Hey everyone! Sorry it takes so long for me to update. I'm still
kinda grounded, but hey, what can I do? Anyway, here's chapter 2
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Rurouni Kenshin.(weep) 888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
CHAPTER 2: Kaoru's Slave
Lord Kamiya Masako sat in his favorite chair, with his favorite book, and was enjoying the peaceful morning when.
"DADDY!!"
Kamiya looked up startled and saw his youngest child, Kaoru running in. He sighed,
"Hai Kaoru-chan?"
13 year old Kaoru smiled
"Daddy, since I'm old enough for my own slave now, can I pick first. Please?"
Kamiya looked down at his dark-haired, blue-eyed daughter and smiled
"Alright. You can pick first darling."
Kaoru smiled and hugged her father,
"Thank-you Daddy!"
Just then Kamiyas secretary came in,
"Excuse me my Lord, but the slave traders are here. They've got 15 new ones to show you."
Kamiya rose and beckoned to his daughter, who was straightening her pale purple kimono. Her older brother, Sanosuke, and her older sister, Tae, trotted out from their respective rooms and followed. They entered the Great Hall, and the 'boss', Tashini Akaro bowed.
"Lord Kamiya. I'm pleased to find you well. Takashi will bring in the slaves as soon as you wish it."
Kamiya nodded and Kaoru butted in,
"Can you bring them out now? Please?"
Kamiya rested a hand on her head,
"Bring them in Mr. Tashini."
Tashini nodded and snapped his fingers. Takashi came leading a young man around the age of 20, behind him came 13 others around the same age. Kaoru frowned,
"You said there were 15 slaves. I only count 14."
Tashini cleared his throat,
"You're correct Ms. Kamiya. There is another, however, he is hardly older then yourself, and untrained."
Kaoru smiled.
"I want to see him."
Tashini blanched
"B-b-b-but."
Kamiya held up his hand,
"She wants to see him."
Takashi signaled outside and about 5 armed guards came in, surrounding a small teenage boy. Kaoru's eyes widened. He had fiery red hair in a ponytail, and large violet eyes. He was gorgeous in her eyes; his appearance was marred only by a large cross-shaped cut on his left cheek. She also noticed a sword at his waist. Tashini frowned,
"I told you to take that sword away from him."
One of the guards bowed his head in embarrassment
"We tried sir. We couldn't even get close enough to touch it."
Kaoru smiled: Wow. He must be strong if he can avoid Mr. Tashini's men. And he's really cute to boot:
"I want him Daddy, with the red hair."
She pointed to Kenshin. Kamiya frowned
"Kaoru, I was thinking your first slave should be a girl"
Kaoru's hand went to the bokken strapped to her back and Kamiya put his hands up in defense,
"But if he's the one you want."
Kaoru smiled
"Thank-you Daddy!"
Kaoru ran over to a surprised Kenshin and took hold of the chain leash around his neck. Tae and Sano didn't want the other slaves, so Kamiya paid for Kenshin. Takashi and Tashini left with the remaining slaves, who were rather quiet. Before leaving, however, Takashi paused to look at Kaoru,
"Take care Miss. That boy's a real fireball, especially when it comes to sword play. He killed about half the men, who caught him, plus some of his guards."
Kenshin glared at him with amber-speckled violet eyes, and Takashi left. Kaoru pulled Kenshin along,
"Don't mind him. He's just an old fuddy-duddy. And don't mind my family or the other slaves either. If they try picking on you, just tell me and I'll take care of them."
"I can take care of myself thanks. I'm not a baby."
Kaoru jumped; it was the first time she'd heard him speak. She looked at him and blushed: Damn. He's even cuter up close:
She shook her head and led him towards her bed-chambers. Kenshin looked around. He was board. All the riches in the house were boring.and so was Kaoru's commentary. Kenshin struggled to suppress a yawn, and failed. Kaoru frowned
"What?"
Kenshin looked at the girl holding his leash
"Cant you talk about anything other then those over-priced objects?"
Kaoru stiffened
"Well. You don't seem to know how lucky you are. You don't realize how many slaves would jump to be in a house like this?"
Kenshin sighed: Oh brother:
"Did it ever occur to you that I haven't always been a slave? Those damn slave traders ambushed my sensei and me last night."
Kaoru was stunned,
"They kidnapped you?"
Kenshin sighed
"Besides, before my parents died, we were very wealthy as well, so I already know about this stuff."
Kaoru blinked and, to Kenshin's surprise, she started to laugh. Kenshin frowned and crossed his arms over his chest
"What's so funny?"
Kaoru grinned at the red-head,
"Well that explains why you were so different from the other slaves."
Kaoru led him to a room adjacent her own.
"Here is your bed-chamber. Considering you come from a household like mine, I assume you know the duties of a slave. Right?"
Kenshin nodded,
"Yes."
Kaoru smiled
"Good. Can you read and write?"
Kenshin nodded. Kaoru showed him to a closed door,
"Then you may have full access to my personal library, unless I tell you otherwise. O.K?"
Kenshin nodded, and Kaoru looked at him
"Now, what's your name, and how old are you?"
Kenshin bowed to her
"My name is Kenshin, Himura Kenshin. I am 14 years old."
Kaoru smiled and reached up to unhook Kenshin's coler
"And my name is Kamiya Kaoru. I am 13 years old."
Kaoru smiled wider and grabbed Kenshin by the hand
"Come on Kenshin! I'll show around so you don't get lost."
Kenshin smiled to himself: This girl's definitely one of a kind:
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
One week later Takashi and Tashini came back. Lord Kamiya was in his study speaking with them. Kenshin and Kaoru were walking by the room when.
"THAT'S AN OUTRAGE TASHINI! THERE'S NO WAY IN HELL IM GIVING THE RED-HEAD BACK!"
"Kamiya be reasonable. I should have gotten a better price for him."
"I DON'T CARE! HE MAKES KAORU HAPPY. SHE HASN'T SMILED SO MUCH SINCE BEFORE HER MOTHER DIED!"
Kaoru went pale and looked at Kenshin. His face was unreadable. She burst through the door,
"Daddy! You can't let them have Kenshin! He's my best friend!"
Tashini jumped from his seat at the sight of Kenshin. He was holding Kaoru's hands from reaching her bokken. Kenshin glared at Tashini with cold amber eyes that made everyone's blood run cold.
"If you attempt to force me away from Kaoru, I will not hesitate to kill you."
Tashini's hand went to his sword,
"Oh really?"
Kenshin released Kaoru's hands
"Yes. I challenge you to a duel of swords."
Tashini sneered at him
"Very well. If I win you come with me. If I lose, which I won't, I won't bother you about leaving again."
Kenshin nodded,
"I accept your terms Mr. Tashini. We will duel outside."
Kenshin led Tashini outside, ignoring the protests of Kaoru and her father. Once outside, they got into their attack stances. Takashi looked at them, grim faced
"And, begin!"
Before anyone could blink Tashini had attacked. Kenshin blocked it easily and smirked viciously
"My turn."
Tashini's eyes widened: He's not even trying:
Within a split second Tashini was thrown to the ground with Kenshin's sword at his throat.
"I win."
Kenshin removed his sword and Tashini scrambled to his feet,
"You were just playing with me! You-you're not human!"
Kenshin smirked. Kaoru's knees felt weak, but she ran over to Kenshin anyway. Kenshin caught her as she collapsed into his arms. Kenshin's eyes faded back to violet as he picked her up and carried her back inside. Takashi shook his head, and Lord Kamiya just stared at the spot where Tashini and Kenshin had fought.
"Holy Kami."
888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888888
P.S.: Hey! Well, there's chapter 2 for ya's. I hope you liked it.
(Kenshin enters)
Kenshin: I liked it.
P.S.: That's only 'cause you got to beat up Tashini
Kenshin shrugs.
Gohan: I liked it!
P.S. What are u doing here Gohan? This isn't one of my DBZ fanfics
Gohan (shrugs): So? I just came to show support for my #1 fan.
Kenshin: Wait a minute! She's my #1 fan!
Gohan: Is not!
Kenshin: Is to! Besides she said I'm cute!
Gohan: So what? She had a crush on me for 3 whole years! And she's written about 12 fanfics about me that she hasn't posted, about 4 fan-manga, and on top of all that, her and her friend (DBZandCharmedRule)are writing a joint fanfic about me, so there! Nyah! (Sticks out his tough)
Kenshin: That's it! You're going down monkey boy!
Gohan: Bring it on carrot-top! (Both engage in a vicious battle)
P.S: Oh brother. What am I going to do with them? *sigh*
(Xeeka enters)
Xeeka: What's going on?
P.S.: Yeay! Everyone, this is my other personality, Xeeka! She talks to me in my dreams and stuff. And she's completely opposite of me, so it's like having a twin inside my head. Cool huh?
Xeeka: Whatever, ding-bat, but you need to say bye-bye to your fans now.
P.S.: No! I don't wanna.
Xeeka: *sigh* If you do, you can type chapter 3, and your fans wont burn you at the stake.
P.S.: Hey good point. (Xeeka's the smarter one) So bye-bye.
Xeeka: So what are you going to do about them?
P.S.: Oh leave them. They'll stop fighting eventually.
Xeeka: *sweatdropps* whatever. Let's go get some ice-cream.
P.S: OK!
(Xeeka and P.S. leave. Kenshin and Gohan continue fighting)
