Sheath: Chapter 3

I'm sorry I haven't updated in a long time but most of you authors know how that goes. Whatever straying from the subject here's the brand new chapter.

Kaoru looked around at the four left at charged at the first on with kick to the stomach and an uppercut and he was out. 'Three more to go' thought Kaoru.

Meanwhile in the dark there was a man perched in a tree observing the whole scene with the woman the women and the thieves wondering whether he was to help her or not. 'I shall wait and see. She is doing well on her own' thought battousai. 'She is quite beautiful' admiring the brave young woman before him, also wondering why he was think of this young woman who could be no older than 18.

But it wasn't so much of an age differences him being 21. "I remember when I had last enjoyed a woman's company it was that bitch Tomoe betraying me for that bastard Akira I taught them a lesson though" thought battousai as he rubbed scarred cheek. Then he dispersed the thought ad turned back to the fight. Then he saw something glimmer in the moonlight from one of the men.

"Damn" cursed Kaoru as she knocked out the third man and the fourth man with a combo of a kick and punch. Then out o no where came the fifth and final with a dagger which he held her throat as he began to ravish her. Kaoru kicked against but that only made him angrier as he pressed it into her flesh causing her to bleed and she still as she felt the warm blood trickle down her neck from the wound. "I can't give up she thought but she felt helpless as he started to dig into kimono. She snapped as she bit his hand and turned to upper cut him. That's when his hand raised and came down her with the dagger.

Battousai saw this and decided that this was his time to intervene as he unsheathed his sakabato and knocking the man out cold as he was sprawled over the young woman. He held out his hand to her.

"Thanks" Said kaoru as she stared at her rescuer. He was about 5'8 and yet he looked quite small. As though he was underfed and fragile yet he contained a great strength within himself. She stared at his amber/golden eyes and his blood red hair that caressed his face he was hansome, deadly so.

"Women shouldn't walk alone at night. They could get hurt especially in these times" said battousai as he looked down upon the woman he saved as he pulled heup from the floor. 'I was right she is young' as he gazed into her very deep dark ocean blue eyes and watched as her midnight tressses swayed with every movement she made. 'Damn she's beautiful' as he sucked in a breath at the sight her disheveled state, her kimono astray and her exposed her creamy pale legs.

Kaoru tried to adjust her kimono so that her skin was not being shown to the the man staring at her. After she finished she held out her hand this stranger and said "Hello. I'm Kamiya Kaoru. What is yours?".

"My name is Himura Kenshin."
