Disclaimer: I hate these. I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.

Hey guys! Thanks for the reviews and this is only the 3rd chapter! Yall rock! Oh, and as for Kenshin being mean, he's just a huge wreck because he can't tell Kaoru his feelings. Even Kenshin has his limits so this is not OOC

-

"Let me go! Let go!" Kaoru told the drunk panicky, trying and failing miserably to get away. The more she struggled, the tighter his grip got. They stopped in front an abandoned market place. The sign said 'Takanike Inn' but was replaced with another sign reading 'Love Hotel'. * THIS can't be good!* Kaoru thought and began regretting running away from the dojo in the middle of the night.

The man snagged her along and stopped at an old desk where a man no older than 45 was sitting.

" Nice one, Logan. This is by far the prettiest one yet." The guy said.

"Thanks. Found her running out in the streets. Heh, she must've been look'n for someone ta get horny with." The man Kaoru guessed was Logan said.

Then mid-40 year old man reached across and lifted up the bottom of her kimono.

"Not bad body, either. I wonder how well she screams?" he said with a sly smile.

"You'll find out after I've had my way with her." Logan smirked, winking at her.

"Can't wait,"

-

Oh, Kami, where is she?* Kenshin thought, his eyes brimming with tears.* Please let her be ok. Oh Kami-sama, please. . . *

He stopped soundly and glared around the streets. Then he heard a
scream. *That sounded like Kaoru! * he thought desperately.(A/N Oh boy,
is he ever wrong. . .)

Using his god-like speed, Kenshin raced to where the sound came from.
He stopped in front of an old abandoned inn where a plump man was
sitting at a nearby desk.

"Excuse me, but I think I heard a someone in here," Kenshin breathed,
trying to regain his breath. The man looked up at him and lifted an
eyebrow.

"Oh, yes, that was just a woman screaming. Where's yours by the way?
To get in, you need one," the man replied.

"What kind of inn is this anyway?" Kenshin asked without thinking.

" A horny inn. Bring a woman in and you can have fun ALL night long.
My friend Logan just came in a moment ago with some raven-haired broad.
She smelled good too. Like jasmine. Couldn't have been younger than 17,
18. Yes, Logan does have a good eye for sexy women." The man chuckled.

It didn't take Kenshin long to realize the man was talking about
Kaoru. * If he touches her, I'll. . .*

"Which room did they go in?" he asked, not wanting to *ahem * walk in
on someone.

"Third floor, last door to your right. Can't miss it. Only green door
in the whole damn inn," the man said, "But you can't go without a- HEY!
Come back here!"

Kenshin took off before the man could finish his sentence. * If I'm
even a second late, I'll kill myself!*

"AAAH!" Kaoru cried as the man forcefully threw her on the futon. The
man bent down, his face less than a centimeter from hers. Grabbing her
wrists, he held her in place over her head.

"Don't worry doll. You won't regret this," he breathed. Switching so
that his left hand held both of hers in place, Logan began undoing her
obi. She began to squirm so it made it harder.

"Quite moving, damn it!" Logan yelled and smacked her across the face
with the back of his hand. She began to breathe hard, all the air gone
from her lungs. She desperately tried to catch her breath but it was
hard for her to do so with someone twice her size on top of her.

Why did I run? Why? Oh, I wish Kenshin were here!* she thought, scared. Logan couldn't undo the obi, so he went for where her kimono came together at the top. Hooking a finger he began to run it down her chest. He only got far enough that cleavage was showing.

"Not bad babe. Now let's see how well you scream. I've never had sex
with a virgin before. This outta be good," he whispered in her ear and
opened her kimono at the bottom. Then he settled himself between her
legs.

"NOOOO!" Kaoru screamed. Just then, the door slammed open and there
stood Kenshin. (A/N What? You think I'd actually let her be raped? I'm
not THAT cruel!)

Kenshin immediately went amber eyed. All he could do was stare at the
man who had HIS Kaoru pinned down against her will. With three long
strides, Kenshin grabbed the man by his shoulders and threw him across
the room.

"Kenshin!" Kaoru gasped out of breath. Kenshin didn't even hear her.
He went straight to Logan and began punching him. Every time he
squirmed to get away, Kenshin pulled him back for more. Finally, when
Logan was out cold, he stood up and took out his sword.

"You WILL pay!" and with that he flipped his sword to the sharp side.

"Kenshin, no!" Kaoru yelled and threw herself on his back. (A/N Yo,
this ain't baseball! Stop with the throwing!)

It took him a second, but he gained his composure back. He turned
around to face Kaoru, his eyes the normal, warm violet Kaoru
remembered. Then he saw the bruise on her right cheek and began
considering killing the man again.

"Please don't . . . don't waste your vow on a man like him. Please. .
." Kaoru cried burying her face into his chest.

"Kaoru, I. . . I thought I lost you. . . I'm so sorry!" Kenshin said
and placed his head in her hair. (A/N Aww, precise memories!)

"I love you Kenshin. . . more than anything else in the world. . ."
Kaoru said.

"I love you too. I thought I lost the person most important to me
tonight. . ." Kenshin said. Just then, they heard the clock chime. (A/N
I don't know if they had chiming clocks back then, but this is my story
and I say they do!)

"We should head back to the dojo, that we should," Kenshin said. Kaoru
nodded in agreement and was about to take a step forward but Kenshin
picked her up.

"You've had a rough night as it is. I'll take you home, that I will,"
Kenshin said sweetly. Kaoru was kind of sleepy. Trying to escape a
rapist is hard work you know.

Stepping over the pervert, Kenshin made his way to the front of the
inn. The inn keeper stepped in his way.

"You lousy no good red headed bastard! I told you know going in
without a girl! Why, if you come back here again, I'll-" the keeper
yelled.

"Hang on," Kenshin whispered into Kaoru's ear. He spread his legs out
and with one hard kick towards the ground, Kenshin leaped over the man.
That shut the man up. And Kenshin just strolled on ahead.
