Chapter: 7

Mr. Mystery

A/N: Should I have not added characters, is it hard to understand. Im sorry if it is, My sincerest Apologies. Ok despite my review to myself im going to keep this piece of shit up weather you like it or not, well that's cuz I need to feel like I accomplished something in the time it took me to right this crap. Oh do I have to right a disclaimer for every chapter? * The tiny crowd nods * oh sorry. I do not own RK not that I have the money to, and I think the righter would be kinda mad. Ok whatever on with the crap … err nice story.

Arisa's eyes flipped from dark blue to blue to dark blue, she was so surprised she had to show Misao.

"Why are you here? Wait how did you get here, is it just me who is shocked beyond words?" Arisa asked. Everyone shook his or her heads no.

" Misao why are you here, was I fighting you?" he asked. Arisa had a questioning face on, but realized that Misao was the one who knew him well, not her even if she did kind of like him.

" Oh, Soujiro I am not Misao I am Arisa or Black Fox as you know me. Please tell me you were following us and you don't work for him." Arisa asked him hopefully. He could only nod.

" I heard that your assassins were going to go on a mission with out you even knowing, I wanted to know what was so important." Soujiro explained. Misao laughed then grabbed her stomach, it kind of hurt to have one of your best friends slice you open.

" Yes they are tricky, Hikio just wanted to make sure the business didn't go down the hole." Arisa said.

"Arisa called and wanted to blow off a little steam, apparently Misao has something or some one bugging her, so Arisa took care of it." Chuichi said. He seemed to either be anxious to talk or he was getting jealous of this new man in Arisa's life.

"Thank you Chuichi, Soujiro you really cut me good." Arisa said holding her stomach.

" Sorry but the wound on my arm isn't exactly a walk in the park." Soujiro said holding his arm. They glared at each other then burst out laughing. Yes they were weird. Juro pulled up to headquarters, and they all got out of the car, some had more difficulty from cuts. She walked into the building and smiled, she hadn't been here in a while, and it felt good to come back. She reminisced the old times she had here, good and bad. She all the sudden made her want to not go home, I mean Enishi was here so he wouldn't worry about me and if Aoshi came back I don't want to face him when I just stole roughly 1,283,087$ from some old guy.

"Enishi, I don't want to go home. I want to spend the night at Sanos or some ones I just don't want to go home." She said.

"Well Arisa I have to go back to your hose so Aoshi doesn't send the police out, but if this Sano person will let you stay with him, go ahead. You need some time by yourself I guess, even if you are with another person." Enishi said. Arisa looked around.

"Um Juro you want to drive Enishi back to my house, Enishi he is my most trusted driver, if I tell him to he will take you any where." Arisa said.

"If I have to I will" Juro said. He didn't seem to like Enishi, but then again no one really did.

"Juro I have a deal for you if you drive him home with no complaints to me or him and take him were ever his heart desires, well he has to be home in a hour at the very most, then I will let you take the rest of the night off and ill give you 50 extra dollars on your paycheck. What do you say?" Arisa said. Juro nodded and they both left. Suddenly all the assassins were gone, they all went back to work.

"Soujiro, I will drive you home if you want, but I have to call sano to see if I can stay with him. Is that ok" Arisa asked. Soujiro nodded. She whipped out her cell phone and dialed his number. She asked if she could stay with him but she couldn't, his little sister had tap lessons he had to drive her too then he had to watch her rehearsal.

"Great, soujiro is there any chance I could stay with you?" Arisa asked. Secretly she really wanted to, Arisa liked him, weather or not Misao did, and that doesn't matter.

"Yes Misao … I mean Arisa you can stay with me when ever you want" Soujiro said. Arisa nodded and walked outside to a red Volkswagen convertible. She unlocked it and hopped in. she revved the engine as he got in.

"I like it" he said.

"Yea my jaguar is in the garage." Arisa said. She began to drive; she didn't exactly know where she was going. He pointed in various directions till they came to a house, two-story house. She whistled as she looked up at its size.

'That is one big house, kind of like sanos.' She thought. He jumped out and unlocked the door. He walked in turned on the lights, and invited her in. She bounced in; ok enough she was tired time to let out Misao.

"Soujiro, um im going to leave now, bye." Arisa said. Soujiro looked confused. Misao came out; her eyes turned their normal blue. She sat down at the nearest chair that took a lot out of her.

"Oh my god, it is dark out! Oh yea that comment was Arisa and now its Misao, hi, do you have any coffee?" Misao asked.

"Hi Misao, Fumiki isn't going to pay me a surprise visit is she? Um yea I do hold on ill make some." Soujiro said.

"Oh I forgot about her, well since she drank Enishis blood she hasn't bothered me. Besides I think she's just attracted to you, all my counterparts seem to be.. I mean no I think its cuz she hates you and Arisa well she hates every one" Misao said. She was so dead.

'MISAO! IM GOING TO KILL YOU! Why did you tell him that, im sorry really I didn't mean to, it slipped out.' Misao thought. Misao closed her eyes; maybe soujiro will be able to calm the raging beast. I mean if she wont hurt me from the inside out when he's around ill have to stay by him all the time. Oh no now what was Fumiki going to do, and were is she any way? I know she's in there just why is she being so quiet. Soujiro came in with coffee and tea. He poured her some coffee and himself some tea. She drank it slowly trying her best to absorb more energy; she didn't want to fall asleep right away. All the sudden from looking at soujiro with tea, it made her miss Aoshi. She realized she had been so busy stealing, worrying over him, and wanting to kill him for not trusting her that she hadn't even thought much about him.

'I really miss him.' Misao thought with tears in her eyes. Soujiro looked up, puzzled.

"Misao are you alright?" Soujiro asked, his voice seemed to echo. It was very distant, either he was far away from her or she was lost in her mind again.

"Soujiro, I am truly sorry, I was just thinking about, well I was thinking. I am fine." Misao said whipping her teary eyes.

"So what are two teenagers alone in a mansion of a house going to do?" Misao asked light-heartedly. Soujiro looked at her like she was from another world.

'How does she do that? She is sad and crying one minute but the next she is about to bounce off the walls.' Soujiro thought.

"Well, we could go out on the town again, I mean you just stole over a million dollars so there's nothing we cant do, or we can stay here and, talk or do something less public." Soujiro said.

"I think the last one is a better idea, I mean two teens with over a million bucks is a little weird, what do you do here?" Misao asked.

"Well I play video games on my big screen TV, and anything I can think of." Soujiro said.

"I know lets invite some friends over and turn up the music, turn down the lights, and have a little party!" Misao said. Soujiro looked hesitantly at the phone but agreed. They both walked over to phones, he has two phone lines. And called their best friends. People started arriving the second they put the phones down. Soon his living room was full of people. They turned up the music and people began to dance. They turned on the best song in the world: I hate everything about you (I don't know the artist). Misao jumped around dancing and screaming

"IIIII hate eeeevrything aabout youuuuuuu, whyyy do I loooove youuuuuu?"  She noticed that she lost soujiro. He must be off somewhere dancing with some girl.

'Soujiro doesn't realize it but if he just toned down the politeness a little he could be a player. No I guess he's too nice' Misao thought. She was thinking way too much, time to let go and dance with the music. The one thing that her parents thought she did right as a child. Now to make them wish that they didn't force me to do everything over again cuz it wasn't perfect, they will wish I never accidentally killed hem because they have such a perfect daughter back on earth they'll want to come back. But they cant, because they had to push me. She started dancing like there was no tomorrow. You know in clubs sometimes there's just one person who is a great dancer, so great people stop dancing so they can watch this person dance, well that is how Misao is dancing. She swerved back and fourth with grace. She spun a little, but this dance wasn't one for little too-toos and frilly pink dresses. This dance was a mad dance, she moved to the head-banging beat, and didn't open her eyes once. She was almost in a daze, it was as if this wasn't her life, it was like she was watching some one else from the sidelines. She whipped around dancing wildly around the dance floor. The song ended and she did a back flip in the air and landed in a split. That didn't really go with the song but that was her signature move at the dance-offs her parents made her go to. The crowd cheered and clapped their hearts out. They loved it and wanted more, but once a slow song came on she couldn't do it, it was hard enough dancing the way she had but she could do her ballerina moves that might kill her. Soujiro walked up to her and gave her a personal applause. He was astonished.

"Misao I didn't know you could, well dance!" he had to scream over the loud music and many voices.

"Soujiro, its nothing really, drop it" Misao said sadly.

"Misao what's wrong, follow me" Soujiro led her into the kitchen; it was quiet in there. He looked at her with an expecting face, kind of like; spill it I don't want to have to pry it out of you.

"Soujiro, its just, I cant handle slow songs that's all, and I picked up dancing like that on the street so can I go now, my friends are expecting me." Misao said, she was obviously lying. Soujiro could tell. Misao walked out of the room looking back only once.

" Misao you do know that you are spending the night here, so ill find out weather it takes me all night." Soujiro called after her, she pretended not to hear but she did. She walked to an empty chair and tried very hard to block out the music. Some one dressed in a black leather trench coat walked up to her and sat down next to her. She didn't look up to his face, and even if she had he would have only seen black, he was covering his face. She closed her eyes and remembered a time when her parents loved her, when they didn't expect her to be perfect. They accepted her, and loved her, but once they saw how good at dancing she could be all the sudden it was 'Misao if you tried as hard in school as you do in dance you could pull off strait A's' and 'Misao since you can dance that filthy street dance you can dance tap, jazz, ballet, hip hop, ball room, waltz, and maybe you can dance while ice skating, oh the possibilities'. Her parents pushed her so far, that were Arisa came in, ok no Misao get a hold of yourself you don't need to remember this, none of it happened to you, its someone else's sad story. She began to tear up again. She stopped herself. She opened her eyes and really looked at this party, it wasn't what she wanted to do, she wanted to steal, no she wanted blood, NO she didn't want that she wanted for once to face her problems head on, and she was going to. She ran up to be Soujiros room was, or at least were she thought it was. She didn't realize that two men followed her. But now she didn't care if it were to men or if it were three purple elephants, she needed to stop this crying, she doesn't cry. She walked into his room and sat down on the floor. She tried to think, but two people were talking, no whispering out side the door. She looked into the hallway to find soujiro was one of the men who were following her, go figure, but the other looked familiar but his face was covered. Soujiro was saying something like 'who are you, did I invite you, why are you following Misao?' but she didn't care, she walked back into the room and tried to tune them out. She sat on the floor, or what she thought was the floor, but she was in such a daze she ended up sitting on the windowsill. Then she felt an ice clod hand over her mouth. Her eyes shot open and she tried to look behind her but couldn't. She only could hear his voice.

"Black Fox we understand that you have just stolen over 1 million dollars in the past few hours, and you are coming with me to repent for your wrong doing." The cold voice said, She was flung out the window and caught by a man standing on the ground below.  She was being kidnapped. Well she wasn't going to take this laying down, she would put up a fight, and she's not going to die with her tail between her legs. She kicked and screamed.

"Aoshi, wherever you are, come and save me, if you're so worried about my health then come save me! Soujiro, help!" she screamed. She kicked the man in the, umm * cough, cough * you know. And he let her go; she ran the other way strait toward the wall of the house. The men thought she was crazy but were ordered to follow her. So they did, stupid as they were, once she got to the way she was going to fast she was able to run on the wall. She turned left on the wall and jumped off with enough time to see 3 of the 5 guys crash into the wall. She would have laughed if she didn't have to run from the remaining 2 guys. She threw a kunai at one, square in the temple, dead within seconds. One more oks what should I do with him? He ran towards her and once he got with in 5 feet of her she sidestepped to the left and watched him stumble. He did it again and she stepped away again. He tried it one more time and when she stepped over she stuck out her arm, his neck caught her arm and he fell backwards gasping for breath. She stepped on him while she went to return to the party when the tree guys who hit the wall came after her. They snuck up behind her and grabbed her; she gave him a look of boredom.

"This is getting old," she said as she tried to kick him in the shin but he seemed to have armor or something on. Lovely. The only thing she could do was hope Soujiro heard her call of help. But at the last second before she was shoved into the car she saw him stick his head out of his window, he knew and he was going to help. She was blindfolded so she couldn't see were they were taking her. She sat there for around half an hour, she guessed they were just driving in circles so she couldn't tell some one how for away it was. She was yanked out of the car and guided into the building. They shoved her into a dark room, or maybe it was the blind-fold she couldn't tell. She sensed some one was in the room with her. The person coughed, Misao got into a fighting stance with her kunai in hand.

"Misao is that you?" Kaoru said.

"Kaoru? Why are you here?" Misao asked while taking off her blindfold, she seemed to have a sense of security with the blindfold. Like if she kept it on she wouldn't have to see the horrible things she knew she was going to see tonight. Kaoru was chained up, but her face looked exuberant and happy as ever. She really wanted to see Misao I guess. Misao leaned up against the wall.

"No! Don't because. To late" kaoru said. Misao looked puzzled, then the wall started to move and handcuffs appeared on her wrists and ankles.

"Kaoru what happened" Misao asked.

"Well I leaned against the wall and mine appeared so I figure if you lean against the wall cuffs appear. I tried to warn you" Kaoru said. Misao looked at her funny, this didn't seem like kaoru, the kaoru she knew would be kicking and screaming till she croaked.
            "Kaoru, are you alright, how long have you been here?" Misao asked.

"Well I am sort of ok, see I was kicking and screaming until they chained me up, then I kept screaming and they threatened to kill me, I have been here for about 5 hours I guess, they were looking for you and thought I was you, they couldn't let me go, I knew too much" Kaoru explained. Misao looked at her pity. A guard was brought to their room and he grabbed both of their arms and walked them into another room. He laid them down on an ice-cold metal table. They looked at each other worried sick. What was going to happen? The same guard grabbed a lever and pulled it, a gigantic pendulum started to drop. It slowly got closer and closer.  As it swung back and fourth the girls watched it, not knowing what to do. Misao cant pick handcuffs, that's the imperfect thing about her assassin skills, she couldn't pick locks. It swung back and fourth, it got closer and closer. It got so close that they could fell the breeze it was emitting from its force. It looked sharp enough to cut through metal; it would have no trouble with bone. They felt goose bumps forming on there bare arms.

"So girls, if you give the money back and promise to work for me for the rest of your lives, ill spare your lives, it not ill let the pendulum slice through you, and my dogs will feast tonight. What do you say?" a cold voice said. The girls looked at each other defiantly and looked in the direction of the voice.

"We aren't going down with out a fight, we'll never work for you!" Misao said.

" And I know that Kenshin and Aoshi will come for us!" Kaoru added. And with one swing of the pendulum the room went silent, except for the splatter of blood hit the ground.
