This is my first Rurouni Kenshin fan fiction, so bear with me. Yes,
it is a reincarnation fiction, and it's B/KA/MM/S. Please review, I write
better with support!
I don't own RK, but I want to. AN: People call the Battousai, Kenshin.
But he really is Battousai.
Battousai sat at the breakfast table, drinking coffee. Today was his first day teaching at any school. Though he was the kendo teacher, it would be an easy job for the best assassin ever to live in Japan. He wasn't doing this for the money—oh no, it was for a different reason, and her name was Kaoru.
In the Meji era, he suffered through a lifetime with Kaoru, and he never got to talk to her, not even once. It took him a few years after his other half met her, to realize that he loved Kaoru, just as much, or maybe more, than the Rurouni. But Kenshin had his lifetime with Kaoru, now it was Battousai's turn. Ever since he was 15, these memories flashed in his head. He knew then that his name wasn't Shinta (yeah yeah, I know, I ran out of name ideas) as his parents named him, but he was, and would always be, THE Battousai that stalked ancient Japan. And everyone knew that Battousai ALWAYS got what he wanted, and he wanted Kaoru.
"I'm going to give Kaoru a kendo lesson she'll never forget." Battousai mused as he left his house and drove to school.
Kaoru awoke to the sound of the alarm clock buzzing in her ear. Today was her first day of school; needless to say she was less than psyched. The only thing she was looking forward to was the new Kendo teacher. He was said to be really good and very fast. Not that she cared though; the teachers were always changing with Kaoru in the class. She often beat them so badly they left in shame. You must take into account that Kaoru has been living at a dojo all her life, and Kendo was as easy as breathing to her.
"Another day, another kendo teacher gone," Kaoru mumbled as she dragged herself out of bed. After getting dressed in her uniform, she sprinted down stairs to the kitchen, where she grabbed some toast. Kaoru took a deep breath and began to jog towards school. Running was harder than taking the train, but it was good training, and Kaoru knew that.
When Kaoru arrived at school her friends, Misao and Megumi, were talking about the new teacher, Kenshin Himura.
"Oh my god, Kaoru, you have to see him," Misao told her while giggling.
"I have to agree, Kaoru, he is hot," Megumi added.
"And his hair—"
"—oh, yes, his hair."
"It's long and—
"—red."
Kaoru just looked at her friends, who were finishing each others' sentences and giggling madly. "Oh, come on guys, he can't be THAT good looking," Kaoru told her friends, not believing. By the look of shock on her friends' faces, she knew that they did believe him to be that hot. "Well, this Himura fellow won't be around long, not when I get through with him." Kaoru walked to her locker and got her things for her first class, when a feeling of déjà vu came over her.
"Kenshin Himura," she thought. "I've heard that name before, somewhere." Suddenly, another name popped into her head. "Battousai." She just shrugged the feeling off as a side affect of her eagerness to beat this teacher's ass into the ground.
The rest of the day inched by for both Kaoru and Battousai. They were both eager to whip each others' butts in a kendo match. Kaoru was prepared; she had to win to protect the honor of her dojo. Kenshin had to win to get Kaoru interested in him, and protect his manly ego.
On her way to Science class, Kaoru had to pass the Kendo room. While passing, she looked in the room, and stopped dead in her tracks. There, practicing Kendo with a couple of freshmen, was the hottest guy she had ever seen. Not only that, she had seen him before. He had flame-red hair pulled into a high ponytail, purple eyes (He's masking the Battousai-ness in his eyes) and looked to be about 24. (AN: He's young for the story's sake) In her dreams, she saw him. He haunted her dreams. She blocked the idea out. Kaoru almost dropped all her books; he had great fighting form, perfectly balanced.
"This cannot be the new teacher." Kaoru hoped desperately. "He's hot, he's young, and he looks like he can whip my ass," though she knew that this was indeed Kenshin Himura. Suddenly, he looked over at her and gave her this dead-sexy smirk. Her jaw dropped about a foot, and she blushed bright red. Due to this hold up, she was late for class and got in deep trouble.
At lunch, Kaoru admitted that she had seen Mr. Himura. In a flash her friends were prompting her on what she thought about him.
"So, Kaoru—"asked Megumi.
"—do you think he's hot?" finished Misao.
Kaoru blushed. "That's the understatement of the century, Misao. He's not just hot, he's dead sexy," she told her friends.
"We told you so, Kaoru." Megumi chided. "He sure beats Rooster Head here." she said, jerking a thumb at Sanosuke who just sat down at their lunch table with Aioshi in tow.
"Hey Misao," Kaoru asked in a singsong voice, "Does he beat Aisohi?"
Misao just blushed and mumbled something about Kaoru being a jerk.
"All joking aside, guys," Kaoru started, "I don't think I can win against this one." "I saw his form, it was excellent." All of her friends nodded in understanding; they all practiced forms of kendo. All except Megumi, who was training to be a doctor. Kaoru repeatedly bashed her head into the desk. "The reputation of my dojo will be ruined." she whined.
Now her friends were getting a little bit afraid. Kaoru never doubted her skills. She was always ready to jump into a situation and beat the offender into a bloody pulp in the name of the Kamiya dojo. Seeing their friend smashing her head into the lunch table because she thought the new teacher, no matter how hot he was, could open up a can of whoopass on her.
Suddenly, with a change of heart only a PMSing girl could have, she sat straight up. "I can't let him beat me even before we fight. I WILL WIN!" Kaoru was now on a "Win or die" streak. She then dashed off to the kendo room, no one was there, to practice stretches and moves.
The rest of the day flew by as their after school kendo class was approaching. When all their classes were over, Kaoru and all her friends, except Megumi, went to the locker rooms to change for kendo practice. They all had assigned black and white gis which they put on and trooped upstairs to the kendo room. As soon as Kaoru entere, Battousai gave a little smirk.
"Class." Battousai started. "I am Kenshin Himura, your new kendo teacher. Today, I have decided to have a sparring match with Miss. Kamiya." When Kaoru went to get her bokken, he just shook his head and said. "Kaoru," with a sigh, startling everyone, he used her FIRST name, "We will be using Sakabatous (Sp?) to fight matches, and bokkens for practice."
Kaoru was slightly startled by this, but she said nothing, and accepted the Sakabatou given to her. It weighed only a little bit more than her bokken. After both opponents had done stretches, Battousai singled for the beginning of the match.
He immediately skipped backward from the attack he knew Kaoru was going to start with. That's how she usually beat her opponents, she took them by surprise by attacking immediately. Kaoru was shocked. Her attack met thin air and then she barely dodged Battousai's attack.
They split up and circled. Usually on an opponent, Kaoru could see which way they were going to move next. Unfortunately, Battousai's movements weren't shown in his muscles. Battousai wasn't having this problem though. He was just trying not to hurt her too badly if he struck. After timing his move perfectly, he struck out with his sword. It came up to rest lightly against Kaoru's throat.
Battousai drew his sword away and walked to put it away. Kaoru was dazed. As he passed, he drawled "Very well fought Koishii" (Koishii means something like darling, or so I am told)
Her knees became weak, literally. She fell to her knees, still dazed. How could she loose so fast? And what he had called her, 'Koishii' it brought chills up her spine. Good chills though, she felt as if she had been called that before by him, or someone like him.
"That's silly." she thought. "If I had met him before, I would remember."
After her defeat, Kaoru decided to take the rest of the class to meditate. Her friends and enemies alike left her to think about her defeat. Battousai took on other opponents as well. He defeated Aioshi, Misao with her kunai, and Sano with his Zanbattou (Sp?)
All through class Battousai could tell through his Ki sensing that Kaoru was not meditating, but trying to remember where she had seen him before and why she had lost.
"Good," he thought. "I want her to remember me soon."
On their way home, Kaoru and Misao talked a lot about Mr. Himura.
"He really was a good opponent, he deserved to win." Kaoru told the smaller girl.
"Yeah, he dodged my kunai so easily. It was like they weren't there at all." Misao put in. Then it was when Kaoru realized that she had left her bokken at the school kendo room.
"Shit!" she shouted. "Hey, Misao, you'd better go home alone. I left my bokken back al school. See you tomorrow." Kaoru called over her shoulder as she ran off towards the school .
She arrived at school out of breath from sprinting. Kaoru mumbled a string of curses under her breath as she climbed the stairs to the kendo room. When she got to the door way, she stopped dead in her tracks. Battousai was there, and he was shirtless, with only his white pants on. He was practicing moves Kaoru had never seen before, let alone heard of. He would dive into the air and do an attack straight down.
Battousai landed after his attack on the practice dummy, completely obliterating it. It was only then did he notice Kaoru. Or, more to the point, he sensed her Ki in the doorway. She had been watching the entire time, he guessed. If he wasn't fighting, he would have sensed her right off the bat.
When Battousai began to turn around, Kaoru sprinted away down the hall. She'd be in so much trouble if she was caught. Kaoru knew what she had seen was never meant to be seen by anyone unless they were going to die by it. Suddenly, a shape just seemed to appear out of no where.
"Mr. Himura." she sputtered.
"Oh no, Koishii, you have been a very bad girl. You have seen the Hiten Mitsurugi's deadliest attack." He drawled as he fingered her hair. "No one has seen it since the Meji era." He slowly began to circle around her. "And I do wish you'd stop calling me Himura. You know I'm not that blundering rurouni idiot that you use to know." He stopped pacing, and lifted up her chin, causing her to stare into his bright gold eyes. "Now, what is my name Koishii?" he asked in dead sexy voice.
"B...Battousai." she stuttered.
"Very good. Now, do you remember me?" he asked.
Kaoru was pummeled with images of the revolution, and of Kenshin. (SPOILER ALERT! SPOILER ALERT!)Kenshin Himura had been her husband, he was the father of their son, Kenji. He had left and gone to war again. And, when he returned, it had been with an awful disease (Leprosy I think) He died in her arms. (END ALERT) Kaoru had remembered what she had done then. She had no life without Kenshin, she took his Sakabatou, reversed the blade, and fell onto the point. (This never happened, I just thought it'd be sweet)
Kaoru came out of her memories to find herself on the floor. Her tears started flowing again, tears that hadn't been shed for two hundred years.
"KENSHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!" Kaoru screamed and threw herself completely on the floor.
Whew. Sorry about the spoilers. But, if you haven't seen then ending OAV you need to. Reflections made me cry so hard. If you've seen it, you know what I mean. Hell, I was practically bawling as I wrote the above spoiler. Well, I will update soon. Please review. Here look, I have arrows for you.
