::I Twisted My Brain, That I Did!::

***Welcome to Doinjo*** ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
The guy smiled. "I get that reaction many times. Come on, I'll show you where it is." He picked up her bags and started walking toward the lower deck.

Kaoru started to follow him when Kenshin asked dejectedly, "Where are you going?"

"I'm going to give him a surprise," Kaoru answered sweetly.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------
Kenshin forcefully threw the bag he was holding down to the deck. He raced to the rail of the ship and before Kaoru could stop him, had dived into the sea. "KENSHIN!" Kaoru choked back a sob. What is he doing!!! Did I make him do this???!!! She looked everywhere for a mass of red hair, but could only see blue-green sea. "KENSHIN!!!!!" Kaoru screamed a wave of fear as cold as the sea below washed over her heart.

Suddenly Kenshin's head broke the surface. He was clutching another limp figure at his side. He skillfully maneuvered up the side of the ship and onto the deck. He gently placed the unconscious lady on the deck.

"Kenshin? Who.is that?" Kaoru asked perplexed.

Before Kenshin could answer, he keeled over, shivering. Everyone on the deck stared at the two bodies on the deck. Kaoru knelt next to Kenshin and shook him. "Kenshin!!! Kenshin!" When she realized he wouldn't wake and that he was shivering uncontrollably. She yanked his bag, which was still lying on the deck getting drenched, and shook out a blanket. She covered him with it and pulled out another one (A/N: I guess he gets cold easily *shrug*) and placed it over the girl.

Suddenly the Ship Master ran up. "What happened?" he demanded. When he saw the two bodies, he ordered, "You and you, take the lady to cabin 34, and you three take this man to.." Looking at Kaoru, he asked, "Are you Miss Kaoru? And is that Mister Kenshin?"

"Yes," she whispered.

"Then you three take him to cabin 28 and you can just follow them, Miss Kaoru." He turned to the other members on the ship, and asked what had happened.

Kaoru picked up the bag, and was led to a large cabin with three rooms, and a dresser. I have to remember to get my stuff back She arranged Kenshin's stuff in the dresser as one of the men asked, "Where is your stuff?"

"That guy took it," Kaoru said shortly.

"Delini." It wasn't even a question. "I'll be right back." The guy left.

Kenshin groaned. He was freezing, and had an enormous headache. "O..r..o?" he asked groggily.

Kaoru hearing Kenshin stir, knelt next to him. She peered at his face worriedly. "Are you alright?"

Of course if you're around "What happened?"

"You saved that girl and some guys brought you here. This is our cabin." As she said these words, the room seemed to grow smaller. "I.I.I've got to change."

He nodded before shivering violently. Hey wait a second!!!! I can't change!!!! Her thoughts were interrupted by a light tap on the door. "Miss Kaoru?"

"Come in!"

The man from earlier entered the room. "Here's your stuff. Uh.I don't think I've introduced myself. I'm Kinshi. I'm in the room next to yours if you need me." He turned to go. "If you have trouble with Kenshin come and see me. I'm a doctor too." With that, he left.

Suddenly Kenshin screamed in pain. Kaoru turned around fearfully, to see Kenshin clutching his stomach. He was glowing with a blood red light.

Kaoru ran toward him. "Don't touch him, girl," a voice snarled from the doorway. "Unless you want to suffer as much as him."

Kenshin rose from the bed, eyes still wide with pain. He streaked towards the man, until he floated right before him. The glow faded, and Kenshin fell limply onto the floor. A blade appeared in his hand. "You should know how to fight. Let's see it."

Kaoru's eyes narrowed. "Fine." She picked up her bokken from the bag and positioned herself. The guy laughed evilly "Before we begin, I'll tell you my name. I, Boinshi, have waited for this chance for a long time. Let us begin!"

He lunged at her with a snarl. Kaoru held up her bokken to block it, but the sword sliced right through. Suddenly a voice called, "Welcome to Doinjo! We will be boarding shortly!"
