Hi all! This little ficcie is the product of two minds! Rurouni Angel and Chiruken have teamed up to bring you an original Alternate Pairing Rurouni Kenshin Fanfiction!
"Charmed" is going to be wild, a little crazy and maybe even a little scary at times…especially considering whom the Altered Pair will be!
Now, I feel compelled to add in a few warnings before we get into the fic itself:
1.Alternate Pairing!!! There….that's said.
2.This fic is rated for a decidedly citrus flavor. That means this fic is probably going to turn into a lemon sometime soon.
3.If you have a problem with sexually explicit scenes, dialogue or themes, then this fic is definitely not for you. If you have a problem with Alternate Pairings, then this fic is definitely not for you.
Well, now that that's been said…On with the fic!!!
(Oh…and don't forget to have fun! That's the main goal of this collaboration of Angel and Chiruken.)

Charmed Part 31

Kenshin turned back to Sanosuke and opened his mouth to reply when he closed it abruptly and turned back towards the forest behind the doujou with a scowl. Something didn't feel…right. "Hold that thought, Sano…" Stepping around his friend quickly he headed away from the doujou. "I'll be right back, that I will."
"Oi! Kenshin! What about Megumi?" Sanosuke stared at his retreating back in disbelief, watching as he disappeared from view. "Che…"
Allowing his instincts to lead him, Kenshin followed one path after another, all leading deeper into the wooded area. Eyes on the ground he spotted footprints that were recent. Head snapping up he concentrated on the direction he thought the sudden burst of ki had originated from. Who could it be? Silently making his way through the dense underbrush he stopped and stared in shock. Kaoru? His eyes moved from her familiar form to another. Yahiko… Stepping forward and taking care to brush against the branches to make noise he entered the small clearing and cleared his throat to gain their attention. "Kaoru-dono, Yahiko…" Pasting a smile on his face he approached the two looking at him guiltily. "It's getting late, that it is. The forest isn't safe at night, that it is not."
Kaoru laughed nervously. "That's all right, Kenshin. Yahiko is here to protect me. Isn't that right, Yahiko?"
"Eh?" Looking at her blankly for a moment the boy blinked several times before answering. "Er…yeah. You don't gotta worry, Kenshin. I'll take care of busu."
Raising an eyebrow at the odd exchange the rurouni couldn't shake the odd feeling that they were trying to hide something from him. "Well…if you say so." Casting a dubious look at Kaoru he shrugged. "In any case we should be returning, that we should." Yahiko stared at the ground, obviously uncomfortable. "Yahiko?" Tilting his head to the side Kenshin watched the boy closely.
"I don't feel like goin' back yet." The words emerged on a low mumble.
Sighing softly, the rurouni placed a gentle hand on the boy's shoulder. "Sanosuke is very sorry, Yahiko, that he is. He didn't mean…"
Shrugging off the older man's hand Yahiko stepped away from him towards Kaoru. "Yeah, I know…he didn't mean it. I get it."
"Kenshin, Yahiko told me what happened." Kaoru stepped forward drawing his attention. "What happened? Why did Sanosuke…"
"He is worried, Kaoru-dono, that he is. Megumi-dono has been abducted, that she has." Turning his gaze briefly back to the boy he sighed again. "Yahiko inadvertently aided them as well."
"Eh? What?" Scowling, the boy stepped forward. "I'd never help the bad guys, Kenshin! Why would I help someone hurt Megumi?"
"I know you wouldn't Yahiko. It was an accident, that it was."
"But who would do such a thing?"
"Takeda." The name emerged on a soft growl. "He has to be the one, right Kenshin?"
"Aa…I believe you are correct, Yahiko, that I do."
"Then what are we waiting for? We have to help her, right Kenshin?"
Nodding slowly the rurouni wore a thoughtful frown. "Have you seen anyone else around here recently?"
"No, why?" Kaoru looked at him curiously. Her usually cheerful rurouni was wearing a much too serious expression for her liking.
"Hmm…" Eyes moving from Yahiko to Kaoru and back again Kenshin finally shrugged. "It is nothing. I thought I detected a powerful fighting ki earlier, that I did." Noting the quick looks exchanged between the two his eyes narrowed suspiciously. They know something…
"A-ano…" Kaoru swallowed with difficulty. He knows! He knows we're not telling the truth! "W-we haven't seen anyone…right Yahiko?"
"N-no…no one." He was beginning to feel more than a little nervous as well. He'd never seen Kenshin with such a calculating look on his face before. It was almost frightening to see the usually open and friendly rurouni with such an expression.
