Nanakiyoda: I'm hungry...

Tealraptor: When aren't you?

Nanakiyoda: Uh...

KENSHIN

I walked into a room where a body sat next to a control panel. Over in the corner, the was a locker that had been busted through. I walked over and examined it. I picked up a heavily damaged coat. This is a R.P.D. jacket...and it's still warm...it smells of jasmine as well. This is Kaoru's coat. She was here. I saw the rope on the floor of the locker. I also saw the burnt rope on the handle of the locker. Someone tied her up and tied her shut in here but she managed to get out. So she most likely didn't come into the factory by choice.

"Himura. Are you finished just standing there?" I heard Aoshi ask from behind me. I turned around at glared at him. He's been following me.

"Kaoru was here." I said and turned towards the other door.

KAORU

I had made it to the communications room and had overheard the announcement. Every five minutes it repeated. It all makes sense now...they're going to cover this up...

"Attention. The Raccoon city project has been abandoned. Political maneuvering to delay fedaral plans has failed. All personnel must evacuate immediatly to outside of the ten-mile blast radius. Missiles will be launched at daybreak. This message is being broadcast on all channels, and will be repeated in five minutes." The radio stated and went quiet again. Wait...Raccoon Project? Does this mean that this was all planned out and there may be more cities like this out there...damn Umbrella. I better get out of here then. Daylight is only in an hour. I walked out of the door, throwing the keycard I had used to enter it into it as I shut the door. It locked itself. I heard Nemesis cry out the only word it knew from down the hall, so I ran for the elevator. I pushed a random button as I got in. Nemesis charged forth and passed the elevator. Just as the door shut, Nemesis turned around and yelled in frustrastion at me. The elevator lifted up and I slumped to the floor. I have to get out of here quickly...

AOSHI

We both heard the yell of Nemesis and ran towards it. As we ran down a hall, I saw a man laying on the side of the hall, torn clearly in half. Himura and Kamiya are insane...if they think they can keep playing games with a creature that tears full grown men apart...they have to be out of their minds. I grabbed Himura's jacket as he went to run out into another hallway and pulled him back. He turned back and glared at me but I ignored the shorter man's temper. Nemesis stomped down the hallway, completely ignoring us. It's determined to kill Kamiya. As determined as Himura is to find her.

"We need to follow it. It'll find Kaoru and lead us to her." Himura said and started down the hall following it. He is crazy...I just hope he realizes that. Forget this. I'm going back to the Helicopter. I turned the corner and walked down the other way of the hall and up to an elevator. I pushed the button to open it and heard it humming. Or, I could just find her. She must have escaped Nemesis by using the elevator. I looked up and saw that the elevator was heading for the top floor. Then up it is. As soon as I get her, It straight to the helicoptor and away from here. Himura is on his own.

KENSHIN

Following the creature wasn't hard. I walked directly behind it without it noticing me. As I walked, my hatred for the creature built up. It's all your fault. If you weren't chasing Kaoru, she wouldn't have split from the group. Then we'd be well on our way out of here. Then I'd be...what happens after this is of no concern now. I must find her and get out of here. I noticed all the burn marks and bullet holes that ran ragged through out its body. Most of the leather that Nemesis wore was now just rags. The tentacles on its back waved in the air. I will kill you for all the trouble you have caused. I just need you to do your job for now.

MISAO

I stretched from fatigue. Looking over at Megumi, I saw that she had fallen asleep. Jill had done the same. Carlos was up but only to reload his gun. I must have fallen asleep.

"Hey! Can anyone hear me?" I heard the radio of the helicopter crack. Immediately I jumped and grabbed the headset. Carlos looked over at me and shrugged, flipping a few switches.

"Yeah. I can...I mean we can hear you loud and clear." I answered. Carlos flipped another switch. I looked over at him. Oh, he must be working the radio.

"This is Kaoru Kamiya. Where are you at?" She asked. Kaoru! Where in the hell is she at and what is she doing! Jill sat up and was listening.

"Kaoru! Where in the hell are you! We've been waiting for you! Himura just went into the factory about an hour ago trying to find you and Aoshi followed after him!" I asked.

"I don't know! Some guy just frickin grabbed ahold of me and knocked me out. I woke up in a locker and got out only to be chased to where I am by that damned Nemesis!" Kaoru stated angrily. At least its not her fault she went in...

"Kaoru, were you dragged inside of the factory because that probably where you are at right now." I told her and I heard a sigh come in from her.

"Guys, I don't know if I can make it back to the helicopter. Umbrella is going to blow Raccon up at dawn. Please...if I can't make it out of here in thirty minutes...take off." I heard Kaoru said sadly. Oh my...so thats their solution to this.

"Kaoru! Listen to me. Get your ass out of there and now!" I heard Jill yell out. I turned around and handed her the headset. Motivate away.

"Jill? I'll try but no promises. You guys must promise me that you'll leave in thirty minutes. Just because I can't get my ass out of here doesn't mean you all should die waiting for me." I heard that radio crackle and then go dead. Jill threw the headset at the wall of the helicopter.

"Dammit! She's not coming!" Jill yelled out and kicked the headset. Megumi sat up.

"What do you mean she's not coming?" Megumi asked. Seriously...Kaoru wouldn't just stand there. She will come...she has to!

"She's buying us time from Nemesis. Remember when she left you all back in the park? It was so that she could lure Nemesis away from you guys. She told me as long as you all survive, she didn't care what happened to her!" Jill cried out and slumped to the ground.

KAORU

I backed away from the radio and turned towards the ladder that led to the floor below in the middle of the room. Aoshi walked into the room. Shit. Now he's in here with me...

"Trying to find your way out or get yourself killed?" He asked. He catches on quickly. Too quickly for his own good, but he does think things through.

"You overheard the conversation right? Then get out of here. I'll take care of this. You just take care of Misao and the rest." I answered him and he shook his head.

"Himura is looking for you. You know he will stop at nothing to protect you. He won't let us leave without you. You are coming with me." Aoshi said. I shook my head.

"Kenshin is in this factory right? Well, you can go back to the helicopter and take off without him knowing. Go now. I'll deal with Kenshin when I see him." I said. Aoshi looked up at the ceiling then back to me and nodded. He turned and left. If I see Kenshin that is. Well, at least Aoshi won't die here with us. I looked at the ladder and started down.

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Ahh...happy place found.

Tealraptor: So how is this going to end?

Nanakiyoda: Not like most people think it will.

Tealraptor: Really?

Nanakiyoda: Yep...lets just say things are going to get interesting...

Tealraptor: Is someone going to die?

Nanakiyoda: Banzai chibbi chan churroo.

BTW: The end is near...but how near?

BTW: Should I do an epilogue?
