“Well isn’t this a fitting end for you Himura. Being gunned down on your knees with your own gun,” Enishi snarled.
Kenshin was saying a prayer for his son when he heard the snarling of what sounded like a very large dog. Enishi cried out in pain as a large dark brown wolf tore into the forearm of the arm that held the gun. The gun went off and Kenshin felt a searing pain spread through his shoulder like fire. He fell to the ground only seeing a white blurred form struggling with a dark brown blur. Enishi punched the wolf in the head as hard as he could dislodging it from his arm, before taking off into the night.
“Kenshin!” Sanosuke cried in alarm as knelt down next to his bleeding friend.
Kenshin’s hair had become unbound in the struggle, and a dark bruise covered the right side of his face. Blood leaked out the corner of his mouth, and poured profusely from his wounded shoulder. He had a thin cut down his chest and torso where Enishi had cut off his shirt.
“Sano?” Kenshin whimpered.
“I’m right here buddy, hold on,” Sanosuke said carefully scooping Kenshin up into his arms.
“Watch out Sano....there’s a big...dog...somewhe-,” Kenshin trailed off falling unconscious.
“Shit!” Sanosuke yelled running over to Kenshin’s Mustang and carefully laying Kenshin in the passengers seat. He ran around the car and jumped into the drivers seat before gunning the engine and heading for the hospital.
“This is Sanosuke Sagara heading to Riverstone Hospital. We have an officer down,” Sanosuke spoke into the CB radio Kenshin Kept in his car.
“This is dispatch Officer Sagara do you need back up?” The CB radio crackled.
“Send units to Grace Park area. Assailant is on foot and injured heading east into the woods,” Sanosuke replied.
“Do you have a description Sagara?” dispatch asked.
“It’s one of our own...Enishi Yukishiro,” Sanosuke said icily.
“Roger that Sagara,” dispatch responded.
Sanosuke through the CB radio down and looked over at Kenshin with grim determination.
“You hang on Kenshin. Your family needs you along with your friends,” Sanosuke said.
Sanosuke ran into the emergency room with Kenshin in his arms.
“Help!” Sanosuke shouted.
A young man wearing a white lab coat rushed over to him. He was about 5'5 with long fiery red hair pulled back in a low ponytail, and purple violet eyes.
“Bring him over here Sanosuke! What the hell happened!” The doctor demanded as Sanosuke laid Kenshin down on the hospital bed.
“Enishi attacked him,” Sanosuke growled.
The doctor ran an IV and injected something into it before shining a light in both of Kenshin’s eyes. Then he removed the stethoscope from around his neck and listened to his heart before placing it back around his neck.
“Shinta?” Sanosuke choked.
Shinta’s eyes snapped to Sanosuke’s.
“Please don’t let him die,” Sanosuke said his voice thick with emotion.
“Your underestimating my brother Sagara. He will not die. The shot was to the shoulder and although it’s bleeding badly the bullet doesn’t appear to have hit an artery,” Shinta said with the upmost confidence.
Sanosuke looked on as Shinta finished checking all Kenshin’s vitals.
“Nurse prep the OR for surgery!” Shinta ordered as he started to pull the bed, Sanosuke pulling the IV holder along with them.
“Is there anything I can do?” Sanosuke asked.
“Yea catch that bastard. Also call my wife and tell her what’s going on,” Shinta ordered.
“Karou isn’t going to be happy with this,” Sanosuke winced at the thought of having to tell Kenshin’s sister-in-law about what happened.
“Well just consider us lucky that she’s watching Kenji or she’d rush down here as soon as she heard,” Shinta said pulling the bed into the elevator followed by Sanosuke.
“Your wife is a force of nature, maybe we should let her catch Enishi before the police do,” Sanosuke said with a smirk.
“Oh you think Karou’s bad. If I get him before the police do, you’ll have to soak up what’s left of him with a sponge,” Shinta said icily.
“A little gasoline and a match would take care of that, no need to ruin a good sponge,” Sanosuke said.
“I can’t believe he attacked him. What happened? Did they have a fight or something?”Shinta asked.
“Well when I got there it looked like he was trying to...,” Sanosuke trailed off not really wanting to explain.
“To what?” Shinta asked.
“He was trying to rape him,” Sanosuke gritted out.
“Forget that sponge and gasoline idea. I’m going to castrate him without anesthetic, and then poor acid on whatever’s left,” Shinta said with venom.
The elevator dinged and several nurses met them in the hall.
“Go call Karou, and I’ll page Megumi to assist and explain to her then,” Shinta instructed.
“Ok, and tell my Fox I don’t want her working late tonight with that sick son-of-a-bitch on the loose,” Sanosuke said.
“No problem,” Shinta said stepping into the OR for surgery.
--
Sanosuke picked up the phone and dialed the number.
“Hello?” Karou answered.
“Hey Karou it’s Sanosuke I’m down at the hospital Kenshin’s been shot,” Sanosuke said.
“What! What happened? Is he ok?” Karou asked urgently.
“He’s going to be fine. Shinta’s upstairs removing the bullet. Listen to me Karou. Enishi is the one that shot him. I want you to lock all the doors and windows,” Sanosuke instructed.
“That son-of-a-bi- I mean terrible man,” Karou growled.
“Kenji’s close by?” Sanosuke asked amused.
“Of course,” Karou stated.
“Now you know where the gun is that Kenshin leaves at the house right?” Sanosuke asked.
“Way ahead of you Sano,” Karou stated.
“Alright good. Call me if anything happens, and I’ll call you and give you an update when I hear more,” Sanosuke stated.
“Alright Sanosuke. Tell Shinta I love him very much,” Karou said.
“Alright, talk to you soon,” Sanosuke said before hanging up.
A half hour later Shinta came down to the waiting room, and Sanosuke was on his feet in an instant.
“Got the bullet out and stitched him up. He’s lucky it didn’t hit anything major. He has some cracked ribs, and the small cut going down his chest and abdomen, but that wasn’t that serious,” Shinta explained.
“Glad to hear it. Where’s my wife?” Sanosuke asked.
He jumped as he felt hands rest on his shoulders before rubbing the tense muscles.
“Right here sweet heart,” Megumi said leaning down and giving Sanosuke a kiss.
“Oh that reminds me, Karou says she loves you very much,” Sanosuke said.
“I know,” Shinta said with a smile.
“When will he wake up?” Sanosuke asked.
“It’ll be an hour or so,” Shinta stated.
“Can I go up?” Sanosuke asked.
“Sure. Page me when he wakes up,” Shinta instructed.
“Sure thing,” Sanosuke said giving his wife a kiss and heading up to Kenshin’s room.
--
Kenshin found himself running through a foggy grave yard, the only light guiding him coming from the full-moon. A feral growl came from behind him and he turned sharply running into a tomb to hide. A large stone coffin was in the center of the room. It was open the heavy stone lid on the ground beside it. A snarl came from somewhere close and Kenshin jumped into the coffin. He was surprised that only ash was in the coffin and not the rotting bones he had been suspecting. Then he heard it. The terrible sound of heavy stone sliding against heavy stone. The lid came closed before he could jump out. His breath came in short sharp gasps as he felt the darkness close in around him.
“No where to run now Himura!” Enishi’s voice hissed right beside him.
--
Kenshin’s eyes shot open as he jolted upright gasping for air.
“Kenshin!” Sanosuke said standing from his chair by the bed and making him lay back down.
Kenshin was about to ask what the hell happened when he felt the throbbing of his shoulder and the ache of his ribs. Everything came rushing back in an instant.
“He attacked me. My partner of three years drugged me and then tried to rape me,” Kenshin said in disbelief.
“The other police are out looking for him right now,” Sanosuke said reassuringly.
“Is there a detail at my house with Kenji?” Kenshin asked.
“Yea Karou called and confirmed their arrival just a few minutes ago,” Sanosuke said.
“What the hell was he thinking? Did I do or say something that wrong?” Kenshin asked.
“No! There is nothing you could have said or done to condone what that bastard tried to do,” Sanosuke said vehemently.
“There was a big dog there. It saved me. Did you see it?” Kenshin asked wanting to think of anything but Enishi.
“No it ran off when I got there,” Sanosuke said.
“That’s too bad. Kenji’s been begging me for a dog. I would have given that one a home had it stuck around,” Kenshin said tiredly.
“I’m sure it’s fine. It may already have a home,” Sanosuke said.
“Sanosuke Sagara! I told you to page me when he woke up!” Shinta reprimanded hitting Sanosuke with the clip board he was carrying.
“Ack! I was gonna!” Sanosuke protested.
“Hey little brow, thanks for stitching me up,” Kenshin said with a smile.
“Little? I do believe we are twins,” Shinta argued.
“I was born exactly two minutes before you,” Kenshin reminded him with a smirk.
“Whatever, how’s your shoulder?” Shinta asked as he started to check Kenshin’s vitals.
“Throbbing but not too bad,” Kenshin replied.
“Well clean the stitches and change the bandage every day. Take the bandage off when showering and redress the wound with clean ones after,” Shinta instructed.
“Ok, can I go home now?” Kenshin asked sitting up again.
“Well I suppose, but check in with me in a few hours and call me if you experience dizziness or vomiting,” Shinta instructed.
“Sure thing doc,” Kenshin said.
“Let Sanosuke drive you home,” Shinta instructed.
“Yay! I get to drive your car again!” Sanosuke cheered.
“There better not be a scratch on it Sagara,” Kenshin warned as the headed to the front desk to sign the discharge sheet.
Shinta chuckled before heading back to finish rounds.
