Hi all. I'm sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. I did my best but no matter how hard I try it winds up being about three weeks in between updates, guess that's going to be the norm. Well at least it's a long chapter for your enjoyment. Also just a quick note, the end of this chap is a bit violent. Ok on with the chapter...


Forever Mine




Chapter 8 - Hunted

Sano woke with a start, a steady banging beating a hollow tattoo in his ears. Growling at the intrusion he rolled over and covered his head trying to drown out the annoying sound and recapture the beautiful memory he'd been reliving of he and Megumi in their previous life. The last few tendrils of the dream blew away as the banging became more insistent and slowly his sluggish mind finally registered the fact that it seemed to be coming from the front door.

Giving in he growled again and rolled off the sofa just as the banging stopped. Glancing at the clock another growl erupted from his throat. Who the hell would be banging on Kaoru's door at ten thirty at night? Stumbling blindly into the foyer, a hiss of pain ripped from his throat as his big toe connected with the small table Kaoru had just inside the door. Oh someone was going to die for this.

Another round of banging started as he flicked on the light. Flinging the door open he suddenly back stepped as a small black haired woman pushed past him without some much as a by your leave. "What the hell..?" he managed as he watched Misao disappear into the apartment.
"Sagara-san is Kamiya-san home?"

Startled Sano swung his head back around and stared at the man still standing in the hallway, "Aoshi!"

Getting a hold of himself he tried valiantly to contain the smirk tickling the edge of his lips as he eyed the tall government agent. In all the years he'd known the stoic icy eyed man he'd never seen anything remotely close to the near scowl now decorating the normally stone faced man. It was quite obvious he didn't want to be here so this little visit must have been Misao's idea.

Motioning Aoshi into the apartment he peeked out into the hallway to see if the pounding had roused any of Kaoru's neighbors. The smirk finally won out when he saw a hint of red disappear into the apartment next door followed by the sound of a door closing. He wasn't the least bit surprised to see Kenshin interested. It had been a touchy thing earlier when he'd told him about Kaoru spending the night with Enishi. The ex-hitikori had actually gone full Battousai for a minute until he'd managed to get a hold of himself. But then again it could've been a hell of a lot worse if he'd told him about the fear evident in her voice when he'd talked to her, he'd prudently left that part out.

"Hey roosterhead, where's Kaoru?"

Scowling Sano flung the door closed and spun on her. "At Enishi's. What the hell are you doing here?"

Misao's eyes suddenly grew wide and she stalked up to him to poke him in the chest, "You've got to call her!"

Sano's scowl deepened as he shook his head and pushed past her heading back into the living room. Christ it was too late to be dealing with spastic females. "What the hell for? She's at Enishi's."

Flopping down on the sofa he flung an arm over his eyes and tried to dig up the will power to get through this conversation. Misao wasn't one who would let anything drop until she got her point across. Listening as she stalked in and settled into the chair across from him he asked, "Why do you want me to call her? What the hell are you doing here this late at night?"

"Kaoru's in trouble is why I'm here roosterhead!"

Dropping his arm to his lap his brow furrowed, "What do you mean 'in trouble'?"

Misao scowled at him. She knew he wouldn't believe her if she told him, "Aoshi tell him!"

A barely audible sigh sounded from behind him and Sano turned to look over his shoulder. "There has been some new information about the Triad organization Enishi wiped out." Stepping into the room Aoshi came to stand behind Misao, "He didn't get them all."

Sano's eyes narrowed in confusion, "What do you mean he didn't get them all?"

"There were two of them in Los Angeles setting up a new distribution line for the drugs they traffic. They didn't get back until two days ago."

"They're going to come after Kaoru I know it!" Misao screeched suddenly. "I told her she'd be killed if she stayed with him. You have to call her and tell her!"

Sano flung up his hands to ward off any more outbursts, "Whoa, wait a minute. Why would they come after Kaoru? She had nothing to do with it. Besides if Aoshi knows about them I'm sure Enishi does too."

Sano nearly smiled at the slight nod Aoshi gave him. Must be these two had already had this conversation. "Are they even in Tokyo Misao?"

Misao scowled at him and settled deeper into the chair. "No Aoshi says they haven't left Beijing."

"Then what are you so worried about? Kaoru's fine...trust me Kaoru will be just fine." he added more to himself than them. If these losers were stupid enough to come after Kaoru they would have more than just Enishi to deal with. Kenshin would more than likely paint Tokyo red with their blood should they even think of harming one hair on her head.

"But we still have to tell her." Misao added resolutely in one last attempt to get them to see the danger she was in.

Sano shook his head and pinned her with a hard look. "I'm not telling her. She already has enough problems as it is. Besides I'm here to keep an eye on her. Trust me she has more than enough bodyguards, some she doesn't even know about."

Misao's eyes narrowed suspiciously, "What do you mean 'some she doesn't even know about'?"

Sano stifled a groan. He shouldn't have let that slip. Rising from the sofa he head towards the door in an effort to end the conversation. "It doesn't matter. Right now she's at Enishi's surrounded by dozens of killers and when she comes home I'll be here so don't worry about her. She'll be fine."

He nearly sighed in relief when he heard her and Aoshi following. Now maybe he could get back to the dream they had so rudely interrupted. Opening the door he leaned against it as Misao and Aoshi walked out into the hallway. "See you guys later."

Starting to close the door it suddenly stopped and he peeked back out into the hallway. A almost inaudible groan rolled from his throat, "What?"

"Sano we have to tell Kaoru. Something bad is going to happen, I can feel it."

Shaking his head he gave her a half smile, "Trust me she is going to be alright. I promise you that."

Misao gave him a skeptical look and shook her head letting go of the door. "We'll see," she muttered as she headed down the hallway, with a nod Aoshi followed behind. Sano watched them until they reached the elevator then slipped back into the apartment closing the door soundly behind him. Rubbing his forehead he sighed, things were starting to get out of hand. First Enishi forces Kaoru to stay with him and now there was the possibility she'd be hunted by these dirtbags Enishi had missed. Could it get any worse?

With another sigh he pushed off the door and headed back out to the livingroom. Yes it would be worse if he told Kenshin. If he did that then the two who had survived Enishi's wrath would likely find themselves hunted by a force even they wouldn't be able to escape. He was sure Battousai would hunt them down and kill them simply to protect Kaoru. But that would be a very bad thing because right now Kaoru needed him here. More than anything Kaoru needed Kenshin here.

Settling back down on the sofa he flung his arm over his eyes. Enishi had crossed the line tonight and if this kept up it was very likely Kaoru would need protection from more than just two drug dealers and he couldn't do it all by himself. He had a feeling Enishi wasn't going to give up Kaoru easily.

Kenshin needed to be here.

oooooooooooooooooo

Kaoru yawned and slipped from the elevator without even a sideways glance at Enishi and headed straight for her room. Closing and locking the door behind her she leaned against it and sighed. She’d tried in vain to get him to take her home the whole way back from the club. She'd even seriously toyed with the idea of jumping out of the car and walking home but she'd scratched that idea immediately. He would just send someone after her so what was the sense. What really confused her was that he wouldn't tell her why she couldn't go home. He simply said it was for her own good that she had to stay tonight. Something was seriously wrong with that, there was nothing that could hurt her at home especially with Sano there. Another thing that worried her was that she hadn't seen Gein all night. He was always one of the men who accompanied them whenever they were in public but for some reason he'd been absent tonight and that she knew was not a good thing.

And then it hit her, the thought sending a sliver of fear whispering down her spine. Enishi wouldn't do that would he? But that might explain why he wouldn't let her go home. Pushing off the door she flew across the room to the phone. Flicking on the light she dialed in her home number and waited impatiently for Sano to answer. She would never forgive him if he hurt Sano, never. Fighting back the tears burning her eyes she counted the rings. One... two... three... her heart fell to her feet as the phone rang two more times and then finally Sano's sleep scratchy voice filled the earpiece.

"Hello?"

A great weight lifted from her shoulders as one lone tear escaped the corner of her eye, "Sano?"

"Kaoru? Where are you? What time is it?"

Brushing the wetness from her cheek Kaoru chuckled at his confusion. Maybe she should have just left him alone. "I'm at Enishi's and it's eleven thirty."

"Oh.." there was a long pause and then he came back on his voice much more alert, "Why are you calling so late? Is everything ok?"

"Yes...yes everything's ok. I just...I wanted to make sure everything was ok there." Kaoru said in a small voice. Maybe this hadn't been a good idea. She was proven right when Sano answered suspiciously, "Why wouldn't it be ok?

"No reason." She answered distantly. Damn she should have known better, Enishi wouldn't hurt him if only because she would never forgive him. "I'm sorry for waking you up. I just had this feeling something was wrong there but I should have known better." She added lightly hoping he would give up. Unfortunately she wasn't that lucky.

"You're lying Kaoru I can tell. You've always sucked at lying."

Kaoru sighed, "It's nothing really, just my overactive imagination again." Yawning she fought the overwhelming rush of exhaustion that swept over her. "I have to go. I'll see you in the morning ok?"

A pause met her statement and then, "Alright... but I still don't believe you."

"Whatever roosterhead," she chuckled. "Goodnight Sano."

"G'night."

Kaoru hit the off button and dropped the phone on the bed. She should have known better, Enishi may be a killer but he would never hurt someone she loved, of that she was sure. Shaking her head at her overactive imagination she rose and slipped off the kimono. Gently laying it on the chair before the dressing table she opened the top draw and withdrew a sleeping yukata.

Slipping into it she let down her hair and shuffled back over to the bed. With a sigh she dropped into bed and pulled the covers up to her chin. Well she had made it through dinner and the club, it actually hadn't been too bad except for the obvious rift between her and Enishi. That and the fact that he wouldn't leave her alone for a minute. He'd even had one of his thugs follow her whenever she was going to be out of his sight tonight. Sighing again she reached over and flicked off the light then snuggled deeper into the blankets. Kami what had happened between them? She missed the old Enishi. He used to be so much different a year ago.

Everything had been almost fairytale like between them the first year they'd been together. So much had changed in such a short time. When she'd worked at Tae's those first few months they'd been together he would stop by almost every day for a late morning breakfast and then kiss her about senseless just before leaving. Then he would turn around and be right back in the afternoon to pick her up to take her out to some small out of the way restaurant for dinner before dropping her off at home only to repeat the ritual the next day. As the days had passed she'd lost more and more of her heart to him.

For the longest time she'd been able to forget that he was head of the yakuza and simply see him as the man behind the title but then things had slowly begun to change. At first it had been little things, like the time he'd come to Okinawa and demanded she come home with him. That time she'd chalked up to his dislike of Sano but then came the day he'd threatened to kill Shinji for simply having lunch with her. That had been the day she'd realized that he didn't want her near anyone other than himself or his lackeys.

Then the unthinkable had happened, Tomoe had been killed. Ever since that day he was always there watching her. If not him then Gein or that little weasel Hei Shin shadowed her never leaving her alone. He had successfully stolen her freedom.

Shaking her head she felt the chains wrap around her again. This was getting to be too much, maybe it was time to break away from him. But would he let her leave? She was starting to think he wouldn't, not now. Misao was right he truly thought of her as a possession, one he could keep chained no matter how she felt about it. It hurt to think he saw her as one of his pawns, to be used and displayed as he saw fit yet never completely free.

Closing her eyes she shoved the depressing thoughts from her mind. That couldn't be true, he couldn't be that heartless. Maybe tomorrow things would look different, maybe tonight had simply been him overreacting to something she didn't know about. Nodding to herself she tried to force her mind to accept the rationalization but deep down she knew it wasn't that easy. Nothing ever was. Rolling to her other side she grabbed the other pillow and buried her face in it. Tomorrow would be a better day...it had to be.

Slowly everything faded as she finally succumbed to the exhaustion pulling her down into sleep. Slipping peacefully into her dreams one last image flashed before her eyes before fading into the darkness. An image of the man with fiery red hair, the scent of sakura blossoms filling her nose.

A gentle breeze blew across the meadow picking up the clean scent of the river as it passed to playfully tug at her hair. Several strands pulled loose from the blue hair ribbon to tickle her nose causing a sneeze to bubble up and escape. Tucking the wayward locks behind her ear she continued to watch the water pass sluggishly the air filled with the scent of newly growing grass and blooming sakura trees.

Glancing around Kaoru marveled at the peacefulness of the scene. The meadow beyond the river swayed in the warm air, the river moving slowly towards some unknown destination. The world around her was empty except for the few birds twirling playfully in the updrafts just above her head, their music calling to something deep in her soul. Turning her face up into the sunlight she closed her eyes and smiled. Here she could forget about Enishi and the rest of the world and simply enjoy being alive. If only life could be this peaceful.

Suddenly a shadow fall over her blocking out the warm rays. Slowly sliding her eyes open her breath caught as she met the curious violet gaze of the red headed man of her dreams.

"Kaoru-dono?... Why are you here? I told you I would be back when I finished with Jin'e."

Kaoru just stared, his voice hitting a chord deep in her soul, the sound sending shivers along every nerve in her body. Trying valiantly to ignore the increase in her heartbeat she nearly groaned as she was once again hit with the almost overpowering need to touch him.

Fisting her hands to keep from reaching out she took a deep breath to settle herself and tilted her head curiously, "How do you know my name?...Who
are you?"

oooooooooooooooooo

Kenshin could only stare at her confused, the breeze catching his fiery locks and tossing them across his face. What did she mean? She knew him. And then slowly it dawned on him, this wasn't a memory...this was really her. Could it be true, was she here of her own free will?

Reaching out he gently brushed his fingertips against her soft skin and smiled. Yes she really was here and yet she wasn't afraid of him. A heady lightness filled his entire being at the open curiosity in her gaze. She truly wanted to know him.

Leaning down he watched her eyes grow wide as he neared her lips. Stopping just before they met he whispered, "I know all about you my sweet Kaoru and soon you will know me." Leaning even closer his lips barely touched hers, "Can you feel it. Deep down we are connected. Let that feeling guide you to me."

Kissing her lightly he straightened back up and smiled at the blush creeping up her neck. Fighting the desire to grab a hold of her he started to turn away. He stopped when a small hand wrapped around his wrist.

"Don't leave...not yet."

Startled Kenshin glanced over his shoulder. His heart squeezed at the curious yet saddened look darkening the sapphire eyes he loved so much. Fighting the nearly overpowering urge to touch her he shook his head, "I can't stay...not yet."

A sudden crash echoed through the dreamscape and Kenshin frowned as everything began to fade. Loosening her grip he twined his fingers with hers in hopes of keeping her here for just a few moments more. But unfortunately it wasn't to be as he watched her shimmer and fade. Tightening his hold he strengthened the bond through the contact as he drifted up out of sleep.

Opening his eyes to the darkened livingroom he couldn't stop the smile blossoming on his lips, his fingers tingling slightly from the contact. He hadn't caused as much damage as he'd thought. He still had a chance, he would have her in the end. Not even Enishi could stop him now.

Shaking off the last vestiges of the dream he glanced around searching for the source of the loud crash. Not seeing anything at first glance he pushed off the sofa and froze as his eyes fixed on the shattered vase in front of the partially open sliding glass door, the small shards glittering in the moonlight. And then he heard it, the ever so slight sound of someone breathing and then a dull thud as the bullet left the silencer.

Diving to the side he hissed as the bullet grazed his arm, instant fire burning down his arm. Rolling to his feet he ducked behind the chair searching the darkness for his attacker. Scanning the shadows he finally saw the outline of a figure in front of the wall of weapons but as soon as he saw the shadow it was gone. Closing his eyes he opened up all the rest of his senses to locate his enemy.

There, three feet to the left.

With godlike speed he flew out from behind the chair towards his sakabatou. Another thud thumped in his ears and then a burst of pain exploded in his right shoulder. Grabbing a blade from the wall he hit the floor and shook off the sheath. Falling into a crouch he leaned heavily against the wall and clenched his teeth. How the hell did he manage to get hit? Was he getting slow in his old age? Stifling a groan he gripped the wound and took stock of the situation.

Right now his enemy had the advantage due to the darkness and his gun but if he were able to get the light on the odds would even out, at least somewhat. Yes, what he needed right now was light. Both of them would be temporarily blinded but if he could incapacitate his enemy at the same time then he would have the precious seconds he would need for his eyes to adjust to the light.

But how could he incapacitate him? And then it dawned on him, well he was sitting in front of a wall of weapons. Mentally taking inventory of what he had and where it was placed a plan slowly started to form in his mind. Working out the last details Kenshin wiped the blood from his hand and reached up to grab a dagger from the wall. Twisting the hilt in his hand he estimated the distance to the light switch. Six feet dead ahead, but where was his enemy?

Scanning the room he saw a slight shadow moving against the wall off to the left. So he thought to come up behind him did he? Smirking Kenshin closed his eyes and listened for the light footsteps of his enemy.

Fixing the location and speed of motion in his mind he sprang for the light switch and simultaneously flung the dagger at his attacker. Another thud sounded in the quiet of the apartment and Kenshin heard the hiss as the bullet passed his head and then a grunt of pain came from across the room. Grinning he hit the switch with his fist and fell into a crouch behind the sofa, well at least he hadn't lost his touch. Blinking his eyes several times the room slowly began to come into focus. Now all he had to do was get to his enemy. So far he'd used three bullets that meant he likely only had three more left.

Rolling his abused shoulder trying to ease the pain he inwardly shrugged, it really didn't matter how many his attacker had left as long as he didn't hit him in the head or the heart, only that would kill him. Glancing around the edge of the sofa to locate his enemy he was taken aback when his eyes lit on the person who seemed to want him dead.

Narrowing his eyes he stood and advanced on the man kneeling on the floor trying to pull out the dagger embedded in his thigh. "Why are you here?"

Gein scowled and gave one final tug wrenching the blade from the bone as he brought the gun up. Flinging the blade away he stood and met his target head on, "The boss wants you dead. I'm here to do the job." Smirking he added, "I told you I would kill you."

Kenshin's fist tightened around the hilt of his sakabatou, his shoulder throbbing to the beat of his heart. Taking another step forward he watched as the man aimed dead for his head. "You can try but you will not succeed."

Gein's smirk turned into a half smile and he pulled the trigger.

Kenshin ducked and dove at him slamming the edge of his blade hard into his chest, the scent of blood suddenly filling his nose. Sliding it down to move the blade out of the way he let his momentum continue to carry him forward and he slammed his abused shoulder dead in the middle of his attacker's chest. With a crash both of them went down the gun hitting the floor skidding out of reach.

Picking himself up he grimaced as a fresh shot of pain ripped down his arm, his shoulder objecting to the added abuse. Glancing at his enemy his eyes suddenly widened in surprise when he saw the gash cut across his chest. Glancing at the bloody blade in his hand he almost laughed at the complete irony of the situation. He hadn't grabbed his sakabatou, he'd instead grabbed the blade that had killed Enishi so long ago.

Kenshin's smile faded away as he slid his eyes back to the man on the floor. Leveling the dripping blade at the man's neck he asked, "Why does Enishi want me dead?"

Gein ignored the threat and shoved the blade away. Pushing to his feet he clenched his teeth as a wave of nausea washed over him. In all the years he'd worked for Enishi neither bullet nor blade had ever touched him but somehow this little man had managed to hit him. Glaring at the man before him he smirked, "You touched his woman. He doesn't take kindly to those who think to take what is his."

Kenshin's vision flashed red, his eyes immediately taking on their amber hue. Taking a step towards his enemy he brought the blade back up. "She is not his and never will be. He killed her once I will not let him do it again." With that he sprang at the grinning man, aiming straight for his heart. He growled when the man dove to the side.

Landing, he spun just in time to see the gun come up. Another dull thud rang through the apartment and Kenshin twisted to the side to avoid the bullet but it wasn't enough. A grunt of pain ripped from his throat as the bullet pierced his flesh just above his heart. Stumbling back he slammed hard against the sliding glass door and slid down it, the pain nearly driving him into unconsciousness. Damn if this kept up he really would die. It was ironic really, after all these years he'd be killed by none other than one Enishi's henchman. Scowling he dug up his last reserve of energy and used the blade to lever himself up. Settling himself he readied for one last attack. He couldn't die, not now. Not when he'd finally found her.

Gein just shook his head as he watched his target get back on his feet. Jesus this man didn't know when to die. Smiling he took dead aim at his head, this would be the last. He only had one bullet left but that was all it was going to take. This man was dead he just didn't know it yet. Pulling the trigger his eyes widened as the redhead vanished and then he felt a blade pierce shoulder. Instant fire exploded down his arm forcing him to drop the gun as the blade was driven its full length into his flesh.

Kenshin yanked the blade from his enemy and tossed it away. Fisting his hand as they both crumbled to the floor he drove it into his enemy's temple successfully knocking him out. With a sigh he fell to the side and collapsed on the floor. God Enishi must have sent his best, for a minute there he was sure it was all over. A sudden pounding on the door rumbled into his pain hazed mind. Rolling his head to the side he nearly laughed when the door suddenly burst open, a very ragged looking Sano filling the opening.

Levering himself up as Sano came into the apartment he stumbled to the sofa and collapsed, "You're a little late."

Sano just scowled at him. Giving him the once over her reached out to grab his arm. "Jesus you have to get to the hospital, you look like a piece of Swiss cheese."

Kenshin shook his head and waved off the hand. "No, I'll be fine."

Ignoring the skeptical look Sano gave him Kenshin tugged his shirt over his head. Biting back a groan he used the cloth to wipe away the blood coating his chest and checked his wounds. Thankfully the one bullet had gone clean through his shoulder but unfortunately it looked like the other had lodged in his chest. Taking a deep breath he cleared away the blood around the hole and poked at the wound. Steeling himself he dug his fingers into the hole, feeling for the bullet. Fighting to keep himself conscious he dug deeper, he had to find it or the wound wouldn't heal. Finally his fingers brushed against the annoying piece of metal. Gripping a hold of it he pulled it out and tossed it on the table. With a sigh he settled back into the sofa and flung an arm over his eyes.

Sano looked away from the gruesome sight, his stomach threatening to empty itself out on the floor. "Did you have to do that?" he choked out between clenched teeth.

Dropping his arm Kenshin shrugged, "Yes. Now the wound will heal." He chuckled at the look of horror on his old friend's face, "Trust me it had to be done."

Sano shook his head and glanced back to the bloodied man on the sofa out of the corner of his eye, "Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?"

"No, I'll be like new by morning." Pushing off the sofa Kenshin fought back a wave of nausea and glanced at the man on the floor. "Will you do me a favor? Get rid of him. I don't have the energy."

Sano gave him an odd look, "What do you mean you'll be like new by morning?"

Kenshin smiled, "Not much can kill me. These won't. Because of the gift I will be healed by morning." He smirked at the silent 'oh' Sano gave him. Glancing down at the man on the floor he asked again, "So will you do something about him for me?"

Finally taking the time to glance at the man on the floor Sano's eyes widened in surprise. "Enishi sent him after you." Prodding him with his foot he asked "Is he dead?"

Kenshin shook his head, "No, he's just knocked out."

An evil little smile blossomed on Sano's lips. "Yeah I'll take care of him. I know just what to do with him." Reaching down he hefted the dead weight over his shoulder and headed for the door. "What did you do to have Enishi send his best after you?"

"I don't know. I just hope this doesn't mean his memory has returned."

Sano stopped and glanced over his shoulder. "I don't think it has. Kaoru called earlier and she sounded fine."

Kenshin stifled a sigh, "I hope that's true. I don't want her with him when or if that happens."

"Don't worry once she's home tomorrow I'm not going let her go back to him. She may not like it but I'll keep her away from him one way or another."

Kenshin smiled and headed towards his room, "Thanks. See you tomorrow."

Listening as the door closed behind Sano he made his way into the bathroom and started to wash away the streaks of blood painting his chest. Looking at the wounds in the mirror he frowned as he watched the new skin slowly form. For the first time in over a hundred years he'd actually come close to dying. It was only by a stroke of pure luck the one shot missed his heart. He couldn't take chances like that again. He hadn't waited this long to have her only to die before he could claim what was his.

Fisting his hand around the washcloth he met the gold tinged violet gaze looking at him from the mirror. He had to get her away from him. And he had to do it now before anything happened to either one of them.

A smile slowly formed on his lips as he loosened his grip and resumed cleaning the blood away. Thankfully that wasn't going to prove as hard as he had originally thought. Her reaction to him in the dream proved she wanted to know him, that she wanted to be with him. Now all he had to do was convince her conscious self that she belonged with him.

And tomorrow night he would start doing just that.

oooooooooooooooooo

I know, I know you're probably staring at the screen thinking, 'Is tomorrow ever going to come!' and with all honesty I can say... Yes. Next chapter tomorrow will finally come as will the art show and Kenshin, Kaoru and Enishi meeting face to face. I will do my best to get it out quickly.

Also please review and let me know what you think.
