They continued in silence. The walk seemed to take forever. As they neared the dojo, Kenshin attempted to put Kaoru down, but she refused to let go, clinging to him as if her life depended on it.

“Shhh..” he muttered, “it's okay now, we're here.” As if trying to coax her in to letting go. He noticed his Gi being slightly off color of the usual pinkish color. Kaoru was bleeding. He ran into the dojo, her still clinging onto him. He rounded the final corner to the main room, when he heard screams. As he approached, Megumi and Sanoske were wrestling. How lovely he thought.

“Move!” he barked, “Get her a futon NOW Sano!”

“What the fu..”

“NOW!” Sano got up, and literally ran at the speed of light to do what he was told. Himura didn't have to be told what to do. She sprang to her feet, and practically waddled to her medical kit stored in one of the smaller dressers.

“What happened?”

“A guy who hated me probably injured her. He shouldn't have brought her into this mess. I'd kill him a thousand times over again.”

“O-oh-o.”

“Are you okay?” Megumi gently chided, trying not to shock her friend.

“Y-ye-yes.”

“Right. Kenshin, get fresh bandages. SANO where are you?”

“Coming, I got the, HOLY SHIT!” Kaoru now was surrounded in a pool of milky-red blood. Kenshin wasted no time, grabbing the bandages from Sano, Megumi taking the ointment, and they worked hastily, trying their best not to hurt her. Kaoru whimpered, leaving Kenshin feeling guilty and mad.

“Let her sleep, Kenshin, stay with her, you look like you're gonna jump outtta your skin if you're not by her. Sano and Megumi left the room, and in the distance you could hear Yahiko snore loudly. Kenshin curled up right by Kaoru, she was soothed by his steady heart beat. They laid there for the rest of the night, both not sleeping, yet not awake.
