Sano led them off into the fading sun's direction. Kenshin was the last one in the line, lost in his own thoughts about IF the food was really making Yahiko sick or not. “WE ARE HERE!” Sanoske yelled as they were on the dojo property, obviously relieved at not having to carry the near-to-puking preteen. “Great, now get him onto his futon, and I'll see to him,” Megumi said, finally taking action at the almost green boy sprawled out in front of her. “When I said get him onto the futon, I kind of meant nicely.” Megumi said, clearly annoyed. “You should have specified.” “Jerk.” “Idiot” “KNOCK IT OFF!” The angry Battosai said, “Sorry,” Sanoske and Megumi said in unison. “Okay, Yahiko can you talk?” “Owwwwwww,” was the response. “Okay, Kaoru, can you get me some cold water?” “Sure.” Kaoru replied, already walking out the door. “Kenshin, go with her, make sure she comes back.” “Comes back?” Kenshin asked, “Yeah, last time she went to the well there was a terrible incident.” “Incident, of what sort?” “She was raped.” Before Kenshin even gave a second thought he ran right after Kaoru, screaming various curses. THEY DID WHAT TO KAORU?! “Kenshin, what is it?” came the sweet, melodious voice from his right. “Kaoru, you were raped?!” Kenshin blurted out, giving no thought before talking. She gave him a pained, almost bitter look, “Who told you?” “Megumi.” “Yeah, I was raped,” Kaoru practically spit at him, “my father's old comrades, liked me more than he thought.” She looked at him, her tears falling freely down her pale, almost ashen skin. Kenshin could see the memories come flooding back to her and the pain they brought with. She continued, “I was going to the well, the same thing had happened, Yahiko had gotten sick, and again he needed water.” Kenshin felt the anger burning up. Woo Battosai “Since my father had been killed, there was no need for them to be careful with me. I still have the s-scars.” Kaoru was desperately trying the fight the tears back, but the effort she had was tiring. A second later, Kaoru found herself being pulled into a strong embrace. “Its okay now.” Was all Kenshin could say. Kaoru let the tears come full throttle now. Kaoru looked up into his eyes, he was crying too. She cuddled closer towards him. “Why didn't you tell me?” “Normal people don't yell out that they have been raped.” In response, Kenshin leaned closer towards her, their lips almost touching. “I will not let anything happen to you, ever again.” He whispered in her ear, sending chills down her back. He leaned in closer, closer, making her breaths more ragged with every centimeter he moved closer. “K-en” before she could finish, his mouth was over hers, her next words barely audible, being stifled by his mouth. She instinctively leaned into his touch, her chest arched against his. For once in her adult life, she felt safe. For once, fate was not against her.
