I do not own Rurouni Kenshin

ONE

Kaoru drowsily opened her eyes hoping to find herself awake from an awful

nightmare. To her disappointment, she found the morning sun shining into a

room that seemed like it was pulled out of traditional Japanese movie. Kaoru

moved the sheer curtains that surrounded her bed and got up to look around.

She headed for the door and carefully opened it to find two men by her door

that suddenly were pointing pistols at her. Kaoru screamed in fright when

they put away their guns at the sight of a terrified young girl

"It would be easier on you and us if you just do as we say," one of the guards

said grimly.

Kaoru nodded slowly unable to get any words out of her clenched mouth.

They led her down a flight of carpeted stairs leading into a beautifully done

up living room in a Japanese type of style. They continued to lead her

through some hallways, past some doors, and finally into an immense meeting

room where an old crooked man sat very comfortably.

"So you're Ms. Kamiya, Kaoru," the man said with a raspy voice.

Kaoru didn't know how to react, "What's going on."



The old man smiled and got up from his seat revealing his stature of 6"7'

that was supported by a well-crafted wooden cane. The old man towered

over Kaoru and she felt a hidden sense of authority beaming from the man.



"I paid a good 100 million for you," the old man said with a light laugh.

Kaoru couldn't believe what this man had just said, "What are you talking

about?"

"I needed a particular girl and you were the one," the man said not exactly

explaining anything.

"What are you going to do with me you?" Kaoru asked anxiously.

"I guess your so called boyfriend didn't inform you about your situation.

You've been sold to an old man in need of a granddaughter-in-law," the old

man said giving Kaoru an almost pleasant smile.

Kaoru was bewildered, "What are you talking about?!"

"Ah, you see I need a girl to marry my grandson to in order for him to

inherit my son's company but it seems like his younger brother is going to

find a bride sooner then I expected him to," the old man said confusing

Kaoru even more.



"They're both your grandsons though." Kaoru said misunderstanding where

this old man was headed.

The old man suddenly had an angry look across his face, "The younger ones

mother was just a local 'entertainer' that somehow got into our family by

seducing my late son."



Kaoru felt her head spin in confusion, "You're just a crazy old man!"

"I'm not the one that's crazy! It's Ryuta that was crazy! After I give him my

billionaire company he decides to even consider giving it to that piece of

trash of a kid Enishi?! How dare he after I spent years building up IDK!

(Note from author: IDK stands for '"I don't know.")" The old man yelled as

his wrinkled face turned a bright shade of red.



Kaoru watched the old man stumble into a seat and take in a couple of deep

breaths. He returned to normal as he fingered for the two guards to come

over.







"Take Ms. Kamiya to Kenshin. I'd like to see what Kenshin thinks of his new



fiancé," the man said with a cold grin.
