Half Moon
Chapter two: Revealed
Authors note: Well people seemed to somewhat like it, so I guess I can continue? Alright ^-^ well I have been asked who he saw...so...ill start off...and away we go!
Battousai's eyes looked over at the woman, who stood half hovering over Aoshi, her arms wrapped tightly around his neck. He almost dropped his blade, but caught it just before the sword hit the ground. All that was heard was a soft clang as the tip of the katana hit the floor lightly. He saw Aoshi perk his head up.
He took a deep breath, and watched the woman some more. He felt a pang of jealousy strike within the deeper lengths of his heart. But he shook it off, and clenched his jaw, watching her some more. She had leaned down to kiss Aoshi.
"KAORU!!" The name was heard as Misao had returned, a tray of ice, and a wet cloth on the tray in her hands. She almost dropped the tray, but put it down on top of the table first.
"Yes Misao?"
"Lay off of Aoshi Kaoru!"
"Why should I?"
"He doesn't love you like he loves me!"
"He loves me more than anything, don't you Aoshi?"
Silence...Then
"Will both of you shut up? I'm sick and tired of this, just gimme the ice, and go away."
Both of the women looked taken aback on being told to go away.
"Except you Misao."
Kaoru's jaw dropped down to the ground, on hearing Aoshi asking for Misao to stay, but asking, wait, rather, forcing Kaoru to go. She growled deeply, and scoffed turning to leave.
Battousai all this while, stood there watching the girl carefully. He studied her ravenous black hair, a light blue bow fastened there. Her kimono was full of life, flowers decorating the light green, yellow tinted clothing. She had her arms crossed.
He decided it was now or never. He turned around and saw a clock. He noticed the time, and almost fell over from shock. 12:27?!
He quickly drew his blade, and rushed in. Aoshi looked up quickly, and back flipped off of the sofa he had been sitting on just as Battousai's sword connected with the tip of Aoshi's shirt. Aoshi stood back, thinking he was perfectly fine. Battousai smirked, and sheathed his katana. Suddenly, a large cut appeared on his gut, a rather shallow yet bloody gash indeed. Aoshi growled, and took out one kodachi from his blade, letting the other remain among his belt. He growled some, but before he knew it, Misao was tugging at his shirt lightly, her eyes watery.
"Aoshi, hun, please...don't do it...he might kill you..."
"Get out of the way Misao, I know you're my second-hand fighter and all but come on hun!"
Battousai's eyes widened on hearing this. He looked over at Misao, and was tempted to lunge at her, but he looked up, and saw Kaoru's frightened, yet hurt face. She really did love Aoshi. He sighed a bit, and looked up at Kaoru once more, before turning to leave.
"Battousai, you better not walk out that door. I assure you, today is the day you die!"
"Aoshi-san? Who's that man?"
"Kaoru..." She sighed sadly at not being called hun, "he is the infamous manslayer..."
Kaoru leaned forward, and pulled Misao back, and she took them, both frightened to the stairs. She began whispering over to Misao, lightly, not loud enough for Battousai to hear, but not Aoshi, since they were closer to Battousai.
"What do you think of him?"
"He's a manslayer...he kills for money and pleasure..."
"I know! How mean!"
"Come on Kaoru, we should get out of here..."
"Hai."
Kaoru threw Battousai a glare, and an annoyed look that plainly said ' I hate you, get away from this place. ' Battousai smirked a bit, and almost didn't notice Aoshi's blade, until, he did a front flip, his katana catching the kodachi. As he landed on the half torn up sofa, his leg twisted around, as he turned around while ducking. A bit of a spark emitted from the clash of the blade, and battousai, dropping his blade to the surprise of Aoshi, lunged forward, his right wrist coming up into an uppercut, slamming into his jaw. A loud 'crack' was heard, and the next minute Aoshi was slammed into the wall behind them, blood sliding out of his jaws. As Aoshi shook his head, he aimed to raise his blade, but quirked an eyebrow.
Across the room, Battousai was twirling the kodachi around. Aoshi glared at him, and reached for his other blade, but he had dropped it after the knockout punch. He looked on the floor and saw it, and battousai had seen it too. They both waited a moment, before battousai jumped a moment after Aoshi.
{He'll be more vulnerable after he has just touched the blade - though battousai }
As Aoshi managed to reach the blade, battousai had his foot on the blade itself, and twisted it, letting the hilt be at Battousai's feet. He continued into the kick, sending Aoshi backwards rapidly again, and he clenched neither of the kodachis hitting the wall.
Battousai backed out, and walked out of the room, hearing the distant sounds of the police sirens. He ran in one direction, only to find a group of police. He turned around and saw another. Looking up, he saw numerous cops lunging down at him. He had to battle.
He reached for his blade, and he was alerted to remember that he had dropped the blade at Aoshi's. He sighs a bit, and reaches to punch the nearest cop.
BANG.
As numerous cops fired at him, he was hit only 4 of the almost 100 rounds of shots. He fell down, three shots in his shoulder, and the other a very shallow skim across his forearm. He sighed a bit, and stood up, knowing he was to be caught. He struggled to his feet, only to be shot again.
He fell over unconscious, as the shot hit his knee, and blood spurted from it. As everything went blurry, he saw Aoshi smirking in the distance, and blacked out, losing all sense.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He awoke in a jail, and his blurred eyes detected another figure in the cell. He couldn't see the person, but could tell the person was a bit happy. A cheerful, chiming voice spoke into the silence, breaking the atmosphere of gloominess they were seemingly entombed in.
"Hey there...you okay?"
He wipes the sleep out of his eyes, and looks up at his shoulder, it was bandaged, and most of the pain was gone. He looked down at his knee, to see 5 bullets on the floor just near his knee.
"Who are you?"
He could see a smile, along with shining white teeth, and the figure rose. She was a girl. As she stepped into the light, she was revealed.
"Kaoru. Kaoru Kamiya."
His jaw dropped, and he quickly brought it back up, shaking his head. He was dreaming. He closed his eyes and reopened them, expecting to be dead or something like that. He shook his deep red hair, and he reopened his cold blue eyes. She was towering over him.
"Why did you help me?"
"I don't know..."
He rubbed his head, and sat up. There was but one bed. He thinned his eyes a bit, and walked to the wall, sitting back against it, letting her have the bed.
"What happened?"
She looked away darkly, and stood back a bit.
"It doesn't matter...are you okay?"
"What happened?!"
"SHUTTUP!" yelled Kaoru.
Battousai stood up kinda mad, and punched her in the gut, but he refrained from causing her any pain by missing and hitting the wall, causing a large crack to appear.
"At least tell me why you came after me."
"I was mad at Aoshi, and I decided to see why there were so many cops around. I didn't realize they were shooting at you otherwise I would've let you die. It's all your damn fault."
"So basically they thought you were helping me?"
"...Yeah..."
Silence once more. He closes his eyes, his red hair shadowing his bright amber eyes, which seem to pierce the darkness. He reopens them, the suffocating effect of darkness now fading. Standing up, he stretches out, and brushes the red hair out of his hollow eyes. He looks up at her.
"Sorry..."
"What?"
"...s...sorry..."
"Haha! The infamous battousai, manslayer extraordinaire saying sorry, can't believe it! "
"...shuttup..."
She smirks, and sits back against the wall, grinning to herself.
"You know since we'll be here for some time we should get to know each oth- hey! What are you doing!"
She pointed at him taking out a hidden dagger, and chipping away at the wall. After he had the line thinned. He kicked the bars apart, and stepped out. He offered his hand to kaoru.
"Need some help?"
"Yeah, thanks."
She stepped forward, needing help to jump over the large amount of bars. She fell forward, and landed in Battousai's arms, who instead of retreating, held her tighter closing his eyes. Realizing a moment later what was going on, they quickly let go, and Kaoru brushed her kimono off.
"Arigatou."
He nods and mutters a soft your welcome, before strolling off, picking up his katana and sakabatou, both of which were lain on the table. He unsheathed them, and with the blink of an eye, stabbed right through the sleeping guard. Kaoru's eyes widened, and she brought her hands to her mouth.
"What are you doing!"
"It will take longer if they have to take care of a dead body first."
He walked out of the station quickly, dragging Kaoru along. He shrugs it off, and walks away towards his home.
"Battousai? What is your real name?"
He thought for a moment, and nods some, looking up into her eyes softly.
"Kenshin. Kenshin Himura."
