My Cute Kidnapper

Chapter 1, Watched

"Ouch!" Kaoru Kamiya had been attempting to make vegetable soup, cutting her self while chopping the carrots.

'Damnit, now I'm going to have to get stitches.' She watched as the blood welled up and fell down in drops to the floor, it was a pretty deep gash. Well that's what she got for trying to make dinner.

'Humph, see if I try to make dinner for those lazy bums ever again, so who should I go to, Dr. Genzai or Megumi? Hmm, Megumi loves to make my life living hell, even though she is my brothers' girlfriend. So I guess what means I'm going to see Dr. Genzai.'

Ring Ring

Kaoru cautiously maneuvered towards the ringing phone on her desk, careful not to aggravate the cut.

"Mushi Mushi"

"Oh hi Dr. Genzai, how are you today?"

"I'm fine, fine, but I do have a cut that needs stitches, I was just about to come to you for them."

"What? Oh no, that ok, I can always go to Megumi, yes, go to your sister, I hope everything turns out ok"

"Alright, Goodbye"

Kaoru slumped against the wall. "Damn, I guess I'll just have to go see Megumi" She got up fumbled for her very colorful car keys in the messy drawer, walked to the door, locked it and got in her car.

Kaoru started her Honda Civic and drove away down the road, unaware of being watched by the most dangerous agent of all time. Himura Battousai.

Battousai POV

The smell of blood was intoxicating him. The fact that it was her blood made it even worse. He was supposed to be watching her from a distance, but she made that harder and harder each and everyday, with every move, every facial expression. She was making him hard, plain and simple. It was a pity he couldn't do anything yet, he couldn't wait to carry out his plan.

She was the first person besides Tomoe that had made him feel anything. Oh sure, girls practically threw them selves at him, but none as beautiful and intriguing as this one. He was sure she would never throw her self at him.

In fact, she would probably put up a fuss when the time came.

'Oh well, everything will show its self in due time' with that he faded into the shadows, to follow her.

General POV

A car pulled into the driveway of the county clinic. It wasn't very big, but people loved to come here for the pretty doctor, or at least that's how Sanosuke met Megumi.

Kaoru turned the ignition off and got out of the car, walking up the steps to the clinic. Just as she was about to knock, the door swung open to reveal the doctor and Sanosuke coming out laughing. They stopped as they saw her and looked at each other. Kaoru rolled her eyes and pushed passed the pair. "Megumi I need some stitches" She informed the raven-haired doctor. Sanosuke pouted as the Tanuki ruined his plans, they had been planning to close shop and go out for a little alone time. He watched as Megumi grabbed some string and a needle and begin to stitch his sister. "What'd you do now?" He asked sardonically. She threw a glare his way and winced as the kitsune pressed the needle through her skin.

"Trying to make dinner for you two bums" She spat at him, in a surly mood. Sanosuke rolled his eyes and proceeded to lean against the wall of the white clinic. "All done" Megumi spoke for the first time since the encounter, she dumped the rest of the string in the garbage and waited for Kaoru to leave.

"Thanks" She mumbled on her way out to her car. "Ill pay you back later" She started the car and sped off to the park for her daily walk.

Battousai POV

Kenshin watched as she got out of her car, donned in a tiny tank-top and tight pants that had the words 'Back off' splayed across her back side and a kitty on the front, pawing at the air, saying 'I bite'. He smirked at the feisty attitude she put off, not many women could pull that off and still be cute. Most Japanese women were demure and submissive, not this one though. Battousai watched as she ran around the track and jumped when he heard his beeper go off. He looked down and saw the words 'Now' His eyes glowed a molten gold as he jumped down from the tree and began his mission: Kidnap Kaoru

General POV

Kaoru slowed her jogging as she saw a flaming haired man walking by. Her eyes followed him as he passed and she saw him looking at her through the corner of mesmerizing amber eyes. She turned back around and ran right into him. She hit the ground, startled, he had just been behind her a second ago. Kenshin reached out his hand to help her up and she took it, aware of the electrical currants circling through her body. "My names Kenshin, what's yours?" He asked in a rich baritone voice. Kaoru could only stare at him as her mind raced 'what's my name what's my name' "Uhh, it's Kaoru" She finally answered him, gazing into his eyes, he still had not let go of her hand. She jumped as Kenshins beeper went off. The words 'Now!' Were clearly displayed across it. He gaze fell on her once again as he put the machine back and grabbed her.

Her eyes widened and she didn't fight back so great was the shock. Kenshin took off running, his god-like speed blurring them from view. Kaoru gained her wits back and she began kicking and screaming, but they were already too far from civilization for any one to hear her. 'What the hell is happening' She thought as she yelled out "Let me go!" Kenshin didn't answer her but kept running, getting away from the park as fast as he could. He stopped suddenly as they came into view of a seemingly deserted cabin. He put the girl down as he grabbed her hand and practically dragged her to the door. He released it as he fumbled for the keys and Kaoru immediately took off. Battousai allowed her the sense that she was getting somewhere before he disappeared and reappeared right in front of her, stopping her just short of running into him. She stared at him with wide eyes before fainting.

He caught her just before she hit the ground and didn't see her eyelid move.

"Himura"

He heard a voice to his left and knew who it was without turning around.

"Shinomori"

Kenshin replied.

"Do you have her secure?" The cold-eyed Obiwabanshuu asked.

Kenshin turned a sardonic look to the man.

"What does it look like" He asked sarcastically.

Aoshi didn't seem to make note of the tone and continued on in his emotionless voice.

"I will send Misao to help you with her. It will ease the transition."

Kenshin raised an eyebrow to the man and hefted Kaoru into his arms, bridal style.

"What ever you say Aoshi" His voice drifted back to the Okishira as he walked back to the cabin.

He felt his hair lifted by the wind of Aoshi's passing.

"It is not necessary for you to stay Hannya" Kenshin pointed out to one of the Obiwabanshuu as he slipped into the cottage.

The unsightly face of Hannya appeared as he mused to himself.

"You are becoming wise in the way of the Obiwabanshuu, Battousai"

He disappeared from view as he flew into the trees.

Kenshin glanced out the window as Hannya disappeared and laid the sleeping form in his arms gently onto the leather couch.

He looked upon her innocent face and remembered why he decided to become Battousai.

Flash Back

1996

16-year-old Kenshin Himura followed Hiko Seijiro as they walked to the gravesite of the three women who had been kind to him.

He paid his respects and looked up expectantly to Hiko.

"Sensei?"

The big man looked down at his baka-deshi

"You must go out on your own now, Kenshin. You must make your own way" He turned abruptly and stalked back to the small house they lived in.

Kenshin dutifully followed, stretching to keep up.

Later that day:

Kenshin walked down the dusty road, looking back every now and then at the place he had called home for 8 years.

He shook his head and concentrated on what he would do for shelter that night.

The young man looked up and saw a lady walking ahead of him, kimono swishing as she strolled down the lane.

She turned to face him and waited until he caught up, taking note of the bag on his shoulder.

"Are you traveling?" She asked in a sedate voice, her face looking pale in the afternoon sun.

He blinked at her before answering, "Yes, I am. Are you also traveling?"

She faintly smiled and nodded. "Would you like to walk with me?" She asked in her demure voice.

Kenshin nodded and began walking.

"What's your name?" He asked as way of conversation

"Tomoe" She softly answered

"Kenshin" He told her, not being asked.

They walked in silence the rest of the way

A year later:

"Tomoe!" Kenshin yelled out, looking for her. "Where are you? This isn't the time to be playing games, not with a killer on the loose!"

The violet-eyed man called out, hoping to get an answer from the wayward Tomoe. Hearing nothing, he decided to go investigate.

Kenshin cut his way through the brambles and braches as he looked for the woman.

He caught the sound of voices a far off and headed toward the sound. He stopped dead as he saw Tomoe standing rigidly in front of another man.

The white haired guy unsheathed his sword and stepped closer to her, holding it against her neck.

Kenshin stood, paralyzed by what he was seeing.

He watched as the white haired man with glasses cut his loves throat, as she fell, a lifeless heap.

His eyes hardened as he watched the careless way the man left her there. He decided then and there that he would kill the person who did this. Kenshins eyes turned amber and Battousai was born.

End Flash Back

Kenshin turned startled eyes as he felt a hand on his cheek. He saw that Kaoru's eyes were open and she was staring at him.

"…I"
