Chapter Five
Death Isn't Always So Bad Part Two
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Look Misao….I have to. It's my job now. So don't try to stop it!" Kaoru said while unsheathing her sword. "I have nothing else to do. You're the one who pushed me away from everything here! So why can't I get revenge?!" Kaoru asked getting a little ticked off now even thought Misao asked one question about her job.
"Because I'm your friend!! Kaoru why can't you understand that? I thought we were playing a game!! You can't just kill people because it's your job!! You have to have a reason to kill!!!" Misao tried to reason. "It's not fun to kill….I know….because I was in a gang before I came here….my assignments were always people with lots of money!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~FlashBack~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Misao!! You have an assignment to do!!" Misao's boss, Chang, called from the office in the warehouse. Misao came running towards the office.
"Yes Chang? You called." Misao said quietly while slightly bowing.
"You have an assignment.. your next assignment is to kill Ling Wan… He's the richest man around this block so far.. I want you to rob him.. but make sure you're not caught!" Chang said. "Oh…and you're doing this tonight at 10:00. Okay?"
"Yes Chang." Misao said and again slightly bowing.
10:00 That Night
Misao slid past all of the bars and shops to find her assignment. Then she spotted him looking at a shop window longingly. She saw that the place was deserted so far. No one was around.
"This is too easy.." Misao said quietly. She quietly got her daggers out and ran to her victim.
"Which one should I get for-" Ling Wan said before he got daggers crossing him. One hit him in the heart and Misao got one of her long daggers out and slashed his head. (An: Sounds so much like Battousai doesn't it? Hehe, this is my story, I make it up as I go along.) The head fell to the ground with a thud and a pool of blood ran around the dead body.
Misao got the money that was in his wallet, which he had out of his hand.
"Why does boss give me such easy people to kill? I'll ask him later."

"That's my story so far. And it continued for two years. Then our gang was caught and everyone was killed. They couldn't kill me because I got away. I was lucky. But you won't be lucky if you join someone like those people." Misao said while pointing to Kenshin, who was glaring daggers, or swords, at Misao.
"She doesn't have to listen to you! She can choose whoever she wants to join. And she joined the Imperialists! She doesn't have to listen to you." Kenshin defended Kaoru. "Come on Kaoru! You can get her!" Kenshin rooted for Kaoru.
"Thanks Kenshin.. And I'll gladly destroy her for you." Kaoru said while turning to Kenshin who was looking at two bodies on the floor which were Aoshi and Sano. Then she turned back to Misao. Her eyes were full of a sadness that anyone could crumble under. Her gaze was so full of sorrow.
Misao saw Kaoru mouth out the words 'I'm sorry Misao!'. Then she saw Kaoru jump up suddenly and landed in front of Misao. "AHHHH" Misao screamed.
Clang!!!! The sound was heard throughout the entire dojo. (An: Come to think of it, that sound was pretty loud to echo like that!) Kaoru saw Aoshi standing there with his katana drawn out. "You won't get Misao! You can't!! I won't let you!!" Then Aoshi lunged forward to Kaoru.
Kenshin seeing the way the battle was going to far, took out his sakabatou and helped Kaoru fight Aoshi. That's when Kenshin realized that he had seen Aoshi somewhere. He stopped fighting and looked at Aoshi for a moment. 'Where have I seen this guy? He looks so familiar!' Kenshin thought. Then his eyes turned to an amber color. 'I don't care where I saw him, he needs to die for trying to protect my assignment!!'
Kaoru saw Kenshin just standing there and called out to him, "Kenshin!! Can you help?" She asked.
"I'm sorry Kaoru.. but let's just go for now.. I'll tell boss that I found a better assignment to do. Let's go!!" Kenshin said as he started to leave the dojo.
"WHAT?!!!! I thought we were supposed to finish this assignment first!!" Kaoru screamed.
"LET'S GO NOW!!!!!" Kenshin screamed.
Kaoru winced at the capacity of his voice. And obeyed quietly. They both left the dojo without saying a word.
