Disclaimers: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin.

*Last time:*

"Both of you should just sit down and tell us what happened, that you should." Kenshin said, trying to break up the fight.

"You are right Kenshin," they both said in unison. So everybody then sat in chairs that surrounded the hospital bed that Kaoru layed in.

"You should start Misao," Kenshin suggested.

"Hai. Okay, it all started like this…."

*End of what happened last time*

Chapter 6: What had happened!

*~Flashback~* (Misao's P.O.V.)

I was walking around the stalls of the city, everything was so pretty. There were beautiful silk kimonos everywhere, such a …

(Interruption- Sano: Yo weasel girl shut-up about the clothes and sites and get on with the explosions. Misao: What did you call me rooster-head! Sano: Why I oughta. Misao: You oughta what? Sano & Misao: You want a piece of me! Kenshin: Maa maa, come now, this is no time to fight that it isn't. Sit down and Misao continue the story. Sano & Misao: Sorry Kenshin. Misao: Anyway where was I? Oh yes…- End of interruption.)

It was such a site. After about an hour of this I decided to eat some lunch, so I went to eat at a nearby restaurant. That's when I saw the rooster-head.

(Interruption- Sano: Hey watch it weasel. Kenshin: Sano (Kenshin giving him a stern stare) continue Misao. Misao: Right Kenshin.-End of interruption)

He tried to sneak in after me. At first I thought he was there on break, but I noticed he kept shooting glances at me, so I figured Kenshin sent him. I wasn't completely sure. So I paid the bill and left the restaurant. I saw him following me, so that made me know he was sent to look after me. I got mad; because I specifically told Kenshin I wanted to go alone. So I went into an alleyway and met a pretty good looking woman standing there. I paid her 5,000 sen telling her to keep the rooster-head busy.

(Another interruption- Sano: What! You paid her to talk to me. Megumi: Well any women that talk to you would have to be paid. Sano: What did you say fox-lady. Kenshin: Megumi! Sano! How do you expect us to know what happened if you keep interrupting? Megumi & Sano: Sorry Kenshin. - end of interruption.)

Anyways, as soon as I saw Sano occupied I ran, I didn't care where, I just ran. After a couple of blocks of running I stopped to look at my surroundings. I was in the bad part of town, where all the whores and thieves lived. I started to turn around when someone grabbed my arm. I turned around to slap him, but he caught that arm, he then picked me up and started to carry me. I started punching and kicking him, which got him irritated. When we got into an abandoned alley he threw me against the wall. He was starting to advance on me, but as you know Aoshi trained me if I should come into this type of situation. I kicked him hard in his unmentioned area. Then I ran, down the alley into another. But at the end stood the sicko so I turned around, but I saw he brought friends. They started moving towards me, I knew I couldn't fight all of them so I screamed, that's when the first guy ran towards me with a knife.  Everything happened so fast after that. I had closed my eyes getting ready for the oncoming pain. But it didn't come, after about a minute I opened my eyes to see my attacker laying on the unconscious with the back of a girl in front of me.

"Are you okay?" The mystery girl asked me.

"I'm fine," I answered back. The other men were staring at their boss, then at the girl and I. They got mad and started attacking us.

"Are you prepared to fight?" She asked me.

"I'm ready for anything." I replied as I got into a fighting stance. I noticed her get into one herself, what surprised me was that she was holding a bokken.

(Interruption-Megumi: Yes she is a master of the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu. It is used with fighting with wooden swords. (Megumi starts crying.) She protected everyone that she met that needed protection. Kenshin: There there Miss Megumi she sounds like a wonderful person. Megumi: She is. Misao: Okay, can I get back to the story, before I start crying too. Sano, Megumi, & Kenshin: Yes please do Misao. - end of interruption)

The thugs started to attack. She took care of her attackers with ease, but I was beginni9ng to struggle. Then out of nowhere someone tripped me and I fell to the ground. She saw and she ran to my side, and started kicking some thug butt.

"I'll finish them off, you run," she yelled towards me. But it took that one moment of unawareness that cost her. One of the thugs took that moment and stabbed her badly in the leg. After seeing that she was useless, they moved towards me. She saw so she yelled. "Run you baka, RUN!"

"But I can't leave you." But she didn't take that.

"Run now; don't worry about me I can take care of myself! NOW GO!" I listened but as I ran one of the jerks pulled out a gun, he aimed it at me. The girl noticed and ran towards me; she shouldn't have done that for I think it made her leg wound worse.

"Watch out!" She shouted. She pushed me just as I heard a gunshot. I thought I was shot but as I looked myself over I knew I was safe. I realized that I was pushed, so I turned towards her and started yelling. "Hey what was the…" but before I finished yelling I saw her laying there with a gunshot wound in her chest. It was horrible. I put her head on top of my lap and cried. That's when she started to speak.

"Princess, I hope you are not hurt," she said in a weak voice.

"What you know I'm the princess, well that doesn't matter now. I'm so sorry it's my fault." I told her. She was about to talk again when I saw a shadow towering over me. It was the jerk that shot Miss Kaoru. Anger was burning in me. I was about to attack when he pulled out the gun again and aimed it at my head. "So you are the princess, shame you have to die." His hand was about to pull the trigger when a foot found his face. That is when Sano appeared. He started beating up the losers left and right. After they were all down, he turned towards me.

"Are you alright? You better be or Kenshin is going to kill me." He asked and demanded to hear that I was.

"I'm fine, but she," I indicated towards Miss Kaoru.

"All man. What happened?"

"Hurry up! Pick her up; we have got to get her back to the palace, so that the doctor can heal her. There is no time to explain so quit dawdling and pick her up already!"

"Ri-right!" Sano said confused but he picked her up, and we ran to the carriage as fast as we could. After that everyone knows what happened.

*~End of flashback~*

"Whoa that is not something that happens everyday," Megumi said.

"Well at least you are safe Misao," Kenshin said.

"That is not o.k. It's because of me that she almost died. It's all my fault!" Misao screamed through tears.

"It's not your fault princess." A mysterious voice said.

"Who said that?" They all questioned.

"Kaoru, you are awake!" Megumi yelled, seeing her sister awake, and started hugging her.

A/N: That's the end of this chapter. See what happens next time. Remember to read and review. Till the next time ciao.
