A/N: So, how did you like chapter 4? I had my first fight scene. Don't
worry as the story progresses the fight scenes will get better.
Chapter 5: The Legendary Battousai
By the time Inuyasha and Kenshin got back to the camp it was dark and everyone was sleeping. Inuyasha walked over to the tree and leapt up to the first branch. Kenshin followed and sat underneath the tree. They both were silent. Inuyasha was the first to speak.
"So, what's your story?" Inuyasha said as he stared up at the stars.
"Well, in my time, I'm quite famous, that I am. I used to be a manslayer. I killed for the Meiji government, when they were trying to gain power." Kenshin said as he pulled out his new sword.
"You don't seem like a manslayer." Inuyasha said as he looked down at Kenshin.
"Well, I'm reformed now. I don't like to kill. That's why I started using a reverse blade." Kenshin said as he started swinging the Densatsuken. "But, when I get really angry that old manslayer part of me comes out, and at those moments I hate myself." Kenshin said as he sheathed his sword and sat down. "The last time I was like that was when Miss Kaoru was kidnapped, I almost killed the guy who took her." Kenshin said as he leaned against the tree.
"Well I used to be like, that killing innocent people and always trying to steal the Shikon jewel but then Kikyou came and I didn't want to be that way anymore." Inuyasha said as he leaned back against the tree to get some sleep, "Don't forget there are demon's here not just humans so don't restrain yourself from killing."
"I won't. I know what I have to do." Kenshin said as he too closed his eyes to fall asleep.

Meanwhile in Naraku's castle Naraku looked in on the conversation through Kanna's mirror. He smirked when he came up with new plan.
"So, he doesn't like being evil. Well, we are just going to have to make him get in touch with his evil side. Maigonoyoru I want you to travel forward in time and kidnap this Miss Kaoru." Naraku said as he turned to face Maigonoyoru who was accompanied by Asuyomika.
"Yes lord Naraku." Maigonoyoru said as he disappeared.

Back in Kenshin's time Miss Kaoru was busy sweeping the dojo. She stopped and backed up against the wall. She slowly slide down the wall and sat on the floor.
"What could have possibly happened to Kenshin and Yahiko?" Miss Kaoru asked herself out loud as she turned to see Sano walk into the dojo holding his recently repaired sword.
"What is the matter, Kaoru?" Sano asked as he approached her.
"I'm worried about Kenshin and Yahiko." She said as a tear rolled down her cheek.
"Don't be worried about them." Sano said trying to comfort her.
"Yeah, don't be worried about them. You should worry about yourself." Maigonoyoru said as he stepped out of the shadows and walked into the light.
"Who are you?" Sano asked as he stepped forward and raised his sword.
"All you need to know is that I am an enemy of your swordsman friend." Maigonoyoru said as he walked towards Miss Kaoru, "I am going to bring you to him."
Maigonoyoru lunged forward and grabbed Miss Kaoru. He ran out of the Dojo and opened a portal outside. He leapt through. Sano ran out of the dojo just in time to see him leap through. Sano took a minute to examine the strange ball. He decided that the best thing for him to do was to follow them. Sano jumped through the portal and disappeared.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Maigonoyoru appeared back at Naraku's castle with Miss Kaoru and Sano. He turned to look at Sano and immediately, before Sano could react, Maigonoyoru had knocked him unconscious.
"Well done Maigonoyoru." Naraku said as he stood up from the throne he was sitting in, "Now I want you and Asuyomika to bring the woman and these two men to Kenshin. Make sure he realizes how serious this is." Naraku said as he turned to face Yahiko who was incased in a red energy bubble.
"You just wait till Kenshin catches you. He is gonna kill you!" Yahiko yelled from inside the bubble.
"Well, we will just have to see about that." Naraku said as he sat back down.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
When Kenshin woke up Inuyasha and Kagome were up eating breakfast and Sango and Miroku were off with Shippou getting water.
"Are you hungry?" Kagome asked when she saw Kenshin.
"No thank you, but I appreciate you asking, that I do." Kenshin said as he walked over to Inuyasha and sat down next to him.
"So tell me about this Miss Kaoru that Inuyasha was telling me about." Kagome said as she moved closer to Kenshin. "Are you? You know what I mean." Kagome said with a wink.
"Eh...eh heh.Well I haven't really thought about that." Kenshin said nervously.
Suddenly everyone went silent. Inuyasha got up and started smelling the air.
"They're coming." Inuyasha said as he pulled out Tetsuseiga. "Right." Kenshin said with a nod.
"Hello boys." Asuyomika said with a wink.
Maigonoyoru ran out of the forest followed by three floating red bubbles. One contained Yahiko, another contained Sano, and the third contained Miss Kaoru.
"How do you like our new toys?" Asuyomika said as she formed her energy whip.
"You will fight us now or they die." Maigonoyoru said as he held up his sword.
"Kenshin help me!" Miss Kaoru yelled through the bubble.
"I will try." Kenshin said as he lunged forward and attacked Maigonoyoru.
Maigonoyoru blocked Kenshin's attack and countered with a strike of his own. Kenshin jumped back to avoid the attack, only to get hit in the back with Asuyomika's whip. Inuyasha leapt into the air and fired a Kaza-No-Kizu directly at Asuyomika. Asuyomika turned and formed a huge energy ball in her hand and threw it at the Kaza-No-Kizu canceling it out.
Maigonoyoru backed out of the fight to watch Asuyomika take on them both. He formed a large energy ball in his hand and fired it at Inuyasha and Kenshin who were both knocked to the ground.
"We win. Now we get to torture your friends." Maigonoyoru said as he formed an energy ball in his hand and pointed it at Miss Kaoru.
Just as he was about to fire the ball and arrow hit his hand, destroying the energy ball. Maigonoyoru turned to where the arrow was fired from to see Kagome standing there holding her bow.
"I won't let you hurt them." Kagome said as she put another arrow on her bow and drew it back.
"Come on little girl, let's see what you've got." Asuyomika said as she whipped the bow and arrow out of Kagome hands then ran up and knocked Kagome to the ground.
"Now, where was I? Oh yeah." Maigonoyoru said as he turned towards the three captives and started to fire electricity at Miss Kaoru.
The beam hit Miss Kaoru causing her to scream. Kenshin stood up. He had his head lowered.
"Stop it!" Kenshin said as a tear fell to the ground.
"Or what?" Maigonoyoru said with a laugh.
"Ill kill you!" Kenshin said as he raised his head.
His eyes were gold and their piercing stare gazed right into Maigonoyoru's soul. For the first time Maigonoyoru felt fear.
A/N: Well it was a bit of a cliffhanger but I will conclude this in the next chapter. Please R&R.
