Nice To Meet Ya
Chapter 4
: Cruel Intentions


Kaoru's POV

I lay awake in bed, that's only occupied by me; since Gohei told me that won't be able to sleep tonight since he's going over the plan with another guy named Katsura Nomura; who is one of the Battousai's bosses who wants to see him dead just for sport.

If there was one thing I learned while being held captive in my own home, it would be that most of the men I would meet in my life are vicious, uncaring animals. They're all the same. All they care about is money, power, respect, and sex. With power comes corrupt souls. With corrupt souls comes cruelness.

I bet you that all the men in the world think that they could buy happiness, but that's not true because if it was I would've bought it a longtime ago... However, the guy I danced with tonight seemed different from the rest of the men I had dealt with due to the fact that they are Gohei's business partners and friends. If I should end up going along with doing my share of the bargain and I get the chance to leave this cloudly city of broken dreams, what would I do first? Where would I go that would accept a 17 year old girl who isn't married without having to work at a brothel?

And then I begin to think, what happens if the plan doesn't work and if the Battousai finds out about it... This plan sounds bad, and I don't want this guy to think I have cruel intentions up my sleeve. I never asked for the role of being devious, but it lies in my destiny. I don't hope that one of us gets 'crashed and burnt'.

And if this plan happens to be lain in my destiny, so be it.


Kenshin's POV

I'm avoiding all contact with both Misao and Aoshi for a while to clear my mind from thinking about getting revenge on them. I can't spend time dwelling on that, since I have a new task from one of my bosses, Katsura Nomura. Usually, I get assassination missions from him, since he tends to gain a lot of enemies.

I, personally hate his whole demeanor and I know the feeling is mutual because he tried to get me either hurt badly, arrested, or killed by other assassins; when I was first hired by him. I can't hate him, he's just playing his role in life, which is to act like a total prick.

This time, however; I received a task which I have to kidnap some girl who lives around the outskirts of Tokyo, watch her and keep her unharmed in my apartment for 3 months.

The 'great' thing about this is that I share this apartment in Tokyo with my free-loading friend, and I told Aoshi and Misao that they could stay here while we stay in Tokyo. I guess I have to put them out, for 3 months. I just hope that this girl isn't a royal pain in the ass. I have no patience with that nonsense.

I won't be nice to her, she's the only thing that's keeping me from getting paid. And that's it...

I'll just look at what the stars has in store for me.
