"I will," Katara laughed nervously. She walked to face Kenshin and put her hand on his shoulder.
"It's okay. There are some things we can't control," she said comfortingly. She turned and started to pack her bag. "Should we get the company together and set out soon?" she asked.

"I can controll my own actions. My my village was attacked all I did was fight my way out and ran. I could of fought more then I did, I could of grabbed others to bring with me. That's all I've been doing was running. Everybody else has been fighting and I've been running. How can a coward be a good leader?" Kenshin sits down. "Can you get everybody else while I try to collect myself before we go?"

"Okay, just don;t do anything drastic," Katara said as she left the room. She went from room to room, waking up Kyo, Ryan, and Kc and telling them to get ready. Today would be hard.

Kenshin waited a few moments after Katara left. He quickly grabbed his things and wrote a quick note and folded it in half and addressed it to Katara. The note said:
Katara, I know you told me not to do anything too drastic, you should of probly seen this comeing anyways. But I cannot travel with you guys any more. I might make another mistake and somebody else will pay the price. I know you wanted to be by my side to help me with this fight but I cannot allow anybody to die instead of me, it's time for me to take a risk that could only harm me. Again I'm sorry for leaveing like this. Good luck and hope to see you again, Kenshin.
Kenshin poked his head out the door and looked both ways. He saw nobody so he headed towards the door and out the ship. After he made his way back to the sand he looked at the compass to figure what direction he needed to go. He then put the compass back in his back next to the journal "Good thing I'll have something to do when I need to pass some time." he said as he started his jog to gain some distance from everybody.

His job quickly turned into a full sprint. Not looking back to see if they are following, he knew they would try to yell to get him to notice them to slow down. After running long enough he knew they couldn't catch up as quick as they would like. He sat down for a minute to rest his legs. "I hate running in this sand, I hate how I just left he-them like that. When I meet up with them I hope they'll understand why I did this."
After a few minutes he got back up and started to walk again.

Katara walked in the room with a platter of food in her hand. She smiled and said, "Kenshin, I brought you some--" she stopped when she saw him gone and a note fluttering on the table.
She quickly read the note. "Oh no, oh no!" she siad running to the window, she screamed "KENSHIN!" over and over again to the desert air. When no answer came, she fell to her knees and cried. She cried just as she had when she lost her mother. Again, someone near and dear to her had left. A person she was really starting to like. Maybe even love.

Kenshin kept on walking towards the boarder."What if I run into more pirates like that again. Or I run into her again. Even worst I left Katara basicly on her own with people that wouldn't be much help if they tried. Kyo doesn't look like the type to get his hands dirty, KC is just a wuss who backs down too easily, then Ryan hasn't been doing much lately. Maybe it was a bad idea to leave them on their own."
Kenshin stopped for a minute looking back towards the ship. It was a tiny dot on the horizen now. He then started to keep going in the same direction. "Dang it, if I kept going I wouldn't know what these feelings means." Kenshin turned around and started to sprint as fast as he could towards the ship.

After running for a while non stop Kenshin got withing 50 feet of the ship and passed out from over working himself in this heat just to get back to the ship.

Katara wiped her eyes and stood up. I have to be a leader. Thats what he left me in the note. I must be strong and lead the others. She walked out the the deck of the boat to make sure everyone was getting ready. She saw something red lying in the sand. "What is that?" she asked, Ryan. The thing moved. It was Kenshin! "Oh My God!" she yelled. She slid down the ladder, ignoring the blazing rope burn, and ran to Kenshin's limp form. "He's exhausted... Water..." she said, getting her waterskin. She opened Kenshin's mouth and poured some in. She splashed the rest on his face, trying to wake him up.

After a several more minute Kenshin layed there limp. After a few more minutes Kenshin's eyes slowly opened. "What? Why is my face wet, don't tell me you wasted your water on me Katara."

"I'm sorry, I saw you, and you were... there's more water on baord, I'll refill it." Katara said nervously. She was still in an emotional state of shock, trying to sort out her feelings for Kenshin.

Kenshin stood up "Ok, one of these feelings is about Katara. But what is it? I guess it's time to find out... After this I need to talk to KC about why he really wants to come with us..." He then put his arms around Katara and brung her close to him and holding her. "Thank you so much for helping me out. I think I... Well I don't really know."

Katara smiled. "No problem, my lord," she said, embracing Kenshin. A tear fell from here eye. This one was different from the others, though. It was a tear of happiness.

Kenshin gave a little chuckle as she said 'my lord' "Please don't call me that, I don't feel like a lord at all." Kenshin was still holding onto Katara. "I don't know if I have feelings for her or not, it might be too early but I don't know."

"Should I get the others?" Katara asked. She wanted to help as much as she could. With all these new problems with the Heros, Kenshin must feel like he has the weight of the world on his shoulders. she thought. "I have to get something from the ship anyway," she added.
