Chapter Fourteen

Kaoru sighed happily as she watched Enishi's happy face. 'Gee, never seen Kenshin do that before. . .' her happy face turned into a slight frown at the thought of Kenshin. 'I wonder how long it'll take him to find this place. . . wherever we are. . .' Kaoru was just hit by a thought then. 'Oh no!!! Kenshin will probably fight with Enishi!!! This is not good. . .'

Enishi looked at Kaoru's troubled face. "What's the matter, dearest?" he asked. 'Dearest' was just a small joke of his that he called Kaoru.

Kaoru immediately smiled a little too cheerful. "Oh nothing!" though her train of thought was, 'Gods above, why does he call me dearest??? I've only lost my virginity to Kenshin. . . I mean. . . me and Enishi we never. . .' Kaoru slapped that evil thought out of her head. 'No way I'm ever going THAT far with him!!!'



Sano took another drink from his sake bottle. He smiled giddily at Megumi. "Hey fox, have you seen Kenshin lately?" he asked.

Megumi turned to him, a thoughtful look on her face. "Hmm. . . now that you mention it, I haven't seen Ken-san all day!!! Or last night!!! He was looking for Kaoru, remember???"

Sano nodded, and Megumi couldn't tell if he was agreeing with her or if he was nodding off to sleep. Suddenly, Yahiko pushed through the door, a startled look on his face. "KENSHINANDKAORUAREMISSINGANDKAORU'SBEENKIDNAPPEDANDKENSHINWENTLOOKINGFORHER ANDNOWTHEYSTILLHAVEN'TRETURNEDANDSOMEPOLICEGUYISLOOKINGFORKENSHIN!!!!" he yelled extremely fast.

Sano smiled, "Whoa whoa whoa. . . pipe down punk! Now what was that??? Tell it more slowly!!!"

        Megumi nodded with him.

Yahiko gave them both exasperated looks. Then he sighed and said, "Kenshin and Kaoru are missing, and Kaoru's been kidnapped and Kenshin went looking for her and now they still haven't returned and some police guy is looking for Kenshin!"


Sano frowned and got up. "Right. . . we'll just have to find him. But how did you know all this?" he asked, his voice going a bit more smoother, and Megumi actually secretly believed that Sano's voice was EXTREMLY dreamy. Of course, she wouldn't admit this even to herself!

Yahiko handed Sano a note. "Read this!"

Sano frowned. "Right. . . let's go!" On the note had been Kenshin telling him he wouldn't be returning for some time to get Kaoru back. Sano didn't know where he was, but if he looked around hard enough, anybody could have spotted a man with long blood red hair and a X shaped scar on his left cheek.

He, Yahiko and even Megumi went out searching for both Kenshin and Kaoru, and the police guy helped them. He said his name was Saitoh Hajime.



What felt like years went by, though it was only a month. Kaoru began to wonder what was going on with Kenshin, and why hadn't he come to get her out of here!!!

Kenshin sat, perched atop a tree, still thinking, memories of this place giving him haunted dreams. Thinking up a plan to save Kaoru wasn't as easy as it sounded. Another thought also haunted him.

Kenshin realized that he was jealous of Enishi. Why, he knows not. Or at least the Battousai doesn't. 'Rurouni, I don't get it. Why am I jealous???' Battousai asked, grief apparent in his voice.

Rurouni smiled. "Sessha thinks it is probably because you have feelings for her, de gozaru yo.'

Battousai looked at his good-side's bright violet eyes. 'You really think so? Like what?' Battousai couldn't believe he was actually asking Rurouni for advice. He never thought the day would come. But it looks like it did.

Rurouni blushed. 'Well, Sessha. . . sessha. . . sessha loves Kaoru- dono!' he finally admitted.

Battousai smirked. 'Right. . .'

'Really!!! Sessha does!!!'

'Uh huh. . . sure you do. . .'

'I DO I DO!!!'

'You mean you wanna hold her?'

'Hai!'

'Squeeze her?'

'Hai!'

'Then you gotta go in that hole and kick Enishi's ass!!!'

'HAI!!!' Battousai laughed uncontrollably as Rurouni went running off into the distant and to the hole. He watched as Rurouni jumped into it, very quietly, determined to win back his love.

In reality, Kenshin jumped into the hole, going unnoticed since Enishi and Kaoru were in a different room. Amber-pinkish eyes darted across the room. He walked over to where Enishi stood, hand wavering over his katana, ready to strike at any blessed moment.

Kenshin looked over at Kaoru, when his eyes widened with fear. Kaoru's stomach had a slight bump on it. That could only mean one thing! Kaoru. . . was. . . pregnant with a child!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now solid amber eyes glared daggers at Enishi. Kenshin wasn't sure if the child was his or not, but hey, he couldn't remember that night very good anymore. All he knew was that Kaoru had lost her virginity.

Enishi sensed somebody else in the room. He turned around to see burning amber eyes throwing daggers at him. He smirked, and grabbed Kaoru violently. "Ahhh. . . Battousai! I see you've finally come!!!" he cried out.

Kaoru turned to see Kenshin, glaring at Enishi. Her eyes of happiness turned to eyes of sorrow, to see Kenshin and to know she had been cheating on him. That's when a overly loud voice came into her head and said, 'He doesn't love you!!! Of course not!!! You've had so much better times with Enishi!!! He loves you!'

Just then, a much smaller voice told the other one, 'No! That's not true!!! I love Kenshin, and he loves me!!! I was only pretending to love Enishi to make him happy!!!'

'Then THAT means you're a traitor!! A traitor to BOTH men!!!' the louder one shouted.

'No!! No!!! No!!!! No I'm not!!! I love Kenshin, and he loves me!' the smaller voice cried, getting louder by the minutes.

'Then why is he glaring at you??? Why hasn't he been very nice to you???' snorted the louder one.

'He isn't glaring at me, he's glaring at Enishi!!! Enishi, whom I helped very goodly!!!' the smaller one cried again, voice getting stronger.

'You really want to believe that?'

'YES!!!'

Kaoru stopped fighting with herself. She knew what would happen next. Enishi and Kenshin would fight, and one of them would win and the other would die. Or so she thought.

"Get your filthy hands off her, Yukishiro!" Kenshin cried out, his cold as ice voice and his burning amber eyes growing strong every minute.

Enishi smirked. "No way ho zay!! She's mine now!!! And so is that child!!!" Enishi shouted at Kenshin.

Kaoru was shocked. She and Enishi. . . had Enishi. . . . WHAT??? They had never done that!! Kaoru watched as Kenshin's angry face turned surprised also. She also saw a tinge of jealousy, but then Kenshin's face went back to angry.

"I see you're surprised, Kaoru, my dear! Well you should be! I took you in when you were sleeping! You're such a little angel when you're asleep. . ." Enishi laughed evilly.

"No! I'll never believe that!!! Come over here and fight like a man, Yukishiro!!!" Kenshin taunted. He hated this man, though deeply, he felt a tinge of sorry for the poor man. After all, Kenshin WAS the one who had killed Enishi's sister.

Enishi roughly pushed Kaoru backwards, and because of her unbalanced stomach, she went toppling down. She looked up at his greedy face, and finally understood that Enishi didn't actually love her. He was just using her to get to Kenshin. She also realized, she didn't love Enishi.

Kaoru watched as both Kenshin and Enishi got into a fighting stance, and suddenly, she couldn't see Kenshin. It was as if he vanished into thin air. With Kenshin's god-like speed, he rushed over to Enishi, began slashing at him.

Enishi blocked and blocked and blocked, until he was the one who was slashing. He smirked, using his large sword.

Kaoru watched in horror as the man she loved fought the man who had betrayed her. 'Now I see why they call him the Battousai. . .' she thought. Kenshin was like a swan, every movement he made was so graceful, and yet so deadly. "Ken. . . shin. . ."

"Ryo Sou Sen!!!" shouted Kenshin, and he plunged toward Enishi. Enishi dodged easily, and struck Kenshin at the shoulder. Kenshin sloppily blocked, and got cut slightly on his shoulder.

Kenshin bit back the urge to cry out a little in pain, but his pride didn't let him. He continued on with the fight, ever so slowly wearing down Enishi.



Meanwhile, back to Sano, Yahiko, Megumi and Saitoh. . . .

"Have we found Kenshin yet????" asked a desperate Sano.

"Shut up, moron. . ." commanded the no emotion voice of Saitoh.

"Who are you calling moron, moron?"

"I SAID, shut up, moron."

"Don't tell ME to shut up, moron! And stop calling me moron!"

"C'mon, let's get a move on, moron."

"STOP CALLING ME THAT!!!!!!!!!"



The battle urged on between Kenshin and Enishi. Kenshin had cut Enishi arm, badly, and Enishi had cut Kenshin's leg. Really, between the two, they were almost even.

Kaoru continued to watch in utter horror. That's when she felt arms wrap around her. She turned to see Jin-eh, smiling greedily. Kaoru frowned. Even though she was a month pregnant, she was still strong!

Kaoru viciously started to punch the living day light out of Jin-eh. She took his sword, still sheathed, and began to knock all sense out of the poor man. Jin sloppily fell to the floor. Kaoru smiled, wickedly. 'Well. . . THAT went nicely!!!'

Kaoru turned back to the fight to see that Kenshin had knocked Enishi's sword from his hands. Enishi fell to the floor on his back. She heard him say, "Go ahead. . . kill me. But you'll still be haunted by me and my sister!!!"

Kenshin raised his sword to give the last blow that would instantly kill Enishi. Kaoru's eyes widened. She remembered what she said to him.



"But maybe you should help people, and atone for your sins! Kenshin, that is what you should do!" She told him.



"NOOO!!!!" Kaoru cried out. "Kenshin! Don't kill him!!!" She rushed out in front of Enishi only to watch Kenshin's sword come swinging down. She closed her eyes, waiting for the pain to come.

To Be Continued. . . . .
