Escapeing Destiny
By: Moon Baby
Chapter 3
It was Kaoru's turn to be livid...
First.
The man that was her savior turned out to be her enemy, and was playing with her emotions! The @#$%^*& didn't know what he was dealing with!! She could kill him with out thinking, and that doesn't mean with Kunai knives or the sword that she uses. She meant magic, not even the Hitokiri Battousai himself is quick enough to stop her from using destructive and killing spells!
And Second.
How the hell could she have liked the guy in the first place!!! She knew that she had challenged the Battousai first, but he was tempting her limits, and he was quick to find that she hadn't too many restraints on her anger, and when you made Kamiya Kaoru mad, you really made her mad. He didn't even answer her question! And now that they were in a compromising position, even with her Kunai at his throat, she could still hear and feel his heart beat. And with the dull edge of his Katana at the nape of her neck... It seemed that he wanted to press her body to his, or he didn't want to, but her turning around made it seem like that.
And why did he strike with his dull edge when he wants to kill her...
' Or maybe he doesn't want to kill me he wants to take me to his power- hungry King! Ug the nerve of this man is unbearable!!'
On the outside Kaoru looked calm, except for the fact that she was growling at the Battousai, giving him an icy blue glare, and trying to dig her Kunai knife into his throat without braking skin. Ok, so she wasn't as clam as Battousai, but still...
^*^*^*^*^*
On the other hand...
Kenshin was angry at first, seeing that she had done something so naïve, and stupid as to challenge the Hitokiri Battousai just because he didn't answer a question he didn't have the answer to.
But seeing her angry...
Now that was amusing.
He smirked at her as he felt the knife dig into his skin. Kenshin's hand went up to the Princess',
"You shouldn't play with things you don't know about." Kenshin stated. Kenshin tried to take the knife out of her hands, to find that she had a very strong grip.
"Let go if you know what's good for you." Kenshin said a little impatient.
"And you know what's good for me?" The princess had a mock shock look on her face. "I really don't think so." She said in a singsong voice.
Kenshin glared, "Your trying to make this harder than it already is." His voice cold and annoyed, it was obvious, he was angry. Kenshin's grip tightened on her hand, it seemed like he was testing her strength by crushing her hand. She didn't even flinch.
"Hey you're the one who kidnapped me in the first place." She glared back.
"I was ordered too." His voice going to an angry whisper.
"Then why does your Master want to kidnap me?" The Princess growled out, she was trying to get information out of him, he could tell.
"That's for us to know and you to find out." Kenshin growled back.
"Is it?" She says as she drops her knives on the futon, and brushes Kenshin's bangs out of his face.
Kenshin was shocked to say the least, "What are you doing?" his voice a menacing whisper.
The Princess didn't answer, only smiled seductively.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Osaka Castle was in up roar...
Their precious Princess Kaoru was kidnapped right from under their noses.
Saito couldn't help but curse all the time, ' damn them, damn them all to hell and back!'
It seemed that the enemy had been planning to kidnap or kill the rightful queen to the throne for ages.
The day she had gone missing, every one had looked for her... but in the end no one had found her. The next day they searched for her nonstop, but that day Yahiko had found her favorite blue ribbon. It was where he usually found her when she wanted peace, quite, and freedom. It had given them, the hunters, and the whole search squad a clue..., but not a very big one. They searched the place around that for a long time; there was no blood what so- ever. That had given them the information that someone had taken her, and the whole palace had relaxed, and tensed at the same time. They relaxed because they knew that the only people that could have taken her where the Hiten Mitsurugi's, so they knew who had taken her, and where they where, not really, but they knew she was in enemy territory.
And that's why they tensed, in enemy territory, they couldn't get to Kaoru, and they had no idea how to save her... They'd have to wait till the time was right, and that time isn't going to be there any time soon...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kenshin just looked at the Princess as she pressed her forehead against his...
Kenshin was a ball of nerves right now... but on the outside he didn't show it.
' What is she doing to me?'
Kenshin's eyes where looking for a way out... he didn't find any, so he looked back at the princess, ' BIG mistake!!!!' Kenshin thought. But he couldn't look away; he was in her spell, noticing that he was being affected at how close their lips where, how she smelled like jasmine, how she wrapped her arms around him.
He went to kiss her, when he smelled something burning...
This time Kenshin saw a real smile grace her lips.
The Princess smiled evilly, "Your head is on fire."
Kenshin backed away from her quickly, he saw on her fingertip was a small ball of fire. He saw her wave her hand and it was gone, but the fire burning his hair was still there.
Kenshin shot her a death glare, "If I kill you, would it stop?"
"No." Kaoru said shaking her head, her bright eyes still on him. "Only I can stop it."
"I think you're bluffing." Kenshin's voice was getting hard to hear. His sword flashed an eerie blue. The princess just smiled nervously. Kenshin smirked he called her bluff.
But before he could kill her, she snapped her fingers, and the fire was gone.
Kenshin glared he was going to have to cut it short...
"You don't have to cut it at all." The princess said in an angry, and bored voice. "Geeze, you're no fun."
Kenshin just looked at her dumfounded, ' Can she read my thoughts?' Kenshin concentrated in his mind until... He felt something, or someone in this case, searching his mind, like a person filing through papers. His eyes widened.
"Yes I can read your thoughts." The princess said, now interested, she was reading his past...
"Ahhh... so your name is Kenshin, that's a nice name." She said happily, a bright smile on her face.
"GET OUT OF MY HEAD!!!" Kenshin roared, he saw her grab her head and fall to the floor.
For Kenshin the searching feeling stopped, his hand went to feel his hair, it was still there, Kenshin growled, Kaoru didn't have the right to do that.
Kenshin stopped again, 'Wait how did I know her name? I didn't ask her for it.'
He heard coughing, and looked to Kaoru, baffled once again.
Her hunched form, he could see, she was holding her hand over her chest.
"You know my name.... Battousai, because if I read some ones mind... then they can see into mine... and since I only got as far as your name, you only got a far as mine as well." Kaoru said coughing in between the words. "Will you do me a favor and not yell in your head when I'm in it? It hurts a lot." Kaoru was recovering.
"No." Kenshin said. "You didn't have the right to look into my mind in the first place, and if you do that again I promise I will yell." Kenshin's voice was a poisonous whisper; he could see Kaoru shiver.
"Well Shinta," she saw his gold eyes stare her down in a glare as deadly as his voice. "The only reason I read your hateful, blood covered, murdering mind was to find out your name."
Kaoru saw him disappear and come back behind her, tightly gripping her neck; Kaoru's hands instantly went up to his hand trying to free herself.
"Do you think I like doing my job?" Kenshin breathed into her ear, sending a tingling sensation down her back.
Kaoru stayed silent, she didn't know how to answer that.
"I-I'd think you would like it as much as Jinei." Kaoru whispered, stumbling on an answer.
Kenshin just dropped her on the floor none to gently, ' So she's already had an encounter with Jinei has she.'
'Yes I already had an encounter with Jinei. It seems you know him, with the way you act, I would think you're very good friends.' Kenshin heard Kaoru's thoughts in his head, and he turned to her.
"I wouldn't stoop so low as to be that bastards friend." Kenshin narrowed his eyes a little bit. "Get out of my head."
Kaoru just smiled sweetly, though he could tell that there was a tinge of sarcasm there. "I would, but it seems that I can't." Kenshin just looked at her with wide eyes,' What do you mean you can't?' Kaoru tried again, and Kenshin felt something tugging on his mind, but it stopped. "See."
Kenshin just looked at her. "You've got to be joking."
Kaoru tried again, but nothing happened, 'No, I'm not joking.' Kenshin could feel panic, but it wasn't coming from him, well not all of it at least. Kaoru was panicking, this had never happened to her before.
'I can't believe this! You could have just asked for my name, and then this would have never happened, I thought you could see the future!' Kenshin was- well right he couldn't sort out his emotions, but he was enraged, that he new.
'I CAN see into the future, but that only comes to me in dreams, you moron. And besides if I asked you your name would you have told me?' Kaoru was just as mad as he was.
Kenshin didn't answer.
'I thought so.' Kaoru thought to him.
Kenshin just growled at her.
'Why did Hiko tell me to kidnap her?'
'HEY!!! I can hear you, ya' know!' Kaoru kept glaring at him.
'Well you weren't supposed to kidnap her, you were supposed to kill her'
"HEY! I CAN HEAR YOU, YA' KNOW!!!" Kaoru yelled, and thought at the same time.
Kenshin winced in response, "WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT FOR!!!"
~*~*~*~*~*~* (In another room...)
"Newly Weds..." A man said shaking his head in frustration. ~*~*~*~*~*~*
Kaoru glared at him as she winced as well, ' Don't talk and think like I'm not here!'
'Well that's kind of hard, if you haven't noticed, I'm not used to having a WOMAN in my head!
'Thank you for telling me that, Captain Oblivious. Though it's not every day my powers backfire on me! If I knew this would happen I wouldn't have tried anything!' Kaoru yelled at him.
Kenshin stopped.
'Your powers backfired? I thought you had control on them.' Kenshin said in a accusing tone.
'Well I'm not my mother, okay.' Kaoru said bitterly.
Kenshin looked at her. She was glaring at him through tears, it looked like she was desperate to unlink them, or talking about her mother stimulated her crying.
'I never said you were your mother.'
Kaoru didn't say or think anything from that point on.
And Kenshin left the room.
~*~*~*~*~
Kenshin walked down the steps to the bar, he needed something to drink. He couldn't believe what the woman had gotten him into. Wasn't he always telling his Master that women were bad luck? Ug! He never listens! Ignorant man.
~*~*~*~*~
Kaoru heard all of what Kenshin was saying in his mind, until they weren't full sentences, 'Must be drinking.' Kaoru got a dizzy filling, 'so anything that happens to him takes effect on me too.' Kaoru vaguely heard Kenshin get into the room and fall into a corner, and darkness over came her, and she slept.
But Kenshin was still awake; the alcohol doesn't effect him as much. His golden eyes all to watchful...
WELL!!! That's it, I'm sorry I didn't extend the chapter much, but
I'm stuck. I don't know what to do... Maybe if I rest on it... All
well, until next Thursday. And if you have any ideas on what to do
tell me and I'll see if I can put them in... Maybe it'll give me an
idea... And again thank you all SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO much!! If you have the
time review please!!!
