Princess of Kasshin 5

A/N: It's been a while! A really long while… sorry about that. I had this chapter almost done then it somehow got deleted which means this will be short. Well, here's the next chapter!

Kaoru was alone; she had no idea where she was or how she had gotten there or why she wasn't wearing any clothes. Squeaking she covered her body. There was a man standing in the corner of the room, which looked like a prison. There were candles on the wall illuminating her surroundings, especially her.

The man stepped closer and she remembered. He was the man who had kidnapped her! She stilled herself, never show fear.

"How long have I been here?" Kaoru inwardly praised herself, her voice didn't shake.

"You've been here for about four days; you have two more before you're dead." The man took another step forward. He was wearing a straw hat and had white hair.

"What do you mean?"

"I gave the Battousai a week to rescue you, two more days." Kaoru's eyes widened; would he save her?

The man took another step closer, "I told him I wouldn't kill you until the seven days were over but I never said anything about torture."

The man unsheathed a sword that had hung at his waist and brought it to Kaoru's stomach. Preparing herself she squeezed her eyes close as he sliced up.

Kaoru screamed; her eyes opened in pain and were drawn to the blood flowing down at her. She was quickly mesmerized. Looking down at the red liquid she licked her lips, the smell was enticing and the sight of so much of it caused something in her to boil.

Her eyes widened and she let out a feral growl; it looked as if a red film had covered her eyes. There was a tingling feeling from her wound and it was soon healed. Her canines grew to fangs and she grinned.

What looked to be a red shield covered her, contracting, and she was soon released; now wearing blood red shorts and a blood red tank top.

Jin-e looked at her in horror, what was she? Kaoru looked up at him, smiling. "Time for you to die."

In a flash she had used claws to slit his throat. Blood poled around her and she smiled, licking her claws.

She pulled apart the iron bars of her prison so there was enough room for her to escape. She sauntered, smiling playfully at the guards.

"Stop." They shakily commanded, drawing their swords.

Kaoru tilted her head at them, confused, "Do you wanna die too?" They visibly gulped yet didn't move.

"Oh well, more fun for me." She called for her magic to give her, her sword. She raised her arm so that her palm was facing up and a black sword appeared. Using incredible speed she cut off all of their limbs, making it rain blood.

She giggled as the blood fell around her. "This is so much fun!"

Kenshin smiled, they had finally found Kaoru. He hadn't believed in this love at first sight thing two weeks ago. He had been hell to everyone around him and felt bad for them for about five seconds.

They were outside of Jin-e's hide out and were waiting for the opportune moment to strike. Only the Oniwaban and the council were there, they didn't want anyone to know that Kaoru had been kidnapped.

A scream was heard from inside of the complex and it quickly died. Eyes widening; Kenshin signaled the charge. Since something was obviously going on in there they were hoping to surprise them by going through the front door.

The Oniwaban blasted the doors open with magic. Kenshin froze; the magic emanating from the building was wild and out of control. They entered the building, only to gasp. Blood covered the walls and ceiling, dead bodies littered the floor and in the midst of it Kaoru stood there holding a sword dripping with blood.

She stood there, bangs covering her eyes, "Kaoru?" Misao called out.

Kaoru slowly raised her head with an insane smirk on her face and eyes the color of blood.

Her smirk turned to a pout, "Aw, playtime's over." Kaoru said before collapsing, the sword disappearing.

A/N: A short chapter, but it was important! Please read and review! I update all my fics for my b-day!
