Chapter Two

The next morning, Kaoru woke to the sound of somebody pounding on the front door. She sat up, wondering what in the world was going on. She got out of bed and walked to the slide door. She put her ears to it.

"I told you before, Noyu, I will not tell you what I brought in last night," Kaoru knew that voice. That was Kenshin.

"Oh come on! Pleeeeasssseee?" that voice was not known to her, but from what Kenshin had said, his name was Noyu.

Kenshin frowned, his amber eyes flashing with anger. "Noyu if I tell you. I will have to kill you," he threatened, and with that he slammed the door in Noyu's face.

Kenshin walked over to the kitchen and sighed. 'I'll probably have to make Kaoru some breakfast. Why me?' he thought. He continued on his way making miso soup.

Kaoru smelled the food and got up. She walked out of Kenshin's room and walked into the living room. "Umm. . . hello," she said, trying her best not to sound scared, but she knew that Tokishi would be angered when he found her missing on her wedding day.

She frowned when she thought of his name. 'Ugh! That pig!' she thought. 'I'm glad Kenshin came and kidnapped me because even though he doesn't know it he actually saved me!!!'

Kenshin didn't return the greeting. He only grunted, as if he'd rather be somewhere else. After he finished the miso soup, he put it on the small table and said, "You stay here. I have a meeting with Katsura. He's not going to like that you're here, believe me. Don't get in any trouble or you will regret it." He said the 'will' with more power.

Kaoru tried not to gasp at his icy cold voice, but she let out a sigh. "Just one thing : Why didn't you kill me?" she asked.

Kenshin turned to look at her, tying his katana to his waist. He frowned for a millisecond, and then thought better. 'I shouldn't let this girl know of what I saw in her eyes. I must not let her know that I am heavily attracted to her.' Kenshin mentally slapped himself. 'WHAT??? Where the heck did that come from??? 'Heavily attracted to her'? NO FREAKIN WAY!!!'

Kaoru could see that he was fighting with himself but didn't let the matter drop. "I must know! If there is something this Katsura guy wants of me, he won't have it! And if you kidnapped me just for me to be company, I would be very angry!!!" Kaoru didn't realize she had begun to yell.

Kenshin allowed his shock to be shown for moment, then regained his control over his facial emotions. "Yes. There is something Katsura wants of you. I just don't know what that is at the moment," Kenshin slammed the door and locked it from the handle, two more up top, with a key, and another lock on the bottom.

Kaoru raised an eyebrow. 'Man he has a lot of locks.' She thought. Then she realized he had just walked out on her. She ran over to the door and began to pound on it. "Kenshin Himura you let me out right now!!!" she screamed.

Kenshin raised an eyebrow, still standing at the door. 'Geesh.' He thought. 'I thought she was a gentle and kind girl. Guess I thought wrong and maybe she was just too frightened. I have a bad feeling about this.' He walked down the hallway.

But the door to the apartment next to him opened. Noyu popped his head out and smiled. "So you're keeping a 'girl' in there, aren't you Himura?" he asked, his cheesy grin getting bigger by the second.

Kenshin frowned at him. "Maybe. Maybe not," he answered, continuing down the hall. He frowned more angrily when he heard Noyu laugh behind him.

"Who is she? Your grandmother???" Noyu asked. "Or maybe, she's a girl you picked up from after school?" he joked.

Kenshin felt like turning around and slashing him, but remembered what happened last time he did that. Katsura almost considered letting him go. So instead he turned around and yelled, "I don't go to school!" he got in the elevator and headed down, trying his best to block out the laughter coming from Noyu.

Kaoru continued to pound on the door for at least a half hour, until she realized there was no way he'd come back. She stopped her pounding and ate her now cold miso soup. Though cold it was actually some of the best soup she ever had.

'Gee. Kenshin's quite the cook.' She thought. Sighing, she saw there was no TV. She looked outside the window. Looking down to the ground, she saw Kenshin get into a car and drive away.

"Man," she said aloud. "Takes him a half hour to get down this stupid building???" she chuckled softly and sat down on the couch, thinking.

'What if he knows about me and my powers?' she wondered to herself. She lifted her eyes from the ground over to the fireplace, which shinned brightly in the sunlight. She could see her reflection and saw her eyes, and she didn't even gasp when she saw them. She had seen them plenty of times before and actually got into the habit of doing it.

Her eyes turned from their natural pools of blue to a pale, and sad looking blue. She smiled, and sent a small spark of amber through them for a moment, and looked outside. It was heavily raining, and the sound of thunder could be heard throughout Tokyo.



Kenshin looked from outside from his window in the car and cursed silently. 'Why is there a thunder storm? Just a few moments ago it was sunny like no tomorrow!' he wondered.

He got out of the car and opened an umbrella that the driver gave him. He looked up at the dark building. 'Katsura.' He thought to himself, not knowing the thought had came into his mind until he walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

A steward opened the door and greeted him in, calling him, "Mr. Battousai." Kenshin walked into the dark room, seeing the table with only one light hovering above it. There were two chairs. One empty, the other already taken across the table.

Katsura smiled, evilly at Kenshin. "I heard you got a new pet," he said, his voice showing a hint of humor.

"Yes, and she's very emotional," Kenshin joked around. "I don't think she likes her cage one bit."

Katsura's smile grew bigger, going from one ear to the other. "I have to tell you I am very glad you didn't kill her for I just found out she is of good use to us. And she is very beautiful, as I hear it from your neighbor, Noyu. He said he saw her when you carried her in last night."

Kenshin didn't flinch but silently told himself to kill that man.

"No no, Himura. It's alright. That girl has extreme power of controlling the weather, whether she likes it or not. When her eyes turn a different color, they turn into a different type of weather. Of course, if her emotions are extreme she can't help it. So when she's sad, it rains. When she's angry, there's thunder," Katsura made one of his many speeches.

Suddenly, as if on cue, there was a huge 'BOOM!' of thunder. Katsura smiled, looking up. Then he looked back over at Kenshin. "Have a seat Himura. I have to tell you some things."

Kenshin walked over to the chair but didn't sit down.

Katsura laughed. "Himura I like you. You're my best employee ever, and have made a record of so many assassinations that I lost track some time ago. I am very pleased. Of course, I want to use the Kamiya girl against Tokishi. I know that Kamiya actually was never touched by him, if you. . . .catch my drift," he said.

Kenshin was shocked. 'So that's why I thought her so innocent! Because she was!' he thought.

Katsura smiled, evilly. "We will be calling every now and then to use her against him, or anybody else. In fact, she'll be of great use for a long time. But during the time that she isn't doing anything, I don't know where we'll put her," he said.

Kenshin caught Katsura's sarcasm immediately. Frowning, he sighed. "Very well. . . . Kaoru will stay with me," he said, much to his displeasure. Or was it?

Katsura laughed. "Awwww. . . . . Himura you are so nice to me. Now run along. In return for keeping her, I give you permission to do whatever you'd like to her. . . all except kill her."

Kenshin frowned. "I've told you before, Katsura. I don't need a love-life again," he said. He turned around, and thought about it more carefully. Standing outside, he looked up.

It was raining harder then ever it had. And the thunder got louder every time. His eyes grew big when he saw lightening strike a tree. 'I better get out of here before a fire begins. . . .' he thought.

He got into the car and drove away, back towards the tall skyscraper where Katsura's entire employee staff lived. When he got back out, a little while later, he looked up and saw his window.

There, Kaoru was on the couch in front of the window, staring outside, tears rolling down her cheek, her eyes a pale aqua color. How Kenshin could see all this, he would never know.
