Chapter 4Eyes narrowing, Kenshin leapt onto the tree branch and frowned.
"Yo Kenshin!" Sanosuke yelled from below. "Find anything?"
"Not yet" Kenshin called back. Walking further out on a limb, Kenshin winched in pain when his foot came down on something sharp.
"Oro?" Picking up the weapon, he recognized it as Misao's. Another few feet revealed a piece of a torn blue gi. Seta's. Obviously, the pair had run into trouble. Worried, Kenshin leaped down from the trees.
"Well?" Kaoru demanded.
"I found this" He held out the knife and cloth for everyone to inspect.
"That's Misao's alright" Okina nodded. His eyes grew tired.
"Come on, Jiya" Okon gently grabbed his arm. "Let's get you home, so you can rest"
"Not until Misao's home with me" Okina stubbornly jerked his arm away.
"Okina!" Omasu protested.
"When Misao comes home" Okina turned to Kenshin. "What do you think happened?"
"I'm not sure" Kenshin frowned. "They may have been attacked."
"Are you sure they didn't attack each other?" Yahiko grinned. "I bet money on Misao"
"This isn't funny!" Kaoru smacked him upside his head.
"They didn't attack each other" Kamatari shook his head. "Misao wouldn't last one minute against Seta"
"What are you saying?" Kaoru paled.
"They were taken by surprise" Kamatari started to walked away.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Sano frowned.
"I'm going to look for them…alone" Kamatari walked away, leaving them in stun silence.
"Do you get the feeling he knows more then he's telling?" Shiro asked.
"Kamatari-kun knows something," Kenshin agreed as Kamatari's slender figure disappeared. " We must trust him."
You have no other choice, Kamatari thought. They were going to have to trust him if they want Misao back in one piece. Grimacing, he walked into the woods towards a certain hideout Shisho had built near here. If there was any chance, Seta had escape that would be the first place he would go to…
