Taken Away Chapter 2!!
Disclaimer: I...Do.Not.Own.RK.*sob sob* plz read and review!
After some great debating Shinta was finally asleep. "Hey, Kenshin could you take the squirt tomorrow? I'm so tired from today I could sleep for a week! Besides he listens to you." Sano pleaded. "Alright Sano, I'd be happy to take Shinta, that I would." "Thanks Kenshin, good night." Sanosuke dragged his feet to his room, his body heavy with sleep.
"I should be going to bed too," Kenshin thought, "even though little Shinta listens to me, as Sano says, he still is a handful." Kenshin turned to Kaoru. She had fallen asleep with her head resting on the table and Kenshin gently nudged her. "Wake up, Miss Kaoru, we should both be going to bed, that we should."
Kenshin woke up to find Shinta springing up into the air in front of him. "Daddy, Sano-kun said you were gonna take me with you to town! Right! Right!" "Hai, Hai, I did Shinta. Now calm down, let's go have breakfast first." Kenshin pushed himself up off the futon and took little Shinta's hand. Kaoru wasn't awake yet for it was still quite early in the morning. It was better that she was asleep though, because even though he really didn't like to admit it her cooking was quite horrible. He made a quick breakfast for himself and Shinta. The others wouldn't be up for awhile and the food would have been cold by the time they were awake.
Kenshin did a few chores and had Shinta help him, doing little tasks such as handing Kenshin the clothespins when hanging the laundry or adding more soap when washing the clothes. He wanted Shinta to do as little as possible so that he wouldn't be tired out by the time they went to town. He was only seven, and could tire easily.
By the time all the chores were done it was late morning almost the afternoon. Finally the two set out down the road, Shinta skipping merrily by Kenshin's side. The little seven year old was rather interested in all the shops, inns and restaurants, having spent most his time at the dojo with Sano and Yahiko. The only time he came to town was as a special treat or when everyone went to the Ackabecko for a beef pot. Crossing over the bridge to the tofu shop, Shinta looked down into the water. "Wow, it's so clear daddy, I can see the fish!" "Yes, that it is, but be careful Shinta, I don't want you to fall in." Kenshin said warmly and tugged on Shinta's little hand to draw him away from the edge and towards the shop. It had gotten busier since the afternoon, and there were more people bustling along the streets. Kenshin pulled Shinta closer towards him, so as not to get caught in the crowd. Then the street became even thicker with people. Everyone kept pushing and shoving and bumping into others. Kenshin could sense that Shinta was getting nervous. Picking him up off the ground, he put Shinta on top of his shoulders. "Shinta, can you see the store we're going to?" "I don't know, daddy what does the store sign say." "I believe it says Akamatsu." "Yeah, Yeah I see it! It's right up ahead!" "Arigato, Shinta." Kenshin continued to walk with Shinta on his shoulders until he reached the shop. He then gently placed him on the ground and took his hand once again. While his father talked to the store clerk, Shinta looked around. As the bustling people spread out, he was able to catch glimpses of the shop across the street. It was a small tavern with a bar. It was plenty full, and the waitresses were very busy. Then he spotted them. In the corner were three men. They looked pretty ordinary, but Shinta swore that they were staring at him, and it was making him more nervous than the crowded street had. He tried to shrug off the feeling and looked up at Kenshin. His father didn't seem to sense anything, which was comforting, but he still had a nagging feeling. Kenshin thanked the clerk for the tofu and headed back into the street with Shinta close to his side. Then Kenshin suddenly stopped and looked up. The clouds passed over the sun, and a rain dropped fell onto his face. "Hmm.maybe I was just sensing the rain," he thought to himself. Soon it started to pour and the two quickened their step. The water rushed under the bridge. Kenshin tried to keep his grasp on the basket carrying the tofu. "Be extremely careful Shinta. The bridge is very slippery, and I do not want you to fall, that I don't." The basket loosened from his hand. "Oro. Oh no, Kaoru will kill me if I don't bring back our dinner." Kenshin walked over to where the basket had fallen, letting go of Shinta's hand. Shinta walked over to the railing and looked down into the swirling water. Then he sensed someone behind him, but he wasn't quick enough. Shinta felt his feet slip from underneath him. Kenshin spun around. Shinta was clinging on to the bridge for dear life. "Shinta!" He reached down, but then was pulled back by unseen hands. Three men had a tight hold on Kenshin. One of them had his arm around his neck, the other two were gripping his arms. "No, NO, Let go of me!" One of the men let go and walked over to where Shinta clung. He placed his boot over Shinta's little hand. "Say good bye to your son Battosai," he cackled. The last thing Kenshin heard was a yelp of pain from his son's mouth, and a loud splash of water, before plunging into darkness.
So how was that! I tried to make it longer this time. Tell me if I spell anything wrong and I'll fix it. TO SEE THE NEXT CHAPTER I MUST GET 2 REVIEWS. Bwa hahahaha!
