Chapter 11: What now?

Kaoru, Enishi, Sanosuke, Souzou, Katsu and a whole bunch of other people all sat around in a stuffy boardroom, yelling and screaming at each other. No one knew what to do or say, nothing made sense. Tokon--from Dr. Shi's followers--had said that they had an impostor running their group, and her had just managed to get away from being watched by a spy. "The man is from the BC Rebels," Tokon had said, "And everyone is somewhat afraid of him cause he has a temper."

Everything had gotten out of hand though when the question of what they were going do about it came up.

"Every body just shut up!" Souzou yelled, and everyone settled down into their chairs and looked at him. A vein had appeared on the side of his head, showing his head, showing his anger and displeasure on what was going on. "Enishi's idea is a plain and simple. Say it!"

"We fight them, and bring them back. Either alive...or dead."

Megumi walked up to Hiko when she entered the classroom, getting his attention. She just told him Black Crest. The man sighed and told Megumi he would explain it when everyone got there.

"Some one came up to me today, and said Black Crest," he begun, looking about everyone. "And I, to say the least, was surprised even if I didn't show. I don't want to know where they found out about this group, and hope they know what they are getting into to. But, the Black Crest--or BC for short--is a cult, a place where people who have elemental type magic go to train in it. Like a dojo. This dojo-cult has been run by one person and one person alone for thousands of years and no one knows why--her pupils don't ask I am sure--and we don't know why she runs it either."

Megumi's mind went into frenzy, was Sano in this group? What about Kaoru?

"The most I know about the followers is this: either you live there, or you live on earth. Any questions?"

"You don't know anything else about her followers? What happens to them?" asked Megumi.

"No."

"Why tell us this?" asked Saitou.

"So I don't have to repeat it twice. One of these days you are going to find out about them, why not now? Any more questions? No good. Now, lets get one with out regular schedule... Sano, Kaoru and Enishi aren't here?"

"Sano said something about a TH meeting, I'm sure Kaoru-chan and Enishi-san are there as well," said Megumi.

"Is Sano the one who said Black Crest to you?"

"Hai."

"What else did he say?"

"Black Crest rebels and Kaoru-chan's and many others' have their lives on the line."

"Death? Why death?" Kaoru hissed as she sat in darkness, as the black turned to a beautiful garden, not one at the BC dojo, but a different one. "I dislike it."

Kaoru sat down on a rock with a sigh. There was nothing she could do about Enishi's idea, everyone, including her because of the life--voted yes on it...and it was the only one given.

"Damn." Sitting back, she looked up at the sky. She was back at her apartment building, in the garden at the back. It was a beautiful garden, but it didn't have the mysterious feel that the BC dojo had.

Getting up, she went into the building and headed up to her apartment, where she found everything in order. Her couch, small coffee table and flat t.v were all nicely set in place. She liked it small, when it was just for one person. Kenshin's apartment was nice when it came to more then one person. Opening one of the many shoji doors. She came upon piles of clothes. Picking up some leathery black things, she went to the bathroom to change.

Kaoru came out wearing a long skirt that had two slits along the side, and a vest like shirt that was tied a single string that criss-crossed along the front of her chest. She hated the outfit, but she would need it where she was going. Leather and bondage type clothing was popular. Putting pins in her hair, safety pins in her ears, a spiked dog color with matching brackets on her neck and wrist and a pair of high heeled, up to knee black leather boots. She left.

"Hell," Sano cursed, hitting a tree with all his might, watching it fall.

"Sano, you know you don't have to come with me," said Kaoru as she walked into the forest surrounded clearing. Sano, like her, was wearing black leather. Tight, but not as revealing as the girl.

"No, I'm not letting you go there alone."

"My knight in shinning armor?"

"Haha, very funny."

The two left, there one minuet, gone the next.

"The BC rebels are very dangerous," said Enishi, his form was at the door, leaning against the doorframe, his eyes closed as if in thought. "They just take and take and take. No real reason to do so, but for fun and honor from their leader."

"And what is Kaoru's part in this?" said Kenshin, the red head had been listening, but his senses went haywire when Megumi said Kaoru.

"She is a part of the BC--but not the Rebels. More of those who wish to be living with everyone they love on Earth, instead of the dimension in which the BC dojo is in."

"How does she and all these others relate to the BC Rebels?" asked Hiko.

"The Rebels want them dead."

"Why should I?" hissed the man, the knife at his throat coming close.

"Ah, come on Nazika," said Sano, smirking evilly, a single fang appearing.

"Yeah, Nazi-chan, why not?" said Kaoru, knife touching his throat, a thin red line of blood appeared.

"You little bit--" Nazika started, but stopped as the knife stayed where it was.

"Ah, such harsh language to say in front of a lady," Kaoru said, tilting the man's head back, more blood coming forth.

"You're no lady!"

"I'm female, and it is all the same. Now, why don't you be a good boy and give us the info we need."

"So they are after tanuki's life? As well as others?" said Saitou, staying calm despite the news they were getting.

"Hai Kaoru was attacked a few days ago. AS well as spoke with Lady Retai. She and Sano are now getting--"

"Were." Sano cut Enishi off as he showed up at the door. The leather was gone, replaced by his somewhat normal attire. "And we got it, though Nazika was being stubborn, like always." He held up a folder, packed with papers. "We got several copies. One for Jou-chan, one for me, one for you, one for the TH, one for Dr. Shi... and I am instructed to give one to Hiko."

"Why me?" asked Hiko.

"Trust me, several people will be wanting BC Rebels dead, and all of you will need to know how to handle them." Sano handed Enishi the folder in his hand before giving one to Hiko and sitting down next to Megumi.

"Where's Kaoru?"

Kaoru scrubbed herself with the wash cloth, practically taking off skin. She hated visiting Nazika, especially when she was trying to see how long she could last without blood. Sides, his castle smelled like the dead, really. The man always had dead bodies in all the closets! A shudder went down her spine as she remembered now she found that out. Snapping herself out of that thought, she continued to wash herself.

"Home, most likely taking a bath," Sano answered. "Probably won't feel clean for a while. I don't"

"You aren't leaving until this meeting is over," Hiko said, glaring at his student. Kenshin just wished time would go by faster.

End Chapter 11

Author's Notes: Sano and Kaoru did a dimension hop, and if any didn't get the pun of Nazika's name, he's a German. And he doesn't all to like following Kaoru's "orders" because he's a sexist and hasn't liked her sense she beat him in a game of… old maid (he didn't really want to fight a girl). The dimension they went to is pretty much a dark one, where Kaoru in that world is kinda like a "dog" that obeys it master because of two reasons 1) she loves him (even if he's like Battousai 24/7 and sometimes beats her) and 2) he owns her, really. It was the fight to get out of this dimension that involved no actual fighting, just games.
