Author's Note: Just so you know, it's set in the future.  Not exactly AU, not in the way you think it is…  [And I don't own Rurouni Kenshin!]

Kidnapped:

            There was a murmur through the crowds as the foreign ambassador stepped off her ship.  As she descended from the hull, a spectator in the amazed crowd analyzed the possible threat the ambassador could pose.  The ambassador wore a long elegant white gown.  Her starry black hair, supplemented by her bright sky blue eyes, made her and her sweet smile extra innocent.  The spectator shuddered at the ambassador's evident weakness and lack of guards or defense.  "A mistake she'll pay gravely for," she thought.

            A great flood of mist flowed out of nowhere, suddenly swamping the ambassador and the crowds.  The spectator, undisturbed by it, smiled in delight at the fear and shock in the ambassador's eyes before she fell into coughing fits.  Her delight further increased as worry passed steadily over the crowds as the police force hurriedly worked to gain control of the situation.

            A swift line of clear air appeared where the ambassador once was, and the mist quickly disappeared from around it like ripples.  The crowds gasped in horror at the ambassador's disappearance, and the fear swept through them.  The spectator smiled triumphantly before disappearing into the shadows…

            A moan escaped Aurora as she struggled to get up.  Slipping clumsily, she realized she was bound at her hands and feet. "No wonder, my ankles and wrists hurt," she thought in mock surprise.  She wiggled into a sitting position she looked scanned the peaceful lakeside view.  A teenager not much older than herself sat leaning against a nearby tree.  She blinked once, wondering if he was awake or not.

            "I see you've finally woke up," the boy stated innocently as he turned and smiled dazzlingly at her.  Aurora felt a blush rise to her checks, flattered by the dark haired and dark eyed boy dressed in two shades of blue.

            "Who are you?  Do you know where we are?" she asked.

            "I'm Soujiro Seta, don't worry, Ambassador, you're in good hands," he answered as a ship hovered down behind him, bearing the emblem of the police.

            "Thank goodness.  I was scared," she sighed in relief.

            The door lowered to reveal a staircase that Soujiro immediately begin to climb.  Aurora frowned as she struggled to stand, watching the figure at the opened door.  The person had stylish short hair and wore an old-fashioned Japanese outfit for females.  What worried Aurora was the great scythe the person held.

            "Please board quickly, Ambassador," Soujiro said as he disappeared into the interior.  Kamitari giggled as the ambassador "gracefully" slipped and fell flat on her face.

            "In case you forgot, I'm a bit tied up!" she muttered, her face still in the dirt.

            Kamitari, still smiling at the ambassador's soiled appearance, walked towards her.  "Here, let me help," Kamitari offered as he kneeled down next to her.  She sat up and smiled gratefully.  Kamitari casually knocked her unconscious and slung her over his shoulder.  "This is too easy," he said as the door closed the police ship lifted, bound for the station in orbit.
