Chapter Six: Kaoru shuts down and things to pass the time while waiting

Kenshin was speeding down the street and heading to the hospital. He was worried out of his mind because Yahiko was there and Kaoru was freaking out. As soon as he got there, Kaoru didn't wait for him to reverse. She jumped out and she ran towards the door. Kenshin just said 'fuck it' and he parked there and he and the others followed her. Kaoru passed the desk because she could hear her sister screaming and crying. She zoomed down the hall and past a bunch of doctors. She knew she was doing to get in trouble when she just hopped over one of the tables. She went up to her sister that was standing and she then put her hands on her shoulders.

"What happened to Yahiko Tara?" Tara didn't hear her as she was too much into her tears.

"Tell me Tara! What happened!"

"I'm sorry Kaoru ... I couldn't grab him in time."

"What happened to Yahiko?" she asked in a softer voice.

"Yahiko... he got hurt." she sat down in the chair and she began to cry harder.

"Tara tell me what happened to him!"

"Yahiko got stabbed Kaoru!" she barked back. Kaoru felt her whole body freeze in shock as Tara looked up at her.

"Yahiko got stabbed at his school. I couldn't push him aside in time. One of the kids and him were just arguing and then when Yahiko turned around, he pulled out the knife and his brother said 'Do what you have to do'. So he stabbed Yahiko. And then Yahiko just dropped. Kaoru, what if he dies?"

"Don't say that!" she yelled as Tara put her head back into her hands.

"Yahiko isn't going to die because Yahiko is too strong for this. I don't care how hurt he is. Yahiko is too strong for this. He won't die!" Kaoru felt the tears coming and then her father came down the hall with her siblings. She went to her father before putting her face into his chest and letting out her tears.

"How can they let the kid into the school with a knife?" Kenshin asked. He was upset about this.

"I have no idea. But this is sick. This is honestly sick."

"Tell me... what did the boy look like?" Kaoru looked up.

"I wanna know."

"Like this." Shinji pulled a paper from the small jacket that belonged to Yahiko. He handed it to Kaoru and she opened the folded picture and she gasped. Gray hair, green eyes, and a smile that was so familiar to her that she knew at an instant.

"Kohi did this... Kenshin, Kohi did this!"

"Kohi?!" Kenshin was shocked.

"Kohi Yukishirou?!" she nodded before Kenshin hit the wall.

"Son of a bitch." Kaoru turned to Tara.

"Did his brother have silver hair and light eyes?" Tara wiped her tears before nodding.

"Daddy hold her." Shinji grabbed his daughter before she could run. She began to curse out nad then Kenshin pulled out his phone and he showed her the number.

"Why do u have it?"

"I stole it the other day because Tommy sent a threat out. Tommy you wanna do it again?" Tommy nodded before blocking his number and telling them all to low it down a little. Tara and Kaoru and Genia just couldn't help it and they began to ball as Tommy heard it pick up.

"You show your face in school, and i'm going to kill you."

"Who the hell is this?"

"Don't play stupid bitch! Think you can just teach a four year old how to stab somebody?! Well i'm gonna come and stab you punk!"

"Well then come over here then! If you can talk shit, then bring your ass over here!"

"Alright! Where do you live?!"

"1673 Cassius Boulevard punk! And if you a true man than you'll meet me there with ya crew!"

"A'ight then! We goin' bang Taran Street Style! And trust me son, you goin' wish you was still in ya bed!" he hung up before looking at Kenshin and Soujiro.

"Let's go." Tommy gave his phone back before pulling out his and calling up his crew.

"Yo Mickey C. Meet me on Cassius Boulevard. Bring half the crew down here. This is war."

"What happened?"

"Remember the little boy that I told you about? The one that could be my son? Well he got stabbed today. Some guy told his brother to do it and now he's in here. We're going all out. You wanna bring a bat, you bring a bat. But no guns or weapons of desturction. Just a bat, a golf pole, and ya fists. I'm ready bang. Bring my bat and then we goin' start it hard."

"A'ight yo. Give my hopes to the little boy to be okay."

"A'ight yo." he hung up before pulling back on his coat and pulling out a black gray bandana. He put it on before he looked up at Shinji.

"I'm sorry Mr. Kamiya, but tonight i'm gonna get locked up. I'll see you later." Kenshin and Soujiro nodded before the three went off down the hall and out the building. Kaoru sat down before wiping her eyes. Shinji looked down at his two daughters before bending down to them.

"Those three... we're going to get them at ten tonight, okay?" the two noded before Kaoru wiped her tears and put her head in her arms as she cried bent forward.

"Yahiko..."

Tommy sat on the floor of his jail cell, just thinking as he looked down at the floor. His golden eyes were dark and tired. Kenshin and Soujiro were just sleeping on the little bed. The three were the only ones to get caught because they stayed behind to give him the full job. He pulled out an harmonica before beginning to play it softly. Then he rose it up and he began to play his song. Kenshin woke up to the noise and then he just sat on the opposite sift of him and began to move his head slightly as he played and tap his knee. Then they saw an officer look at them with a look of disgust.

"Let's go. I'm tired of looking at you three." Tommy got up before waking up Soujiro. The three left the cell and then Tommy went and picked up his bandana.

"Peace out blue dude."

"Shut up blackie."

"Make me white trailer trash." The officer got raged as Tommy jogged off with is middle finger waving. Shinji sighed as he saw the three boys just coming out looking like they had went to the candy convention. They began to jump up and down moving in circles.

"That boy ain't goin' do nothing for a long time." they began to jump and down again before Shinji sighed as they walked out. Tommy saw them heading for the hospital and then he sighed to himself.

"Mr. Kamiya, Tommy knocked his ass out. He literally beat him down sir."

"I feel kinda bad for him though." Soujiro said.

"Tommy just bust him bad. I never saw him like that. Ever. And i've known the boy since kindergarten."

Tommy was standing by the door, waiting for Shinji to come out. He was going to go in and see Yahiko with Kenshin and Kaoru. Shinji came out and then they went in and sat down. Tommy pulled his seat up to Yahiko. Yahiko was a little pale and he was still as he had a mask over his mouth, helping him breathe. Tommy then shakily puled his hand out before resting it on Yahiko's arm. He then held himself together before stroking his hair. Yahiko took a deep breath before going back to soft and even. Tommy brushed some strands from his forehead before just siting there like that. Kaoru and Kenshin looked at him as they saw his eyes water up with tears. Tommy blinked them back before he let out a breath.

"Life is so fucked up." he said softly.

"One moment your just playing and running around... and the next your in some hospital with a scar on your stomach and a whole new different look at the world." Tommy blinked again before then putting his head in his hands and letting some tears go. Netalia walked into the room before just hugging him as he let out some of his tears. He then pulled away and wiped them wit his shirt before pulling it up before his eyes and putting his head in his arms as he bent forward.

"He's crying because his brother had died this way." Kenshin told Kaoru softly.

"His little brother died because of a stab by another kid, just like this. And now he's witnessing it again. The memories must be hard as hell." Tommy let out a choke and a sob.

"Why are you crying... Uncle Tommy?" Tommy pulled his shirt down and he looked up at the bed. Everybody saw Yahiko open his eyes and he began to breathe and speak.

"Don't cry... i'm okay. See?" he raised his hand before showing it to Tommy who smiled at him and let out a small laugh. He stroked his hair and Yahiko looked at his sister Kaoru.

"I'm sorry if I made you scared..."

"It's okay." Kaoru said before kissing his cheek.

"Can I go home?" he asked her.

"No.. not yet. Just go back to sleep." Tommy went to his ear before singing a soft lullaby. Yahiko shut his beautiful, yet hurt ruby eyes, and he fell into slumber.

Kaoru was in class just tired. She was depressed, so she had been going to party almost every night with Kenshin and Tommy. Last night, they had gotten a call from the hospital, that said Yahiko might be able to come home, so she felt a little bit better. Aoshi as nowhere to be seen, and she had looked up from her daze and then began to wonder.

"Where is Aoshi?"

"Don't know." Kaoru then just put her head on the desk before shutting her eyes. Before she could sleep, Aoshi came in with a look of pain on his face. He pulled Kaoru out and then he shut the door. Kenshin knew something was wrong, as soon as he heard Kaoru scream. Aoshi came into the room before grabbing her things and whispering to Kenshin. Kenshin nodded before the teacher looked up and saw him leaving.

Kaoru was walking back to the building, a whole new attitude in her walk. Something had happened to Yahiko, and he had a seizure that led to an concussion. She was walking along side Tommy, who was just plain old mad. They went their seperate ways and Kaoru went into her locker and grabbed her hoodie that she had left. She put it on before zipping it up and putting on the hood, her eyes blue-gray in dullness and depression. She walked to class before just sitting down and putting her head in her arms on the desk. She didn't cry, she just went to sleep.

"Ms. Kamiya are you there?" the teacher said. Kaoru didn't respond. Kenshin tapped her slightly. She was too much into her sleep. Kenshin then went and he picked her up gently before placing her in his lap.

"MR. HIMURA!"

"Shut up and wait!" he said. She was shocked, so she didn't say anything. He began to bounce his leg up and down until she opened her eyes. She looked over at him.

"Douko shita no? Hmmm Koiishi?" she smiled at that before nodding.

"Nan demo nai." she said softly to him. Kenshin then saw her just falling back asleep.

"Talk to me later, kay?" she nodded before going back to her seat and going back to sleep.

"She's not feeling good teach." Kaoru shifted her weight before grabbing one chair on one side, and the other chair from the opposite. She then laid down on them before using her bookbag as a pillow. Some of the students giggled at this and Kenshin just gave a smirk.

"MS. KAMIYA WAKE UP!" Kaoru sat up fast before blinking and rubbing her eyes. The teacher began to rant on and then Kaoru got tired of it and she put on her head phones.

"Just shut up woman." she said before blasting it and laying back down.

"MS. KAMIYA GET UP NOW!" but Kaoru couldn't hear her. She was out once more.

In Computer class, Kaoru was sleeping again. She had moved all of the things in front and she then rested her arms and head once more.

"Is she alright?" the teacher asked. They just shrugged their shoulders.

Kaoru kept on sleeping through all her classes and when she got into Science, he wasn't in the mood. He had literally picked her up and sat her up straight. She just turned back to the other chair. He pulled it away and she fell. She got up mad.

"Damn yo what the fuck!" The teacher just looked at her with a glare before she went back to sleeping. He took some cold water and he began to sprinkle her with it.

"Stop your shit man!" he kept on going until Kaoru got up and she left the room cursing 'I said fucking stop. God. Some people just don't know.' she shut the door. She then laid down on the floor and she fell asleep, blasting 'Envy Me' in her ears.

For the next two weeks, Kaoru was just skipping classes and sleeping in her new car. She hadn't been to her regular home for the longest and she missed it badly. She was currently skipping at the moment, that us until she was called onto the intercom.

"Kaoru Kamiya report to your class NOW." Kaoru yawned as she slept in the hallway before getting up from her chair and going to her respected class. She sat down before hearing it again.

"Kaoru Kamiya, report to the principal's office." they 'oooed' at her as she got up and left the room. She went to the first floor before entering his office. She sat down with him before looking into his eyes.

"Sup Cemore." she said as she stretched and put her feet up. He put them down before looking into her eyes.

"Kaoru what is going on with you? For the past two and a half weeks, you have been skipping, just giving attitude, and not working. What is wrong with you?"

"Nothing Cemore." she then picked up one of his snowballs and began to shake it and look in fascination as it fell.

"Kaoru pay attention!" Kaoru put it down before the two got serious.

"I know.. about what happened with your little brother. But that doesn't mean that you get to just act out."

"It's not even like that." she said to him. He knew they would get nowhere.

"Kaoru... just take a week off or something. I give you full permission. Alright"

"Alright... see ya around Cemore." Kaoru got up before just walking out and away from the building to her car. She got in before turning it on and speeding off to the hospital. From there, she pulled her seat to Yahiko and she put her head on the sheets and clenched them into her fists as she fell asleep.

Kaoru had gotten worse when she as at home. She didn't do anything. She was just lying around and playing video games. And when the week was up, she didn't go back. She was still laying around. She didn't want to do anything. She had went on total lockdown away from the world.
Kaoru walked up to the building in dark colors, her eyes red from no sleep. She went to her Social Studies class and Aoshi went over to her.

"Kaoru what happened? You look like hell!" Kaoru just gave him a sad smile.

"I was at the hospital. Sorry." she then went and she sat down before trying to listen. The teacher knew she was sick just by the look of her. She was pale, she was tired, she wasn't talking, she didn't even write neatly from what he could see from their "Do Now". Her hair was neat, but she didn't make it as nice as she usually. He called up Aoshi before talking in his ear. Aoshi went over to her as she was swaying slightly. He picked her up before holding her close.

"I'm calling your father to take you to the hospital. This isn't good." he then picked up his phone and dialed.

"I'm fine... honest." she wasn't though. She was breathing harder and she was breaking into sweat. Aoshi began to shift her and then she clung onto him before leaning her head in and curling up tighter. The students began to call out to her to see if she was okay, but she wasn't answering. Kenshin went over and he opened her eyes. They were a deathly pale blue.

"You guys she's sick." he felt her stomach and her arms and legs.

"Kaoru have you been starving yourself?!" he asked her as he looked into her eyes. She didn't answer and she began to sweat more and her breathing quickened.

"Kenshin she took something." Tommy said as he got up and went to her.

"You just can't freak out like this. She's taken something." Kenshin looked at Kaoru and then Mr. Summers hung up from her father and called the hospital. Misao and the others went over. Kaoru was shaking slightly and she clung onto her brother. Tommy called Genia in and she and her brother just ran in with Tara. Their father came shortly after before taking her.

"Baby tell me what's wrong." Kaoru didn't answer.

"What's wrong Kaoru baby?"

"Mr. Kamiya your daughter had a drug overdose. She's getting the affects of them now." Shinji looked at Tommy.

"How do you know?"

"I'm studying to be a doctor." Megumi turned to him.

"Wow me too." Tommy went over.

"She's sweating, shaking, her hands are just wet, she's pale, and she hasn't gotten any sleep. She's taking some kind of drug and her body couldn't handle it. She needs a doctor." they heard sirens and then the paramedics just barged into the room. The principal came in and he looked at Kaoru.

"Kaoru what did I say to you? You just never listen."

Shinji sat down on his couch just thinking about why his daughter was going down that path. Kenshin was laying on the other end, sleeping. He was so worried, that he had just sat there and prayed until he was sleeping silently. Shinji then pulled out the albums before waking Kenshin up and calling the others down. They all sat around Shinji as he went through Shuichi, Genia from when she got there, Aoshi, Tara, and Yahiko's little album. Then they stopped at Kaoru. Hers was the biggest of all. Kenshin thought she was cute as a brunette.

"She had the lightest blue eyes, and the cutest little smile. Look at her. She was such an actor. Her and her mother." Kenshin looked at her and her mother sleeping silently on the same bed.

"She looks just like her mother. I swear."

"I know. All she has is your eyes and hair." Shinji looked at Kenshin before giving him a playful push. Then they turned the page and they kept on going. There was one with her and her sister Genia on the beach. Kenshin looked at the bottom of the page. She was twelve at the time. Kenshin then began to gawk and stare with the rest of the guys.

"Wow. Kaoru... had a nice rack." Tommy then covered his mouth after he said it and Shinji laughed.

"She did." Shuichi and Aoshi said. Kenshin nodded.

"Her hair is brown?"

"It changes during summer." Shinji and Shuichi said.

"Oh." they kept on going and then it showed one from two months before. Except it was wild. Kaoru was laying on her bed in just a white pair of underwear and no top. All she had to cover it was her thin white sheet, and that still showed a little skin. She was just looking like a model as she did it. Kenshin sneezed before covering his nose.

"Aha Kenshin got a nosebleed!" they began to laugh and joke as he grutned and got a few paper towels.

"She always loved to do wild things like this." Shinji went and he got the other one. The 'Wild thang' Album. She had even wilder things. She was sitting on a chair in some short shorts with her legs on each side. She had her arms on her legs and her hair was down. She had a sexy smile as it was just wild and her blue eyes were electrified.

"Shinji?"

"Yes Kenshin?"

"Make me a copy of all these?"

Kenshin was on the piano at Kaoru's house, just thinking. He always knew how to play, but he just didn't do it too much. He slid his fingers over the keys before playing a quick scale. Then he just got tired and he began to play. He didn't really care what he was playing, he just wanted to play something. He heard clapping as he stopped and then he saw Tommy and Aoshi just tap dancing as he played. Then Tommy spun around and did a Micheal Jackson.

"OOOOOOOO!"

Shinji was laying in the couch and just was sleeping silently with a blanket and a teddy bear. Kenshin and Aoshi were creeping around, Tommy tagging along for the fun. They saw Shinji on the couch and then they chuckled before Aoshi opened his eye. The blue was just sleepy. Then Aoshi blew in it and Shinji pulled away and turned.

"Stop Mr. Yum Yums. I didn't have my sweet candy yet." they shard a giggle before Aoshi did it again and blew in his ear. Shinji began to curse.

"Motherfuckinno good damn rugrats." they laughed this time and it woke him up. He pretended to be asleep. As soon as they all touched him, he grabbed them and held them under his arm tight before shutting his eyes and falling back asleep. Aoshi grumbled before hopping on the couch with the others. They began to move back and forth. Genia saw them and she ran over with Shuichi.

"No don't!" Shinji yelled, but it was too late. The whole couch fell over, and Shinji sighed as they all began to laugh and giggle.

They were impatient for a phone call. They were worried about both Kaoru and Yahiko. Kenshin was sleeping on the rocking chair, and everybody else was just sleeping in different spots. The floor, the reclining couch, all over. Genia was so tired, she had went and got an inflatable bed and pumped it up before just laying on it with covers. Shinji was sitting up, sleeping as his arms were crossed over his chest. The phone rang violently on his side and he jumped up with a yell. Then he looked at it and he picked it up fast. Everybody began to move around him.

"Yes this is Shinji Kamiya. Are my children alright? ..... I see.... I understand Dr. .... um yeah we do ..... we'll be there in a few minutes. Bye." he hung up before they just went and grabbed their coats and they then left the house. Kenshin started up his car before reversing out and driving off following Shinji.

Kaoru was staring at the ceiling, her finger hooked up to a machine along with her arm. She was in a daze as she stayed there. She was listening to the doctors walk up and down the hall, and she had heard 'Yahiko Kamiya' a few times. She wasn't worried, she was just hoping it wasn't anything bad. She shifted her weight before laying on her side, and falling asleep as her father came into the room. Shinji went to her before brushing the hair from her forehead and planting a kiss on it and then leaving the room to go and check on Yahiko. He saw Yahiko was in the same state, sleeping on his side. He kissed his forehead as well before leaving the room.
Kenshin was sitting on the curb thinking. He sighed before getting up and starting to walk back. A pair of hands went around his mouth and he widened his eyes before feeling the cloth and smelling the scent on the cloth. He tried to fight it, but then he just fell into a sleep as it went into affect. Two people grabbed him before dragging him off.

"Watch Himura. I'm gonna fix your ass good, and then that little black friend of yours is gonna get it too."

R.S.:Who are the men that dragged him off? More or less, it Kenshin going to be alright? Stick around for the next chapter to find out.
