Disclaimer: Don't you guys get sick of reading this over and over? I hate writing it too. Anyway, Rurouni Kenshin is not mine, so don't sue me.

Lady Battousai: Alright guys, most of you probably don't know that my old pen name used to be Lady Battousai456, but it was, and I miss it. I decided to change it back, except for the last few numbers, because it says it's taken. I had to open a whole new account. Wow guys! I was having second thoughts on this chapter! I'm really glad that you all like it! Please keep those reviews coming, otherwise we think we're writing for no one! I'm very happy to say that this fic has already grown on us, and we will continue. We have most of the chapters kinda planned, so that's good! Thanks again guys!

Vampire Demom666: Yeah, I'm pretty glad that we're getting more reviews too. Keep them coming.

Rinoa-Heartilly-666: I'm really glad that you think our fic is a well written one. I have read countless vampire stories, not only on this site, but books as well, and I finally decided to do one myself. I hope you continue reading!

Hentaikoneko: Thank you very much for your encouraging words. Lol, we're going to try to update every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Hopefully, a regular schedule will draw in more reviewers.

Goddess/Priestest Winter: Don't worry. We will never leave you guys hanging for like a month, without a note in advance. We'll update hopefully, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. Summon a Vampire huh? Maybe that's not a bad thing...lol. I'm happy that our fic deserves 7 Hershey bars, and...9 sneakers? Lol, thanks again!

Mika: Yes, I think we all want a Kenshin. Lol, ya. I decided (Vampire Demon666 refused to contribute any romantic aspects to the fic. Go figure) to make her sort of entranced by his appearance, so she couldn't really help it. Like a spell, but he didn't cause it. I'll try to clear it up in the chapter if it still is kinda confusing.

DanGlove: Thanks. We tried to describe the vampires the best we could. Really glad you like it!

Air: Yes, we are going to continue with this. I know that there might be more people, who we really wish would review...hint hint, lol, and threatening to leave it helped too! Lol, I'm just kidding. Yeah, it's fun writing a fic with a partner. I'm good at writing romantic type of stuff, and he' really good with angst. Thanks for taking the time to review.

Bradybunch4529: Yes, poor Kenshin. He's not very good with people, which Kaoru is going to try to change, and I'll definitely put his thoughts on the sudden kiss, as well as Kaoru's.

Jk: Thank you for your review. We'll update as much as possible!

Mironicka: Thanks. It makes me so happy to see people enjoying our fic! It's my best one! Hope you stick with it!

Annabella5: I know that I need more chapters, and I'm sorry that it took so long since my last update, but my computer died. You'll be happy to know that to make up for it, I'll try to post 1 or 2 more chapters to go along with this one. It might be tomorrow though that I get them out!

Reignashii: Thank you very much for taking the time to review and I'm glad that you like it.

cHrRyBlSsm:You reviewed just in time. I was gonna post, then I read your review. Lol, thanks for reading my fic and I'm really glad you liked it. Yeah, I know that I change my name a lot, but I think I'm sticking with this one...at least longer than the other times. Hehe. Anyway, I really hope I don't let you down. That would be sad, so I'm trying my best! Hope to see you stick around!

Okay, now, on with the fic!

Kaoru's legs moved as fast as she could make them go, but no matter how fast she ran, she couldn't catch up to Kenshin. She knew she had seen him go this way, but with his speed, he was probably long gone from there now.

"Kenshin," she tried shouting his name, even though she knew he wouldn't come. But why would he? She had done something that she should have known was going to scare him. He wasn't used to contact with other people. Why was she so stupid?

"Dammit!"

She gasped. She never cussed. Not even to herself. Well, maybe sometimes in her head, but that was it. Great, now Kenshin had her cussing. That was definitely going to have to stop.

"Kenshin! Please come back! I didn't realize that you would react like that! I promise it won't happen again!"

It was no use, she knew that now he wouldn't trust her again any time soon.

"Shit! Oops."

She had to stop to catch her breath, and when she stopped to think she realized what she had just done, and the tears began to flow. She sat down on a bench in the park.

"Kenshin, I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry," she whispered.

She didn't know that Kenshin was watching her from a large nearby tree. Kaoru slowly made her way back home. If Kenshin ever forgave her, he'd have to come to her. At least it was Friday, and she could go home and go straight to bed. That's what she needed; some rest. Then she could figure things out tomorrow.

Kenshin walked to Sou's house and rang the doorbell. Nobody was home.

"Fuck. He better ger home soon. It's already 4:00 AM."

Just as he was done, Sou's car pulled up in the driveway, and he climbed out.

"Hey Kenshin! Looks like you went out too. How long have you been waiting here?"

"Just got here."

"Oh good. You tired?"

"Uh, no, why?"

"Just curious. You look worn out."

"No."

"Okay, okay, whatever."

He shut car door, locked it, and walked up the steps of the huge house.

Kenshin and Sou walked in.

"Are any pizza places open this late," Sou asked.

"There's that one 24 hour pizza place, but their pizza tastes like shit."

"Oh yeah. I don't feel like eatin' shit tonight. How about you Kenshin?"

"No, not really."

"Sou took Kenshin's spot on the couch while he went to go clean and flipped through the channels. Nothing was on this early in the morning, and whatever was on was boring and stupid. He finally decided to just turn it off, and join Kenshin in the kitchen.

"Hey Kenshin."

"What?"

"Can't I just say hi?"

"No, what do you want?"

"I just came to keep you company while you cleaned."

"Nothing good on TV?"

"No."

"Thought so. So, while you're here, you could at least unload the dishwasher right?"

Sou sighed. He didn't have any excuses for this one. He walked over to the tiny dishwasher and began unloading what few dishes could fit in the dinky little washer.

"Why thank you Sou."

"Haha Kenshin, very funny."

Kenshin finished his cleaning and Soujiro was purposely putting off the painful task of dishwasher duty.

"Kenshin why don't we watch a movie?"

"Of course. But then, you have to still unload the rest, and then reload all the new dirty dishes."

"Aww, Kenshin, come on."

But Kenshin was already heading over to the couch to try to find something good on TV. As always, there was nothing. He was channel surfing as Sou came in, pouting and glaring at him. As soon as he sat down, the phone rang.

"I'll get it Sou, you should rest your poor sore hands."

"Shut-"

"Hello?"

"Ken! You again! Is Sou ever there?"

"Yes, he's here," he answered trying to not say anything about the name she chose to call him. "He's pouting."

"Oh, I hope I didn't disturb anything," she paused, seeming to think about calling back. "Put him on for me please Kenny."

"Sou. Get your ass of the couch. Megumi wants to talk to you."

"What's that bitch want," he muttered.

"I heard that," came a screech from the phone.

Kenshin grimaced.

"Good luck Sou."

Soujiro stood up from the couch, and Kenshin handed him the phone.

"Hey Megumi. What's new?"

"Quit acting smooth. I'm not forgiving you yet. Anyway, I have important news concerning a vampire hunter in your area."

"What? Are you kidding me?"

"No, he lives across town I think. I don't know his name."

"What should we do?"

Kenshin was laying on the couch, watching Soujiro every move and facial expression, so maybe he could get a clue as to what they were discussing.

"Well, I think you should either leave that house now, or...kill him. You know that's the only other option."

Soujiro sighed. He knew. He knew all to well, but it was true. If the hunter thinks he is ridding the world of dangerous beings, then the vampire world also needs to exterminate those who pose a threat to their existence. It's just the way of life. Even if a vampire did want death, it wouldn't be by a vampire hunter. It's the most disgraceful death a vampire could have.

"Sou? Are you still there?"

"Yes Megumi. So far, this hunter, hasn't done anything to draw our attention. I doubt that he even knows we're here. Until he makes his move, I think we should leave it alone."

At the word 'hunter', Kenshin became really interested. He got up and grabbed another phone.

"Soujiro! Do you want to endanger the lives of all the vampires living here? You know that hunters aren't to be taken lightly. Do you think that if he knew about us, he'd let us live until we did something to him?"

"Well...no, not really, but that's not-"

"Not what? Not important? Not the point? It is the point! We have the chance to rid the vampire community of someone that wants to kill us."

"Megumi, we don't even know who he is!" Soujiro was now also shouting.

"It's not that hard to find one."

"It could be if he knew we were looking for him."

"But he doesn't know that we're here! Soujiro, I did research, this guy has killed dozens of vampires so far. He will not stop once he's found you. Once he knows who are, he'll search, and search, until he kills you. This is serious."

"Megumi, we've been hunted before. You know that. It wasn't that hard to avoid him, and eventually, lose him. We can do it again."

Megumi sighed. Soujiro was one of the few that could keep up with her in an argument. Kenshin could if he wanted to, but he usually didn't talk to people.

"Whatever Soujiro. We're not getting anywhere tonight. I'll call you again, probably tomorrow."

"Alright. Bye."

Sou heard a click and he hung up. Kenshin put the phone down too and sat back down.

"Great. That's all we need. How long has it been since we've actually been hunted," Kenshin said

"You were listening?"

"The good thing is, this hunter doesn't actually know that we're here, but this is still a problem."

"You were listening to our conversation?"

"I think we should do what Megumi said, and just get rid of him. But then again, we don't know who he is. That's a problem. We could...we could set a trap or something, like, I don't know. Or we could just search for clues. But in a city this big that's- "

"Kenshin!"

"What?!"

"Shut up for a second," Soujiro said to his friend. "I think we should wait."

"So that he can have the first move? I don't think so Sou. We need to act now."

"He might not even know we are here!"

"You seriously need to find a new argument. That's getting old. I don't care if he doesn't know about us...yet. He could find out, or, he could be faking it. He might be waiting for the perfect moment to come after us."

It was Soujiro's turn to sigh. Kenshin could always beat him in debating when he wanted to. Even Megumi hated arguing with him.

"Let's just stop talking about it."

"Fine with me."

Soujiro sighed and stalked off to the kitchen to finish cleaning.

Kaoru rolled over, but immediately regretted it as the sunlight streaming through her window made her eyes hurt. She rolled over again and opened her eyes. She looked around her room, thinking about what she would do today. Then she remembered what happened last night. Kenshin.

She glanced at her alarm clock. It was 9:37. She groaned and wanted to go back to sleep, when the phone rang. She jumped. Who was calling her already?

"Hello?" She tried to sound as awake as possible.

"Kaoru. How are things at the house?"

"Dad!"

"Your's truly."

"Things are so boring without you. When are you coming home?"

"Well, I was supposed to come home today, but my flight was delayed. Really bad weather in Chicago."

"Oh. I really miss you."

"Me too. When I come back, we'll spend some time together."

"I can't wait."

"Me neither. Oh, I gotta go. The other people in line for this phone are getting annoyed."

"Okay, bye Dad."

"Bye Kaoru."

He hung up, and she forgot about being sad. Her dad was coming home. She picked up the phone again, and dialed Misao's number.

"Hello," Misao answered.

"Hey Misao, it's Kaoru. What are you doing today?"

"Absolutely nothing."

"Good. Let's go see a movie."

"Okay, then we can rent one for tonight! It'll be movie day! Can we invite Aoshi?"

Kaoru laughed.

"Go ahead and call him. I'll call Sano too. I need to talk to him about something anyway."

"Okay. Oh, by the way, how are things with you and Kenshin?"

"Oh, well, I haven't really seen him," she lied.

"Okay, well. I'll see you later. We'll pick you up at 1:00."

"Okay, bye Misao."

"Bye."

Kaoru hung up, and picked it up again. She dialed Sano's number. He didn't pick up, so she decided to leave a message.

"Sano, I know you're sleeping. I need to talk to you." She waited a couple seconds. "SANO! WAKE UP! COME ON ROOSTER HEAD!"

She heard a click, and knew someone had picked up the receiver. Then there was a thud, and some really loud swearing.

"Shit! You God damn cord!"

"Sano?"

"I'll show you to trip me!"

"SANO!"

"Huh? Hello?"

"Sano, it's me Kaoru. Are you still half asleep? "

"I'm awake. What do you need?"

"Don't tell anyone."

"Tell what?"

"Last night, Kenshin followed me home, so I invited him in, because it was starting to rain."

Sano gasped.

"Did you two do it?"

"Sano! You know me better than that!"

"Sorry Kaoru. So what happened?"

"I found out that he's a vampire. Fangs and all."

"That's bad Kaoru. You should stay away from him."

"I know, but, I think I like him."

"But your dad. If he finds out."

"I know, that's the bad part. My dad's coming home tomorrow."

"I bet your happy about that."

"Yeah I am. Oh! I almost forgot. We're going to see a movie later today, and then we're gonna rent one."

"Who is?"

"Aoshi, Misao, me, and you if you want to come."

"Okay, what time?"

"Misao said that they'll pick us up at 1:00."

"Okay, I'll see you then. I gotta pee."

"Gross Sano, but ok. Bye."

Once Kaoru hung up she went to her closet to pick out something to wear, but as she was looking at her clothes, her mind drifted to Kenshin. Horrible images floated into her mind with her father killing him. Did Kenshin know he was a hunter? Probably not, otherwise, he's probably kill her and her dad. That thought scared her even more. She knew Kenshin was perfectly capable of killing her and her dad at any given time. And most likely, he'd feel no regret. After all, he had said he was an assassin in Japan during the war. She shook her head, trying to clear her mind, and picked out jeans with a purple long sleeved, v-neck top. Then she went downstairs to make breakfast.

Kenshin grabbed his keys and walked outside to see that it was really cold. Well, to a human. He wasn't cold, because he had just fed, and was at full strength. He went back inside to grab a leather coat, and decided that it would look better if he wore his black helmet. He took it and went back outside. Soujiro was asleep on the couch. It was already 1:15 PM. Kenshin had gone to sleep much earlier so he was fully rested, while Soujiro stayed up eating ice cream. Now he was burned out, and would probably need the rest of today to "recharge". That was fine with Kenshin. He was used to being alone.

Once outside, he put on his helmet, and tucked his long hair inside his helmet, so people didn't mistake him for a woman. It had happened before. He was small enough to look like woman from a distance. There was nothing he hated more than being called a woman. He got on his bike and stuck the keys in. He turned the keys, and it rumbled to life. He revved his engine, and sped out of the driveway. He just wanted to ride it. He wasn't sure where he was going. He was just getting into his zone, w hen he had to stop at a stoplight.

"Shit," he cursed through his helmet. "Stupid fucking stoplights."

Behind him, he heard a car that wa playing very loud rap music. Rap, was not his favorite, and he rolled his eyes. The car pulled up next to him, and he looked at the people inside.

'Fuck! It's Kaoru and her friends.' Kenshin panicked, but then realized that he had a helmet on, and they couldn't see his face.

The one with the long hair looked at him through the window, and her eyes light up. Did she recognize him somehow. She leaned forward to the front seat and said something toKaoru. Then Kaoru looked at him.

'Shit shit shit!,' he thought.

But Kaoru only smiled and said something back to Misao. The driver, who strangely resembled a rooster, rolled down the window.

"Hey. You wanna race?"

Kenshin only shook his head 'no', and looked forward again, begging the light to turn.

"Come on. Ya scared you'll lose?"

'With you driving that piece of shit,' he said to himself. 'I doubt that.'

"Are you a chicken?"

Everyone in the car was now looking at him. He knew that even if he didn't want to race, he was going to. When that light hit green, that guy would obviously try to beat him. He could just ignore him, but that would mean he'd lose.

"Are you gonna race me or not?"

Again, Kenshin, shook his head 'no'.

In the back, Misao shouted, "He's to scared Sano. He knows he'll lose."

Everyone started laughing, and Kenshin got pissed. He couldn't stand people laughing at him. It made him want to strangle them all. He revved his engine really loud, making, everyone in the car, cover their ears. He smirked and Sano looked back at him.

"Can I take that as a 'yes'?"

This time Kenshin nodded his head 'yes', and both drivers faced forward, waiting for the light to turn green. It didn't take long, and Sano floored it. Just to annoy him, Kenshin waited about 5 seconds, and then went after him. In a short amount of time, he had caught up to the car, slowed down next to it. Everyone inside was laughing, but this time at Sano, who had his brow furrowed in concentration, but his eyes grew wide when he saw Kenshin right next to him. He yelled out the window.

"That's not fair! You must have started early!"

"Sano," Misao said between fits of laughing, "he gave you a head start!"

"What?!"

Kenshin smirked again, and sped up, only to cut in front of him Sano to cut him off. Sano hit the brakes, and watched him drive off, as fast as he could.

"Dammit! He cut me off!"

"You deserved it! He didn't want to race you." Kaoru joined Misao at laughing at him.

"Okay, okay, enough. There's a stoplight coming up ahead. It might have got him. If it did, I'll get him back."

"And if he passed it," Kaoru questioned.

"I don't know. What do you suggest I do?"

"You shouldn't do anything. He'll just beat your ass again," Misao answered for him happily.

"I can beat that piece of crap."

"Sano, that was a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. That wasn't even it's top speed," Aoshi spoke for the first time while they were in the car.

"What? How did you know that Aoshi," Kaoru asked.

"My dad was a big motorcycle person, but even he wasn't good enough for one of those. They are really fast and require a lot of control."

"Oh, I never knew that," Misao cut in, happy to be learning new stuff about her Aoshi.

"Oh! Look! He's at the stoplight!"

Everyone looked, and sure enough, there he was. Kaoru had always loved motorcycles, and she wished she could ride one.

"What are you going to do Sano," Misao asked.

"I'm gonna beat him."

"Yeah right,"Aoshi argued.

"You saw how fast he went last time, and supposedly, that's not his top speed," Kaoru added. "Why don't you just leave it alone?"

Sano didn't answer, because he had pulled up, alongside the motorcycle.

"Your going down punk!"

The light turned green, and once again, Sano floored it, but this time, Kenshin didn't give him a head start. Sano saw him come up behind him, and quickly jerked the car to the side, getting in Kenshin's lane.

"Whoa! Sano! Stop," Misao shouted.

Kenshin simply switched to the other lane, and passed Sano, but Sano, wasn't going full speed, so he sped up and did the same move that Kenshin had did on him earlier. Kenshin had to slam the brakes so hard, that he almost flipped, but he quickly started going again. In no time, he was next to the car and as he drove by, he flipped him off. This aggravated Sano to no end, and he swerved to try to pin Kenshin against the lane barrier for cars going the other way.

"Holy shit Sano! You're gonna kill him," Misao screamed at him.

"And us! Now stop it," Kaoru yelled equally as loud.

But Sano ignored the two yelling women and watched Kenshin slow down so that he was behind him. Sano slowed down and Kenshin got close behind him, but Kenshin knew what was up. He knew Sano was gonna hit the brakes, trying to make Kenshin crash, so as soon as he saw Sano jerk forward, Kenshin hit his brakes too, but only enough to slow down so that he wouldn't hit Sano, and turn to continue in the other lane.

"God dammit!"

"Sano, please stop! You're gonna get us arrested.

Sano thought that he had Kenshin nervous, while in fact, Kenshin was enjoying the danger. He loved the adrenaline rush. They were coming up on traffic, so they had to slow down, but the battle between the two drivers didn't stop. Kenshin was a little ways ahead of Sano, and Sano sped up so that Kenshin couldn't switch lanes, because there were care all around him now. He was boxed in. Unfortunately, Sano was to busy trying to trap Kenshin, and Kenshin was busy trying to find a way out that neither of them saw the little girl that was on the street ahead.

"Sano! There's a kid there!"

"What? Oh fuck."

Sano hit the brakes, causing the car behind him to ram into his bumper, and the air bags in both cars to pop out. Kaoru and Misao screamed, and Misao latched herself onto Aoshi's arm. Kenshin saw the girl that was about 100ft in front of him, but there was still a car in the way. He couldn't turn, and he didn't want to be responsible for the girls death. A mother on the sidewalk screamed and Kenshin knew there was only one thing he could do. He leaned all the way to the side on his motorcycle, and turned his handlebars, making his bike slip right out from underneath him.

Lady Battousai654: Well guys? How was that? Again, I'm really sorry about making you wait, but this week is my fall break, so I'll start a new chapter right after I post this, and hopefully, it'll be up by tomorrow or the next day! Okay, I have a note about Kenshin's motorcycle. As you may have noticed, Aoshi said it was a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle. It's a really cool, and fast bike. If you go to my bio, I'll have a link put up that's a picture of the kind of bike he has. It's really cool. I didn't want you guys to get the impression that he drives a Harley or something along that line. Eww, I hate those. Please review! It keeps us going so we can update faster!

Vampire Demon666: As you can probably tell, I didn't really have much to do with this chapter. Anyway, maybe I can convince Lady Battousai to let me make the next chapter really depressing!
