Chapter 4
Kenshin sighed and promptly tucked away his sakabatou under his belt. It had taken him long enough to locate his trusted friend.
'Baka... you should be more organized..Kaoru-dono is waiting for us...' Kenshin berated himself as he began to run towards the dojo gate. When he reached the gate, he didn't bother to open it but flew over it landing safely on the other side.
'I don't know where you are...but this one doesn't have a good feeling about this...hold on Kaoru-dono...'
Kenshin ran as fast as his feet could carry him towards the police station.

The cool blade pressed into her neck, and Kaoru swallowed nervously. "Let go of me."
The gruff man's hold on her tightened at her word's.
Across the room, the younger, kinder looking man smiled. "It's useless to struggle against my men."
"Who are you?" Kaoru bit out, struggling further.
"My name is Tasuki Uchia. Pleased to meet you."
"Yea," She rolled her eyes. "A real pleasure."
His eyes turned serious. "Shut up you bitch." And then he smiled again. "There will be no room for that attitude where you're going."
The girl to the right of Kaoru gasped out. "What's going to happen to us?! Where are we going?"
Tasuki's smile widened. "Ah yes, where will you be going? Well, I'm going to sell you into prostitution. That's what. Japanese women fetch a fine price on the market." He showed yellow teeth. "For years, we have been using this system to rope women in, and it's all their own free will to come here."
"Like hell it is!" Kaoru yelled. "You tricked us."
"There are definetly some pluses to this system," The man continued on, ignoring her, "All the women that come here, are the rejects of all women. They feel the have no chance for love any other way, because their loneliness has blinded them. That means, the less people I have to worry about snooping around for you missing women."
'Prostitution..? No...Never..NEVER...She had to get outta here!'
Kaoru began to struggle violantly against her man's hold.
"You---!" The man raised an arm and Kaoru took the opportunity to duck out of his arms and slam her elbow into his ribcage. She kicked her right foot out strongly to knock the blade from the man's hand then twisted around and kicked him in the face with her other foot. He fell to the floor clutching his face.
"I'll never comply to your wishes." Kaoru glared, and for a second Tasuki looked generally worried. How could such a small frail girl take out one of his men..?
Well, it was of no matter. He reached into his jacket and grabbed for the metal in his pocket. He whipped out the pistol and pointed it right at her head.
"Move, and I'll kill you."

Kenshin ran towards the police station, his heart beating hard against his rib cage. When arriving he didn't bother to knock but barged right in, immediatly heading towards the secretary's desk.
"Where is Fujita's office?"
The secretary looked up from her paperwork and pointed. "Third door on the left, down that hallway."
"Thank you." Kenshin breathed out.
She bobbed her head in acknowledgement and looked back down.
Kenshin headed down the hallway and stopped in front of the correct door. He knocked lightly and got no response. Frantically he pounded on the door. "Saitou, open up. Now." He said through his teeth.
Kenshin heard slow footsteps through the door, and then the door creeped open.
"Oh it's just you Battousai." The wolf of a man casually greeted him, cigarette in hand. "Do you need something?"
"It's Kaoru. She's gone. I need you to tell me where she is."
"And..?" The older man arched an eyebrow, prompting the legendary manslayer for further information.
"She got this flyer from a man the other day...said something about a matchmaker and--"
At that, Saitou threw back his head and laughed. When he finally caught his breath, he turned back to Kenshin. "Ah, so that Kamiya girl has finally realized your worth. Pity." He smirked, showing yellow teeth. "But that's not the point." His expression turning serious again. Saitou turned around and walked back over to his desk, digging through the mess of papers on his desk. "Ah, here it is." He picked up a paper and showed it to Kenshin. "Is this the one you're speaking of?"
Kenshin nodded, "Yes, that's the one."
Saitou reread the flyer and his eyes narrowed. "Tasuki Uchia, huh? I think your girl has got herself into some real trouble."
"What do you mean?"
"Uchia, a criminal we've been after for awhile now...shit, an officer had brought this flyer to my attention but I never stopped to read it." He looked up at Kenshin. "Battousai, there is an address on here, get there as fast as possible and stop him. I'll meet you later with a police squad."
Kenshin nodded again. "Yes. Thank you Saitou." And with that, Kenshin ran and turned, replaying the address over and over in his head.

Kaoru froze in her tracks, her eyes widening.
"That's right," He smiled once again, "I've taken the upper hand once again. Now, put your hands up where I can see them, better yet, take off your kimono."
Kaoru bit her lip, "No."
"Do it, now. Or i'll kill you."
She closed her eyes tightly. "No." Kaoru repeated.
"Then, Hayugi, grab her. Now."
Kaoru was then hoisted back up by the same man as before.
"Stupid bitch," Tasuki seethed. "Hayugi, take off her clothes, and rape her."
Kaoru gasped and began to struggle, but Hayugi was ready for her reaction and held tight.
"I tried to warn you Kaoru Kamiya, I tried to warn you that you wouldn't like me when i'm angry--"
"It is you who wouldn't like me when i'm angry." A venomous voice from behind him hissed. And then Tasuki felt something sharp in the back of his neck, poking him like a needle. Warm blood dripped down his back as he slowly turned to meet the source of the voice--
--and Tasuki was met with the most terrifying eyes he had ever seen.
