3 days. 3 days without food, or water. They just laid in the wagon, bound, and starving. Suzume was crying in her sleep, as was Ayame. But Kaoru had not slept any. Not even for a second, Not since what the men had done to her...............
'Kenshin! Where are you?' she yelled at the vision of Kenshin that swam around her head, behind her closed eyes.
'Kenshin..........................' the image of him disappeared, it was fading. She mentally yelled at him begging him to come rescue them from this hell. But he was gone now, and Kaoru was left with nothing, she was filled with emptiness.
"It will be alright Miss Kaoru. It will be alright, that it will.!" said Kenshin. Kaorus eyes snapped open, and there was his image again. His sweet smiling face was there in front of her. She nodded her head, then fell asleep, as the picture faded again..............
"Wake up! Stupid girl." Yelled Jorgen. He was shaking her violently. "Were here." he stated as he let go of her. She stood up, and had trouble standing. The little ones grabbed her hands as they followed the kidnappers up to the house. Wait did I say house? I meant Palace. This place was enormous. It had to be at least 10 stories high, and a mile long, with tall aspens growing down the side of it.
"Get a Move On!!" the men yelled, as she stood mouth gaping as she stared at the massive structure in front of her.
One of the men got frustrated, and grabbed her hair, lifting her and throwing her into the dirt.
"I said Get A Move On!" he yelled as he proceeded to stomp on her wrist, breaking it.
Kaoru cried out in pain, as she heard her wrist snap 2 or 3 times. Finally the man stopped and headed toward the house again. She began to sit up, holding her wrist gingerly. She stood up, and began walking again.
"Kaoru!" cried Ayame, as she and Suzume ran up to her. But they were cut back when the ugly brute that broke her wrist, stepped in front on them and pushed them back making them collide and fall.
"You ugly Bastard! Leave them alone! You can do anything you want with me, but leave them alone!" she yelled after him. But he did not seem to hear. Well she could fix that. She found a good sized stick that was laying on the ground. She handled a few times before attacking the man over the head knocking him to the ground.
"Ha ha. Bravo!" said the masked man as he clapped his hands. He walked up to Kaoru, smiling, showing his discolored teeth.
"But I'm afraid it will take more to defeat me." and with that he dropped kicked her, making her land on her wrist.
"Leave her, and the others alone." boomed a voice above them.
"Who are you? Show yourself!" said the masked man as he spun around, trying to identify someone. He stopped as he heard a thud right behind him. He spun around again to look into the eyes of Battousi.
'Kenshin! Where are you?' she yelled at the vision of Kenshin that swam around her head, behind her closed eyes.
