Enishi grinned at the unconscious form leaning against his body.

"There is no more escape… me dear Kageyuki." Enishi whispered to her ears.

On another picture… Kenshin was somewhere on the road… thinking of Kaoru….

'Kaoru… wait for me… I'm coming…' Kenshin said as he stepped on the accelerator.

'Please kami sama…. Don't let anything happen to her.'

*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*=*

"NO! I am not stepping out of this damn country without KAORU OR MISAO!!!" Megumi shouted at Sanosuke as she made her way to the door just to be punched by the person who opened the door as she flew back to the room. Luckily for her, Sanosuke caught her in time.

'Shit! They are here…' Sanosuke thought as he glared back at the man who did this to her.

"Under the order of Enishi sama, all of you must die." The hooded assassin said with a deadly and warning tone. Despite from the hit she got, Megumi stood up. Her mouth crooked to a half smile.

"Megumi! Are you okay already?" Sanosuke asked in astonishment by her quick recovery. Megumi ignored his question as she revealed needles held in between each fingers.

"We have no time for you! Go back to Enishi and tell him to give Kaoru back to us!" Megumi said as her bangs hide her expression.

"Megumi… let me handle it." Sanosuke offered as he stood in front of her.

"Don't bother me… this man's mine." Megumi demand Sano as she stepped another step forward. Sanosuke stunned to the core as he heard what Megumi had said.

"My orders are only to kill you… I do not know of any Kaoru you talk about!" The assassin answered her question.

"Then die!" Megumi said as she launched forward. She successfully dodged the incoming knife as she counter-attacks him by slashing his arm with the needles. It was only a little cut.

"Is this little cut your best pretty girl?" The assassin asked. Sano was about to hook the man's neck with his prepared nylon strings when Megumi laughed.

"Ohohohohoho… let's see who gets the last laugh." Megumi grinned at the man as fox ears appeared on her head. The man narrowed his eyes.

"What did yo-" Before he could finish his sentence, he felt numb all over. His head was turning and he was terribly hot. He looked up to see two Megumi standing over him and smiling in triumph.

"Now… do you know Kaoru or not?" Megumi asked again as she waved a bottle of substance in front of him.

"The Antidote! Give it to me!" The man struggled under the hole of Megumi.

"Not till you give me the information… we don't have much time ya know… you have about… 5 mins." The man immediately paled knowing what will happen.

"I don't know Kaoru! I only know about Hitokiri Kageyuki… She is kept in the Hotel! 'Ocean Stars Hotel' It is owned by Enishi sama! He kept her there. At the top floor." The assassin said quickly as he reached for the antidote.

Megumi's expression softens as she loosens the hold on the man's hand. Little did she know, that the man still had enough power to launch forwarded to her. Before she could react a gun shot was heard.

Kaoru opened her eyes. Pain invaded her body as she tried to move her hands and legs. She then heard the sounds of chains rustling as she moved.

'Dammit! I'm being tied!' Kaoru thought. Angry of herself being too careless and humiliated as she was one of the assassin's group leader and yet… she made such stupid mistakes. She couldn't forgive herself. How was she going to explain to Katsura.

Kaoru's arms were being tied by chains at each wrist. She was left dangling in mid-air. The strain on her hand was getting more and more obvious as the time ticked away.

"I see you are awake my dear." The familiar voice echoed through the silence room.

She strains her eyes to see who it was. Enishi sat there grinning at her as he sat on his armchair seeping his wine.

"Let me go!" Kaoru demanded as she tried to move her hands but the more she did the more the chains bit into her skin.

"Tsk tsk… that shouldn't be the way to talk to me isn't it… Kageyuki chan." Enishi smirked as he placed his glass down and went in front of Kaoru's form. Kaoru face remained impassive.

"Wait till I get my hands on you Enishi! You'll die! Mark my wo-" Blood seep trail down Kaoru's small mouth. She was being slapped by Enishi before she could finish her sentence.

"I could have made you to be my women, but how can you say that to me? It hurts to listen…" Enishi stopped as he placed his hands on her thigh and slowly slide up.

"Don't touch me!" Kaoru raised her leg and kicked him in the face as his black sunglasses dropped onto the floor broken. Dark brown eyes looked into hers.

"I was intending of giving you a nice time there Kageyuki chan. But then…" Enishi suddenly snapped his fingers as about a dozen of his subordinate came into the room each with a whip in their hands.

Enishi walked towards her but kept his distance. He took one of the whips from the man and said in a dangerous tone.

"Let me remind you who is the more powerful here should I?" with that he brought up the whip and whipped it towards Kaoru.

"KYAA…!!"

Megumi's expression softens as she loosens the hold on the man's hand. Little did she know, that the man still had enough power to launch forwarded to her. Before she could react a gun shot was heard.

"Makimachi Misao to the rescue!" Misao screamed as she blew the mouth of the gun on her hand. Apparently it belonged to Aoshi. His favorite gun that he would never leave without… well except for the shopping trip being threatened by Kenshin.

"Misao!" Megumi ran towards the young girl who had just saved her life.

"We have to save Kaoru! She's at 'Ocean Stars Hotel'!" Megumi explained.

Misao face changed back to a serious one.

"Wakata! I'll get the weapons! Aoshi you call Himura!" Misao called back as she entered her room.

Misao went in and took out Kaoru's kodachis, some remaining kunais along and her sniper.

When she got out of the room everyone of them was in their assassin's apparel. So was her.

She saw Aoshi talking on the cell phone.

'It must be Himura!' Misao's mind thought as she went to the lift.

"We'll try and get there as fast as possible."

"I understand. Ja." Aoshi said as he gave Misao a thumps up sign saying that everything's under control. Now the only thing they need is to get to 'Ocean Stars Hotel' and get back their Kaoru.

The engine of the car slowed down to a stop. Kenshin stepped out of his car and walked silently to the entrance of the hotel in front of him. The hotel which Enishi kept his Kaoru from.

The security stopped Kenshin. Kenshin stopped but kept his gaze on the floor without looking up.

"Sorry sir. But can I see your room key or reservation number please." The security asked.

Kenshin said nothing but stepped another foot forward. The security guard immediately stopped him by pushing him back.

"Sir?" Kenshin then took this chance as he rammed his hilt of the katana into his ribs causing him too be unconscious.

"Have a good night." Kenshin said. He knocks out all the security guard who was inside. He found that each had a gold card kept with them. He took one of it. It might come in handy.

'Kaoru… I'm coming!'


=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-


Drops of blood dripped out of Kaoru's injury. Pools of blood started to form under her form. Kaoru was now unconscious due to the heavy hits she had received. Suddenly cold water was splashed onto Kaoru form. The cold water seeped into her injuries as the agony deepened.

Kaoru opened her heavy eyelids as she winced when her wounds reopened when she tried and moved her body.

Old and new wounds filled her body. Kaoru felt pain all over as Enishi neared her.

"Kageyuki chan… let's see if you remember them…" Enishi said as he pointed to the door. Kaoru raised her head and strain her eyes. There were three people standing there. She felt pain and the loss of blood made her blind for a few second there. She strained her eyes. She saw a lady and two men. She saw the first one. Her eyes widen at the recognition. Her blue eyes changed to black dangerous ones immediately.

"Matsumura Kojirou… teme... you were wi-" Kaoru's sentence was cut off when she finally got a glimpse of the other two.

They still look all the same only a few wrinkles covered their well-featured face. The lady had tears formed in her eyes while the man averted Kaoru's gaze as he looked away with his gaze on the ground. Kaoru's black eyes stared unbelievably at them as rage filled her eyes.

The lady broke into a run to Kaoru. As she called out to Kaoru.

"KAO CHAN!!!"
