Kenshin slept well that night dreaming about Kaoru and him until
Tomoe appeared, replacing Kaoru. "Kenshin," Tomoe said as she wore Kaoru's
dark purple kimono which had yellow and red flowers running along it,
"Kenshin I am watching over you no and forever." That was all she said
before Kenshin heard Yahiko yell out his name and then felt a cold liquid
of water on him making his eyes fly pen and the vision of Tomoe disappear.
"It's about time you woke up Kenshin," Yahiko cried, "it's about 1:00"
Yahiko snickered as Kenshin jumped up and stood away from the wall where he
had been resting against. He kicked Yahiko out frowning as he looked around
the room, maybe Kaoru being takin away from the hospital was just a
nightmare so he instantly attached his sword to his belt and ran off to
find either Yahiko or Sano in hopes that they would tell them that it had
all just been a dream. Sighing he found Yahiko outside the dojo with his
wooden sword doing some swings, "Yahiko!" Kenshin called running up to the
boy who paused and looked over to Kenshin "yeah?" "where's Kaoru?" he asked
instantly "how am I supposed to know?" he said sadly. He had obviously been
trying to forget about what had happened at the hospital but what mattered
to Kenshin most was that it was real and that Kaoru was gone. He gulped and
shook his head he wouldn't let anyone touch her, he would get the man that
stole her from him. Why of all things was it always Kaoru? why was she
always bait? he sighed and looked around the dojo he hoped that Tomorrow
would come faster.
"Kenhsin," Yahiko interrupted his thoughts, "shouldn't you practice you know for your battle?" Kenshin looked at Yahiko and walked back into the dojo towards the training room where Kaoru usually practiced with her students. He looked around and pulled out his Reverse Blade Sword and slashed it around, then he jumped against a wall and pushed away appearing on the wall across from it. He smiled and ran and jumped off a wall landing gracefully on his feet, he would keep his vow of not killing with the sword but that didn't mean that he would go easy on his new opponent. Breathing in and out he continued to train until his stomach growled and realized it was time for lunch.
"Yahiko lunch" he called out the door as he placed the meal on the table, Yahiko ran in and immediately sat down grabbing as much food as possible. When Sano walked in and grabbed some of his own, food was flying as Kenshin finished his meal and Sano and Yahiko's hand were right at the last rice ball. Quickly diving for it Yahiko grabbed it in triumph but Sano grabbed and threw his across the room Yahiko loosing his grip on the rice ball dropping it on the ground where Sano was able to grab it. He was about to stick it in his mouth but Yahiko came out of nowhere and knocked him down Sano loosing the rice ball, however when Yahiko was about to grab it Ayame and Suzume ran in with a small cat at their feet. The cat ran for the rice ball and picked it up and began to chew on it, Sano and Yahiko were staring at the cat, Kenshin laughing nervously, and Suzume and Ayame smiled happily as they watched the small ginger colored cat slowly yet the rice ball.

Kaoru looked around her, she sat there on the ground arms tied the young figure that was still able to hide in the darkness stood by the stove and waited "I see your finally awake," they said, "I didn't really want to walk over there and wake you up." He looked over at the stove and stood up, he grabbed two bowls and poured some soup in them, they walked over and untied her hands before handing her one of the bowls. Too hungry to decline she took the bowl and quickly ate her miso soup. Kaoru could feel the persons eyes upon her and she quickly said "it's good thank-you so much" she placed the bowl down before her hands were tied again "I was thinking of tying your feet together too but I figured that you would be a smart girl and not run away from me" "and if I do?" Kaoru asked glaring at the shadow "you will pay dearly." With that the person walked off shadowed by the night. Kaoru sighed and looked around. She had been asleep for sometime but oh well she didn't care of the torture she would be getting she had to escape before Kenshin came after her. Quickly getting up with quite some effort she looked around and ran out the door.
"Fool," they watched her run out, "this is going to be fun" then they ran off after her.
Kaoru ran as fast as she could along the riverbank, how far away was she from the dojo anyway? She didn't care right now all she had to do was escape from whoever her kidnapper was and tell Kenshin that she was okay. She gasped when she heard a loud noise from behind her she pushed her legs to run faster but she was knocked down face first. "I warned you" the figure said raising a fist and began to beat Kaoru, she began to cry as she felt the pain run through her body maybe she would need Kenshin after all. They person gave her a blow to the head knocking her unconscious, they flung her over their shoulder before running back to the hut where he had been staying.

Kenshin twisted and turned in his sleep he was mdreaming about Kaoru again but this time it wasn't a happy dream like the night before this time he saw Kaoru being punched and abused by a figure covered in shadows, he watched in horror as he watched the figure slam their fist into her head knocking Kaoru unconscious.
He made a sudden jolt that knocked him to the ground sword first making his head slam against the hilt. He frowned and felt his head, tomorrow at midnight his fight to save Kaoru would begin.
