Chapter four:

The next day was bright. And Kaoru awoke with the sunshine on her face, and next to her sister, she felt so relived to know that Misao was right next to her, safe and sound.

'Don't worry my sweet Misao; I'll do everything in my power to protect you.' She though while caressing Misao's head.

"Hmm…Kaoru-nee" said Misao waking slowly. "What happen last night? You were so chocked, so broken…I was so worried about you" stated Misao while hugging her sister.

"Oh my sweet Misao, don't worry. Everything is alright now. I'll take care of you…I'll not let anything happen to you…I promise" Kaoru said to Misao while holding her like a small child that needed protection.

"Maa...Kaoru, I can take care of myself." She said sounding helpless to make Kaoru understand that she is a grown woman now, not a small child that she protected since childhood.

"Of course you can, little Misao." Kaoru answered smiling to Misao.

"Maa…you don't take me seriously…" said Misao not too happy.

"Hai Hai…Mi-chan" said Kaoru joking.

"Kaoru-nee-san….enough" Said Misao not liking. "Let's get dressed…it's not time to be fooling around."

Saying that Misao got off the bed and went to choose a nice dress to Kaoru.

Kaoru could only smile seeing her beloved sister so cheerful like always.

'Don't worry Misao…I'll be always here.' Kaoru thought with a smile on her face.

As the time was passing, Kaoru did everything in her power to keep that nasty 'future husband of her' away of Misao. And she noticed how angry he was the first month. But as the time was passing he became happier. And Kaoru didn't like the way he was eyeing her, the last moths.

One night after dinner, Kaoru intended to go to sleep, but instead of going to her room she started walking in the hollow corridors, thinking how would be her life after the weeding. She was not certain that she would resist the wedding, he was everything she hated and she now knew how a fly felt trapped in the web of a spider. She was terrified and she didn't have much time left. She definitely didn't felt any better after knowing her fiancé better, she only felt more and more scared. Suddenly Kaoru felt a hand grabbing her. And suddenly she was in a room, a familiar room, the same room that her fiancé had violently raped the young maid.

"Well…Well…What a nice surprise, isn't it?" hearing that nasty voice she recognised who was his owner. Her fiancé.

"A lady like you shouldn't be wandering through the corridors at this time of night. You know it's late and you don't know you can find on the corridors." He finished mischievously

"Well my lord…I though of your castle as a safe place" answered Kaoru trying to not show any signs of fear, but honestly, she was not liking her position.

"Ohh but it is…" he said not liking very much her answer "But that don't change the fact that it's still not a good hour to a young and respected lady be up. What were you doing at this late? Perhaps hiding a young maid in your accommodation?" he asked slyly.

Kaoru was shocked. Her wide eyes staring at him "Nani?" she couldn't say anything more

"You don't think that I don't know that you were protecting your maid all this time??" he laughed "Silly and naïve you may be, my lady. But soon you shall not be anymore. And you will not protect her…anymore" he smirked "You will be mine. And so your sweetie little maid."

"No…You can't do that…You will be married to me…You have to respect me, to be faithful…" she said felling her voice losing everything.

"Oh my darling. I can do everything that I want, after all I'm the King." He laughed like a maniac "Don't worry my darling, now you may rest in peace…because soon enough will be our wedding…and I want to see my beautiful bride in her best looks" he said starting to loose his grip on her "But don't forget, after our wedding, everything will be much better…and then there will be no place for hiding."

As he said that he turned around and disappeared on the corridor laughing like a psycho.

Kaoru felt her legs going numb and fell on the ground. She felt the panic rising more and more, and she could not do anything. Or could she?

'I have to run away' she tough

Thinking this away she run to her room, and locked the door.

'Yeah I have to do it…I only have more a week. I'll do it, I'll grab Misao and get out of this hell once and for all…' she thought of that and went to bed.

Tomorrow she would find a plan to succeed.

As the days went by, the security of the castle become tighter. She was so scared that she couldn't find any exit. She would be married to that bastard and her sweet Misao was going to be a concubine.

'Gosh…I really have to do something' she tough terrified

Since that last talk, Kaoru refused to dinne with her fiancé, she couldn't even look at him. Now she felt more than hatred toward him.

But today was different day she was going to do the possible and the impossible to remove the horrid idea of taking her sister as a concubine, after all tomorrow was her wedding day and she had to make sure that she could protect Misao from that ville creature.

'Yes…that's it…I'll talk to him tonight over dinner. I will make the possible and the impossible to make him back his filthy mind.'

She was determined.

In the mean while, Battousai and his tropes were more than ready to attack the castle.

"That pig will pay for using my land for his filthy traffic" he though

As he climbed on the horse he saw his two friends joining him.

"Hey Kenshin, so we gonna stop the wedding or attack tonight?"

"I really don't like to wait you know…" answered Battousai

"So shall I send the tropes now?" asked Aoshi

"No…at sunset we attack…we have to let the man at least taste his last food" he said mischievously

As he said that Sano gave the last instructions toward the troops happily like a bird, because now he was going to have much fun. His friend was going to finally break ties with that corrupt bastard that was abusing of them and that made him feel good. And, of course, they would play the rescuers of the little Kamiya girl.

'Oh kami…what can I say? I just love soap operas' he tough felling like he was going to laugh 'And if she makes my type…hmmm who knows….maybe I can take her' he started laughing like crazy. "Now that fox will see that I don't need her for anything" he said that loud and clear continuing laughing like crazy all alone.

"Hey Aoshi, what's happening with Sano. He seems like he has finally lost it" asked Battousai to Aoshi

"He thinks that the girl is going to be so grateful to him, for saving her that she will do everything he wants and then he can make Megumi jealous" answered Aoshi

"He just doesn't learn" conclude Battousai feeling that Sano didn't have cure. 'That only will made Megumi angrier so she will make his life in a living hell….oh well, he will eventually learn…someday' and he continued eyeing his goal in the horizon as Sano made a fool of himself.
