Chapter Five: Anger Rising
Later they all sat at dinner including Sano who had stayed to filch more food off Kaoru since she was too happy to notice. Kaoru was currently clinging onto Kenshin's arm as he ate. Sano felt kind of jealous of them. They were so happy together. It would be nice to have some girl clinging onto his arm.
Just then Megumi came into the room. Kaoru and Kenshin rose to greet her.
"What brings you here, Miss Megumi?" Kenshin said politely.
She paused when she saw that Kaoru was clinging to Kenshin's arm.
"Sir Ken, I just came by to visit. I did not know that roosterhead would be here."
Sano grunted and shoved more food in his mouth.
"Miss Megumi why don't you join us?" Kenshin said sitting back down.
Megumi sat down on the other side of Kenshin. Kaoru then turned to her.
"Oh Megumi, there's something Kenshin and I have to tell you. We are getting married!"
Megumi raised an eyebrow. "Is that so?"
Kenshin nodded then turned to look at Kaoru. He could ever stop looking at her, she was so beautiful.
Sano studied Megumi's face, trying to read her emotions. He knew that she often flirted with Kenshin, but he did not know if her feelings were deeper than that.
Kenshin could not help, but feel like the happiest man alive. He brushed his fingertips across Kaoru's leg and smiled down at her. He longed to kiss her right now, but he withheld while there were others around.
It was getting late by the time they had finished supper, but Kaoru still wanted to go see Tae and tell her the good news. She waved goodbye to Kenshin as she left. She was all along walking because Megumi had left earlier. Kenshin had wanted to come with her, but Kaoru had wanted to alone for once. She wanted to tell Tae for herself and also ask about some other important things.
She hummed to herself as she walked down a deserted alley. It was a short cut, but a lonely one. Then all the sudden she felt hands grab a hold of her. She screamed and tried to kick her attacker, but he was too strong. He had quickly tied her hands and feet together and gagged her mouth.
Kaoru squirmed trying to get out of his grasp, but he just laughed and put a knife to her throat. "Hold still now, pretty. I don't want to hurt you."
The man removed the knife and dragged Kaoru into a nearby building by her hair. Kaoru tried to scream again, but it was muffled by the gag.
Kenshin was only a street away when he heard Kaoru scream. He had been following behind her at a distance because he was worried about her safety. He ran to where he had heard the scream as fast as he could, his sword drawn. He searched the empty street, but he could not find her.
Kaoru trembled as the man glared down at her. She was totally helpless, she couldn't move an inch.
"You are the battousai's woman, are you not? I have a message for him." The man said bringing the knife to her neck again. He grinned down at her then he began to rip at her kimono front. Kaoru tried to stop him, but she was powerless. He ran his hand down her neck and started to kiss her. The knife in his hand slid lightly down her chest, leaving a small trail of blood.
Kaoru felt sick. She felt like she was being defiled. This felt nothing like Kenshin's sweet touch or soft kiss. This felt disgusting. She prayed that Kenshin would come and save her, but she knew that he was too far away to know what was happening. The man was about to rip off the rest of her kimono, but he was distracted by a loud crashing noise.
Kenshin heard a whimper come from inside a nearby building and he instantly burst into the room. It took him only seconds to register the situation. Kaoru's kimono was ripped down the front and a man with a knife was touching her. Kenshin felt rage boil within her. That man was molesting Kaoru, his Kaoru.
The man turned to Kenshin and smirked. Kenshin for the first time in a long long time wanted to kill. He was so angry that he was shaking.
