"Doll." Followed up to finish his sentence.

The girl's blue eyes slowly changed to cobalt in colour. She looked at him in anger. 'Doll? DOLL?!!'She thought

"What do you mean DOLL? I'll show you what this doll's got. Be prepared Hitokiri Battousai!!" With that she jumped away from Kenshin and unsheathe both her Kodachi. She disappear into thin air in a moment.

"MATTE!!!" Kenshin yelled. But to no prevail, before anything could be stop, drops of blood was seen

December 25, 2001

Las Vegas

Blood was dripping at the tip of the Kodachis. Slowly absorbing the scene in front of her, the girl's cobalt eye's changed to the sparkling innocent blue eyes.

"Go…Gomen nasai… watashi…" She started to stammer. She knew little of what to do. Seeing what she has just did, she felt terribly guilty. She quickly went to the sides of Kenshin as she signaled him to seat down so she could tend to his wounds.

She tore the bottom of her dress, in order to wipe off and stop the blood from flowing. She slowly left up the bangs that covered his face. She saw a cross-shape injury on his left cheek with blood coursing down the path which she has created. She wince at the injury.

Kenshin acted strangely calm at that moment. He didn't bother to lift his head up or even move a limb. He than smelled the scent of air around him. 'Jasmine… she smells like Jasmine' Then his trains of thought was broken down to the reality when he heard this girl spoke.

"Ano… Battousai san, I'm really sorry to have hurt you. But please believe me, I mean you know harm. If you want I can ask Megumi there to heal you. She's an expert in both medicine and poison. But I guess no matter what I do this injury will hardly disappear without leaving a scar. I'm sorry" Kenshin merely shook his head.

"Name…" Kenshin started.

Surprised by his action, she smiled.

"Kaoru, Kamiya Kaoru. People outside there calls me… Hitokiri Kageyuki. What about you? Hitokiri Battousai is just your nick right?" She answered and asked him another question without taking her eye's off the injury.

After a few seconds of silence, He spoke.

"Kenshin, Himura Kenshin da."

"Sou ka… Ken… shin" Kaoru tried out saying his name.

Kaoru was caught off guard as Kenshin took this time to yank off the mask Kaoru was wearing. Shock by his actions, Kaoru quickly jumped away from Kenshin. Kaoru face didn't lift up from the ground. Than slowly she stated to look up.

Kenshin couldn't help but to feel excitement crawling about his body, as he wanted badly to see this so call Kaoru's face or the so call 'Legendary lady Hitokiri -- Hitokiri Kageyuki'. Many said that no man has ever live to see Kageyuki's face, as she would kill them afterwards, Some said she was hideous, others said she was total beauty. No one knew who and how she looks like. Kenshin was set to find it out, even if it took his life.

But little did he know that Kaoru had another mask on her face. This mask only showed her mouth and eyes.



"What the hell?" Laughter was followed up by Kaoru. But then gun shots were heard from a distance.

Kenshin and Kaoru's head shot up to look and the situation.

"Misao, Megumi… Both of you first go back to our headquarter, I would follow up to the both of you later on. So GO!!"

"Hai!" The both of them said in unison. And in a few seconds, the other two mysterious girl called Misao and Megumi went into the shadow of the night.



"KENSHIN!!" A guy with black spiky hair shouted towards Kenshin.

"Battousai san, looks like your partners are looking for you. Well I gotta go now. Mata ne" With that she turned around an walked away.

"Matte…" Kenshin called out without knowing the reason why. Kaoru turned around curiously. Than it suddenly dawned on her.



"SOU DA" Kaoru shouted out to no one in particular. Then she walk slowly towards Kenshin. Unsure of what Kaoru had in mind, Kenshin didn't let his guard down.



She continued to walk towards him until they were only an inch away. She went up to his ear and whispered "Merry Christmas"

With that she gave him a peck on his injured cheek. Than she pulled away.

"This is my Christmas gift to you. I hope I'll get mine soon. I'll be waiting ne anata."

With that she also disappears into the darkness of the night.



Sanosuke and Aoshi finally reached Kenshin. Panting heavily Sanosuke said in Between his breath. "That was one heck of a Christmas na Kenshin."

"Aa" was the only reply as he trace his cheek with his fingers where Kaoru just kiss.

'Kaoru, I promise you I'll give you a Christmas gift alright and it's going to be a big one… I promise." Kenshin's lips curved up into a smile.

'Koishii' was what last thing he thought in his mind, before going back to reality.
