This is where the story twists where it turns into horror over suspense so I hope you enjoy the rest of this story.

Rubble crumbling beneath his feet, Kenshin bolted threw the town to get to Megumi. Upon arrival to Megumi's shop Kenshin crushed the door down.

"Kenshin, what is wrong why the rush?" Megumi questioned, "And did you have to break my door down!"

"Yah, Yahiko is bleeding" Kenshin retorted gasping for air, "Been cut across his skull hurry please come now."

"Ok but who attacked Yahiko, why?"

"Don't know come on!" Kenshin rejoined seizing Megumi's wrist.

Kenshin dragged Megumi threw dust covered streets of Kyoto to bring her back to Yahiko's bleeding skull.

"Kaoru, how is Yahiko doing?" questioned Megumi, "Is he conscious?"

"He is slipping in and out of consciousness," Kaoru replied, "Can you help him."

"I don't know Kaoru, I honestly do not know."

Megumi struggled to keep Yahiko conscious and living but his fragile body slipped into coma. As he slipped into coma Yahiko muttered "Shishio" and fell into his sleep. Megumi managed to keep Yahiko alive but his mind was trapped in his coma.

"Where, where am I Kenshin, Kaoru, anybody where am I?" Yahiko questioned wandering in his head.

"You are inside your mind, your memories." replied his mirror self, "You are unconscious, but don't worry it is only for the moment."

"Why am I here, what happened to me?"

"You are here to prevent you from further damage, Shishio's spirit has been following you for his revenge and he has taken it."

"Well how did he attack me if he is only a spirit?"

"A spirit can gather strength from the earth's chi and he gathered enough to materialize back into his true self and attacked you first to get to Kenshin."

"Yahiko, Yahiko you there please answer me its Kaoru get up please get up Yahiko."

"K-Kaoru…"

"Yahiko, you there Yahiko talk to me again."

Stillness, and silence bleed threw the room as Yahiko laid deadly still. Kenshin stood up as a tear of blood stained the ground, and only a glimpse of Kenshin's body remained within it.

"Kenshin, wait!" Kaoru uttered as Kenshin fled into the night. The stillness ruptured as Megumi and Sanosuke left the dojo to chase Kenshin leaving Kaoru alone with Yahiko.

"Yahiko, please talk to me please who did this to you, Yahiko!" Kaoru screamed looking down into his eyes.

His eyes focused onto hers and he uttered the name "…Shishio…"

"Shishio! How did that bastard get to you he died how, ANSWER ME!" she screamed rattling his bones.

In the stillness of the night a cool breeze swept across the dojo, Kaoru took a blanket and covered Yahiko to rest upon him so his body stayed warm, and headed to her room. She slipped off her Kimono and headed towards her bed. She slowly walked around the room to her bed as shadows fell upon her…

"Kenshin you bastard get your ass back here, where do u think you're going?" Sanosuke shouted.

"You have no right to be here, get out of my face you bastard!" Kenshin screamed in Sanosuke's face.

"Kenshin we are all angry about this but this is not the way, I cant believe I'm the one saying this, what has the world come to, shit Kenshin come back we shouldn't have left Kaoru alone come on lets go back to the dojo, ok?"

"Alright just give me a second."

"Deal we'll wait for you." As they stood in the silence of the night a blood curtailing scream shattered the stillness. "What the fuck was that?"

"Kaoru…"

Shattered wood was strewn across the ground as mud flew of the warrior's feet that broke down the door.

"Kaoru, Kaoru where are you, KAORU!"

"Ah Kenshin, its food to see you muhahaha" a voice said in the corner of the dojo…
