Leokia: Hello everyone I am back with the next part of this chapter I was hoping to finish this fanfiction at part two of chapter 12 but I didn't get everything I wanted into part two of chapter 12 so here is part three of chapter 12.

Fortello: Is this the last part of this chapter and the ending?

Leokia: Maybe maybe not it all depends on if I get everything into this part if not there will be a part four.

Chapter 12 Part 3: The Race Against Time Save the Girls

Hiko and Saitou just looked at what they saw. They weren't expecting the site they saw. They weren't expecting to see the people they saw. Hiko looked at them and said "we walked all around this hall to find you three and we find one of you locking lips with the enemy may I ask why?" Saitou looked at Hiko and then looked at the two sitting on the floor kissing.

Saitou said "Hiko I am guessing you know one of these two people or both am I right?" "Yes I do I know the girl she is one of the people we are here to save. Kamilia where is Fantasia and of course Kaoru?" Kamilia looked at Hiko and said "Fantasia and Kaoru with Shishio. It was Fantasia's idea." Hiko looked at her and said "so who is this?" Hiko pointed to Soujiro. Kamilia looked at him and said "this is an old friend of mine Soujiro Seta."

Saitou said "is your friend a part of the enemy's team." Kamilia just looked down and said "well what can you consider an enemy." Hiko and Saitou looked at her and Hiko said "Kamilia! He is one of the people we are suppose to be killing and your sitting in here kissing him. How could you?" "I don't know because I care for him. I told you he is my friend I have known him since I was little I trust him not to hurt and I trust you not to hurt him."

Hiko shook his head and Saitou was not as forgiving and was about to strike but was stopped by Hiko who told him that there were others to kill in the mansion one wouldn't make a difference right now. They both left the two sitting there. Kamilia laid her head on Soujiro chest and said "I am sorry." Soujiro said "no it is okay." Soujiro wrapped his arms around her waist and they both sat there in silence just being glad that they were with one another.

Meanwhile Hiko and Saitou walked further down the hall and met their first challenge. They walked into the room and saw they would be fighting Usui the person who had kidnaped the girls in the first place. Meanwhile Yumi had made it back to Shishio with just Fantasia and Kaoru. Both Kaoru and Fantasia realize Fantasia’s plan was about to fail since her sister didn't know what it means to come back.

Fantasia looked at Kaoru and said 'shoot she is not back yet. Doesn't she know she was suppose to come back before we see their stupid leader?' 'Yeah I noticed I just thought she wanted to meet this guy and make sure it was actually the person she knew when she was younger.' 'It must have been for her to still be in there or he has killed her but I don't think it is the second one because I would know by now if she had been killed.'

'Yeah your right.' Kaoru and Fantasia just looked at each other as Yumi opened up the door and walked in. Shishio looked at her and said "Yumi you are missing one." Yumi turned around and seen that Kamilia wasn't here and then she realized where she missed her. Yumi looked at Fantasia and said "you must have had something to do with this!" "I don't know what your talking about." "Yes you do! Where is she?!" Shishio looked at both of them and said "Stop arguing about this now Yumi just go find her." "Yes Lord Shishio." Yumi left to find Kamilia.

Shishio looked at both the girls and said "Please. Ladies have a seat." Both girls sat down in the chairs and just looked at Shishio. Meanwhile Battousai and Fortello finally made it to the next room and opened it up. They walked in and Fortello said "this room is worst than the last room." Battousai agreed and they just looked around the room. They were looking for their next opponent and they found him. Both of them looked up and Fortello said "wow you’re uglier than the last person."

Henya looked at them and said "I will kill both of you this time and you will never interfere with Lord Shishio's plan to take over Japan again!" "Yeah right you have to be kidding me." Fortello said as Henya threw his first stick of dynamite. Fortello dodged it but still felt the effect so did Battousai. Henya laughed at both of them and said "you will not live to see tomorrow!" About that time Battousai said "I think you’re wrong." Battousai was already attacking Henya and ended up slicing him in half. Both halves of the vampire disappeared to dust.

Fortello and Battousai looked at each other and ran out of the room and back down the hall. Meanwhile Yumi was looking for Kamilia. She knew which room Soujiro was suppose to wait in until he was called to fight the Battousai and that is where she figured she would find the girl at. She walked down the hall and saw Battousai and Fortello running to find the girls. She stopped walking and hid in one of the rooms and hoped they wouldn't find her yet.

Battousai and Fortello went into another room. When she heard the door closed she open the door to the room she was in and ran down the hall to Soujiro's waiting room. Meanwhile, another fight was about to proceed. Usui was about to fight with either Hiko or Saitou once they decided on it. "I should take this one you get the next." "No, I want this one besides don't you have someone to save why don't you go save her." "Fine I will leave you here to kill him off. I am going to look for the girls." "Okay you do that." Hiko left leaving Saitou to fight Usui.

Meanwhile Yumi made it Soujiro's room and walked in to find Kamilia and Soujiro still sitting on the floor. Yumi looked at Soujiro and said "what are you doing?!" Soujiro looked up at her and said "nothing why do you ask?" "What do you mean nothing?! From what I see you are on the floor with one of the people we are holding hostage! I think that is something!" "I don't care what you think. Besides Kamilia is an old friend of mine and I haven't seen her in a long time. I asked her to come with me to catch up on what she has been doing all this time. I am sure Lord Shishio will understand. I will take Kamilia to him and tell him everything and he will see this is all a misunderstanding."

Yumi looked at him and said "Fine I have to see where Battousai and his little friend are right now. Yumi left the room. Soujiro watched her leave and then turned to Kamilia and said "come with me." He stood up and held his out to her and she gladly accepted it. Soujiro walked to the door and opened it they both walked down the hall careful not to find Battousai or Fortello because both would fight Soujiro and Kamilia didn't want any of them getting hurt.

Yumi made it to the room she had seen the Battousai and Fortello walk into. She walked into it and looked around to see if they were still there. Meanwhile Shishio and the other two girls were waiting for Yumi to come back. Fantasia and Kaoru were ready to find out the mysterious Soujiro and Shishio was waiting to have all three of his victims back in one room. Shishio looked at the two girls and said "Ladies is there anything you would like while we are waiting. Don't hesitate to ask because I am sure that Houji would be happy to go and get it." Fantasia and Kaoru both looked at Shishio and decided by not even saying it what they wanted.

"Yes we would like something." Fantasia said and they both started naming off various items they would like right now. After they were done Shishio looked at Houji to go get them and that is what he left to do. Fantasia and Kaoru knew that would stall Houji for a while but they needed to stall Shishio for a while well for long enough for them to escape. While the three sat in the room in silence it was broken when Soujiro walked in with Kamilia.

All three looked at them when they walked in as if they were playing tag and Kamilia and Soujiro were it. They both looked at them and Soujiro said "Lord Shishio I have brought back one of the prisoners that had escaped." Shishio looked at him and said "Soujiro I sent Yumi to find her how is it that you were the one to bring her back to me?" "She found me and we were talking because we are long time friends. Yumi found us talking and she was going to bring Kamilia back but I told her I would do it for her and she could go see where the Battousai was at in the mansion."

Shishio looked at Soujiro after he said that but he knew it was no use because Soujiro would just smile and you couldn't read his face or anything then. Shishio just shook his head and then looked at Kamilia and said "please have a seat would you." Kamilia did as he said and sat down next the Fantasia and Kaoru. Shishio then looked back at Soujiro and said "get ready because Battousai and his friend are almost here and they have Yumi also with them." Soujiro shook his head and left the room.

Kamilia looked over at her sister and Kaoru and said (Soujiro said he wouldn't hurt my cousin but he doesn't know that my cousin is Battousai he also doesn't know that the person with Kenshin is our brother Fantasia! He said he wouldn't hurt my brother either but he doesn't know that Fortello is my brother! What will we do?!) (Chill out Kamilia I will telepathically) (Okay Fantasia thank you.) Fantasia and Kamilia ended their conversation for Fantasia to have one with Soujiro.

(Hi Soujiro this is Kamilia's older sister Fantasia.) (Hello. What is it that I can help you with?) (You have a choice to make right now. You can go and fight the two people who are coming to you right now and you can hurt them and even kill them. Am I right?) (Yes you are right. But what does this have to do with anything?) (The people you are going to fight are the exact same people you said you wouldn't hurt well kill for Kamilia! Now is the time to make a choice Soujiro! You can fight them and if you’re lucky actually kill both of them or you cannot fight them and spare both you and Battousai and Fortello.

Kamilia loves all three of you please don't make a decision you will regret because she doesn't want anyone to die in a battle that shouldn't even be fought. Now Soujiro make a choice that will affect your life from this point on! Make a choice that will affect your future with Kamilia and make your choice that will choose your path for the rest of your life!) Soujiro thought about it for a little bit and said (I have to do this if I don't I will be killed for being weak and I am not weak. I will not kill either of them but as to not hurt them I can't say I won't do that because that I will.)

Fantasia heard his decision and said (the best people you will meet and know are people who are weak. People that are weak is one of the factors that keeps this world going. Sure they have their flaws like they aren't the best at something or they treat you wrong. But it is also the weak people that pick you up like Kamilia for example she is weak but still she tries so hard to help even when she knows she can't! She is trying to help now by being here and not wanting you to fight because she wants you to live she wants her family to live!

Soujiro I can understand that you haven't been treated the best in your life but someone you know besides Shishio is wanting to heal any pain you have! Why won't you just let this weak person try her hardest to heal you heart just by being with you and treating you the way you should be treated?) Soujiro stopped dead in his tracks and Shishio realized he had stopped. He knew someone was talking to Soujiro telepathically but he didn't know which girl it was. Shishio didn't worry though because he figured Soujiro wouldn't disobey his orders by listening to someone elses.

Soujiro finally answered Fantasia back he said (do you mean what you just said?) (Yes I do. Kamilia cares for you and she wants nothing to happen to you! Please just let her help you!) (Fine I will not fight Battousai or your brother I will stop now! Because all I have wanted since I met, Kamilia was to be with her. To have her at my side for the rest of our lives!) Fantasia smiled and said (Thank you Soujiro. Kamilia will be really happy to know.) Fantasia and Soujiro ended their conversation and Fantasia turned to Kamilia and smiled.

Kamilia smiled back and knew her sister had succeeded in stopping him. Meanwhile Soujiro finally met Kenshin, Fortello, and Yumi. Kenshin looked at Soujiro and said "do you know this woman?" "Yes I do." "Then you are one of Shishio's men." "No, I am not," Yumi looked at him and said "Soujiro what are you doing?!" "I am doing nothing Yumi." Soujiro walked off. Kenshin and Fortello turned around and watched him walk away. Fortello looked at Kenshin and said "that boy was really weird." Kenshin just shook his head in agreement and they kept going.

Meanwhile Hiko was also looking for the girls and ran right into them. "Sensei here you are. But where is Saitou?" "He is fighting Usui. By the way who is the woman?" "Her name is Yumi and she is one of Shishio's people we are using her to get to Shishio." "Oh well then what are we waiting for lets find out where he is!" "Right" both Kenshin and Fortello said. So all three looked at Yumi and she said "Your not getting anything out of me I won't tell you where Lord Shishio is!"

"Fine then I will be forced to kill you and we will find him ourselves." Kenshin said looking at Yumi and when he did all three looked at him. Yumi decided Lord Shishio would be fighting him anyway she might as well just let it be over so Lord Shishio could take over Japan. "He is down this hall take a left and keep going and when you get to the last door go in. Keep going from there and you will finally make it to a room and Lord Shishio is there along with the girls you are looking for. Kenshin looked at her and then said "I am coming Kaoru just hold on. Fantasia please keep them safe while you can."

Kenshin ran off followed by Fortello who was carrying Yumi and Hiko who was still running with Fortello for now. They ran to the door she had said and opened it to find another long hall way then leading to some stairs that they would have to climb. Kenshin was the first to start up the steps follow by Hiko who had went past Fortello who was last to start up the stairs while still carrying Yumi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~
Okay there is Part 3 of Chapter 12 and no I am not doing another Part to Chapter 12 I am moving onto Chapter 13.

Preview to Chapter 13: They ran up the stairs until finally they made it to the room. Kenshin hesitated for a minute before opening the door and when did open it he . . .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~

Not to many more chapters to go but I am doing a sequel to it. So I hope that everyone who read this fanfiction will read the sequel to it which will take place after they come back from fighting Shishio. I hope that you will like it.

I am sorry for any grammar errors that are in this chapter or for any spelling errors because I tried to get everything out of it that was wrong but if I missed some things I am very sorry.

I hope that you will R&R this chapter please review my fanfiction because it makes me happy to know what people think of what I am writing and let me know what I can improve on my fanfiction. BTW yes I know the characters are still OOC but I am still sorry for that because I don't mean for them to be.

Well please read and review.

Bye Leokia.

P.S. I also kept my promise I got this part of Chapter 12 up a lot quicker than the last part. Also I am sorry I rushed the fighting but I am really trying to get Kenshin up to fight Shishio because that is going to be one of the longest chapters with that fight.
