Chapter 8

I was looking out the window and watched the birds and the clouds in the endless pool of blue sky. I loved to just look up to the sky and just wonder about things.

I sometimes just look up there and my mind is blank like a white piece of paper, nothing comes to my mind. (A/N: Do you know what I mean? Because that happens to me sometimes, or I just think about my crush *blushes*)

I had no idea where we were going. I looked over to Kenshin and he was driving and by the looks of it he was plotting something. I got curious as to what he was thinking about. I sighed and looked out the window again. Everything was silent but for the car roaring.

"Kaoru?"I heard him call my name. I didn't know why but I loved the way his deep voice said my name. I turned my head and looked at him curiously.

"Yeah?" I said. He smirked. 'That can't be good' I thought. He took out a black piece of cloth and pulled the car to the side of the road.

"What-"

"Turn around" he ordered. I looked at him as if he was crazy.

"Why the hell should I-"

"Just turn around I want this to be a surprise" he said simply. I couldn't help the corner's of my lips go up into a smile. I turned around as he said and he blind folded me.

"Ok, now can you see anything?" he asked.

"No" I said as I shook my head.

"Ok, now you can't take it off until I say you can ok?" he said.

"Ok" I replied. I heard him turn on the car engine and we were off again.

I didn't know how long we drove for but I fell asleep because of the darkness of the blind fold made me tired but I woke from the shaking and a male voice. I opened my eyes and all I saw was black.

I lifted my hands to my eyes but something grabbed my hand. I froze.

"Kaoru?"I heard Kenshin say. I sighed in relief but then a smile crept its way onto my lips.

"Are we here?" I asked excitedly. I heard a deep laugh from Kenshin.

"In a way yes, but you can't take off the blind fold" he said while pulling at my hand to make me stand up.

I tried to find his other hand to help me get up. His hand found mine and I held it tight while he pulled me up and out of the car. I stretched once he let go and I got a head rush (A/N: you know when you sit down for too long and then you just stand up all of a sudden and your vision goes all funny and you feel light headed? That's what Kaoru is having)

I took a step backwards and I felt Kenshin's hand on my back.

"You alright?" he asked.

"Yeah just got a head rush" I laughed.

I felt him apply some pressure on my back saying it was time to move. I held his other hand and I walked close to him for guidance. We walked for a while and I heard nothing but birds and the wind.

'Where on earth are we?' I thought. I smiled again thinking how nice it was to have someone like Kenshin doing this for me even though I don't know him every well but I liked his company.

We stopped walking and Kenshin untied the blind fold.

"You can open your eyes now" he whispered into my ear. I felt shivers go down my spin when he said that.

I blinked a couple of times and adjusted my eyes to the new scene in front of me. I gasped. It was truly beautiful.

We where standing on top of a hill that was looking out onto the ocean. At the very top there was a weeping willow tree (A/N: I love those trees) that was slightly swaying with the wind. Underneath the tree was a red tartan blanket that was spread out on the grass with a picnic basket.

"Do you like it?" Kenshin asked while looking at me with peaceful lavender eyes.

"It's…beautiful…breath taking" I said while gazing at him. He smiled softly at me.

"Would you like to come and join me for some lunch?" he asked while holding out his hand. I smiled and glided my hand into his strong yet gentle hands. "I would love to"

We ate our lunch while talking about everything. I learnt a lot about Kenshin and he learned a lot about me. I looked over to the beach and then to the ocean.

"Would you like to take a walk with me to the beach?" Kenshin asked while getting up. I smiled up at him and took his hand.

We ran down the hill with bear feet laughing while holding hands. I was truly happy I felt all bubbly and so peaceful. I couldn't get the smile off my face; it was like it was plastered there. But I love this feeling.

We walked over to the water and walked in the small waves. How I loved the ocean.

"Kenshin…"

"Hmm…"

"Don't you just wish life can be like this all the time?" I asked while looking over to the sun that was setting. We stopped and sat down on the sand.

"I do wish life could be like this all the time…but sadly I can't always be like this, we only live one day at a time and everyday only comes once in a life time" said Kenshin while looking at the beautiful colours that the sun was showing us.

The red, yellows, oranges and amber colours all reminded me of Kenshin.

I felt his warm arm go around my shoulders and I snuggled close to him. We stayed that way until the sun set and it was starting to get cold and dark.

"We better get going Kaoru" he said. I sighed, I didn't want to go. I just wanted to say here…with him. Kenshin got up and he pulled me with him. We headed back to where we had our lunch and packed up everything.

Then we started to head back to the car. I looked back and smiled. I truly did enjoy myself today.

Kenshin dropped me off at my place and I watched his car go off into the distance. I sighed and walked into the apartment building.

I got to my door and opened it up.

"Hello?" I called while closing the door behind me. There was no answer. 'I wonder where Sanosuke and Misao are.' I thought while walking down the hall and into the langue room. When I got there I wish I hadn't. It was a mess.

The chairs around the table were scatted everywhere, chips, sake bottles, magazines, cups, plates and everything was just a BIG mess. It was like a party had happened while I was gone.

"Stupid Tori-atama, this is your entire fault Sanosuke" I said angrily to myself. I walked around to the table and started to clean things up. I got half of it down when I heard a knock at the door.

I looked at the clock that was hanging from the wall. 9:30pm. 'I wonder who that could be?' I thought curiously while walking to the front door.

I opened it up and stared Shockley at sliver hair…

******

Mean while with Kenshin….

I took a deep breath in and let it out. The air smelt like Jasmine. I smiled. Today was a very peaceful day, if only it could be like that all my life. I sighed.

My life would never be like that, never. I had bloodstained hands that never can be cleaned. 'Once a killer, always a killer until the day he dies…' The words Jin-eh said replayed in my head.

I griped my stirring wheel tight and I clenched my jaw. Is that how I'll live the rest of my life? Been a merciless killer, cold and heartless?

Will I stay Battousai for the rest of my life? I started to become angry and I drove home quickly.

******

At Kaoru's place…

"Enishi…" I gasped. "What are you doing here?" he turned around at the mention of his name. His gray eyes stared back into mine.

I felt a pin in my heart…I felt like I was betraying Kenshin? But how could I betray Kenshin when nothing was going on between us? Or was there?

"Hey Kaoru" he said smoothly while smiling. "Can I come in?" he asked.

"Sure" I whispered and let him walk through the door. He smiled and walked past. I closed the door and walked into the langue room while he followed me.

"Is there any you would like?" I asked while looking at him.

******

'Yeah there is something I would like, you…' I thought while tiring hard not to lick my lips. I didn't know why but ever since we have met I couldn't stop myself but think about her. I would always get distracted and wonder off into my own world…

^^~Flash Back~^^

'Who's Kataha' I thought curiously, while occasional taking a sip from my warm coffee.

'I wonder if it's her boyfriend…no…I found her when she broke up with her boyfriend…Akira…' I thought while starting to get angry.

'Why doesn't Kaoru hate me? My sister took Akira away from her…but I still don't like Akira there's just something about him that I don't trust …if he does anything to my sister and Kaoru I swear…he wont live to see another day, and I'll make sure of that' I thought bitterly 'but why do I care so much about Kaoru?'

I sighed, got up and left my restaurant. I walked to my car and drove off to see my sister; I had to talk to her she's the only one that can understand me and how I feel.

At Tomoe's house…

I walked up to the front door and was about to knock but the door just opened by it's self. I frowned; it wasn't like her to be so careless about leaving the front door unlocked.

I opened it up and sensed something different in the air. I walked in and closed the door quietly making sure not to make a noise. The house was dark and all the curtains were closed.

I knitted my eye brows together. Something wasn't right I could feel it. I looked to my left were the TV area was and no one was there.

I walked into the room and looked over to where the kitchen was, still no one. I growled what was going on?

I closed my eyes and took a deep breath. I felt two Ki's one female and one male. I opened my eyes slowly.

One was defiantly Tomoe's, but the other one I didn't know. I walked silently to the kitchen and turned the corner to walk into the hall way towards the bedrooms.

I stopped when I heard some shuffling. It was coming from my sister's bed room. I slowly walked over to my room where I sometimes stayed.

I opened the shoji (A/N: a Japanese door, I think?) and walked over to the cabinet. Opened it and took out a Katana. I didn't really like to use them but it was the only one I had here. (A/N: HELP!!! What kinda Katana does Enishi use?)

I heard a small gasped and a small whimper. I gripped the Katana and I stalked over to me sister's bedroom. I stopped outside the shoji and listened.

"No…Please…no stop it…" I heard her whimper. That was it I kicked the door down and pulled my Katana out of its sheath.

My eyes widened at the sight. My sister's hands were tied to the bed head and a male figure was on top of her. I looked at her face and saw the tears rolling down her face.

Our eyes locked in a gaze. "Tomoe…" I whispered. The man spun around and looked at me. I gripped the hilt of my Katana so tight my knuckles were white. My angry flared dangerously.

I had to restrain myself from jumping on him right there and then and killing him. If I did Tomoe would get hurt.

"Akira…" I growled. He smirked and looked down at my katana that I was holding. I knew I was shaking, but it wasn't from fear but complete and utter rage. His smirk slipped away from his face and he starred at me as if willing me to come there and kill him. Oh was I tempted to.

"Get off her…now" I said while raising my voice coldly. "Enishi…" Tomoe choked. I looked at her pleading eyes. I knew she was asking me not to do anything but I couldn't promise that, I had made a promise today.

How could you promise something like that when you walk in and see your own sister been forced to do something she doesn't want to do.

"Shut up, bitch" Akira hollowed. "DON'T YOU TALK TO HER LIKE THAT" I shouted in rage. He looked back at me "And what are you going to do about it? Huh?" he teased.

"Why don't you come over here and I'll show you" I dared. "Or are you to weak to face me without holding my sister?" he growled at my comment and grabbed Tomoe by the throat. I took a step forward.

"One step closer and one more step to your sisters death and I'll break her neck and then you'll never be able to see your precious sister" he said seriously.

I stopped instantly when I saw Tomoe crying and the look on her face.

"Good" he said and turned towards Tomoe's face. "You have a very Obedient brother, you should learn to be more like him" he said and licked her face. She shivered and cried even more.

That was it, that's all I could handle. I ran over to the bed and kicked Akira off Tomoe and jumped over the bed where he had landed and stabbed him in the right hand side of his stomach.

He screamed in pain and blood went all over my clothes, face, and room. I pulled out the Katana and picked him up by the collar.

I shoved him hard against the wall and put the Katana to his throat and said "I made a promise to myself today, and that was if you even did anything to Kaoru or my sister I would make sure you would never live to see another day" I said coldly.

I placed it to Akira's throat and pushed a little. He whimpered and I smirked evilly as blood dripping and oozed its way down his throat. I was about to finish him off but I heard Tomoe scream.

"ENISHI STOP THIS" I froze and looked over to her. She was crying again.

"Tomoe…" I whispered and then I frowned and turned but to Akira who had the look of fear in his eyes.

"Why should I, he hurt you Tomoe, he disserves to pay for what he did to you" I said while apply more pressure to his neck and he cried in response.

"Enishi…please" she pleaded. I clenched my teeth.

"If you ever come near me, or Kaoru or Tomoe I swear I'll not be so merciless, do you hear me?" I warned. No answer.

I pulled him back and shoved him harder against the wall, he grunted in pain.

"I said DO YOU HEAR ME?" I repeated. He nodded "y-yes…yes s-sir" said flightily. "Good" and I through him across the room and out of the door. He landed on the wall and fell to the floor in a big heap.

"Now…GET OUT" I screamed. He slowly pulled himself up while holding the side of his stomach. He straggled down the hall way and out the door.

I quickly went to Tomoe and undid the bindings and hugged her. She hugged me back and we both started to cry. I was relived to see that she was half alright.

I pulled back from our embrace and looked at her in the eyes.

"Tomoe tell me…was he always like that?" I asked seriously. I had to know because if he was like this with Kaoru then I had to go and talk to her and hunt Akira down.

She sniffed "If I t-tell you…y-you promise you w-wont go and hurt h-him again?" she shuttered. "I promise"

She looked away and had a distance look in her eyes. I sifted so that I was holding her. I started to stroke her hair soothingly and waited for her to tell me.

"When I first meet Akira, he was a nice gentle man, kind and caring" she said sadly. I snorted. 'Yeah right, not after witnessing that' I thought disgusted.

"As you know we were together for along time, 1 ½ years, he was the best I thought I could stay with him for my whole life…it was only until the last couple of months he started to drop his act…he became more violent, more aggressive and less caring"

"Why didn't you tell me any of this?" I asked her. "Because I didn't want you to do anything like you did now" she said.

"But he hurt you Tomoe more than anything else, how could I not do anything?" I said. "It doesn't matter anymore Enishi, you're here now and you saved me, that's all that matters." She said while hugging me.

I sighed, I'm glad that it was over but there was still one more thing to do. I had to go and talk to Kaoru about it. It maybe too soon but I have to find out if he had done anything to her.

I looked down at Tomoe who had fallen asleep. I smiled sadly and I started to slowly fall asleep. I would go and see Kaoru Tomorrow and talk to her. I fell asleep dreaming about how beautiful she was.

^^~ End of Flash back ~^^

"Hello? Is anyone there?" I heard a voice say. I blinked and shook my head and looked at the person. I smirked lazily.

"You just zoomed out on me Enishi; I was asking you would you like something to drink?" Kaoru asked annoyed.

"Eh, sorry about that, I was just thinking about something, yeah I would like a drink" I replied. She smiled and walked over to the kitchen.

"Is tea alright?" she called. I smiled and nodded. I looked around her apartment and I have to admit it was very fancying. I walked over to the wall sized windows and looked out side into the town below.

The lights were on and cars drove fast down the streets. I looked up from the streets to the buildings to the sky.

The stars were shining bright tonight. I smiled.

"Hey what are you looking at?" asked Kaoru while handing me a cup of tea. I took the cup and sipped the tea.

"I was looking at the stars, there very lovely tonight" I said while looking down at her. She smiled up at me and looked into the stars.

"Yes they are, aren't they" she replied while smiling. Kaoru had the most cheer fullest smile ever and her eyes always shone brightly when she did. I then frowned, thinking about what had happened yesterday with Tomoe.

"Kaoru did Akira do anything to you?" I asked seriously. She almost choked on her tea. Her sapphire eyes looked up at me shocked.

"Why would you ask something like that?" she asked nervously. I frown again 'why is she nervous' I thought.

"Because I need to know if he did or not" I replayed while keeping a close eye on her emotions and reactions.

"Why?" she asked again. I sighed and looked out the window into the stars.

"You do know that I am the brother of Tomoe, the one that Akira went back to" I said quietly.

"Went back to?" she repeated. I nodded my head.

"Yes went back to, he…he did something horrible to my sister and I'll never forgive him for what he had done. That's why I need to know if he had done anything to you." I said. I looked back at her and she was looking out into the sky.

"He tried to do something to me Enishi" she said sadly while a lone tear ran its way down her cheek. I put mine and hers cups up down and wiped the tear away.

"Please tell me what happened, Kaoru?" I pleaded softly. She looked at me sadly while remembering what had happened.

"Akira…he…"
