The two assassins
Chapter twelve: like if telling you now could change a thing.
"Room 502" Kaoru said to the nurse at the entrance.
"At the end of the hallway" answered her
"thank you very much" said Kaoru. She had left her friend at the hospital two days ago, Megumi had called her to tell her that Soujiro was free to leave in any moment. She reached the room and when she opened the door she found a half naked friend, yes hehad a well built chest, and she hadn't realized, not even when she helped him to get dress. He welcomed her, his head still had bandages and his arm was broken, but no major injuries. His smile was still on his lips.
"Hello there" she said and got closer to him
"Hi" was his only answer
"Are you ready to leave?" she asked and smiled
"I guess" he said, there was something unusual in his eyes, she saw sadness and pain.
"Soujiro are you alright?" she asked. Her voice was soft and sweet.
"Yes, I'm okay" he answered. Kaoru sat on a nearby sofa, her tiny skirt slipped upwards revealing her amazing legs a bit more. He looked away and blushed, but she didn't notice. He opened his mouth to say something but nothing came out.
"what's wrong Souji?" she asked worried about her friend "You know you can tell me anything, whatever you want, please tell me" maybe that was the problem, he wanted to tell her a lot of things, but last time he did he won a free ticket to the hospital, But now there was no Himura. He saw trough the room's window and saw a couple kissing on the middle of the street, he sighed.
"I was a fool, no a stupid" he said, his voice was low "I had you, but I never dared to tell you a thing, I used to watch every time you brushed your hair or smiled, I was always there taking care of you, yet I never had the courage…. And even now I can't explain the thousands of things you make me feel, It's like if the world itself stops when we're together and I can't find a way through this, I still can't accept the thought you're gonna marry him and not me, he doesn't deserves you! you're lot more! And I'm not telling I am better than him, but I know that I can make you the happiest person in this world" some tears slipped from his eyes "And then… I see the cruel reality, suddenly I feel I can't breathe and I can't do a damn thing about it, If only I could turn back time to make you mine, to win your heart, to be with you forever…" he sobbed. Kaoru was crying too, It was all her fault, Soujiro didn't deserve that pain, she stood up and hugged him like no one did before, she kissed his forehead and with trembling hands she cupped his face, silent tears, a heart that broke in more than one thousands pieces was spread on the floor. He grabbed her by her small waist and kissed her lower lip, but did not dare to go any farther, they hugged again.

' I see time has passed and I still can't find a way to have you back'
'If search deep in my memories the only thing I can find is you'
She closed her diary. That was the only thing in the whole notebook, all the other pages were as white as snow. Tomoe sat on the bed, she was willing to never leave the room at least during a few days, she hadn't seen Bill also since their little incident, and didn't want to see him. She was paler than usual, her eyes didn't shine anymore, her hair was messy and she was dressed only in a bath robe. She leaned her face on the wall and closed her eyes… she remembered a special event.
Flash back ………………………………
"Tomoe" he said while laughing, he looked so sweet even with that dangerous appearance in his eyes.
"what" she said and laughed too
"I will like to see you in a white long dress" he said. They were waiting their turn to ride a rollercoaster.
"Maybe" she said playfully. He grabbed her by the back and kissed her neck, they had both a huge smile on her face.
"wanna go to the nursery" he asked and made her tickles
"what for?" she asked laughing
"They have a bed" he whispered in her ear
"You dirty!" she said and pushed him back playfully
"wanna go?" he asked again
"No!" she said
"C'mon, it'll be fun" he said
"They're gonna catch us" she said. They didn't g, but when they reached their home…
end of flash back………………………
She opened her eyes and smiled, she could feel his soft touch and strong arms embracing her, she had lost him forever, then it hit her, now she really was going to lose him, they will kill them, both Kaoru and Kenshin. She waved a hand in front of her face like wanting to dismiss the thought but wasn't able to, That Bill was a bitch.

"mother were are you going?" asked a little cute boy, he had raven hair and blue cold eyes just like his father, but had the sweet smile of his mother.
"Yuki my dear, Mama is going to business meeting sweetie" she said, the little kid hugged her.
"mama are you going to cam back soon?" He asked
"Yes darling, I'll be here in no time" she said. Misao left the little kid on the massive living room and walked away, but in a turn she felt a tight grip holding her by the waist, making her to stop. The strong man whirled her around to make her face him, his hungry lips found their way to her own, she answered with the same passion, Aoshi led her to a nearby room and placed her on the bed, he followed and kissed her wildly, then he placed a soft hand on her belly and looked into her eyes, her tummy was not big enough to notice that she was pregnant, but he knew that his child was inside her, then he put his ear against it, ever careful to prevent his weight to hurt her. She touched his cheek.
"what's the matter?" she asked, he was not the kind of guy that makes that kind of stuffs.
"Nothing" he replied, he kissed her belly
"No, you really have something" she said
"Where were you going'" he asked and raised his chin
" I was going to make a little "visit", there's nothing to worry about" she said.
"In your state you shouldn't…" he was interrupted
"No Aoshi, I need to confirm, but I have to do it personally, I have to put conditions, terms, lots of things to do, I can't make tit by phone, business is business" said Misao.
"Let me do it for you…. please" he begged.
"Aoshi but…" she said
"please" he said again
"Alright, alright, do it" she said. He stood up, he really knew how to convince her, she could be so weak when he showed her concern.

'Damn Kenshin' where did you leave that fucking thing?' he said to himself
"Don't worry Ken , You'll find it later" Sanosuke said
"It's really basic I find it" Kenshin said
"I have the information you requested" said Sanosuke he took out a folder "he really is a bastard, check his profile" he added.
"COA, SAA, IAD" Kenshin red out loud "Bastard, he really has worked for this organizations?" he asked.
"And that's not the worst of all, keep reading" sanosuke said
"He participated in the murder of the COA Chief!" he said amazed
"No wonder why Hiko kicked him out, he was like a double agent" sanosuke said and scratched his head.
"I know" Kenshin said "He was also working with Andres Chang" he added
"be careful Kenshin, he's a dangerous guy"
"Don't worry I am too" Kenshins said and kept reading.
"I talked with Hiko, he provided me a lot of information, They are currently working…"
"Working with the IAD" Kenshin added "I know, The COA is interested to unite forces with Hiko's but he's a hard man, he won't be easily convinced"
"the Older you get the harder to convince" Sanosuke said "Oi Ken I gotta go, take care, and take care of jou–chan" they shook hands
"I will, believe me I really take care of her" they laughed "And you take care of the Fox"
"I am, I am, she's a hard lady, But I can handle her" he said and made him a thump up

"Have you though of something in special" the man asked Aoshi
"Well actually we have" he said coldly
"Well what is it?"
"A Baptize, we think I'll be alright" Aoshi said "we want a huge preparation"
"Sir, It's a wonderful idea" the man replied "leave everything to us" a not so tall woman appeared behind a desk, she was holding a portfolio, she had sleepy eyes, her raiven hair was loose, Aoshi opened his eyes wide, he was sure he had seen her before.
"Mr. Shinomori?" asked the woman
"yes?" he said, he didn't rust that woman, he had a strange feeling about her
"The date" she said
"Next week" he said coldly, his eyes never leaving hers
"Perfect, we'll have time to arrange everything" she said and glanced at the other man.
"But first I need to state our conditions"
"Very well" said the man that really looked more like a Girl.
"Kamatari" said the woman
"What's wrong?" he said annoyed
"I better leave" she said
"Alright honey, do whatever you want" he said "where were we?" asked Kamatari.
"I'll state our conditions"
"Oh yes, I remember, go on" he said
"First we will like to….

"What a Day!" said Kaoru, she was having lunch with Soujiro at a place called the Akabeko, it was not a fancy place or the finest, it was just another neighborhood restaurant, cozy and comfy "feeling better?" she asked, they had talked about for hours, they cried, they laughed till they felt the need for something to eat.
"Yes I think so" he said with a smile on his face
"Kenshin is going to be out, he'll return till tomorrow, maybe we can go to a party or a club, like the old times" she said.
"Sounds fun" he said ad took a sip of his coke
"then it's decided we'll go to dance and then to a party" he sighed, he really didn't like those things, but with her it was always fun.
Her cell phone rang she answered it was Kenshin calling his sweetheart.
"Hello" she asked
"Hello Kaoru, Were are you?" he asked, he was waiting for her answer even though he alredy knew were she was, he had this weird stuff to check her current position in case someone tried to kidnap her.
"Well…" she said and glanced at Soujiro "I'm with soujiro in a restaurant called the Akabeko"
"The Akabeko?" he asked, he had gone himself to that place a couple of times to search for a woman called tae, she was a kind of an agent that kept him informed about several things and even though Kaoru was also an assassin like Kenshin she had really left all the assassination stuffs, he also did but he liked to keep in touch with that world. He knew she was going to be safe in there.
"Kaoru, I'm ready to leave, I'll come back tomorrow morning" he said "I love you"
"I love you too honey" she said "Be careful and take care"
"I will bye" he said
"Bye" Kaoru said.
