Okay enough of that stuff, let's get on with the story, shall we?
Chapter Nine
It was the next morning when there was a loud knock at the door of the Kamiya/Makimachi apartment. Sanosuke answered the door. "Yes?"
A man dressed as a police officer stood in front of him. He had cold amber eyes with dark brown hair. He had white gloves, and they were holding a briefcase. "I'd like to see Kaoru Kamiya," the man said with no emotion what so ever.
Sanosuke thought up an image in his head. Kaoru was still sleeping with Kenshin on the porch in the back. He smiled weakly, "Well. . . She's busy right now so I'm afraid you can't see her. . . come back another time. . ." he started to close the door.
The man held the door open. "I need to see Kaoru Kamiya. It concerns her parents, and I'm afraid a little man like you wouldn't be too interested in it."
Sanosuke frowned, "Well if you'd like to know, I happen to be Kaoru's boyfriend!"
"All right then. Where is she?"
"In. . . the bathroom!"
"It takes that long to use the restroom?"
"Well you know girls. . . they take forever doing whatever messy business they're doing. . ."
"Move out of the way, moron. I can tell you're lying."
Sanosuke pushed the man away from the door, but the man seemed to be unmovable. "Hey, who are you calling a moron, moron?" he yelled.
"Ah. It seems your patience is very low."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"Sorry, but a low level creature like you could never understand or fully admit to themselves what they really are. Morons."
Sanosuke was REALLY getting ticked. "Why I oughta. . ." he made his hands into fists.
"Now are we going to argue all day, or am I going to see Kamiya?"
"You can't see her right now, she's busy doing something!"
"Now that I can believe. Something. But what is that something, eh."
Misao ran outside and stood right in front of the man. "What's going on? Why the heck is a police officer in front of our apartment!"
The man raised an eyebrow, very slightly. "And you are. . ."
Misao huffed, "Makimachi Misao NEVER gives out her name to villains!"
The man's mouth twitched, but was still unemotional. "I see. But I am no villain. I'm a police officer."
Misao frowned, "Well you are sure ACTING like one!"
The man glared at them both with his wolf like yes, "My name is Hajime Saitoh, head of the police."
Misao didn't seem too impressed, but Sanosuke's eyes widened. He grinned. "Well then, FINE! Come this way, if you REALLY wanna see Jou-chan. . ." he led Saitoh through the apartment and to the back porch.
Saitoh's eyebrow raised higher this time. "Eh. . ." he whispered.
Kaoru was still asleep in Kenshin's lap. Saitoh looked Kenshin over, good and hard. 'Blood red hair. . . put in a pony-tail. . . I recognize that face. . . he couldn't be anybody else. . .Battousai, I've found you again after ten long years. . .'
Sanosuke knocked on Kenshin's head. "Oi! Kenshin!"
Kenshin woke with a start. "Oro?" he saw Sanosuke giving him a 'you're-in-trouble' look, and then he saw Kaoru still asleep in his arms. He looked up to see a man dressed in a police outfit. 'I recognize that face. . . I just don't know who he is. . . where have we met before. . .'
"I'm here to speak with Kamiya," Saitoh said, stiffly.
Kenshin nodded, and, blushing, he gently shook Kaoru's shoulder. "Kaoru-Kaoru wake up."
Kaoru opened her eyes, and realized she was still in Kenshin's lap. She jumped right off of him and in the process accidentally smacked Sanosuke. . . at least that's I hope it was. An accident.
"Oh sorry Sano. . . didn't see you there. . ." she said. She didn't look at Kenshin, since she was MUCH too embarrassed. "Uhhh. . . Hello?" she asked Saitoh.
Saitoh nodded his cap. "Hajime Saitoh, Kamiya, nice to meet you. I have some news on your parent's death. May we talk inside?"
Kaoru bit her lip, and nodded, "Yes! Yes come in! Thank you for coming!" she led Saitoh to the living room. She sat down at the couch, and so did Sanosuke and Kenshin. Misao stood behind the couch while Saitoh sat at the chair in front of it.
"Must I have such an audience?" he asked.
Of course Misao needed to know, Sanosuke just wanted to, and Kenshin was determined to find out. Saitoh nodded, "Very well. We've researched on the night of your parent's death. The meeting. . . was quite simple. Your father worked with a group of people who were defending your town during the Bakamatsu when you were twelve years old, correct?"
Kaoru nodded.
"The meeting was urgent because an attack was coming from a group led by a man named Katsura on your town. Your father went, of course, and I have to believe that your mother was worried, so she went too, correct?"
Kaoru nodded again.
Saitoh continued, "Your father used a bokken, not a katana, which I find simply careless when you're a soldier. You have a better chance of dieing."
Kaoru frowned.
Saitoh interrupted her before she could even argue with him. "The meeting was interrupted by an attack. Katsura is an evil man. He sent the best of his group to that tent your parents were in with twenty other people. A fight broke out. I would imagine that your father protected your mother valiantly. They ran outside, and somebody followed them away from everybody else. This is where I come in. I was over in the distant, watching the fight, and I recognized the person that followed your parents."
Kenshin's eyes narrowed.
(This doesn't sound good to me,) Battousai grumbled.
Rurouni nodded.
Saitoh kept going, "The man fought your father with a katana, and killed him. He was so fast, so furious, that your father had no chance. The only other thing I saw before my group was attacked, was the man walking away from your mother."
Kaoru held in the tears that stung her eyes. "And. . . who was this man?" she asked. 'If it was Enishi. . . I'll kill him.'
Saitoh noticed her killing glare, and said, "It couldn't have been Yukishiro."
Kaoru frowned, "Why not?"
"Because Yukishiro was only thirteen. He couldn't have been that strong to kill a full grown adult with amazing strength and a bokken, but he might have been able to take down your mother, since she had no weapon, but I doubt he was even there," Saitoh told her.
Kaoru gasped. "Then who killed them?" she demanded.
Saitoh's eyes narrowed as he said the name, "Hitokiri Battousai."
((AN: I would have stopped there, but I decided you would kill me with such a cliffhanger, so I'll continue ^_~ ))
Kenshin's eyes widened with fear as he whispered, ". . .Hitokiri . . . . Battousai. . .?"
`~`~`~`~FLASH BACK~`~`~`~`
Amber eyes darted across the dark night. 'Now where did they go?' his mind screamed. He saw two people darting away. "Gotcha," he whispered.
He ran after them with god-like-speed. He watched as the man turned around and shielded his wife with his body.
"Come no closer you beast!" the man shouted. He held up his bokken.
Amber eyes danced with laughter. He laughed, but then suddenly stopped and barked, "Foolish man! I am here to create a new era for Japan! And I am not a beast!" he ran forward to the man, katana in hand, ready to taste blood once more.
With amazing ability, he slashed several times through the man holding the bokken. The woman screamed out in horror, deafening his ears. He wiped the blood from his katana, and put it back in its sheath.
The woman looked at him with complete horror, her train of thoughts probably roaming around, 'He's going to kill me. . .', or so the man guessed. He smirked, "Don't worry, I don't kill women." He turned around and walked away, tuning out the sounds of the woman's sobs.
Out of the corner of his eye, he saw another man walking towards the woman, katana in hand. He thought maybe the man was related to the woman, but he couldn't know for sure. 'Hn. Better leave it be.' He began to walk again, until his ears were practically shattered with the sound of the woman screaming in pain, and then coming to a sudden stop.
He wiped around quickly to see that the man had killed the woman with his katana. His eyes widened. He hadn't seen such madness in all his life. The other man had killed the woman with such vigor, such fury. He could tell the other man didn't know the woman. He looked closer at the man. The other man wasn't a man at all! He was only a little boy! New at the ways of killing!
The boy had dark hair, wide eyes, and little circled glasses. The amber eyes narrowed. The boy looked only two years younger then himself, or three. The amber eyes closed. Besides, he himself was only fifteen years old. . .
`~`~`~`~END FLASH BACK~`~`~`~`
Everybody was now looking at Kenshin. Kaoru frowned, "What's wrong Kenshin? You're acting all weird. . ."
Kenshin's eyes were amber to the core. He glared daggers at an invisible person.
"Kenshin. . .? What is it?"
Kenshin said the name with the most disgust Kaoru had ever heard in her entire life, "Enishi. . ."
