KAORU-one week later

I looked out of the hotel window. The sun glared through it. Kenshin hasn't spoken to me since...since he last said 'Kaoru...I was to keep you from killing. I vowed it. It is my fault for allowing you to go by yourself. I thought you would be merciful and just blow it up'... I moaned out in frustration. Now, he just mopes around the hotel all day and won't even look me in the eye, much less stay in the same room. To make things worse, we haven't recieved a call on the locations of possible Umbrella facilaties since...since my killing spree. I felt my heart lurch forward and tears rip back into my eyes. No, I can't think about it! I curled back up into the fetal position and bit my lip. It wasn't enough though, and I went back into my panicky crying. All that blood..I've murdered all those people... in cold blood... I'm no better than my father's killer...The visions of each massacre came flooding back into my head, forcing me to remember. I began breathing even harder and faster when I realized that nothing could comfort or help me. Kenshin won't because he can't stand me anymore. No one else knows I'm here except Corithia and Kenneth and they only call us. I don't have their number and I don't have anyone elses...I dug my fingernails into my arms again and bit my lip, trying to cause enough pain to forget.

KENSHIN-meanwhile

I heard her cries. They drilled into me like a devious parasite. She is suffering badly. Worse than I did because she went against her own morals. I opened her door a crack, and saw her facing the window, curled up. Her breathing was shaky but she had finally passed out. Sleep seems to be the only comfort for her and only when she passes out from a panic attack. I closed the door and leaned up against it. I wish I could help her...I'd do anything to but she has to cope with this on her own. That and I'm part of the cause. I'll never let her do another mission on her own for as long as I live. Never. I felt a tear roll down my cheek. Wiping it away, I heard the phone ring. Walking over, I answered it.

"Hi there! How are you today?" I heard Kenneth ask. It's about time.

"I'm fine actually. And you?" I asked.

"Couldn't be better. How is she?" He asked. Somehow, they seem to know what all happens around here. Probably some kind of tracking device.

"Depressed. She isn't feeling very good at the moment. Did you need something?" I asked him, trying to get her off my mind.

"Yeah. I want to meet you at my office. My driver will pick you up in five minutes. Perhaps you should leave her there." Kenneth said and hung up. I sighed and hung up the phone. A mission has finally come up and she isn't well enough to even leave her room...no...I'll go. I grabbed a paper and pen and wrote down that I was leaving.

KAORU-hours later

I awoke sweating badly. It wasn't a smelly kind of sweat but the warm kind of sweat. I rubbed the gunk out of my eyes and sat up. I looked at my hand and saw blood under the nails. What was this from? I got up and walked to the kitchen to wash my hands. When I finished, I stretched out and yawned. How long have I been asleep? I saw a note by the sink and picked it up. Hm...it says...'Gone to a mission. Please get better and don't leave. Himura.' I reread the note. What the? Uh...okay...what in the hell did Kenshin mean by better and how does he know I'm here in Kyoto? Wait...where am I and why can't I remember the date? I scratched my head and shrugged. I walked to the bathroom and decided to get a shower.

KENSHIN-the next day

I found myself at the factory where Umbrella made their machines. In Germany no less. Such a beautiful country to be under Umbrella's threat. At least the plane ride wasn't that bad. My partner looked up at me and smiled cockily.

"So you made it through Raccoon huh? I heard you wouldn't have been able to have survive it without some chicks help. That true?" Saito asked. How many years has it been since I last saw this guy? It was back when I was still the hit...back in high school. He was my partner back then too, only there to clean up sticky situations. Kenneth just had to find him at the Umbrella factory in Moscow.

"She is a decent young woman, not a chick." I said, defending Kaoru. He smirked at me.

"Ah so the little raccoon fiend has you under her control again. I thought you were suppose to space yourself from her when you quit killing for the-" Saito said but I jacked him in his jaw.

"I told you never to speak of those days. Do not refer to Miss Kaoru as anything less than what she is or I'll shoot your fucking brains out." I said and turned from him. He laughed. Our other team mate, a kid named Yahiko, unlocked the gate. Also found in Moscow along side of Saito. Apperantly, he's Saito's new lapdog. The sad thing is, he only looks to be about fourteen. Yahiko picked up his semi-automatic rifel and led the way inside. Saito brandished his gernade launcher and walked up to the front door of the factory. I readied my .45's a took a deep breath in. Okay, all I have to do is protect the kid and make it out of here while Saito takes care of the important stuff. Sasito readied the launcher and blasted the door open. Yahiko ran inside and immediatly started clearing the room of its inhabitants. I stepped inside and took cover behind a table the had been blown on its side. I will not kill anything unless my own life is in danger.

SANOSUKE-meanwhile

I jerked awake from the cold table I was lying on. A huge blast echoed from somewhere. Uh...okay...whoa...the hell am I doing alive? A doctor ran up to me and un hinged the straps that held me down.

"Run. Let no one see you. Find a man called Anji. He will finish the job and you'll be fully functional. Run now." He commanded. I nodded and took off for the door. Whoa, hold on there...Why am I seeing in green and why can I sense heat and...ouch...my head hurts. Too much thinking. I saw a hidden trap door and went for it.

MEGUMI-meanwhile

I picked up the phone and dialed for Kaoru and Kenshin's hotel room. It rang twice and someone picked up.

"Hello?" I heard Kaoru ask from the other line.

"Hey there tomboy. How are you?" I asked.

"I'm fine. Well, except I don't know where I am or what day it is but maybe it's just my bad memory. How are you Megumi?" She asked. What!

"I'm fine. How are you coping with what happened on your mission?" I asked, probing to find out how she was doing. When I drove Kenshin to the factory from the airport, he said that she was in bad shape and was having frequent panic attacks and now she seems fine and cheery.

"My mission? What do you mean mission? Oh, my first S.T.A.R.S. mission? It got cancelled I'm afraid because every one in the Raccoon department got suspended over some controversy on the last mission. That's why I transfered. Wait, If you have my number, how did you not know that?" She asked, slightly confused. Wait, she thinks its still September! She still thinks she's a S.T.A.R.S. member!

"Kaoru, do you remember a creature named Nemesis and what all happened in Raccoon?" I asked, panicky. She may have something seriously wrong with her!

"Uh...nemesis? Doesn't ring a bell. As for what happened in Raccoon, the hell? You make it seem as if something bad happened other than the failure of the Spencer mansion mission Jill told me about. If you ask me, I think she needs therapy on that one." Kaoru said. She's forgotten everything! She probably had too bad of a mental breakdown that now she thinks nothing has ever happened! Unless, unless Umbrella put a chip or something in her to make her forget.

"Um...Kaoru, I'm going to have to let you go. Someone needs me right now." I said, lying. She said goodbye and hung up. I stood there with a phone in my hand, not knowing what to do. On the one hand, she have suffered a bad memory loss and doesn't know what has happened since September. On the other, maybe she souldn't know. Maybe it is better if she has forgotten it all.

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Haha!

Tealraptor: Wait! Sanosuke is back! But how! He died in Resident Kenshin when Nemesis crushed his skull! What in the hell!
