Nanakiyoda: I Only Own My Own Creations

Tealraptor: Oh.

KAORU

I couldn't see clearly who had said it but I knew it had been Jakentu. That's right, we both have to die because I told him to ensure it. I heard cloth rip and felt cloth touch my left eye. Kenshin's trying to stop the bleeding.

"Precious? Feh..." I said lamely. I heard a chuckle.

"In any case, I must eliminate you both. Otherwise, Umbrella won't pay me." Jakentu said on response. I looked up at Kenshin, who handed me the katana.

"I'm losing too much blood to be fighting." Kenshin whispered to me.

"Eliminate us both? Umbrella? So you're one of their losers aren't you?" I challenged out. Kenshin pressed the cloth on my eye a little harder, as if to cut off all the blood flow. He's going to stop the bleeding long enough for me to kill Jakentu.

"I'm no Umbrella Loser! I am the ultimate bounty hunter and you two top the list right now!" Jakentu yelled out and walked out into the open where I could see him. He was also carrying a katana, but it was at least ten feet long, the blade. I'm in trouble if I can get in past his blade.

"Well...you may be but with that blade being as long as it is, I can't help but think if you're trying to compensate for something." I joked at him. His face flared red and I could feel Kenshin trying to hold his breath from laughing.

"And you're just a girl!" He yelled out. I smiled and charged at.

"Like I'm some kind of freak? Take a good look at me because I'm no stereotype." I challenged again and Kenshin withdrew his cloth from my eye. I charged at Jakentu and slid across the floor to avoid the blade. I then sliced upwards and cut into his jaw. Jakentu screamed and dropped his sword.

"You bitch!" He spat and ran out of the arena. I stood up and smiled. Looking over to Kenshin, I saw that he was struggling to stay standing. I ran over to him and shouldered him.

"Come on, we'll get the little basturd later. You need some medical attention." I said. He nodded.

MEGUMI-three days later

They had finally arrived. Niether Kaoru nor Kenshin said anything about what had happened. The thing was, they both had stitches on newly made scars. Kaoru even wore an eyepatch over her left eye. The good thing, Kaoru has seemed to have gotten her memory back. Now, they were resting up for the next mission. I decided to try and change their minds.

"Kaoru, surely you aren't well enough to go on another mission." I stated in protest. She glanced over at me while she was checking her equipment.

"Megumi, I doubt that I'll ever be rested up enough to be able to do another mission." she said and moved to her .32, checking it's ammunition.

"Please. Kaoru, what about Kenshin? He's only going because you're going. I do not approve of him even moving around with those stitches much less going to engage in combat." I said. If she really loves him, she'll think of his health and safety.

"Kenshin knows what he is getting himself into. I asked for him to stay and he said he was going with me, no questions asked." she said and set her .32 down, turning to look at me.

"Then you should stay. He can't follow you if you're not going." I protested. She smiled at me and sighed.

"I know. This mission has to be done though. The sooner the better because in about a week, the laboratory will be fully operational and will start making the virus in such a high quanity that the whole world will be infected. Not only that but most of the villagers from the town down the street of the lab have disappeared with strange reports of vicious animals and canniblism. It's Raccoon all over again and on a smaller scale. I'm going to stop it before it gets worse." She said, determination lighting a fire in her eyes.

"Look, we've lost Saito. You and Kenshin are injured. That doesn't mean we are out of people. Yahiko and Yutaro can do it. Not to mention the seven others who are in reserve for times like these! Dammit Kaoru! Take it easy and let someon-" I started to shout.

"Megumi! You saw Raccoon! I can't let that happen ever again!" She yelled out and stomped out of the room. Sometimes, her temper gets the better of her and makes her seem like a brute when she isn't. Damn her stubborness!

KENSHIN-that night

I tried to relax completely in the bed but my stiches wouldn't allow me to breathe in too deep. I heard the door slowly open, then shut.

"It's about time you get some rest." I muttered out. I heard a sigh.

"Shouldn't you be sleeping?" Kaoru whispered as she gently slid in beside me. Yeah. I need as much rest as I can get for the mission in two days.

"Why were you angry earlier today?" I asked her, trying to get off the subject.

"I don't want you to come with me." she said. I looked over at her but she was staring up at the ceiling with her left side faceing me.

"I'm fine enough to-" I started to protest but she put her finger on my lips.

"No. I'm forbidding you to even protest it. You aren't going on the mission. You'll just get in the way and I'll have to not only watch out for myself but you as well. There is no way I'm chancing it. You are staying here and thats final." she said. What? She removed her finger from my lips and I heard her start to breath in deep and steady. She fell asleep.

OWARI

Nanakiyoda: Uh...

Tealraptor: Are you speechless again?

Nanakiyoda: Uh...

Tealraptor: What's wrong?

Nanakiyoda: Uh...

Tealraptor: Say something dammit!

Nanakiyoda: Uh...Choo!

Tealraptor: Ahh...gross! You blew snot on me!

Nanakiyoda: Hahaha!

BTW: I was thinking that when I grow up I should be a deaf mute.

BTW: Or something like that?
