Using the strength she still had to spare Kaoru threw the small child into the rowboat. She swung her sword at the tough rope as the boat went tumbling into the water.

"There is some food in there! It will last three weeks! When you get to land find a doctor by the name of Genzai (Right or Wrong?) and tell him I have been captured by pirates!"

Kenshin stared in disbelief as he watched the girl only put the boy in the boat. He had never seen a woman do something that did not consern herself.

The boy was past the pirate boats before Kenshin snapped back to reality. "Now you have no where to go wench..." Kaoru faced them with tiredness written on her face.

"Sanosuke.......what have you done......" Kaoru's head spinned and only one thing crossed her mind. [She was in the hands of the pirates...]

Sano stood shocked in place as him and the crew looked at her collapsed body. "Sano." Kenshin spoke to Sanosuke as he put the girl over his shoulder. "You have a lot of explaining to do. And we have a long time before we reach Pirate Planet."

Sano sighed as the boat lifted towards the sky. This would be a long journey...

*Kaoru's Dream*

The young girl smiled happily as her older brother tried to catch her in his arms. "This way mano!" Laughter could be heard through out the boat.

"Kaoru! Sanosuke! Get in here right now and don't say a word!" Both children looked at their father in puzzelment but ran towards the hole that their father had pointed to.

Gruesome voices where heard from the outside of the boat. "All we want is the goddess. Nothing more, nothing less."

Kaoru glanced to her side to see another young child cuddled up agains't the side of the wall. Tears went out of her eyes as Kaoru hugged her. "Its okay..Daddy will tell them off."

But before anymore comfort could be given a tall man with white hair picked all three children up. "Well, well...what have we got here."

The children began to struggle agains't there capture only to be thrown agains't the wall. "Enishi! Do what you please with them but I want the boy. He seems strong enough to join my crew."

The man so called Enishi picked up the little Sanosuke and threw him at the black haired man. Sanosuke off course began to struggle as he watched Enishi approach his younger sister.

"Kaoru! Kaoru get away!" He was silenced by a sword hitting the back of his neck causing him to sleep.

The child that had been with Kaoru was thrown in front of Enishi. Her eyes widening in horror as she watched him pull a blade over his head. "Night. Night."

Kaoru ran towards the girl pushing her to the side. The blow was taken to her side and Kaoru began to lose blood quickly. "Since you have decided to take her place she will take yours."

He turned his head away from Kaoru and picked up the frightened child. Kaoru sat there crying as she slowly watched the boats sail away. "Sanosuke.......SANOSUKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

*Reality*

Flaming red eyes opened up to face men's faces. All where staring in shock. Kenshin ran to where his crew was screaming and saw Kaoru floating in the air whispering one word. "Death...death...death..."

"Whats all the commotion about sounds like someone is dying!" "There about to if we don't do something." Sano looked down and gasped as he saw her.

"Oh no! It's happening again!" He ran towards the girl and dragged her towards the ground. "Kaoru wake up! It is just a dream! Wake up!"

It took a couple minutes before blue eyes full of tears appeared. "He will pay for what he did that day." Sano gave her a questioning look and asked what was on everyone's mind. "Who will pay?"

The word that came out of her mouth made Kenshin's ki fly up in lighting's of anger.

"Enishi................"
