Me: I cannot believe that I am typing another chapter that needs more details than the previous especially now that I've hurt/bruised/damaged the joint of my fingers(more specifically, my pointer and thumb) by getting smacked in the face with a basketball. How did I do that you may ask? Well, I had just shot my own basketball and another one comes down and smacks me in the face while my hand was still by my face and my thumb got caught under my glasses and yanked up as a reflex. I am seriously am glutton for punishment. But I only do this for my devoted fans! A.K.A. you guys. (Hugs)

Ariel: Don't we know it.

Me: Yuppers! (Grins)

REVIEW RESPONSES! YAAAAAAAAY! I can stop now, can't I? Ah well. Happy Chrismahannakwanzaakah to you!

Spatial- Dangit, I hate Mary Sues! They ruin everything and they're no fun. No real character involvement or development. I HATE THAT! Why do you think I'm making Nikki the exact opposite of Kenshin? He's shy, she's outgoing, he's quiet, she's loud and annoying. Need I continue? Happy happy joy for you! You have your Mary Sue killing spork back! Now could I borrow it for some certain Mary SueXKurama parings that I must destroy? Puh-leeeeeeaaase?

Reignashii- Yes I just had to leave it at a cliffie. Actually, I didn't really consider it a cliffie but whatever. We all look at different things different ways. Hey, wow! That was a good one! That's going on my quotes list! Woot! And for the results of the battle, please see below. Thank-you have a nice day!

Evil-chan- That's okay. I tend to get carried away too. And people say I'm a freak for it. Ah well. And I like fighting scenes too, that's why I watch WWE wrestling. YEAH BABY! JOHN CENA'S THE BOMB! Heh, sorry. I know it's scripted...but it's still cool! I don't really care for hockey that much..but that's okay...I hope. YAY! I UPDATED! WOOO!

Universal Fighter- LOL. Then hurt them for me! They can't hurt me back because I'm all the way in Ohio and they're...they're...they're...wherever you live! Gosh! And do scare them. Why the hell is it so fun to disturb siblings? Ah well, I live for the thrill of it. (Begins moonwalking across her living room, which is where the computer is located) I should probably stop now, shouldn't I? Here's the next chappie that you've been waiting for! (Stretches arm toward a conveniently placed limelight...courtesy of Kenshin)

Me: Do not own anything! YAYZ! Er, sorta.


Lemme see, we left off where the battle was about to begin. Okay! Story Start!

On the roof...

"Sessha does not want to do this but you leave me no choice, that you don't." Kenshin charges toward Nikki with lightning fast speed and prepares to attack. He stops suddenly when he noticed that she was no longer in the spot where she was standing.

"Rule number one," Nikki says, in a deadly whisper, behind him, "Never let your opponent get behind you." She goes for a low sweep with her kunai which Kenshin easily dodges and he goes to strike her across the head which she blocks with the kunai in her left hand. Nikki stands up countering the force Kenshin is putting on her and the kunai and she wags her finger at him making a 'tsk tsk tsk' sound. This startles him a bit and he releases the pressure. Nikki throws him off of her and aims to hit him in the stomach and ends up meeting a sword to the side. She withdraws, shocked and out of breath, checking her wound. Kenshin looks down and notices just a small scratch on his stomach that could've been fatal if he hadn't hit her. Nikki brings her hand up and smirks at the sight of blood dripping off her fingers.

"Nice." she says, smirking at Kenshin, "I haven't bled for a long time. Your turn!" Nikki lunges at him and Kenshin doges it and aims for her side again. A clang rang through the darkness as katana blade met kunai.

"Not again." Nikki growls. She quickly moves and manages to stab him in the thigh with her other kunai. Kenshin reels back in pain and drops his katana. What he didn't realize was that he was right at the edge of the roof. Nikki, who was finally feeling the effects of losing so much blood, stumbles her way over to Kenshin, her kunai pointed at his throat, all out of breath.

"Toodles." she says and with that, she pushes him off. Nikki leans over the edge, looking for his body but something was wrong...it wasn't there. She stiffens up when she feels something pointy at her back.

"Rule number one," Kenshin growls, quoting Nikki, "Never let your opponent get behind you. I suggest you drop the kunai, that you should." Recognizing defeat, Nikki unwillingly drops the kunai, faces Kenshin, and gets down on her knees as a sign of submission.

"Go ahead, kill me." she tells him. Kenshin points his sword at her neck.

"Sessha does not want to kill you, that he doesn't."

"Do it." she growls. Kenshin sighs and raises his katana. He bring it down and-(You people just wanna kill me...don'cha?)

In the alley...

"Well it seems we're in a bit of a predicament, aren't we?" Soujiro giggles, "I make a move, you kill me, you kill me...Battousai kills you, Battousai kills you...Kaoru kills him, Kaoru kills him, and Kenshin will kill her like he has done to your friend on the roof no doubt."

"Who says he killed her?" Kaoru growls.

"No doubt he has by now." Battousai removes his sword from Spatial's stomach and gets into an attacking pose, facing Kaoru. He charges at her and strikes at her. Kaoru blocks his blow with her sword and the pressure he exerts on her and the swords was enough to force her against the wall.

"Do not...underestimate...my girls." Kaoru growls. She pushes Battousai off her with strength she never knew she had and lunges at him preparing to strike. Battousai blocks it, amazed at what she can do. Kaoru never seemed like the person who would hurt anything, let alone be able to lift a sword(no feat man, swords are heavy. The salesperson at Busch Gardens in Virginia let me lift one because I had asked how heavy swords really were...and they handed me one close to a katana, and I dropped it only after a couple of seconds. My arms were shaking from effort it was so heavy. I am serious folks. The sword was cool too. I wanted it. T.T).

Me: Ahem, excuse my while I beat the crap out of my brother

5 min later...

Me: All done. Back to story!

While the battle on the roof and the battle between Kenshin and Kaoru was going on Spatial and Soujiro had to get their two-cents in as well. (Did anyone try playing The Ketchup Song (Asereje) during these little fight scenes? It's totally cool. If you have that song...do it. No seriously. You should.)

"So are you going to kill me?" Soujiro asks Spatial. Her grip on the dagger tightened.

"Not just yet."

"If that's the case...then I'll just have to kill you first." He unsheathes his sword and hits her in the stomach with the handle, causing her to drop the dagger from his neck and reel back in pain and to catch her breath.

"Dammit." Spatial growls, looking at Soujiro with pure malice, "You will pay for that." She charges at him with her dagger and he blocks it.

"You shouldn't try to fight me with that little toothpick." Soujiro says while putting on a cute smile. Spatial smirks and pulls back, making sure to stay a good distance away.

"Now why did you do that if you want to kill me? Are you finally scared?"

"Hardly." Spatial nods down toward Soujiro's feet, "Whatever you do, don't look down." Soujiro looks down and a bomb goes off by his feet. (Okay, a little note here. These bombs are normal sized but they don't pack much of a punch. Spatial doesn't want to blow up half of Tokyo, she just wants to injure the opponent. Got it? Clear? Crystal. Toodles!) Kaoru looks over at Spatial and Soujiro from her fight with Battousai.

"Spatial!" Kaoru shrieked, blocking another attack from Battousai. Spatial shrugs and throws her a playful smile.

"I told him not to look down." The end of a sword(handle people, the handle. No one gets killed in this story (at least the good guys) they just get really big boo boo's) comes down across the back of Spatial's head and knocks her out. Soujiro catches her from behind with a victory smile plastered on his face.

"One down, two to go!" he says. Kaoru growls and shoves Battousai off her and charges at Soujiro. Battousai grabs her arm and throws her into a wall, causing her to dislocate her shoulder.

"Your fight is with me." he growls. Kaoru didn't hear him because she was trying to pop her shoulder back in place. She finally succeeded and it hurt like hell. Kaoru bit her lip to keep a cry of pain from escaping. She didn't want to show him she was weak.

"What's the matter, giving up already?"

"Not likely." Kaoru growls. Moving her shoulder around a bit to loosen it up, she picks up her sword and attacks Battousai again. He blocks it and grabs her left arm, twisting it painfully behind her back. (The left arm was the one with the dislocated shoulder) Kaoru lets out a scream of pain and tries to wriggles out of his grasp.

"I don't think so Kaoru dear." he whispers in her ear. This causes her to stiffen up and go to plan B. If wriggling free didn't work, this would. Kaoru drops her sword, making him think that she was giving up. Battousai loosens his grip on her and Kaoru kicks him where the sun DOES NOT shine. He grunts and only tightens his grip on her again, causing her to let out another scream of pain.

"That was not very nice." he growls, "I was going to let you live, but just for that I won't."

"Battousai!" Soujiro yells at him, "We are supposed to only knock them out and bring them to headquarters, not kill them!" Battousai mutters a few profanities under his breath and hits Kaoru in the head with the butt (tee hee, I typed butt) of his sword.

"OW! What the hell was that for!" she yells at him. Battousai sighs and hits her in the pressure point and that knocks her out.

"Now we just have to wait for Kenshin." Soujiro tells him.

"-.- Wow Sou, did you figure that out all by yourself?"

"Shut up Batts."

Back on the roof...

Kenshin brings down his sword(the blade pointing at Nikki) and it narrowly grazes the side of her face, cutting off a few loose hair hanging by her face.

"I thought I told you to kill me."

"And sessha said that he couldn't."

"If you won't kill her Kenshin, I will gladly, again" Kenshin turns around and Nikki looks up past his shoulder. There was Enishi. Nikki's eyes widened and she stood up quickly, grabbing her kunai from the ground.

"Relax babe." Enishi walks behind Nikki, gently running his drawn sword across her neck. "If I wanted to kill you, I would've done so already."

"You already have once, so I figured, why not again this time?" she spits at him.

"You know him?" Kenshin asks, all confused.

"Did ya ever wonder how I became a ghost?"

"Hai, that I did."

"He killed me." Nikki glares at Enishi, each word dripping with poison.

"And I wouldn't have either, if I had known what a vixen you'd become."

"Cut the bullshit Enishi. What the hell do you want?" Enishi lets out a laugh.

"It is so cute when you're angry." he laughs some more when he hears a growl escape her throat, "Actually, I came here when I heard that Kenshin was here and I thought I'd do him off. Imagine my surprise when who should show up but the mafia bitch I killed 5 years ago."

"Mafia?" Kenshin asks, only more confused.

"It's none of your damn business who I am or what that means...Kenshin. Enishi, just go. You have no business here." Enishi laughs, yet again and hits her in the stomach with the end of the sword handle. Nikki grunts and falls to her knees clutching her stomach.

"Just let it be known to you, and to Kenshin, that I'm here and I'm after you." and with that, he disappears. Kenshin walks over to Nikki, who was still hunched over with her head bent down, and forces her to look at him.

"Sessha is sorry for what Enishi did to you, that he is."

"Why? It ain't your fault. So are you going to kill me or what?"

"Iei, Sessha will not. That was not Sessha's mission in the first place, that it wasn't." his fingers gently trail down from her chin to her pressure point, "Sleep well." He pushes down on her pressure point and she falls into his arms, completely unconscious. Kenshin smiles and places her kunai in their original place. He then picks her up and rejoins his comrades down below.

"It's about time." Battousai growls, "What took you so long?"

"Sessha had an encounter with Enishi, that I did."

"Did he do anything."

"Iei. He just left us with a warning. He seemed more interested in this woman than with me at the moment." Battousai nods, and without a word, they leave for headquarters.


Me: And R and R please! No cliffie this time...I think.

Ariel: Whatever.

Me: (popping wrists) Ow, ow, ow, ow, I shall get used to this soon.
