3. Recognized and Searching Pt.2

~Narrator's Pov~

Yahiko reached Kaoru's dojo at sunset.

Inside the dojo, he found the others were already there, including Dr. Megumi, Dr. Genzai, and his two granddaughters.

He knew it was time to tell all about Luna.

"Hello Yahiko. Did you find the girl last night," asked Kenshin.

"I need tell you guys some thing," Yahiko told them.

"What is it," Kaoru asked.

Yahiko told them everything, from how he knows Luna to her situation to her situation to why he hasn't told them before to asking for their help in saving her.

"Don't worry Yahiko, we'll help your friend," Kenshin said, reassuringly.

"Yeah, but where are we going to find her?" questioned Sano.

"Near Cherry Blossom Trees," Yahiko answered.

The others look at him for him to elaborate.

"Luna loves Cherry Blossom Trees. She's either laying under them or laying on one of the branches. Anybody who knows her can find her on the paths to a Cherry Blossoms, paths that leads away from them, and around or on a Cherry Blossom branch," Yahiko elaborated for them.

"Okay, we'll start our searches from there in the morning," Kenshin said.


*Time Skip- Morning*


The gang have been searching for hours after they had breakfast.

So far none have any luck.

Kaoru checked the North side town of the Cherry Blossoms but Luna wasn't there.

Sano is checking the South side of town near the Cherry Blossoms but the little girl wasn't there either.

Kenshin is checking the Cherry Blossoms on the West side of the town but Yahiko's friend wasn't there either.

Yahiko and Yutaro checked the Cherry Blossom trees on the East side of town together but they still didn't see Luna.


*Time Skip- 5 weeks later*


With each day that Luna wasn't found, Yahiko's concern grew and by the end of the first week, he begin to panic. The others were also growing concerned.

By the end of the ninth week, Yutaro and Yahiko finally found Luna.

Yutaro and Yahiko found her in one of the caves at the Cherry Blossom Tree Grove.

When the 10 year old boys looked in to see her, they see she was badly injured. Luna's face was the most beat in so far as they can see because you can barely see her original skin tone beneath the bruises and blotches, and if you look real close you can also see that she has a black eye on her left eye. Not to mention she has bruises and blotches all over her and she's covered in blood.

For a moment the two boys thought she was dead, but they saw her soft and even breathes which indicated she was sleeping.

"Come on lets get her to Dr. Genzai and Megumi," Yahiko told Yutaro.


~The Clinic of Dr. Genzai~

Yahiko and Yutaro made it to the clinic with difficulty due to Luna's state but she never stirred once and Yahiko's concern heighten since Luna was always aware of her surroundings, guard up, and instincts set to high when she was awake and even in her sleep.


*Time Skip- Midnight*


It has been 9 hours since Megumi and Dr. Genzai have been operating on Luna.

Yutaro went to inform their friends while Yahiko sit outside of the clinic for some air after seeing his best friend's body, same with Yutaro.

But once it was close to getting late, Kenshin, Sanosuke, Kaoru, and Yutaro went home but Yahiko stayed at the clinic to make sure his sister-like figure would pull through.


*Time Skip- Morning*


"Yahiko wake up," Megumi said, softly while gently shaking Yahiko awake.

"Hmmm, what happened… Luna!" Yahiko said.

"She is fine for the most part but she is stable and in a coma," Dr. Genzai said.

"What?" Yahiko shouted.

"In my opinion its better if she stays that way for a while since she will be in great pain if she's awake," Dr. Genzai told Yahiko.

"The others said they will be here shortly," Megumi spoke.

"Can… I see… her," Yahiko stuttered.

"Sure," said Dr. Genzai.

Yahiko made his way to the room that his best friend is resting in.

Yahiko didn't like what he see when he saw his female friend. She bandaged up like a mummy.

"How long has she been like this," Yahiko whispered.

"Since last night and we were going to tell you about her last night, but you were already asleep so we decided to tell you in the morning," Megumi answered Yahiko.

"How bad is she," Yahiko whispered again.

"All of her ribs are broken, were just lucky none of them punctured her lung. She also had internal bleeding but we fixed that. We have to put 10 stitches on the back of her head, 2 stitches on the front of her face, 57 stitches on her back and front. There was also a long and deep gash on the side of her left leg and her right arm that we have to stitch up. Both her upper and lower left arm have hair-line fractures. Her lower right leg also has a hair-line fracture. She also has multiple muscle tears everywhere but there minor and won't damage," Dr. Genzai said, sadly.

"But despite her injuries she won't scare and no nerves were damaged and she will make a full recovery," Megumi told Yahiko reassuringly.

Yahiko had his eyes closed while they were talking and a few tears slipped from his eyes as well.

"We'll live you alone for now. Yell if you need anything," Dr. Genzai said to Yahiko.

Genzai slide the door to Luna's room shut, leaving Yahiko inside with his comatose friend.


*Time Skip- Midnight*


Time has passed.

The others stopped by for several hours and they have been trying to comfort Yahiko within those hours but to no avail.

Kenshin, Sanosuke, Kaoru, and Yutaro left to go back to Kaoru's dojo while Yahiko stayed by his friend side.

Kaoru try to get him to go home but he refused so Dr. Genzai told them Yahiko was welcome to stay.

They left at 8pm.

Luna was still in a comatose state and Yahiko was sleeping on one of the extra cots that was in Luna's room.

All was silent in Dr. Genzai's clinic.

Silently two mysterious figures entered the clinic.

They went into the rooms of Genzai, Megumi, Ayame, and Suzume where they bound and gagged each and everyone of them.

Then they made towards Luna's room.

On the beds that were in there, they can see that Luna and Yahiko was still slumbering.

One of the mysterious men went over to Yahiko's bed so he can bound and gag Yahiko, but when he pull down the covers there was nothing there except the pillows underneath the blanket.

"Hayao, we have a problem," the mysterious man said to the other man who is now Hayao.

"What is it," Hayao asked Hajime, the other mysterious man.

"Yahiko is missing," Hajime whispered.

"What?" Hayao whispered, harshly.

Hayao turned back to Luna's bed and pull down the blankets, and saw only pillows underneath.

"What the hell?" Hayao yelled.

"Looking for someone," a voice said from behind them.

The two men turned around and saw Yahiko standing behind them.

"Where is she," Hayao growled.

"Like I'm going to tell you two," Yahiko said, defiantly.

Yahiko positioned his shinai*, to show that he was going to fight them.

Hayao and Hajime unsheathed their own swords and got into position to attack.

The battle is mainly having Yahiko dodging Hayao and Hajime since he knew that their metal swords can easily cut through his bamboo sword. But, Yahiko only attack from behind, on the head, the legs, and any openings.

Yahiko knew that his strategy isn't working well but for now that's all he can do.

He dodged another attack from Hajime and attack Hajime on the head.

For a while Yahiko have been dodging then attacking.

"I have to come up with something else," Yahiko motioned.

He began to formulate a plan with the consideration of the layout of the town.

Few minutes later, he came up with a plan; it was a long shot but he can try.

Hajime went for another attack that's when Yahiko jumped back and started running out of the clinic with the two mafia's henchmen at his heels. Yahiko turned left and began to run towards the dojo he took residents up in.

Hoping his hunch and plan will work. If not then him and Luna are doomed and probably will either will face death or life of servitude.


*Time Skip- 1/2 hour later*


Yahiko breathing heavy as he been running and the mindless goons were still on tail.

The goons are getting closer.

Yahiko yelped when Hayao roughly grabbed the back of his kimono. Hayao lifted the little boy up. "Well, well isn't little Yahiko from Yakuza. Where did you hide your little girlfriend?"

Hayao asked.

"I'm not telling any of you," Yahiko stated stubbornly.

Hajime chuckled, "Well I guess we have to bea-"

Hajime's sentence fell short when a fist connected to his head. Hajime fall to ground but his still conscious.

The two henchmen turned around, with Yahiko still in Hayao's grasp, to see Kenshin and Sanosuke.

"Kenshin! Sano!" Yahiko exclaimed excitedly.

"Let the boy go," Kenshin said, authority.

Hajime got himself up from the ground.

Hayao and Hajime scowled at the two new presence.

"I think we won't. This boy has hid something that belongs to us," Hajime said.

"Luna is not a something, she is a human being and she doesn't belong to you," Yahiko stated, stressing the words 'she', 'human being', and 'doesn't belong to you'.

"Shut up you little brat," Hajime spat, "how about this Hayao will let the little boy go only if you hand over the girl."

"That is not an option," Kenshin stated, "we will keep Luna and will get Yahiko back by force." Kenshin and Sano got into attack position. Hayao and Hajime chuckled. "Fine if that's the way you want it," Hajime said. Hayao raised his free hand, that wasn't holding Yahiko, and snapped his fingers. In a flash, Samurais appeared around them. "Lets see if you can get passed Gokudo's malicious samurai that have ever lived," Hayao declared. With Hayao's last words, the Samurais of Gokudo attacked the ex-samurai and the ex-fighter for hirer.

Mid-way through the grapple, Kenshin noticed out of the corner of his eye is that Hayao was escaping with a now unconscious Yahiko, who is over Hayao's shoulder.

Kenshin shouted out to Sano and pointed to the escaping Hayao and unconscious Yahiko.

Sano looked at where Kenshin is pointing then back to the swordsman and then they bounded after them while striking down the samurais and Hajime out of their way.


*Time Skip- 3 hours later*


Sano and Kenshin ended the battle an hour ago but they still have to pursue Hayao who still has an unconscious Yahiko over his shoulder.

Through a series of twist and turns of alleys and roads Kenshin and Sanosuke still remained in hot pursuit. However, it came to an end when they lost Hayao in the Cherry Blossom Grove. They kept running and have their eyes and hearing open, hoping that they could catch up to Yahiko's kidnapper.

They stopped a few hours later when it became fruitless.

"Great how are we going to search for Yahiko now?" Sano asked, exasperated.

"Simple. We can track Yahiko by Luna. She knows where he took Yahiko," Kenshin stated.

"Are you sure she would tell us?" Sano questioned.

"Yes. She might don't want us to rescue her from their clutches but she will tell us if she knew that they have Yahiko in their grasp," Kenshin answered.

"How do you know?" Sano questioned again.

"Based on what Yahiko told us of her. She won't have Yahiko risking his life for hers but she'll risk her life for Yahiko's if she knows that they have him now," Kenshin simply stated.

With that the two males exited out of the grove and went back to the clinic to untie the two doctors and the two little girls.

Kenshin went into the room that Luna was resting in. He gently and carefully slid the still comatose Luna from under the bed that she was resting on then picked her up, and gently and carefully put her back on the bed so she can be more comfortable.
