The place was dark, and she was tied back to a chair, the ropes digging into her skin. She had tried calling out to some one, but no one answered as her voice echoed off the walls. Something said she was going to die here, but another voice said that he was going to come and save her…but why should he? The other voice argued. He wouldn't come and save a pointless bitch like her, she was worthless to him now. Sides, he had so many other women at his hand, why come for her?
But he loves me! She thought. But who was she trying to convince, he couldn't. No, no, no! He would come, he would! He would! He WOULD!
Who are you trying to kid? He won't, he won't, he won't. You're thinking it, trust me child, its all the pointless musing of a whore who is stuck on her one night stand with the hunk of her dreams, replied the voice, one that kept talking to her, convincing her of things she shouldn't believe.
Tears came; they rolled down her checks as he sobs escaped. The was all she could hear, so she missed the sound of keys unlocking the door it opening, creaking loudly, but she still didn't hear.
"Really, you'd think that Battousai's woman would have a back bone," said a cold voice somewhere at the back of her. It was like nails running across a chalkboard and hurt her ears. "But, then again, hasn't he been beating for the past few years?"
She looked behind her to see a tall man in the faint light, and something made her remember a willow tree when she looked at his hair.
"Who are you?" She asked, no fear in her voice as she did so.
"Why, so it seems that you do," came the sarcastic reply. There was the rustle of sound as he took something out of his pocket, a flick latter and a match was lit. Not soon after that she smelled the tall tale stench of cigarette smoke.
She coughed and asked him if he would please not smoke near her.
"No," he said, smirking, "Why should I follow my captives orders? After all, you are the defenseless one."
She bowed her head, not wanting to look at him, he was right. He was right; she was weak.
"Now, lets have a little talk, and its about that boyfriend of yours," he began, blowing a puff of smoke in her direction. "It begun a long time ago, at China, I believe in the about the same time you meat Battousai and fell in love him…ah, yes, that is the time. You weren't the only foolish woman to fall in love with him, but you are the foolish one of them all to actually run off with him to this land. My sister was one of those women, and she actually believed that he loved her—when all he did was have eyes for you.
"Like so many women, she talked to him, hung with him at all the right places, and just like them, believed that he was the real one for them. It was pointless, he didn't have eyes for any of them, all he did was have eyes for you, you and you alone. But why did he still play with them? Why hurt them like he did my sister? Why? Can you tell me that, little girl? Can you tell me why my sister is in a state of coma from trying to kill her self because that man didn't love her? TELL ME!"
His fist slammed down on the way, right behind her, and she was surprised that she was so close to it with out realizing. But what shocked her the most was his eyes, the same hunting amber that her Kenshin had…her Battousai.
"Your sister shouldn't have gotten attached with a man she hardly knew!" Kaoru cried out suddenly, and would have added more but his lips cut her off. His mouth was vial and disgusting tasting as the cigarette stench that still lingered on his tongue. "Stop it!" She cried out, tears of…regret? falling from her eyes as she whipped her heard away.
"Why would a little whore like you not want to kiss some one willing to pay? Or did Battousai not have you in his bed yet? Like so many others he has already taken?"
She was shocked, and something sparked deep inside of her, a spark of dependence.
"Don't you dare talk about me—or him—like that!" She kicked out and hit him the balls. He didn't expect it as he groaned in pain and muttered bitch as he slapped her right across the face. It seemed that he would have down more when a speaker came on, the voice of a young man saying that the guest had arrived and that his presence was required. The speaker never said the man's name and Kaoru cursed quietly at that, she would have preferred to curse the man's name before he left.
"Ah, it looks like Battousai has come, looks like you will just have to wait to see who the victor is." He laughed a moment before leaving, shutting the room back into darkness and silence once again.
Tears came again as the world seemed to shatter—the guest was Kenshin, and if he didn't win…

AN: a cliffhanger once again, but don't worry, I'll start getting on the next chapter soon enough (like, after I've updated this one). I've gotten request for another lemon, so expect one latter on, and don't expect a fight scene between the reincarnation of Saitou and Kenshin, I don't do those things (never have, never will), but the winner will look like he has been put through hell (physical and emotional). So, just wait and see. And I didn't write Saitou's name well, because I can't remember the one he used, you know, the new one, so if some one could help me, please?
And has anyone noticed that I've been more opened lately? Cause I have, and my three parts, well, lets hope that only a few of you have read fics by my nicer half (though REALLY the name doesn't suit her, also, the new fic I put up for that one, should've gone under this name, its gonna get said soon enough). Okay, done with the author's notes, now with the answers to reviews!
Also, I know the villain is the same as that one story, done by this other person and its like named something i can's think of off the top of my head, but alas, we all just have to live with it.
Momo-chan: Of course she lives! I can so much more to her if she stays that way. ^.^
silver3q: maybe the flute, or the drum major, but that's a wild guess, and the clarinet isn't all that light. But the baritone saxophone is a heavy instrument (not only that, but I'm the smallest and only girl barry sax player out of Lodi High, Tokay and Bear Creek *cries*). Watch for the lemon!
Omochi: I can't do things like that to her, it would seem to evil (and from what I'm doing?) Her parents are the strict type, they don't do wild children and she doesn't like to kill.
Misanagi: same here, like these two YYH fics out there, god they are dark, good and so sad! I cried my eyes out.
aki: thank you, though sorry I couldn't update so soon, busy (or lazy, whichever one works).
Anonymous #1: Kaoru is about 23 years and Kenshin 25…I think, it's an estimate.
Shizuka: I look forward to your reviews, they are just so…fun to read. Um, well, we'll have to see for the question of Kenshin feeling for our little koneko-chan.
Ophelai Lia: abduction a good thing? In Kaoru's case, nothing is a good thing.
Michy: Another vote for a lemon! I will try better with the next one. As for trick-or-treating, alas, I have class on Thursday, so I couldn't, but I do get some of the left over candy.
Vesca: action, I am horrible with action, the reason I don't fighting scenes. Its always so slow moving and nothing gets done fast like in real fights (not to mention I don't know HOW to write fighting scenes).
Anonymous #2: Vacation…my next vacation is for this up coming Monday, I think…with school, no one ever knows. And dark fics do rule, especially the good dark fics that make you bawl your eyes out.
D.A.: me and action to work together, that's why I asked if some one out there would like to help me fix it up (PINK BOWLING balls chasing people out of a castle, that was as good as it got). Sorry you got so lost, I'll try to fix it up as soon as I can.
Yui Shinomori: Maybe, but I think Kaoru was still thinking about Kenshin's eyes.
tsuki-sama: send me an email with the review, I'll even put it up…though, that was when it needed 100 cause it was stuck on 99…but it all still works, right?
Shiomei: Yeah, my first lemon, and I'll try revising this fic when I'm done, but alas, I hate looking over my own work (it just seems so boring when you know the work already), but, I'll try.
Anime-no-Atama: I think I read one of your fics, but I can't remember! Agh! Give me a chance, but I knew I liked it. And no, Kenshin wouldn't like this, he is obsessed after all.
Anonymous #3: sorry I didn't update soon, by the way, are you related to the other anonymous people who have been reviewing? And I like the anonymous part, it's original and lazy (how I wish I could be…)
marstanuki: yeah, and this was a slow up date (that was a fast update? I still thought it was about a week apart).
Crystal: once more! How do you do it? Also Kenshin, who wouldn't when you've lived a life like his? And some of it will be explained in the next chapter.
Thank you for reviewing! I hope you liked this chapter!
