Disclaimer: I don't own RK or anything to do with RK so there. The only thing I own is my own characters and the story line I am writing.
Leokia: I am back with another chapter of Light Behind Darkness Chapter 13. This chapter will be longer than they others except Chapter 12 because even though it was in three parts it would be the longest chapter if all put together which I may do if I revise my fanfiction anytime soon. I hope that everyone like Chapter 12 all three parts and that everyone reads it and reviews it because I like getting reviews they tell me what I need to work on.
I already know that I need to work on the characters being OOC and when I revise my fanfiction if I do I will try not to make them too out of character but not so much that I may change the fanfiction in anyway because I want to keep the story line the way it is.
Okay I am done with my complaining and I will stop boring you with all the problems I think about my fanfiction and what I am going to do with it because I am sure you don't want too here about them. Well onto chapter 13 now.

Chapter 13: Battle of strengths: Battousai vs. Shishio
They ran up the stairs until finally they made it to the door that held Shishio and the girls in one room together. Kenshin hesitated for a minute before opening the door but when he did open it he was shocked to see the girls were fine for now anyway. Kenshin walked in and looked at Makato Shishio and then over to Kaoru who was more than happy to see him.
He looked back at Shishio "let the girls go I am here now you don't need them anymore." "Actually I do see if I want to destroy the strongest vampire. I at least need some bait to make sure he doesn't fight to his full known strength." Kenshin Hiko and Fortello all gasped when they heard what he said. Kaoru looked at Kenshin "don't hold back because of me don't even hold back because of Fantasia give it all you have even if we get hurt!"
Kenshin looked at Kaoru and knew she meant what she said but he couldn't bring himself to hurt either of them. He loved Kaoru with all his heart and he loved his cousins as well. He was not going to let them get hurt in a battle that was between him and Shishio. Kenshin looked at Shishio "Let them go and I will fight you to my full potential."
Shishio smirked "Houji take them to another room while me and the legendary Battousai the Manslayer fight to see who is more powerful and should rule this world!" Kenshin looked at him and then over to the girls "wait I need to see Fantasia for a minute." Fantasia looked at him and back at Kaoru and walked over to him "yes what is it Kenshin?" "Here I was to give this to you." Kenshin handed the necklace to her. Fantasia looked at it and started to cry she knew whose necklace it was. "Stop crying he told me to tell you not to cry for him. He wanted you to move on and be happy and that he loves you."
Fantasia started crying anyway and hugged Battousai not only did she not see her own pain but she had envisioned Battousai's pain before her own. She had not only caused herself pain but him as well. She didn't know what she was good for or why she even lived anymore. Kenshin looked at her and he hurt because he couldn't help her through this pain. Kenshin took her over to Kaoru and Kamilia and they both hugged her and told her it was going to be all right.
Kamilia looked at her sister and never wanted to see her in so much pain. Kamilia thought about what she could be thinking right now. Fantasia had just gotten Sora back only to lose him again. It made her hurt to know that her sister could go through so much pain in her life. Houji took all three girls out of the room. They all walked down in silence except for the sound of Fantasia crying. She couldn't handle this anymore. It was too much.
Houji finally made it back to the room where the girls had started out originally. All three of the girls sat on the bed and Kaoru and Kamilia tried their hardest to cheer Fantasia up. Houji left the three girls to be alone and went back to watch the fight. When he left Fantasia and Kaoru both, looked up while Kamilia was still looking down at her hands and wondering what Fantasia was actually thinking. Kamilia finally realized Fantasia wasn't crying anymore and looked up to see that she had an unreadable expression on her face.
Kamilia had seen that expression before when Battousai killed their parents. She had looked at him with that same expression. It was her expression that showed she had been through something painful but was going to live on because she had too. Kamilia also hated that expression because that is also the expression her sister gave when she was going to kill someone. She didn't want her sister to kill anyone especially not someone worth killing. His life was already hell she didn't need to send him to it.
"I will not take this sitting down" Kamilia looked up when she heard this and saw her sister standing and walking to the door with Kaoru following behind her. "You can't do this Fantasia! You just can't do this! I know he has hurt you but he doesn't deserve to die for it!" "He is going to die either way. Either I will kill him or Battousai will but Shishio will die before this day is over!" Kaoru watched the two sisters because that was all she could do. She couldn't stop them and there was nothing she could teach them because they already knew more than she did but she had to help them somehow.
Kaoru then remembered something that was told to her long ago. A friend of hers told her that no matter what if someone needs help you have to help them wether they want it or not. This was one of those times she was going to help Fantasia and Kamilia but she just had to figure out how. Kaoru thought about it and finally came up with how she could help. "I am going to help you also Fantasia because I feel you are right. I want Shishio gone and the only way is to kill him now before he can destroy anyone else lives!" They both turned and looked at Kaoru and Fantasia smiled.
"Thank you Kaoru for giving me confidence to go through with my plan." Fantasia walked up to her and hugged her. Kaoru looked at her and realized she had help Fantasia go on in her life and that made Kaoru happy but Kaoru would have to do some more thinking on how to make sure Battousai would win the battle with Shishio and destroy him once and for all. All three girls looked at each other and left the room to go and watch the fight. They ran as fast as they could while trying to make sure no a one of them got lost.
The girls were running when they were stopped by Saitou. He looked at all three of them "I thought you three were captured. Why are you three not the Makato Shishio?" They all looked at him and Kaoru said "we were taken to another room because Ken. . .I mean Battousai could not fight to his full potential with us there." Saitou just looked at the three "Where is the room where the fight is going on?" "That is where we are going right now." Kaoru said walking past him followed by Fantasia and Kamilia. Saitou looked at the three girls and thought to himself 'them three girls aren't worth my time. Once I defeat the Battousai in battle those three will learn to obey my command.'
Saitou followed the three girls to where they were going. Fantasia was tired of Saitou following them so she turned around "can't you find this room on your own? I didn't figure you need a bunch of girls to help you find it." Saitou looked at her "your right I don't need you three helping me find it." With that said Saitou walked past them leaving the three girls behind. Kaoru and Kamilia looked at Fantasia and both said "can he really find the room on his own?" "Yes he can that is why I said that so he would leave." "Oh. . . . Ok." Fantasia looked at them both and just smiled a little.
Kaoru looked at her and seen that she was a lot like Kenshin. She seemed to also almost always have an expressionless face that no one could tell how she was feeling at the time. "Fantasia how do you stay so brave during hard times like these?" Fantasia looked at her and smiled "I'm not. I am scared just as much as you and Kamilia are, but I don't like to let people know I am scared. Because that is when people take advantage of you." Kaoru realized then that Fantasia had been taken advantage of once. Kaoru smiled at her "Fantasia even though we are all scared. You are still one of the bravest people I know." Fantasia smiled back "Thank you."
Kamilia smiled at both of them "Yeah Fantasia you are also one of the bravest people I know." Fantasia at that moment all she could was smile and she walked over and hugged both of them. Kaoru during the hug all she could do was think about her own problem and her plan to get rid of the problem for Kenshin. Fantasia knew something was wrong but she was waiting until Kaoru said something about it before she tried to help.
All three of them decided it was time they get back to the room and help Kenshin stop Shishio. Meanwhile Shishio and Battousai were walking to the actual arena where they would be fighting. Battousai looked at Shishio's back as they walked "where are we actually going Shishio." "Don't worry Battousai. We will be there soon." Battousai just smirked and followed along. They finally made it to a huge door. Shishio opened it and walked in it followed by Battousai, Yumi, and Houji. Battousai looked around and said all I see are stairs.
Shishio looked at him "yes I know the stairs lead to the place we are fighting. Shishio started walking up the stairs still followed by Battousai, Yumi, and Houji. They walked for what seemed like an hour to Battousai until finally they came to another door. Shishio opened it showing a long walkway. They walked down the walk way to another door. Shishio opened the other door showing the arena at which they were to fight.
All four of them walked in and the doors were closed by Houji. Shishio followed by Yumi and Houji walked to his side of the arena. He turned to Battousai and said "No one can come in now unless they break the door down." "Good then this fight shouldn't be interrupted." Battousai and Shishio both stared at each other and in that time Battousai thought about all the people he cared for and why he needed to win this.
After their little staring match the fight began. Meanwhile Saitou and the three girls were looking for the room and where Kenshin could be. "Here it is!" Fantasia screamed to Kaoru and Kamilia. All three of them enter the room to find only Saitou standing there. "Well look who it is. Our old friend Saitou." Saitou looked at her when Fantasia said that and said "So you three finally made it and they aren't here." Fantasia, Kaoru, and Kamilia looked at him and they said "what do you mean? Where could they be?" "I don't know but I have a feeling that Shishio knew you three would come back to help so he moved the fight to a different room."
"Well then we just have to find the other room and carry out our plan there." Kamilia and Kaoru both shook their heads in agreement. Saitou just looked at the three girls and said "good luck but I doubt you three will be the ones to find it." "Please you give us little credit." Fantasia said closing her eyes at that point. Kamilia, Saitou, and Kaoru watched her as she looked like she decided to take a nap standing there. Fantasia tried first to find Battousai's KI but had no luck. So she decided the best way to find him was to look through his eyes.
The only way to do that was to get a telepathic connection but she didn't think she could do it but she knew someone who could. That was Kaoru she knew Kaoru would be able to for the fact that her and Kenshin were mates. Fantasia opened her eyes and looked over to Kaoru "Kaoru I need you to talk to Kenshin I need you to get him to show you where he is." "B-b-b-but he will know we are coming. What am I suppose to say?" "Tell him you just want to make sure he is safe."
"Ok I will try it." Kaoru stood there and closed her eyes she figured it was better than watching everyone stare at her. 'Kenshin can you hear me! Kenshin!' 'Yes Kaoru I can hear you. What is it?' 'Kenshin where are you? We are all so worried about you!' 'Kaoru you have nothing to worry about. Shishio took me to another room as to where you and the others couldn't be hurt. You can take a look for your self.' Kaoru realized it was a good thing she closed her eyes she could see perfectly where Kenshin and Shishio was. 'Now don't worry anymore about me I will be back to you soon' 'Ok Kenshin I love you.' 'I love you too.'
Kaoru opened her eyes showing everyone she was through talking to Kenshin. Fantasia said "So where is he at? Well better yet what did the place that he was at look like?" "He was in a giant arena." "That means Shishio has a giant arena hidden somewhere close to this room. We just have to look for it." They all agreed even Saitou to find the hidden arena. Fantasia and Kaoru went one way and Kamilia and Saitou another to look for the room that lead to the hidden arena. Meanwhile Kenshin and Shishio were still in their fight. Kenshin knew that Fantasia had told Kaoru what to do and he knew that it meant they were coming to help.
He was glad they had no idea where the arena was. He also was glad that it was very well hidden. The only person who might find it would be Fantasia. Her or Saitou and he wouldn't mind too much Saitou. Shishio and Kenshin were evenly match in this fight but Shishio had a few tricks up his sleeve. "Battousai I will make a deal with you." "What kind of deal?" "You lose the fight let me kill you and I won't harm you mate or your family at all." "I don't think so." "Fine your choice now you will die and I will torture you mate and your family." Meanwhile Yumi watched her watch to see how much longer the fight would last she was becoming a little worried.
Meanwhile back down stairs Fantasia and Kaoru had found the room with the hidden stair case and had already gone back and told Saitou and Kamilia where it was. Now all four were heading up the stairs to watch the fight of the century. "How many stairs are there? We have already ran up at least a hundred so far." "We are almost there I think." They finally made up the stairs to the first door. They opened it to reveal more stairs. "What is this? Did he think someone was going to come in and go for his arena when he built it?" "I don't know but I don't think I can climb anymore stairs." "Yes you can Kamilia and you will." "Fine Fantasia but if I die from climbing stairs my spirit will come back to haunt you."
"I bet it will." They started up the next set of stairs hoping they would make it there on time. Back in the arena both Kenshin and Shishio had felt the coming KI's and Kenshin knew whose they were. "Well well well looks like those three don't know when to give up. It also looks like they brought a friend." Kenshin just looked at Shishio 'No Kaoru stay away you will get hurt.' "Battousai you looked worried. I told you no one can get in here unless they break down the door and I don't think any of them three little girls can break that door down." "You don't know Fantasia she will do anything to get to the place she is going." "I am not worried I am sure she can't get in here." "Yes she can't but Saitou can."
About that time all four of them had finally made it to the arena and Saitou busted through the door causing Kenshin and Shishio to stop their fight. Fantasia, Kamilia, and Kaoru appeared behind him. "Well well well looks like those three don't know when to stay away." Kenshin looked at them "Kaoru you shouldn't be here. Same goes for you two too Fantasia and Kamilia." "You are not my father and you can't tell me where I should go and stay!" "Fantasia I am trying to protect! Why won't you just let me protect you?"
"Because Kenshin I don't always need your protection! I can take care of myself!" "There is not talking to you." "Yeah your right there isn't." Everyone watch the two family members fight. They finally stopped arguing with each other. Shishio smirked "Battousai you can't even keep your loyal subjects in line." "We are not subjects. We are his friends and family! We have our own minds and our own opinions and we think for ourselves! Kenshin does not do the thinking for us! We do it ourselves that is our brains are for!"
"Well she is a little fireball isn't she." Kenshin just shook his head. "You better believe I am and I won't stand for you or anyone else to tell me what to do!" Fantasia said getting everything off her chest. Kamilia and Kaoru both smiled at her and agreed with what she had said was true. Kenshin knew what she said was right and he wasn't going to correct her for her opinion and for telling the truth. Shishio soon realized this and decided it was time once and for all to finish this fight.
Shishio attack Battousai while he was turned looking at Fantasia. "Die Battousai!" Kenshin turned around just as he attacked. "NO! Kenshin!" Fantasia and Kaoru both said. They both went to stop Shishio but it was to late. Shishio stabbed Kamilia right through the heart. Fantasia and Kaoru both looked at her. They both ran up to her. "No Kamilia no no! You can't die on me too! I have already lost too many people I care about to lose one more! You can't leave me!"
Kamilia smiled at her sister "don't worry Fantasia I will survive this just you wait and see but Shishioi will not I know this much." Fantasia looked at her sister and realized that she knew what was going to happen which also meant she knew what was happening next. Fantasia smiled "you finally used one of your powers." "Yeah I did. I wanted to see how brave you would be during this fight. I realized that you are always brave even when you’re scared. That is why I looked up to you as we were growing up." "Kamilia."
Fantasia started to cry again. "Please don't cry Fantasia I will be fine. Remember we have our father's blood running in us." "That is right your blood will heal you and you will be fine." "Yeah I will. I will be stronger than our father was because I have something I have to live for. I want to be with Soujiro and I will stay alive to do that." Shishio looked at her when she said that. "What? What do you mean you want to be with Soujiro?" Fantasia and Kamilia both looked at Shishio when he said that.
"Soujiro is a loyal servant to me he would never fall in love with you. You are my enemy and Soujiro my loyal companion forever." "I don't think so." Everyone turned their heads to see Soujiro standing at the door and right behind him was Sanosuke, Yahiko, Aoshi, Misao, Megumi. "I care for Kamilia and it is more than just a friendship we have a bond that can never be broken because we have both waited this long to see each other and I am not letting her go yet."
Fantasia and Kaoru smiled when they heard this and Misao came running over to them. She started to hug Kaoru and then Kaoru realized something about her. Misao was not human anymore she was a vampire like Kaoru was now. Kaoru just smiled and kept hugging her friend. All the other vampires of the mansion were also there and they were ready to get their revenge on Shishio for killing their families and friends.
But they decided to let Battousai handle it because he was the strongest of them. Shishio was now out numbered for the rest of his forces were killed by the vampires standing right before him. Shishio looked at Battousai and then down at the girl "well Battousai I see you need a little girl to save your life for you." "No he doesn't! I choose to risk my life for him! Because he is my family and he is a part of the only family I have left and no matter how much I dislike him I just don't want him to go!"
Shishio started to laugh "Really how caring of you little girl but you and everyone of these vampires should know their place." "We do know our place. It is standing up for ourselves and backing Kenshin one hundred percent." Fantasia said causing Shishio to become more angered. "Really well you shall be the first to die when I am King of this world." "You will never be king of this world or any other world." Battousai said ready to end this fight.
Battousai turned to Kaoru "Please Kaoru leave this fight I don't want you to see it. Please do it for me. Same goes for the rest of you." "But Ken. . . " "Please Kaoru just do it for me." Kaoru just shook her head. She walked out with the rest following her. Everyone was gone except Fantasia, Kamilia, and Soujiro. Battousai looked at them "Why did you three leave like I said?" "Because we can think for ourselves and I promised myself something the day my parents died." "What is that?" "I would not lose another family member no matter what the cause is."
Kenshin smiled and said "Don't worry Fantasia I will be fine just, please leave the fight. I will come out alive trust me on this." "Okay but if you don't when I do end up dying my soul will beat your soul up." Battousai chuckled "Okay Fantasia I promise not to die if I don't want to feel the power of Fantasia." Fantasia laughed and turned around and walked off followed by Kamilia and Soujiro.
Shishio watch the Battousai watch them leave. Battousai turned back to Shishio "let's finish this." "My thoughts exactly." The fight was on again. During the entire fight Battousai fought about all the people he cared about and who he had to live for. Shishio on the other hand thought of nothing more than the power he would gain after killing Battousai. Meanwhile, the others waited for the fight to end. Fantasia had fallen asleep on Hiko's shoulder while Fortello glared daggers at Hiko for being right next to his dear precious sister.
Kamilia also was asleep. Soujiro watched over while make sure he wasn't getting glared daggers at by her brother. Misao and Kaoru sat together and waited for Kenshin to return to her. Kaoru worried the most for him and she hoped he was safe.

Okay there is the end of Chapter 13 I know I figured I would finish my fanfiction in this chapter but I wanted to do one more before I end it. Thank you to everyone who reviewed it. I hope that you like this chapter as well and will continue to read my fanfiction even though there is only going to be one more chapter of it left then everyone who read it should read the sequel to it. The sequel will be called Darkness Overcoming the Light.
Yes I am sorry there is not a lot of action in this chapter the fight scene happens in the next chapter well the real fight scene happens in the next chapter. You find out in that chapter who comes out as the victor which shouldn't be to hard to figure out lol. Anyways I am sorry for any spelling errors that maybe in here. I tried to get them all out. I am also sorry for any grammar errors that maybe in here I also tried to get all of them out.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~
Preview of Chapter 14: Kaoru a lot about Kenshin but she knew worrying would not help her condition one bit. Actually none of this was helping her condition one bit. But this time to think did make her decide it was time she told Kenshin that . . . . .
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~
Another cliff hanger for a preview but I will try to get it up as soon as possible. I am sorry it took so long for me to finish this chapter I have been having a lot of problems with my computer and then I have a big huge test coming up this week that I am trying to get ready for so I haven't had much time to work on it. But I hope everyone likes it and will read the next chapter and review it.
Thanks again for the people who liked my fanfiction and continue to read it and I hope that you will continue to read my fanfictions when I get the sequel up and the prequel I guess you can say it is. The prequel is called How the Light Was Overcome by Darkness. I hope that you will read both of them once I am through with the first chapters of them. Also I am not sure but I think this is one of my longest chapters in this fanfiction yay for me lol.

I didn't figure you need a bunch of girls to help you find it." Saitou looked at her "your right I don't need you three helping me find it." With that said Saitou walked past them leaving the three girls behind. Kaoru and Kamilia looked at Fantasia and both said "can he really find the room on his own?" "Yes he can that is why I said that so he would leave." "Oh. . . . Ok." Fantasia looked at them both and just smiled a little.
Kaoru looked at her and seen that she was a lot like Kenshin. She seemed to also almost always have an expressionless face that no one could tell how she was feeling at the time. "Fantasia how do you stay so brave during hard times like these?" Fantasia looked at her and smiled "I'm not. I am scared just as much as you and Kamilia are, but I don't like to let people know I am scared. Because that is when people take advantage of you." Kaoru realized then that Fantasia had been taken advantage of once. Kaoru smiled at her "Fantasia even though we are all scared. You are still one of the bravest people I know." Fantasia smiled back "Thank you."
Kamilia smiled at both of them "Yeah Fantasia you are also one of the bravest people I know." Fantasia at that moment all she could was smile and she walked over and hugged both of them. Kaoru during the hug all she could do was think about her own problem and her plan to get rid of the problem for Kenshin. Fantasia knew something was wrong but she was waiting until Kaoru said something about it before she tried to help.
All three of them decided it was time they get back to the room and help Kenshin stop Shishio. Meanwhile Shishio and Battousai were walking to the actual arena where they would be fighting. Battousai looked at Shishio's back as they walked "where are we actually going Shishio." "Don't worry Battousai. We will be there soon." Battousai just smirked and followed along. They finally made it to a huge door. Shishio opened it and walked in it followed by Battousai, Yumi, and Houji. Battousai looked around and said all I see are stairs.
Shishio looked at him "yes I know the stairs lead to the place we are fighting. Shishio started walking up the stairs still followed by Battousai, Yumi, and Houji. They walked for what seemed like an hour to Battousai until finally they came to another door. Shishio opened it showing a long walkway. They walked down the walk way to another door. Shishio opened the other door showing the arena at which they were to fight.
All four of them walked in and the doors were closed by Houji. Shishio followed by Yumi and Houji walked to his side of the arena. He turned to Battousai and said "No one can come in now unless they break the door down." "Good then this fight shouldn't be interrupted." Battousai and Shishio both stared at each other and in that time Battousai thought about all the people he cared for and why he needed to win this.
After their little staring match the fight began. Meanwhile Saitou and the three girls were looking for the room and where Kenshin could be. "Here it is!" Fantasia screamed to Kaoru and Kamilia. All three of them enter the room to find only Saitou standing there. "Well look who it is. Our old friend Saitou." Saitou looked at her when Fantasia said that and said "So you three finally made it and they aren't here." Fantasia, Kaoru, and Kamilia looked at him and they said "what do you mean? Where could they be?" "I don't know but I have a feeling that Shishio knew you three would come back to help so he moved the fight to a different room."
"Well then we just have to find the other room and carry out our plan there." Kamilia and Kaoru both shook their heads in agreement. Saitou just looked at the three girls and said "good luck but I doubt you three will be the ones to find it." "Please you give us little credit." Fantasia said closing her eyes at that point. Kamilia, Saitou, and Kaoru watched her as she looked like she decided to take a nap standing there. Fantasia tried first to find Battousai's KI but had no luck. So she decided the best way to find him was to look through his eyes.
The only way to do that was to get a telepathic connection but she didn't think she could do it but she knew someone who could. That was Kaoru she knew Kaoru would be able to for the fact that her and Kenshin were mates. Fantasia opened her eyes and looked over to Kaoru "Kaoru I need you to talk to Kenshin I need you to get him to show you where he is." "B-b-b-but he will know we are coming. What am I suppose to say?" "Tell him you just want to make sure he is safe."
"Ok I will try it." Kaoru stood there and closed her eyes she figured it was better than watching everyone stare at her. 'Kenshin can you hear me! Kenshin!' 'Yes Kaoru I can hear you. What is it?' 'Kenshin where are you? We are all so worried about you!' 'Kaoru you have nothing to worry about. Shishio took me to another room as to where you and the others couldn't be hurt. You can take a look for your self.' Kaoru realized it was a good thing she closed her eyes she could see perfectly where Kenshin and Shishio was. 'Now don't worry anymore about me I will be back to you soon' 'Ok Kenshin I love you.' 'I love you too.'
Kaoru opened her eyes showing everyone she was through talking to Kenshin. Fantasia said "So where is he at? Well better yet what did the place that he was at look like?" "He was in a giant arena." "That means Shishio has a giant arena hidden somewhere close to this room. We just have to look for it." They all agreed even Saitou to find the hidden arena. Fantasia and Kaoru went one way and Kamilia and Saitou another to look for the room that lead to the hidden arena. Meanwhile Kenshin and Shishio were still in their fight. Kenshin knew that Fantasia had told Kaoru what to do and he knew that it meant they were coming to help.
He was glad they had no idea where the arena was. He also was glad that it was very well hidden. The only person who might find it would be Fantasia. Her or Saitou and he wouldn't mind too much Saitou. Shishio and Kenshin were evenly match in this fight but Shishio had a few tricks up his sleeve. "Battousai I will make a deal with you." "What kind of deal?" "You lose the fight let me kill you and I won't harm you mate or your family at all." "I don't think so." "Fine your choice now you will die and I will torture you mate and your family." Meanwhile Yumi watched her watch to see how much longer the fight would last she was becoming a little worried.
Meanwhile back down stairs Fantasia and Kaoru had found the room with the hidden stair case and had already gone back and told Saitou and Kamilia where it was. Now all four were heading up the stairs to watch the fight of the century. "How many stairs are there? We have already ran up at least a hundred so far." "We are almost there I think." They finally made up the stairs to the first door. They opened it to reveal more stairs. "What is this? Did he think someone was going to come in and go for his arena when he built it?" "I don't know but I don't think I can climb anymore stairs." "Yes you can Kamilia and you will." "Fine Fantasia but if I die from climbing stairs my spirit will come back to haunt you."
"I bet it will." They started up the next set of stairs hoping they would make it there on time. Back in the arena both Kenshin and Shishio had felt the coming KI's and Kenshin knew whose they were. "Well well well looks like those three don't know when to give up. It also looks like they brought a friend." Kenshin just looked at Shishio 'No Kaoru stay away you will get hurt.' "Battousai you looked worried. I told you no one can get in here unless they break down the door and I don't think any of them three little girls can break that door down." "You don't know Fantasia she will do anything to get to the place she is going." "I am not worried I am sure she can't get in here." "Yes she can't but Saitou can."
About that time all four of them had finally made it to the arena and Saitou busted through the door causing Kenshin and Shishio to stop their fight. Fantasia, Kamilia, and Kaoru appeared behind him. "Well well well looks like those three don't know when to stay away." Kenshin looked at them "Kaoru you shouldn't be here. Same goes for you two too Fantasia and Kamilia." "You are not my father and you can't tell me where I should go and stay!" "Fantasia I am trying to protect! Why won't you just let me protect you?"
"Because Kenshin I don't always need your protection! I can take care of myself!" "There is not talking to you." "Yeah your right there isn't." Everyone watch the two family members fight. They finally stopped arguing with each other. Shishio smirked "Battousai you can't even keep your loyal subjects in line." "We are not subjects. We are his friends and family! We have our own minds and our own opinions and we think for ourselves! Kenshin does not do the thinking for us! We do it ourselves that is our brains are for!"
"Well she is a little fireball isn't she." Kenshin just shook his head. "You better believe I am and I won't stand for you or anyone else to tell me what to do!" Fantasia said getting everything off her chest. Kamilia and Kaoru both smiled at her and agreed with what she had said was true. Kenshin knew what she said was right and he wasn't going to correct her for her opinion and for telling the truth. Shishio soon realized this and decided it was time once and for all to finish this fight.
Shishio attack Battousai while he was turned looking at Fantasia. "Die Battousai!" Kenshin turned around just as he attacked. "NO! Kenshin!" Fantasia and Kaoru both said. They both went to stop Shishio but it was to late. Shishio stabbed Kamilia right through the heart. Fantasia and Kaoru both looked at her. They both ran up to her. "No Kamilia no no! You can't die on me too! I have already lost too many people I care about to lose one more! You can't leave me!"
Kamilia smiled at her sister "don't worry Fantasia I will survive this just you wait and see but Shishioi will not I know this much." Fantasia looked at her sister and realized that she knew what was going to happen which also meant she knew what was happening next. Fantasia smiled "you finally used one of your powers." "Yeah I did. I wanted to see how brave you would be during this fight. I realized that you are always brave even when you’re scared. That is why I looked up to you as we were growing up." "Kamilia."
Fantasia started to cry again. "Please don't cry Fantasia I will be fine. Remember we have our father's blood running in us." "That is right your blood will heal you and you will be fine." "Yeah I will. I will be stronger than our father was because I have something I have to live for. I want to be with Soujiro and I will stay alive to do that." Shishio looked at her when she said that. "What? What do you mean you want to be with Soujiro?" Fantasia and Kamilia both looked at Shishio when he said that.
"Soujiro is a loyal servant to me he would never fall in love with you. You are my enemy and Soujiro my loyal companion forever." "I don't think so." Everyone turned their heads to see Soujiro standing at the door and right behind him was Sanosuke, Yahiko, Aoshi, Misao, Megumi. "I care for Kamilia and it is more than just a friendship we have a bond that can never be broken because we have both waited this long to see each other and I am not letting her go yet."
Fantasia and Kaoru smiled when they heard this and Misao came running over to them. She started to hug Kaoru and then Kaoru realized something about her. Misao was not human anymore she was a vampire like Kaoru was now. Kaoru just smiled and kept hugging her friend. All the other vampires of the mansion were also there and they were ready to get their revenge on Shishio for killing their families and friends.
But they decided to let Battousai handle it because he was the strongest of them. Shishio was now out numbered for the rest of his forces were killed by the vampires standing right before him. Shishio looked at Battousai and then down at the girl "well Battousai I see you need a little girl to save your life for you." "No he doesn't! I choose to risk my life for him! Because he is my family and he is a part of the only family I have left and no matter how much I dislike him I just don't want him to go!"
Shishio started to laugh "Really how caring of you little girl but you and everyone of these vampires should know their place." "We do know our place. It is standing up for ourselves and backing Kenshin one hundred percent." Fantasia said causing Shishio to become more angered. "Really well you shall be the first to die when I am King of this world." "You will never be king of this world or any other world." Battousai said ready to end this fight.
Battousai turned to Kaoru "Please Kaoru leave this fight I don't want you to see it. Please do it for me. Same goes for the rest of you." "But Ken. . . " "Please Kaoru just do it for me." Kaoru just shook her head. She walked out with the rest following her. Everyone was gone except Fantasia, Kamilia, and Soujiro. Battousai looked at them "Why did you three leave like I said?" "Because we can think for ourselves and I promised myself something the day my parents died." "What is that?" "I would not lose another family member no matter what the cause is."
Kenshin smiled and said "Don't worry Fantasia I will be fine just, please leave the fight. I will come out alive trust me on this." "Okay but if you don't when I do end up dying my soul will beat your soul up." Battousai chuckled "Okay Fantasia I promise not to die if I don't want to feel the power of Fantasia." Fantasia laughed and turned around and walked off followed by Kamilia and Soujiro.
Shishio watch the Battousai watch them leave. Battousai turned back to Shishio "let's finish this." "My thoughts exactly." The fight was on again. During the entire fight Battousai fought about all the people he cared about and who he had to live for. Shishio on the other hand thought of nothing more than the power he would gain after killing Battousai. Meanwhile, the others waited for the fight to end. Fantasia had fallen asleep on Hiko's shoulder while Fortello glared daggers at Hiko for being right next to his dear precious sister.
Kamilia also was asleep. Soujiro watched over while make sure he wasn't getting glared daggers at by her brother. Misao and Kaoru sat together and waited for Kenshin to return to her. Kaoru worried the most for him and she hoped he was safe.
