Author's note: I don't own Kenshin. Please Read and Review. (

" Rei, Rei, its time for bed," yelled Tenka from downstairs. Instead of Rei, he got Kaoru instead. " Ummm Mr. Tenka Rei and I were wondering if she could stay in my room tonight?" Kaoru asked her eyes were pleading with his. He smiled. " Sure, by the way just call me Tenka Miss. Kaoru," he said.

" Thank you, by the way just call me Kaoru," she said going up stairs. " Hey is anyone home or not!" yelled Saitou from the dojo gate. Yahiko came outside. " What do YOU want?" he asked rudely. " I need to talk to the Battousai," Saitou answered calmly.

Then the dojo gate opened allowing Saitou to come in. " Kenshin, Saitou is here to talk to you!" yelled Yahiko running towards the dojo. " What does that jerk want?" Sano asked. " How should I know he wants," Yahiko whispered to Sano. Kenshin came out and sat down by Sano.

" I have some interesting news for you about your raccoon girl," Saitou said. " What do you know miss. Kaoru?" Kenshin asked standing up quickly. " We know who has her," Saitou said smirking. " Do you know where she is?" asked Yahiko trying to keep his cool. " No we don't, that jerk is taunting us he sent a telegraph to us," said Saitou getting a cigarette from his pocket. " Is Missy alright?" Sano asked trying to copy Yahiko. " The message said she was fine," Saitou said lighting his cigarette. " Who has her?" Kenshin asked in Battousai's voice. " Some guy named Tenka," Saitou said getting up and leaving. " This is too perfect, once I get the Battousai out here I'll kill him and everyone dear to him," Tenka laughed to himself.

" But I don't think I'll kill the girl, Rei really seems to like her," he thought. He got up and walked back over to the telegraph and sent another message to the Tokyo police department. " Kaoru do you like my daddy?" Rei asked in her most innocent voice. Kaoru blushed. ' Ummm Rei did you brush you teeth?" Kaoru asked trying to change the conversation.

" No I didn't!" she yelled running out of Kaoru's room. Kaoru was thankful when Rei came back in she went to sleep. " Am I starting to feel something for him?" she asked herself. She imagined a pair of big violet eyes and fell asleep. Kenshin couldn't sleep though.

He was beyond worried about Kaoru. " If that man hurts her I'll, no he probably want me to do this," he told himself trying to calm down. Kenshin walked out of the dojo to the patio. Then he heard a sniffling sound. He turned around to see Yahiko.

" Kenshin," he said walking out of the dojo. " Yes, what do you need?" Kenshin asked smiling. Yahiko saw the smile and put his head down. " Don't smile at me, I don't deserve it," he said in his mind. " Yahiko," Kenshin said looking at the boy with great concern. " I'm sorry Kenshin, I couldn't help Kaoru when she needed me," he said keeping his head down. Kenshin walked over to him and said, " Why should you be sorry, it's not.." " Yes it IS, I was too weak to help her!" he yelled. Kenshin bent down to Yahiko's level. " It's ok, we'll get her back, besides Kaoru is a fighter I wouldn't be surprised if she came back to us," Kenshin said smiling.

Then something dropped from Yahiko's face. " He's crying," Kenshin told himself. Yahiko ran into Kenshin's arm and started crying into his shoulder. " It's my fault, I'm sorry," Yahiko sobbed. Kenshin wrapped his arms around Yahiko and started to comfort him.

" It's ok, it's not you fault, we should blame the person who took her," Kenshin said. " But I could have helped," Yahiko insisted. " I don't think Miss. Kaoru would have liked it to see her student die," Kenshin said," don't worry we'll get her back." " Really?" Yahiko mumbled into Kenshin's shoulder. " Really, you just have to be strong for her, ok," Kenshin said still trying to comfort the young samurai.

Yahiko just nodded his head and fell asleep in Kenshin's arms. Kenshin just stood like that making sure the boy was in a deep enough sleep so when he moved him he wouldn't wake up. After Yahiko was in bed, Kenshin went into the kitchen to clear the table. Then Sano walked in. " Hey Sano," Kenshin said looking up and smiling.

" Yahiko's really upset huh?" Sano asked keeping his voice low as to not wake him. " Yeah he's really worried," Kenshin said. Sano bowed his head," Hey Kenshin listen." " Listen before you start it's not your fault, I blame whoever took her, not you guys," Kenshin said keeping his smile. Sano was stunned.

Then a smile broke onto his face. " You're a goddamn mind reader Kenshin," Sano said walking away. " You can stay here if you want Sano," Kenshin said finishing his job. " Thanks," Sano said turning around and walking to the room he usually stayed in when Kaoru let him. Soon morning came. Kenshin didn't get much sleep. " HEY, WAKE UP," yelled Saitou from the dojo gate.

Author's note: hey I didn't mean to make Yahiko look like a crybaby. I just thought it would make the story better.
