I'm not dead, just um…..um….*runs*
PS—No flaming me damnit, I KNOW what I'm DOING!! -.- And I KNOW about the Battousai!!!!

~~

   Harry walked through the dew moist grass under the invisibility cloak while heading towards the forest. " Okay…Himura couldn't have gone too far…" He jogged a bit so he could get there faster, but slow enough so he didn't make much noise.

   He stopped suddenly, hearing a sharp chink sound. He looked around, then cautiously continued. He paused only for a second the next time he heard it. At the third time, he just started to follow it, recognizing the sound as swords.

   He soon came to a clearing, and stifled a gasp.

   " Face it!!" Battousai got down on his hands and swept his foot under Kenshin, but the older samurai jumped out of the way. " You can't win!!"  He jumped back up, then charged at the rurouni. Kenshin blocked Battousai's sword with his.

   " Why are you doing this!?" Kenshin demanded. Battousai grinned a toothy smile.

 " Power…"

" What?!" Battousai forced Kenshin back, then jumped over Kenshin. Kenshin quickly turned around, and started blocking the younger warrior's onslaught of swipes.

   " That- can't be true! There's something else!" Kenshin ducked under Battousai's sword, then brought the hilt of his sword up to make contact with the boy's stomach. Battousai winched.

   " No….that's it. Power…" Kenshin got back up, readying to hit the sword out of his other's hands, but the Battousai saw this, and slid it in its sheathe, then jumped back.

   " You didn't fight for power! You fought to protect!!" The younger swordsman laughed.

  " I did, until I met Voldemort!" Kenshin blinked.

" What did he do to you…?"

  *CRACK*

    The two turned their heads towards the sound of a twig snapping.

Harry cursed himself silently, then realized he wasn't swearing as quietly as he should have.

   Battousai quickly drew his sword out. " Who's there?!" Harry swallowed. " No point in hiding, I know you're there…" Harry knew he was right. He knew he was there. He took off the cloak.

   " Harry?!" Battousai suddenly grinned. " Harry Potter!!" He took a step towards Harry, but Kenshin was suddenly in front of him.

   " Harry, what are you doing here?!" Kenshin demanded while keeping an eye on his other. " Go back to the castle, NOW!"

 " But--"

 " Now!" Battousai suddenly yelled. Kenshin was confused for a moment, then felt something move from behind him. He spun around, then saw something grab Harry.

  " Harry---!!" Kenshin coughed as the air was suddenly knocked out of him. He fell to his knees as a man in a robe behind Battousai held his wand up.

  " Take the two of them," he instructed. Battousai and the man holding Harry nodded. Kenshin lied on the ground, paralyzed. He struggled to prop himself on his elbows, and glare up at the Battousai.

   " You…this was a trap…"

" Yup. So it was." The assassin smiled, then nudged his head towards Kenshin while looking at the man with the wand. The man nodded, then shot Kenshin with another spell.

   Kenshin could remember Harry call out his name, but then everything went black, and all the sounds in the world were muted.
