A/N: I got a review that said that Kaoru's life story contradicted the story she told Kenshin but it really doesn't. The story from the first chapter is narrowed down to that one family member and is how she got her cloak, gloves and boots. The story in the last chapter is how she was bonded. Hope I cleared that up! Oh and this story does not have a beta so the grammar and spelling will be a little iffy.
Disclaimer: I don't own it.
Kaoru walked down the halls to the dining room. She had slept in a room that was put together extremely quick, it was befitting for her. She sighed; all she wished was that her family had never been captured; that things would start over from there. People needed a reason to live and for her that would be it. She grinned, her new purpose would be to go back in time and change what happened. It would probably be impossible or kill her but it was now her driving force.
She had made it to the dining room, receiving a lot of stares. She tried to ignore them but they were starting to aggravate her. Why would the Sun God want to marry a human anyway? She inwardly smirked; today her seat was right next to Kenshin's.
Sitting down she looked at the seat next to hers, which just happened to be Tomoes'. She smiled, the Yukishiro's would pay. First Kaoru would take away what Tomoe wanted most, to marry Kenshin. Unfortunately for her there was an unspoken agreement in the world of the gods; none will marry a human for love. Marrying a human for love would just lead to the other gods killing said human.
Kaoru glanced at Tomoe; who politely smiled. "Who are you?" Tomoe 'kindly' asked. Kaoru had been around her long enough to know that it was an act. Kaoru refused to let Tomoe have any more wins, the two had always been good at acting.
"Another girl trying to win the heart of Lord Himura."
Tomoe nodded smiling; yet Kaoru knew she was inwardly fuming. At that moment Kenshin walked in. Everyone rose, seating themselves after Kenshin sat down. Calling everyone to attention Kenshin stood up.
"Today, we have a special guest that we are thankful to have in our castle, the goddess of the night, Kamiya Kaoru."
Kenshin gestured to Kaoru who smiled at all the death glares she received. They had already been out of Kenshin's league but they had a slimmer of a chance of marrying him. Now that a goddess was here, especially an unmarried one, they had next to none.
"I'm honored to be here." Kaoru said, causing Kenshin to smile down at her.
Tomoe growled, "I apologize for interrupting but where is my bodyguard?"
Many people were surprised at Tomoe's rude outburst yet Kaoru was inwardly cheering.
"Right here." Kaoru said venomously.
Tomoe looked really confused, "Then you're not the goddess of Night."
"I'm both, actually, I used to be your bodyguard but now I'm not. Your family imprisoned mine so many years ago and we've served you until I was the last one left. I never thought one of you would be stupid enough to break a curse your own family cast."
"Then I can imprison you again." Tomoe said after her initial shock. Kaoru burst out laughing.
"You're a fake royal! You honestly think you'd be able to do it? You'd kill yourself to try and get me in your servitude? The chances of it working are about one percent."
"I'm a royal! You can't talk to me like that!" Tomoe demanded.
"I'm a goddess and the kingdom of Nuit was never really ruled by the Yukishiros'. When I was allowed to go out at night I made sure that all the magical creatures were in my support and that they followed what I said instead of what you said. I made sure not to contradict; I would hate to get them in trouble."
"You lie!" Tomoe demanded.
"Why would I lie? I'm going to reclaim Nuit in the name of all my family members that died in your service." A breeze swept through the room setting Kaoru's words deep in the hearts of all who heard them.
A/N: I'm done! I've updated this story a lot lately and I adore my reviewers! So please read and review! I updated all my fics for my b-day!
