Kenshin yawned tiredly. He had gotten a long sleep the previous evening, but to tell the truth, fishing just bored him. Nothing was biting that afternoon, it seemed, as he had been there for at least a half hour and nothing even began to nibble, nor did the water seem to ripple with any slight movement.
His eyes became more alert as he realized where exactly he was. "Jineh..." He mumbled to himself, his tone harsh, as if Jineh had once again taken Kaoru hostage.
Kaoru had begun to nurse her hand; the sudden movements of her bokken had not helped anything. She began to wrap new, slightly damp bandages around it, as the deep wound had opened itself again. Being by herself and without one hand, wrapping it had proved to be rather difficult, and she sighed as she looked at her work, disgusted. It looked terrible, but it would have to do for the moment.
As she looked up from her injured hand, she heard something in the trees in the courtyard. Her eyes narrowed. "Who's there?" She called, looking around for the possible stalker.
The man made himself known, rather frightening at a good seven feet tall.
Kaoru paled. Surely, no one could be that tall, could they?
The man grinned. "Good. It's best to keep your little wise mouth shut, chick. You sent my boss to jail, now YOU have to pay the consequences. He lunged for her throat, a small dagger much like the one Akira held when handling Kaoru making its way to her soft, delicate skin.
She reached for his legs. 'No one can be that tall...They're wooden stilts...or something'. She thought, trying to knock him down.
He glared. He didn't think she was smart enough to figure him out.
"Nighty night." He smiled, reaching for something in his sleeve and launching it at her.
She fell limply at his feet. A small trickle of blood ran down her arm, as her eyes fell shut.
It seems as if she had not been quick enough to figure him out, and that had been her downfall.
