Wounded Butterfly
Chapter One: A Drastic Situation
Kaoru's feet took her as fast as they could. She wouldn't look behind her for fear of what was behind her. She could hear heavy footsteps approaching quickly behind her. "No...this can't be the end!...It just can't!". She turned a corner, only to see lights in a far away house. "Is that a light on this late at night?.. Oh well, I'll take my chances and hope someone is up!!" Then she heard nothing. The person had stopped chasing her. "Oh man, I thought I was a..." Then what she heard filled her with terror.
"You thought you were a goner. Hmmmmm?" the attacker said behind her with a sickening tone of enjoyment.
The one known as Hitokiri Battousai sat comfortably in the corner of the small house while he listened to the other men bicker about who gets the last rice ball. "What kind of stupid meeting is?" The Battousai stood up and slammed his sword against the floor. All the men who were bickering suddenly grew very quiet at this action. "What sort of meeting is this supposed to be? You are wasting my time arguing over meaningless subjects like rice balls!!! I thought we were going to discuss what my next damn assignment was!" Suddenly a scream pierced the silence of the night, and before anyone could tell what was happening, Battousai was already out the door heading to the scene. Battousai ran with his god-like speed and found a young girl being held by the head and pushed on the wall by a shadowy figure who held a sword at her neck about to thrust it through her long, swan-like neck. Battousai took quick action and unsheathed his sword and ran towards the figure. The man noticed this and let go of the girl to defend himself but it was too late. Battousai took one clean swipe, and thrust the blade into the attacker's stomach. The attacker fell to the ground and Battousai finished him off by thrusting the blade into his neck. Battousai pulled out his sword and put it back in his sheath. He then bent down to the ground and picked up the unconscious girl who was bleeding on the side of her face. Battousai couldn't help but notice that she was very attractive. "Her wound isn't that bad", he said wiping the blood off her face with the edge of his sleeve. The yelling of Katsura voice interrupted Battousai's thoughts.
"Kenshin!! Where are you?!"
"I'm over here Katsura, "Battousai said coolly.
"What happened?" Katsura asked curious as to what happened.
"This girl was attacked by what appeared to be a Nuabanshuu Ninja. She's not hurt very badly, just a few scrapes and a cut on her head from the struggle. It's nothing serious."
"Hmmm, why do you think someone like that was chasing her through the streets"
Battousai looked at Katsura like he was a total baka. "How am I supposed to know something like that, Katsura? Sometimes I think you leave your mind in a dusty corner." Battousai smirked just a little when he saw Katsura's reaction. Then Battousai remembered the girl he was still holding in his arms. "We should get her medical attention as soon as possible."
Katsura nodded and Battousai stood up carrying the unconscious girl.
Kaoru squeezed her eyes in pain. "Oh man! Why does my head hurt do much?" Kaoru slowly opened her eyes. "Where am I? I thought I was dead? How am I still here?"
"Well, I see your awake now, Miss Sunshine! How are you feeling?"
Kaoru sat up on the bed and held her head. "Will you shut up? I have a big headache!" Kaoru said in annoyance. "And where am I?" Kaoru said staring at her surroundings.
"You are in my home. I'm Katsura."
Kaoru studied the room and saw someone in the corner, just staring at her. "He has red hair...how odd and he has across shaped scar on his cheek, that must have been painful. And his eyes are amber..." Kaoru felt his eyes burn deep into her mind.
"Ah, I see you have meet my urrrr, business partner, ignore him, he's always like that when he meets new people, especially pretty young girls."
Kaoru blushed a deep crimson color. "Um, thank you...uh, if you don't mind me asking, how did I get here?"
"Ah, I was wondering when you were going to ask that" Katsura said.
Battousai was now very curious. "Maybe I will find out why she was attacked by someone so ruthless."
"We found you being attacked. Do you know why that man was chasing you Miss?"
Battousai stood up. "Yes, I was wondering that as well" he said coldly.
Kaoru pondered the previous nights events. "It's a little hard to remember..."
"Well, think harder!" Battousai said angrily.
"Whoa! Slow down there man! Let her think."
Kaoru thought very hard. "Ow, don't think that hard!" Kaoru thought to herself. "Ok, here's what happened."
End of chapter one
Well, this is the default chapter of my story, I just wanted to clarify things, first off my best friend and I are making this story, but it's mainly my idea. Second of all, I wanted to tell you that I changed the age of Kenshin and Kaoru. I changed Kenshin's age to 22 in this fic and I know that Kaoru would normally be 7 or 8 when Kenshin was 18 or 19 (he's 10 or 11 years older than her) but I change it to her being 19 in this fic and I also made Katsura a little stupider and funnier in this fic, please ignore OOC-ness. Thanks for reading, review and leave an email address for when I update, please! Flames ARE accepted, because writing this is a learning experience! x
