Chapter 4

Kaoru jumped backwards, startled and shocked at the sight of the Battousai standing in front of her, asking her for help. She was so shocked, she almost tumbled off the bed.

"Wh...What do you want?" She asked, trying to regain her composure.
"Dont worry." He said, in a shockingly soft voice. "I am not here to hurt you, that I am not. I am simply here to ask your help." Her gave her the all famous Rurouni smile, and she felt her self calm instantly. 'No one with that kind of smile can be dangerous? Right?' She thought as she stared at him. She felt her eyes drift down to his open shirt, and she felt the color rise in her face.

He looked down, trying to aviod her gaze, and also to think of how much she should know. "If you give me some time, I can explain to you." She just nodded. "I may look like the Battousai, but trust me, I am not. I am quite different. I am the spirit inside of the Battousai. The one he has pushed so far away. I am Himura Kenshin. You see, every body has a spirit within it. A good, and then a bad part as well. Some how, the bad part over came the good that lives within me. Therefore my spirit was pushed away, deep inside of the Battousai. I knew you could help, and could see me. That is why I am here before you today. I need your help to get the Battousai out, and me back in. Miss Kaoru, belive me, I mean no harm and this is no trick. I am here mearly for you help." He looked at her through those violet amber eyes, and she felt the color rise in her cheeks agian.
"I believe you. But how could I possibly help?" She asked, more intreaged now than scared. 'I never knew the Battousai was so...cute.' she thought, and smiled at her self.
"You have to try to bring out some good in the Battousai. He fell in love so long ago, and..you look so much like her. Maybe if he saw you, it would spark his kinder side, allowing me some enterence to his head. It is a long shot, but I belive it will work that I do." He smiled agian, this time Kaoru smiled in return.

Two days later, Karou had thought of a plan. She traked all of the places the Battousai has been, and with that was able to identify the places he was the most. She hadn't seen that guy..."Kenshin" since that day. Oddly, Kaoru found her self missing the guy.

'How can I miss him..' she thought 'I only just met him.' But that didn't matter, beacuse she knew exactly why she wanted to see him. She wanted to see those eyes. Those beautiful eyes that when she looked at them, she felt that he was looking right at her soul.

They had the most remarkable color. Those brillantly colorful eyes. She had noticed that on the description of the Battousai, they said his eyes were abmer, but they wernt, his eyes were violet. A beautiful shade of violet. Dark in the middle, fading off to lighter as it reached the edge.

But that wasn't the only good thing about the Battousai, he had the brighest red hair she had even seen on a guy. And long. Really long. She wanted to touch it, but she knew she couldn't, he was only a spirit, after all.

She was still day dreaming when she heard her cat hiss.

'What the...'

She got up, moving ever so slowly and moved toward her kitchen, watching her steps to make sure she mad no noise, her cat somely hissed for no reason. She made her way into the kitchen, now taking her eyes off her feet and into the room itself. She saw nothing of importance, But she also so no cat. She started to turn around when a hand snaked around her waist, and the other around her mouth. Pulling her hard agianst her captive. She tried to scream, but when she tried the hand on her mouth pushed harder.

"Not a sound." A voice order in a harsh whisper. She noded her head, hoping he would lossen his hold on her, but he didn't.

He spun her around quickly and stared into her eyes. She felt the quick intake of her breath, the sweat dripping down her head, and the shaking of her hands.

'Oh no......
