Darkest of Days
RK doesn't belong to me.
WARNING: This fic contains adult situations, abuse and harsh language.
Okay, I am fed up with a certain question you people ask me, so this chapter is different from the rest, cause its not in Kaoru's perspective, as the other chapters were, so, I hope this will answer that annoying question.
Chapter 6
~*~*~*~*~*
Amber eyes looked up from the document he was reading to see his tall friend leaning against the way across the room from him. The 'tori atama' would have been his right hand man, if the government hadn't gotten to him first, all on false charges of course. The government ruined everything he had worked so hard to plan and make, except one thing, hidden in a room deep with in his castle by the sea.
Sides, he did have to keep his family mob onward, like it had been living for the past thousands of years starting with his ancestor Yukishiro Enishi. Oh, the irony of it all was the fact the man thought he could get away from the mob by leaving it, oh, but family's evil nature for the world and country of Japan was strong, and nothing could keep them from taking the job in charge up once more.
"Are you sure you want to keep her here, like this?" asked Sano, looking at his friend with questioning eyes.
"Yes, she belongs to me," Kenshin replied, putting the paper down onto his desk and took out a pen, signing the document.
"If you ask me, it still seems like your keeping her a prisoner." Sano huffed, leaning against a wall as he put a fish bone in his mouth.
"Saitou Sanosuke! I will not have you in my house if—"
"Yessh, man, calm down, I'll stop talking, just speaking my mind." Kenshin continued to glare at his friend for a moment before looking back at his desk, muttering under his breath that she was in the room at the end of the hall on the second floor. "Thanks."
The rooster head left the room and walked up some stairs before making it to the door, opening it and seeing the girl watching the TV she found hidden inside a wooden cabinet, and he would be crazy to think that it was fake wood instead of the real wood Kenshin liked the most in his house—at least this one anyway.
"Hey Jou-chan, what's up?" She seemed startled to see him, having only seen Kenshin for the past few days. "Tanuki got your tongue?" He smirked as she glared a t him, and got hit with the pillow she sent his way. He threw it right back, put she dodged it with a laugh.
"I can't believe I'm seeing any person other then him," she said.
"He can be pretty protective—"
"Protective? He took me captive and is keeping me prisoner here by force!" To prove her point she lifted the chain and shook it, making it clang together, the sound harsh. "But that's not the worse part…"
"What is?"
"I don't know how he feels for me, and I want to know… its like I'll know—understand—why he is doing this to me if I knew what he felt…"
"You love him still?"
"He was my first love and still is," she sank deeper into the bed, as if trying to bury her self and her troubles from the world. As if the covers would protect her from everything else.
Sano knew he could do nothing to help her, the only thing that would be able to was herself and him, which ever one came first. He sighed. "I have to be going, see ya some latter, k?"
He left, and Kaoru looked after him for a moment before blurting out, "Remember to see Megumi-san!"
"Will do."
She watched him leave, leaving the door open behind him, and she got up, walking slowly towards it. The chain stopped her from getting very far, but if she stretched her arm just so, she was able to touch the door, closing it with a push.
Going back to the bed, she sat down once again and looked at the TV. Sometime latter the door opened to show Kenshin carrying with him and bag—her bag—with him. She watched him closely as he put the bag down on the table and started to open it, bring out a familiar container and other things she knew, like her alarm clock and small mp3 player and headphones, the one that hr grandfather had bought her years ago.
"I thought you might enjoy some things to remind you of home, you'll be staying here a while."
"A while?" she was suddenly there, looking at him with glaring blue eyes.
"Yes, what made you think other wise?" he answered, looking at her with lazy amber eyes. She clenched her fists at her side, before raising a hand and started to slap him. He caught her by the wrist and twisted her around, holding her tightly, hurting her arm. She winced, tears coming to her eyes from the pain. "You will remember that I own you. Remember that."
He pushed her to the floor and left the room, leaving her before he would do anything to harm her anymore.
She stayed there and started to cry, the tears were falling, and she couldn't stop him. This place kept her constantly captive, and she would not be able to stop him from hurting her worse…maybe even…
A soft sob escaped her chest with pain; it was all pointless…her life was pointless. There was no reason to live any more…as long as he didn't love her.
Which wasn't very likely…

Author's Notes: only one person was right about Kenshin being a descendant! Thank you tenshineko, though, Saitou won't be coming up for a few chapters, if I do put him in her, who knows. Any way, I hope that helps, really! It took me days to write this chapter…I just can't seem to write!!!
tenshineko: No, Kaoru stays with Kenshin, unfortunately, and will continue to do so for the rest of this fic. And for this Kenshin, it just shows a dark side of BOTH personalities he has (last chapter is an example).
omochi: I agree, but, if I did that to him, the story would have a very abrupt ending, yeah, slowly this fic and all the others I'm writing under the "nicer one" will slowly get back on their feet…hopefully…
D.A.: thank you, and an original idea huh? Never thought of it that way, I'm just writing something I want to.
Michy: It sucks to be a prisoner of love, and for Kaoru, it must really be hell.
munchkin: I like the name, it's pretty cool. And thank you for the names, it helps when you know what you need to know for your fic (which I was exact opposite for ^.^).
Vesca: Kenshin is evil, plain and simple. Well, in this fic anyway. And don't all captures get chained to something so they wouldn't be able to run away all too easily?
Leigh: Don't feel bad, my spelling is one of the worst in the world. And my Japanese… don't ask. And Kenshin ends up with Kaoru, as in, they live "happily ever after." Or so we all think.
chibi-hime: Thank you, for the review and name, ii can't remember a lot on these things (my best is Sailor Moon, well…mostly any way…).
Shiomei: university huh? High school still, but all the work… Kenshin, well, we'll just have to see if he loves her or not, but Kaoru really loves him.
Serena: Thank you, and sorry about the slow update, I just can't seem to write all that fast at the moment, a case of writers block that I am still going through. So be glad I got this out (don't ask about this other story I have on ff.net, nothing comes at the moment for it…)
Shunu no Miko: His first name is Hajime, and you spelled it right. Thank you
Yui Shinomori: No, I hope that this chapter cleared all that. Though, I think I talked about it in other chapters, but the message still didn't go out… oh well…
beverlyhighland: I don't know, we'll just have to see. ^.~
silverq3r: I think it was like me for an anime once too, and I'm its interesting to you.
Sarryn: thank you.
Crystal: thank you, you always seem to be the first person to review a new chapter of my story. And it's kinda… nice actually. Thank you.
Ah, I hope this chapter cleared from things, and sorry if I sounded mean at the top, but I was annoyed by it all. Thank you for reviewing and remember to review some more please!
