Yahiko sighed. "She can't still be moping, could she?" He was hesitant to go into Kaoru's room, at all. Sano was outside sitting on the porch.. They were talking about going to Kyoto.. Sano really wanted to and Yahiko thought that… That maybe Kaoru and him should go, too.

He walked over to her door and bit his lip. "Kaoru?" His eyes widened hearing a frightening noise inside. He opened the door to see an even more frightening scene. Kaoru was bleeding, a dagger in her fingers. Her eyes were closed and he didn't know if she was breathing. "KAOORRU!" He screamed, rushing to her side.

She was bleeding so much, he didn't know what to do. "Kaoru, Kaoru!" He tried to wake her up, tears were in his eyes. "Sano! Sano! Get Ms. Megumi! Hurry!" He screamed, cradling Kaoru in his arms.

Sano almost jumped up in the air about 6 feet, hearing Yahiko scream. "What the-?" He asked himself. He ran into Kaoru's room and almost fell against the wall. "Oh My God! What the fuck happened?"

"Just get Ms. Megumi! NOW!" Sano rushed off to Dr. Gensai's office as Yahiko tried to help Kaoru. "Kaoru, Kaoru.. Please, wake up?" He held her stomach tightly, trying to stop the bleeding. What happened? Had she-? No, Kaoru wasn't like that. Was she? Why would she do that?

"Ken…-shin." She whispered, tears rushing down her own cheeks.

Yahiko cursed. "That's no reason to do this to yourself, Kaoru! He left! Yeah, so what!" He screamed. He could feel her body getting colder and colder by the minute.. 'God, Sano. Hurry.'

Megumi was basically being dragged by Sano back to the dojo. "What's going on? Can't you at least tell me what's happening?" Megumi asked, trying to run beside him holding her supplies.

"I don't know what happened! Alright! Yahiko just found-…" He paused; his voice choked out of him. 'Why, Kaoru? Why?'

Megumi rushed into the Dojo and headed straight for Kaoru's bedroom. She pushed the crying Yahiko out of the way and looked to her. "I need clothe! Hot water! Now!" Megumi yelled and Yahiko raced off to fetch it. Sano grabbed the clothe and handed it to her quickly.

Megumi eyed the dagger beside Kaoru and frowned. "I think I know what happened." She pulled the dagger from Kaoru's fingers and pushed it far from her. Kaoru had lost a lot of blood already, a lot.. She could see it just by the amount beneath of her. Her fingers were shaking as she pressed on Kaoru's wound and tried to stop it from bleeding. She wiped the blood away a little bit and started working. It wasn't that deep because the dagger hadn't obviously went in that far. She was glad.. It would have killed Kaoru instantly if it did.

She pulled her hair back and swiped the sweat from her brow as she sealed Kaoru's wound with the impatient and sorrowed Yahiko and Sano watching. A few hours passed and Megumi leaned back, releasing a heavy sigh.

"A-are you done?" Yahiko asked, looking into her tired eyes.

"Yes, I am done. I have done all I can do for Kaoru.. It's up to her now." She sighed heavily and looked over to Sano. She knew what had happened, but she never expected this from Kaoru. Out of all people? She was the one laughing, or smirking, or… hitting Kenshin upside the head with a wooden bucket. Yes, that was the problem… Kenshin.

She closed her eyes and pushed herself up. Sano pulled the covers over Kaoru and looked to her with saddened eyes. "…Dammit, Kaoru. Dammit.." He said, walking back to Megumi leaving Yahiko alone with her.

Sano looked to Megumi and closed his eyes. "…I know she was upset but I-."

Megumi just looked at him. "…Silly girl. She loves him very much.. But, if there isn't anything I haven't learned from Sir Ken I learned that.. You have to live. She… She didn't think that she would see him again." She crossed her arms over her chest. "And, I think that was the worst thought she had ever had." She closed her eyes, holding back the tears that threatened to fall.

Sano clenched his fist. "…" He couldn't say anything, for he didn't know what to say.

Yahiko walked over to Kaoru's side and bit his lip. He looked to his hands which were still somewhat stained with her blood, along with his kumono. "K-K-Kaoru." He whispered. Tears ran down his exhausted cheeks. "Please, please don't die.." He pled. "Why, why did you do this?" He asked, lowering his head. "I-I may be mean to you all the time, and call you ugly.. B-but, you're not Kaoru. Please.. Please, don't die. Yo-you were the first one who fought for me.. And, and… You were the only one who cared for me, and my safety. I…" He put his palms to his cheeks. "Please, don't die.. You're beautiful, Kaoru! Don't die!"
