Crawford gave Ken a smile before he turned and continued walking. He heard a faint thud behind him and saw Ken staring at him, the things he'd been holding laying on the floor.

"Oi, you're gonna be late."

"What... did you just do?"

"I kissed you."

"But why?"

"Because -"

They were both cut off when a group of men surrounded them. Ken paled. "What do you have there, kid?"

"Just... just some things for the k-kitchen..."

One of the men stepped forward with his sword drawn. Ken shivered slightly at the sight of the sword. Some of the men chuckled and Crawford stepped forward also.

"What are you going to do?" The man gave Crawford a glare and pointed the sword towards him. "Stay there, noble. I'm just going to see if that's all he has."

The man bent down and sifted through the sack. He gave a nod to someone in the shadows. Ken sighed as he stood there, staring at the floor.

"Where are you from, chibi?"

Ken's eyes flashed at the word 'chibi' but he managed to mutter, "Hidaka."

"Hidaka, Hidaka... that's the place that's a couple miles from here, right?"

Ken nodded. "So, is this the Hidaka kid?"

Ken looked at Crawford and burst out laughing. *I shouldn't be laughing right now, but... him, me?!*

"That is NOT Ken Hidaka."

"Describe Ken Hidaka."

"Medium height, brown hair, brown eyes, overall pretty plain. Not too good-looking."

The voice from the shadows grew loud as the person neared. "Really? I heard that he was pretty good-looking. And..."

Ken let out a yelp as he was suddenly swept up into someone's arms. "I'm sure that you're him."

"Eeeeh?!" Ken stared at the man, frightened and yet intrigued by the white hair and gold eyes. "What are you talking about?!"

The man grinned and motioned for his men to tie up Crawford. "I'm Enishi [1] - leader of these bandits, Ken Hidaka-sama."

Ken stuttered, "I-I'm not Ken Hidaka!"

Enishi grinned. "Right. There's no point in you trying to trick us... we've been following you since you left the town."

Ken paled. "W-why?!"

Enishi grinned and kissed him. "Coz I want you."

Crawford growled.

TBC...

[1] : My reason for choosing Enishi - I'm in love with him. ^__^ basically, in RK fandom [for me], Sanosuke can be paired only with either Saitou Hajime (kyaaaah! .) or Enishi... and I didn't want to use Farf coz Farf scares me... a lot. T.T

what will happen next? review, onegai!
