Ouch…. don't hate me more than u already do….
"I'm worried, Kenshin is taking too long." Kaoru said.
"He's probably with Soujiro."Misao assured her.
"Misao is probably right." Megumi said.
'I have a very bad feeling.' Misao was thinking. 'Something is not right.'
The boy was extremely calm. It was as if he suddenly realized something. He didn't care about anything or anybody. He wanted to be free, and not worry about anyone. It was because of his mother that he tried to be courteous, but now his mother was as much in his way as everyone else.
"I'll go check to see if I see him coming." Misao, said.
"Oh don't bother yourself." Kaoru said.
"It's not a bother. I want to see Kenshin, besides Soujiro is probably with him." But that wasn't the way Misao had wanted to see Kenshin.
Misao was speechless. Her eyes were wide.
Kenji hardly gave her a glance and walked calmly by her, Kenshin's body almost unrecognizable because it was being dragged.
Kaoru was the first to notice Kenji walk in.
"Kenji why are you…" but she didn't finish, as her eyes lay on the thing Kenji had been dragging.
"Here." Kenji said stoically tossing Kenshin's remains at them.
"But…. what happened?" Kaoru asked, tears running down her cheeks.
Kenji showed no remorse, even after seeing his mother's tears.
"Mother," he started, "I was blind all this time, and I think I have always hated you. Probably hated you more than I hated that man." He said pointing at Kenshin's body.
Kaoru cried even more. Those words finished breaking her already broken heart.
"You are pathetic." He told his mother. "All of you are pathetic." He said, his voice showing contempt.
"What is the meaning of this?" Yahiko asked angrily, "You killed your own father?"
"And what if I did?" Kenji said calmly.
"Í always knew you were a brat, but I never thought you would sink so low." Yahiko said, tears running down his own cheeks.
"I never thought much about you. I always thought you were so insignificant."
"Argh!" Yahiko suddenly got up and rushed towards Kenji.
"STOP!" someone said, stopping Yahiko in his tracks. It was Soujiro. He was draped on Misao's shoulders.
"You can't fight him…. He's gotten too strong."
Everyone sat awestruck, to shocked to even move. Everything had happened so fast.
The boy had lost his mind and all that hatred he had harbored throughout his young life had come to surface.
He had let go of all sanity and began to walk a path very mush like a certain man named Shishio Makoto had walked 15 years prior.
"And to all this is goodbye." Where his final words before leaving the place forever.
