Cruel Intentions

Chapter 2

Kaoru had gotten detention that day, even though she protested that it wasn't her that started the whole thing. But Mr. Saito, the principal, didn't want to hear it. From 2-3 that day Kaoru had detention. She was the only one that showed up. She read her books to make time fly and it did.

She left the school and started the 2 mile walk home listening to her music. Little did she know she was being followed by Megumi and her posse'.

Kaoru was so lost daydreaming to her music, that she didn't even hear a car horn beep. Kaoru turned her head. She sensed something wasn't right. When she turned her head, she saw 2 sports cars come into view. A red and a black. Sano, Kenshin, Aoshi, Misao, Tomoe and Megumi got out of the cars and walked over to her.

"What the fuck do you want?" she asked. "To take you out for pizza," said Aoshi. Kaoru glared at them. "Why?" she asked. "To apologize to what those two did to you," said Misao pointing over to Tomoe and Megumi who had their arms crossed.

Kaoru looked skeptically at them. "No thanks," she said and started walking away. Aoshi blocked her path. "Excuse me," she said. Aoshi stared down at the girl. "You're not excused," he said as he scooped her up in his arms bridal style.

"Hey! Let go of me!" Kaoru yelled kicking and screaming to get out of his hold. "It would be better if you didn't struggle," said Sano. "And why is that?" Kaoru asked severely pissed off. "So we don't have to use force," said Misao. "This is kidnapping!" yelled Kaoru. It was Kenshin's turn to speak.

He flipped his long red hair that was tied in a high ponytail out of his face to reveal a horizontal scar on his left cheek. "Yes it's kidnapping, that it is," he said in his deep baritone voice. Karou couldn't stand to look at that devil so she closed her eyes. "Looks like the bitch is afraid".

Kaoru had no choice. She was being kidnapped by them. Kaoru resisted, but that just gave her a slap in the face by both Tomoe and Megumi. "You had your choice to go willingly, now you're going to pay the ultimate price," said Megumi. "Give it to her good," said Tomoe. Megumi continued to slap Kaoru over and over again until Kaoru's face was red as an apple.

Kaoru finally passed out from the beating. "Take her," said Tomoe. "Yeah," said Sano. They all hopped into the cars and sped off into the country side, with an unconscious Kaoru with them.

When Kaoru awoke, she didn't know where she was. The place was all dark, like a dungeon. It reeked of death. Her face was numb from the beating. She tried to move her arms, but couldn't. Kaoru looked up and saw that her arms were bound by chains to the wall. "what the hell?" she said. "Yes, for you this place is hell," said Kenshin. Kaoru turned her head to his voice.

All of THEM were standing over a big black suitcase that was open on the table. What Kaoru saw inside made her breath catch in her throat. Inside there were blades of all sizes. Kenshin had a katana in his hand. Sano had a machete, Aoshi had a kodachi, Tomoe had a dagger, Megumi had a tanto, and Misao had a kunai.

"What are you going to do with those?" asked Kaoru. Misao giggled. "Silly, we're going to cut you with them," she said and advanced on Kaoru. Misao took Kaoru's right leg and carved her initials into her leg. Kaoru screamed in pain. All the others followed suite. A.S., S.S., M.T., M.M., T.Y. Then it was Kenshin's turn. He decided to carve his initials on her stomach instead of her leg. He lifted up Kaoru's shirt and carved his initials. K.H.

Kaoru could feel her blood run down her leg. Her stomach too. "Why are you doing this?" asked Kaoru. "To teach you a lesson," said Kenshin. "And here I thought that was the purpose of school," said Kaoru with some humor in her voice. Kenshin narrowed his eyes into slits. He then punched her in the ribs. Kaoru hissed in pain and couched up some blood.

"We brought you here to die," said Tomoe. "No one likes you and no one will miss you when you die here," she said. Kaoru didn't say anything.

It was all true. She was an only child and no one cared about her. Her mother and father died when she was only 2. She went to an orphanage, but when she 15, they just kicked her out for scaring the there kids. Since then she was on her own supporting herself. She had a job, had a home, but no friends or family to love her.

Kaoru drooped her head low. Her long black hair that was regularly in a high ponytail fell out into her face. She breathed deeply until she breathed no more. Tomoe and the others saw this but they just left her there, dangling to death. They didn't even check to make sure she was really dead.

"Good. The bitch is dead. No one will find her here," said Aoshi. "Let's go. I hear there is a party at the school," said Megumi. "Yeah let's go have some fun," said Misao jumping up and down. Kenshin looked back at Kaoru. "Serves her right," he said and left.

Kaoru had held her breath until after they left. When she heard the door click shut, she started to struggle until the chains broke. Her arms fell down with a clunk. "Now that was extremely lucky," said Kaoru as she went over to the suitcase and found a knife that could pick the lock.

She found a little knife and started to fool around with the chains. They broke off. Kaoru's wrists were bleeding but not that bad.

Kaoru stumbled over to the door. She peeked out and saw nothing but an old abandoned hallway. "This must be the old abandoned hospital," she said as she limped down the hallway. She looked around. She saw old wheelchairs, pieces of paper on the floor, water dripping from some sinks, and what looked like a very old bloodstain.

She managed to find a stairwell that led to a door. From the door led to outside. Kaoru left the old hospital behind her. She looked around outside. It was night, and all the streetlights were on. She saw the guard and rushed over to him. "Miss what are you doing here? This place is off limits," he said flashing his light into her face. Then he saw her. She was covered in blood and had scars on her leg. "What happened to you?" he asked.

Kaoru spoke softly. "Teenagers kidnapped me, brought me here, and did their own experiment on me," she said before Kaoru fainted into his arms. "We have to get you to another hospital."

Kaoru could hear voices around her. Her vision was blurry, but she knew she was safe. She heard sirens so she knew that she was in an ambulance going to the hospital. "Blood pressure is normal. Pulse is normal. She probably just fainted form blood loss because this girl is healthy as a horse," someone said. Kaoru smiled at this.

Kaoru felt herself be put into bed. She let herself go back into her dreams. Maybe this all was a nightmare.

Kaoru woke up the next morning. The sun shone brightly in her room. "What time is it?" she asked sitting up. "It's 9:00 in the morning. You're in Saint Memorial Hospital," someone said. Kaoru looked over to her side and saw a police officer. "Thank you for all you've done," said Kaoru. "It's our business and our duty to protect the people of this city. No please you have to do something for me:" said the cop.

He pulled up a chair and sat next to her. "Please tell me who did this to you so we can punish them," said Kaoru. Kaoru hesitated. "No," she said. "Why?" asked the cop.

"It's my business. Please let me handle it my own way," she said. "It's not illegal is it?" asked the cop. "No," Kaoru stated looking at the officer. "You'll get them when time is right," said Kaoru. "I guess I'll leave you," said the cop. He left the room.

Kaoru left the next day. She had a clean bill of health. Since she couldn't pay for the charges, the hospital let it slide. "Thank you," she said. "You've been through hell once. No need to go through it again with the bills," said the nurse.

Kaoru laughed and left. She had school now. She walked through the deserted hallways. She entered the classroom that she knew she had. It was the same schedule every day.

Kaoru knew that they were in this class. As soon as Kaoru entered the classroom, she got surprised looks from them. Kaoru stopped in her tracks. "What's the matter? You look like you've seen a ghost," she said as she gave her pass to the teacher and took her seat.
