A.N.:hello! This is my first fanfic so please bear with me. There're probably errors in grammar coz English is not my first language. I love reading fanfics and I definitely love RK. In this fic it's Kaoru, Misao and Megumi's turn to be heroes. I'm not that familiar with the Japanese terms or words so you probably wouldn't see any here. I hope you like it. Please review and be gentle with the flames... I'm just a beginner.
Disclaimer: As much as I want to... I don't own RK. And even the vampire slayer. But there's a few characters here that are mine.
THE VAMPIRE SLAYER
by Ice-chan
Chapter 1: Misao's Vision
"Kaoru!"
Someone at the gate yelled at Kaoru while practicing with Yahiko. Kenshin has his hands soak in his laundry. The three of them looked up to the owner of the voice.
"Misao!" Kaoru called back in surprise. Her face broke in a big smile then ran to the gate to greet her friend. "I'm so glad to see you... oh!" she noticed the tall, quiet, blue-eyes man behind Misao. She smiled at him. "This is quite a surprise Aoshi."
Aoshi's expressionless face look at Kaoru. "I know. I hope we won't be burdening you if we stay for a while."
"Of course not! Please come in."
"Hey, weasel girl!" Yahiko greeted Misao.
Misao frowned "Nice to see you too Yahiko-chan!"
"DON'T CALL ME CHAN!!"
"Aoshi, It's nice to see you here. But I'm guessing you're not here for vacation." Kenshin said to Aoshi.
"Yes Himura. It's about Misao"
*******************
They sat at the receiving room. Kenshin brought in the tea and sat beside Kaoru so Aoshi and Misao could explain the reason of their visit.
"It's really nothing serious. Aoshi-sama was just--" Misao started but Aoshi cut in.
"Misao's been having terrible headache attacks which, most of the times makes her loose balance." Aoshi explained. "The doctors at Kyoto couldn't see anything wrong. So I brought her here, hoping Doctor Gensei or Megumi-san could help her."
Concern was written in Kenshin, Kaoru and Yahiko's faces.
"I'll go get Megumi right away." Yahiko said standing up.
"Ouch!" he exclaimed when he bumped into something. He looked up and saw Sanosuke.
"Hey kid, where are you going?"
Yahiko explained to Sano about Misao and Aoshi's visit.
"I'll come with you." Sano offered and went to get Megumi.
******************
Kenshin noticed that Misao keep looking at Kaoru. It seems like she wanted to talk to her about something. maybe she could tell Kaoru what's wrong with her.
"Misao, maybe you should rest now you must be exhausted." Aoshi told Misao.
"Please Aoshi-sama. I'm not sick. I don't even feel tired." an annoyed Misao answered.
"Kaoru-dono, maybe you could take Misao-dono for a walk so she could relax." Kenshin suggested.
Misao smiled and nodded. Just as Kenshin suspected that she wanted to talk to Kaoru alone.
**********************
Misao and Kaoru went to the river where kenshin do his fishing. Kaoru, sensed that Misao was about to say something but shut her mouth asked "What is it Misao?"
"Kaoru," Misao started "Whenever I have these... headaches. I see visions flash in my head."
Kaoru looked concern. "Visions? What do you see?"
"I see you Kaoru. And you were fighting those creatures."
Kaoru was very curious now. "Creatures?"
"Vampires."
Kaoru gasp."Vampires?! Was I killed?"
Misao shook her head. "No! You were very skilled and whenever you thrust your sword into a vampire they vanish into dust."
"Weird."
"Its always the same one I see whenever I have these headaches. What do you think they mean? Am I going insane?" Misao ask almost pleading for an answer.
"No! Of course you're not going insane. I'm just thinking. Last week, there was a man killed. There are no sign of blood and there's two small holes at his neck. It looks like his blood has been drained from his body."
Misao was getting concerned. "What are you saying?"
"I'm saying that maybe the vampire that you are seeing... are real."
***************
Later that evening, Kaoru and Misao are still out. Kenshin is preparing dinner. Megumi, Sano and Yahiko decided to wait outside. Aoshi went to speak to Kenshin.
"Aoshi, I know you're worried about something else other than Misao-dono's headaches. What is it?"
There was a minute of silence between them before Aoshi answered.
"At the moment Misao has these headaches, I felt someone watching. And I'm very sure that whoever it is, he or she is strong and someone I wouldn't trust by instinct." He looked outside worriedly. "And before I came in here, I felt it again."
"Do you think, this person is following Misao-dono?" Kenshin asked.
"I'm almost sure."
They look at each other. Misao and Kaoru did not returned yet. They might be in trouble.
"Let's go." Kenshin said.
*******************
Before Kenshin and Aoshi could reach the gate, Kaoru and Misao walked in followed by a westener man,
Kaoru and Misao went to where Megumi, Sano and yahiko is sitting. Kenshin and Aoshi followed.
"It's not him." Kenshin whispered to Aoshi. He couldn't feel evil in the ki of this mystery man. Aoshi nodded.
Kaoru introduced the man. "This is Moore Chris..." she introduced the Kenshin-gumi to Chris. "We saw him walking this way and asked us where the Kamiya dojo is."
Misao smiled. "Lucky for him, he found us."
"I was looking for Kaoru-san." Chris said in almost perfect Japanese. "I need to talk to her in private."
"Of course. But shall we have dinner first?" kenshin asked giving his rurouni smile.
"That would be nice. Thank you." Chris answered.
*******************
While the Kenshin-gumi was eating dinner with Chris. yahiko and Misao started arguing.
Kaoru interrupted. "Yahiko, that's not a way to talk to a lady!"
"Really? There's a lady in this house? I didn't noticed." Yahiko yelled back.
Chris appeared to be amused with all the arguing while Kenshin tried to stop Kaoru and Misao from pummeling Yahiko.
Misao suddenly stopped. She held her temple suck in her breath and closed her eyes shut as a vision of young, good looking man in his mid-twenties with jet-black, ebony hair, pale complexion and deep green eyes was talking to her, Kaoru and Megumi, in the forest. The vision stopped, her breathing came back from gasping to normal. As she opened her eyes the first thing she saw is Aoshi's worried blue eyes.
Kaoru knew that it must be another one of those visions and became scared. All these things about vampires and her having a part with it is quite scary. She noticed that Chris have this look on his face like he knows something.
Megumi went next to Misao. Having seen Misao's headache attack it must be something serious. "Misao, what happened? What do you feel?"
she asked feeling Misao's forehead for a possible fever.
"I..I still feel a little dizzy but the hadache's fading." Misao answered.
Megumi didn't detect any fever. Taking note to ask Doctor Gensei about Misao's condition. In the meanwhile, Misao has to rest. "Let's bring her to bed."
***********
Misao is already laid in the futon with Aoshi, saying that she's fine. Megumi decided to go back home to ask Doctor Gensei. Sano escorted her. Kenshin is washing the dishes, while Kaoru showed Chris where he could sleep for the night.
"Kaoru-san," Chris said as Kaoru was about to go to Misao's room to ask if she saw another vision.
"Moore-san, I'll come back after I go see Misao." Kaoru said and went to Misao's room.
Misao felt someone coming. She already sent Aoshi to his room to sleep, assuring him that she's fine and needed to rest. But she's planning to go to Kaoru's rrom to discuss her latest vision. The planning wasn't necessary as Kaoru slid open the shoji and shut it behind her.
Misao sat up as Kaoru sat beside her.
"Another vision?" Kaoru asked.
Misao nodded. "I saw you, me and Megumi-san talking to a young man with black hair and blue eyes. And he was very pale."
"Do you--"
Kaoru was cut from her question when someone came in. It was Chris.
"Sorry for interrupting, but I just need to ask Misao-san something." He said.
"What is it?" Misao asked.
"When you have these headaches, did you had visions?"
Kaoru and Misao eyed Chris suspiciously.
"What do you know about it?" Kaoru asked.
"I know what all of these means." answered Chris. "That is the reason why I need to talk to you Kaoru-san."
"What do you want to tell me?" Kaoru asked.
"Tell me about your visions first, Misao-san."
Misao told Chris about her visions. Chris just kept nodding. They've let him sit down on the other side of Misao. After Misao finished telling Chris her visions, he began to tell them his purpose.
"There's one thing that you should know, that these vampires are real. They hide from the daylight but could move freely in the night. They are immortal and their food is blood. They suck blood out of the animal's and human's body. Most of them are evil, while some still have some conscience. They are very strong and fast. Fortunately, they are controlled for sometime, so they don't attack that much. The Council who sent me here are the ones controlling the vampire's outbreak. But these last two months, The Council lost their control. It is because of the rise of their leader, Yue."
Kaoru and Misao gasp at the thought of vampires freely roaming the streets at night. Chris continued.
"But The Council still have other options. Through different lifetimes, whenever these kinds of things about vampires happen. There's always someone who has the ability to fight these vampires. This person is called the Vampire Slayer." Chris look at Kaoru straight in the eye. "And because of that, the council send me here to tell you Kaoru-san, that you are the Vampire Slayer."
