Note: Sorry its been soooo long! I just...was kind of bored with this story and had two other ideas that I wanted to write so....well, I promise I'll get this story done soon. I'm sorry you've all been waiting so long! This will probably be my final Rurouni Kenshin story. I have so many other ideas that I really want to do so....here is chapter 2! Oh and this story is now dedicated to kaoruhimura. Thank you so much for getting me off my lazy butt and finishing this story.
Chapter 2: The Letter and Yahiko
It had been two months since Kenshin had left the dojo. He had already gotten to Kyoto and was hoping Kaoru wasn't following him. He was too good for her. He had almost killed her! How could her go back and find that long scar?
"Excuse me. Mr. Himura?" asked a lady in a long red kimono, "Would you like anything else?"
"Huh?" he mumbled, coming out of his trance. He couldn't stop thinking about Kaoru. Was she okay? Was she mad at him? Was she still brainwashed? "Yes. May I have some tea please?" he asked the waitress.
"Right away," she said as she hurried away. She then quickly stopped and turned around and quickly walked back towards him, "Um....sorry to bother you again Mr. Himura but I have a letter for you. I was going to give it to the hotel your staying in but since you're here," she stuck her hand into a long pocket. She fished around in it for a minute before pulling out a crumpled envliope. She handed it to him saying, "Sorry. It's a little crumbled but still readable. I'll be back in a minute with your tea." She then hurried away again. Kenshin stared at the envelope. He couldn't tell who wrote his name on the front or how they found him. He thought it must be Sano because Megumi didn't have such bad handwriting. He carefully opened it to see a two pages. The waitress returned and gave him his tea but he didn't even notice. He was reading, the mark of surprise all over his face. According to his letter Sano and Megumi kept his wish and did not tell Kaoru where he went. Since he was gone somebody needed to buy the tofu. She had been out at the market when a police officer had gotten drunk and started killing people. Kaoru was one of them. The letter finished off by Sano asking for Kenshin to return and morn for her. He nodded to himself. Even if he had almost killed her that was no reason for him not to go back. He got up, drank the rest of his tea in one gulp (which burnt his tongue), paid his bill, and quickly walked out. When he got on the road he decided it would take too long for him to get there on foot. Sano had said in the letter that the morning date was in three days. He'd never make it. He glanced at the little money he had.
"I have just enough for a train ticket. I'll have to walk back, but I can get there in two days time. Guess I'm riding the train," he said to himself as he turned around and headed toward the train station. When he got there, he bought one ticket to Tokyo and got on board. As he sat down, the train started.
'In less than 2 days I'll be back in Tokyo. I'll be back at the dojo. I'll be back to morn for the death of the one I love," he thought as the trees flew by, 'I hope I can take it.'

Meanwhile.....
"The letter has been sent."
"Good. Good. Now, I need you to go and take Kaoru. Take her....take her to a cave or something. Then, when the Battousai arrives, his friends will tell him that there is no morning day. That Kaoru never died. But she has been kidnapped."
"But what if he doesn't want to save her?"
"Oh he'll save her. And if he doesn't, we'll just have to help him a bit." *smiles evilly*
"Yes, Master. But how should I kidnap her?"
"Kidnap the small boy. Then, when she is alone looking for him, take her. Return the boy later but make sure he does not know who you are or remember anything. You can dump him back in the woods."
"Alright. *cracks knuckles* This'll be fun."
**********************
Back at the dojo.....
"Yahiko! Yahiko were are you?" cried Kaoru as she searched in side the dojo. Yahiko had run off a few hours later and had not returned yet. Sano was looking in the woods and Megumi at the clinic. It was getting dark and was way past dinner time. Usually he would have come running back, begging Kenshin to start making dinner. Kaoru froze. Maybe....maybe Yahiko went to look for Kenshin. But....but....that wasn't possible. He had just told Tsumbame ((sorry if that's spelled wrong)) that he loved her. Maybe he was at the Akobeko ((sorry again!)).
"Sano! Sano did you find him?" Kaoru called out a window.
"Nope. Man where did that little big mouthed brat go?" he replied as he came in.
"Sano, maybe he's at the Akobeko. I'm going to check. You stay here in case he comes back," she instructed as she ran out of the gate.
"Wait! Missy wait! What do I do if he does come back?" he called as she ran out of site.
"Come and tell me!" came a faint reply.
"Alright if you say so."
************************
At the market.....
"Yahiko! Yahiko! Yahiko where are you?" Kaoru called as she combed the streets. Shop owners were starting to close. Kaoru looked up to see a large, full moon. She stared at it for a few minutes, not hearing the footsteps behind her. Suddenly, Kaoru felt a hand cover her mouth and she immediately tried to struggle. Her captor had a mask on so she could not see his face. He quickly tied up her hands and put a cloth around her mouth. She tried to run away but he slapped her and she fell backwords and hit the street hard. She tried kicking as he tied up her feet but she was losing energy. She had been up all night trying to convince Megumi and Sano to tell her if Kenshin went to Kyoto or America. She fought hard but in the end, her captor threw her of his shoulder and set down the road, away from the market, away from the dojo, and away from anyone who could save her.

How was that? Ya I know. I like cliffhangers! Sorry it took so long. I should be updating soon so don't worry. I don't have school for roughly about 2 more months. Well.....on the chapter 3!
