"Come I shall take you back, this man obviously won't leave me alone unless I leave and I have no reason to fight him. So once your there I will leave from here."

Kaoru only nodded and walked with him back to the dojo which he knew Kenshin would already be there waiting since that's where he sent him.

A Fatal Decision

Walking back to the Dojo Kaoru saw Kenshin leaning forward looking at Sesshomaru harshly.

"Kenshin!" Kaoru ran in front of him. "Are you ok?" She asked looking over his body.

"Step aside woman this is not your fight and you didn't care before so get back." He snapped at her throwing her to the side. His eyes flickered gold on and off.

"Kenshin, what's wrong?" She whispered to herself.

"You!" He pointed at Sesshomaru with his sword which he then turned it to the real blade. "We will fight for Kaoru!"

"Pathetic. You think that you can kill me? I see the hate and anger in your eyes I know how much you care for this woman but to go over the edge from jealousy is pathetic. I have no intension to fight a mere human over this woman she can choose herself." He kept his calm voice not wanting to get angry at something so childish.

"Shut up! You'll fight whether I have to force you or not!" He ran toward Sesshomaru who only pushed Kenshin away as he moved behind him.

Almost losing his balance he stopped himself. Turning himself around he ran at him once more slashing side ways. Sesshomaru jumped up and landed to the side unharmed.

"Die already!" Kenshin cried bringing his sword down but Sesshomaru moved to the other side of him.

"Damn he's quick, but my god like speed is faster, if I can just, ah ha!" Kenshin flipped backwards twisting as he came down with the sword. Sesshomaru saw the attack in time to jump over him and on to the rail above the gate.

"He hit me, how can a human be so fast?"

"I was sure I hit him." Just then Sesshomaru's armor broke off.

"Not enough." Kenshin growled in his mind.

"Why don't you come down from there!" Kenshin yelled charging forth the gate jumping in the air then coming back down. All of a sudden the gate blew open in pieces.

Sesshomaru still remanded crouching while holding a sleeve to his face so the dust wouldn't hit his nose or eyes.

"Ggggggrrrrrrrrrahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Kenshin cried out now frustrated as ever.

"Why don't you just give it up. You're a human and I won't let the likes of you defeat me." Sesshomaru was now getting angry.

"That's what you say! Get down here and I'll show you!"

Kaoru stood from the ground dusting herself off, she backed up almost into the forest so she wouldn't get in the way of this absurd fight.

"Fine." Sesshomaru jumped off the rail and in front of Kenshin.

"No let's see what you've got."

Kenshin shot a dirty look at him for him underestimating his abilities.

"You asked for it!" Kenshin stepped back then ran for Sesshomaru once more bringing his sword over his head and down for Sesshomaru.

Sesshomaru Jumped back and pushed Kenshin aside letting him lose his balance this time and slide across the dirt. Kenshin stood up now growling in anger turned his head to Sesshomaru and Kaoru could see the Battousi unleashed from his control.

She didn't mean for this to happen, but there was really nothing going on between her and Sesshomaru nothing that she would have liked to happen after waiting on Kenshin for so long she was getting tired of it.

"This time I will kill you." He said through closed teeth. Running for Sesshomaru he only moved aside again and Kenshin came to a halt in front of him, he had figured that he would do it again so he was going to beat him at his own game.

"Now as I said I will kill you here." He promised before jumping a long ways back and running for Sesshomaru.

'This attack will knock you down to give me enough time to end your life! Hiten Misturugi Ryu Sho Sen! He called jumping at him doing his multiple hit attack. After he was done he leaped backward to see him fall to the ground but to his surprise he still stood.

"What!? You can't!" Kenshin was even more frustrated and confused as before.

Sesshomaru put his sword back in the sheath that he quickly pulled out to dodge the hits.

"You think a move as weak as that could beat me well your wrong."

"I told you to shut it! I'm not done! I'll just get you with the next one that i learned, the ultimate technique!"

'I don't think so."

"Kenshin! Please don't, no more look at what you've become!" Kaoru not thinking how muck danger she could get into ran to Kenshin.

"Kenshin sliced down at Sesshomaru, but he only leaped on Kenshin's head making him a leverage to get Sesshomaru far back behind him.

Looking around he thought he had landed in front of Kaoru so she wouldn't be in harms way, but she was gone.

"This is the end for you!" Kenshin not realizing Kaoru was now running to him trying to stop him from losing it completely and Sesshomaru in back of her it was over and he was gone from all sanity. He had drove the blade straight through her not yet to his senses to know it was her he had done it to and not Sesshomaru who was still confused.

Sesshomaru lifted his head in time to hear a scream then a soft body fall on him. He caught her before she could fall to the ground.

Finally noticing what he had done he fell to the ground on his knees his sword at the ground in his hand as well.

Sesshomaru wasn't sure why she had down something so stupid, but knew he couldn't let her leave now.

He kneeled down laying her gently on the ground and searched her body for the wound.

"Kenshin…why?…" She choked on the blood that was forming in her mouth. Tears ran from her face as she knew her life was ending quickly.

"Don't cry." Sesshomaru wiped the tears away. Kaoru could barely make out the face but when she saw the moon she new it was Sesshomaru's. Reaching up she placed a finger on his face outlining the scars that ran along his cheeks.

There was nothing more to say now, it was gone her hopes, wishes, and dreams were now devoured by the darkness that would soon take over her very own life. She put her hand beside her and closed her eyes and before he knew it she was gone.

Kenshin could only keep his head toward the ground as he knew what he had done, and wouldn't dare look at her anymore.

The blood from her wound was stilling spilling out even with her dead. Sesshomaru couldn't take the sight and smell of jasmine mixed with dirt and blood. It stung his nose to much, and the thought of her dead was bad enough. He knew what he had to do, it was only right since it was him who went there and ruined the twos lives together.

He stood up, pulling the Tetsaiga from its sheath he brought it down cutting through her.

Kenshin heard the click of the blade and immediately looked up to see Sesshomaru bring his sword down on her.

"Wait!" he reached out but it was to late he already did it.

Kaoru's body now glowed a bright yellow nearly blinding Kenshin. Soon after a short time it died down. And her chest began to rise. She was breathing and it scared Kenshin.
