I don't write the story, my hands do.
I know it sounds weird, but it's true.
Anyways, here's your chappie!
------------------------
Kaoru was more than mad, she was PISSED.
She tackled the battosai, pinning him to the floor with her knees as she hit him over the head with the gun, then switched to the pole conveniently placed beside the bed.
(Guess who placed it there )
He yelped and squirmed and winced, then she was done.
She got up off of him and grabbed yahiko's handcuffs and handcuffed him to the edge of the bed, unconsious.
She stood over him, glaring down at him.
Suddenly she caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror.
She was all but naked!
Her breasts were bound, only because of her wounds, and she was wearing a hakama, that was it.
She blushed a deep crimson and grabbed the long coat Sanouske threw at her.
Then she turned on him, her smile a little too sweet.
"Oh, Sano?" She stalked toward him.
He ducked into a corner and covered his head.
Smart man.
"Yahiko, cuff him to the other side of the bed, i don't want these two getting any ideals." She told her apprentice.
"I'm sorry, i can't do that." He said, pulling the other gun out on her.
"What are you doing, runt? I said.."
"I heard what you said, wench. You see, the battosai, here, knew that someone was supposed to assasinate you. He just didn't know who. Enishi and Jin-ei were just bonuses.
"Since you won't be alive long enough to blab, I'll tell you what you got yourself into.
Enishi was our drug fore-runner. He was placed near you to keep tabs. I really liked you, you know? Jin-ei was a fluke, a verry lucky fluke, but a fluke none the less.
Orinami Okusawa is the one that gave the order for you to die. He said to make it look like an assasination or an accident.
Then the battosai had to jump in. It seems he had become infatuated with you when he was placed on an assignment to watch you. Then he went AWOL.
So, I guess it means that i will be getting rewarded verry greatly. My real name is Okushino Miojin. My twin was supposed to be assigned to you, but i took care of him and switched the records.
'Now, it's time to take care of you." He said, releasing the safety catch on the automatic.
She tackled him, sending the gun skidding across the room toward the unconsious Sanouske.
She dimly felt him punch her in the stomach, then in the face.
She kneed him in the balls, headbutting him at the same time.
She scrabled for the gun, and was grabbed from behind.
he wrapped his hands around her throat and began pounding her head into the floor.
She watched him and reached for the gun, the pain and pressure in her head increasing with each impact.
Her fingers brushed the hilt of the .22. He realized what she was doing and kicked it away.
She kicked him in the head, knocking him over her.
She caught his legs as he scrambled for the gun.
He kicked her in the face and she tasted blood.
She held tightly to his legs and crawled up his body, grabbing for the arm that reached for the gun.
He suddenly turned and a sharp pain went through her side.
The blood flowed freely as she fought with him still.
THis was her fight.
This time she would win.
"Die you stupid bitch!" Okushino said, pointing the newly acquired gun at her head.
"Never!" She said as the bullet went through her shoulder.
She grabbed the gun and forced it toward him, He pulled the trigger and stared up at her in pain and horror.
He had killed himself.
She stood up and un-cuffed Kenshin before she collapsed beside the bed.
She crawled toward the closet and picked up the camera.
She took out the tiny cartridge and lined it in plastic before she pushed it below her bandages.
Kenshin was waking up, now, and he came warily toward her.
She was leaning against the wall, her breath coming in short pants.
"You know, if i keep getting hurt like this, i'll be dead before i reach twenty five." She said, laughing painfully.
He helped her to her feet and over to the bed.
------------
It'll be about two chapters and an epilogue.
The story's about over.
I know how i'm ending it! Yayness!
THis is the dark, embrace it, live it. -me.
