Disclaimer: Don't own RK or RE so no killing me okay? It's hard enough to slaughter zombies with katanas to begin with.

Nanakiyoda: I apologize to anyone who's wanted to send in an anonymous review.

Tealraptor: Well you should have unchecked that box earlier.

Nanakiyoda: I said I was sorry. Anyways, Tealraptor, you should like this fanfic.

Tealraptor: Really? That's hard to believe.

Nanakiyoda: Just read it.

BTW: Set in Raccoon city, before the riots.

KAORU

I walked to the coffee café and ordered a cappuccino. Turning around, I headed over to the table where he sat. Short spiked red hair with a ponytail tied in the back. His eyes were a deep purple. He smiled as I approached him.

"Miss Kaoru. How are you?" He asked as I sat down and smiled at him.

"I'm fine. Actually, I'm planning on moving in a couple of days. My stuffs already packed and is being shipped off to Tokyo." I answered him. For a second, it seemed as if he had a pained look in his face but it returned to normal. Of course he would feel pain, he's know me since we were kids…you dumbass.

"So that's why I haven't seen you in a while. I thought it was because you were avoiding me." He said in a relieved voice. Me avoid him? Ha! I couldn't do that.

"Yeah. Sorry I haven't gotten a chance to tell you earlier." I apologized. He smiled.

"It's okay. Maybe later we could meet up at your apartment and celebrate your leaving?" He suggested. I smiled back at him and nodded my head.

"How about tonight at nine?" I asked and he agreed. Finishing my cappuccino, I waved goodbye to him and left. Tonight at nine. Better order pizza tonight.

LATER-KENSHIN

I drove over to her apartment, quickly. No way am I gonna be late. I parked the car at the store. Course, Miss Kaoru will forgive me. She did call and tell me to pick up some chips and pop. Stepping up to the counter after making my selection, I paid for the items and stepped outside. The cool September breeze washed over me. Getting into my Mitsubishi Eclipse, I backed out. I can't believe she is really leaving. She's talked about it since we were kids. As I turned the corner, I saw a man stumbling around as if drunk. How could people waste their lives like that? As I continued down the street, I saw more people who were drunk. That weird. Finally, I arrived at her apartment. I got out of my car and buzzed the door. She opened the door, smiling. It's always good to see her smile. Of course, she was wearing her regular white wife beater and loose jeans. She had her hair up in a high ponytail. Her blue eyes seemed to gleam with joy. I'll miss that.

"Hello? Kenshin? You there or are you daydreaming?" She asked waving her hand in front of me. I smiled and stepped inside her apartment. Daydreaming…

"Oh, sorry Miss Kaoru, I was just trying to remember if I've forgotten anything." I answered quickly. She shook her head and carried the pop and chips to her counter. Her apartment was bare and clean, except for a couple of blankets on the floor of her living room. What's that smell? I looked over and saw pizza on the counter as well.

"Yeah, this is the cleanest this apartment has ever been." She remarked. I smiled again.

"Shall we dig in?" I asked. She nodded and grabbed herself a slice of pizza. I felt an empty feeling inside me. I really don't want her to leave, but its what she wants.

LATER-KAORU

I stretched, having eaten half of the pizza. Kenshin just stared at me, again in a trance. He's acting weird tonight. Wonder what for? BLAM! I jumped forward into Kenshin's arm at the sound of the gunshot. BLAM! I huddled closer to him. I hate guns! Who in the hell is shooting?! BLAM! I whimpered. Kenshin finally snapped out of his trance.

"Miss Kaoru? Are you okay?" He asked and held me closer. NO! I'm hearing gunshots and I hate guns and…I hated guns because my father was killed by one while on duty.

"Kenshin…I…hate…guns…" I managed to cry out. He got up and walked to the door. I held a click and saw him lock the door. He turned around and smiled at me. Glad you find some hilarity in this jerk. He walked back over to me and sat down.

"Perhaps I should stay with you tonight?" He asked. I nodded my head. A scream rang out and I jumped up. Kenshin was on his feet as well. Why is this happening? This isn't a dangerous neighborhood. What is going on? Kenshin seemed to be thinking the same thing. BLAM! BLAM! I ducked down to the floor quickly and saw that Kenshin had his own gun out. Why is he carrying his .45 with him? He's not on duty. He's on vacation.

Kenshin kneeled down beside me. I glared at him. Jerk, carrying his gun.

"Miss Kaoru lets go to your bedroom. We'll have to shut off the lights. Its better if whoever is shooting thinks no one is home." He commanded. Nodding I got up and picked up the blankets and leftover food, carrying them to my room. Kenshin shut off the lights and walked into my bedroom, locking the door as he entered. He had put his gun away. I managed to curl up into his arms to sleep that night. The last things I heard were police sirens and several more gunshots. I have a bad feeling I should have left sooner.

THAT MORNING-KENSHIN

Miss Kaoru slept a restless sleep, no matter how much I tried to comfort her. Don't blame you. Something's going on here. Non-stop gunfire and screams, not to mention the sirens. Plus the drunken people and now I'm starting to hear hungry moaning. My cell phone rang, waking Miss Kaoru. I answered it. It was police Chief Irons.

"Himura! Get your sorry ass over here now! It an emergency!" He yelled over the phone. It the back round I could hear screams and moans. I heard a gunshot echo and some of the moans stopped. Phones were ringing off the hook everywhere.

"I'm sorry sir, that I am, but I'm trying to stay away from getting shot. There is gunfire and sirens all over. What is going on?" I asked, noticing Miss Kaoru get up and stretch.

"Fricking Cannibal shit that's what! Umbrella has screwed up big time so get your ass here now! We need help in barricading the city!" He yelled again, and then I heard him hang up. I turned my phone off and stood up. Miss Kaoru was looking at me for answers. Cannibals? Umbrella? Barricade the city? Don't think I'm going to leave Miss Kaoru.

"Better get a shower. I'm going to have a look outside." I said and she glared at me.

"What's going on Kenshin?" She asked suspiciously. I shook my head.

"I don't know. I'll be back. I promise." I said and unlocked her bedroom door and headed over to her front door but she blocked my way. What is she trying to do?

"Kenshin. You know something. You'd better get your ass back here or else." She said. I pulled her close to me and kissed her full on the lips. Why did I just do that? I pulled away and walked out of her apartment before anything could be said between us.

MEANWHILE-SANOSUKE

Shit. This whole town is beginning to smell like shit. Walking into my favorite bar, I ordered a drink. The bartender shook his head no. What? I've paid back my tab.

"Hey. What's up with that? Can't a guy get a drink?" I asked him, cracking my knuckles.

"Sorry Sano, but the city's going under martial law and I need to get home." He answered. Under martial law? What the hell? I turned and looked at the T.V. he was pointing to. Some cops were standing around, keeping a crowd back from a young man who was sitting atop of another man, gorging on the older mans eyes. WHAT THE HELL?! I ran out of the bar and ran to my trunk. I got see this! If the bar's closing at four, 'cause some creep shows going on, something's up!
