Disclaimer: I bought Kenshin! I did? Don't believe me? Party Pooper. Oh well, but if you sue me you'll find Kenshin's Reversed Blade Sword up you ass! Kenshin: hey! You aren't going to shove that up anyone butt, that you aren't. And for two reasons. 1: I don't want it up there! And 2: It would hurt the person! *Author rollz her eyes.* "X-Battousai's. they are too soft. Losing Kenshin

Chapter 2: He's Baaaaaack!

When Kenshin was able to move again, he found himself in a small dungeon. His eyes wandered around the room.

It was dark, yet he could still see. In one corner there was a bare futon. Chains were lined around the walls, and there was a small door. No Kaoru.

"Dammit." He said. He could feel his body start to tremble in rage and he was desperately trying to suppress the rage building within him. The Battousai wanted out, but the Rurouni wanted control. He knew that if the Battousai emerged, he would kill, and no one would stop him.

Not even Kaoru.

Suddenly the door opened, and Kaoru was thrown in, still tied, but naked and shivering. Kenshin could make out her delicate form, covered in cuts and bruises. Blood was caked over her body, and her hair was horribly knotted. She had been raped.

Something inside Kenshin popped. He threw himself foreword at her, wanting to kill whoever had hurt her. Carefully he wrapped his arms around her and untied her arms, then covered her naked body with his own. She was shivering greater than he could imagine. Both from fear and cold.

When he touched her, Kaoru jumped. She was so jumpy now. Her body ached and she was so scared she couldn't even think. But then she recognized the scent.

"Kenshin, oh, I was so scared."

Kenshin snuggled into Kaoru, trying to calm and warm her. "Kaoru, what did they do to you?" He growled.

Kaoru winced at the tone of his voice. It was sharp as nails. "They- they tried to get me to have se-sex with them, but when I wouldn't do it, they beat me. Then they did it." She began to cry. The thing she had held so sacred, the thing she wanted Kenshin to have, they had taken from her. Fear overtook her, and she cried even harder.

Kenshin nuzzled her hair. "Its OK, Miss Kaoru, that it is. I am here now. Don't worry, I'm here, and I wont let them take you again." 'And I wont let them live after what they've done to you.' He thought. Finally, his eyes, which had been flickering amber to amethyst for some time, finally reverted to gold. The Battousai was back.

"But its NOT ok Kenshin! They beat me, they stole my virginity. They took my first kiss, I wanted you to have it!" Kaoru froze as she realized what she had just said. She even stopped shivering.

Kenshin relaxed. Why he relaxed under such tension was beyond him. Suddenly his eyes returned to amethyst. Carefully he turned her head to look at her. "Then forget it ever happened." He said as he pressed his lips against hers. When Kenshin finally released, Kaoru was asleep. She snuggled against his chest, in a deep slumber.

'So the Battousai has returned. But I can still keep him under control. For now.'

AN: ok, I know. Short chapter. My bad. BUT it will get better. Will the Battousai come out fully? And will Kaoru be ok? BTW, thanxs 4 all the reviews! I'm typin them as fast as I can!
