Kenshin sighed as he pulled his kimono around his body for what seemed the hundredth time that day. 'How does Kaoru manage to wear these things everyday?' He still wasn't quite sure as to why he had to look feminine, Kame-sama knows he already tends to look it even without the dress, make-up and hair pins that adorned the wondering rurouni today; though if anyone said that to his face he'd go battosai on them. All he knew as of this moment was that Kaoru was in danger. Somehow she had taken on an assignment the local police had talked her into.
He began recalling the day's events.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
He, Sano and Yahiko had just gotten back to the dojo from a tofu run as well as fishing adventure. Unfortunately instead of Kaoru there to great them, Fujina Yuiko, one of the policemen were there to inform them of the latest danger facing the era. It seemed that there was a band of female ninja that was terrorizing many of the towns nearby, fortunately or not; all those injured or murdered were all men. It seemed that the ninja despise all men, for no known reason and only allow women into the clan who A. possess good or extreme fighting skill, B. Have no child, and C. Above all hate men. The local police decided to inform Kaoru of their predicament and ask if she could go undercover, and inform them of the women assassins' targets. Of course Kaoru being Kaoru decided to leave without telling Kenshin, and for good cause. He would have insisted that she stay and have someone else take care of it.
"Che, Jo-chan really knows how to make problems sometimes ne Kenshin?" Sano had said after hearing the news.
It was Yahiko that answered, "Baka Busu, she shoulda just told us and we would have done it." He began swing his boken, "why didn't she wait for me at least, I mean I can see why she wouldn't want rooster head here.."
"Oi, Yahiko-chan she probably didn't want a kid running around and spoiling her plans." Sano began trying to pry Yahiko off his head.
"Who you callin' chan, rooster head!"
"Is there anyone else here that looks like a kid Yahiko-chan?"
Once again Sano began prying the biting Yahiko off of his head. In there arguments neither of them had noticed that Kenshin had left with the policeman.
"Gomen nasai Himura-san, we need a women to do this job. They can get in better than a man could and still live. Kaoru is the only female around this area that knows considerable fighting techniques."
"I understand Fujina-san, however I wish that you would have waited for my return, perhaps I could have helped to think up another way in." Kenshin grabbed the nearest twig off the branch of a tree and snapped it in half. "I can't help but feel that the timing was very convenient for you."
Yuiko stepped back surprised and stammered "Wh..What do you mean Himura-san? I only came when the chief told me to."
Kenshin watched the man sweat out of the corner of his eyes. "Really? So you would have asked Kaoru-dono with me here as well? I find that hard to believe given my reputation for protecting her. Do you really think that I would have let her go so easily had I been beside her?" He turned to fully confront the now red faced man beside him, his eyes began to glow a slightly golden color for just a split second, enough to make the policeman wonder if it was a trick of light, but in that second they changed back to purple. When he spoke again it was in a softer tone, "Gomen, perhaps I am putting the blame places where they should not be put."
"Iie Himura-san, I am the one who should apologize, I was indeed told specifically to wait until after you left to confront Kamiya-san, our need in her is that great. However, I am afraid I am over stepping my bounds when I say that she is no little girl, I have the utmost faith in Kamiya- san to do the job at hand, but there is a way that you can be with her if you dare venture into that territory. It's something that they will never suspect."
Inwardly Kenshin sighed, the first in a long line to come that day, he knew Kaoru was no little girl, but she needed him. 'Iie', he corrected himself, 'I need her.'
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kenshin glanced around him finding nothing but trees. He had built a fire to begin cooking some dinner but his thoughts kept returning to Kaoru. 'I hope she's ok.' Staring into the fire he thought of Sano and Yahiko's face when they heard the plan that Yuiko had devised. Kenshin was to dress as a female and infiltrate the fort as part of the female ninja. He would have to keep it low on the fighting; the women would of course be suspicious of a female warrior that knows Hiten Mitsurugiyu. Kaoru had been told that there was going to be an operative inside the clan who would find a way to contact her, and help her if need be; Kenshin would be that operative.
"Y…You mean Kenshin has to dress like a…girl?" Yahiko stuttered his face going completely red and if possible Kenshin could almost see the steam coming out from his ears.
Sano just laughed, and laughed, fell on the floor…and laughed. Finally when he could breathe, he did his best to stand, but when he looked at Kenshin, began laughing some more.
Kenshin did his best to contain his anger, it was simply a mistake that his fist landed in Sano's gut, forcing the tall man through the door of Kaoru-dono's dojo. That's all it was, a misplacement of hands he rationalized, and blinked, 'where did that come from', he looked at his fists. Kenshin dusted his hands together and felt suddenly like Kaoru. He shook his head and yelled to the hole in the wall that was once Sano, "Gomen Sano! Kaoru must have come over me!"
Sano just stood up from the wall, dusted his pants and yelled back. "Che Kenshin, Jo-Chan hits worse than that! Stick to the sword, that has more of a punch than your damn fists!"
Kenshin sweat dropped while Yahiko began laughing and the police man gaped open-mouthed. Sano walked over to the three men.
"So come on Kenshin, lets pretty you up!"
"Oro." Was the only thing heard as the three dragged him inside the room.

Please send me comments!! I'd love to read them…( but please…..be gentle.
E-mail me at Hatokirei@aol.com but make sure to write on the little thingy that it has to do with my story, as I have a tendancy to delete anything that looks like junkmail. :P awful nasty habit isn't it.
