Half Moon
Chapter Three: A new job
A/N: Um. I guess someone wants me to .make Kaoru and Kenshin together? I don't know Nicky, I'll have to look into that =) LoL.
Warning: Um.words?
~~~~~~~~~~~
She shivered slightly, and crossed her arms across her chest, to try to warm herself up.
'Why do winters in Japan have to be so damn cold? ' She thought.
( A/N I know I used the {} for thoughts, but it got sorta annoying so ill use the ' Bear with me here ^-^;; )
Kaoru continued onwards, her fingers growing numb not only with cold, but fear.
'What would happen when she went back to Aoshi? Oh.Aoshi.I didn't meant to save his life.'
She sighed lightly, and growled some, muttering to herself.
" That stupid brat already managed to screw my life up. "
She sighed a bit, and entered Kyoto's main street. Hurrying by, she stopped at Aoshi's residence, and bit her lower lip. Unfolding her arms, she shivered. The air still had the bite of cold in it. She picked up one hand, and slid the door open. She heard the faint sounds of a few words coming from the room.
".Oh Aoshi.you are so.wonderful."
" I'm always here.for.you."
Kaoru stopped dead in her track. One thought crossed her mind, Betrayal. She was out there, getting arrested, and all Aoshi could do was have sex with Misao?
' Grr!! '
Suddenly, Aoshi turned his head on hearing the door creak open. He saw a small, petite figure with ravenous hair, Kaoru. He jumped from the sofa, half his shirt gone. Kaoru's eyes widened.
Aoshi reached out, and grabbed Kaoru's arms.
" Don't touch me! " she snapped.
Aoshi eyed her curiously, a puzzled look on his face.
" Kaoru-san, what's wrong?
" What's wrong?! Ill tell you what's wrong! I go off getting arrested for no reason, am stuck in the freezing cold, and all you can do is, " she took a deep breath at this point swallowing, " fool around with Misao!"
Aoshi looked confused, and then laughed.
" Oh that? That's nothing! You see we - "
" - you stupid bitch, why the hell did I even love you I don't know! Get the hell out of my life, before I slit your throat! "
Aoshi simply stared at her. No one threatened Aoshi, and got away with it. No one.
" Shut the hell up bitch! "
And Aoshi flung himself at her, his kodachi coming up to meet her throat. His ice-cold blue eyes showed no mercy, and she felt the blade hit her throat. But she also felt it stop, and Aoshi fell down to the floor.
Had he tripped? No.someone had interfered.
Aoshi got up quickly, and searched the room. He eyed the stranger, in the doorway, who had a sword up to Kaoru's throat, horizontally. So that's why he didn't hit her.
Battousai stepped up, and thinned his hollow amber eyes at Aoshi, as he stood looking up at Aoshi.
" Aoshi Kastsagari. I never thought you'd stoop so low as to take the life from someone who cherishes you dearly, let alone a woman. "
" I."
There was a bit of silence for a moment, before Misao jumped over the sofa, with no shirt on. Her cheerful voice chimed through the deathly silence.
" Hiya guys! "
Kaoru glared up at Aoshi, who had a sweat drop slide down his face. She spat in his face " Liar! "
Misao stepped clearly into view, and they noticed that half of Aoshi's shirt was wrapped around her. There was something red seeping through the clothing.
Blood.and lots of it.
Kaoru looked up at Aoshi, confused. Aoshi returned a glare at her, before his ice-cold blue eyes fixed them upon Misao. A hand went up into the air, before sliding down Misao's arm, which held much blood as well. She winced and looked up at Aoshi, a look of pure pain dwelling deep within her skin surfacing and shining as though a light through her eyes.
" Aoshi-san."
Aoshi reached out and caught her, just as she collapsed, her eyes rolling back into her head. Her body remained still, before a cough was heard, and blood spilled down her front.
" She was shot.in the stomach.and in the arm. One bullet scratched a vein and her lung, so she has trouble breathing.and she bleeds."
Kaoru put a hand up to her mouth, her eyes wide.
" Battousai.get out of here.you are unwanted."
" Why? "
" I said leave! "
He grunted, before pulling the blade back into his sheath with a small click. He let his hakama flow a bit as he opened the door, snow now pouring onto the streets. Battousai smirked, and left, the cold air around him showing no competition to the coldness in his eyes.
His blue eyes traveled back to the long tresses of hair that had been flowing when he opened the door, belonging to Kaoru. He tilted his head in amusement, and nodded some, wondering how it would feel to slice open her arm, and see how much love she could hold then.
Oh how the urge to hurt such a delicate woman..
But was that really what he was thinking about.?
Or was it just a cover -up?
Battousai shook his head, the long red hair flying from his face. He headed back to his own home, and sat down upon a sofa, taking out a sheath from his belt. He leaned it against his shoulder, and sat upright on the sofa, bowing his head forward, and letting his hair fall back over his face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Kenshin awoke with a start, shaking the sleep out of his eyes. He groggily looked around his room, thoroughly confused. He closed his eyes for a moment, and reopened them perfectly normal. His cold blue eyes traveled over his room as to detect nothing missing.
After confirming that nothing had been stolen, he stretched out, and walked to the shower, taking a quick one. He came out, his wet red hair sticking to his shoulders and cheek. He couldn't tie up the ponytail just yet. He walked towards the kitchen, to make some green tea. His dark blue hakama slid loosely around his body.
He poured himself a cup of green tea, and sipped it, before spitting it out. Something was wrong with it. He instead poured himself a cup of black coffee, and added a little bit of milk and sugar, but not much. He drank the coffee slowly, and then poured water over the sink. He headed to his sofa, and noticed a notice there.
As he walked to the sofa, he picked up the notice, and read it. It was a new job. He quirked an eyebrow and thought to himself some, as he stood up perfectly straight. He put the sheath back against his hakama, the belt tying around it. He walked outside, not bringing his sakabatou for once. He headed towards a rather tiny and unnoticeable building just a mile from his own home. After a few minutes of walking he walked inside the building, and looked around.
A young man with a white bandana around his head was sitting by a dark staircase. The day was indeed a dark and cloudy day. He walked towards him, and his cold blue eyes met his brown eyes.
The rather tall figure stood up, towering over Kenshin. He raised a fist, and sent it straight to Kenshin's face, who easily dodged the blow, and brought out his own hilt to smash into the gut of the man standing before him, who got hit, and was sent flying back into a wall but he stood up again. Any normal man hit by that blow would have been unconscious.
" Well, you are indeed the true Battousai, I just had to check. "
A cold voice responded, emitting itself from Kenshin's throat. " Shut up and give me the damn job. "
" Feisty aren't we? " Was the cool response from the taller figure.
The figure turned to the wall, and pulled off a white jacket-like piece of clothing, and wrapped it around his bandaged chest. He stepped into the light that was emitted from a rather tiny candle on the nearby wall.
The light illuminated a skinny yet long face, with brown hair to match his perfectly brown eyes. He was much taller than kenshin, and his pants stopped short of a few inches above his ankles, which were bandaged. He wore black shoes, and had a toothpick in his mouth.
" The names Sagara. Sagara Sanouske.and your job is her. "
He holds up a framed picture of a woman, with ravenous black hair, and blue eyes. Very warm blue eyes at that. The woman was wearing a purple flowered kimono.
" Her name is Kamiya Kaoru and your job is to kidnap her. Do not hurt her until further instructions are given; understand? "
A smirk passed Kenshin's lips as his eyes lit up, coldly.
" Of course I won't hurt her.at least not yet. "
A/N: Wow what a boring chapter. Next one will be MUCH better I promise!! Also, if you don't mind leaving some ideas.I would greatly appreciate it. Should I make Kaoru and Kenshin fall in love? or should I wait a while? Well tell me all about it, bye!
