Disclaimer: I don't own kenshin, but all ideas are mine...blah...blah...blah
Authors note: Thanks to Mz. Amber eyes for reminding me to change the rating of this story...oops! Haha...Thanks to Koishii Sweet, cutie-chan- XD3, flyingangel777, and Fire Gnome of the Carribea...for all the reviews! If you didn't get the end lf last chapter, basically what happened was Kaoru went to Misao's Apartment, and a guy was watching her from an angle, and finally drew the picture of that angle, and had a lotta other pictures...and then he said he would kill her...
_________________________________________
'Hmmph. That stubborn little girl, always running past my hallways. Shishio ordered the murder on her not too long ago...but what shall I do? Shishio isn't exactly older than me...but he did offer quite a lot of money..."
The fiery amber eyes slid over the copious drawings that lay on the table, as well as blue pencils that lay scattered across the table and floor. He reached back his rough and scarred hands, to play with his slick black hair. Which he measured down to his shoulder. He took out his katana, and quickly shaved through the back of his head. His small amber eyes burned through the bangs still and smirked. Saitoh would taste blood tonight.
~~~~~-~~~~~
"Ok Misao, Bye!"
Kaoru waved and walked past the neighbor's door, without a sound from the inside. She shrugged and smiled to herself, thinking of her new friend for the evening.. She opened her door, and closed it when, looking up, she saw a figure in all black sitting on the sofa, comfortably laid backwards. His head in his arms, he was merely staring at the ceiling.
"Hello there Kaoru..."
"Hi baby!"
"Kaoru...tell me what is it that you fear most?"
"Um...the same thing as everyone else. Death! Silly baka!"
"Indeed...how low of you...I expected much greater from you..."
"What? I thought you came over to have some fu-"
"Shuttup slut"
"Excuse me? Bitch get outta my house!"
"Haha...first off you're the bitch not me. You see me just SEE me this morning and want to go at it. How...slutty..."
"Grr!"
"And this time your boyfriend isn't here to save you..."
"How do you know about Enishi? And save me from what?"
"I know many things dear dear Kaoru..."
"Huh?"
"Such as how you are so lonely, that you resort to fake love and sex every...shall I continue?"
"Shuttup!"
"Make me..."
Kaoru blinked and walked over to Shishio, immediately slapping him hard across the face. He let his face be stuck, but as she raised her hand again he caught her wrist.
This time his voice was harsher than before, and he looked up. Fiery eyes glowing beneath all the black, he almost whispered his response.
"You listen up good...You will die tonight at the hands of Saitoh Hajime...unless of course you can tell me...are you aware of the legend of Battousai?"
"Sure, who isn't?"
"Well...track him down. You will go WITH Saitoh...and disturbance and you're dead. Got that?"
"Um..o-ok..."
At that moment, Saitoh burst through the door, Katana raised and all. Kaoru gasped suddenly and realized that her neighbor had actually been an assassin spying on its prey.
"Shishio, I expect much pay from you..."
"Of course...just find Battousai and bring him to me. We have some business to finish..."
"And the girl is for...?"
"Seriously...as pleasure for you and Battousai...to keep Battousai patient."
He turned and walked away, motioning for Saitoh, who was smirking, to follow. Kaoru lie dragging behind, mouth closed shut and ropes around her wrists. She was merely allowed to breathe, walk, and see. That was it.
For a whole two nights they went on like this. At night, Shishio could be seen talking to himself, to his cross, where Jesus lay crucified upon.
However, on the third night, she managed to get closer to Shishio, and see what he was doing. On the cross was not Jesus, but instead Satan, and he wasn't crucified. His hands were raised into the air.
She suddenly realized the reason for all the grumbling chanting, the reason for him wearing all black, for him being so dark and mysterious.
She fell asleep later that night than ever before caught up in her own thoughts. A soft sleep flew through her body...
~-~
Kaoru awoke the next evening, quite late, to the sound of pernicious laughter. It came from somewhere above her. She raised herself and shook her head.
She hadn't had so many nights without giving head, getting fingered, or even without kissing! Goddamn!
She looked around, and made sure that no one was looking. She quickly undressed herself and slid into a nearby spring. She turned her body over, and smiled, the warm water flowing over her curved body perfectly.
As night wore on, she remained in the hot spring. Apparently, since Shishio hadn't come to get her, they were staying a whole night.
A pair of amber eyes blinked themselves into the darkness. Kaoru, suddenly aware, drew to a section of the hot springs away from the shadowed figure and whispered into the night.
"Shishio? Saitoh? Have you come to get me?"
With no response the fear in Kaoru reached new heights, and suddenly she grew worried of her own life.
"Show yourself...Please!"
The figure emerged from the darkness into the moonlight, and she saw that the man's eyes did not show who he was at all.
The figure stood in a black and blue gi, with amber eyes that was quickly fading into a soft violet. The tender color made Kaoru's stomach tickle. She looked into his eyes once more and finally tore herself from those gorgeous eyes to his body.
Built and firm the figure was merely standing there, not too short, just a bit taller than her. His red hair was tied up into a high ponytail in the back of his head, while on his left cheek laid a scar. He took a step towards her.
"Who are you?"
"Kenshin...Kenshin Himura."
"Hello Kenshin! Well, you might want to be careful! Apparently a murderer by the name of Battousai or something like that is out on the loose!"
The man, it seemed, almost chuckled, He turned to see her clothes laid gently and folded against a rock. He walked over to the rock, and sat on it. This, after all, was originally his home, or had been for the past three days.
She turned to stare at him. Noticing him sitting just near her clothes, she immediately jumped out of the water and began shouting.
"Don't touch my clothes sir! Leave them alone! Please!"
Only then did she realize she was completely naked. She blushed shades darker than the man's hair, and immediately jumped back into the water, which splashed out and hit Kenshin in the face.
He winced, and she once again forgetting her nudity, jumped up to wash it off his face. But to no avail she realized she was naked and jumped back in and quite a large amount of water splashed out, soaking her clothes.
Kenshin on the other hand, managed to move aside, and walk behind a tree, evading into the shadows once more.
It was then she noticed there was just about no water left in the springs and her clothes were soaking wet! And with camp almost a mile away, how would she reach?
She sat down and began sniffling, curling up to herself. Maybe Shishio or Saitoh would find her!
However, Kenshin stepped forward, and eased her from the empty spring. He picked up her clothing and slung it over his shoulder. After picking up her fragile body, he began to walk away from the springs, turning this way and that.
As he maneuvered through the forest, Kaoru couldn't help but stare at him. He was so stunningly handsome she wanted to melt. And he was holding her! While she was naked none-the-less!
She heard a rustle of leaves, and it couldn't have been Kenshin, since he was completely silent. Only then did she notice that he hadn't talked at all. She sat up in his arms, and threw her arms around his neck. He stopped, and finally his voice emerged from his throat, in a warm soothing tone.
"Well, I am still unaware of your name dear lady, but I must add. I need to know whether this camp is yours or not..."
He stopped at a familiar clearing and Kaoru jumped down. She ran to her tent and put on her pajamas, her only other pair of clothing than her kimono. She looked up into his eyes, and saw pure warmth, yet something else hinting there...as if in anger...
She nodded, and he silently turned away. He lowered his head.
"So you are with Sirs Shishio and Saitoh?"
"Hai...but I was kidnapped..."
"For what reason?"
"Something about Battousai..."
"Hm...Well I will take you back to your. Get dressed and we shall be off."
"Hai...arigatou..."
Kenshin nodded, and when Kaoru had dressed fully, he picked her up and sped off, leaving the woods which had taken Shishio and Saitoh nearly three days to enter less than an hour for Kenshin to leave.
He dropped her off at the apartment and smiled.
"Kenshin...they know where I live..."
"Kaoru-dono..."
"How do you know my name?"
Kenshin smiled "I overheard you guys at camp yesterday...moving on..."
"I can give you a place to stay Kaoru-dono...but I am an assassin...would you want to live with me?"
"Hai!"
"Ok...grab your stuff and let's go..."
She packed her almost twenty bags of clothing and Kenshin fell over anime style.
"Oro! ...ok Kaoru pick three bags of those!"
She came back a few minutes later with four bulky bags, seemingly stuffed. Kenshin sweat dropped.
"That'll do I guess..."
Kenshin slung three bags over his back, and winced. They were pretty heavy. He picked up the third, and walked out of the apartment, leading her. They took the key just incase.
They left and ended up in a dusty, unclean, old dojo. Kenshin walked to the brightest cleanest room and declared it hers, before heading off.
She looked at the walls for a long time before sleeping. She was living with almost a complete stranger, being hunted by two master assassins, and living with another one.
She thought of Kenshin and her heart churned with glee. But she shook her head. Time to sleep.
