Note: Sorry it's taking so long folks! I'm having a brain fart because I have no idea what should happen next! But the rest of this story should be coming soon because I have a great idea and I want to finish this story quickly so I can work on my other one: Illousa's Dragon. Also I have no idea how to spell some of these things so sorry! I also forget some dudes names so....on to chapter 5!
Chapter 5: Searching for the Lost
"Okay, it's been two weeks. Can't we just say Kaoru's dead?" asked Yahiko as he fell onto his bed of leaves and pinecones after a hard day of searching. They had been searching for two weeks with no sign of Kaoru anywhere. Yahiko and Sano were sure she was dead by now and Megumi didn't know what to think. But Kenshin wasn't about to give up. It was all his fault that Kaoru was kidnapped. If he had never ventured into Tokyo he would never have met Kaoru and this would never have happened. Then again, she would probably have been killed by Gohei that was running around Tokyo saying he was the manslayer and was trained at the Kamiya dojo and Megumi would probably have sacrificed herself when the Obewabon group was forcing her to make poison.
"So," Kenshin thought, "I saved Kaoru and Megumi's life even though I have brought such danger to us all." He smiled, then lied down on his own bed of leaves and pinecones and tried to fall asleep through Sano's loud snoring and the occasional slap from Megumi as she tried to shut him up.

Meanwhile......
"Dr. Satrin, have you gotten the girl?"
"Oh yes Master. You're servant did very good. I do think you should get a smarter one next time though."
"If all goes according to plan, there won't be a next time. I'll be the best swordsman, assassin, and the smartest man in the world, what more could I want? But I'm getting worried. It's already been two weeks and the Battousai has not shown up. Are you sure he will come at all?"
"Oh yes sir. He'll come. I've been giving the girl books so she is not bored. All she does is sit on that window seat. She doesn't believe he's coming now."
"How do you know that?"
"She said so. She said, 'He isn't coming is he?' and I replied, 'Patience my dear, patience.'
"Very good. Now, give her a letter from the Battousai saying he's on his way and not to worry. I don't want her to lose hope."
"Yes master."

Back to Kenshin's group......
"Alright, next stop, the sea shore!" cried Yahiko the next morning as they set off through the mountains.
"They say that three people just moved into the castle and they have hundreds of servants and about 50 guards standing around. They say that there is a princess who lives there who fits Kaoru's description," said Megumi as she read an article in a newspaper about it.
"That can't be Kaoru! She isn't pretty enough to be a princess!" cried Yahiko after Megumi finished.
'Interesting.....' thought Kenshin to himself.
"I wouldn't say that. I could tell missy and kid, you don't even want to think about it," said Sano from the front, "Hey Kenshin, is that where we're heading?"
"Yes, that it is."
"Then lets get going!" cried Yahiko as he ran in front of Sano.
"Don't get lost!" Megumi cried after him.
"What are you saying?" asked Sano as he turned towards her, "If Yahiko got lost, we would all be blessed!" WHACK!!!
