Chapter Eleven

Little did the smiling giddily Kenshin know that somebody, other then Kaoru, was watching him. In the shadows the figure watched with seemingly endless blue eyes. The figure smiled, large white teeth showing. 'Gotcha. . .'

Meanwhile, Kenshin was having the time of his life, washing Sano's clothing. He smiled, eyes bright violet. 'Kaoru-'dono' ain't gonna be 'proud' of you, ya know! It's only washing clothing not that much of a big deal!' Battousai told him.

Rurouni blushed. 'I think Kaoru-dono would like it, de gozaru yo,' he said, shyly.

'Well she's not.'

'What make's you think that?'

'Well, if you hadn't noticed, there's somebody 'other' then her watching you.'

'Really? Where?'

'Over there.'

Kenshin looked up and into the shadows of the trees. He frowned when he saw something move on the tree. A scarf got caught in the tree and was wrapped around a branch. Kenshin's frown deepened. The scarf was dark red.

'I know that scarf. . .' he thought, eyes turning amber. 'Why wouldn't I? I fought against him several times and he's probably back for more. . .that idiot. . .'

The figure landed safely on the ground behind the fence. 'He saw me!' he thought. 'Darn, Battousai isn't getting as weak as I had hoped he would be. He's still there a bit. . .Better tell the boss!' the figure ran as fast as he could away from Katsura's property.

Kaoru watched this scene unfold and how Kenshin's eyes had turned from the most happiest violet she had ever seen on him into a very hating amber, though not as bad as she had seen before.

Yahiko watched from behind her, his mind screaming, 'What is up with this girl? Does she like Kenshin or something? But then, why is she so stiff and everything? Is something bad going on??? SOMEBODY TELL ME!!!!!!!!!!!'



The figure walked down a long red carpet, apparently in a cave somewhere, down toward a throne. On the throne sat a figure dressed completely in orange and blue. The figure bowed. "My lord, I have news!" he called.

The person sitting on the throne smiled wickedly. "Good. . . finally, Jin-eh! What is it?"

Jin-eh looked up at the person sitting on the throne. "Battousai grows soft, but is still not ready to be attacked yet! Funny that this has happened to him before and yet he doesn't realize it's happening again!" he said.

The person sitting on the throne laughed. "Excellent, at least we're getting somewhere!" he cried.

Suddenly, a messenger came scrambling in. He bowed, and without looking up said, "Your Majesty, there is a message for you from Katsura!" the messenger gave the lord the message then scrambled out of the room in fear of his life.

The lord opened up the message and began to read it through his small circled spectacles. He smiled. "So they have room mates. . .what a pleasant surprise. . .Yes Katsura you treat me well!" he said.

Jin-eh smiled, his huge white teeth showing. "My lord, shall I continue to spy?" he asked, as though it weren't obvious.

The lord laughed. "Of course! Now get out there!" he said with a bit more anger then usual, getting tired of Jin-eh's stupid jokes.

Jin-eh bowed and before he came out of the cave, he turned around and said, "Of course, Lord Enishi!"



Kenshin wasn't too happy that he was being spied on, so he got everybody inside and shut all the windows. "It is not safe don't you see?" he asked them all.

Sano scratched the top of his head, wearing his newly washed clothes that shone out a wonderfully bright white. "Why not, Kenshin?" he asked.

Kenshin rolled his eyes. 'This man obviously doesn't know that he's talking to Battousai, the manslayer. . .What an idiot!' Battousai cried.

Rurouni looked sad. 'Sanosuke isn't an idiot! He's actually quite smart. . . .I think. . . .' he said, then trailed off realizing his mistake.

Megumi pouted, then cheered up a bit. "I'll stay inside if you play with me, Ken-san!" she purred. She was suddenly being attacked by a very angry Kaoru.

"Don't talk to Kenshin like that, you stupid kitsune!!!!! Don't you see that he doesn't like it???" she screamed, banging Megumi on the head with the bokken she had pulled off the rack on the wall.

Sano sneered. "Looks like 'somebody' is jealous!" he said, pointing to Kaoru. He obviously didn't know how much of a temper Kaoru really had.

"WHY YOU LITTLE. . . ." Kaoru was immediately gnawing on Sano's head. Yahiko laughed at the sight of Sano while Megumi took her chance to get closer to Kenshin, only to find him missing.

"Hey! Where's Ken-san?" she asked nobody.

Everybody stopped what they were doing and looked around for Kenshin, but couldn't find him.

Kenshin smiled as he sat inside of his room, happy to get away from the whole commotion. Good thing he locked the doors and that only he knew the code to them so everybody wouldn't try to get out.

Or. . . so he thought.



Yahiko smiled evilly. 'Just a little more to the right. . . and. . . .' he turned to little dial, listening carefully for the little click he expected.

But unfortunately for him, he couldn't hear anything with Kaoru and Megumi bickering with Sano pointing out that they were both insane girls, which would make them beat HIM up. Yahiko rolled his eyes. 'Those idiots. . . .' he thought.

"Hey!!!! BE QUIET!!!!" he shouted, but it was for nothing, because nobody could hear him. Little did Yahiko know that somebody was peeping through the shades.

Jin-eh smiled. 'Ahhhhhh. . . .so you tried to lock them all in, eh Battousai?' he asked nobody inside his head.

He smiled wickedly. 'Step completed. Battousai shields himself from nothing and puts himself into a barrier he can't get out of!" Jin-eh laughed and cackeled evilly. "Soon Battousai. . ." he whispered. "Soon. . ."

To Be Continued. . .
