Chapter 4: True Motive"NNOOO!" Kaoru awoke from her nightmare to find herself drenched in sweat and panting.
"Huh?" She said looking around an unfamiliar room.
"Where am I? And why am I tied up? She realized that the man from her dream was sitting right next to her…
"Who- Enishi! What do you want? Kenshin already defeated you!" She showed no fear, even though she had grown very afraid of this man.
"…I wanted you…" he stated calmly, watching the smoke rise from his cigarette. He looked towards Kaoru's neck, "I see that my dagger left a scar. Sorry."
Kaoru was shocked at his remark, "What? What do you want with me? Do you want to try and defeat Kenshin again! You'll lose!" She couldn't shake the feeling that his true motive had to do more with her than Kenshin.
"Of course, you have deep feelings for the Battousai, do you not?" He asked.
"Yeah, you know what, I do. But that still doesn't tell me why you kidnapped me!" Her temper started to rise.
'Heh. I guess then, I'll have to kill him.' He thought this to himself. "Does Battousai hold feelings for you?"
"Err.. Well… Maybe… But why do you care! It's not as if you love me or something!" Kaoru didn't realize what she said until she said it.
"…" Enishi's silence answered her remark.
"Oh my god… You do don't you!" Kaoru was speechless. (After what she said before.)
"Well… Answer me this… Who kidnapped me, I'm positive it wasn't you." Kaoru wanted answers, and she wanted them now.
"It wasn't. I had Saito do it. Ken…" he corrected himself " Battousai would have gone and fought me on the spot if he new I was there, so I had someone less obvious do the dirty work. If he sensed Saito, he would probably, without a second thought, assume that Saito was doing his daily rounds. After all, Saito is a cop." He finished, almost happy with his reply.
"But, why do you want me? Kenshin wouldn't give me up!" Kaoru was becoming angry. 'Wait, does Kenshin even know I'm gone! How long have I been missing!'
As if reading her thoughts, Enishi answered. "Battousai knows you've been kidnapped. Also, I had Saito send him a note. You've been unconscious for almost a day."
"W-wait." Kaoru had to think about this, "If Kenshin got a note, and its been almost a day, then how come he hasn't found me yet?" Kaoru said more to herself than Enishi.
"I told him to come in 3 days." Enishi looked at Kaoru sternly.
"Why? How come you didn't just tell him to come straight here?" Kaoru questioned.
"Because if I did, it wouldn't have sounded like Saito wrote the note. Saito likes to make Battousai wait. Make him angry. That's why."
"Well, what do you plan to do with me for 2 days?" Anyone could tell Kaoru was angry, "Are you going to starve me? Torture me?"
"No. In fact, I'll go get your food ready right now." And with that he left her in the dark room, speechless.
'There's no way I'm going to eat whatever he gives me. I don't trust him.' She thought to herself.
She lied down on the old, western style bed, which she awoke on. She had to get out of here. But she didn't know how. It seemed Enishi really did love her. But, it also seemed that he would be watching her every movement. How would she get away from him, and back to the man she loved?
(That was in Japanese! Translation below.)
