Note: I suck at fight scenes!

Chapter 12:

"Yahiko!" Tsubame screamed as Dr. Satrin was about to slash Yahiko in half with his ax. Yahiko dodged it but only by a little. The ax came down and hit the edge of his arm. Tsubame screamed again as stuffing fell out of the doll Yahiko's arm. Yahiko ducked and jabbed his sword into Dr. Satrin's stomach causing him to fly across the room and hit a wall. His eyes rolled to the back of his head signaling that Yahiko was the winner. Kenshin ran over to Yahiko who was breathing hard and bending on one knee and helped him up. Kenshin put Yahiko onto Sano's shoulder as they started up the curling staircase that lead to Kaoru's room at the top of East Tower.

"What's wrong Tsubame?" came Maylo's voice as she and Megumi walked through the door.

"Maylo! Megumi! You made it!" cried Kaoru as she ran an gave Megumi a hug. When Kaoru stopped hugging Megumi, Miaso hugged her too. Tsubame told Maylo and Megumi about Yahiko's fight with Dr. Satrin.

"That means they'll be coming here next!" noted Maiso.

"Actually no," replied Maylo as she sat next to the castle. She pointed to the staircase that Kenshin, Aoshi, Sano, and Yahiko were climbing before speaking, "After Dr. Satrin, it's Dr. Lavon's turn. She uses a bow and arrow and is much quicker than Dr. Satrin or Yahiko. Me and Megumi had to take the back staircase because she's already there waiting for them," Maylo pointed out the Dr. Lavon doll as they saw her put a arrow to her bow, "Now we can see her fight whoever fight's fight."

Kaoru saw the doll Kenshin start to pull his sword out and noted, "I think Kenshin will fight this one."

"Oh! Speaking of Kenshin, Kaoru, I have some wonderful news! You'll be giving birth in about two weeks!" Megumi cried happily, "I always knew you and Kenshin would open up one day! Hohohohohohohoho!"

"Hey! How do you know Kenshin's the father? For all you know it could be Sano!" Kaoru cried in defense.

"Hehe, you're not the only one who parties. Besides, I know Sano would never cheat on me!"

"You and Sano!" cried Tsubame as she covered her mouth with her hand and her eyes got wide.

Megumi smiled, "Yep!"

"They've reached Dr. Lavon!" cried Maylo who had been ignoring them and watching Kenshin and company finish climbing the stairs. All of the girls crowded around the tower staircase and watched eagerly. Sano pointed to himself then at Dr. Lavon. Kenshin nodded and Sano walked forward, cracking his knuckles.

"Looks like Sano's going," commented Kaoru.

"The fool! There's no way he can dodge Dr. Lavon's arrows!" cried Maylo.

"Hey girl," Megumi started, turning towards Maylo and frowning, "Sano can take care of himself. He'll be okay."

'I hope,' she whispered to herself as Dr. Lavon and Sano started circling each other. Sano smiled before quickly trying to attack her from behind. But he wasn't fast enough. Megumi clamped her hands over her mouth and her eyes got wide as Dr. Lavon turned around with Sano and let her arrow go. The arrow shot forward and before Sano could avoid it, landed in his right leg. Sano fell backward as Kenshin pulled out his sword and rushed ahead and blocked another arrow from hitting Sano in the chest. He used his godlike speed to sneak behind her and brought his sword down on her head. Dr. Lavon collapsed to the floor unconscious while the girls cheered and Megumi silently cried because Sano was okay.

Kenshin helped Sano onto Aoshi's back and pulled Yahiko onto his own. They then walked over to the next door which had a small sign that read: East Tower - Kaoru Kamiya.
