Meta: Sorry for the delay everyone. But you might be glad to know I have some ideas for some great stories. I hope to have them wrote out as soon as possible. One story I have the first half chapter of it written, it's a Gundam W one and the name is The Hated Pink. It's one where Relean remodels everything, so the only bashing that will go on will be the ones that lead her to this action. So keep checking to see if I put it up soon. Oh, want to know what stupid thing I did.

Meta: Well, my sister had ran outside while I was going to get something from the car for my mom. You see my uncle lives like twelve feet infront of us, he and his fiance are the only one they really listen too. (Meaning my twin brother and sister that are four) To inform you the ground here is really uneven, so I go up about two steps before she goes inside. For some strange reason I either fell or went down the steps backwards. My left foot didn't touch right, I fell and hurt it really badly, lets say so much I started bawling like a baby. Then my grandmother went to check what was taking so long. she got my mom and I couldn't get up our steps.

Meta: So I had to force myself to crawl up them! My mom didn't take me to the hospital, saying that it was hurt less than what happen a few years ago. I told her that I was currently in alot more pain than back then. She said I wasn't, can you believe that telling me how much pain I was in. How can she know!

Meta: Let's just say she is taking me later. Why? Well my ankle is about four times bigger than it is suppose to be.

Meta: Enough ranting. Review people, now on with the story.

~*~*~*~*~*~*

Yes, it was offical she was pooped, she wasn't really used to all this traveling. Not at all, and it showed. Kaoru was sitting under a tree letting the breeze cool her body down. Now it would only be a couple of short hours til' dark, she was going to sleep outside tonight. Never would there be a way to get to the nearest village by then.

After a bite of food and a drink of water she was off again on her travels. Unfortately all she had as company were the animals, but they kept running off everytime she neared any one of them. I wonder if they think I stink or something. None of them stay, if I move even one inch closer to them. Yep, that was a very strange thought.

~*~*~*~*~*

The sun was setting now that the two hours were almost gone. Kaoru had not seen any person since she started out. She found herself spacing out until the sounds of footsteps and mutters were clear in the bushes lining the road. The prospect of being robbed or another situation never accurred to her that it may happen. To put what happened next simply, she ran, though the group of nine men or so caught up. Damn, this heavy pack.

It was clear they were theives she didn't even have to look at them to tell. Other thing was...... they were hideous! Looking at them hurt her eyes. A bald man then spoke, "Well, men should we take her stuff and leave her for dead. Or take her stuff and have some fun." They were oblivious she guessed to the fact, that she did have a sword on her side.

When they started to close in she shrugged off her bag, and took a fighting stance. One of the other men stopped and looked at her as though she were insane. "You think your going to fight us all. Ha, you don't stand a chance.", he said in a very haughty manner. "Think I'm going to stand here and let you do whatever you please with me." Man, was fire burning in her eyes. They thought because she was a girl she couldn't defend herself. Oh, would they come to regret it.

"Oooo, nice voice. I think I'll enjoy listening to your screams.", cooed some other man with greasy black hair. Then they made their move, she dodged the first two. Punched another in the face, round house kicking the one behind her. Though one managed to grab her arms and pull them behind her back, he was tooken care of by a kick to where it hurts. As two came rushing at her from either side she flipped back out of the way, resulting in their head on crash.

When she landed she was caught by suprise by the last ones standing though. One twisting her arms back the other connected their foot with her back, forcing her to the ground in pain. Before she hit the ground though she saw the other seven coming over. Next she heared someone saying hadn't your mothers teach you not hurt girls, before some groans of pain reached her ears.

Now their retreating footsteps were heard as someone lifted her to her feet. Kaoru opened her eyes to see a tall spiky brown hair man infront of her. He had beautiful brown eyes, nice body too. His clothes consisted of a white bandanna around his head, white pants, black shoes, and a white jacket that had the kanji for bad on the back of it.

"Are you alright missy? You put up a heck of a fight against them." he said. She brushed herself off replying, "I'm fine, thanks for your help." "No problem, had fun", was his answer. Then she notice the fish bone in his mouth and wonder if he fought while chewing on it. "It's not safe here, you should stay at my camp near here. By the way my name is Sanouske Sagara." (A/N: Did I spell it right?) Realizing she hadn't told him her name she blushed and said,"Mine is Kaoru Kamiya, and thanks I wouldn't mind having a camp buddy." "Okay let's go." He picked up her bag and started to walk to the left were she notice a small path.

Meta: Sorry that took forever for me to write. Well, my ankle is sprained and I have to use crutches. Oh, I want I know if this should be a Ka/Sano Ka/Batt or a Ka/Sou in the beginning. Of course it will end in a Ka/Batt anyways. Also wanted to say sorry for the short chapter, I'll try to get the next one out soon.
