~~Konnichiha!!!!  Okie Dokie Pokie here's chapter four. OH and if you're wondering like Kaname-chan what Kenshin looks like he looks like his Battosai side.  If I were to make him all hairy like the Beast then ~hmmm I don't know then it just wouldn't be as different.  I'm trying to just really keep the same story line as Disney's Beauty and the Beast.

Disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin nor Beauty and the Beast.

Oh and I'd like to thank Tati-Chan14.  before I go on with the story.  Tati-Chan14 if you're wondering why I'm thanking you it's because the idea you gave me. ^_^ I liked it so I'm going to put it in. THANK YOU VERY MUCH .  I'm sure this well help make the story a lot better. ^.~ But I might screw it up I don't know how good I'll be at writing your idea. BUT Thank you anyways!!!

~Kaoru and the Battosai~

Chapter 4

~The Fight

"I am the master of this castle," the Battosai sneered.  "The man you have in the dungeon is my father.  He is sick.  Please let him go!" Kaoru exclaimed as she glared into the Battosai's eyes. "He should not have trespassed then,"  responded the Battosai.  "What can I do for you to let him go?  I'll do anything you ask of."  Kaoru questioned and pleaded.  'Anything I say...what a foolish girl she is…to foolish,' the Battosai smirked.  "There are plenty of things you could do for me," the Battosai smiled evilly in the dark, "but none of them would make me release your father." 

"But you must…"  " I suggest you leave before I throw you in with your father," he said walking into the light.  Kaoru's eye felled upon the Battosai's appearance.  His hair was the color of blood pulled to a tight high ponytail.  His face showed no emotions, his lips were drawn into a frown, and his eye slanted; while the coldness of his eyes frizzed her blood.  He was wearing a dark blue gi and white hakama.  At his side was a katana. 'A katana….So he knows swordsmanship….hmmmmm ahh I got it ….I'll challenged him to a fight if I when he lets my father and I go home..perfect' 

"How about a sword fight?  If I win you have to let my father and I go."  Kaoru said.  The Battosai looked deep into Kaoru's artic eyes.  "Sure, but if I win, and I will, you must stay here with me."  "And my father?"  No your father would be free to go but you will not," he stated.  "Are you willing to make the sacrifice little girl because I can assure you that I will not lose."  "Anything to save my father." Kaoru exclaimed.  "Fine then you'll need a sword.  Follow me." 

Kaoru carefully followed the Battosai down the hallway in till he came to a stop at a door.  He turned back, looked at Kaoru  and stared at her; Kaoru gasped at the emotionless face he gave her. Laughing he wisped "I won't go easy just because you're a girl."   Opening the door he allowed Kaoru in first then closed the door behind him locking his servants, who had followed them, out. 

Kaoru was surprised at the size of the room.  She turned to her left and looked at the swords that hung on the wall.  There were many katanas; old and new.  "Hurry and chose a sword.  I don't have all day," the Battosai said annoyed. 'hmm I don't use a katana…..what am I to do…."   Looking at the wall her eyes finally came to a bokken.  'Wow…he actually has a bokken here..great I'll use that then'   "Ok I'll use this" Kaoru said grabbing the bokken.  "You really are the foolish girl I thought you to be.  Using a wooden sword against a real one.  How stupid," he laughed coldly.

Taking her stance, she stared at the Battosai watching her ever moving.  "Are you sure your ready little girl?"  he asked.  "The names Kaoru.  And yes I am ready. Are you?"  'humph a girl with an attitude it will be fun have her around'  the Battosai thought as he stood there.  "If you are then come. I haven't all day just to stand here and look at you," he said in a voice so cold that  Kaoru's hair stood on ends.  "Prepare yourself!" She yelled as she rushed forward.  It was only when she brought her bokken down that she notice he was gone. 'huh where is he.  He couldn't have just vanished in thin air'  She thought as she looked around. Turning around she finally saw the Battosai.  Smiling "I thought you'd never found me.  But, I don't feel like playing so I'm going to make this short. Come!"  Again Kaoru come at the Battosai and again he disappear.  'Gee does he think I'm that dumb.  Using the same thing he did last time.  He's behind me'  Turning around Kaoru was surprised to found out that he wasn't there.  "Hiten Mitsurugi-Ryu- Ryutsuisen," he yelled coming down on the confused Kaoru.
