CHAPTER 1

Once there was a sorcerer who possessed a powerful medallion. When used to its fullest, it was said that it can control the will of another.This has been a story passed on generations to generations. Many believed it was just a bedtime story, and soon almost no one mentioned it anymore. However, now... it may finally be proven to be true.

------------------------

Kenshin was the first one to wake up, as usual. He was almost finished setting up breakfast when Kaoru came to the kitchen followed by Yahiko. "Good morning, Kaoru-dono." said kenshin with his usual smile. "Good morning Kenshin, it certainly is a beautiful morning." replied Kaoru. "Hey busu, I hope you're not planning to train me today because I'm going to the akabeko after breakfast, I promised Tsubame that I'll be there to help her today." Yahiko said with his mouth full.

Kaoru glared at the boy. "Well, if you keep calling me such rude names, then I might just train you, however…" A small smile crawled on her lips. "It's such a beautiful day to pay attention with the undeniably wrong names you call me so I'll let you get away this time, besides Tsubame's such a nice girl, she'll need a slave like you."

"Hey! Better take that back, you ugly woman!!" Kaoru stood up, ready to hit the kid, when Kenshin decided to say something.

"Now, now, you don't want to ruin such a pretty day, won't you. Let's just enjoy our meal that sesha has made, de gozaru ka?"

"Okay Kenshin, I'll let this pass only because you said so" Then, Yahiko stuck out his tougue at Kaoru. "Hey I saw that! Why you!!---"

"Hey, hey! How are you guys doing?"

"Good morning Sano, why don't you join us for breakfast." Kenshin politely asked.

"You know what my answer is." In less than a second, Sano was at the table munching on whatever food was left.

"I'll be going now, I promised I'd be there before nine." Yahiko stood up ready to leave.

"Yahiko wait!" Kaoru yelled. "I'm going with you. I'm going to the market to buy something. I'll walk with you." she added.

"Whatever busu." he said as he continued to walk towards the gate.

"I'll go with you Kaoru-dono." Kenshin offered.

"There's no need Kenshin, I'll be back in a while. I need you to do the laundry and clean the dojo, all right?" Kaoru asked.

"But Kaoru-dono?"

"Hey don't worry, I can handle myself, besides, you have to keep an eye on Sano, he might barge into the kitchen and eat everything we have." Kaoru giggled.

" Hey, I heard that!" Sano said.

"Kaoru, are you coming or not?" Yahiko asked from outside.

"I'm coming, I'm coming. Bye Kenshin. Bye Sano, See you by lunch." And with that she rushed to Yahiko, and walked to town.



It has almost been an hour since the two left when there was a knock at the dojo gates.

"I'll open it." Kenshin said, loud enough to let Sano, who was lying lazily at the porch, hear it.

"Oh, Saito its you." he said with a frown. Whenever Saito came, he brought bad news. "What is it now Saito?"

"Hello, Battousai. it's been a while. Perhaps you know that I don't usually drop by for a chit chat, I came here to warn you."

"Why don't you come in." with that Kenshin led Saito inside where Sano is. Sano sat up abruptly once he saw who the visitor was. "What is he doing here?" asked an irritated Sano.

"I didn't come here to see you rooster boy." said Saito sarcastically, which made Sano growl. "This concerns the Kamiya girl."

"What about Kaoru-dono?" an alarmed Kenshin suddenly asked.

"Well, a group of people, were not yet sure, perhaps a syndicate, are kidnapping young ladies around 18-20 years of age. They're target are the ones with long black hair. They have been sighted around this area. So I just came here to warn you. better keep an eye on the girl. They're motives are still unknown."

"Thank you Saito. Your information is valued. I'll go out with you to look for Kaoru. She should be on her way home by now." The three men were about to stand up when someone suddenly barged through the gates. It was Yahiko.

"Kenshin, Kenshin……..Kaoru….she was…..Kaoru…" Yahiko was catching his breath, he wasn't making sense, he was in panic, which made Kenshin very worried. Kenshin and Sano approached the boy at once and asked, "What happened to Kaoru, where is she."

"She was about to come home, she stopped by the akabeko to say hi before she goes home, when suddenly, a number of men grabbed her. She tried to fight but they were too strong for her, nor for me. They were big and skilled people. Then, a carriage suddenly drove by, they hopped on it bringing Kaoru with them."

Once the boy finished saying the current events, Kenshin was furious, his eyes have turned to amber, anger can be seen through them.

"I will file a report a once and gather my troop. In the meantime, better start looking for her
Battousai. This ain't gonna be easy." Saito said then went off.
