Everyone turned around to see a girl standing there, she looked about ten or so. She had long brown hair that was matted and unkept, her skin was dirty, and her green eyes looked tired. "What do you mean?" Kenshin asked her with narrowed eyes. "Exactly what I said, you shouldn't have com into the basement. Its were everyone gets trapped until someone's dead. Don't you get it? He's playing you like puppets!" She yelled with an angry look on her face. "Ok hold on, who are you?" Aoshi asked her with a weird look on his face. "Sakura, I was part of his first game. The little boy was the body that they offered, it got so bad that we just couldn't take it anymore. I was stuck in the basement and no one came to get me, I saw the others come threw here and die I was forced to watch...it was horrible." The girl shivered as she said this and you could plainly see the sorrow in the girls young eyes. "There's three doors and only three, one leads out but the other two lead to horrors that you wouldn't want to imagine." She said as she looked down at the ground for a few minutes before meeting Kenshin's gaze. "It changes every time so I wouldn't be able to help you. Im sorry." Kaoru walked over to the girl and pulled her into a hug that the older girl new she needed, Sakura started crying and wailing that they thought Shishio might get a hint that she's steal here.
Kenshin and Aoshi looked to the three doors in the far corners of the basement, they all had an eerie feel to them, they couldn't deny that they got goose bumps from just looking at them. "What do you think?" Miso asked them as she hung on Aoshi's arm as Tomoe and Megumi hung on both of Kenshin's. "I don't know, but somehow we need to find the right door without being killed." As he said this a shrill ring from the kitchen sounded and they all looked up and started running for the door with speed that they didn't know they had. Kaoru got to the phone first with Sakura right beside her telling her not to pick it up though she did anyway. "Hello?" She said even though she knew who was on the other line. "Ah, Kaoru Kamiya. Its so nice to be able to talk to you my dear, a real pleasure indeed." She didn't say anything as the others stared at her wanting to hear what the man said. "Now, as I did for Himura I'll do the same for you. Remember remember the fifth of November little Sapphire." The phone went dead as Kaoru dropped it to the floor with a horrified look on her pale face. "Kaoru? Are you alright?" Kenshin asked her as he walked up to her slowly. She didn't say anything as she bolted into the dining room and sure enough another movie was about to play when they all came in.
The count down started on the screen and before they new it screams could be heard from the darkness that surrounded the screen for but a moment. It lit up when the person entered the room and taped a slaughter for the people inside. You could see the murders stabbing a man over and over again in the stomach, head, and pelvic. When the person had enough of that scene they went into another room where a woman was being raped and tortured. The men were pulling her raven hair out in clumps and stabbing her with a dull knife that they had found, it was a gruesome sight to behold. After a few minutes the person yet again got tired of the scene and came to the final one of a twelve year old Kaoru being raped and beaten just as bad as her mother. There were five men in the room and you could see the sick grin on their faces as the young girl screamed and cried for help but to no avail. They new no one was coming.
After the darkness took over the screen again the others could here a violent sobbing and when they turned around they saw a frantic Kaoru crying in Kenshin's arms with Sakura rubbing her back. Aoshi and Miso went over to the wounded girl and held her as well but Sano, Megumi, and Tomoe were not as kind as the rest of them. "Ha, I was right. You are a dirty whore!" Tomoe shouted at her with a glare and a slight smirk on her pale face. Megumi giggled a bit at what her friend had said and Sano smiled a bit as well. "Your sick Kamiya, you probably enjoyed it." Megumi sneered at the girl with an impish grin on her face. Aoshi got up and was about to say something to the three but Miso beat him to it, "you're the whore here Megumi, your like the school bike even gets a ride. The same goes for Tomoe as well, no wonder Sano hangs out with yall, you both give him some every night. Must get boring." She told them as she slapped both Tomoe and Megumi right across their faces. "I'll get Kaoru cleaned up a bit, meet us in the living room." They all nodded as Kenshin drug the crying Kaoru up the stairs and to the wash room at the end of the hall.
"Shhhh, don't cry. It'll be alright, I promise." He said to her after he washed her face and was now just holding her. "Make it go away Kenshin, just make it go away." She said as she pulled his warm body closer to her own. "I wish I could, I wish I could."
