Chapter 8
DC: I don't own RK...yada, yada, yada...
A/N: I changed my name, but you can still call me LaLa Rue! (It's La'Ruelia)
A/N2: I changed this chapter, which means I deleted it and reposted it. Hopefully I made it a little better, I fixed Kenshin and Elizabeth. Hope you like this chapter! (You probably wont!)
All you could here was the feint sounds of Kaoru's crying, between the three of them. Kenshin glared dangerously at Kiroshi. Kiroshi's hand was still in midair.
"Hey is anyone... home?"
Yahiko and Elizabeth stepped in, to find them silently in the hallway, and Kaoru crying. Kiroshi dared himself to put his hand down, and he, luckily, didn't trigger any thing.
Kenshin was lost for words. One part of him just wanted to grab his neck another just wanted to take care of Kaoru, and yell at him. But he wasn't sure what to do, so he picked the talking/yelling part.
"What the hell do you think your doing, touching Kaoru-dono?" He asked dangerously. Kiroshi backed up a little. Kaoru still rubbed her cheek. She couldn't think, the stinging wouldn't fade away.
"I-I didn't mean to! Honestly!" He said. Kenshin wouldn't move his eyes off of him. It didn't even seem like he was blinking.
"I should have left long ago! I just didn't believe you two were married. I had to know!" Kiroshi said.
"So what gives you the right to slap my friend?" Kenshin said, not noticing what he just said. He thought for a moment, and stopped. He tried to take back his words, but Kiroshi was already laughing.
"I knew it!" He yelled. Kaoru just now absorbed what Kenshin said, and hooked onto his haori. She looked up hopefully to him, but couldn't see his reaction, because Kiroshi was taking her away.
"Kenshin! KENSHIN!" She yelled. She tried to stop Kiroshi but his grip wouldn't let up.
Kenshin couldn't do anything... Nothing could change her fate now...
"Come on Elizabeth!" Kiroshi called. Elizabeth hesitated.
"Now Elizabeth! You are my servant, and we are leaving!" Kiroshi said. Elizabeth bowed toward Yahiko.
"I-I must go! Arigatou gaziamasu, for letting me stay here!" She said. She hurriedly went to Kiroshi's side. Kiroshi dragged the screaming Kaoru, and left the Dojo for the last time....

"SANO! MEGUMI!"
"Nani ka?" Megumi answered from her room.
"It's Kaoru! She's gone!" Yahiko yelled. Megumi jumped up. Sanosuke came from the sitting area.
"What do you mean she's gone? Not with Kiroshi?" He asked. Yahiko nodded.
"What happened?" Megumi asked.
"Kiroshi hit her, and Kenshin blurted it out! I couldn't come right after!"
"When did this happen?" Sanosuke asked.
"Last night!" He said.
"Why did Kenshin say that?" Megumi wondered. Yahiko shrugged.
"He won't come out of his room. Won't eat or anything!" Yahiko said. Sanosuke was getting ready to go over, but Megumi stopped him.
"Let me go talk to him!" He yelled, but Megumi looked up to him.
"He needs some space! He probably thinks it's his fault." Megumi said.
"Yeah and I'll go knock some sense into him!" He said. Megumi shook her head.
"Leave him be, just for a little while. He really needs to think on what he should do." She said. Sanosuke stopped.
"What can we do?" He asked. Megumi sighed.
"I'm not sure there is not to much to do, except wait." She said.
--------
Kenshin sat in room. He hasn't slept to much this past month and a half, and when he did sleep he had that nagging image of Kaoru.
'I need a break... A break from everything...' He thought. He was really serious. He looked at his sakabatou.
'Maybe this one needs to find Kaoru... By myself...' He thought. This came to him, as a very good break to him. He got up, and grabbed it. If he was lucky enough, he could leave without anyone noticing.
He opened his door, and headed to the gates.
"You aren't going anywhere."
Kenshin stopped. He really didn't want to face Sanosuke.
"I'm leaving." Kenshin started. "I'm going to find Kaoru." Sanosuke snorted.
"You're not going anywhere, without me!" He said. "I can't give up on Kaoru that easy."
Kenshin turned around. His eyes showed no emotion. "It was my fault. And I don't want you to get into trouble, in case something happens." He said.
"You're not going without me. I care about Kaoru just as much as you do, and I don't care if I get into trouble. I'll find a way out!" Sanosuke exclaimed. Kenshin didn't know what to say. His mind was fuzzy, and he really hated it.
"Kenshin! Kenshin! A letter from Elizabeth!" Yahiko said. He and Tsubame had gotten in just seconds before. Tsubame handed it to him, and Kenshin read it. His expression lightened up a little, and he read it aloud.
Dear Kamiya Dojo,
I tell you this in secrecy, so it won't be too long. Miss Kamiya has left from Aizu, where they were staying, and we can't find her!
Please use this chance to find her and save her from this man!
Elizabeth
Kenshin looked up. Sanosuke cracked his knuckles.
"Well why don't we?" He asked.
"If you're going, so am I!" Yahiko announced. Tsubame smiled.
"And if Yahiko-chan goes I'll stay here with Megumi-san!" She said. Yahiko glared at her, and Kenshin smiled. He put the letter away and said,
"Lets go on this journey, to find Kaoru!"
--------
"Bring Kaoru home safely! We don't want anyone to hurt her..."
"Yes Yoshimoto-san."
Kiroshi sat in his room, and smiled to himself.
"Kaoru shouldn't get far with my men after her. Soon the Dojo will be mine to keep!" Kiroshi laughed. Elizabeth frowned a bit, and continued folding some clothes. Kiroshi, after laughing, turned to her.
"Oh Elizabeth! I have something you must do, for when we meet Himura." He said. Elizabeth wondered if he knew about the letter she sent to them.
"Hai, Mr. Yoshimoto." She said.
"You are going to fight, for me. Try to kill one of them." He said waiving his hand. Elizabeth gasped.
"Bu-But Yoshimoto sir, they're my friends!" She cried.
"You have no friends. You will do this, or I'll personally do something to your family." He said. Elizabeth argued back, but Kiroshi convinced her that...
She no longer had any friends, if her family was at stake...

"Onegai, bring Kaoru-dono home safely!" Tae yelled to the three men leaving.
"She'll need to be check in case something bad happened. So bring her to me!" Megumi said.
"Be safe Yahiko-chan!" Tsubame said.
"Stop calling me that!" Yahiko yelled back. Tsubame giggled.
Kenshin, Sanosuke, and Yahiko waived, and left Tokyo on their search for Kaoru. Kenshin hoped something didn't happen, and was excited to see her again.
"Hey, you guys." Tsubame asked. Megumi and Tae and Megumi looked down. "If Elizabeth said Kamiya Kaoru, then does that mean she's not married?" She asked. Megumi and Tae smiled broadly.
"That baka doesn't know what's coming!" Megumi exclaimed. Tsubame smiled, but then thought.
"Wait if Kaoru turned twenty-two... then the will..." She said. Megumi smiled.
"Wow, Tsubame. Your on a roll!" She exclaimed.
"Shouldn't we tell them?" Tae said. Tsubame and Megumi nodded.
"Kenshin! KENSHIN! Don't leave!"

Preview:
"Have you seen a young woman? She has black hair, usually pulled up, and maybe is carrying a bokken?" Kenshin asked. The man shook his head, and Kenshin sighed.
"Have you seen a girl, that may armed?" Sanosuke asked a woman. The woman laughed but shook her head. Sanosuke sighed.
"Have you seen a woman that looks like a tanuki?" Yahiko asked.
"Hai, was she carrying a bokken?" The lady asked. Yahiko nodded that had to be her.
"Yes she went that way!" The lady said, pointing the opposite way from Tokyo. Yahiko thanked her, and ran to tell the other two.
