Chapter 10

Kaoru was jarred awake by the train stopping and looked around her. Picking up her head and rubbing her eyes she wondered if they were there already. Had she slept the whole way? Looking over she saw Kenshin with his eyes shut and blushed as she realized she had been sleeping on him. Turning towards the window she looked out. She could see Kyoto was just beginning to appear. They were almost there. Kaoru was nervous to where they would be going and who they would be around. She only knew Kenshin and feared she would be left alone or worse kept in locked up like a child. The thought of being held like a prisoner infuriated her and she was not going to be a willing prisoner if that was the case. Turning back from the window she slumped and sighed. Kenshin had been watching her from the corner of his eye and she hadn't noticed. She woke up and seemed to be agitated. He watched her nervously wring her hands and then ball her hands into fists. What was his little pet thinking about? He watched her turn around and sighed. Curiosity getting the best of him he spoke up.

"What are you so nervous about?"

Kaoru's head shot up and looked over at him.

"What do you mean? I am not nervous. I am just fine."

Kenshin's eyebrow shot up at her sharp tone.

"You're a bad liar kaoru. Stop worrying! I will kill anyone who lays a hand on you."

Kaoru looked at him with an annoyed look. He was as bad as megumi for telling her what she was thinking and it was annoying.

"I'm not worried. How much longer until we get to Kyoto?"

"10 maybe 15 minutes."

Nodding Kaoru slumped into the seat and closed her eyes and let her thoughts go free. Kenshin watched her and knew she was not happy about coming to Kyoto. He also knew she was not going to like being held inside while he was out doing assassinations. He had a feeling she was going to be a handful and he would enjoy dealing with her.

-Enishi's-

Enishi was pissed, no he was beyond pissed. They had watched the ship and the train just to be on the safe side. They never boarded the ship and Enishi's men never saw them get on the train. How incompetent could they get? It's not hard to find people! Slamming his hands down on his desk he looked up to see his men standing in front of his desk shaking.

"Now explain to me how none of you saw them leave on the train or the ship or even leave the dojo when you were supposed to follow them and get the girl."

Enishi rubbed his forehead as they all tried to talk at once and muttered excuses.

"ENOUGH! You all get out! I will let you know what our next step is. I warn you if you fail me again I will make you all suffer miserable slow deaths."

Nodding and pushing each other out of the room they shut the door behind them. Enishi sat down and propped his feet up. If he couldn't get Kaoru here he would just have to follow her and the Battousai. Getting out paper he wrote a message to his sister Tomoe. She would tell him if they were in Kyoto. Writing another letter after that to his contact in Kansai. Placing them in envelopes he called in one of his man to send them out. Once he found where they went he would start working out his master plan. If he couldn't get her back here then he would go to her. Either way she couldn't escape him.
