Picked On
Chapter 6
AN: whenever someone tells me to update, I do it right then on the spot.
Kaoru couldn't believe Battousai had actually done what he was told. Does he have something else up his sleeve? wondered Kaoru. She just stood there with an arm wrapped around her neck, dagger under her throat just waiting to die.
"Please, just get it over with," she said with sorrow. Shigure looked down at Kaoru's head. "What are you talking about?" he asked her. "Kill me. Get it over with. The world will be a whole lot better without me in it," she said now crying.
"KAORU!" screamed Battousai. Kaoru looked up. Battousai was in rage. His eyes were pure gold now. "If you die, don't think that I won't come after you and bring you back," he snarled. "Ken-shin," said Kaoru in a whisper.
Shigure chuckled. "Aaawww. I think I'm going to cry," said Shigure. "You two are really something," he said. "Now, you stay exactly where you are while me and Miss Kamiya make our exit," said Shigure walking towards the door, pulling Kaoru with him.
Meanwhile Gentatsu had called the cops. The whole school building was surrounded. Snipers were all set. Shigure saw the lights flashing and he knew it was the end.
"Might as well give up now. Let this end peacefully," said Battousai. "I've still got the girl, so I hold the upper hand," said Shigure smirking at Battousai.
A voice appeared behind Shigure and Kaoru. "Now I hold the upper hand Shigure," said Gentatsu. His gun was at Shigure's head. "Release the girl and come quietly. If you refuse, I'll put a bullet through your fucking head," he growled.
Shigure smiled. "Fine," he said. He let go of Kaoru. Kaoru ran in to Battousai's open arms. "Are you alright?" he asked. "Yes," said Kaoru. She cried into his shoulder. Battousai picked her up bridal style.
"Gentatsu, you got it from here?" he asked. "Yep," replied Gentatsu while reading Shigure his rights. The sound of handcuffs snapping brought a smile to Kaoru's mouth. "Thanks," she whispered.
Battousai brought Kaoru outside so she could be examined by the paramedics. Shigure glanced at the 2 of them. "I SWEAR I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS!" he yelled at Kenshin and Kaoru.
Kaoru stood up. "Oh yeah! You'll be in jail the rest of your life and we'll be free! Who's the loser now!" she screamed back. Shigure said nothing as he was pushed into the police car and hauled off to the station.
The rest of the school was canceled for the rest of the week while the police did their investigation. Kaoru had no major injuries, so she was released.
Kaoru walked through the park thinking about events in her life. The sun was beginning to set. The fireflies started to come out. She stopped at a tree near the river. It was so peaceful this time of day. No one else was around.
Kaoru hadn't heard or seen Kenshin since the incident at the school. "Did he forget about me?" she asked a firefly that landed on her nose. "Did he mean what he said when he said he loved me?" she asked.
"I meant it that I did," came a voice to her side. Kaoru turned her head. "Kenshin!" she yelled with excitement. She saw Kenshin come out of the darkness. He looked sad. "Kenshin?" she asked with concern.
"Kaoru, I won't be at school anymore," he said. Kaoru understood. "You're a cop. You were undercover. I understand," she said. "Kaoru," said Kenshin walking closer to her. "You don't understand," he said.
"Then explain it to me!" she yelled. "I put you in danger at school. Shigure knew it was you I cared for. I can't put you in danger like that. We can't be together," he said.
Kaoru slapped Kenshin across his face. "Listen here, bozo! It was my choice to help you! You didn't force me! Shigure came onto me with his free will, not because he knew you loved me! It's my choice if I want to be with you and I do! I fucking love you!" she screamed. Then she down right kissed him hard on the lips with all the love she could muster.
"Whoa," said Battousai. His eyes were amber again. "Are you sure you want to be with me?" asked Kenshin. "Do I have to kiss you again?" she asked putting her hands on her hips. "Well," said Kenshin. Then she kissed him again.
Kaoru smiled. She noticed Battousai look up at the moon. "It's very pretty," he said. "It is," said Kaoru joining him. "Care to go for a walk, my Kaoru?" he asked holding his arm out. Kaoru took it in a moments notice. "Yeah!" she said.
The two lovebirds walked arm and arm down near the river. Kenshin stopped and turned Karou around to face him. "See? Not everyone can pick on you. You have a life now...with me," he said. "Promise you'll never leave me?" she asked hugging him close.
He put his chin on top of her head. "Together forever," he said. He looked down at Kaoru and took her lips with his. Kaoru let her hands run through his hair until his hair tied broke off.
His wild, long, red hair danced in the wind like fire. Kaoru's long tamed black hair danced with it entangling them together. It was a very truly romantic sight.
Neither of them broke the kiss. They were that much in love although they only met each other a few days ago. But by the way they were together, you'd swear they were husband and wife, which they were one year later.
AN: should I continue?
