Chapter 1: Sleep
~*~
A scream echoed through the night but no one seemed to hear. Everyone was fast asleep, well, almost everyone. A person lurked in the shadows of the Kamiya Kasshin dojo, where almost everyone slept. Those who slept included Sanosuke, Yahiko, and Kenshin for the time being.
The shadow crept right up beside Kenshin, still unseen and unheard. The shadowy figured gently grabbed Kenshin's Sakabatou (reverse blade sword) and slinked silently along the wall and out of room.
The moon shown brightly outside of the dojo. The figure emerged from the room and walked out into the moonlit night. The moon cast it's light on the shadowy figure only to show Sohjiro, a young boy working for Shishio himself- Kenshin's enemy.
He crept out of the Kamiya dojo and picked up his prisoner, who was out cold. The prisoner was none other than Kaoru. Sohjiro shuffled noiselessly down the path; he needed to get back to Shishio as quickly as possible.
~*~
Morning came and Kenshin woke up, panicking. "OH NO!! WHERE'D IT GO?? I SWEAR IT WAS RIGHT HERE LAST NIGHT!!" He ran out of the room to find Kaoru thinking that she may know where it went.
Fifteen minutes passed and he searched the whole dojo for Kaoru and his sword. They were nowhere to be found. Kenshin was beginning to worry.
"Sano? Have you seen Miss Kaoru this morning?" he asked when he bumped into Sanosuke. Sanosuke shook his head. "Why? What's wrong?" he asked. "My sword AND Miss Kaoru are missing. I can't find them anywhere!" Kenshin said frantically. "I'll look for her in town for her." Sanosuke declared and ran back the way he came.
Kenshin still searched the dojo and about fifteen minutes later he found a hidden note addressed to Kenshin himself- well, the note said Battousai but it was still to him. Kenshin hurriedly opened the note. It read:
'Battousai,
Come get her. . . we have her and your sword. . . come get them. . . alone. . . you know where. . .
Shishio'
Kenshin fumed in hate. 'What did she ever do to them? I knew this would happen! Why her? Why did it have to be her?!' Kenshin sighed angrily, crushed the paper into a ball, dropped it, and walked out of the room. He found Yahiko and told him he would be gone for a while and to watch over the dojo. With that, he walked out of the Kamiya dojo and went to find where Shishio was.
~*~
Sanosuke came back about a half an hour later with no trace found of Kaoru anywhere. Yahiko told Sanosuke that Kenshin had left for somewhere. Sanosuke cursed under his breath. "Why didn't you stop him??" he asked in an annoyed tone. "You were supposed to! Do you even know why he left?" Yahiko nodded confidently. "Yeah, he went to do some errands." Sanosuke sighed. "And you believed him?" he asked dully. Yahiko nodded, a puzzled look on his face. Sanosuke sighed, frustrated. He turned around and stormed out of the dojo, calling to Yahiko that he would be back soon.
~*~
Kenshin walked down the path with a determined pace in his step. He was beginning to become hungry but ignored it for Kaoru's sake. He was afraid of what Shishio may do to her or has already done. She could be hurt and none of this was her fault; it was all because of him- the Hitokiri Battousai- Shishio's real enemy.
~*~
Sanosuke ran down the path at maximum speed. He'd already been running for an hour and there was no sign or Kenshin. Sanosuke was breathing heavily and was losing speed in his long strides, he had already ran all over town looking for Kaoru and now all this was making him tired and sore. His legs were beginning to lead and it was getting harder and harder for him to move on. He felt his eyelids droop tiredly even though it was only three hours passed noon.
Sanosuke finally stopped and collapsed against a tree trunk to rest. He didn't realize it but his eyes drooped closed and he eventually drifted off into an unnoticed deep slumber.
~*~
Yahiko was beginning to worry about Kaoru, Kenshin, and Sanosuke but he didn't leave just in case they came back while he was gone. He paced silently around the room. Dr. Genzai, Ayame, Suzume, and Megumi were all there. They had stopped by earlier to see Kenshin and the others but found they weren't here so they decided to stay and wait for their arrival. The four guests watched Yahiko pace with puzzled looks on their faces. Yahiko ignored all comments and glances directed to him, he just kept pacing back and forth. He paused every once and a while to look out the window for any sign of them but there was none.
He stopped again to look out the window; it was becoming nightfall fast and Sanosuke, Kenshin, or Kaoru had shown up yet. Yahiko sighed and aced once again. Ayame and Suzume giggled. They thought he was acting like a father to them and found it strange seeing that Yahiko is younger than all of them.
~*~
Kenshin was becoming extremely hungry but still ignored it. "There is no time to waste," he chanted mentally every time he almost considered stopping for food and water.
Kenshin saw a town come into view from the horizon. He knew it would be best to stop for the night even though he REALLY didn't want to. He knew that if he went on without stopping to eat, drink, and sleep he would end up collapsing somewhere in the forest during the night. Kenshin sighed and walked up to a young woman walking along the path. "Miss! Miss?" he called and ran to catch up to her when she stopped and looked back. Kenshin caught up to the woman, took a deep breath, and spoke, "Hello, would there happen to be anywhere to stay around here?" The woman smiled and scanned Kenshin up and down. She nodded. "Yes, I have an extra room if you would like to stay there, uh. . . um. . . I never got your name." She said.
