Chapter 9 – Coming to Terms and Finding Closure

“…Kaoru.”

Kenshin could only sit there staring at the ghost of his wife who just smiled at him. Kenshin could feel tears slowing welling up in his eyes. He dare not blink in fear of her disappearing.

The young man slowly got up from his bed and slowly walked towards the ghost and stopped in front of her.

“…Koaru… Is that really you?” Kenshin asked with a shaky voice as tears streamed down his face.

“It is my love.” She replied as she pulled Kenshin into a tight hug as he finally broke down crying into the woman’s embrace.

“That’s right, let it all out.” She said as one of her hands rubbed his back in a comforting manner.

After ten minutes, Kenshin managed to finally calm down enough. He stayed there silently in the embrace for a few more minutes before he felt a hand gently lift his chin up to her face.

The young man simply didn’t know what to say, he stared at the ghost of his wife. She had a pale white glow that surrounded her body. Her hair was a deep shade of raven black and her skin was a pale yet beautiful shade of white.

The young man looked into his wife’s eyes.

“I see you’ve been doing well for yourself.” Koaru said with a smile as she looked Kenshin up and down.

“Nice outfit, I like it.” She said as she floated around her husband.

“T-Thank you… H-How are you here? How is this even possible when you’re-”

“Dead? Well that’s simple, I’m a ghost!” She said with a smile. Kenshin was speechless.

“I can’t stand to see you crying over me Kenshin.” She said with a sad expression on her face as she cupped his cheek.

“B-But I love you! How can I not be grieving over the loss of my wife!” Kenshin said.

“Kenshin, I love you with all of my heart. I know what you’re going through, I went through the same thing with you when you died.” Koaru explained sympathetically.

“I-I’m so sorry!” He said as he fell to his knees in with his tears beginning to resume.

“It’s ok Kenshin.” She said as she hugged the man again.

“H-How long did you-”

“Three years… I lived three more years after your death.” She said with a sad smile.

“I-I’m sorry, I didn’t know.” He said with a frown as he wiped the tears from his eyes.

“It’s alright Kenshin. But I have something important to tell you.” She said.

“What is it?” He asked.

“You need to move on. You need to go on living.” She said.

“What!”

“You cannot live everyday of your life grieving over me Kenshin. You need to live your life free and happy.” The woman said with a smile.

“How can I? Knowing that everything and everyone I knew is gone.” He said.

“I wouldn’t say that.” She said with a knowing smile.

“Besides, you still have Megumi.” She continued.

“How did you know about Megumi?” He asked.

“I’ve known for a while actually. When she was treating me she gained her memories back, her magic was still weak and it would take years after my death for it to completely comeback before she could go home. But during that time, she would tell me stories about Equestria as I lay in bed sick and even show me some of her magic tricks. It would always put a smile on my face.” Koaru said with a gentle smile.

“You should have seen the look on Kenji’s face when he walked in on her showing me some of her tricks.” She said with a smile.

“Oh you mean he walked in on her showing you her magic?”

“She was showing me something alright but it wasn’t magic.” Koaru said with a wink.

“W-What?!” Kenshin said as his eyes widen in realization.

“W-What do you mean?” He asked.

“Well, when you passed. I fell into a deep depression. Megumi moved in shortly after you died. She was extremely worried about my declining health, so she thought it was best that she live with me so she could take care of me better.” She said.

“But what about the disease being contagious?” Kenshin asked.

“Ironically she found a way to cure my illness with a new type of medicine that she made shortly after you died, her discovery was phenomenal. The only problem was that by the time she managed to cure me, the disease had already damaged many of my organs. So I was going to die either way but she managed to give me a few more years and for that I am thankful. Her discovery has saved the lives of millions but she still feels great regret over not being able to save you and me.” Koaru said with a sad expression.

“Oh… This one has to ask… When did you and Megumi-”

“Become a couple?” She interrupted.

Kenshin nodded with a dumbfounded look.

“Well, a year after you passed. Megumi and I were sitting in the dojo, she had opened the some of the windows so I could get some fresh air. We had grown much closer over that year. I was sitting in the sun as she was knitting, she had just taken up the hobby. She began to tell me about Equestria as she always did since gaining her memories to cheer me up.” She said.

“That day my depression was very bad, I missed you so badly. I remember holding a picture of you as my heart yearned for you. Megumi saw what was going on and came over to check on me.” She paused for a moment.

“I remember being amazed at the stories Megumi told me about Equestria, how there was hardly and crime and no war.” She said with a smile.

“Eventually one day by some odd chance the conversation moved on to how the relationships between our worlds differ. She told me about how herds work and thinks like that, she also told me that if a stallion dies the mares of a herd will usually comfort each other and love each other.” She explained.

“I didn’t get what she meant by the mares love each other for a while until she explained.” She said to which Kenshin was intently paying attention to what his wife was saying.

“She kept telling me that it wasn’t healthy for me to be sitting there every day depressed. I won’t lie, I never really did move on.” She said with a sad smile.

“I’m very sorry that I caused you so much pain my love.” Kenshin said with a melancholy look.

“But how did you two-”

“Hook up? Oh that’s simple actually, one day my muscles were aching really badly so she took me to a local hot spring to help soothe my pain. We both got in, she offered to massage my shoulders which was something she often did for me so I thought nothing of it. Eventually one thing led to another.” She said with a blush.

*THUD*

“Ororororororo.” Kenshin moaned as he collapsed on the ground. Koaru couldn’t help but laugh at Kenshin’s antics.

“Even to this day, you still do that!” She laughed kind heartedly before finishing her explanation.

“I was lonely and had no one other than Megumi, after losing you I sunk into a deep depression. I guess I just clung to Megumi since she was always with me. Yahiko would visit often. Saito believe it or not would drop by every now and then to check on me.” She said.

“Saito?” Kenshin asked with shock as he stood back up again.

“Despite what has happened in the past between you two, he came in to check on me and Megumi to see if we were alright.” She said to which Kenshin was surprised.

“Kenji would visit when he could, but… He was going through some personal problems of his own.” She said with a solemn look.

“What do you mean?” Kenshin asked with worry.

“He became very secluded, he began to stick to himself a lot. He was always disappearing off to God knows where. I know he always took his training very serious. But as a mother I worried about him a lot.” She said with a frown.

“Is he ok?” Kenshin asked with worry.

“Don’t worry, Kenji is fine. Last time I checked on him, he was with Yahiko. Those two have become very good friends over the years. Megumi always looked out for Kenji, even after I passed. But I will admit it has been a long time since I last seen him.” She said, happy that Megumi looked after her son but sad that she has not seen her son in years.

“Sooo… are you mad?” Kaoru asked her husband with a worried expression.

“About what? You and Megumi getting together? No. I could never be mad at you for that.” Kenshin said with a smile.

“I died and left you all alone. You were sick and lonely, you just wanted to be loved. I’m happy that you moved on and that Megumi was able to ease your pain.” Kenshin said with a gentle smile.

“Thank you Kenshin. That is actually the reason why I’m here. It goes back to what I said earlier. You need to move on.” Kaoru said.

“Kaoru… I don’t think I can… You were all I had…Without you… I’m all alone.” Kenshin said with tears in his eyes.

“That’s where you’re wrong.” She said just as the door to his room slowly creak open as 8 mares walked into the room.

“Kenshin darling, we heard some noise coming from your room. We got worried and-” Rarity said as her and the other mares filed into the room only to freeze at what they saw.

The girls’ eyes went wide as they saw the ghost woman floating there with a smile.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

It was the middle of the night as Sanosuke, Cheerilee, and Vinyl walked into the bar. The place was decently packed, but nowhere near overcrowded. They all walked over to one of the open tables and sat down.

“This is nice. So what’s the occasion?” Sanosuke asked as he looked around the bar from his seat.

“We just thought it would be nice for all of us to get out of the house for a little bit.” Cheerilee said.

“Yeah, you’ve been helping us out a lot around the house. It’s the least we can do.” Vinyl said with a smile.

“It’s nothing, you girls were kind enough to let me stay with you.” Sanosuke said with a smile.

Sanosuke felt bad that he was just lying around the place so he decided to help out with the house work. He may have been lazy but that didn’t me he wasn’t going to help out when he could. He even managed to fix some things around the girls’ home.

“It’s also our way of saying sorry for some of the wackiness that has been happening around the house lately.” Cheerilee said with a sheepish grin.

“Yeah, sorry about that prank Sano. I just couldn’t resist, he he.” Vinyl said with a nervous laugh as she scratched the back of her head.

“The fact that you walk around in nothing but your underwear all day doesn’t help either.” Cheerilee deadpanned.

“Are you still hung up on that? I like to relax at home. Besides, you know you love it. So does Sanosuke.” Vinyl remarks with a smirk.

“It’s alright ladies, I don’t mind.” Sanosuke said with a hint of red on his cheeks.

“Ah, see! Told you! He just can’t get enough of seeing these flanks!” Vinyl cheered with a triumphant smile as she smacked her own ass, causing it to jiggle slightly. Sanosuke’s cheeks turned redder.

“Vinyl, quit teasing Sanosuke.” Cheerilee said with mock anger to which all three laughed.

“Oh alright.” She said with a sigh as a bar maid came up to the table.

“What can I get you?” The bar maid asked with a smile to which they ordered their beers. The mare walked off to get their orders. Sanosuke couldn’t help but notice that the waitress was eyeing him intently with a smile on her face as she walks off. He decided to just shrug it off.

Cheerilee noticed as well and she didn’t seem too happy about it.

“So Sanosuke, what are your plans for the future, besides finding Kenshin?” Vinyl asked.

“I’m not sure really, I haven’t really got any plans for after that. But I’ll think of something.” He said with a shrug.

“You could always find a good mare to take care of you.” The teacher explained.

“Or a good herd.” The DJ added.

“What do you mean?” The young man asked.

“Well it’s very important for a stallion to find a good herd. A herd takes care of a stallion and makes sure he’s safe. A good mare takes care of her stallion.” Vinyl said.

“I was always taught that men were supposed to take care of the woman.” He said with confusion just as the bar maid came back with their drinks. This time she was swaying her hips a bit and it seemed that her skirt was hiked up a few inches.

“Here you go honey.” She said to Sanosuke as she handed the drinks out and gave him a wink. This caused both Cheerilee and Vinyl to glare at the mare only for her to ignore them. Sanosuke could have sworn that he could hear a low growl coming from the two mares. As the mare walked off, he could see her swaying her hips as she gave him one last wink. Cheerilee and Vinyl maintained their glares at the mare until she was gone. As they turned back to him they attidues changed back to normal. He had no idea what the hell was going on but he decided to not ask since he was slightly scared by the girls’ reaction.

“Well like we told you before, Equestria is a matriarchy. Mares are expected to take care of their stallions and give them as much love as possible.” Cheerilee continued as they all began drinking from their mugs.

“I’m still getting used to Equestrian society, not to mention this world. Besides, what lady would ever want a guy like me?” Sanosuke said with a shrug.

“Plenty of mares would love to have you as their stallion!” Cheerilee said slightly louder than she intended.

“What do you mean?” he said in slight shock and confusion.

“You’re kind and you’re brave. Any mare would be happy to have you in their herd. You always put others before yourself.” Vinyl said as she joined in on the conversation.

“You saved us from that bastard Blue Blaze. You’re a not just a great stallion but you’re a hero as well.” Cheerilee added.

“Not to mention the fact that you’re a hunk!” Vinyl chimed in.

“Exactly!” Cheerilee agreed.

Sanosuke choked on his drink at what he just heard. The two mares’ faces turned red when they realized what they just said.

The young man was shocked by what the mares said.

“You… think I’m handsome?” He asked with surprise.

“W-Well yeah.” Cheerilee and Vinyl said at the same time as their faces became even redder. An awkward silence fell between the three.

“Soooo… How did you girls meet?” Sanosuke said awkwardly as he tried to break the silence.

“O-Oh, well you see me and Vinyl met during our college days. I was getting my doctorate at the University of Manehattan and Vinyl was working on her bachelor degree.” Cheerilee explained.

“We got assigned as roommates in college for that year.” Vinyl said.

“Tavi graduated the year before so I needed somepony to be my roommate, just so happens Cheers here was looking for a roommate. Me and her were working on our final year for our degrees, so it seemed perfect.” Vinyl explained.

“Who’s Tavi?” Sanosuke asked.

“A very good friend of mine, I’ll introduce you to her when we get to Ponyville.” Vinyl said with a smile.

“We both just hit it off pretty well. I liked to party a lot and she had trouble be able to loosen up. So I helped her.” She finished.

“Well that’s good. Everyone needs to let loose once in a while.” Sanosuke answered.

Sanosuke then began to gulp down his mug of beer until it was empty and set it down only to hear singing coming from across the bar.

He saw a couple of mares singing with microphones on stage. Their singing was the not the best. It wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either.

“What are they doing?” He asked.

“Karaoke, haven’t you ever sang karaoke before?” Cheerilee asked.

“No, I don’t even know what it is.” He said.

“You just sing the words that appear on the monitor into microphone.” She said.

“You should try it, its pretty fun!” Vinyl cheered.

“I’m not that good of a singer, trust me on this.” The young man laughed nervously.

“Oh I don’t believe that.” Cheerilee said.

“I can’t sing to save my life.” He continued.

“You’ll never know until you try. You lack confidence and I’m going to help you fix that.” She said with a grin as Vinyl got up to join in a well.

Before the man could protest any further she grabbed his hand and pulled him to the stage as the two mares that were singing left the stage after finishing their song.

“Cheerilee! What are you doing?” He asked.

“Giving you some confidence. Here.” The teacher said as she handed the man a microphone.

“Do I have to?” He groaned.

“Yes!” Both mares giggled.

“Just sing the words that are on the screen Sanosuke.” Cheerilee said to the man. As his eyes met the mare’s he found that he couldn’t protest any further. He found himself lost in her eyes. All he could think of was how beautiful her green eyes were, it was as if they were two beautiful green emeralds. He found that all of his resistance and reluctance began to fade away entirely. He turned to Vinyl but when he looked into her eyes he was met with the same affects. He couldn’t help but admire the mares beautiful eyes and smiles.

“O-Ok.” He said as he finally gave in.

“Alright!” Vinyl said with a fist pump to the air as she grabbed a mic.

(Start Song)

Just a small town filly
Livin' in a lonely world
She took the midnight train goin' anywhere

Just a city colt
Born and raised in south Detrot
He took the midnight train goin' anywhere

A singer in a smoky room
A smell of wine and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and on

[Chorus]
Strangers waiting
Up and down the boulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetlights, ponies
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the night

Working hard to get my fill
Everybody wants a thrill
Payin' anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh, the movie never ends
It goes on and on, and on, and on

[Chorus]

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, ponies

Don't stop believin'
Hold on
Streetlights, ponies

Don't stop believin'
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, ponies

(End Song)

As the three finished the song the whole bar began to clap for them in applause.

“See Sano, you’re singing was great!” Vinyl said.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

Everypony just stood there stalk still as they stared at the ghostly woman as she smiled at everyone in the room.

“Hello there everyone, I see you’ve been taking care of Kenshin since he came here. Especially you.” Kaoru said as she floated up to Pinkie Pie.

“My name is Kaoru Himura. I’m Kenshin’s wife.” She said.

“I-I’m Pinkie Pie, are you really a ghostie?” Pinkie asked to which Kaoru gently laughed.

“Yes, Pinkie I am a ghostie.” Kaoru said with a kind smile.

“You girls have watched over Kenshin during his time here in Equestria. For that I thank you.” She said.

“I-It’s no problem darling.” Rarity said in a shaky voice.

“Don’t worry, I won’t hurt you.” She said laughing again.

The mares all sighed in relief. Kaoru then turned her attention to Celestia.

“It has been a while hasn’t it Megumi.” The ghost said with a warm smile directed towards the Alicorn in question.

“It’s been too long my old friend.” Celestia said as she walked up to the woman.

The two hugged each other tightly for a few minutes before letting go.

“Oro.” Kenshin said causing the two ladies to turn around and see the man’s face turning bright red in embarrassment.

“Kenshin, are you alright dear?” Rarity asked to which everyone looked at him with concern.

“I-I’m still just very surprised about a particular revelation that was told to me.” He said with his face turning even redder in embarrassment at the subject.

“What are you talking about?” Celestia asked.

“I told him about us and how we got together a while after he died.” Kaoru said with a slight blush.

“W-What!” Celestia said with blush.

“Kenshin, I should have told you about that-”

“It’s okay, this one understands and there is nothing wrong with it. I am not angry, in fact I am happy you were there for my wife and gave her the love that I was unable to due to my death.” He said with a red face.

“T-That’s great b-but why is your face still red?” The Princess asked.

“Oh he’s probably embarrassed because he’s still picturing the both of us going at it in bed is all.” Kaoru giggled to which all of the girls began to blush.

The young man then looked like he would pass out any second from the embarrassment of the situation.

“Sooo your Kenshin’s wife right?” Rainbow Dash asked.

“Yes, that is correct.” She said with a smile.

“And you’re dead?” She continued.

“Yes.” Kaoru answered.

“How and why are you here?... No offense.” Dash asked.

“That’s simple. I saw Kenshin crying his eyes out at finding out that I was dead. I have come here to comfort him and help him to move on. I just couldn’t stand to see him so depressed.” She said with a sad look in her eyes.

The young mares looked at the man with sadness in their eyes at hearing this.

“Kenshin, you have lived a life full of hardships and sorrow. I want you to finally be at peace with yourself and be happy. But to do that you need to move on.” The woman said as her expression turned to one of sadness.

“You can’t let my death hold you back Kenshin, You can’t stop yourself from living your life. You need to find happiness.” She explains.

“B-but how can I? You and Kenji were all that I had.” Kenshin said with tears welling up in his eyes.

“Kaoru, I don't know how to move on."

"You have moved on with the help of friends and loved ones. Remember when you had to move on from Tomoe?" The spirit asks.

"You mean the woman that Kenshin first loved?" Celestia asks, remembering the time when Kenshin and the others had to fight Enishi and his gang of crazy people.

"If I could hit you like old times then I would." Kaoru face palms, which is surprising to the others that a ghost can face palm.

"Do you see all those mares right there? All of them care about you and would rather see you happy." She asks, hiding her surprise at how he's not noticing all the woman in the room that would get in his pants to make sure he's happy.

"Or should I bring up how some of them would get in your pants to make you happy?" Kaoru says with a smirk.

"Oro, w-what do you mean?" Kenshin asks completely oblivious and like an idiot.

"Look at those tits Kenshin!" Kaoru flails at all the mares, knowing at least the talk of boobs will get his head on straight...at least hopefully it's the one on his shoulders.

"Do you see who their attached to? All the mares that care about you, I'm a ghost and I can tell they all love and care about you. Seriously I know your dense sometimes but not this dense." She shrieked.

"Maybe it's because we keep shoving his head in our bosoms..." Rarity mutters a little.

"Maybe." Kaoru frowns.

"Listen..." She sighs out a little, feeling bad for being mad at her love.

"You have an entire herd of mares just lining up to make you happy in any way shape or form, both figuratively and literally, instead of focusing on the past...like you did before, how about you focus on the now and be with the ones you care about now. Like how you did with me when you figured out I was still alive after Enishi tricked you into thinking I was dead."

"Wait what!?!" Twilight says in shock and horror.

"Long story." Kaoru says and just keeps it at that.

"But you moved on with Tomoe when you saved me and stopped Enishi, you should be able to move on from me and to all these hot mares. I mean seriously if I knew Megumi was this hot as a mare I would have bedded her when I had the chance when you were gone." Kaoru says while throwing her hands up in the air in exasperation.

"This is a serious topic, do you need to bring that back up?" Celestia says with a blush.

"Yes, yes I do if I need to prove a point." Kaoru says.

"Celestia has to get in line cause I'm gonna help Kenny get better." Pinkie says with a huff, taking a step to the forefront of the group.

"Oro!" Kenshin said with a blush as he looks at Pinkie and the others. Kenshin turns to see Pinkie Pie hugging him tightly as she smiles at him.

"You're right Kaoru, I am not alone. I...I will try and be happy...and I will try and move on. But I will always miss you though." Kenshin says.

"I'll miss you too Kenshin...but as long as you’re happy then I'll be happy." Kaoru says with a smile.

"And that's all I can ask for." She says with a very warm smile.

"Will you be watching over us?" Pinkie just has to ask.

"Given that it's Kenshin, I'll be watching you all from somewhere. In other words, yes I’ll be watching over all of you as well." Kaoru smiles.

"So treat these mares right Kenshin." Kaoru says with mock warning tone but he could tell that she was being serious all the same.

"O-Ok, I will... But hypothetically speaking... What would you do to me if I mess up?" Kenshin asked nervously.

"I will haunt you for a long time, and I will make sure you know the pain of me throwing something at you a lot." Kaoru frowns.

"And I don't think you want me throwing stuff at you for messing up for the rest of your life here." She said with a smirk.

"Y-Yes ma'am!" Kenshin said as he stood up straight and gave a salute out of fear.

"Pinkie hug him for me." Kaoru laughed at him saluting in fear.

"Alright." Pinkie smiled and hugged Kenshin again, much tighter this time.

"At least I know Kenshin will be in good hands, and also he's still happy." Kaoru smiled.

"And if you just so happen to find everyone else, can you tell them all I said hi?" She asks with a smile.

This only confused Kenshin as he wondered what she meant.

“Oro? What do you mean by others?” He asked.

“Oh nothing my dear, just focus on being happy honey.” She said with a gentle smile right before she pulled the man into a deep kiss. Kenshin did not fight the kiss but instead embraced his wife and enjoyed the moment as he leaned into the kiss.

As the two broke the kiss they stared at each other for a moment before Kaoru broke the silence.

“It’s time for me to go.” Kaoru said sadly.

“I love you Kaoru.” Kenshin said gently.

“I love you too Kenshin.” The ghost woman said with a gentle smile.

“It’s been a pleasure meeting you all.” Kaoru said as she turned to everyone. She then floated up to the mares.

“Can you girls all do me a favor?” She asked the mares.

“Sure! What do you need us to do?” Pinkie said with a giant smile spreading across her face.

“When the time comes…Fuck him… Fuck him good and fuck him hard.” Kaoru says with a smirk to the mares who were now blushing hard.

“Especially you Pinkie Pie, ride him until his testicles are empty and he’s forgotten his own name, but remembers yours forever.” Kaoru said with sly grin.

“O-O-Ok.” Pinkie said as she felt like her face was now on fire due to her embarrassment.

“Good.” She said before going over to a very stunned Kenshin who was too shocked by what he had just heard that he was now frozen in place in shock with a bewildered expression.

The ghost simply laughed as she hugged him.

“I love you Kenshin… And I love your other side as well. Though you may not like it, he is still apart of you…” She says before giving him one last peck on the lips.

“Well, it’s time for me to go. Don’t worry I’ll be watching over all of you.” She say as she begins to fade away until she disappeared entirely.

“Thank you Kaoru, I will move on in life and I will be happy.” He said as tears began to slowly run down his face as all the girls hugged.

________________________________________________________________________

Deep inside Kenshin’s mind Battōsai stood there for a moment in shock.

“…I will always love you Kaoru… And I will always miss you.” He said with a sad look in his eyes before fading back into the darkness.

________________________________________________________________________

Sanosuke stepped out of the bar for some fresh air. He snuck out alone, telling Vinyl and Cheerilee that he was going to the bathroom which was a complete lie..

Sanosuke was enjoying the night air as he stood outside looking up at the stars in the sky until he heard a loud crash coming from a dark alleyway.

He walked over to see what was going on only to see a young female griffin being attacked by three other griffins. From the looks of it the young hen was badly bruised and had a black eye.

“I suggest that you come with us quietly if you value your life.” One of the attackers said in a low tone.

“You’re shit out of luck if you think I’m going anywhere with you!” She said with anger.

“Listen, you’re coming with us whether you like it or not, you’ll fetch us a pretty penny with our employer.” One of the griffins said as he walked over to the hen only to get a swift kick to the head sending him straight into a brick wall causing him to crumble to the ground.

Before the two other griffins could turn around Sanosuke slammed both of their heads together, knocking the two out cold.

As the three attackers laid knocked out on the ground the man walked over to the hen and helped her up.

“You okay? They roughed you up pretty badly.” He said.

“I’m fine. Thanks for kicking the crap out of those bastards.” She said with a smirk.

“No problem. Names Sanosuke.” He said.

“Names Gilda.” She said as they shook hands.

“What did they want with you?” He asked.

“They were most likely trying to kidnap me, my mother is a governor back in the griffin empire.” Gild replied nonchalantly as if it were nothing.

“Oh, well at least they won’t be bothering you now.” He said with a laugh.

“Yeah.” She laughed.

“Well I gotta split, see ya Sanosuke!” Gilda said as she flapped her wings and flew off into the night sky.

“Seeya.” Sanosuke said before making his way back into the bar and to Vinyl and Cheerilee.

________________________________________________________________________

*Meanwhile in Prince Blue Blood’s Bedroom*

Kaoru floated at the foot of Blue Blood’s bed as she gained an insane smile as she watched the pompous prince sleeping.

“Let’s see what I can do.” She said as she changed her appearance slightly using her ghost abilities.

“That should work.” She said with a smirk.

She raised her hand and pointed it at a vase that was on the other side of the room. The vase immediately flew across the room and shattered against a wall causing Blue Blood to leap up from his bed.

“Who dares wake me!” The prince shouted in anger as he rubbed the sleep from his eyes.

“You’re the one that attacked Kenshin and his mares, I am personally going to teach you to never do that again. When I’m done with you bitch you won’t be able to shit right for months.” The ghost growled.

“How dare y-” Blue Blood’s words stopped dead in his throat when he saw the ghost staring at him from the foot of his bed.

Blue Blood was shaking so badly he couldn’t even scream. But what terrified him the most was what the ghost had in her hand.

A baseball bat with barbed wire wrapped tightly around it.

The ghost simply snapped her fingers, at that moment Blue Blood was pulled towards Kaoru by an invisible force.

“W-Wait!” The prince cried.

She snapped her fingers again causing the Blue Blood to be flipped over onto his stomach, forcing him to now be bent over the bed.

“You need to learn to be nice to others.” The young ghost woman said in a singsong voice.

“You can’t do this you psychotic bitch!” Blue Blood shouted in panic.

“We’re going by prison rules bitch! If anything you’re the bitch!” Kaoru laughed.

“You’re seriously angry at me for what I did to that disgusting creature!” The prince said in panic. Kaoru just paused for a moment before her face lit up with anger.

“Oh you just fucked up now!” She said as she snapped her fingers again causing his pants to be pulled down.

“HOLD ON TO YOUR LUGNUTS! IT’S TIME FOR AN OVERHAUL!” The ghost shouted before stopping just a few inches away from him.

At that moment Kaoru’s voice shifted from feminine to that of a very scary deep voiced man as she raised the barbed wire baseball bat in her hands.

“Come here puppet boy, make your daddy talk.” She said in a deep manly voice before charging at him again.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!”

That night all the guards in Canterlot Castle could have sworn they heard what they thought were the screams of a mare followed by the demented laughter of another mare.

Author's Note

Hello everypony, sorry about the huge delay on posting this chapter. Also, sorry that this chapter is kind of short. (At least it is in my opinion).

A lot was happening while making this chapter. I had bad writers block, I had been very depressed, and sadly one of my sister's friends committed suicide. My sister is doing much better now and I have been trying to comfort her. My sister has been hanging out with her friends who are helping her out.

I have also been playing a lot of Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain for the PS4 (It's freaking awesome!)

Anyway, I should be going much faster on updating my stories.

Also, good news. I have found an excellent artist on deviantart that has done a commission for me at a great price. The commission is for the next chapter of my Deadpool and Deathstroke fic (A Second Chance for Death's Friends). But you'll all have to wait for me to post the next chapter before you can see it. Luckily I have already started on the next chapter of my deadpool and deathstroke fic and have got a good amount of it done.

As always, please leave a fave and a comment. I love comments.

As always a big shout out and thanks to Xinrick for helping me out with this story.

Till next time, God Bless.
