Sora and Fortello: What?!

Leokia: Hahahaha now on to my story.

Chapter. 10 A Plan Gone Horribly Wrong

Fantasia and Sora finished hugging and kissing and everyone made their way back to the livingroom but something was still bugging Kenshin. (A/N or Battousai whichever you want me to use I will use in the next chapter to call him the name everyone wants me to call him so just tell me in a review and I will write it next time.) He wanted to know why he felt so strongly about Fantasia when he was acting then he does now. (Sensei why did you feel so strongly about her when you were acting your feelings seemed so real?)

(Stupid Apprentice I had to act to throw Shishio and them off if I hadn't said that he would have come and taken her from me knowing I didn't care what happened to her.) Hiko said back to Kenshin. Kenshin understood but it still bugged him because for some reason he knew Hiko was lying to him but he knew that Hiko wasn't really going to take Fantasia away from Sora. He knew she loved him too much and to take her against her will away from Sora would make her hate him.

Fantasia was listening to the conversation and poor Kaoru couldn't control her telepathic powers yet so she was also hearing the conversation even though she knew she shouldn't be hearing it. Fantasia felt really bad for Hiko because she also knew he was lying to Kenshin but she loved Sora and didn't want to give him up. Misao looked at all of them and then looked over at Aoshi who got up and left. So Misao decided also to leave.

She watched him walk up the stairs and she wondered what he did in his room all the time. So she followed and since she was taught to be sneaky she knew how to keep her Ki down without him knowing she was there but she didn't know he already knew and he was allowing her to follow him. He got to his room and opened the door. He knew she wasn't as fast as him so he waited a bit to let her get into the room until he told her he knew she was there.

Misao got into his room and he shut the door and walked to his chair which was facing away from her. Misao noticed this and thought he still didn't notice her. She walked up behind the chair and was about to tap him on the shoulder he turned and grabbed her hand. "Didn't anyone ever tell you not to follow people you don't really know?" "I know you won't hurt me if you don't want the Battousai on you because Kaoru will be upset and he would do just about anything for her!" "I am not afraid of the Battousai I respect him but I do not fear him.

I am waiting for my rematch with him to prove that I am really the strongest vampire." "Well if your wanting to prove you’re the strongest why aren't you on the other side?" "Because I am not evil, I am very loyal to him because he spared my life and helped me try to save my friends. Same goes for Fantasia she also helped to save my friends that is why I owed her a favor." "So you’re loyal to both Fantasia and Battousai." "No I am loyal to Battousai but to Fantasia I am more of a rival to prove I am also better than her as well."

"Oh okay well you still won't hurt me because I don't believe you will." "Well you are very trusting of someone you have only known for two days." "Yes well I guess I just sense you as the guy that would hurt an innocent girl without a reason." "You don't know me to well and you don't know a vampire to well either. We will kill whoever we feel like whenever we feel like but we mostly do it when we need blood."

"Oh well you don't need blood right now do you?" "No, I don't so you have nothing to worry about." Aoshi letting go of her wrist and sitting back down in his chair. "Well you can go now." Aoshi said as he started to meditate. She seen he didn't want to be disturbed so she left his room like he said but not until she had realized that she wanted to know more about him much more. He was so mysterious and it excited her and she couldn't wait to actually get him to open up to her.

Misao went to her own room and on her way she ran into Yahiko. "Hey Yahiko where are you going?" "No where I was just um just going down stairs to see if Kaoru wants to practice some more." Yahiko said as he was walking away from Misao. Misao started giggling at him because he was such a bad liar. Yahiko made his way down the stairs and was about to walk out of the house when he heard Fantasia's voice he went right to where he heard her the livingroom.

Yahiko stood in the doorway and looked at Fantasia. Fantasia and everyone just looked at him. Yahiko walked up and said "you have come back! You have come back! When did you get back?!" Yahiko said excited that she had returned and wasn't hurt. Fantasia said "not to long ago." Fantasia stood up and walked over to him and hugged him. Sora felt a tinge of jealousy but shrugged if off. She said "so Yahiko have you been training hard?"

"Yeah even though my Sensei is ugly, I am doing really good anyway." Yahiko said as Kaoru got angry. "Ugly who are you calling ugly you little brat!" Kaoru stood up and said as she started chasing him. "So Kenshin have they acted like that the entire time I have been gone?" "Yes they have." "Good that means they will act just like a brother and sister would. Means that they will protect each other no matter how mad they get at each other." "Yes that is what it means. It also means we will have to listen to that from now on." "I know because little Yahiko is a vampire Kenshin and that is why he lived."

Fantasia then just stood there and watched the two run around the room like chickens who lost their heads. Battousai though was getting a little annoyed that they could act that way. "Okay that is enough. Yahiko go practice strokes 30 of them." Kenshin said getting up. Yahiko looked at him but didn't want to disobey him so he left. Kaoru stood there looking at Kenshin and then at Yahiko and said "good thing Battousai interfered because if not I would have hurt you." She walked back to her seat and sat down.

Fantasia looked at her and busted out laughing and everyone looked at her. Fantasia said "t-t-t-that w-w-was t-to much!" She was still laughing. Battousai looked at her and said "are you okay Fantasia?" "Yes I am fine. Why Kenshin?" He still didn't want to be called Kenshin but he knew him saying something wasn't going to stop her. Fantasia had a mind of her own and she used it sometimes too much but she still used it. He also liked that she would speak her mind that way he knew no one would run over her.

Meanwhile none of them knew they were being watched. "Well well well that is where they have hid them. They have gotten both the girls and Battousai figures he is the strongest and that he can keep them safe. Well no Battousai I hate to bursts your bubble but I will get your little family and then what will you do." He started to laugh when someone came up behind him.

"Shishio dear don't you think watching them is a little boring when are you going to make your move and actually capture the girls to use them against the Battousai?" "Soon the time will be right soon and I will capture the only family the Battousai has left and his mate while I am at it. He won't be able to attack me if I have the most precious thing in his life his love. Houji are the Juppongatana that we were able to relocate ready to start phase one of my plans?"

"Yes Lord Shishio they are awaiting your orders." Houji said "Good come Yumi we are going to give the orders to kill the Battousai's family and kidnap the girls." "Yes Lord Shishio." They stood up and walked out of the room. They walked down the hall and opened one of the doors there stood six of the Juppongatana. "Welcome back once again to help me take my rightful place as ruler of this world." Kamatari stood and said "Lord Shishio I am ready to carry out your will." Yumi looked at Kamatari and then smiled and said "Lord Shishio how are you sending the Juppongatana out to get the Battousai?"

"I am sending Kamatari and Henya to distract the Battousai while Chou and Usui to go in and kidnap the girls and bring them back here. The rest will be here to greet them when they arrive. Knowing the two daughters of Japalow they will put up a fight if Chou and Usui are killed by them then Kamatari and Henya will capture them and bring them to me. Now go and bring our bait here." "Yes Lord Shishio." They all said.

Meanwhile, everyone had departed to their own rooms except Fantasia, Fortello, and Kamilia. "So what do you think? Do you think they will come after us?" Fantasia said with a hint of sorrow in her voice. "No but if they do, we will be ready for them. So why do you sound so sad?" "Because if they come, we are going to lose lives if they decide to fight us." "Fantasia do you know that we are going to lose people to this fight if we have one?" "No, I don't know but if we do I don't want to be around to see it I have seen too much!" Fantasia said getting up and walking away.

Fortello and Kamilia watched her leave and looked at each and kept talking. Fantasia though had made her way out to the balcony. She stood there and over looked the courtyard maze and said to herself "What am I going to do. I don't want anyone to get hurt and if I am correct the one who will get hurt is Kenshin. Why me? Why did I have to have the power to see things to come?" "Well maybe you got the power to help people with there own pitiful lives." Fantasia turned around to see Battousai standing there.

"I thought you were in your room asleep next to Kaoru." "I was until I got the sense of a Ki that was upset and then I realized it was your Ki and I had to see what had made you so upset." "I am just a little worried that is all. It is nothing for you to be worried about." "Fantasia why do you make sure everyone around you is happy even if you aren't?" "Because Kenshin I am not allowed to be happy! I get one of the most important people back in my life and I have to fear about being taken from him!

I wake up every morning and ask myself why did I have a life like this? Why I couldn't be just another normal person like Kaoru was or her friend Misao still is? Then I answer my own question by telling myself because you weren't allowed to have that kind of life! You were to have a life of pain and sorrow and that is why I never feared you! I understood that you hurt and that you had so far only felt pain as well! So when I joined and found out we were related I knew I wanted to make you happy! I wanted to make sure you didn't have any more pain.

But I have failed to do so! Because if what I saw is correct you are going to be hurt so bad you won't even know how to deal!" Fantasia said now in tears and Kenshin looked at her and said "I told Kaoru about my past and why I wanted to only be called Battousai. I told her about killing your parents to keep you and your sister safe. How I killed people just to watch their blood spill. To watch people suffer so I could get my feel of their blood as it ran down my throat.

I told her of how I was born a vampire and how I got my cross-shaped scar. I told her everything." Fantasia looked at him and said "I am really sorry about that." "It wasn't your fault it was mine." "No, it wasn't if I hadn't been so determined for revenge I would have never order them to attack you." "Fantasia like I said it wasn't your fault you had every right to be angry at me." "Yeah but I had no right to order Vera and Cattallonia to attack you and try and kill you but weren't good enough to kill you so they just scared you."

"No it is all right it reminds me of all the pain I cause in people's lives and how I try to repent for it that I do." "Yeah I guess so but I am still sorry." "Like I said don't worry about it. Now I think you might want to go to bed because you need some rest." "Thank you Kenshin." "You’re welcome Fantasia." She left him there looking at the stars. Fantasia made her way back to her room and walked in and saw Sora asleep looking for the warmth that was missing. She walked to the bed and crawled into it and he wrapped his arms around her.

Sora opened his eyes and said "did you have a nice time thinking things out?" She smiled at him and said "yes I did. Sora I want to think you for always being with me no matter what happened you were there even when I thought you weren’t you were. I just wanted to thank you." He looked at her and said "Why did you want to thank me am I going somewhere and I don't know about it?" "I hope you aren't I just wanted you to know that no matter what I will still love you even if I can't be with you." "Fantasia I feel the same for you." They kissed and went to sleep.

Meanwhile Kenshin was still on the balcony when Kaoru came up behind him. "Hey what is wrong with you?" "Nothing I am just thinking about Fantasia. She suffers to make sure everyone around her is happy and yet she did the same thing for me and you. Fantasia knew that I would meet you and she knew the way I would feel for you but she never said anything. She wanted it to happen naturally she wanted me to meet you on my own.

She wanted me to show my feelings for you on my own and she wanted us to be happy on our own. Kaoru I love you so much and I would never let anything happen to you if I could prevent it and I will make sure to prevent it because I don't know what I would do if I lost you." "Battou. . ." "No call me Kenshin you don't have to call me Battousai anymore. I want you to call me Kenshin don't call me something that will make you fear me." "Kenshin I could never fear you because I love you. I know you will protect me no matter what.

That is why I always want to be by your very side." Kenshin smiled and said "I always want you by my side Kaoru and I am glad that I found you." Kenshin kissed her and said "come on lets go to bed it is getting late." "But we are vampires don't we like the dark?" "Yes but when we haven't been to sleep in two days then you want to sleep." "Okay I guess we could go to bed." "I said we were going to bed Kaoru I never said we were going to sleep." He kissed her neck and she started to giggle and then he picked her up bridal style and carried her to their bedroom.

Meanwhile Misao couldn't sleep from everything that had happened today. That guy Aoshi could have killed her today and not cared but he didn't. For some reason she felt safe when he brought her close to him. She wanted to stay by him forever. She wanted to get to know him better. She wanted him to open up to her even if it took her some time she would wait for him. Misao sat up in her bed and decided she would start tonight at getting him to open up to her. She hopped out of her bed and quietly opened the door.

She knew she had to be extra quiet seeing as how when you live in a house with a bunch of vampires who hearing is exceptionally great so she quietly snuck down the hall. She knew though he would know when she was there but she didn't care she wanted to get to know him better and she was going to get her way if it killed her.

Leokia: Okay there is chapter 10 I hope y'all like it and I hope that y'all review and keep reading my fanfiction now I know chapter 9 wasn't all that good because I was in major writers’ block and I am sorry but I hope chapter 10 will make up for that.

Leokia: Well here is some sad news you know the fanfiction for MKR if anyone was waiting for that I am sorry but I decide to not do one seeing as how on chapter one I had major writers’ block and I realized if it was going to be that bad on chapter one then I didn't want to know how bad it would be on the other chapters. But I will be writing another Fanfiction after I finish this one up.

As for this Fanfiction I am not sure how many more chapters I will write to it but if I end it where I can write I sequel I may if everyone who has read my fanfiction wants me to do a sequel. But don't worry there are still more chapters to come.

Preview to Chapter 11: Misao made it to Aoshi's room and she could already sense that he knew she was there. She didn't have to be a vampire to know that some else knew she was there. She put her hand on the door knob and just as she did. . . . .

That is the only Preview I have ended like a cliff hanger so don't worry I will start really soon on chapter 11. Since it is a long weekend I will have time to work on it and hopefully it won't take as long as the last two have.

Sora and Fortello: Yeah you took so long on chapter 9 and it wasn't all that good but you know why that is?
Leokia: Why is that Sora and Fortello.

Sora and Fortello: Because we didn't have bigger parts.

Leokia: I am sorry I will try and give you two a little bigger parts *crosses fingers* ^_^.

Sora and Fortello; Okay everyone who reads this please review we would like to hear that you enjoy reading this fanfiction.

Leokia: Yeah review please review but to review is to read the story and I hope that you do and that you like and like I said I hope this chapter makes up for chapter 9 not being so good. I am still very sorry for that I suppose when I get the chance I will redo it but that is when I get the time.

Well if you have any questions you can email me or write it in the review. If you want my email so you can email the questions just ask in a review or just look in my profile because I am sure it is there and if you want to email to just get the next chapter before I put it up on the site if I am done with it I will send it to you but I hope that when I get that chapter on the site that you will review it for me. So that is all I have to say and again I hope that you enjoyed my story.

Oh wait Chapter 10 is longer than chapter 9 well probably about the same in how long the story is without the authors notes but in space wise it is longer than chapter 9 and that make me feel somewhat better. I am sorry for any grammar or spelling errors that are in my fanfiction I tired to make sure they were all gone so I hope there aren’t to many.
