Amber Eyes
Chapter 22:Where Am I Now?
Summary: Kaoru has been kidnapped once again. Who is it this time? Is it Apocolypse again?
I didn't know where I had been carried off to, nor who carried me. Of course it was because I was knocked unconcious by the culprit. It wasn't the fact that I was always kidnapped that made me seem helpless all the time, though that was one of the factors, but really it was the fact that if I only carried my bokken then I could easily defend myself.
It really sucks being kidnapped so many times, especially when you are well able to defend yourself. I knew that Kenshin would come though. The only thing I was really worried about was if my baby was going to be okay. I hope to kami that who ever took me doesn't hurt my child. Then I saw him.
It was too dark to make out the figure heading towards me. I only spoke out to him.
"Wh-who's there?" No reply came, the 'thing' wasn't heading towards me, it was standing and staring at something. "Wh-what are you looking at?"
"Shh." the words were simple, and for the protection of my baby and my life, I was silent. Silent as the dead. I was pretty sure that whatever spoke, was a male. I was almost positive that it wasn't Apocolypse though. Apocolypse was much bigger than this. I could only make out his basic height and weight though, nothing more, or I would have known, or at least had an idea, of who it was. Finally, I got up my courage to speak once again.
"Who are-" I was cut off by his cold voice.
"Unless you want me to kill your unborn child, you will shut up." Tears came to my eyes unintentionally. I was not meaning to cry, but the thought of someone hurting the child of my love, it broke my heart only thinking about it. I then noticed what was holding me back since I had awaken. I was tied to a tree, with twine. It was tightly bound to my rists, so tight I felt the blood start to seap down my arm onto my Kimono that I was wearing.
What was that man looking at? I had no intention of asking of course, I was not going to risk my child's life. I turned my head, hoping I could see something else. But it was nothing I had hoped for.
On the other tree was an unconcious Tsubame, next to an unconcious mother, and her father who looked like he had been threatened earlier. I think that he was threatened with his daughter's life, because every time he made a small sound, he would look over at Tsubame. When he noticed that I was awake he "Psst" at me.
I turned my head, to see him motioning to see if I was okay. I nodded knowing that he was at his jerking all that he was really worried about was getting his family out. And he was also worried about me.
My gaze turned back to the man in a distance. He was still fixed on whatever was in front of him, which was obviously nothing because he took a deep sigh of relief and told me that I was able to talk as long as I shut up when he told me. I used my time wisely after I had almost used all my time up. At first I only wanted to talk to Sano, then someone could comfort me. He was no comfort at all though. "Psst, Sano, are you okay."
"Yeah you?"
"I'm fine."
"How is Tsubame, you can see her better than I." I looked down at the unconsious baby that was laying in a cage, bundled in a single sheet.
"She seems fine."
"Thank kami. What about Megumi?"
"Besides a few cuts, she is fine."
"Okay, I can't wait until Kenshin gets here to beat this guy to a pu- " The man in a distance spoke once again.
"To what? Beat me to a pulp right? I don't think so my dear boy." 'That voice, it sounds so firmiliar.'
"Who are you?"
"Your worst nightmare my dear girl." 'I know I have heard that voice before.' When he turned around, I could tell instantly who it was. His eyes looked like him, because it was. "I am your father-in-law."
This was the man I was looking for all this time. This was the man who murdered my father and countless other innocent lives. He is the one who cause so much suffering for so many people.
(A/N I know it is short but I ran out of ideas. sorry.I did give a good cliffy though.)
