Previous: Kaoru was spun around and instantly pulled into strong arms with a startled

yelp she was silence by someone's hands over her mouth. She was than looking into twin

violet eyes she smiled when Kenshin removed his hand and politely ask "wish to dance?"

His voice seemed true enough and with a nod. The song faded into a slower song,

steadier at that, the lights dimmed down even more, the only thing visible was Kenshin

standing right in front of her.

In an Instant he had pulled her into his arms and placed her arms around his neck locking

his eyes onto hers hands placed gently at her waist as he lead her in an hypnotic rhythm.

As the song played softly in the background Kenshin pulled her closer to himself as he

felt the treacherous eyes of the drunks from the night before upon them.

Something was very wrong, Kenshin could sense something from somewhere in the

building. His eyes narrowed as his eyes left Kaoru's and looked around the room, his

well trained eyes taking in every detail. "Kenshin?" he heard his name and looked down

eyes instantly softening "yes Kaoru?" her look was worried and slightly confused "It's

nothing to worry about Miss Kaoru" he says then makes a glance up at Aoshi, who

caught his glance and nodded,

"But we must leave, that we must"

He quickly released her than pulled her along, Kaoru looked behind her to see Aoshi

closely behind them, but Misao was missing. Aoshi lazily pointed to the stairs and Kaoru

turned around. "Miss Kaoru keep walking till you get to the room do not stop" Kenshin

whispered as he pushed her to get her going up the stairs. "Do not look back!" he yelled

and turned around. Kaoru obeyed not knowing what else to do she ran as fast as she

could. Then she heard it. People screaming as death took them. Then there was an

explosion. "KENSHIN!" Kaoru screamed and went to turn around

"Not today Kamiya!" a young female voice said from behind her and grabbed her. As

Kaoru turned around she was hit over the head. Hard. And as she fell to the ground she

caught the face of who hit her "Sorry missy"

Kaoru was shaken awake some hours later to look into brown eyes "See weasel I told you

I didn't kill her!" a satisfied sounding male said as he backed away and let Kaoru sit up

"Sorry bout that missy, had to do it, you were to distressed to listen!" the tall male said

"By the way the names Sagara Sanosuke" He said offering a hand "But everyone calls

him rooster head anyway!" Misao said dragging out 'rooster head' longer than thought

possible. While the two fought Kaoru looked around "Where's Kenshin?" she asked

as she spotted Aoshi in the corner. Sano and Misao froze then looked at her "Well you

see missy he um…." Sanosuke said as Misao said "Himura is um…" just as the door

opened "No need to make excuses you two this one is back" Kenshin said. At first Kaoru

smiled but than it faltered as his eyes gutted her with the look he had given. "Kenshin,

missy didn't know any better" Sanosuke instantly said as he caught the look and jump in

front of Kaoru. Kenshin looked away "I guess you are right that you are"

Kenshin walked across the room "I will meet you three in the inn we have talked about

earlier until then I wish to talk to Miss Kaoru in private" Kenshin said calmly wit a nod,

and a smirk from Sano, the three left the room, Kenshin locking the door behind them.

He turned and froze as he was about to yell at her but the anger died as the look of fear

and apology filled her eyes. He walked over to her and sat on the end of the bed "Miss

Kaoru this one is sorry to have frightened you that I am" Kenshin said with his head

bowed, hair covering his eyes. "If you would have come after me you would have been

seriously hurt, Miss Kaoru." he said looking back up at her his eyes once again calm.

The fear fled from her face "What happened?" she asked her curiosity taking over. "A

small army attacked the inn that's all." He watches her face. Good she bought it. Kaoru

nodded and stood up. "When are we leaving?" Kaoru asked "Soon get what you need

nothing more when we go into town we need to travel light" she didn't bother to ask why

she just stood up and walked over to the window "hey look no rain" she said with a smile

then turned around "let's get going then"
