Kenshin thought to himself," how could I lose her"? Loneliness overwhelmed him. He thought back to how they had met.
Kenshin Himura, a wanderer who was also a manslayer from the revolution, had two personalities; kenshin the pacifist who only fought to protect his friends and the other was known as hitokiri battousai the manslayer. Kenshin was traveling through Tokyo when confronted by a young woman named Kaoru; she challenged him to a fight as she thought kenshin was the battousai.after kenshin saved kaoru from a false manslayer, She found out that kenshin was in fact the legendary battousai. But despite his horrible rumors, kaoru wanted to know the kind side of kenshins' heart not the soul of the manslayer.
It has been a while since that day and kenshin thinks to himself about how and if he can save her. She has been gone for a while now, I must find out who has abducted miss Kaoru, that I must. Sanosuke told misao and everyone else in Kyoto to find out any information they can. There were visible signs of a fight; miss kaoru is a strong one, that she is. Yea you're right the little missy should be all right for now, said Sanosuke, 'but I must find out who has done this so I'm leaving', said kenshin. Kenshin searched his mind for clues as to who could have done this. He thought the motive of this person could have been the same as kurogasa, a manslayer that kenshin once fought who took kaoru for the sole purpose of reverting kenshin back to the battousai. But it wouldn't happen now since kenshin mastered the hiten mitsarugi: amakakeru ryu no hirameki and defeated mokoto shishio as well as shougo amakusa [another practitioner of the hiten mitsarugi style]. Kenshin thought of all the previous experiences and friends he met in Kyoto as well as Tokyo.
Kenshin remembered something about his past. It involved a confrontation with a foreigner in the rage of the revolution with great combat skill. He said he would find out one day, a weakness of the battousai. This was kenshins only lead and he decided to trust it. 'Kenshin thought, this person wants to fight the battousai so he uses kaoru as bait. I won't fall prey to whoever has done this but I promise to save Kaoru, that I do'. Back at the kamiya dojo yahiko yelled for kenshin. 'KENSHIN, KENSHIN'!! Kenshin came as fast as he could. 'What is it yahiko??!!' said kenshin. Yahiko told kenshin that he found a matchbook, sanosuke said,' "those must be that idiot Saitos' matches." "That they are," said kenshin. Kenshin raced to the police dept. to contact Saito [a rival of kenshin who was the leader of the third squad of the shinsengumi during the meiji revolution]. Kenshin demanded information about kaorus'abduction. "That woman of yours is really a strong one she didn't give in easily when she was taken to. if you want more info you'll have to fight me for it" said saito "I can't believe you would gamble with her life like that, time is running out and I must find her!!" kenshin replied. Just then saito used a gototsu in which kenshin easily blocked. "Why didn't you stop him and why did you purposefully leave you're matches as evidence that you were there"?, asked kenshin.
Saito replied, he was out of there too quickly, besides you're the hero right? I dropped the matches because I knew you would show up here. He is in Osaka you should fight him there. Kenshin went to Osaka as fast as he could with the help of the oniwaban group and their resources. Kenshin was traveling the Osaka area where he felt an awkward presence. Kenshin dodged a shuriken-throwing knife, just then a voice said, so you found me after all battousai. It was the one who took kaoru! "Who are you?" kenshin asked. I am Neal the one you faced in the revolution. I was a U.S. officer who became caught in the revolution; I am now a bounty hunter who tracks criminals and those wanted from the Meiji. You are one of the highest bounties. Neal then threw a small bomb which kenshin cut off the wick with god-like speed. The bounty hunter was astonished. He then pulled out A katana in the right hand from a sheath on his back and a wakizashi from a sheath on his left side with his left hand and was prepared to fight. Kenshin thought "he certainly has a unique fighting style" Neal charged kenshin and used the katana while defending against kenshins ryu shou sen with the wakizashi. Kenshin blocked the sideways slash from the katana and jumped backwards. Neal then attacked kenshin with a fury of sword jabs and slashes from both swords. Kenshin became poised for a battoujutsu while Neal prepared for his junetsu [a technique which involves a vertical slash from the katana and a horizontal slash from the wakizashi, but when lunged toward the enemy using the momentum of weight and gravity.] kenshins battoujutsu struck before the junetsu and Neal was hit in the torso. Kenshin again was ready to fight but Neal was hit by kaorus' wooden sword.
Kaoru said, "He shouldn't have let his guard down" Neal was knocked out. "And KENSHIN!"Said kaoru "oro?" replied kenshin "you may have saved me before but YOU WERE LATE this time", said kaoru just then sanosuke, misao, and yahiko came "so were is he", asked sanosuke "he's already been beaten, that he has" said kenshin "damn missed another fight, well this trip was boring" said sanosuke. They all headed back to Tokyo and took the injured bounty hunter with them to megumi. When they got back.
