Hello Readers!
Here is the NEW chapter!
"Finally we are alone, and here I thought I was going to be killing them." Mamoru said as he stood in his fighting stance
"You will do no such thing to my friends!" Kaoru said in retaliation
"Such spirit, I must ask you this because I did love you, join me my Raven, join me again and be by my side once again. Be on the winning side and…." Mamoru yelled but was soon interrupted by Kaoru
"How dare you…how dare you ask me this, after you try to kill me and my friends? After you kidnap them and then are about to fight me? After your threats to kill me, you ask me to be with you again? Mamoru things are different now, you are different." Kaoru screamed.
"Have you and I changed that much?" Mamoru replied
"More different than ever." Kaoru whispered
"Then let's not waste any time." Mamoru said.
"God lets go back! Kaoru needs us!" Yahiko yelled
"We promised we wouldn't though." Sano replied
"Rooster actually following directions?" a high pitched voice yelled
"O great, who let the weasel in?" Yahiko groaned
"I will have you know that this is MY HOME thank you Yahiko-chan!" Misao yelled
"Oh, I am not little you big mouth!" Yahiko screamed.
"Ok, kid calm down, now is not the time to be fighting with weasel; we need to think about Kaoru…and what we are gonna do to go get her." Sano said with a large grin on his face.
"Sano, you mean…but what about Mamoru, he said that he would kill Tsubame and Miss Tai if we came and helped Kaoru?" asked Misao
"We received word that Satio (I know I am spelling this wrong so someone please help me by telling me how to spell his name!) And his men apprehended Mamoru's men at the Akebeko" Aoshi said as he walked silently into the room.
"Aoshi-sama I didn't know you were still here!" Misao said surprised
"I agree with Sagara, we need to retrieve Kaoru." Aoshi replied
"Wait, where's Kenshin?" Misao asked.
"Where is Kenshin!" screamed Okina as he ran in gasping for air.
"We don't know, Okina what's wrong?" Misao asked
"A man, in town, he is looking for Himura, he is slaying the town, we need to get everyone and help!" He said gasping for breath with each syllable.
"Finally some action!" Yahiko yelled
"No, you must stay here and protect Misao." Aoshi said
"WHAT" screamed Misao and Yahiko both surprised at his request.
"But Aoshi-sama, I can fight, and just as well as Sagara or yourself! Why are you trying to keep me away from the fight? Misao asked shocked and sad and every emotion she had ever felt in one moment
"Because I do not want you hurt. So stay at the Aoiya and make sure that the rest of the Oniwaban protect the town…as the Okashira should….am I right Misao?" Aoshi said.
"As the Okashira…yeah…I mean yes your right. Come on Yahiko." Misao said with her green eyes still wide and surprised.
"Well Rooster what are you waiting for? Go and get that guy!" Yahiko said
"Sure thing kid." Sano replied
Kenshin's POV
Kaoru. God how could I have been such a fool to leave you there to fight Mamoru all by your self? …Wait what's that yelling?"
Regular POV
"Kenshin! Kenshin where are you man!" Sano yelled looking frantically for the ex-Battousai.
"Sano, I am here, what's going on?' Kenshin said as the screams from the town were increasing
"There is a man looking for you, we need to go, he is in the town now!" Sano screamed and hearing the urgency in Sano's voice they ran as fast as they could.
The Fight with Kaoru and Mamoru>
Hard breathing and the smell of blood filled the old abandoned mansion. Tattered clothing littered the halls, blood splattered on the old dated furniture. The rain from outside pinged against the window and drenched the rugs. The air was thick and heavy with the smell of rain. The two slayers stared at each other, both wounded and needing care, and blood flowing from wounds caused by each other, but none of this mattered.
"I see your side is giving you trouble." Mamoru grinned.
Thunder shook the home and the lightning streaked from the heavens. The sky opened up in all its fury and soon hail pelted on the already cracked windows.
"The only pain in my side is you, and I plan to get rid of it real soon." Kaoru said while clenching her teeth. Mamoru wouldn't know that she was fading and that she could barley see through her pained hazed eye sight.
"And how do you plan that my dear? Mamoru said waiting for her answer ready to retaliate with the flick of his tongue.
"By killing you." Kaoru said
"I would love to see you try." Mamoru said even though he himself was bleeding profusely from his thigh and shoulder.
"Then prepare yourself…dear!" Kaoru said as she lunged herself at him sword prepared to strike.
"You missed me!" Mamoru said as he whipped to the left.
"Did I?" Asked Kaoru as she saw his blood stain her already bloody sword
"I wasn't aiming for you heart, but mainly your arm" Kaoru said smugly
Pain washed over Mamoru's face as he dropped his sword for her sword had plunged into his arm. He could not even grasp his sword for not only the pain but she had cut his tendons to where he could barley hold his sword.
"You…bitch. I hope you die…" Mamoru said as he fell on his back slowly bleeding to death. "Yeah bitch, die." Kaoru said as she walked slowly toward the doors.
(Just to let you know there is a place in your arm where if you hit in that exact spot you die from blood loss. Total time is about 4 minutes to die. And real painful, just FYI.)
Kaoru POV
Kenshin I'm coming….wait for me…..
Kaoru fell towards the door leaving her bleeding shoulder opened even more staining the white walls. Kaoru stumbled forward and soon she succumbed to her wounds lying there in the rain halfway reaching the door before she fell unconscious.
Regular POV
"Weasel where are we going!" screamed Yahiko trying to out roar the rain.
"Aoshi said to go get Kaoru!" Misao said as she ran through the rain.
"I didn't hear him say that." Yahiko said confused
Yahiko POV
(Flashback)
"Because I do not want you hurt. So stay at the Aoiya and make sure that the rest of the Oniwaban protect the town…as the Okashira should….am I right Misao?" Aoshi said.
"As the Okashira…yeah…I mean yes your right. Come on Yahiko." Misao said with her green eyes still wide and surprised.
Where did he say go get Kaoru?
Regular POV
"Misao are you sure!" He said trying to make sure he hear right.
"Positive, now hurry up, she could be hurt and we are standing in the rain fighting whether he said it directly or not. And Yahiko have you ever hear of CODE? Misao screamed behind her as she saw realization on his face. And soon they were running together to go get Kaoru.
"Okay now be on your guard, we don't know if the fight is over." Misao said whispering unsure of her surroundings. (Which must be weird cuz a ninja needs 2 know there surroundings…lol)
"Right." Yahiko said as he tiptoed around the corner.
"Misao, come look!" Yahiko screamed
"Oh my god is it Kaoru?" Misao said with a worried voice
"No, it's that guy Mamoru." Yahiko said shocked at the sight of him.
"Look around, this place is a mess." Misao said even more worried because of not only the condition of the Mamoru guy and the place but at the amount of blood everywhere.
"Come, on let's find Kaoru and get out of here." Yahiko said scared for his surrogate sister.
"Alright I'll take the downstairs you take the up stairs." Misao said."
"Okay, call me if you find…anyone." Yahiko said afraid of what they might find
"No, I'll call you when I find Kaoru." Misao said trying to keep the hopes up.
Misao POV
There is so much blood, it's everywhere. Oh please Kaoru, where are you? Please be okay. Please be okay. Please be…oh God.
Regular POV
"KAORU! YAHIKO COME QUICK!" Misao screamed
"Kaoru, come on wake up. Wake up!" Misao yelled
"Ugly, oh gosh, we need to get her to a medic!" Yahiko screamed
"Come on carry her here and I'll get the legs." Misao said
"She's bleeding so much, what if she dies Misao, what if she..!" Yahiko said crying into hysteria
"Yahiko, she is not gonna die, if she dies, Himura is gonna kill US, so come on!" Misao said strongly and yet her voice spoke with uncertainty.
The fight with Kenshin and the others>
"What's going on Aoshi?" Kenshin said
"A man is looking for you, he says he iswaiting for you, he says he is taking away something special to her, like she did to him." Aoshi said bluntly
"Well Kenshin it looks like you have a new best friend." Sano said, but his joke fell to deaf ears.
"Battousai you have arrived, I suppose the block of ice told you that Kaoru killed my father, so I will kill someone close to her, you." Gohan declared (I know the name is from DBZ but I couldn't think of another name, so sue me…we actually don't.)
"What did Kaoru do to make you hate her so?" Sano asked
"She killed my father, my hero, my loved one, and know I will kill you her hero, her loved one, her savior. And when you die you will see my face as the last thing you will see in this world!" Gohan screamed
"I will not fight you." Kenshin said
"Kenshin, what are you doing, you have to fight him, he is going to kill you." Sano asked with an expression of are you crazy?
"You will not fight me, are you truly ready to die Battousai?" Gohan asked surprised
"Why are you going to kill me?" Kenshin asked
"Um, Kenshin he already told you why." Sano said
"Do you really want me to tell you again?" Gohan replied
"Are you sure Kaoru killed him?" Kenshin asked
"Am I sure, you fool, I am positive! She killed him on a warm night two years after she massacred the town of Osaka I held him in my young ams till his blood ran down my hands forever staining my hands. I looked into the face of my killer and saw death and uncaring eyes, she had no remorce for what she did." Gohan said painfully remembering
Kenshin looked up quickly "Are you sure?" Kenshin said with surprise
"Kenshin, are you okay, he already told you….like twice." Sano said.
"What are you getting at Himura?" Aoshi said
"Two years after the Osaka massacre? " Kenshin asked
"Are you getting oldand deaf Battousai? If so let me end your suffering
Suddenly Gohan leapt forward and drew his sword at Kenshin. In retaliation Kenshin drew his sword for his protection.
"Gohan, Kaoru didn't kill your father!" Kenshin said as he blocked a swipe towards his shoulder
"What are you saying, are you calling me a liar?" Gohan said as he lunged towards Kenshin with a thrust of his sword
"No, two years after the Osaka massacre Kaoru was living in an old abandoned dojo right outside of Osaka." Kenshin said as he tried to clear Kaoru's name.
"Well then who killed my father?" Gohan said as he shoved Kenshin into a wall
"Kaoru told me after she killed Mamoru she lived in an old dojo for about three years till she moved to Tokyo. Please believe me, for your own sake." Kenshin said as he struggled to keep himself alive.
"Then who killed my father?" Gohan said suddenly interested in the news
"I do not know." Kenshin said
"You try tell me Kaoru didn't kill my father and yet you have no one else to accuse of!" Gohan yelled getting angrier by the second
"Then why don't I try to clear my name!" Kaoru said struggling to stand leaning on Yahiko and Misao, her blood dripping onto the mud creating a color of rust.
"Oh God Missy, what he do to you!' Sano said as he ran toward her to give Yahiko and Misao a break.
"Kaoru, what are you doing here, you need to go to a medic." Kenshin said with worry.
"I was at the medic, but when I heard, I had to come clear my name." Kaoru said as she steadied herself and started walking toward Gohan.
"Kaoru what are you doing?" Yahiko asked
"Ah, the Winged Raven, have you come to see me? I feel touched. You seem hurt; did Mamoru hurt the little bird?" Gohan said taunting her
"I guess he did a little right before I killed him." Kaoru said menacingly
"So, you killed Mamoru, a fly caught in the web of what he was trying to do. Kaoru you just killed the first level. A level that needed to be destroyed anyways, so we the blood dragons thank you, by your confused face I see you don't understand." Gohan said
"What do you mean? I thought the Blood Dragons dissipated after the death of Mamoru." Kaoru asked confusion written on her face.
"We have more friends now in higher places, we created a bigger group, you could say." Gohan said
"So, you mean there are more of you?" Sano asked.
"Again we are only a first level." Gohan answered "And for my assignment I will kill you! I hope you suffer in pain like my father did!" Gohan yelled as he lunged forward.
Kenshin POV

Misao POV
What was she doing, she knew he was dangerous and yet she still walked toward him….wait where is Yahiko?

Regular POV
"KAORU MOVE!" Screamed Kenshin
"DIE RAVEN! Yelled Gohan as he positioned his sword toward her but suddenly some one jumped in front of her.
"YAHIKO! GOD NO!" Kaoru screamed as she fell with the impact of Yahiko falling on her.
HA HA HA! WHAT A CLIFFHANGER!
