Chapter 3~
**********
There was blood everywhere. Blood smell fills the air around him. But he couldn't see any body. Then suddenly , a bright light appear in front of him. It blinded him for a while.
After a moment the light disappear and he saw a door in front of him. Without any thought , he opened the door. He felt hate swallowed him whole.
Kaoru's body hung lifelessly on the wall.
"Kaoru!!!!!....." he screamed as loud as he could , but he couldn't reached her.
**********
Kenshin woke up with a start. His breathing was frantic.
"It's just a dream," he tell himself again and again , but the feeling of uneasiness was still there. Suddenly , he felt a different ki outside. He rushed to the door and opened it but he couldn't find anybody there.
There was only a letter outside the room door. He opened the letter without futher delay.
Battousai ,
We had taken your woman. If you want her back , fight us at the hut 2 miles across the river Tonight 12 midnight.Be sure to come on the exact time or we won't know if our sword acidently slice her throat.
His eyes blazed with rage after he had read the letter.
"I'll make them pay for this," he thought as he went back inside.
**********
Kaoru felt weaker and weaker.
"Kenshin..." was the only thing in her mind. The door burst open and she could see two male figure approaching her. She could sense that they were drunk from the alcohol smell that fills the room.
"Why don't we play with the Battousai's woman before he arrive ?" one of them said to the other while bending down to look at her.
"I don't think that Yamada will agree to this ," said the other one feeling slightly worried.
"Why should we be scared of him ? He's not here right now," replied the first man.
"What do want from me ?" Kaoru snarled.
"You should know what I want," said the first man as he tore her kimono. Kaoru screamed
"Let go of me or you'll pay for this!."
"Oh..really? let's see then.." he said just before he was forcefully pulled backward and tossed to the wall. Yamada had just came in when he heard Kaoru screamed.
"What the hell is wrong with you both? I told you not to touch her!." he said in an angry tone.
"I'm sorry Yamada. We won't do it again" said the other man while picking up his friend and carried him outside.
"So he's the Yamada they talk about earlier."Kaoru thought in wardly. He's the one who came in yesterday.
"Eat." he said while he toosed an apple to her.
"Thank..for saving me," she said just before he left.

"Sano!!..wake up we have to ask Kenshin about Kaoru" Yahiko shouted at his ear.
"You're right. I almost forgot about it" Sano replied while he jumped up from the futon and rushed out together with Yahiko to Kenshin's room.
"Sano you go in." Yahiko said.
"Very funny..why don't you go in first?" Sano protested.
"There's no time for this. Let's go in together." Yahiko replied impatiently.
"Alright. Fair and square" Sano replied while he and Yahiko open Kenshin's room door together.
"WHAT????......" they both shouted.
Kenshin's gone.
