Anywhere but Russia
Chapter 1: To Texas:
It was dark and only a weak light was glimmering in the street. She grabbed his arm and gently pulled him by the sleeve. They were walking alone in a dark sort of alley that was behind a huge old building. The man pulled a rusty door and carefully entered to the gloomy place, he helped the woman that was with him and guided her inside.
"Enishi what exactly are we doing here?" the woman asked while looking into his beautiful aquamarine eyes.
"I told you Kaoru, I'm just going to do some business" he answered to the beautiful woman that was firmly attached to his arm.
"Enishi if you're in some kind of trouble…. I wont help you out anymore, about the drug stuff last time… my neck is in danger you know, my parents don't want me to be with you anymore…" Kaoru lowered her head there was a sad tone in her voice.
She had long raven hair that reached her waist, her big blue eyes were just amazing, they were shinning even in the cold and dark night, her skin was pale and soft, her cheeks had a tint of red that made her skin look even paler, definitely he was lucky in having a woman like her.
"Baby I'm not, I promise" he said while caressing her white cheek and then purred into her ear " I know it's kind of weird, but I promise as soon as we get out of here, I'm gonna make it up to you" he was going to kiss her, but she turned her head away.
They kept walking in the darkness till they were standing in front of another door. Enishi suggested Kaoru to remain there, it sounded more like an order, which obviously Kaoru disliked but did as she was told, she didn't know in what kind of trouble was her boyfriend involved with and decided that it was better for her to not figure it out.
Her life hadn't been so easy lately, her parents were constantly complaining about her boyfriend, business problems, without mentioning all the suitors that were tormenting her life recently.
Kamiya Kaoru was a wealthy woman, with only 19 years old she had proved that she was capable of taking care of all her family enterprises, she had become an important business icon in Russia and in other parts of Europe, her career was just going up and up. She was not only intelligent but also a very beautiful woman.
If someone had committed an stupidity in his or her life, Enishi was in hers, he hadn't been a good choice at all. Enishi was going trough some economical problems, the once great empire his parents had built were dying in the hands of his spoiled son, he had got himself into drugs and now was involved with the Russian Mafia. Both Enishi and Kaoru were living at Russia, they had been since exactly 10 years ago when both of their families had settled more enterprises in the country. The once gentle and caring man had become just a shadow of whom he was now, she hadn't lost the hope, Kaoru was planning to make that man to come back.
"Enishi where are you going?" Kaoru said between her teeth.
"Just wait here, I'll be right back" he said and headed towards the door, were he disappeared behind it. Kaoru had a bad feeling a bout it, and been as stubborn as she was, she followed him in silence, trying to not even breath. She hid behind some barrels and watched that her boyfriend was talking with another man. She could hear them perfectly from where she was, they were talking about money.
"He's been waiting for you, and you didn't showed up, do you have his money?" Enishi asked. Kaoru glanced at the huge gun he was carrying and watched with eyes wide open.
"No I don't" said the man, who was obviously shaking with fear "But please give me more time" he begged.
"We had already given you enough" said Enishi who took out his gun and pointed to the man's face.
"I'm sorry please give me more time" that was the last thing he said, Enishi pulled the trigger, the whole floor and wall were stained with blood. Kaoru let out a squeak but rapidly placed her hands over her mouth. Enishi jerked his head and scanned the area, he saw a female figure, the sudden surprise hit him, Kaoru had seen it all. He was heading towards Kaoru but she stood up and began to run as fast as her high heels aloud her to, her perfectly combed hair, was dancing wildly with the air provoked by her speed. She tripped and before she could even put a single finger on the floor, Enishi threw himself to prevent her to crash fully against the solid ground. He took hold of her wrists and pulled her towards his hard chest, Kaoru was trying to make him release her of his tight grip, after a few seconds he let go of her hands but Kaoru slapped him right on the face. Enishi stared at her, a stupid expression crossed his face, then touched his cheek that was starting to become red.
"Don't you ever touch me again you psycho!" Kaoru yelled at him, she was in such a shock, the man that she had loved and protected had just killed a man without a valid reason. She pushed him out of the way and ran away. He was speechless, it had been a huge mistake to bring her with him, but he hadn't had another choice. He had been in a rush, and wasn't able to drop her home before his task.
Kaoru was running, she felt that her lungs were about to explode, she finally hit with a crowded street, she glanced in every direction and saw a café, maybe she was going to be safe in there. She entered the place and searched for the farthest table, she sat and sighed. A waitress greeted her and handled her a menu, then left. Just when she was feeling that everything was over something caught her eye, she saw Enishi trough the thick glass of the Tank fish, he was looking for her. She closed her eyes and tried to seem as calm as she could, but he spotted her and began to walk in her direction. There was no way out, to exit the place she needed to pass by Enishi and that was definitely not an option. She waited for him, she felt defeated, and frustrated, Kaoru clenched her hands till they were white, she was trying to hide her anger.
"Kaoru you have to run away" whispered Enishi, he placed his hands flat on the table, and waited for her to response.
"Why should I believe you, you were the only one there" She tried to be strong but her voice cracked.
"They'll come for you…. my Boss men" he punched the table and shook his head, his eyes pierced into hers.
"Give me a reason for me to believe you" Kaoru replied, her chin standing proudly.
"If you don't go now, I will have to turn you in, myself" Ensihi licked his lower lip in nervousness, and shut his eyes closed. He really loved her, but he knew perfectly the consequences of his actions, they will kill her and her family if she refused to escape. "They're looking for you" he said and pointed outside the café, there were like ten guys dressed in black suits searching for someone, she looked at him nervously, she managed to get on her feet, her knees were weak, she knew perfectly who were those guys out there, coldhearted, merciless, and emotionless members of the Russian Mafia.
She walked rapidly towards the kitchen, she bumped with waiters, waitresses, and everyone at her pace, finally she got out of there from the back door after leaving a mess behind. Kaoru had to get fast to her home, and runaway, she had no money to hire a taxi and was so dammed far away from her mansion, so she kept running.
Some minutes later she stopped in her tracks, she froze, her suitcase, she had left her suitcase, her whole life depended on it, she put her head on her hands and let escape a soft whimper, now they could easily find her, she had to be strong and reach her house before they get there. It was 9:30 pm probably she could buy a ticket to anywhere outside Russia and forget about everything. She placed her hand on her chest, she was going to find out a way to pay the taxi.
A cab was parking in the other side of the street, Kaoru made her last effort and ran towards it, she opened the door and entered the car. She told the man that she needed to reach the airport immediately, there was no time now to go back home, now that she knew that they had her suitcase, she needed to leave the country now. She was talking between her teeth, how was she going to pay the taxi? She looked at the floor, no one had left money inside it, she began to bite her lower lip, it was just to much to bear.
The car stopped at the entrance of the airport, the man pointed to Kaoru how many miles she had to pay. A grim expression crossed her face, once again she looked at the floor, she had to have something to trade, she began to search desperately in her pockets and all, she had no cash. She held her hand in front of her watch. 'My rolex' she said to herself, the man was waiting patiently for her 'No, it's too expensive, with this I can buy his car, his house and his life' she sighed again, and placed her hand on her neck in defeat and rubbed it gently, but found a necklace clasped on it 'of course my necklace' she said brightly.
"Please take this" said Kaoru that was holding high the fine piece 'even with this I can buy the whole car and more' she thought and breathed deeply.
"Wow lady, you must be in a hurry" said the man who cheerfully grabbed it.
"you have no idea" said Kaoru and gave him a weak smile. She stepped out of the car, and headed to the less crowded counter. Kaoru was all dirty, her hair was a mess, she was sweating and even worst she smelled like sweat. Besides that she walked proudly towards it and placed her hands flat on it too. The woman that was standing there gave her a quizzical look.
"May I help you?" the woman asked with hauler and glanced at Kaoru from head to toe.
"I need a ticket to London" said Kaoru and smirked. The woman searched in her computer and then returned her gaze to Kaoru.
"I'm sorry were booked" she smiled at her, even tough it was kind of mockingly. Kaoru's mouth went dry.
" To China then" Kaoru said, she was getting desperate. The woman searched in her computer again.
"No… sorry" said the woman after a pause.
"Do you have any flight that leaves within the next 15 minutes?" asked Kaoru, she was about to burst in anger, not only the attitude of the bloody woman, but no flights? That was unbelievable
"Only to Texas" said the woman that had realized about Kaoru's mood change.
"Texas?… Texas!…Texas?" her shoulders drop "Yeah Texas is fine, as long as I get out of here now!" she said to herself life if trying to convince herself that it was good.
"About the payment?" asked the woman, just like if she wanted to make Kaoru to look bad.
"yeah the payment" said Kaoru who took a deep breath again, She searched inside her pockets, then felt something flat and hard, how could she had miss that credit car in back pocket of her pant. She smiled triumphantly.
Flash back……
"I need one of this, a frappuchino and bubble gum" said Kaoru to the man from the counter.
Early that day she had run into a store and had bought some important things to survive. She was in such a hurry that she had placed her credit card inside the back pocket of her pant.
End of flash back.
Kaoru handled the woman the credit car which made the woman to open her mouth widely, the woman was not expecting Kaoru to have an American express, but not any American express a 'Centurion', this credit card is given by the bank to those who spend more than 20000 dollars a month, you can't ask for it, they just give them to you according to the previous explanation. The woman slid the card and printed Kaoru's ticket, then gave it to her.
"have a nice trip Miss" said the woman with her head low.
"Thank you" Kaoru said and flipped her hair back, then walked away 'A-28' Kaoru kept repeating herself the number of the gate were her plane was waiting. But something made her smile in relief, she saw a sign 'restrooms' she hurried to enter the place and looked herself in the mirror, she washed her face and after fixing her suit and cleaning her dirty clothes she headed to the waiting room. Only ten minutes to her departure then she heard an announcement 'passengers of first class of the flight number 28965, please aboard the plane' Kaoru saw her tickets, that was her.
Kaoru sat on her huge seat, and looked around her, there was no one in first class, and were so few in the tourist one. She glanced at her watch 10:00 pm, her plane was going to leave soon, they will never find her and she could live a peaceful life, or so she tought.
"Come on Sano" said a red haired man, who was having a sort of argument with a spiked haired guy, then added "Just drop it" he said and laughed.
"Kenshin please just, accept the date, have some fun, you need it" he punched playfully the other man
Kenshin Himura, with only 20 years old, he had inherited his family oil empire that had passed from generation to generation, making him one of the richest guys in the world. He was actually living in San Antonio, Texas were he had recently started to dig and was so dammed busy with all the paperwork to fill. Single and extremely handsome, had made him one of the most wanted bachelors in the States. He had red hair and violet eyes, he was a not so tall man but was in great physical conditions and not even to mention his amazing martial skills and amazing sword techniques. Besides al his wealth, he had been alone since a long time ago when his parents had died 10 years before.
Throughout almost his whole life Sanosuke sagara had always been there to support his friend, he had also became Kenshin's lawyer just to prevent from anyone to steal money from his old and lifetime friend. He had brown hair and chocolate eyes, his iron like fist was one of his outstanding characteristics besides his enormous ego. Not only Kenshin had the power to make any woman to fall to his feet but Sanosuke had his own charm too, and together…. Well they could make a carpet of women. Even though Kenshin was actually surrounded by women he had never been with one he could tell that had truly loved, they were or seeking his money or trying to make him to marry them to secure their futures, both options were just pretty wrong.
Sanosuke had got an invitation and was planning to take his friend with him, he had also arranged one blind date to make Kenshin to go out with a woman, he hadn't been with one since… HER.
"No Sano, I don't feel like going out" replied the red haired man, who looked away.
"Man, almost three years had passed, you have to let her go" said Sano and smirked.
"Maybe you're right, maybe you're not" sighed Kenshin.
"You are unbelievable" said Sano and shook his head.
