Ps: please excuse my DREADFUL grammar. But I'm sure u'll grasp what I mean. Have fun!!!


"Kaoru-dono!!!" shouted Kenshin as he jogged down road after road. "Where are you???"

"Kaoru, show up will you???!!!!" said Sano

"We're tired of this hide-and-seek. At least show your face or......anything!!!!" YAhiko tried to keep up. That miso soup and yakiniku still hadn't filled his tummy. He clutched his stomach and once again called out "KAORU!!!!"

"Listen!" Kenshin halted. He stood in front of a passage between 2 big buildings. Somewhere he could hear cries and laughter. "Sano, do you think Kaoru might be in the place where that noise is coming from?"

Sano shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? Kaoru always seems to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Maybe she'll be there, laughing and making jokes about us."

"Sano! Don't be so low! What if Kaoru-dono's in danger right now? Oh please let her be safe." Said Kenshin

"Hey, I'm just trying to help." Mumbled Sano. But he shut up.

"C'mon, we can't stand here all day. It's night-time already and I got a feeling that Kaoru is not in her best mood right now." Said Yahiko.

"Let's go" said Kenshin and he sprinted down the alley.


Kaoru couldn't believe her eyes. She saw 5 large men with 7 half-naked women, as helpless as a cocoon. The men are laughing and the girls could only scream soundlessly as they're stripped down their clothes. Kaoru's head boiled. Without thinking she leapt out of the shadow that had hide her and yelled, "WHAT D'YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING YOU.........." A bunch of very disgusting swear words –so vile that all the men stopped what they're doing and stare at her- rushed from her mouth, like a swarm of bees. The largest men regained his concentration and sarcastically said,

"Hey look guys, we're lucky today, we got another girl to play with. Pity her mouth."

He moved to her and tried to hold her but Kaoru's too fast for him. As quick as lightning, she slams him to the ground. He moaned. "Don't you dare touch me you filthy moron!" Her voice is croaked and her face was full of sweat.

"Wow, that girl's feisty." One of the men licked his lips.

Kaoru looked at them one by one. As their eyes met, the men saw eyes full of anger, loneliness and revenge.

"Listen, all of you." Said Kaoru. "I don't want to fight, I just want to ask you a favour. I want you to release those girls and we'll pretend none of this ever happens, ok?" She looked at the girls meaningfully and they understood (thank goodness). Without the least sound, they took their clothes and disappeared in the shadows.

A man whistled. "Who does she think she is, a super woman?"

Other man joined him. "She's not even the size of a bull."

"Girls these days don't know how to keep their business out of the men's nose."

The last men to join said, "Why don't we teach her a lesson she'll never forget. That seems to be a good idea, isn't it?"

Kaoru smirked. "Before you teach me an 'unforgettable' lesson, why don't you take a look behind you?"

One by one, they turned and stare into an empty space. Their smiles had gone, their eyes become smaller. They're angry. Very angry.

"Where are the girls????!!!!!"

"Where'd they go?"

"You.....scum! You distracted us so they could run away!!!"

"Get her!!!!"

All of the men charged into her, even the one she'd smacked down earlier.

Kaoru get into her position. Let ME teach them a very unforgettable lesson. Besides, this could do me some of my karate practise. How fun.

ONE by one, the men fell down. They are strong and big, but Kaoru's fast and small, which gives her an advantage over these men.

Man, this guys stink at fighting, thought Kaoru as she strike one of them in the 'area'. He squealed and fell down, holding his you-know-what.

Another guy came from behind but she was ready. Speedily, she turned and gave him a delicious punch in the face. Instantly, he stumbled, giving Kaoru time to trip him and punch him in the stomach. That knocked him down well.

2 down, 3 more to go.

The third men tried to seize her. Oooh, this one's dangerous, thought Kaoru, but not as dangerous as my foot. She ducked down, slide behind the man and amazingly perform a kick on his neck, despite the fact that he's about a head and a half taller than her.

This time, both of them came at her at the same time, providing Kaoru with less space to move. But before they could reach her, she was already above ground, on top of them, and side kicked them. They fell at once. None of them are likely to awake any moment.

Kaoru praised herself. You beat all those guys and you still got your good form Kaoru, well done. Wait until Kenshin heard this. He'll be so proud of me.

"Kaoru-dono!!!! WHAT THE HELL ARE U DOING HERE?????!!!!"

Kaoru recognised that voice at one. KENSHIN!!!

"KENSHIN!!!!" she shouted. She ran to him and hugs him, expect him to hug her back. But all she got is a big slap across her face.

"How could you....." he said furiously. "How could you just lest without leaving any messages? You worried me so much, didn't you know? I should have known not to trust you. You're a failure."

Kaoru stared at him, awed. What's this?

"And now you just tried to hug me and expect me to hug you back. Well, I'm not going to, Kamiya. I'm very disappointed in you." Taking a deep breath, he said a word that will haunt Kaoru for days. "Daikirai (I hate you)" and left.

Kaoru couldn't say anything. She kneeled down, tears streaming sown her face like rain that has not fall for a long time. Sano and Yahiko look at each other guiltily. They tried to pull her but she stuck to the ground like glue, hands over her face.

"Kaoru....." said Yahiko

"Leave me alone."

"I'm really really sorry about....." Said Sano.

"Just leave me alone ok????" yelled Kaoru.

And they left, leaving Kaoru with the dark, alone with her thoughts, alone with her extreme sadness, alone without anybody to help her. It's over.


Ps: wait for the next chapter!
