Disclaimer: What if armegeddon was right around the bend? Would you still make me say it?

Nanakiyoda: Let's do this.

MISAO

There were a few zombies stumbling around the fenced-in area of the Factory but they were too decayied to move fast or attack. Thing was, most of them had lab coats on. Aoshi had told us that this was one of Umbrella's labratorys desguised as an abandoned factory. As we walked around the corner of the lot, I spotted a helicopter.

"Hey guys, look over there...a one way ticket out of here." I said and turned back to see Aoshi's response. He nodded and started on his way to the helicoptor. Finally, now all we have to do is to wait for Himura, Kaoru, Soujiro and Rooster to get here and we'll be out of here. Carlos reached the door and opened it. We all stepped inside and claimed a seat.

"So...why were Kenshin and Kaoru sleeping in each other's arm for last night?" Megumi asked, breaking the silence. I smilied as I looked up at her. She had a michievious smile on her face.

"The same reason they didn't tell each other how they felt in high-school...they were scared." I answered. Both of us laughed but stopped when we realized that Carlos was confused.

"Who is Kenshin and who is Kaoru?" He asked, curious to know more about our friends. Two idiots if you ask me...they don't want to offend the other and take the chance on losing their friendship so much, they'll deny their own love for each other.

"Kenshin is a gentleman and Kaoru is a tomboy." Megumi answered. Bluntly honest much?

"Himura is short with red hair and violet eyes..." Aoshi began to describe Himura but was cut off by Carlos.

"Himura? You mean that guy who fought Nemesis beside me and another man with brown hair?" Carlos asked I nodded.

"Are they still alive?" Megumi asked, being hopeful. I nodded in agreement. Did they survive the fight! Please! Let them have survived!

"Yes. They both did and were brave fighters. We took Nemesis down for a bit but It'll be back up and running in about a couple of hours." Carlos answered first with pride, then drooped into sadness at the realization that Nemesis wasn't dead.

"Where did they go after you beat Nemesis?" Aoshi asked, stopped his work of inspecting the helicopter's controls. Right! You were with them? Where did they go?

"They stayed behind for something. I didn't ask. I was just trying to find Jill." Carlos answered. Then they waited for Rooster. Makes sense...

"Jill?" Megumi asked, breaking me from my thoughts. Jill? Jill Valentine? The one who Kaoru told me about? Her friend from S.T.A.R.S.?

"Miss Jill Valentine. She is also being chased by Nemesis. We seperated when we ran into the room with your friend." Carlos explained. So she is here too?

"Right. Hey, you came to us alone right? Did you see a raven haired girl with a police officers coat run by?" I asked, hopeing he had seen Kaoru on his way.

"Uh...no...I did not. Was she one of your friends?" He asked us. I nodded.

KAORU

Kenshin helped me walk as we walked towards the factory. I must have hurt myself more than I thought. My whole body is aching. At least I'm not by myself anymore. With Jill Soujiro and Kenshin beside me, I don't have to worry about myself. They all have skills in fighting...but I still don't want anyone to die because of me. Now though...I'm in no condition to be walking around here by myself.

"Kaoru, are you sure you are okay?" I heard Soujiro ask me from behind Kenshin and I. Jill was walking in front of us. At least he seems better.

"Yeah...I'm just tired that's all." I groaned out. Kenshin stopped and picked me up, carrying me bridal style. This is nice...if it weren't for the fact it's because I'm weak...

"Are you sure the Worm didn't hurt you? No scratches or bites?" Jill asked. Kenshin chuckled to himself, making no noise but his chest moved from it. Is it that funny that you are carring me around like a little kid? Or is it funny how that worm fried to death?

"I'm positive." I answered and heard Soujiro burst out laughing. Jill snorted from ahead. What in the hell is so damn funny! I looked up at Kenshin, demanding an answer.

"Kaoru...think about it and not seriously." He said. This is not a good time to be goofing off!

"Kaoru...niavety will kill you someday. I'll explain it since you don't get it. You were attack by a giant worm and now you're tired. A giant worm." Soujiro explained. Yeah...I was attacked by a giant worm...you'd be tired too if you were.

"Kaoru...think about it pervertedly." Jill said. Pervertedly...wait...thay don't mean a giant worm as in! Those perverts! How can they think like that! Even Kenshin was laughing!

"That's not right! Kenshin! Why are you laughing too? You of all people should disreguard any perverted thoughts as sinful!" I yelled out and they all laughed again.

"Kaoru...calm down...you'll overstress your wounds. Besides...it's not like they are dreaming of you nude in the bed or anything..." Kenshin said and my eyes bulged. Me? Nude? In the bed? Did he really just say that! Wait! Kenshin always thinks stuff throughly before he speak which means! He wouldn't dare! Would he? I don't wanna even think about the possibility of Kenshin having sexual thoughts about me...I pushed off Kenshin and summed up enough strength to walk on my own. He walked up beside me, with a sorry look on his face.

"Look, I know what you mean't...if it were any time and place but this, I would have allowed it but this isn't the right time or place to be joking around. Lets just get to the helicoptor and get out of this hellhole." I said to him and he nodded in agreement.

"I apologize for my indecent behavior Miss Kaoru. You are right. We must focas at the task at hand." Kenshin said and walked ahead of me and Jill. Dammit! Now I've gone and made him feel like shit! Dammit Kaoru! You're such an idiot! I used as much strength as I could to run up to him. He looked back at me.

"Kenshin...please don't take it like that...I just mean't that we should get out of here and then joke all we want. Your behavior wasn't indecent...it was just out of place." I whispered to him, keeping my eyes to the ground. I felt someone put my arm around their shoulder and help me walk. I looked over at Kenshin and nodded. Turning my attetion forward, I saw the factory looming ahead, with the gate unlocked. Just gotta find the helicopter and hope Misao and the others are there. We are almost out of here...

"STTAAARRRRSSSSS!"

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Uh...writing this up has become quite a challenge.

Tealraptor: How?

Nanakiyoda: Gotta coordinate as much as possible with the timeline and events that happened in the games. That and the character's personalities.

Tealraptor: Never realized it was that hard with as fast as your fingers fly on that keyboard.

Nanakiyoda: Feh...

Tealraptor: That's lame.

Nanakiyoda: I know but what else can I say?

Tealraptor: In any case...the challenge is on. Banzai chibbi chan churoo.

BTW: It's not going to end as easy as they thought.

BTW: I have accidentally left Yahiko, Yutaro and Tsubame out of this fanfic. I will include them in another fanfic of the Resident Kenshin Saga. I'll let you know what one they are in when I create it.
