenshin just kept on leaving school earlier and earlier. Today was no different. He looked at his watch before getting up in the middle of class and packing up. It was only nine thirty. The teacher looked up as he shut his book and his pens.

"Mr. Himura where are you going?"

"I'm going to the hospital. I'm late already." he said it in a flat tone. Then he looked at Tommy and Soujiro. Aoshi was absent that day and so was Sanosuke. The other two began to pack up and then Kenshin put his work in the work bin before going to the door and letting the other two go first.

"Get back here!" Kenshin waved with a smile before leaving the school. They got in the car before driving away.

Kaoru was in there making balloon animals. One of the nurses had taught her how. She was so bored that when she watched him, she was just fascinated. She then began to twist it and she pouted. She heard a laugh and then she looked up to see the three. She gave a soft smile before Tommy went over and began to make one. She said 'wow' as he had made a animal with a long neck.

"Thanks!" he smiled at her before they sat down. Kenshin pulled out a book before passing it to her. She looked at it and then she gasped.

"Thanks! I've wanted this forever!"

"I stole it from the school library. Don't tell." She gave him a light smile before looking through it. Tommy had cards and so they just began to play cards for a while. Then Kaoru was forced to eat breakfast and the nurses came in and helped her up. She was in bed so much, that she needed to exercise her legs. They took her to a certain hall and then she began to walk up and down the poles. Kenshin was lost so he had asked the doctors with Tommy.

"She was just so hurt that her legs shut off on her. We just want her to get the feeling in her legs again. That's all."

She was walking back and forth and then she just got tired and they sat her down. She smiled at Kenshin and then he smiled back at her before walking fast.

"Ha look what I can do." Kaoru rolled her eyes at him and then she saw Soujiro give her a ribbon. She thanked him before tieing her hair up into a high ponytail. She then got up and Tommy began to walk around her with the other two. Then they laughed as she sat down again in frustration. She smiled at them before blowing her hair. She turned her head and she looked at her father walk down the hall with Aoshi.

"Daddy! Aoshi!" they smiled as she got up and then began to stumble slightly. Kenshin helped her and then she shooed him away before walking over. She was tripping and then she fell into his arms. He hugged her and then she put her hand to his heart and she began to clench and unclench her hands. He kissed her forehead before Aoshi hugged her and spun her around before letting her stand straight. She fell backwards and Tommy slid a pillow over to her. She fell in it and then she looked up into her father's eyes with an innocent eyed smirk. He smirked at her before helping her up and she began to walk step by step again until the feeling came back and she was running full speed down the hall. She kept on going back and forth and then she stopped as Kenshin jumped out and grabbed her up and began to playfully attack her neck like he was some rabid dog. She giggled and laugh as he bit and tickled her and then he let go. Shinji couldn't help but smile at Kenshin. He saw the boy look like he was dead, now he was happy. Very happy.

Kenshin sighed as he walked up to the school, Kaoru clinging to his arm in nervousness. So far her body still had some bandages and her hands were still bandaged up. She had bandage around her waist as well and her leg. She also had some cuts on her arms and her she had a cut on her cheek, making her look like a baseball player. She was wearing a simple pair of pajama pants and a matching shirt like Kenshin was. Both were wearing blue. Kaoru went to her locker before going to Kenshin as he shut his and hugging him around the waist and putting her head on his chest. Kenshin smiled before raising her arms to his stomach and he kissed her as she gave a soft smile.

"I'm nervous. What will the people say?" Kenshin looked down into her eyes and he saw her eyes still the fading blue, but they were coming back. To people, they were blue and gray. He kissed her again before resting his forehead on hers.

"Don't care. Just come in, and do exactly what you have to do to pass the class. Next time if Tomoe says anything, when you've had enough, just get up, pack your stuff, and then call your father as your leaving the room and tell him why. Okay?" she nodded before he let go and they went to class.

Kaoru was welcomed back by the whole class from her three week absence. She hugged Misao and Megumi and thanked them for worrying about her.

"It's what best friends do." they told her and she hugged Sanosuke and thanked him as well. He rubbed her back and then she sat down next to Misao and Megumi before the three began to talk just like they use to. Kaoru was happy that she was able to talk to them again.

"Guys what did I miss?" she asked as she pulled her hair into a high ponytail.

"Nothing. We've just... been talking to Kenshin and we've been trying to get to know him." Misao said.

"And why is this?"

"Because he's your boyfriend. But it was hard so we just didn't get anywhere. He just kept on getting up in the middle and leaving the building." Kaoru giggled before she let her hair rest from her pulling it tight. She was getting glares and threats from Tomoe.

"Ignore it." Kenshin said as he stood up to collect the papers from above him.

"I'm trying." she said gritting her teeth.

"Honestly I am." Kaoru was getting them for the next ten minutes and then finally she had it. She packed up her things like Kenshin told her and she pulled out her phone. She dailed him as she tied her shoes and then she heard his voice.

"Hey baby girl. What's wrong?" she began to walk down the steps.

"I'm leaving the room."

"What? Why baby girl?"

"Because that bitch keeps on threatning me."

"Who?"

"Tomoe. She keeps on threatning me and i'm gonna beat her ass." she opened the door with some colorful words that made the other kids begin to whisper and 'oooo.'

"Hell yes i will. I don't give a fuck bout no teachers. I'll knock their ass out too. I hate this fucking place right now. Don't even wanna be here." and she shut the door. Kenshin smiled a slick smile at Tomoe and then Misao leaned over.

"You told her to leave?... good idea. Nice."

"Thanks. I just didn't want her to get in trouble."

Kaoru sat down in her science class, pissed off. Her father didn't want her home yet. He said he was 'doing something important.' She asked if he was with some girl and he said 'nah. This is for you. I don't want you to see it yet.' So she was forced to stay there. She couldn't go with Shuichi since he was in a tight class and Genia was at her dorm for the moment and she couldn't go up there. She kept on bouncing her leg slightly as she sat by the window with her friends, her brother, and her man.

"Kaoru cool off. Just ignore her." Kaoru pulled out her phone in the middle of the room and she called her father again.

"Is it her?"

"I swear i'll rip her weave out daddy. She plays to fucking much."

"Didn't Kenshin say to ignore her?"

"I have been trying."

"I didn't do nothin' to you Kamiya so stop bull-shitting to daddy." Tomoe sneered as she turned around.

"Why don't you shut the fuck up." she said.

"Kaoru." she put her father on speaker phone.

"Daddy I'm stressing out. My hands are starting to hurt, my stomach is giving off waves of pain everytime I bend forward, and i'm getting a headache CAUSE THE BITCH WON'T STOP TALKING! SHUT THE FUCK UP AND SAY THAT SHIT TO MY FACE!"

"Kaoru calm down right now."

"I can't! She is getting on my last nerve!"

"Walk out. I'll have Genia come and get you. What class are you in?"

"Science. I don't wanna be in this room. I hate this fucking class. Can you at least come and get me?"

"How can I get you when i'm doing something for you? I don't want you to see. And I just text messaged your sister. She's already on the road there. She should be there in three... two... one." Kaoru hung up the phone and she saw her sister enter the room. She got up and she put her pen away and her book. She then pushed in her chair and she gave Kenshin a quick peck before going to the door and exiting with her sister. The teacher sighed before hitting his on the desk over and over.

"Lord why. Why oh why oh why."

Kaoru stood outside the next room with her sister. She was standing there as her sister told her what to do. She was still pissed off.

"Why can't I just sit in your class?"

"Because the teacher won't let you. He doesn't want three fresh women."

"Who's the other one?"

"Netalia. She cursed some guy out yesterday and told him to suck off. So he won't. Just ignore her." Kaoru 'hmphed'.

"Don't give me that. I would happily take you."

"Then just take me!"

Kenshin looked on as he saw Kaoru and her sister in the hallway, Genia trying to put her sister in the room. The door finally opened and Aoshi went to the door before stepping out and shutting it. The class was reading, but they watched as Kaoru stomped and said 'No fair! She started her shit!'

"Kaoru please. Just for daddy. He's working very hard on setting your gift up. Please bear with him. Besides it's almost Kamiya-presents day anyway."

"Oh seriously? Yes!" Kaoru began to hop up and down and she saw her sister come in to hug her. Kaoru hugged her back before she began to walk.

"Eno camina demi y dejando mesola!(Don't just walk away and leave me alone!)" Genia turned around before waving with a pretty smile. She then flung down a Yoohoo for Kaoru and one for Aoshi.

"And Netalia says this is for Tommy!" she ran back and gave Aoshi a note before kissing his cheek and Kaoru's and then just leaving the place. Aoshi and Kaoru paused before going in.

"Kaoru just please relax. Don't make daddy hurt again. Wanna know what he said when he was gone and just getting back?"

"What did he say?"

"He said it to me in a different language because he was just so spaced out. 'Yo llre mi corazon(I cried my heart out)' He was honestly hurt. Just don't make him sad. He's getting you a gift, so you know you've been doing better and he's happy your alive and well. So please?"

He gave her a look of 'do it for me?' and then she sighed before nodding. They went in and Kaoru opened her Yoohoo and she began to drink it with Aoshi. She sat down at her seat before Aoshi did as well and he gave Tommy the thing from Genia. He opened the little message first before reading it twice. He burst out laughing.

"Ahem!" he looked up and then apologized for his outburst. He then smiled.

"Oh my sexy mommy Netalia." he then opened the small box and he gasped as he saw his chain. Kids said 'ooo' and they went over to look at it as he examined it.

"Wow she got it made for me. She is so sweet." it had his initials and hers on the bottom with a little star and the middle. He then smiled before placing it on his neck and kissing it.

"SIT DOWN!" the kids jumped before sitting down. Tommy put the box away and beginning to work again. Kaoru was happy as she didn't get in trouble as she was in this class. She siped on her Yoohoo before she gave a pretty smile to Kenshin. He put his finger on her lip and then he traced it before kissing his finger and doing it again. He smiled at her as she kissed his finger before he pulled away and they began to work again. Kaoru saw Tomoe glaring and then she stuck out her tongue. Tommy went over and he just let his middle finger loose and just smiled an evil smile. Kaoru couldn't help but laugh.

Kaoru was walking around outsidewith Misao and the others. They then just began to walk around the whole area.

"Hola mami!" Kaoru stopped before turning around a little. She a group of guys walking after her and the others. She smiled before they kept on walking. They knew she spoke spanish because they had caught her in the hallway so they just began to speak it to her. She couldn't help but crack a smile as she heard them.

"Hola mami! A donde tu uas?(Hello mommy! Where are you going?!)"

"Nowhere! Just around!"

"Uen am, casa y abla con migo amor!(Come over and talk to me love!)"

"I can't!" she yelled.

"Porque no!(Why not?!)"

"Estoy Conjido!(I'm taken!)" she yelled to them. They said 'Awwww' before she smiled a pretty smile and turned with them to go back. Before she went back, she went up to the prettiest before looking him dead into his eyes as she stopped at him.

"If I wasn't going with Kenshin, we would probably be together sexy." she grabbed him softly before kissing his cheek and running off and catching up with her friends.

Kaoru was once again pissed. Tomoe and her little group of friends were just calling her 'bitch' all through the area and Tomoe had threatened her that their round two was going to be on her wins. So Kaoru got into the room and there was the math teacher just chillin' out as the talked so she could get ready to do the lesson. Tomoe was just threatening her with taunts, rude jokes, and just pushing her. So Kaoru called her father.

"She's at it again?"

"I swear to god i'll fuck her up. She won't leave me alone."

"Okay I see. She really wants to fight you." she heard him think.

"She just did it again!"

"Okay I see. Well... there's nothing I can do. If she wants to fight you, then fuck her up. I'm giving you full permission. Fuck-her-up Kaoru. I gotta go pick up something from the post office. Don't come home with a loss before I beat your ass myself."

"Thank you thank you thank you!" Kaoru hung up before going into the room and looking at Tomoe. She put her phone in Kenshin's lap before she and Tomoe began to argue. Kaoru was setting it all up. She sat down before Tomoe said, 'Fight me then.'

"Alright cool. I just got the permission from my daddy to fuck you up." She took off her chain, her watch, her earrings, and her bracelet before puling off her shirt.

"Come shoot that fair one."

"oooooo." Tomoe got up before doing the same and going out into the hall. Kaoru saw her sister, Netalia, Tai, and Shuichi walking up as she got out there. The teachers couldn't stop it. Kenshin and the others wouldn't let them. Kaoru and her began to circle around before Tomoe swung. Kaoru connected with her cheek and Tomoe got her stomach. Kaoru began to fight real hard and like a man. Shuichi and Genia were surprised and just jumping with the others as Kaoru just began to beat her ass again. Kaoru saw one of her friends walk up and she turned and she swung at her hard and just sent her into the floor, punching her till she didn't get up. She went back to Tomoe before knocking her down and just stomping her. She saw Enishi just come into the circle and try to push her off. She flipped out on him too before hooking him right in his jaw and just turning and punching him in his cheek and his stomach. She was on a rampage and then security just called the cops as Enishi was ready to hit her like a man. Kenshin jumped in before he could hit her and he grabbed his fist before punching him square in the face. Then Aoshi, Shuichi, Tommy, Soujiro and Sanosuke began to just stomp him out. It was like a regular school jump. Kaoru was pulled away by cops and then she was put in cuffs. She smiled as she blew some hair from her face.

"Round too belongs to me Weavy! And I fucked up your friend and I knocked your brother down! Who's the bitch now! Talk all that shit and you just got fucked up again! And my homeboys jumped your raping brother! So what now?!" she broke out of their grip and she went to her before kicking her and her brother in the shins.

"My crew can't be stopped! We're unstoppable! And this goes on through the other schools too! So bring ya crews! We could have a gang war, I don't give a fuck! I just fuck you up again!" she did it again before going up to her and pulling some weave out.

"And I got some weave too!" the cops finally picked her up as she sang her song.

"I fucked you up

I really fucked you up

I beat that bitch

Who thought she was da shit."

Kaoru's father sighed as he went to the station and saw her just rampaging against the lockers. He had saw what she did to Tomoe, and he didn't want her to beat her up like that. He was kinda ashamed in himself for letting her fight and he wanted to talk to her.

"Let me out son! I got my rights!" As soon as they let her go, she saw her father and she didn't think straight. She saw how shocked his face was after what they told him. She knew he was going to say something. So she did what came into her head first. She ran. She ran down the street and around the corner. Kenshin ran to the door as soon as Shinji said 'Kaoru!' but she was gone. Kenshin looked back and he sighed.

"Let's go and find her before somebody comes and hurts her. She is unarmed."

Kaoru was walking down the street. She had stopped at a friend's house and hse grabbed her big black coat, her bat, and her knife. She was ready to fight to the death at the moment, because she had no cares in the world. Just as long as she could fight somebody that came up to her. She walked to another street before she saw a guy standing at the end as if he was frozen. Kaoru then saw him walk up to her and she knew he was friends with Enishi. She got ready to fight before he swung at her. She ducked before giving him a punch to the stomach. She then gave him a low blow before pulling out her bat and just smacking it over his head. He dropped down before Kaoru just stomped him out until she could have sworn she heard more of them coming. And she was right. There was about five more just surrounding her. She then sighed before she picked up her bat and just began to fight the best way she could. She jumped out before just swinging and hitting on in the back. He dropped along with two more before she saw one creeping up and she hit him hard as she had turned around. The last one was going to stab her. So she hit him before taing her pocket knife and just stabbing him in his arm. She hit him again before she dropped. She knew somebody called the police when she heard sirens making noise.

"Shit." she dropped her jacket before just pulling off her sneakers and running. She knew they would know it was her, but she needed to run fast. She saw the fence and she hopped the fence before going into the woods path. She then could have swon that she heard Kenshin saying 'Kaoru stop!'

"Dammit." she saw the lake that she had found the animals in, and she just prayed there were no animals before diving in. She was swimming like a bullet under water before coming up and just taking a breath before going back under. It was better that way since she was faster. She came up and just went ht rest of the way on top before she heard Kenshin and the others yeling as they chased her to stop. She kept on going until she knew she was close to her neighborhood. She jumped over the fences before going to her basement door. She unlocked it fast with the password before stripping her clothes and throwing them into the garbage as she made wet foot prints across the yard. She jumped into the basement before locking it and sitting in a corner. She was cold, so she looked around and she went and she picked up a pair of pants and a towel. She dried off before putting on the towel. She then put the pants on before looking around. She saw a black button-up and a wife beater. She put those on as well before just searching for some black forces. She finally found a pair that she had left down there before placing them on and just taking out her rubber band and messing with her slightly wet hair. She combed her fingers through it before pulling it into a tight midway ponytail. She went up before opening a little hole and just looking through. She sighed as she thought they were gone. She was wrong. As soon as she opened it, they pulled her up and she felt cold things being put around her wrists.

"Hey!" she began to kick and yell, but Kenshin and Tommy wouldn't let go. She saw Kenshin's cold look.

"Are you really gonna do this?" he didn't answer. They just took her out front to the cop car and they just put her in before pushing her all the way in harsh before shutting the door. She felt betrayed by them all, so she looked up at them with a hurt look. Then she nodded.

"Okay. I got everybody know. I know who's who. I understand clearly who's on who's side." and with that, they rolled up her window and the cop car pulled off. Kenshin felt bad, but he had to do it. She stabbed that guy. He didn't think it was right.

Two weeks later.
Kaoru yawned as she walked to school. She had just woken up, so she just took a shower and put on her pajamas again before heading out of the hosue with her bookbag. She didn't know what the surprise was, because she was held at a different house that they owned. She then began to pull her hair up before brushing the back and then she let it down. She couldn't get to her rubber band, so she just said 'fuck it' for the time being. She saw the building and she knew she was late. She ran up the steps before going in and just going to her first period class, which was History.

"Hey Mr. Summers. Sup?"

"Chillin'. Now take a seat right here with me so I can talk to you." Kaoru went and she sat down before getting ready for a long conversation. Tomoe wasn't there, but her bookbag was. Kaoru was teling her side of the story and soon Mr. Summers understood it all.

"Alright. Now do you wanna sit anywhere?"

"Right here is fine." she said sharply. He nodded before he told her what she had to do. She put on her MP3 player over her ears before Mr. Summers put a hand on hers.

"Kenshin's group needs one more person. Can you go? Since you guys are all good friends and there's groups of ten, it should be better." Kaoru didn't even answer. Then she spoke.

"Why? They have enough smart people. I might just stab his ass anyway." and with that she put one her MP3 player and she placed it once more.

It was all hip-hop, hardcore rap, and R&B. She mostly had heard the first two. She was just walking around and passing papers out. She then got to their group and she did it in the most rudest way possible. She just put it down with a hard slam. Then she glared before turning and finishing up. She stopped as she saw Tomoe walk in. Her arm was in a cast. The two stopped before staring at each other long and hard.

Tomoe then turned away like she was scared before sitting down at her desk and just working. Kaoru put the rest of the papers and she then began to pack up as it was almost time to go. She was LATE that BAD. The bell rang as 'Envy Me' by Game came on. She started it over before just blasting it and hugging Mr. Summers. She left the room and she began to just wander around. Kenshin tried to get to her, but she pulled away fierce.

"Touch me again and I break your fingers." she then turned on her heels before blasting it again and walking off, leaving him, Tommy, Aoshi, and Soujiro in complete shock.

"She never talked to you like that Kenshin."

"I know. She never talked to anybody like that."

By the time the rest of the gang had gotten to the dance room, they were shocked. Kaoru was there in her jeans and her wife beater, but Tomoe was there. And the two were just copying moves and trying to keep up. Kenshin had to rub his eyes to make sure. Then the teacher stopped it and then the two just bowed to teach other before shaking hands and going off. Kaoru had put it back on her MP3 player and she was just starting up all over again. She didn't care who was there, she was just going all around the room. Kaoru then just stopped and just began to wall out in one spot with Katyli who was listening to the same song. Kenshin and the others had sat down as the two were still dancing. Everybody was there, but they didn't stop. Katyli did afterward, but she said forget it. She was just gonna keep on dancing until she felt like stopping. When the song was done, she pulled a guy in before the dancing began. Kenshin didn't dance too much. He just watched as Kaoru danced with the same guy from the club. She then stopped before whispering to him.

She went up to Katyli before the two just began to wall out and dance. More students came in and they just watched the two as the circle was around them. They were just going at it wild and killing moves. Tomoe and her friend had a circle before the circles began to switch up. Then they had to stop since there was so much students coming in and joining in different things with them. Kaoru wiped down before going to the bathroom and getting a quick wash up top. She then put back on her clothes before she heard the bell. She put back on her MP3 player at the same song before she left Mr. Summers' room. She picked up her bookbag before walking down the hall. Aoshi stopped her with Kenshin and Tommy and she turned before giving glares and yanking her arm away from them. She walked off in the other direction, pushing Kenshin to the ground. He was getting mad.

"Cool it Kenshin." Kenshin got up before dusting off. He was gonna give her a piece of his mind.

Kaoru was first to math class. So when Kenshin got in there, she tried to get out. He shut the door before locking it. She looked at his look. She could tell he was angry.

"Move from the door."

"I want to talk to you."

"I said open the door!"

"I WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" Kaoru had never heard him raise his voice. She then moved away and she sighed.

"What do you want from me?"

"I want to know what the fuck is wrong with you. You're treating me like i'm some piece of trash! Man, the trash gets better treatment than what you've been giving me!"

"I don't know what your talking about."

"Don't bullshit me. You are treating me like shit."

"Serves you right."

"For what woman?! We're not getting anywhere!" Kaoru then just began to lash out as the students and the teacher came into the room.

"How could you just turn me in like that?! What kind of love was that?!"

"Kaoru if I didn't turn you in then the cops were gonna throw you down and just mess you up. I took the liberty of doing that shit for them so you weren't hurt. I did it for you!"

"Did you see the way you looked at me?! You looked at me like I was one of those motherfuckers that you fought on the street! You just pushed me into that damn car like I was some thug!"

"I had to! What you did wasn't the best thing in the world ya know!"

"I had to do it!"

"Oh so you had to beat them to unconsciousness with a damn bat?!"

"They were gonna jump me! What the fuck was I suppose to do?! Let them jump me and then maybe rape me?!"

"You didn't have to give them a concussion! Damn!"

"I wasn't getting hurt for nothing! And the last dude pulled a knife on me!"

"You know karate! So why not just throw it aside and knock him out?!"

"Because I wasn't thinking of it! I just wasn't! And so what?! You just turned on me like I was a person you didn't care for! You haven't called me for the past two weeks when I was away!"

"Because I didn't think it was for the best!"

"I CRIED BECAUSE I THOUGHT YOU HATED ME BECAUSE OF WHAT I DID!" Kenshin looked at her.

"I thought you had just turned away because you saw a side of me that I hated to show. A side I always keep bottled up because it'll kill me. I didn't want you to see that... because you wouldn't love me anymore!" she put her hands over her eyes before going out the door. Kenshin followed before locking it again. He pulled Kaoru close and he held her as she let out some tears. She then pulled away before he wiped her tears.

"The only reason that we did that is because if we didn't then you would probably be hurt. We were doing it to make sure you didn't think it was a joke. So please don't be mad at me anymore?" Kaoru looked into his eyes before giving him a soft smile and pressing her lips against him. She began to give him soft kisses before he responded and pulled her away to the under of the stairway. Kenshin pressed her up against the wall before just pressing kisses agains the her lips rough to make up for time since they were away for the past two weeks.

Kaoru laid down on the floor before she heard her phone. Kenshin was snuggling up against her as they all were laying around.

"Hello?"

"Come down to the hospital. Somethig happened to Yahiko at the school."

"WHAT?!

R.S.: What happened to Yahiko? Is it going to mess with her head? Will she be able to think straight? Stay tuned for the next chapter.
