Disclaimer: As said many a time before, I don't own anything but my own original characters.

Nanakiyoda: Well, if you are reading this, I must warn you, unless you have read Resident Kenshin and up to chapter 10 on Rurouni Evil, you may feel lost to to the references to them and the history. This is merely a side story to the Saga that is Resident Kenshin.

Tealraptor: A side story?

Nanakiyoda: Yeah...like an event that occurs during the main story that is left out.

Tealraptor: So what is the event to this one?

Nanakiyoda: Well, it takes place after chapter 10 in Rurouni Evil, the sequel to Resident Kenshin. Kenshin and Kaoru had just taken off from the Austrilian Laboratory in a helicopter. Six weeks passed between then and chapter 11 in Rurouni Evil. This talks about what has happened between those six weeks from Kaoru and Kenshin's perspective.

Tealraptor: Ah...okay.

REVIEW FROM CHAPTER 10 RUROUNI EVIL (Kaoru)

I had taken out the flare. The green one. Light the green, mission accomplished...light the red...mission failed. I lit it and wait for the smoke to arise, I waved it back and forth twice, then threw it off the roof. They should see that, hell, I can see them shooting and blowing up the creatures. I glanced over at the stairwell. Good luck Soujiro...

"Kaoru! Come on! We're ready to go dammit!" I heard Kenshin yell. I ran up to him and followed him into the helicopter. They better not pull any shit or I'm taking over. The helicopter lifted, and I took one last glance at my team. No, no longer my team...I am on my own from now on...just Kenshin and I. The S.T.A.R.S. can keep blowing up crap. I'm going to gather as many as I can and form another resistance group. I looked over at Kenshin. He seemed confused. I'll let him know soon...I grabbed and held his hand, to calm him. He looked down at our hands and back at me, smiling.

KAORU

I awoke from my sleep. Wiping my eyes, I glanced over at Kenshin. He was looking out of the window of the helicopter, staring off into the distance as Kenneth flew us. Corithia had also fallen asleep. The sun was setting. The light illuminated Kenshin. It's like he is an angel...

"Kenshin." I whispered. He looked over at me and smiled. I squeezed his hand that I still held on to gently. One who likes to protect me with katanas and guns...

"What is it?" He muttered to me, careful not to awake Corithia.

"We are going to be attacking Umbrella. After we recruit some people of course." I told him. He nodded and smiled again. Willing to keep me safe from everything...

"I know...when I said I would go with you anywhere you wish, I mean't it." He said and kissed my forehead gently. Everywhere I go...

KENSHIN-three days later

I hung up the phone. Already they were transfered to a different laboratory. Corithia and Kenneth also got some information on the next place we raid.

"Who was that?" Kaoru mumbled, shuffeling into the kitchen and wiping her eyes. A new record. 8:00 in the morning. She probably just heard the phone and that was why she woke up.

"Corithia. They got transfered and have our next target." I answered. Kaoru nodded and walked over to the hotel fridge, grabbed herself some cereal and milk, then sat down at the table and poured the milk into the cereal.

"When do we leave?" She asked, and began to eat the food as fast as she could.

"Today at nine." I answered and she finished her food.

"In the morning? Who in the hell works that early?" She asked, and took the bowl over to the sink. You were never a morning person, always working nights.

"No, in the evening." I answered. She nodded and headed for the bedroom. Probably to go back to sleep. I looked out towards the window. The sun was just rising. Might as well get as much rest as I can before we leave.

KAORU-10:45 pm.

I checked over my gear again. Two colt .45's with five extra clips, two knives, one lighter, one .32 caliber with three clips, and a two way radio. Glancing over at Kenshin, I saw he was ready too. The van stopped in front of a laboratory that appeared to be abandoned. The side door swung open and we jumped out. Kenshin ran to the gates and started to climb over them as the van pulled away. When he reached the other side, I climbed over.

"Good luck." He whispered and ran to the stairs leading to the roof. Split up and find the self destruct. Activate, alert and run. Simple enough. I ran straight for the back door. When I reached it, it was locked. I held up one of the .45's and shot the locked. I grabbed the handle and opened the door. It appeared to be an empty warehouse full of laboratory equipment. I kept my guns aimed to the floor and walked carefully to the elevator. Umbrella, you may appear intelligent...but who has an empty run down laboratory with a fully operational elevator, lighted and all. I pressed the down button. The door swung open, I stepped inside. Pressing the button for the lowest level, I sighed. It's all Nemesis's fault...if it hadn't tried to kill me, if it hadn't killed Sanosuke, I would never be here. The elevator stopped on the wrong level, so I stepped over, hidden in the shadow of the corner, hiding my weapons. I was dressed as a scientist. Two people walked inside. They pressed a button.They stared at the door, as if they were robots. The one glanced over at me and smiled.

"Hey there, haven't seen you around. Are you new?" He asked, checking over me. Pervert...

"Actually, I just tranfered over from the Austrialian faction." I answered. He nodded and stuck his hand out. I shook it, faking a smile.

"Really? I heard about that. How did you escape the explosion?" The other scientist asked.

"I escaped by running out of the back before it blew up. Damn terrorists." I answered. Uncle Barry would laugh his ass off if he ever heard me refer to them as terrorists.

"Yeah, I heard that's what happened to Raccoon. They were called the S.H.A.R.K.S or something like that. Evidently, they broke into the laboratory and tried to steal some of the research there, got caught, and blew the place up." The first scientists said.

"Oh? Hm...now I heard that they incited riots over there and went on a killing spree." I said. The elevator stopped and the door opened. The two walked out, waving goodbye as the doors closed. I smiled at them. Even Umbrella won't tell the truth to their own employees... The elevator continued until it reached the bottem. I stepped off and walked down the dimly lit hall. Entering the last door, I bumped into another scientist.

"Dammit! It's about time! We need you to record the transformation as I run the machine." The woman yelled at me. I walked over to the one way mirror, and picked up and clipboard and pencil. Looking through, I saw a man tied down to a table with I.V.'s sticking in his body. What in the hell? The woman pushed a few buttons and a machine started to hum. The woman pulled a lever and a blue liquid drained through the I.V.'s into the man's arms. What is she doing to him! I stood there for a while, just watching the man. He started to jerk around, then yelled. Another strange liquid, amber in color, drained into the man. He fought the straps that held him down, and then fell back and moved no more. I looked up at the woman. She pulled another lever and a green liquid flowed into the man. What is happening? Suddenly, the man jerked up and yelled again. Then, his ribs spread widely, his hands curled and grew. He looked over at me, tears set in his eyes. They held great pain and plea. His legs enlongated, his skin, once tan, was now lightening to a pale white. A large gash appeared in his arm, then opened widely, revealing an eye. The eye, orange where white was suppose to be and black irised with black blood lines flowing through it. He managed to snap one arm free, the one closer to me. The arm reached out to me, his face pleading for me. He was in tears and crying like a small child. His lip quivered, then his whole jaw ripped his mouth wider as it grew out. His teeth grew to jagged pencils, his face grew whale-like and was smoothed out. Oh... my... he's becomeing one of them... Nemesis... victums... all of them were victums for Umbrella's precious research... It's not their fault... I dropped the clipboard and pencil, with no notes written. I had reached my hand to my holster, hidden beneath my labcoat. Without even thinking about it, I shot the woman dead. Umbrella... Nemesis... victums of the corperation... all for money... I ran to the machine and shut it down. The man, or rather creature now fell back and made no other movements. Rage builded up inside me. I looked back at the controls, shaking as tears fell from my eyes. These... scientists... they know what they are doing. These monsters are killing innocent people. Even those creatures are victums... they always have been but I just thought... I never really thought about it. I never thought about it! I never thought about it! I looked back at the creature before me, it just laid there. I never thought about anything. I never think about anything. Umbrella, they must all suffer. They have been killing and making people suffer. They must suffer. I have made a sin of not thinking clearly. I am the one who'll make them suffer to redeem myself. No one will stop me. I smilied as I pulled out my other .45.

KENSHIN-meanwhile

I checked around the grounds with my nightvision goggles. No guards. Umbrella must have a lot of confidence. I sighed as I sat back on the roof. Kaoru insisted that she go it alone. All I had to do is to make sure nothing but her gets out alive. I stretched, then grabbed the radio when it crackled. Is she finished already?

"Kaoru, is everything fine?" I asked. The radio crackled again and gunshots were heard. That's it! I'm going in! I jumped up to climb down the stairs to the laboratory.

"I'm fine Himura." The radio crackled. Ah...so she has it under control... wait... did she just call me Himura? She has never once in her life called me Himura. I ran towards the stairs. Jumping down the shaft, I ran inside the building and to the elevator.

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Guess what!

Tealraptor: What is it?

Nanakiyoda: I finally got my first flame! It read " u suck"

Tealraptor: That sucked. Who was it from?

Nanakiyoda: Someone named anononymus. You know, the person could have been more creative or hateful than that. " u suck" ? is that all you've got? sheesh...I can't even compare the work because the person is unknown.

Tealraptor: You know...that sucks. Don't let it bother you if the person is too scared to leave a name or even..

Nanakiyoda: Actually, I'm happy about it...it's kinda funny actually and give me a reason to laugh. Besides...I don't suck. Sorry but I'm abstinate so no sex, in any form, for me. Therefore I can't suck...hahahahahahaha! It's so funny.
