Kaoru stared at a minute before she broke away from him and headed toward the door. "I wont take any chances then..." She said as she headed down stairs to the living room where the others were waiting for them. "Anyone find anything?" She asked when Kenshin came down and sat on one of the chairs. "No, the windows that we found are lock and when we broke them they had bars on it. Looks like this guy thought of everything." Sano said as he leaned against a wall next to Aoshi. "We didn't find anything either, everything's locked tight." Tomoe mumbled something but no one wanted to know what she said so they didn't ask.

Something was ringing in the kitchen and when they all went to see what it was it was the phone. Kenshin picked it up, "hello?" "Ah, Kenshin I was hoping you would be the first to pick up. Now are you going to give me a body?" Kenshin glared at the wall, "no way in hell." "Ha ha ha, what a shame. Oh and I left a present for you in the dinning room. A home made movie if you will." The line went dead and he hung up the phone. Kenshin didn't say anything as he walked into the dinning room to see a screen set up and everything. We all sat down around the table and Sano hit play.

What was on that tape none of us ever wanted to see. It was Kenshin when he was younger, maybe fourteen or fifteen. His face was void of expression and he was standing over a man that was begging for his life. The younger Kenshin seemed to not hear him as he stuck his sword right threw the mans throat. "Do you remember the old days Kenshin?" The man that had trapped us in here had come on the screen and had a sick grin on his face. "Allow me to introduce myself. I am Shishio Mokoto. Do you remember the old days Kenshin? When you killed in cold blood and didn't give a damn? Do you? I know you do Himura, I know its painful but that's what I like to see, you in utmost pain." Shishio laughed as the screen went black and we all turned to Kenshin, all of shocked. Kenshin had his head in his hands and was crying silently, I bet anything that he didn't want to see that image of himself ever again. "Kenshin..." Kaoru said as she bent in front of him and grabbed his hands, "what was that?" Kenshin looked up to revel the most beautiful purple eyes that Kaoru had ever seen. "It was me a long time ago, I don't even know who the hell that person is anymore..." He trailed off and looked away from her to see the eyes of Sano glaring down at him. "I cant believe you would do that! You of all people Himura! You're a basturd! Just a fucking basturd!!" He yelled but Aoshi quickly put a cold pale hand over his mouth. "Shut up Sagara." He said coldly as he removed his hand and went to go stand by Kenshin. "I guess its times like these you know who your real friends are, eh Himura?" He asked with a ghost of a smile. "Ya, I guess your right Aoshi..." He said but he still looked shaken. Both Kaoru and Aoshi helped him into the living room and sat him down on the couch.

"What do we do? It seems like he wants to drive us insane or something." Megumi said as she sat down near Kenshin so he could get a good look at her chest. "I don't know, the best thing we can do is stick together. Has anyone been to the basement?" Kaoru asked as she moved some of Kenshin's red hair out of his face. "I'm not going in there! Its dirty and gross, no way!" Tomoe said as she glared at her. "Unless you want to be the dead body that we give him I suggest you shut up and get with a program Tomoe." Aoshi threatened as he glared at the girl in question, she didn't answer but looked away. Kaoru helped Kenshin up and they all headed down to the basement, they stopped at the door not wanting to go in. "You first Tomoe..." Kaoru said as she edged away from the door like it was Satan himself. Tomoe glared at her, "why me?!" "Because we would rather get rid of you than anyone else here." Aoshi said bored as he opened the door and forced her through. "Hey!" She yelled as she went through the door and looked around. It was pitch dark and you couldn't even see your hand in front of your face. "Clear." She mumbled as everyone else filed into the darkness that waited for them. "No splitting up, we can't lose each other." Kenshin said as he stood up straight, not wanting to lean on Kaoru for support. "Take hands everyone, I don't want to take any chances." Tomoe and Megumi both grabbed for Kenshin's hand but he grabbed Kaoru's just in time. "I'm in front." He said as everyone else linked hands.

They walked through the darkness blindly and slowly, not wanting to go threw a whole in the floor or something. "Wait...there's a door up ahead." Kaoru said as she squinted to see better. "Its weird...it's three colors." She was right it was black, red, and gold. "I'm NOT opening that thing, not even if you paid me." Sano said as he edged away from the door slowly. "Big baby's." Aoshi said a he let go of Kaoru and Miso's hands and walked toward the door. He opened it slowly only to revel four dead corpses. Aoshi screamed and fell over his own feet to get away. Kaoru walked toward the door, it had four body's in it.

The first was of a little boy, he was about five and had black hair that was blood soaked and covered in mud. His eyes were still open and you could see the horror in his big brown eyes. His mouth was open as if in a silent scream that she was sure was heard throughout the house when he was killed.

The second one was of a teenage girl maybe about sixteen years old. She had long blond hair that Kaoru was sure was beautiful when the girl was alive. It was matted now and had tangles in it. Her blue eyes were dull and void, she might have been killed from behind or something. She had bruises on her white skin that were just painful to look at.

The third was an older woman, maybe around her thirties or forties. Kaoru guessed that her long brown hair was up in a bun but now it was all over the place and chucks were missing as well. Her eye was closed while the other was open, it was a strange sight to see. Her skin was decaying and it smelled REALLY bad.

The last was of a little girl about three, to Kaoru this one was the hardest to look at. You could barely till if the body was human or not anymore. The skin was coming off in layers and the girls blue eyes held unshed tears, it pained Kaoru so much to look at her.

Kenshin came up behind her and hugged her, she turned around and started crying into his shoulder. "Lets get out of here." "You cant, your already in."
