Chapter 6: In the dark.
Siye awoke that morning with a beam of light that shined upon her face. She sat up and looked around remembering that she wasn't in her usual bed. Her stomach growled for some odd reason, even though she ate the night before but to her she almost always seemed hungry, not just in food, but for something else. Siye then focused her gaze onto Kaoru whom was still sleeping, Siye took a deep breath and lay back on the floor.
" Kenshin is so lucky to have Mrs. Kaoru as is wife, not only is she pretty but she is brave and strong too, I hope maybe one day I can be a good wife for Yahiko-
Siye paused and blushed dramatically, " Okay I did not just say that." Kaoru was still fast asleep so Siye wasn't worried that anyone heard. She then silenced herself, she could hear footsteps coming out from the hallway, they were coming towards the door she knew it. " Kaoru wake up someone is coming!" Siye said trying to awake the sleeping woman. " ::Dang, maybe she is still effected by the poison::" Siye thought as the door swung open. " Come with us," it was two tall muscular men, " Where are you planning on taking me?" Siye asked with all the courage she could muster, " Eshingi has requested your presence in his quarters." the man to the right said in a high- pitched voice. " What about Kaoru?" Siye asked, " The woman will stay here as of this time," the two men then shackled her wrists and lead her out of her room.
The lights were dim, it was almost creepy because she had never seen a room be this dark in the daylight. She was then taken to a large room, obviously the master bedroom. ":: Maybe I can find out something about my father::" she thought as the door swung open and the man Eshingi was sitting in a large chair about twice his size, holding a broad sword that must have been imported from another country.
Siye was then shoved onto the ground. She was on her knees, head bowed low, his sword tip gracing her neck and up to her cheek, she shivered by the cold feeling of the metal but then she felt the burning sting of the blade as it broke her skin. She winced and watched fearfully as the blood trickled down her cheek and onto the floor. " Matsu's daughter correct?" he asked. She didn't answer, but the only sign of life she gave was her heavy breathing. Eshingi stabbed the sword into the floor, " answer me!!" He shouted as she lifted her head. " That I am," she stuttered. His eyes narrowed menacingly, " And tell me what you were doing in battosai's home," " I was trying to protect them from you!" she hollered as he stood from his chair and paced around her, he walked around her and to the back, running his cold fingers through her hair, she growled under her breath.
He smirked, " You truly are the essence of your father, strong, brave, and stupid," Siye exhaled as he began walking back to his throne. Footsteps could be heard outside and several voices, " I think it's over here!" " Oh looks like we have some visitors," Eshingi said raising an eyebrow. Siye's eyes widened, " ::please don't be Kenshin.I don't want him to see me like this!::" Siye then began to lift herself off the ground and managed to limply stand until Eshingi's guards linked their arms with hers and forced her to look towards the door, " Get the other woman also guards, I believe this will be a splendid performance." Eshingi said as Siye struggled to force her way out of their grasp, but it was too late.the door was opening and two men walked through the door.
Kaoru was now awake and was probably startled by the rude entrance, " Kenshin!" She screamed in distress as the men bringing her in covered her mouth with their hand, " I don't know what you want with Kaoru but you better surrender her or I have no choice but to fight you," Kenshin said bravely unsheathing his sword, " Well Battosai it seems that you have managed to find my hideout safely," Eshingi said with a confident smile, " Kaoru are you alright?!" Yahiko asked.
Siye stopped for a moment then smiled to herself, " See Siye, if he did care about you then he would have asked you if you were okay too, he doesn't like you back so just get yourself together and defend yourself, not like they came here to save you they came for Kaoru," Eshingi only laughed, " The games played will only make my winning sweeter," He said as Matsu entered the room, " Now I shall play with my first move," Matsu had his sword ready and almost trance like got into a battle stance. " Go Matsu, don't disappoint me." " Battosai before you get to me, you must take care of my pods first," Matsu then lunged for Kenshin with the greatest of precisions and speed, almost equal n strength, " Now that I have one pod in place I shall place my next, go Siye, take care of your opponent unless you want your father to die," Siye gaped, " ::that man is my father?!::" Siye was then equipped with a sword from the guards and knew that her opponent was Yahiko. She held her sword up, " Family before friends Siye." She reminded herself as she got into battle stance but then suddenly paused as she noticed that Yahiko didn't draw his sword.
" I have to do this, if I don't my father will die!" She said as Yahiko only stood still. " Draw your sword you idiot!" She shouted running towards Yahiko as fast as she could, she was about to attack him but his unwillingness to draw his sword caused her to pause and get angry, " Don't make me kill you Yahiko!" She stuttered walking up to him and grabbing the collar of his Gi and pointing the sword directly at the neck, " ::I can't do this.::" She said only getting more angry, " Why won't you put up your sword and fight me?!" She asked as Yahiko closed his eyes and smirked, " I bet even if you wanted to you couldn't kill me," he said confidently.
" How dare you!!" She shouted pushing him onto the ground and getting on top of him, her body over his getting ready to kill. " I have to kill you, I have no choice," She said as Yahiko still had his confident smile one eye opened to look at her, " Why are you mocking me like this?!" She asked as the swishing sound of an arrow rung through siye's ears. Matsu screamed in agony, he had been pierced, " Matsu I despise you! You cannot even perform the task of fighting the Battosai!" " Dad!!" Siye yelled getting off of Yahiko and tending to her wounded father, " You beast! You are the one to be despised!" Siye shouted back to the evil man. " Kaoru- dono are you alright?!" Kenshin asked coming to the aide of his wife, " Yes Kenshin I am fine, but." Kaoru's words were stopped by Eshingi whom had his arrow pointed straight to Kenshin, " I will kill you.You will die!!" He shouted as Kenshin stood in front of Kaoru to protect her, " Why are you doing this? What has Kenshin ever done to you?!" Yahiko yelled, " He is a murderer and a filthy scoundrel! After how many lives he killed he deserves to die!" " But Kenshin is repenting of those sins!" Kaoru replied quickly.
" And what did my dad have to do with this either?!" Siye asked, " He followed in Battosai's very footsteps until I set him straight, I made sure he wouldn't kill again, with the battosai an exception." The room fell silent until Matsu began to speak, " I admit I was a murderer, but like Kenshin is doing, one can have the chance to repent but you never gave me the chance, why don't you let him live?" " Killers like him don't deserve another chance," Eshingi said firing off his arrow.
A/n: Will the arrow hit Kenshin? Is Eshingi going to come up with more terrible tricks? Tune in next time! Hopefully it should be soon! Bye!
