Battousai let her go once, he isn't about to do it again. But the thing is, Kaoru Kamiya has a secret about her life. And Battousai doesn't know about it. Can the Goddess of light fall in love with the King of hell itself? ~@~@~@~@~@~@~@@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@~@

*Earlier that day*

"Battousai, I think I found someone for you." The quirky little weasel girl next to Aoshi glanced at him with disbelief. "Actually, I think she is the reincarnation of your old girlfriend."

This caught everyone's attention. Battousai's old girlfriend was missed between the group. It had been fifty years ago that she was killed.

Battousai stared at Aoshi for a couple minutes before speaking. "Lead me to this maiden." "You must wait until eight tonight. We shall go to her work."

Sanosuke seemed to be disappointed by this. "I was going to drink on a innocent tonight." Megumi looked at him with kill written in her eyes.

"Well, that's that! Tonight we go to Tomoe's work!" Misao smiled as they began to get ready for being surrounded by humans. "We're gonna be killin tonight!"

*Kaoru's Work*

"Tonight I have to sing my favorite song!" Kaoru pet the little cat that lay on her wardrobe. "I can't wait!"

"Kaoru! Five minutes!" Kaoru stood up and took one last glance in the mirror. "Hopefully my horoscope was wrong." Her cat stared at her stupidly. "It said," Using a very duel voice she spelled it out. "Cancer will meet the unhappy lion today. RUN because he will set eye's on you."

She made a disgusted look and walked out onto the stage. [Hopefully, it won't be Enishi!]

"And now here comes our top performer, Kaoru!" The announcer disappeared from the stage and a young woman stepped in his place.

(Kaoru Singing) In your dreams, magical thoughts...

All things are real unless you dream they're not.

In your dreams, love is the plot carried on wings of hope.

Each of our souls intertwine, when we do.

Instantly we see it the time to grow and be it when everything is pinned on a hope.

Let rise the dreams of your heart, that innocent youth careless and kind.

Free to roam the breeze in love only when two brilliantly shine as one...

Kaoru gave the clapping audience the biggest smile she could muster. If they weren't there she wouldn't get paid so she had to be kind. "Arigatou."

Kaoru was about to leave when she felt someone watching her. She stood frozen for a moment then slapped herself mentally. [Of course you retard! Your on a stage!]

She quickly got off and went to buy a drink of water. "I wan..." The man next to her handed her a bottle of water. [Hmmm, that was strange.] "Kaoru! I need a word."

Enishi grabbed her hand and pushed her into his office. Her bottle of water was left on the floor of the bar. "Good job out there! You may go home early if you wish." Kaoru thanked him and quickly went into the dressing rooms.

"Meow....." Kaoru picked the cat up and grabbed her keys. "Let's go home and make dinner ai?" Not expecting for the cat to answer she walked out the door.

"Run!!!!!!!!! Vampires are here! Run!!!!!!" Kaoru was alarmed by the sudden movement of the bar. Everyone was running out to the doors. She quickly walked to the door when she tripped over something soft. "What the?"

She looked at her hand and instantly screamed. Blood was soaking her dress and her hand. "Ah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Kaoru grabbed her cat that she had let fall and threw him outside.

"Someone! Help! He is going to hurt me! Help!" Kaoru looked over at the person screaming. [Oh no!] Her dear friend suddenly lay dead in front of her. He was the one who had helped raise her. "No!!!!!!!!!!"

Kaoru stood and ran over to him not thinking about anything else. [He can't be dead! He just can't!] She looked down into his almost dead eyes. "Kaoru...." "Shhhh... you need to safe you energy."

"Safe yourself, run." "Yes maiden, please give us a little chase tonight." Kaoru grabbed a sword that lay nearby and turned to face the killers. "Don't take another step closer!"

The two golden eyes seemed to glisten in danger and the others started laughing. "Do you really think you can kill a vampire with that." Kaoru's eye's flared with anger at their words. "You want a chase? I'll give you one!"

She burst threw the front doors and ran along the street. Kenshin and the others stayed as far behind as possible. They wanted to see if she would do the same thing as Tomoe did when she met them.

Kaoru entered the church and opened a door that led upstairs. "So you do think like her. You are mine you know. You belong to me." Kaoru turned to stare into the eyes of a killer.

Battousai wasn't about to let her escape, not again.
