Slowly tears of blood stained the earth beneath Kenshin's broken, mental and physical, body. He had suffered much pain from the battle and the separation of his Battasoai. His mind was spilt in two, unable to create a willing path towards his death or life.

"Kenshin wait, please," Kaoru begged chasing after him, "Please Kenshin I love you come back please."

"Kaoru, I cant my mind, aaaahhhhh, no, no more why are you doing this to me!" exclaimed Kenshin as his sanity slowly slipped, "Kaoru help me."

Kenshin's unconscious body fell to the ground beneath him, the strain of losing part of his past created too much that his body could bear. His mind battled within his body, wanting his sanity to stay but his pain making it slowly leave, the Battasoai's spirit wandered back to Kenshin's mind wanting this madness to end.

"Himmora Kenshin I know you do not like me but I have no where to go and the loss of me is driving you mad take me back now or pay he price," exclaimed the Battasoai within his head.

"No, you cause to much damage when you break through I cant allow that ill find a way to stop this myself get out," Kenshin retorted in fear of the Battasoai.

With the two battling within the Rurouni's head, the insanity controlled the lifeless body created hysteria in the dojo.

"Kenshin, listen either we get along for once or we both die I don't know about you but I am sure I don't want to go to hell just yet."

"Battasoai, I will agree on one condition," Kenshin responded, "Only if we can be as one in my mind for separate we shift but together we can protect, is that ok?"

"Fine whatever; come on before this madness slaughters our friends and our self."

The earth shook and the floor snapped as the immense chi from the warriors reunited in harmony.

"Yahiko what is happening?" Kaoru exclaimed

"I don't know Kyoto doesn't get earthquakes," Yahiko retorted.

"Oh no," Kaoru exclaimed, "Kenshin!"

Yahiko and Kaoru sprinted into Kenshin's room to see him standing on his feet sword at side breathing as if he had just battled Shishio.

"Kenshin are you back are you ok?" Kaoru questioned. "Please be ok."

"I'm not sure," Kenshin replied "I feel like I've been to hell and back, why what happened?"

"You've been unconscious and then you went on a rampage, and you sound different what happened?"

"All I remember is talking to my Battasoai and then I woke up, I'm not sure why my voice has changed, anyway can we go out to the river I need a bath and maybe I could swim with you afterward."

"Kenshin, you're back and by the way you're paying for the damages so here is a list of chores for you to do."

"Oro," Kenshin replied.

Kenshin and Kaoru walked down the street towards the river when they stumbled upon Yahiko.

"Hello Yahiko long I haven't seen you no I haven't," Kenshin said, "so how have you been."

"K…Kenshin," Yahiko stuttered as he fell numb to the ground.

"Yahiko, Yahiko!" Kaoru screamed, "Kenshin get Megumi, NOW!"

"Yes Kaoru-kun."

Kenshin ran off to Kyoto to get Megumi as Kaoru tried to nurse Yahiko to health…
