Houndingwolf : Hey, you know what? I really have NO idea where Kenshin was and where Saitoh was. . . but I DO know that Saitoh was with the people who wore the green gi's with the weird white stripes, and last time I watched RK was with Kenshin battling with people with those clothes. Maybe I got the names mixed up. . . If I did, would somebody inform me? Oh well, otherwise, just forget that kinda stuff. It's MY fic. ^_^; Thank you for reviewing!

Chapter Twelve
Kaoru's eyes fluttered open. 'Ew. . . what a bad nightmare. Poor Kenshin was fighting Saitoh and Enishi! Good thing he's here with me. . .' she felt around the futon and her eyes widened. "Kenshin?"
She ran around the apartment in her pajama's. "Kenshin?. . . Kenshin? . . . Kenshin where are you?" she checked in Misao's room, but he wasn't there. She checked in Sano's room, but even Sano wasn't there! "Sanosuke? Can anybody hear me?" Kaoru had a horrible feeling in the pit of her stomach that something was just not right.
Misao woke up. "What's all the racket Kaoru-chan?" she asked, sleepily.
Kaoru looked worriedly at her "Kenshin and Sanosuke are missing!"
"Well, they might be out gambling or something. . . doing boy-stuff. . . I don't know. . ."
Kaoru groaned, "But. . . but I had this nightmare that Kenshin was battling Saitoh! And. . .and Saitoh was killing him!"
Misao raised an eyebrow. "But that's just a nightmare, he can't be really battling Saitoh, now can he? Besides! Saitoh is our friend, if not ally!"
Kaoru looked around the room again. "I don't know. Something about Saitoh gave me the chills. . ." She turned back to Misao. "I need to go find them!"
Misao frowned at her, "Then I'm coming with you!"
Kaoru smiled weakly. "Thanks Misao-chan. . ." they both got ready to go outside. They nodded at each other, then walked out the door. They ran over to town, and Kaoru bumped into someone.
"OUCH!!!"
"AHH!!!"
"What the heck were you thinking? Running around like that. . ." Said a male voice.
Kaoru gasped. 'I know that voice. . .' "Sanosuke?" she asked.
Sano walked into the light of a street lamp. "Jou-chan? Weasel? What are you two doing out this late at night?"-there was a frown from Misao at the sound of her nickname, 'weasel'.
Kaoru frowned, "We're looking for Kenshin!"
Sano scratched the back of his head. "Oh. I was uhh. . . meeting with an old friend. . ." he couldn't tell them he was gambling. . .
Misao frowned at him, "You were gambling Sanosuke, admit it!"
Sanosuke sighed, "Alright. . . alright. . . I was gambling. . ." then he looked up. "Kenshin's missing?"
The girl nodded.
Sanosuke scratched the back of his head again. "I have no idea where he is. . ."
The girls sighed.
"But we might as well start looking!" he smiled.
The girls smiled back. Misao punched the air. "Yah!!! We'll find him!"
Kaoru frowned over at her, "Let's go. Sanosuke, you check around town, Misao, you keep checking at the apartment in case he comes back, and I'll go check the park."
The other two nodded, and ran off in search of Kenshin. Kaoru took a deep breath, then ran over to the park. "Kenshin? . . . Kenshin? Hey Kenshin where are you? Kenshin?" she called.
She sighed, and put her hands on her knees. 'I'll never find him in this woods!' her mind screamed. But she knew she had to keep going. She ran deeper and deeper into the woods. "KENSHIN!!!" she screamed. 'He's probably not in here. . .' she thought, sadly.
It was then that she heard swords clashing together.
~*~
Kenshin breathed heavily. 'He's fast. . .' he thought.
Saitoh tucked his chin into his chest, his sword out and ready to taste blood, ready to have a second round with Kenshin.
The fight had already begun, but it hadn't gotten anywhere but worse for Kenshin. Kenshin sighed, and stood back up. He had to win this fight.
Rurouni was crying in a corner, while Battousai was punching at a punching-bag, amber eyes furious. (He's too fast for my money!) He shouted.
Enishi watched from five feet away. He smiled and snickered.
Kenshin pointed his katana at Saitoh's heart and glared at him. "I don't remember much from being Hitokiri Battousai. I don't know why, but I do know I must defeat you tonight no matter what!"
They charged once more, Saitoh with his usual sword pointing straight with his hand on it, Kenshin ready to block, and then strike. Saitoh moved so quickly that Kenshin could barely see him.
Kenshin's eyes widened as he realized he could not dodge this attack all the way. He moved to the left, just in time before he could have been cut in half. Instead, Saitoh's sword cut into his right side, just barely.
Kenshin turned around to glare at Saitoh, but then he saw the weird look Saitoh was giving him. Kenshin looked down to his right side, and his eyes widened. No blood came out. All you could see was some kind of metal, and circuits, with electricity flying through them. Kenshin's cut was only two inches long, but you could still see his robotic parts because of Kenshin's torn clothing.
Saitoh looked from Kenshin's face to his cut, then back again. "Are you. . . are you human?" he asked, in a voice that was way out of character for him. He had never seen anything like this before.
Enishi's mouth twitched. 'There's something you don't see everyday. . .'
Kenshin gulped. ". . . I don't know. I honestly don't know. . ."
Saitoh frowned, "Well, no matter what you are, I will defeat you!" he charged again, and Kenshin was starting to get really tired.
~*~
Kaoru ran to the sound of the swords clashing together. She sneaked behind a bush to see a clearing. In the clearing, Kenshin and Saitoh were in a death-match, and Enishi was standing five feet behind them, grinning.
Kaoru noticed a small cut on Kenshin's right side, and saw sparks flowing through it. 'He is a robot after all. . .' she thought, but it still looked very weird. He looked so human!
Kaoru watched them, trying to kill each other, and she remembered her dream. 'It's just like my dream!' she thought. She saw Kenshin's amber eyes. 'Now I really want to know Hiko Seijiro more. . .' she thought sadly.
'This can't go on,' she thought about it some more. 'They're fighting so hard! They'll kill each other! Kenshin will kill a human being, and Saitoh will kill a robot! I have to stop this. . .' she hated to watch them fight, and she couldn't stand it anymore.
"STOP!!!"
The three men turned to see Kaoru. Kenshin's eyes widened the most.
"Kaoru! What are you doing here?" he asked.
Kaoru let a tear roll down her face. "Stop your fighting, please! The Bakamatsu is long over! There is no need to fight anymore!"
Saitoh grunted. "And how are you going to stop us?"
~*~
Misao ran all the way around the apartment, but she still couldn't find Kenshin. "HIMURA??? HIMURA????" she screamed. She sighed, and decided to find Kaoru. She headed for the park.
Misao heard Kaoru's scream, "STOP!!!" and she decided that was where they were. She ran to the clearing, and saw everything. She glared, angrily at Saitoh, and pulled out the kunai from her gi. "I'll stop you!" she shouted.
Everybody turned to her.
Enishi snorted, "This is definitely getting weird. . ." he grumbled.
Saitoh smirked at the headstrong girl. "Take your best shot. I'll stand right here." He dared her.
Misao nodded, and threw her kunai at Saitoh. Each one missed him by a centimeter, except one. One of the kunai sliced through the top of his shoulder.
Saitoh smiled. "You're good, but not quite good enough. That kunai should have been aimed at my heart, but it wasn't. That shows your weakness. You didn't want to hurt me."
Misao hissed at him like a cat.
Saitoh nodded, and ignored the small seeps of blood coming from his shoulder. "Very well, we'll leave. Won't we, Yukishiro?"
Enishi snapped out of his daze. "Oh yes." He looked at Kenshin. "We'll have to finish this battle some other time, Hitokiri Battousai." He had Saitoh vanished into the night.
Misao sighed. "Well, I better go find Sanosuke. Meet you two at the apartment." She didn't even notice was Enishi had called Kenshin, or the cut on his side since he was covering it with his hand. She walked away from the woods.
Misao might have missed Kenshin's nickname, but Kaoru sure didn't. "Hito. . .kiri. . . Battousai?" she asked.
Kenshin looked at the ground at his feet.
Kaoru's mind had to process this through. 'Hitokiri Battousai is the man who killed my parents. . . . Enishi just called Kenshin that. . . but how. . .how. . .' she looked up at Kenshin, who had a guilty look on his face. "Y-You were the one who killed my parents?"
