Kenshin looked down at his fallen angel and wonder what in the world he's done to her. He was so focused on the distant Kaoru that he didn't hear Megumi talk about her syndrome.
"Kenshin! Earth to Kenshin!" Megumi asked, which was responded with a soft oro. "Did you hear anything I said?"
"Gomen."
Megumi sighed, "I'm not too sure what is wrong with her, maybe she passed out from shock. She definably has signs that show she was shocked and a quick fall into depression. Other than those I can't figured out what happened, unless…"
That quickly grabbed Kenshin's attentions, "unless what?"
"Unless she's just doing this to make you stay and not leave her. Ohohohohohoho."
Laughing her trademark laugh tip toeing out, she quietly shut the door leaving behind a very confused and worried Kenshin.
"How is she?" Sano voice spoke out.
Megumi looked up in surprised. "She's unstable; she seems to be in and out of reality. It could be some spiritual pull; I've seen it with people who are on border line of life and death."
"WHAT THE HECK? (Sorry, I had to make it 'non verbally bad') ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME THAT SHE'S FREAKING DYING?" Sano yelled at Megumi.
"NO NO, I'm saying, this is indeed strange, but I can't be too sure." She replied pointing her finger toward the room, an indication telling Sano to quiet down since Kenshin's just inside the room.
While they discussed about Kaoru's condition more, there was a sudden crash in the room and heard Kenshin demanding to know who someone was.
'Did someone barge in the dojo?' Sano thought as he ran inside.
Once they were all inside, they started at Kaoru in shock. She was no longer the sleeping beauty they just seen in the past hour, her eyes gleaming like amber and honey shining in the sunlight.
"Kaoru! You're alright? Here lie down. You're not well enough, just rest for a moment." Kenshin said with a concerned voice.
"Kaoru?" the smooth luxurious voice asked. Somewhat similar to Kenshin's own voice, attracting, no, demanding attention from everyone who heard.
When she saw Megumi, her eyes widened as she pulled out a short knife and lunged at Megumi. Kenshin was not prepared for that movement; he stared in shock as the knife went into Megumi's waist, below her ribs. Megumi fell back into Sano's strong arms, which were already reaching forward to catch her. Kenshin took this moment and seized Kaoru's hands and tied them up.
"Sessha is very sorry, but we must hold you still Kaoru, until you can stay calm."
Once again, the honey eyed Kaoru asked, "Who's Kaoru? I'm Mutsuko."
A/N so far all my stories have been at a fast pace, and rushed, so I'm trying to slow this one down. Tell me if it is getting too slow and boring. I'll try to fix it right away. Honey eyed girl is Mutsuko. Kenshin still doesn't know why Mutsuko is there, and when he finds out, how is the nonchalant rurouni going to act? What will Kenshin do? Dilemma that I haven't figured out yet. O and also, what does Mutsuko have against Megumi?
