Chapter 4: Kidnapped

Kaoru was doing her homework when she heard a TAP! on her window. She looked up. It's probably just a squirrel......

TAP! Tap, tap, tap....

Then her window broke and something came in, she couldn't make out the blur, because then she got hit in the head.

Kenshin turned on the tv to see today's weather forecast.

"We interrupt this program for a very important news annoucement." Probably just some hallubalu. (a/n lol hallubalu)

"Two teenagers have reported missing." Probably a guy and his girl runnning away since their parents don't want them seeing eachother.

"The first one's name is Tomoe Yukishiro." Tomoe? Don't tell me she commited suicide. Damn her. Now I'm guna be questioned. (O.O) What if they thought I killed her or something....I mean I did use to be a battousai....(a/n hehe sorry i'm not sure if i spelled that right)

"The other one's name is Kaoru Kamiya." Kaoru......she wouldn't commit suicide.......would she? Is this my fault? What the heck? Oh boy, yipee, I'm guna be questioned twice as much.....who could have stolen her......? Tomoe wouldn't...........would she........?

"All I havta do now is wait for Kenny to come and get the bait...one step closer and she is toast. If he kills me.....he's guna be sorry he ever wanted to dump me."

Kaoru opened her eyes.

"Tomoe?"

"What do you want you witch?"

"..........how can you do this?"

"It's simple, I HATE YOU."

"Kenshin........."

"Don't worry your knight in shining armor will be attending this ball." What is she up to?

"I just can't wait to see Kenny slaughter you himself." Ugh, that Kenny stuff again. Slaughter me? How.....no....he would never....slaughter her? Well let's just say that's more likely than him slaughtering me. Kaoru looked down...this isn't my body....I don't dress like this....no...nooooooooooooooo......I look like.......like.....Tomoe......I see now....he would slaughter her if I asked him to or if he felt my life was threatened.....so she made me look like her and her look like.......me. Kenshin will slaughter me. I havta find a way to stop this......oh Kenshin......

"Right after school, he will come here...just watch..."

"Hey Sano."

"Yo."

"Did you talk to Tomoe yesterday?"

"After you chased after Kaoru and pushed her aside she got this wicked little grin. I wouldn't mess with that girl. Misao said Tomoe tried to blackmail Kaoru."

"Blackmail?" So Tomoe may have..........Kaoru's in danger.....

"You should go to her house after school. I'll even come with you if you want. Megumi keeps stalking me, I'll just havta cancel. Everytime I say I'm helping a friend she asks "What friend?" I say a girl and she freaks. I'll just say I havta do some things aight? I'll be there for your big moment! HAHAHAHAHA."

"Shut up Sano."

"See yah later." That girl is a little envious freak of NATURE. Saying other people are jealous....

BRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING. Lunch time.

"Hi Kenshin."

"Hey babe. So what did you want?"

"One: don't call me babe. Two: You know where Kaoru is? Three: Tomoe......is....well.....you know..."

"Yea, I know, Misao."

"Anyway, we're going to the Akabeko later tonight. You coming?"

"When? If it's after school me and Sano can't go."

"Later then, we'll just reschedule. I mean if you don't come we can't have a party can we?"

"K."

BRIIIIIIIING. School was over.

"Yo Sano."

"Ready."

"K. Now we just have to decide on the driver."

"Lemme drive."

"No. You easily get drunk, I can't risk my life cuz some idiot is well an idiot."

"If you felt that way why did you say we need to decide. Geez man you have problems."

Soon enough they arrived. Why would she even hide herself in her house and report herself missing? That just doesn't seem right........it's just not right.

"Sano isn't it strange?"

"What?"

"If she was hiding in her home why would she report herself missing? I mean they would have to investigate her home."

"Hmmmmmm........maybe they overlooked it."

"Tch yea right. Sano you're an idiot."

"You sound like jou-chan."

"Eh....let's just get this over with."

Ding dong

"No one's answering."

"That's obvious Sano. How'd it go with Megumi?"

"Oh that bitch. We aren't together anymore. She got pissed off that I help friends too much."

"Oi, I see. Just another wench right?"

"Yea. So we bust in or what?"

"What do you think?" Sano looked stunned.

"Aight man. I'll go in and unlock the door."

"Hurry up." Sano broke a window and climbed in. CLICK! Kenshin opened the door and walked in.

"You know this house good right, Kenshin?"

"Yea, why?"

"Are there any hidden compartments?" That's right. Her house is like some maze you can't get out of once you got in.

"Follow me, Sano." They rushed down the dark corridor and up the stairs. "There should be a switch behind some painting somewhere." They looked.

"I don't see any paintings." Kenshin saw something glint when the sun hit it. He walked over there and there was the switch.

"Looks like I found it."

"Well what are you waiting for?"

"It might be a trap...."

"What you gotta be kidding me." Sano pushed the button. "Nothing happened..." Kenshin looked around, nothing. Sano stared at the painting. Then something was creeping out of it. First it was a nail, then it became a finger, and then it was a hand. Then a bloody skull came out....

"Uh Kenshin........" Kenshin continued looking around. "KENSHIN!" Sano backed away from the painting and bumped into Kenshin. It was coming closer. SAno turned around and pushed Kenshin down the stairs and jumped down himself. They fell in a heap at the bottom of the stairs.

"You idiot. GET OFF OF ME!" Sano stood up.

"Kenshin I thought the bottom of the stairs stop in the living room."

"They do, genius."

"Then why are we in the basement......"

"I.......I really don't know."

"Kenshin.......there's Tomoe and Kaoru." Sano pointed over to where the two girls were hung up on the wall. Something isn't right about this picture......Kaoru......seems like she's gain some.....wait a minute...... "What are you waiting for? Unhook Kaoru already you dumbass."

"No." Kenshin drew his sword and slashed at Kaoru.

"YOU JUST KILLED JOU-CHAN!!!!!!!!! THIS MAN IS CRAZY!!!!!"

"Look you idiot, it's just fluff in here." He rubbed the white stuff between his fingers.

"That's weird." Sano went over to Tomoe and felt her arm. "You think it's just fluff here too?" (a/n lmao that idiot yea well i wrote him lol) Kenshin slashed through the cuffs around Tomoe's hands, waist, and feet. He rubbed her face with his hand. Just as I thought.....this was all a deceivement...this is Kaoru.

"It'll be okay Kaoru... We're taking you home now." Kaoru had a half smile. Kenshin......

Flashback

"Kenshin!!!!!! Kenshin come back!!" Kaoru fell to the floor and reached her hand out towards Kenshin. Who was running away with......Tomoe. "Kenshin........."

Kaoru's face became wet......it's raining over my tears....

"Hey Kaoru I'm back! Kaoru?" Kaoru pulled the shades closed. I thought he loved me.....he was only kidding. Kaoru could feel her face becoming warm again, with the wetness of her tears. Kenshin banged on the door.

"Kaoru! What are you doing Kaoru? I thought...you were my best friend....." Kenshin walked away into the rain making it home only to be soaked and beated by his parents.

"Why did you do that?"

"I didn't do anything to Kaoru mommy....."

"YOU MADE HER CRY."

"Noooo I didn't." Then his mother whacked him with a stick. "Mommy.........you gave me a scar......" He reached up to his cheek.

"It will heal." It never did....
