(A/N: Thanks for the reviews. And yeah I love romantic vampire stories also.. I got this idea from the book 'Vampire Diaries' by L.J Smith. It is the best series of books I have ever read. There are four books in the series and each one of them is fantastic. You should also read
her other books about the Night world and her other series, Secret Circle which is a romance amoung witches and magical powers which is the second best compared to Vampire Diaries.)





Kenshin glanced at Aoshi, calmly. "And this slayer, how come he hasn't attacked any vampires for two hundred years?" Aoshi glanced back at Kenshin, "I do not know. It is a mystery." Suddenly the heard a loud shatter and they all stood up. Kenshin slowly stood and narrowed his eyes in the darkness, focusing.
His vision was very clear in the dark but he couldn't see anyone. All he saw were broken shards of window glass. "What was that?" A panicked voice called. "Quiet, Ataki." Kenshin shushed him. "Come out, invader." Kenshin called out into the darkness. But no one came. Kenshin couldn't sense any presence. The vampires looked at each other, with raised distress auras.


Kaoru was still sitting at the window sill, laying her head in her hands, looking up at the full moon humming a slow tune, while singing in her head. Then a slow creak of a door made her sit up and look towards the door. Nobody was there. "Hello? Anyone there?"
Then she felt eyes gazing at her from behind and she turned. Her scream was caught in her throat and she stumbled backwards. A man was sitting on the sill, gazing at her, curiously. Kaoru got up and looked the man over. He was handsome. He had dark short hair with crystal clear green eyes and fine features along with a nice complextion. The man smirked, "Now why would the vampire battousai take in a women like you? I don't see anything special." He said in a cocky tone. Kaoru frowned, "Who the hell are you? What are you doing in here?"
The man got up and stood, still watching her with that curious look, taking in how she looked. "Why are you staring at me like that. Didn't you hear me? What the hell are you doing in here?" The man tilted his head, "Why I came to rescue you, women." Kaoru scowled, "My name is Kaoru for your information. And I don't need to be rescued thank you very much, I can do it on my own." She didn't like how fresh he was. The man laughed, "And what do you think will happen if you get caught? You think the vampire battousai will give you mercy? You can't trust them, my dear Kaoru." He grinned slowly.
Kaoru fell silent. "Now all I have to figure out at this point is why the battousai gave mercy to YOU on this very night.. There must be something about you." The man took a step closer and she took a step back. "What? I'm not going to bite." He smirked. Kaoru looked down, around for a weapon but found none. "Stay away from me!" She shouted. The man then leaped forward.

Kenshin felt it as it hit him like a dagger. Kaoru's rising distress aura. "Kenshin-" Ataki began then stopped. "Where did Kenshin go? He disappeared?" Aoshi just sneered.

Kaoru struggled, trying to get out of his grasp. He put her over his shoulder and was about to jump out the window. Her hands were tied together with rope and a white cloth was tied around her mouth. Her cries for help were only muffled. Then she heard a cold voice behind them. "Stop right there." He had said slowly. The man who had put her over his shoulders turned and narrowed his eyes. "Why Kenshin, come to save this human? I didn't know you had a heart for humans." Kenshin? Was that his name? Kaoru thought. "Put her down." Kenshin said. "Why? Would you like to battle me for this humans life? How fun." He lifted her off of him and set her down on the floor and stood, facing Kenshin. "Well lets go, vampire battousai."
Kaoru turned and looked at Kenshin and gasped. His eyes were that evil yellow she had seen in the forest. "Shut up." He said as he got into a fighting stance, "I don't have time to fuck around." The man grinned, "Thats what I like to hear." He then too got into a fighting stance and they both glared at each other. Kaoru then got up and stood inbetween them. She looked at them both and managed to peel the white cloth which was tied around her mouth, off with her chin. "Stop it!" Kenshin glared at her, "Out of the way!" Kaoru bit her lip, "You don't have to do this for me.. Kenshin." Kenshin put a puzzled look on and stood, staring at her. "Kaoru-." The man behind Kaoru snorted, "Maybe next time then." And with that he was gone. "H-how did-." Kaoru stuttered. "He must be a vampire.." She whispered. Kenshin walked to the opened window and peered out, "No. That was no vampire, that was something else..." He trailed off.
"Something else?" Kaoru whispered, still shaken up a bit. Kenshin turned and looked at her. Her heart gave a tug as his eyes had changed to the kind violet she had seen when he had taken her. "I will get a servent to help you switch rooms." Kenshin then turned and walked past her towards the doors. "Wait! What about my brother? You said something-." Kenshin cut her off, "Your brother will be with you shortly. You may see some differances in him though." He walked out and closed the doors.
Kaoru just stood there, looking at the closed doors he had just went out with pure confusment, "What does he mean?"


"So what was it?" One of the vampires asked him. "It was a man." He said, then looked at Aoshi who just nodded at him. Kenshin sat down in his chair, "So it was the slayer." He said to himself. "The slayer? The slayer was here?" The vampires hollared. "Yes, and he's fast. Faster then any other vampire I have ever seen." Kenshin told them. Aoshi just sneered, "He's been watching you for a long time now, Kenshin. Studying your every move. I know it was him now. I could feel eyes watching us for the past month."
Kenshin glared, "I see..."
