Chapter 14
"Nosy little brat..." a tall man with a head that resembles that of a broomstick, said, shaking his head to the unconscious boy. "You should sleep for a while. I'll take care of them. You go as far as you want, Enishi." he added, turning to smirk at Enishi, with an unconscious Kaoru in his arms.
"Yeah, do whatever you want to them, Chou." Enishi smirked, putting Kaoru on his car. "Thanks pal."
"Whatever." Chou waved his hand lazily. "Besides, I want to give that damned roosterhead a good knock-out." he said, as Enishi started the engine of his car, going away.
"Nice catch there, pal, heheh." Chou grinned, watching Enishi's car disappear from his eyes.

"Nani?" Misao's eyes widened, hearing the news from Sano. "What do you mean by that? Nothing happened to Kaoru, right?" she added worriedly.
"I'm not sure, Misao." Sano's voice from the other line said, with a little panic.
"What do you..." Misao said, beginning to grow angry. "I tell you, Sano! If something happened to her, I'm going to kill you, Sano! I'm telling you!!!"
"That's why I'm telling you this." Sano's voice became serious. "You have to go to the police station now. I have this feeling that something bad is about to happen."
"Where is Kaoru?" Misao asked.
"We still don't know. We're going to find her. That's for sure."
"But..."
"We're going to tell you if we find out where she is."
"Okay... does Sayo know?"
"No."
"NANI?"
"I don't want to scare her."
"But she have to know."
"Then tell her."
"Okay." Misao said. "I'm going now."
"Thanks Misao."
"Just go save my friend, our friend." Misao let a sigh. "And please be careful, okay?"
"Hai."

"Unghh..." Yahiko finally opened his eyes, trying to focus his vision. "N-nani? W-where?"
"Finally awake little kid?"
"Chou!" Yahiko almost jumped hearing Chou's voice but felt that his hands and feet are tied tightly. "What the-?!? Let me go!!!"
"No way." Chou smirked at the boy who glared at him.
"Where the heck am I?" Yahiko asked, looking around.
"At my place." Chou said, while Yahiko glared at him. "Don't look at me like that. I wouldn't do it to you if you were not eavesdropping."
"I'm not!" Yahiko growled. "I was just trying to protect Kaoru..." then his eyes wide open when a thought strike him. "Kaoru! Where is she?!?"
"My lips are sealed." Chou said in a mocking tone, making Yahiko glare at him again.
"WHERE IS SHE?!?!?" Yahiko nearly yelled.
"In a place far away from here." Chou smirked, when he saw Yahiko's face paled.
"What are you planning to do to her?!?!?"
"Enishi wants to play with her."
"That DARN Enishi!!!! If something bad happened to my friend!!!! I swear ENISHI IS GOING TO REGRET IT!!!"
"Oh..." Chou smirked mockingly. "We are so scared." he added sarcastically, before leaving Yahiko alone.
"Grrr... I have to escape from here, somehow." he said, still looking around the darkened room, when his wandering eyes dropped on the broken pieces of window glass.
***
"Yahiko! Yahiko! YAHIKO!!!" Sano and Kenshin both called, looking all around the places near the Akabeko.
"This is not good." Kenshin said worriedly. "I don't like this."
"We have to split." Sano said. "I'll go this way. You go that way. Do you have your cellphone?"
"Hai." Kenshin nodded.
"Then just call me if you find something." Sano said and Kenshin only nodded silently. "Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen to her." he added, not sounding so convincing himself, before going to the other direction.
"Yahiko! Kaoru! YAHIKO! KAORU!" he called, still looking around. 'This is all my fault. If only I didn't let her go alone.' he added to himself. 'I swear if anything bad happened to her...'
***
"Misao!" Aoshi stopped his car, seeing Misao ran as fast as she could to god-knows-where.
"Aoshi-sama!" Misao blinked, seeing Aoshi's car stop near her.
"Wanna ride?" he said, and Misao gladly nodded.
"A-arigato." Misao said, still gasping for air as she get in his car.
"What happened? Why are you in such a rush?" Aoshi asked her worriedly.
"I-It's... i-it's... K-Kaoru..." Misao said, as tears began streaming down her face. "Kami-sama... Ple-please do-don't l-let a-any-anything ba-bad h-happen to my friend..." she cried, and Aoshi stopped his car.
"Are you alright?" he asked worriedly, patting Misao's shoulder.
"I-if s-some-something b-bad h-happened to h-her... I d-don't k-now what w-will I=I d-do..." she cried as she buried her face on his shoulder.
Aoshi just sat there, not knowing what to do or what to say. He just sat there, awkwardly patting her head. "Nothing bad will happen. Kaoru-san is a strong lady. She can take care of herself." he sair reassuringly.
"B-but..." Misao looked up straight into his eyes, still crying but Aoshi puts a finger on her lips, stopping her from saying anymore.
"Nothing bad will happen. You believe in your friend, right?" he asked and Misao slowly nodded. "Then everything will be alright." he said, before giving her his most geniune smile.
***
"Ungh... W-where am I?" Kaoru mumbled, slowly opening her eyes sitting up from the bed, trying to get familiar with her suroundings. "I... W-where a-am I?"
"The sleeping beauty finally is awake."
"Huh?" Kaoru's eyes wide open hearing the very familiar voice, nearby. She turned and saw Enishi leaning on the door, staring at her with a malicious glint in his eyes.
"N-nani?" Kaoru asked in a low tone. "W-where am I?"
"Don't worry, my princess... Nothing bad will happen to you." he said, smirking at her evilly.
"What?" Kaoru frowned, starting to grow nervous. "What are you going to do?" she asked, hugging herself, as she felt herself shivering under his malicious stare.
"Nothing..." he said.
"W-why are you staring at me like that?" she asked, looking away.
"Because you are so beautiful."
"What are you going to do with me?!? Where am I?!?"
"I told you. Nothing bad will happen to you." Enishi repeated firmly, taking some steps near her.
"Then why did you take me here? What are you planning to do?"
"I just want to keep you away from them."
"What are you saying?" Kaoru frowned.
"I want you to be with me. I don't want them to take you away from me." Enishi said sternly. "You are mine and only mine. I will never let them get you from me."
"What are you talking about?!?" Kaoru said, raising her voice. "I am nobody's possesion!!!"
"No. You are mine!" Enishi smirked. "Only mine."
Kaoru just stared, frowning at the man in front of her. This man is not Enishi. Not the Enishi she have grown to love. This man is very different to the knid-hearted and nice guy she have used to know and to fall n love with. "Why are you dong this? You're not the Enishi I used to know."
"It's nothing like that." he said.
"So everything that they say about you... is... is... true..." she said, not believing everything in front of her eyes. "Everything was true... That you are not what you seems you are."
"I'm doing this because of you."
"Then everything that Sayo told me is true." Kaoru said, not really listening to Enishi's last statement.
"That was all in the past."
"And is it true that you're going to hurt me... the way you have hurt her..." Kaoru said in a low tone.
"It's true that I have hurt Sayo that last time. But I will never do it to you." he said seriously, shaking his head. "You are different from your cousin, Kaoru. Sayo, she is just like a doll, who always needs to be protected. All the other girls who became a part of my life." he smiled sadly before focusing his gaze to Kaoru. "But... you... you are different."
"Nani?" she frowned at him.
"You are different from the others." he repeated. "You are no doll that is use for display. Use to lock in a corner and to protect. You are a strong lady and your strong character keeps you above from all."
"What are you talking about?" she frowned more.
"I have liked you ever since I first set an eye for you. But of course you don't know that." he said, ignoring her. "I know there are many guys out there who have these crush on you, though they're not really that brave to tell you. Afraid that you might knock them out if they do." he chuckled. "Even that rooster-head friend of yours. I know you are special to him."
"Sanosuke?"
"I know he cares for you, but I also know that you only see him as a friend." he smiled ruefully. "I never made my move then, because I know that you will never fall for him."
"Sano is just my friend." Kaoru corrected. "He likes my cousin."
"That's because that is what he shows you." he replied and Kaoru only stared at him as if he is crazy. "Then came this redhead. I know to the first that he will be a threat for me."
"Kenshin?" she said his name in a low tone.
"I know he has something for you. From the way he looks at you or the way he smiled at you. I know he has some feelings for you." he paused for a moment before adding. "And I know you have something for him too."
"Kenshin is my best friend. He only sees me just like that." she said, looking away, trying to avoid his eyes.
"What he is feeling for me... it's just something a person feels for a friend or worse for a little sister."
"That's because you don't want to open your eyes to see the truth." Enishi said. "He loves you and I know you will fall for him too. That's why I see that he is a threat."
"You..."
"That's why I took you here. I don't want any of them taking you away from me because you are only mine! just MINE!!"
"You're sick." she said, shaking her head as Enishi left her alone in the room.
***
"There!" Yahiko exclaimed happily as he finally got rid of the ropes that tied his hands. "I have to get out of here as soon as possible." He said, working on the tie on his feet. Before looking everywhere for his cellphone.
"Where the heck is that thing?" he mumbled angrily, then stopped dead when he heard footsteps coming by.
"I will make that broomhead pay for what he did to me!" he said to himself, hiding behind the door.
***
Kaoru just sat there and stared at nowhere, then his words strikes her.
'I'm sorry…' his voice came echoing in her mind. 'I didn't mean to interfere with your life.'
Is it true?
'I'm just a man… who wants to see his friend… his bestfriend… the same bestfriend… he fell in love with…'
Is it really true?
'I love you Kaoru… I have loved you ever since…'
'He really loved me ever since.' she thought sadly, burying her face on her up drawn knees. 'How could I be so blind? He have loved me all this years and I never realized it until now… How could I hurt him like this? How could I be so childish… so clueless?' she silently lectured herself as tears came flowing freely in her eyes.
