Hey guys like the thingy wasn't working so I just kept writing so if your wondering why like 4 chapters showed up, there is a reason…..

Well here is the next chapter……….

Sano POV

What the….how the heck did I end up here? All I remember is…aw dang, that little twit trapped me! And I fell for it!

"No you rooster you were just stupid enough to fall for it!" Megumi sarcastically said

"Megumi? What, I thought you were in Tokyo? How are you…is this a dream?" Sano sad stupidly

"No you moron! I was kidnapped yesterday. I was here in Kyoto with a clinic that needed some help, and this is what I get for not watching my back." Megumi said with smoke coming out of her ears.

"Are you alright fox? I mean, your not hurt are you?" Sano asked with a caring tone in his voice

"Yeah, I have a scrape on my hand but that's minor, are you okay, I mean you were out of it for about an hour. And you snore, really loud." Megumi snickered

"Oh thanks, just when I thought you had a nice bone in ya." Sano replied

"Where are we?" Asked Sano

"We are in Mamoru's mansion, or more likely an old room that is bared in from all directions, the only way in and out is through that door. And it's locked." Megumi said sadly

"Oh, oh no, the others! They are still out there!" Screamed Sano

"No, there not, they were captured to. At least I know Misao is, I heard her screaming voice before you came in. And Yahiko as well but I don't know about Aoshi or Sir Ken." Megumi said

"So everyone is captured. Wait, Aoshi was captured? How? Isn't he like a ninja? Ninja's don't get captured? At least he doesn't!" Yelled Sano

"Well there is a first for everything now isn't there." Megumi answered

"So, we are stuck here?" Asked Sano

"Yeah." Replied Megumi

"Great." Sano said as he sat down waiting.


Misao POV

"HOW DARE YOU! UNHAND ME YOU BAFFON! YES YOU! YOU LET ME GO! I WHEN I GET OUT OF HERE I AM KICKING YOUR BUTT FIRST DO YOU HEAR ME!" Screamed Misao

"I think everyone heard you." Said a voice

"And you are you?" asked Misao ready to fight if this dude got on her nerves. But when he got out of the shadows, the man she saw, she would never fight, for it was Aoshi.

"Lord Aoshi! What are you doing here?" asked Misao in a surprised voice

"I was captured just as you were." Replied in annoyed voice

"Oh. I am sorry." Said Misao sadly

"So, what are we going to do?" she asked

"Wait." He said

"Oh. I don't like waiting." She replied

"Yes, I know." He answered in bored and yet sad tone

"So, how long ya been here?" She asked and never was there silence for she kept on talking. Annoying Aoshi every second.


Yahiko POV

YOU STUPID DUDE! I AM GONNA KICK YOUR BUTT!

God I am bored. They like won't even look at me or something. I mean when you call a man a mama's boy I think you should get some kind of reaction?

So far I have heard Misao's screaming voice. And Sano's. And I guess since I think Misao doesn't talk to her self I think Aoshi is in there too. And I hears Ms. Megumi's voice so that means…I am the only one without a person. Gosh, stupid kidnap people.

YOU HEAR THAT MAMA'S BABY! YOU WANT MAMA? WELL I'M YOUR DADDY SO LET ME SLAP SOME SENSES INTO YA!

Oh that made you move eh?


Regular POV

"Why didn't you just stay in Tokyo? Why did you come after me? I didn't want to be followed." Kaoru said angrily

"We missed you, I missed you! That's why I followed you! And if you don't want me here than go away and let me talk to Kaoru!" Kenshin screamed

"I want to see Kaoru, not The Raven." Kenshin requested

"Well you can't get what you always want, now can you. Now do you want to save your friends or not, I could care less." Kaoru said unemotionally

"Yeah, let's go." Kenshin said


Kenshin POV

Kaoru, why are you hiding behind the Raven, are you scared to see me? Are you so scared that you need your other half to protect you. I would never hurt you, neither if you. But if we plan to fight Mamoru, I guess we will need our other halves.

I remember my promise Kaoru, I'm gonna marry you when this is over. I am going to make you my wife. I am going to love you.

Kaoru POV

God, I am so stupid, why am I hiding? Why are you a defense mechanism! Why can't I face you Kenshin? Why?

Because you are scared of what he might say

Because you are afraid of what is to come

Because you are weak and you need me there to help fight your fights.

Because you can't stand that you know that you did something wrong.

Am I really scared? Am I really afraid of him? Have I been afraid for the last year, afraid of what would happen if I saw him? Of what he might do? What I might do?


Regular POV

"I'll take the left wing, you take the right. Is that clear?" Kaoru ordered

"Crystal." Kenshin said smugly

With Sano and Megumi

"So do you think they are coming for us?" Sano asked

"Who is coming?" Megumi asked

"Um, don't you know?" Sano said surprised

"How do you know that Kenshin isn't captured too?" Megumi replied

"Um…I don't." Sano said defeated

"So I guess that means me freeing you would be of complete surprise?" Kenshin said

"Kenshin! You're…!" Sano stuttered

"Ms. Megumi, what are you doing here I thought you were in Tokyo?" asked Kenshin

"Well that's for another time!" Megumi breathed as they ran to find the rest of there friends.

"YOU STUPID "BOY" COME AND FIGHT ME!" Yahiko screamed

"That's it! You are on my last nerve kid! I hope you aren't as annoying as you are now in HELL! Die bo…!" the guard said as his last word was cut of by the sound of a blade being sliced through him and the other guard, there wasn't even time to scream.

"Who's there?" Yahiko said scared

"Oh, now you're a shy boy, and here I could hear your rants all the way down the hall." Kaoru said sharply

"Kaoru! It's you!" Yahiko said happily

"Yeah, it's me." Kaoru said unemotionally

"Where are the others? I mean there were…" Yahiko asked

"Kenshin is looking for them, look, we are on a time limit and unless you want the rest of them to die, I suggest you shut up and run." Kaoru barked

"Oh, you're not Kaoru, at least not the girl I know." Yahiko said sadly knowing that the Kaoru he knew as his sister was being hidden by the hitokiri he saw now.

"So, yeah, I think that being kidnapped is the most stupid…" Misao babbled as she was suddenly cut off

"Misao, listen." Aoshi sad quickly

"What I hear nothing?" Misao said confused

"Exactly, shouldn't there be footsteps of guards or talking, there is nothing. Nothing but silence." Aoshi explain

"Correct, they all died." Kaoru answered

"KAORU! WE FOUND YOU!" Misao yelled

"Actually, she found you." Yahiko said smartly

"Yahiko, oh you're alive! And here I thought they would kill you first for your big mouth." Misao said

" Me, a big mouth, I could hear you al the way from where I was!" Yahiko fired back

"Shut up! We need to find Kenshin and the others and then you need to get out of Tokyo." Kaoru ordered

"No, we know you are going to fight and we aren't leaving without you!" Misao screamed.

"Yeah!" Yahiko replied as well

"As you wish Kamiya." Aoshi said

"WHAT!" Misao and Yahiko screamed

"We will leave after we see that you and your friends are alright." Aoshi suggested

"What a deal? I won't take it. You leave when I say so." Kaoru exclaimed

"We will see what Kenshin has to say about leaving you here to fight alone." Aoshi said

"So Kenshin, where is the rest of the group?" Asked Sano

"Kaoru is looking for them." Kenshin replied

"Kaoru! You saw her!" Megumi said happily

"Yes." Kenshin said

"Why aren't you happy" Sano asked worried

"When we find all of you, we are to leave Kaoru here and let her fight Mamoru….alone." Kenshin said solemnly

"Why did you agree to that!" Sano screamed

"Because it was that or you all died." Kenshin said defeated

"We could've of protected ourselves. Missy is more important, you should of…" Sano finished feeling like no matter what he said it would be useless.

"Let's go. After we find you all we are supposed to meet in the courtyard…ready to leave." Kenshin said sadly


Kenshin POV

There she was. Standing there like she knew what she was doing. How did it come to this. I am the one who is supposed to protect her. Not the other way. Does she know that she is beautiful? Does she know that I love her? The way the wind plays with her ebony hair. The way the moon reflects of her skin making her seem breath taking. Does she know that my heart is breaking because I am leaving her here to fight alone.

Does she know that once she thinks we are leaving I am rushing back in here to fight no matter what she says? Of course not. She has no clue.


TILL NEXT TIME READERS!
