Author's note: This is a Kaoru/Kenshin fic. Well, honestly, I prefer
battousai rather than rurouni but some people prefer the rurouni. Oh well..
Chapter 1
Kenshin was sick. VERY sick. He was lying on his futon with Kaoru, Yahiko and Sano around him. Megumi told them that Kenshin has a very high fever and he might die from it but there's still hope.
Kaoru can't stop crying. The look of pain from Kenshin's face made it even harder to stop. Yahiko just sat there quietly, tried to hide his sadness and Sano doing the same thing.
"Jo-chan, stop crying. I'm sure Kenshin doesn't want you to be sad because of him. He'll be alright. I promise," said Sano softly.
"I just feel guilty. He always protects me from danger and sorrow but now.. Now, I can only sit around with Kenshin lying in front of me with such great pain.. I'm just a helpless, baka, idiot."
"NO!! You're not like that!! Get a hold on yourself! You have to be brave. It's not like you can do anything to save kenshin. Only the doctors can. It's not your fault. Kenshin is lucky to have you by his side. So do the rest of us..," said Sano as he wrapped his arms around Kaoru's shoulder.
"That's right Busu! And..," Yahiko began but he stopped when Kenshin muttered something. Something unexpected. "Tomoe."
************
It has been a week since Kenshin felt sick. And all the while, he kept calling tomoe's name.
One night, Kaoru, Yahiko and Sano went to Kenshin's bedroom at the same time. Kaoru sat beside Sano and Yahiko across them. Kaoru brushed strands of hair from Kenshin's face and then.
"tomoe.. please.. tomoe.."
Kaoru cried and started to go out of the room when Sano spoke up, " Jou chan.. Where are you going? Don't mind him.. Tomoe was his past love and he has you now and.." Kaoru cut in, "Sano. I know you're just cheering me up but.. look at him, hear him.. Ever since he got ill, he only mention Tomoe's name over and over.. Never did he mention mine.. I.. I.. I'm going to sleep now.. Goodnight"
Kaoru left and followed by Yahiko. Sano watched Kenshin's face once again and left but before he closed the door, he said "Kenshin.. If you only knew.. Jouchan really loves you.." And so, he shut the door and at the same time, Kenshin murmured,
"Kaoru.. Don't leave me. Kaoru."
************
(At Kaoru's room) 'Kenshin. you really love tomoe .. I would do everything for you even if you want me to bring tomoe to you.. if only I could then you don't have to suffer like this. you love her. Her.Tomoe Himura. kenshin. tomoe..' Kaoru then dazed off to sleep.
All of a sudden, Kaoru was on a dark room. 'Where am I?' Kaoru thought. 'Is this a dream?'
'My dear child. I have come to wipe away all your tears and sorrow. Don't be sad. I will grant whatever you wish. Now, say what you want,' said a voice loud and clear. And then, a beautiful woman wearing a yellow kimono with sakura petals on it.
Kaoru asked, "Who are you? Why all of the sudden you come to me?"
The woman replied, "I'm your goddess. You are sad and you shouldn't be. Tell me what's bothering you. Is it because of the sick man?"
Kaoru then begged, "Oh my dear goddess.. Please help him.. He needed his love, tomoe, very much.. please bring her back to him. please. I will do anything.. please.."
The goddess smiled and said, "Very well. This task is your responsibility and yours alone. I will send you back to a time where rain of blood falls."
Kaoru whispered, "Rain.of.blood." and then, all she could see was pitch black.
************
Kaoru opened her eyes and was amazed by what is right in front of her. It was a hitokiri killing two innocent children. Kaoru couldn't handle her anger anymore so she took a wooden pole (short one) and hit the hitokiri at the back. The hitokiri faced her with a shocked expression.
"You bitch! How dare you hit me?!"
"You monster! How can you be so heartless to kill 2 innocent children?!" Kaoru shot back.
The hitokiri was about to charged when suddenly a man called him, "Jin-eh! We have to fall back. Battousai are coming!"
'Jineh. He was the one who captured me. Wait. Battousai is coming?!! I have to hide.' Kaoru thought panicly. Kaoru ran to a deserted small hut and she also managed to steal some money from the children. (Hey, I'm sorry bcos I have to make Kaoru a thief. But hey, those children died already! :P)
************
"Battousai-san.. I think Jin-eh and his other troops had left already. There's no need to search again," said a man who stood beside Battousai.
"Aa. We can go back now. Tomoe is waiting for me," whispered Battousai expressionlessly.
Kaoru, who heard this from her hiding place, tried hard to hold her tears from falling. 'So.. he and tomoe-san has married. Now, I have to prevent Tomoe from dying but where does she live?... But where do I live? Not here, for sure!'
Suddenly a small hand touched kaoru's shoulder making kaoru jumped. Then, she saw a girl. About 7 or 8 years old with raven hair and sapphire eyes. She just smiled and said, "Hi miss. What are you doing here?"
Kaoru stuttered, "Uhmm.. I am a wanderer.. I have no place to go.."
The girl spoke, "Hehehe.. You can live in my house.. I'm sure mommy and daddy will allow that. By the way, my name is Kaoru. Kamiya Kaoru.. What's yours?"
~~~~~~~~
So.. how is it? Hope you like it.. Hey, just wanna ask something..Do you think tomoe should be with kenshin or kaoru should.. I mean in the past.. ? Okay then.. Ja ne~
