Hey! Sorry 4 the wait! Chapter 3 and maybe 4 will be up soon after! (Gotta spend more time writing then reading!)Enjoy!

Chapter 2: Go Alone…

Two days had passed.

'One more day Kaoru. Just wait. I'll be there soon…' Kenshin thought to himself. He had been thinking seriously for the past two days. About how to rescue Kaoru and how to avoid becoming what he hated.

grumble 'I had better eat. I'll need all my strength to win this fight.' He sighed

After he had eaten he went to the river to get a 'strength regaining' nap. Awhile after he went to sleep, a familiar voice woke him,

"Ken-san? Ken-san, wake-up!" Megumi's voice broke into his dream,

"Miss Megumi? What are you doing here? I told everyone not to come looking for me!" He asked,

"Because, I had to talk to you." She said sternly. "You can't engage in a fight like this! Not again! Last time you were almost killed! Your body can't take that much stress! You'll surely die!

"I know Miss Megumi, but I'll give my life for Kaoru."

"I don't care what you say! You have to let Sanosuke go with you at least! And before you start, I know you're supposed to go alone! But you just can't fight like this anymore… You just can't…" she started crying uncontrollably… "Please Kenshin… Please…"

"I'm sorry Miss Megumi. But I can't let anyone come with me. Anyone." He said quietly.

"Ken-san, please, not just for Kaoru… Not just for me… But for everyone, don't you dare die or ever even think to go back to Battousai! Do you hear?" she almost yelled out through her sobs.

"Okay Miss Megumi. I Promise." Kenshin said,

"Thank-you Ken-san." She said as she hugged his waist sobbing, "Thank-you… Well, I'd better get going. See you in a few days, Ken-san." And with that, she left, not looking back once.

Morning of Day Three…

'Just a few more hours Kaoru… Just a few more hours…' Kenshin sighed. 'I wonder what been happening to Kaoru these past three days. Probably Saito's verbal brainwash (means like… umm… torturing by saying 'Battousai is never coming…' ect… Keep reading!) Telling her stuff like… 'Battousai is never going to rescue you!' or 'He's only coming to fight me!' Kaoru has a strong soul though. I wouldn't bet on her believing any of it. But knowing what Saito's become, he could be doing anything to her. It won't last much longer though…'

Hey! Hope you like it! Sorry for such a short chapter! I didn't know what else to put! Next one will be good though! Review!
