Crystal of Love

RK and YYH don't belong to me.

Author's notes: okay, I write because I got an idea, though, it goes against Kenshin and Misaho in power, but that is how the world works and goes round. And Robin is a nice name, one of the best in the world (but don't you dare call me Robin Hood… hey! That rhymes!).

Chapter 17: Today we kidnap

~*~*~*~*~*

The narks had decided to do something new that night, with a trick they had up their sleeves, because, well, it hadn't been tested yet, but some one upstairs decide to make them do so. So, they were putting everyone in town and the surrounding area in a magical sleep, which would only break at sunrise. And it would put everyone asleep, from gods and goddess, to dragons, fire demons, youkos, and finally mortals; all in a restful slumber.

But, something went wrong… these new comers, despite pictures of their messiah, got side tracked with Reika, the only red headed woman they had ever seen. So not only did Kaoru get taken, but also the Queen who's King isn't all to keen about his beloved and beautiful wife was taken.

And thus, the next morning would not be a very happy one…

…In either worlds…

The two woman where taken to one of the most beautiful rooms of the temple, all Arabian style, with a dash of Egyptian elegance here and there, making the room relaxing and breath taking. But, it would have been much better if the room wasn't guarded by guards who were trained by strict rules and had facial structures that would scare anyone.

"I'm sorry that I got you into this mess," said Kaoru, looking at her mother-in-law for a moment before staring back at the ceiling in boredom. The words were itching to get out for a while now—not only that, but the silence was really getting on her nerves by that time.

"Huh? Its not your fault… we just didn't expect them to have a trick like this," replied Reika, looking back at the other woman before looking back at her hands. "I just hope everyone else is alright."

"I'm sure they are just fine."

"How do you know?"

"Kenshin, Kurama, Hiei, and Misao, along with Akira, Tsuki and Tisha… they are all good fighters, like your husband and Hiko, they will be fine. Its you whom I am worried about. I think I know the fate I shall receive, but for you, it is all a mystery."

"What do they usually do with people from the world above?"

"Kurama-nee became my nanny, and she was an inhabitant from the world above… the others… most were killed by young warriors in training sessions… even I did so, but I swore when I got to know the world above never to kill, from nark to human."

"I see…"

"But they were all male! I'm sure…!"

"Any life with out my dear Misaho is worthless…"

"Love is something to live on, ne?"

"Yes. We were never meant to be because of our heritage, but we got together."

"Just like me and Kenshin?"

"Huh?"

"I was born into this world, where I was meant to stay and never see Kenshin, but I was able to do so."

"Yes, I guess it would be the same."

"Where the hell is my wife?!" both father and son said, their eyes a matching gold as they glared at everyone who was trying to hide—which was everyone, but Hiko.

"They were taken by the Narks to the world below, by putting us all to sleep with a spell that wouldn't brake until morning," said Tisha, trying his not to look into eyes that could fry him on the spot.

"Then we have to go get them back!" Is it me or are they still speaking in unison? They're still speaking in unison…

"You two can stop doing that now," said Hiko, his eyebrow twitching as he gazed at his baka tomodachi and baka deshi.

"Stop what?" Misaho asked at the same time Kenshin said, "Oro."

"Never mind," The two were back to their original eye color.

Sano looked at Kenshin a moment, along with Yahiko, an evil spark in both their eyes. They had a plan. "Hey Kenshin? Come here a moment."

Kenshin shrugged and walked over to his friend, not seeing Yahiko stick his foot out and tripping the red head. "Orororororo…" Kenshin mumbled as he lay, face flat into the ground.

"Hahahahahaha!!!!" Sano and Yahiko burst out laughing as they watched their friend, soon other people caught on, except the red head's father who was wondering if the word was just as genetic as their ability to change their eye color when mad.

"This is getting us no where," said Hiko, shaking his head before taking a swing of sake.

"Okay, and your card is an ace of spades!" said Kaoru, holing up the black playing card with a triumphant smile as Reika and the small servant girl clapped in awe.

Getting bored in a room where you were watched constantly and have nothing to do… well, they got one thing done.

A bunch of games were sent, as well as a small servant girl the two talked with and played dames with to pass the time… and this also gave the temple time to see what the time in the world above had done to their messiah. And they found a child hidden in a woman's body—but she could also be a woman at some times, like when she threatened a guard to let them have something to do, other then talk to and threaten the guards—which was mostly Kaoru's doing.

The guards had lost their stone like faces in that, for she scared them, knowing from stories that Omochi had passed on from Mita about her anger and how deadly it was. That was the only reason they followed her orders like they did—in a hurry and in fear.

But Kaoru was worrying about something, not just Reika's safety, but about her long awaited meeting with Mita… and what would happen during it.

"Kaoru-sama! You are supposed to see the high priest of the temple now," said a tall man, or at least she thought he was a man, though, with his long silky black hair and soft pink eyes, he could have been a she.

Kaoru stood up and gave her mother-in-law a smile and left the room, allowing the man to lead her away.

I awaited her deep with in, Omochi bowed and left us to our selves, and I knew that I would have to be on my guard.

"Mita-san, I never would have guessed we would be seeing each other again after such a long time," she said, bowing, as if mocking me with her beauty and my oldness, complete with wrinkles.

"You know I could kill your friend in an instance, and yet, here you are, taunting me like you have always done," I said, seating my head on my fist as I leaned on my chair, eyeing her. I couldn't hear her thoughts; she kept her mind from me like all the times before, making impossible for me to know what she was thinking. My hidden power of mind reading, and I did so with all my followers—not including Omochi, for I know I have a total control over it.

"Alright, just don't lay a finger on her—you or any one else in this place!" She looked at me, death promised in her beautiful eyes if it was broken.

"As you wish milady."

"They will most likely start to summon the Darkness now that they have her in their grasp," said Akira, "and if he is brought back to life, not only will the world below be in danger, but so will this one."

"Well, we know how to get down there, but who is going?" said Hiko, "I know I am."

"I'm not just about to let them get away from taking my soul away," said Kenshin.

"My wife is down there… and she is everything to me, so I'm going to fight and get her back," said Misaho, his eyes going back to amber.

Kao-chan is my little sister, and I wish for her to have a happy life, thought Kurama and she looked over at Hiei who shook his head yes, as if in agreement. "We're going as well."

"Same here," said Sano.

"I agree with the rooster head, sides, you'll need a medic on hand," said Megumi, paying no attention to Sano's arguing about his nickname.

"She's a friend of mine, and our messiah all the same, so we'll gladly go," said Tsuki and Tisha. Enishi reached out and took her hand, a sign that he was going wherever she was.

"I'm not just about to let an evil into this world," said Misao, Aoshi looked at her for a moment.

"I'm going as well," he said.

"I'll go to," said Tomoe.

"No you aren't," said Akira.

"And why can't I? Because you say so?"

"No, I want you to stay safe! And here you are safe!"

"Safe? But what about you? You won't be safe."

Akira had no answer to that.

"What if you die? What will I do then? I can't live with out you…"

"Oh… neither can I Tomoe… it's just…" The two pulled themselves into a hug.

"Alright, they're both going," said Misaho, everyone agreeing but quietly, as to not disturb them.

"Um… I'll stay here," said Yahiko, "To protect everyone here."

"That's a good idea," said Kenshin, making Yahiko smile.

"Okay, so we can now go."
