DISCLAIMER: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin; I'm not a genius like Watsuki-san. All hail to the lord Watsuki!

RECAP: Kaoru watched as the fight unfolded, she would have stopped it but blazing amber orbs seemed to choke her. Geih lunged at Kenshin, she wanted to yell out for him but the words could not come out of her mouth. Much to the surprise of the students Kenshin easily dodged Geih's punch and split open his shoulder. Kenshin smirked, "not so though now are you?" That was not Kenshin speaking but rather his anger

Geih sputtered and coughed up blood to add more of the scarlet drops covering his shirt. A stream of blood escaped his shoulder as he stumbled up. Geih turned and gave Kaoru a disgusted look; He was satisfied when her saw her shiver under his gaze that read. 'You'll pay for this!' He turned back to Kenshin, who's smirk turned into a merciless snarl.

This time Kenshin didn't even wait for Geih to attack; he slid his sword right up to Geih's throat. "Don't you look at her…" Kenshin hissed into Geih's ear his voice shaking with anger. He pushed his katana into Geih's throat just slightly enough to make it bleed. Geih's eyes had no spirit within them they were no full of pure honest to goodness fear. Geih started to beg for mercy, "please I-I was j-just-t-t…"

"SHUT UP!" Kenshin shoved Geih to the ground were he fell unconscious. Kenshin was visibly shaking. The clang of his katana hitting the floor echoed throughout the cafeteria bouncing of the walls. No one dared to move.

Kenshin fell, knees to the ground, and clutched his head and squinted his eyes shut. A soft mumble was audible although it was hard to understand, like it was being chocked out with tears. "No n-no not again, not again!" He started to cough and make gagging noises he got up and covered his mouth. Kaoru started to make her way over to him when he ran out of the cafeteria heading towards the bathroom. She chased after him.

He ran until he couldn't run any longer dropped to the ground. He didn't even eat lunch, yet it seemed endless. He couldn't take it; his entire stomach was empty now what had been in it was now in the hall. "I killed him…" Kenshin muttered curling into and small huddle and started to rock back and forth.

Kaoru approached him he locked up at her his eyes swirling with both amber and blue. "Get away from me!" He hissed a slight sadness tingeing his voice. Kaoru did not heed his warning and continued towards him each step she took he would scoot away. When she was near enough to touch he tried to get up and run, but he was to weak and only fell again. He turned as she started to kneel towards him "Get away!" She tensed, but then continued she saw him tremble, something no one but her he would have let seen.

The moment her hand touched him his eyes turned back to their normal color. Every thing blacked out for him, his last thought being, I killed… again…

Kenshin awoke to find himself staring at something gray. What? He turned and observed his surroundings he was in the hospital. Why am I here? What happened?

Kaoru and her friends took turns watching over him. Sano saw that Kenshin had finally awoken, "hey you finally awake?" Kenshin looked a little dazed, he was about to ask Sano what happened, but it all came back to him over a wave of nausea. Kenshin nearly crashed out of the hospital bed heading for the sink, when he finally ceased, and was taken care of. "I killed…"

"Whoa there bud…" Sanosuke helped Kenshin back into the hospital bed. "You didn't kill him." Sano always seemed to have a careless attitude no matter what the situation.

"I ki- what?" Kenshin broke out of his daze.

"I said, you – did – not – kill – anyone!" Sano replied to Kenshin who was looking at him very confused. "Geez special ed…"

"B-but he fell!" Kenshin seamed to yell for no reason in particular. His eyes filled with hope, surprise, and confusion.

"Would I lie to you?" Sano gave Kenshin the sternest look he could muster.

"No…" Kenshin fell back on the hospital bed in defeat. He had only known theses people for a very short time, and yet they were so nice to him. I don't deserve this…

"You just rest I'm going to go get Kaoru, and tell her you finally woke up. Oh, by the way you've been asleep for three days now…" Sano snickered he could imaging the look on Kenshin's face. He loved to mess with people.

Kenshin saw Kaoru walk into the room e was currently staying in.

"What did he tell you?" He knew exactly what she was talking about.

"That I've been asleep for three days…" Kenshin didn't really trust Sano on that account, that's why he wasn't expecting what was next.

"Oh? That's the first time I've seen him not lie…" Kaoru wore an amused and surprised face.

"WHAT!" Kenshin yelled trying to jump out of bed, but found that it was nearly impossible since his stunt earlier, and that he had been on an IV (not sure if that's correct) for the past three days.

"Oh, now I see he knew you wouldn't believe him so he told you the truth… what a minute…" Kaoru said as she pushed Kenshin back into the hospital bed. "Sano, Sagara Sanosuke! Being smart! The world must be coming to an end!" Sano muffled voice could be heard from behind the door, "I heard that." Kenshin and Kaoru both anime sweat dropped.

"I'm sorry about-" Kaoru cut him off, "It's okay… I would like to say I understand, but I don't… Still it's okay." Kaoru shot him a smile that he great fully accepted knowing that what she said was true.

Trying to change the subject Kenshin asked, "Want to watch some T.V.?"

"Trapped in a box…" Kaoru mumbled under her breath.

"-By No Doubt?" Kenshin actually knew what she was talking about.

"You know?"

"watch the world as it clocks…" Kenshin and Kaoru tried to sing it , but all they managed to get to was: "OOH trapped in a box of tremendous size…" before they broke out into hysterical laughing. Sano heard it from out side the door and decided to see what 'those out of control idiots' were up to…

He found them like this: Kenshin still laughing clutching his stomach and saying 'ow' between laughs, and Kaoru laughing with tears running down her cheeks. Who knew they could laugh so hard over a thing like that!

Sano tried to interrupt, "Okay, okay break it up." But they just kept laughing.

Kenshin managed to wheeze out, "Can – not – brea – th…" tears brimming the edges of his eyes. He really was trying to stop.

"Okay breath in – out, in – out…" Sano just sweat dropped, because all that had accomplished was making them laugh harder. Sano just walked away.

"Sano – what- are – you – doing?" Kenshin and Kaoru wheezed out, they really were trying. Sano came back wearing a blank expression, holding a bucket. Kenshin and Kaoru tensed and almost (almost) stopped laughing. But of coarse, Sano poured it on them anyways. Cold, one word to describe it, cold.

Kaoru etched an eyebrow as she started to twitch, "nurse I think you better get another room ready…"
