Kaoru's mistake: An Oath Broken
Kauru lay on her futon staring up at the ceiling blankly. Reflecting on the horrible incident that had happened just hours before. Tears streamed down her face as she reminisced about the biggest mistake of her life.
"Kenshin be careful!" Kaoru yelled. She, Yahiko, and Sanoske stared in horror as the unbeatable Battosai was gaining more and more disadvantage as the raging battle went on. The enemy slashed menacingly with his sword while Kenshin was gaining more injuries by the minute. The ex- manslayer managed to block what would have been a fatal blow. Then backed away and prepared to attack.
"Hiten Mitsurugi style Ryu TAI SAN!!" Himura shouted as he charged at the assailant. The menacing man blocked Kenshin's blow and cut his hand, while the reverse blade sword flew across the battle scene landing just a few feet from Kaoru and the others.
"Kenshin watch out!" cried Yahiko. "It's no use now" Sano replied, "without his sword, Kenshin doesn't stand a chance."
Kaoru stood there dumbstruck as Kenshin knelt and gripped his hand in defeat. The enemy taunted Kenshin by saying, "So.... this is the legendary Hitokiri Battosai. Pathetic! Now you die!" He jumped back a few feet and poised his sword as if to charge. At that moment something went through Kaoru's mind. She couldn't just stand there and let the man she loved die without doing anything.
( AN: I know this part is a little unrealistic, but bear with me here ppl ^-^) As soon as Kenshin's assailer took off Kaoru did the same, not toward Kenshin, but his sword. She grabbed the sword and raced toward the murderer. Without thinking she did the only thing she could, lashed out. Seconds later, the enemy fell to the ground. Sanoske, Yahiko, and Kenshin all stared with unblinking eyes. It took Kaoru a moment but she finally registered that the reverse blade sword was actually turned to the sharp side. Kaoru looked at the body and saw blood running across the stone, then she dared to look at her hand and saw it covered with the assailant's blood that had dripped from the sword.
Kaoru dropped the sword and stared at her hands in disbelief. "Miss Kaoru?" Kenshin said quietly. He looked down at the sword he had vowed never to kill with stained with the blood of another.
"I..... I didn't know" Kaoru pleaded, "I... didn't know. I didn't mean to. ......Didn't realize the sword was...... turned." A few tears strayed from Kaoru's shocked eyes. She turned and ran all the way back to the dojo leaving the others behind to dwell in their shock.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
And now, Kaoru lay in bed dwelling opun her mistake. How she had broken one of the most important vows of the Kamiya- Kashin style, disgraced her late father, and stained the sword of a man who has vowed never to kill again.
