Nanakiyoda: Yeah! Woohoo! Another chapter by the infamous Nanakiyoda is up! Oh yeah...this will be the last Kaoru POV!

MEGUMI

Kaoru and Kenshin walked into my office. Oh thank Kami, she's ali-

"Megumi, I'm infected with the virus." Kaoru said. No...the antidote...I'm close to it but not there...she can't be infected! I motioned for her to sit upon the examination table and show me where she was infected. She lifted her right leg. Blood was caked on it and a deep gash ran from her knee cap to the top of her boot. There was blood soaked cloth wrapped around the leg, but the wound wasn't bleeding. I looked up at her eyes. They were both fine, a scar crossing the left one. Her pupils were dialated. She only has about an hour according to the tests I saw from Umbrella. Okay...the antidote is almost finished...I just need one more component to neutralize the virus.

"Let me take your blood pressure." I said. She nodded. I quickly took it. Her blood pressure is very low...she's lost a lot of blood. I lookeed over at Kenshin and sighed.

"We need to give her some blood. Get over to the drawing room and get some drawn." I told him and he walked out of the room.

"Look, I'm not sure how long I have left but before I die I have to uphold a promise to myself." Kaoru said, her voice starting to shake. I looked back at her.

"Kaoru...I'm going to try the antidote. Even if I can't stop the virus, I can at least control it. Have some confidence in me." I said. She nodded, her eyes half-closed. She needs rest...but if she falls asleep, she may never wake up again. The virus spreads much quicker when the carrier is sleeping. I shook her awake.

"Let me rest..." She begged. I shook my head.

"No, the virus will spread faster that way." I said. A tear slid down her cheek. She's only nineteen...still a kid to me. Why must she suffer the worst?

"Megumi, make sure that if and when I turn, someone shoots me in the head before I kill or hurt anyone." She said. I nodded.

"If and when Kaoru, if and when..." I reasoned.

KAORU-30 minutes later

I was feeling very hot. Hot and tired. My leg was buring and itching. There was a needle pumping blood into my arm. Kenshin's blood. Darkness was starting to creep up on me. I was fighting, but starting to lose. The virus is reacting much quicker than planned. Course, only me and Kenshin know why...he has the virus. It's part of his DNA. Jakentu infected him. Kenshin, the lucky basturd...he's immune to the virus naturally. Kenshin was watching me, a gun shaking in his hand, his violet eyes never leaving mine. He chose to be the one to shoot me...if I didn't know any better, I'd say he was trying to kill me. Megumi was somewhere in the building, working hard to create the antidote. What if I ended up like Soujiro? A tyrant? What if I just roll over and fart, then be cured of it all...haha...it would be so simple...to just expel the virus through bodily gases. Yahiko would laugh his head off. Yahiko and Yutaro were cleaning up, and getting some rest for their next mission, in a few days. Juan, Bard and Jennifer were getting back in contact with their families, then they were going to return. Course, I'll be dead and gone by then. I felt bile rise up in my throat. I leaned over and grabbed the trashcan. Emptying my stomachs contents into it, I shakily set it down and rolled back.

"Koishii? Are you okay?" Kenshin asked, shaking badly. I looked up at him and smiled.

"Uh...well...duh. I'm wondering whether I should start practicing my moans. What do you think!" I asked sarcastically. Kenshin looked at me painfully and rested his hand on my arm. I sighed and rolled my eyes at him. It's bad enough I'm feeling bad for fucking things up, I don't need him to remind me of what I'm going to be missing out on.

"Kaoru...you know, as soon as you go...I'm going with you." Kenshin said, his bangs covering his eyes.

"Nice to know that. Kenshin...please don't tell me you're crying. You know I can't stand it." I said. He just kept his head bowed. I looked away. My heart started acheing painfully. I clutched at it and fought for air. This isn't...this isn't from emotions...my heart is stinging because of the virus! I gasped for air, then blacked out.

YAHIKO

I ran down the hallway, holding my pants up. Tsubame! She calling for me! Yippee! I tripped over the cuff of my jeans and hit the ground hard.

"Sonofa!" I yelled out and jumped back up, dashing for the office.

"Yahiko, there is call from a Tsubame here in the office for you! Did you hear that! Damn kid...probably mas- wait...this is still on." The intercom chimed out for a third time.

"I'm coming dammit!" I yelled out and ran into Megumi. We both fell to the ground. I jumped back up and helped her up.

"Yahiko! That was the antidote you just knocked out of my hands!" She yelled at me but I kept running for the office.

MEGUMI

I picked up the antidote bottle and neutralizer bottle. They had broken. Dumping the neutralizer into the antidote, I took off running for Kaoru's room. Damn Yahiko! If it weren't for the fact Kaoru just passed out, I would run back and get all new chemicals. This will have to do though! I flung the door open and took out the syringe. Filling the syringe up with the contents of the mixed bottle, I injected it into her arm. Kenshin was shaking bad, aiming the gun right at her forehead. I placed my hand on his arm and forced him to lower it.

"We have to quarentine her until we can see whether this works. A week should be long enough. Then, we either have her back...or you'll..." I tried to say but a knot in my throat prevented me from finishing the sentence. Kenshin nodded and disconnect the empty blood I.V. and picked her up.

"I'm staying with her. Not matter what, no one else is to come between me and her." He commanded, his eye flaring in amber. I nodded and lead him to the cell.

"Umbrella would infect people and leave them in these cells to monitor their development. After the person ceased to move, due to the decaying, they would gas these chambers with something...to destroy the virus and any bodily cells that had the virus. Within two weeks, everything in the room would be stable enough to clean it o-" I started to explain but Kenshin glared at me fiercely.

"Just let us inside." He commanded. I opened the door and allowed him inside. He walked in, still carrying Kaoru, and turned around, glaring at me. He's determined to stay with her. Even if she turns, he wants to be there. He wants her to give him the virus. He'll shoot her after that, then take his own life. I sighed and shut the door, locking it and bolting it shut. Walking over to the control panel, I put in the password. The cell completely locked up. I'll put food into the decontamination chamber every day. That way, Kenshin will be able to eat.

KENSHIN

Looking around, I saw a bed and placed her on it. Her breathing was labored. I had the virus in my blood...I sped up the virus in her. Sighing, I sat down beside her and brushed her raven bangs from her eyes. Still, she has a chance. The antidote. It should work.

"Kaoru...please...you shine in a world full of ugliness. You matter when everything is meaningless. Fragile, you don't see your beauty. I won't let you fall apart." I whispered to her, clutching the gun tightly in my hand.

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Well, as said before...this is the last you'll see Kaoru-for a while...haha. Uh...there was something else I wanted to say, but I forgot it. Oh yeah! The reason I named this Celldweller is because Kaoru dwells in a cell! Hahaha! That and the band...but surprisingly, that had nothing to do with it. Anyways...Banzai chibbi chan churroo!
