Chapter 5

Missing

Sano awoke the next morning slumped over on the floor of the local bar, damn, thought Sano, Megumi's gonna kill me. He sat up holding his head in his hand as he shook Kenshin awake "Karou, cant I sleep in," Kenshin grumbled still sleeping. At this point Sano was on his feet and had kicked Kenshin in the gut. "ORO," he exclaimed, Kenshin getting to his feet grumbling about Sano's methods of rousing him.

"Come on ken, I wanna get home before my woman murders me," said Sano.

The two men exited the small bar and stepped into the vacant street. They walked in silence until they reached the gate to the Dojo.

"Looks as if the Karou and Megumi-dono are up," commented Kenshin walking threw the open gate and noticing the door to the dojo open.

Sano sighed I guess I'll take what's coming to me he thought approaching the door "Megumi look I'm sorr…" started Sano stepping threw the thresh hold. Sano stood in shock along side Kenshin the dojo was trashed, torn to pieces.

"Karou," cried Kenshin, "Megumi." There was no response and Kenshin went to search the house as Sano searched the out door area. The two men met up in the doorway ten minutes later "any luck," growled Sano.

"None," sighed Kenshin doing the best to hide his worry judging by the state of the dojo the girls where taken against there will.

"DAMN IT ALL TO HELL," roared Sano kicking the nearest object across the room.

"Sano," inquired Kenshin.

"Kenshin I just don't understand what could they want with her after all this time," said Sano in a shaky voice.

"They," asked Kenshin not fallowing him with this, "do they have Karou too?"

"Kanryuu," said Sano, "and I'd suppose so, it probably a trap but I'm not going down with out a fight!" with that Sano ran from the house and down the street Kenshin at his heels. There's no way he's going in there alone, not to mention they took my beloved…thought Kenshin as he ran down the street his long read hair glowing in the morning sun.
