In the training dojo by the inn, Kaoru picked up a sword and swung it furiously, imagining the Battousai there, talking to Tomoe passionately. Anger welled up her and she slashed down the blade over Tomoe then slicing sideways to cut the image of the red head in half. But she wasn't done yet, nor satisfied. She pictured more and more moments between the two, cutting each of them separately, till she started to blush at the pictures she created. 'The relationship can't get that far, can it?'

Shaking the images out of her head, she then pictured the witch goddess. A new found anger boiled up in her. Charging, she started a cadence of assorted moves; slashes from all directions and dives and stabs; all aimed at one pail beauty. "You did this to me! You put me here!" The image ducked, and Kaoru cut sideways, seeing all the hair fly off. She huffed in satisfaction, seeing the witch loose all her charm and beauty, and threw her head back and laughed. She fell to the ground laughing so hard, that an observer from the sidelines got slightly curious.

"You said you didn't kill, though here you are laughing at whoever just died by your hands." Kenshin walked into the room and Kaoru picked herself off the floor, her face reddening from embarrassment.

"Oh they're not dead, or else I wouldn't be talking to you now, would I?" She smiled and propped her katana on her shoulder.

Kenshin cocked an eyebrow at her. "Should I be taking this as a threat?" He bent his legs and lightly grabbed the hilt of his sword, silently challenging her. Kaoru also took a light stance and lowered her blade to eye level.

"Whatever you want; you're still alive and I am daily compelled to strangle you. But don't worry, because of certain circumstances, neither one of us can hurt the other; so your life is secure for now Battousai." She smiles maliciously while propelling her self strait for the man in from of her. He stood his ground, waiting for her to get closer, when she dropped her legs and slid right underneath him. As he turned around, she was already swinging her blade at his chest. Bringing his hilt up just in time, her blade just merely missed his fingers as it hit, and he pushed her katana away as he jumped back.

"Since I don't have to worry about killing you, I won't take this easy." Kenshin jumped up to the ceiling, planting his feet firmly on the wood. Kaoru felt her body tingle, and as she brought up her katana in hopes to block any attack she notices her hands were blue.

'Great, thanks Witch, now I know how this is going to end.' She watched as Kenshin gave a push with his legs and was sent flying at her. He grinned wildly. "Blue so soon?" Kaoru heard him laughing as her vision blurred as she was sent flying across the dojo, right through the back walls, and right into the forest and into a tree. 'A joke? That bastard.'

Kaoru lied there, waiting for Kenshin to come and rub it in. Sure enough, he came running out of the whole she made and right up to her, still laughing. "Honestly, I didn't mean to hit you so hard." He offered a hand and she took it, if a bit hesitantly. He was still smiling when she was up right, and she noticed that his eyes were light, a dark lavender. Kaoru too smiled, honored to see this side of him; completely sure Tomoe had yet to see him like this.

"I hadn't had this much fun in ages!" Kenshin started picking pieces of wood out of her hair when a shrill whistle stopped him. It was an alarm; they were under an attack.

They both ran as fast as they could toward the front of the inn were the alarm was given. When they turned the bend of the building, they found countless men emerging from the forest and the women doing the laundry running off. The Ishin Shishi had yet to reach the front so some of the women were killed. Kenshin noticed an assassin advance on Tomoe and he frantically turned to Kaoru.

"Kaoru, save Tomoe!" She turned to him perplexed, then Kenshin hit her with his hilt, causing her to turn blue; he grabbed her by the arm and sky rocketed her right at the man. The blue Kaoru hit the man clad in black was knocked out by her weight, and scrambling to stand quickly, she marched over to where Kenshin was inspecting Tomoe for any damage. She raised her katana angrily above the man and watched as Tomoe's eyes grew wide.

"Kaoru, no," Kenshin turned when he saw Tomoe's expression and her uttered words, but as he faced what was behind him, a heavy force knocked him to the ground on his back.

"Oro!!" Kenshin, tinted blue, lay on the ground slightly paralyzed. Tomoe stared in shock at both her friends, then heaved a sigh and smiled slightly.

"Serves you right you pampas jerk! How dare you throw me like that!?" She hit him three more times for emphasis, grabbing him by his collar and shaking him. Suddenly, she stopped. "Oro, you just said oro?"

Kenshin blushed a bit, then his face turned hard and his eyes glowed amber. He bushed Kaoru to the side and blocked an attack from one of the assassins. "Take Tomoe and run Kaoru!" Kenshin yelled over his shoulder. The girls did as he was told, but were circled by men in black not to far away from were the forest started. Tomoe started to shake while Kaoru put her blade up in defense.

Kenshin heard some more fighting from afar and saw that the Ishin Shishi were started to push the assassins back. He glanced to where the girls ran off and saw they were surrounded. Quickly killing the guy he was fighting, he jumped up and landed in the middle of the circle, killing the man that was trying to fight Kaoru.

Silently, he mutter to Kaoru, "Please forgive me," and swung his blade at her abdomen sending her flying up on the roof of the inn, three stories high. One of the black clad men looked horrified at him.

"You just killed one of your own!" Battousai hooked an arm around Tomoe's waist.

"Now watch as I kill every on of you." Using her as leverage, Battousai swung himself around her, straitening his katana out so that as he passed each of the men, his blade cut each of their necks.

"Himura!" Kenshin heard his name and turned to see Katsura run up to him. "Here, take this map; there is a small house that is safe to go to. Leave now and take the girl. A messenger will come for you when I call." Katsura pushed Kenshin from behind to prove his rush. He nodded and picked up Tomoe, disappearing into the woods.

Hey that's only part one! Is it me, or is this chapter slightly funny??? Well, it's late and Christmas is soon! Only one more day!! Well I got to go to bed now and that's why im going to make this chapter into two parts cus I got to get up early tomorrow to buy more gifts!

SIDE NOTE—has any one ever gotten a 100 on their exams?? Well I did! It was so awesome! I also go an 87 on my biology exam, and it seems that out of the whole semester, I was absent for over 60 days! 20 unexcused and 40 PRCs. PRC is a room you go to when you're late. Once the second bell has rung, you can't get into class so you go to this one room were you do this really long packet and answer the stupidest questions. Its safe to say, that I've memorized that whole 4 page packet . Sorry for the rambling, I just felt I needed to tell some one. Heh I know conceded. But hey! Im really happy now that I got this chapter done! I don't know when I'm going to get the second part up but I hope it's soon!
