CHP 8 Put two and two together…
"You! I am going to kill you!" Kenshin cried as he ran out at Katsgi, with his sword drawn. "No! Wait please! I must inform you…" Katsgi said, while fainting in a heap. "Geez! The damn fool faints before he can give us the information! That bastard!" Sano muttered while picking him up. "Well we might as well bring him in, to wait till he wakes." Megumi reasoned. Sano nodded and dragged him in.
"Who was it?" Shura yelled running outside. "It was the man who killed Karou…" Kenshin said darkly. "Oi! Well why are you taking him inside? Kill him! Like he did to Karou!" Shura said, frantically grasping his arm. "He says he has information for us… We must see what it is." Kenshin said, stepping inside the dojo.
"Well fine, I will make some tea, maybe he will talk faster if he drinks it…" Shura said making her way to the kitchen. * I must find a way to dispose of him before he gives me away! * Shura thought as she mixed something into Katsgi's tea. "Miss Shura he is waking! Why don't you bring that tea into here!" Kenshin yelled from the next room.
"Coming!" Shura ran into the room. "I must tell you…" Katsgi said weakly. "Here have him drink this!" Shura said, practically forcing it down Katsgi's throat. "You! … Well no matter, Karou is alive, well at least I didn't kill her… she's in the woods. She!" Katsgi pointed at Shura before taking his last breath. "Oh my, he's dead!" Megumi gasped. "Dispose of the body Sanosuke! Hurry!" Shura cried.
Kenshin just sat there speechless. * Karou, my Karou is alive! * "Kenshin, are you ok?" Megumi asked. "Of course he isn't! That killer just came in here and lied to us! We saw the blood soaked hair tie!" Shura yelled. "So? Maybe Karou is alive! We have to have some kind of hope!" Sano said. "Hey look!" Megumi said reaching down and touching a knife wound in Katsgi's side. "What is that from?"
"I don't know Sano, it looks like it was made a day or so ago…" Megumi said, analyzing the wound. "So, someone was also trying to silence Katsgi?" Kenshin said standing up. "NO! I mean he probably got into a fight, with another assassin… I just ahhh… don't want you guys to get hurt." Shura said. * I wonder if it was the person who referred me to Katsgi, did he do this to him? Naw… *
Kenshin watched Shura closely, * She's hiding something, that she is… * "Wait! Yahiko! He'll find her, if she's still alive that she will!" Kenshin cried happily as he stood up. "Yeah, or else we'll never see him again!" Sano said. "Way to lighten the mood, Rooster head!" Megumi said, swatting him in the head. "Well then we must go help Yahiko look for her!" Kenshin cried, turning slightly to see Shura's reaction.
"NO! I mean you guys have to keep the dojo up and running, and you Megumi you have patients, I'll go." Shura cried, trying to cover her folly. "Are you sure Miss Shura?" Kenshin asked in mock amazement. "Yes! I'll go! I'm leaving right now!" Shura grabbed her stuff, and was about out the door, when she ran back and kissed Kenshin on the lips. "Ugh!" Kenshin cried as soon as she was out the door. "I thought you liked Shura, Kenshin, you pay an awful lot of attention to her." Megumi interjected.
"No, I never like her, as to marry. Now I think Miss Shura is up to something, we have to follow her ok?" Kenshin asked. "Ok? But why? What seems suspicious?" Sano asked. "Well, did you see how fast she poured that tea down Katsgi's throat? And immediately after he died, and pointed at her. Then she didn't want us to look for Karou, she'd rather go herself…" Kenshin explained. "Yeah? Maybe she is really concerned?" Sano asked.
"No, she didn't even seem that eager to look for Karou…" Megumi trailed. "I also remember she begged me to go with her on a picnic the day Karou disappeared. "That little bitch! Just wait until I get my hands on her!" Megumi yelled. "Yeah! Come on, let's get a move on!" Sano cried.
~With Karou~
"Oi? Where am I? Ahh! I can't move!" Karou whimpered, as she lay on the ground. She looked around, the heavy foliage blocked her view of the sky. * Where am I all I remember is- * "Katsgi! He didn't kill me… But he left me here, dear man, if his employer… wait! He told me who paid him to do this!" * Shura! You bitch! When I'm able to I will.. * Karou slumped over, exhausted.
Just as she fell, Yahiko came around the corner. He had been looking for Karou, for quite some time. "Karou! Karou! Oh no! I need someone to help me!"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
So? Was it ok? Oh as for questions I think I only got one, and the answer is: Yahiko didn't want to believe karou was dead, that's why he went looking for her.
