Review Response:

Tsugoi Kakarlena: Hey
I am sorry to make Kaoru seem helpless and all. This chapter isn't much better.
I do apologize for it. Kaoru will be back to normal soon once everything is
straightened out. That should be in chapter three. So I hope you do keep
reading. I will make her rely on herself more. The few days before Kenshin came
will also explain why she acted the way she did. I forgot to put in the last
chapter, this story is held two years after her father's death.

A Twist, With Spice Chapter Two

________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kaoru squirmed against the 6 ft. tall man. He held
her quite firmly, and her wriggling just seemed to make him pull her tighter.
He hissed in her ear. "Stop that, or you won�t like the outcomes."
She stopped instantly when she felt something at the middle of her back. His
hand moved from her mouth to around her neck.

"Let me go," Kaoru chocked out as her air was slowly disappearing
from her lungs.

"And have you alert the whole neighborhood I'm here. Hell No!" He
almost shouted.

"Can you let go of my neck I can't breathe" she started to sag
against him. The arm loosened, but did not move to let her go. She took a huge
breath and sighed. Her feet were finally on the floor. She took her left leg
and put it behind her right one, right next to his right foot. She swung
towards his right leg causing him to fall, and her on top of him. His arms
loosened, but still held her.

"Oof," He gasped as the y wom women fell on his stomach, with her
weight. His back hit the floor hard, but he managed to not hit his head. 'This
girl is resourceful,' she started wriggling again and he tried to hold her
but her foot connected with his shin and he let go of her completely. He almost
shoved her off of him as he grabbed his shin and cursed loudly. He looked at
the girl with wonder and slowly tried to stand.

K>
Kaoru managed to get free of him and watched him for a minute. When he started
to get up, she remembered why she was standing breathless. She straightened and
raced from the kitchen toward the Dojo. 'If I can get there I can get my
sword.' Her feet felt as though she was stumbling more than she ought to
have been.

She heard footsteps and tried to run faster. She fell to
the floor face first and almost instantly got back to her feet. She felt pain
in her lower back but kept running to the Dojo. "Almost there down these
stairs and across the yard." She jumped the four steps and fell to her
knees. She slowly rose feeling all her energy gone. She started to sprint
again, but a hand grabbed her wrist and wrenched it behind her back.

"Ahhhh," She screamed as her hair flew on the right side of her face,
and her body was pulled back toward her attacker. She trio fro free her grip,
but she had no more energy. She fell to her knees from the pain of her
shoulder. She started to cry inside. 'Please no, no. I need to stay alive
and protect the Dojo as I had promised my father.'

She hung her head and waited for the blow to knock her
out. She could feel the wind coming toward as a hand went to strike her head.
She closed her eyes, and heard the sound of a sword being unsheathed.

"You'll do good, not to touch her further" A
young voice said. She looked to her left, and saw the young man from yesterday.

"Himura," She breathed in relief. She looked at his posture. It was
perfect, he could strike anytime he wanted whether the attacker lunged or not.
His hair was held in a high ponytail, his eyes almost shielded by his bangs.
His eyes were a gold hue, holding power and restraint. She could tell by the
straining of his small, yet strong muscles he was holding back the urge to
slice him in two.

The young mans hand was inches from her right temple. "What do you
want?" He spat angrily.

"I want you to leave the premises, now," Himura almost barked.

"Yeah, and are you going to make me with that reversed sword?" The
young man stood to his full height and smirked. "I am done here either
way, se ya." The young man turned around and walked away from the two.
"Little missy, I wouldn't of hurt you, I was looking for food." He
threw back another grin and jumped the gates. He stood atop the gates.
"You fight well, my name's Sanosuke" Then he bounded off the gate and
was gone.

Kaoru slumped her shoulders and fell to her hands. 'God why am I not
stronger, I should have been able to fight him, but I left my sword.' She
balled her fists on the ground, bringing dirt into her hands.

"Miss Kamiya?" Kenshin questioned.

"Yes," She said gruffly.

"Huh," Kenshin said surprised. It was an answer but not her answering
him, but an answer to his question last night.

"I said, yes need you ask to what?� She sat back on her knees and look off
at the blue. He. Her eyes brimmed with tears she could not shed.

"I know what too but I did not expect that answer yet." Kenshin said
in a serious tone. "I had thought you might ask me a few questions of why
I had come and others.�

"No I know the answer to that already. You have come to protect me from my
father�s killers." She smiled a little. "He tried to hide what he was
from me. It didn't work though; I ended up finding out, who he was, an assassin
that killed to make the government happy." She looked into Himura's
surprised eyes. "My father was killed two years ago and it still pains me,
I found out right before he died. That he was Seta Kamiwa.
He didn't want me harmed so he made his name different.�

She chocked on a sob. "I still found out, and my
life hasn't been in danger, until recently I have been getting threats. They
always say the same thing. I will get you, and you will die. It was only a
matter of time for them to figure out he had a daughter. I resemble him almost
completely." She smiled once again. "That is why you are here, did
the police contact you or did you come on your own?�

  She turned her eyes away from Himura's and
slowly tried to stand, as she felt some of her strength return. She got to her
feet and wobbled then fell back to her knees. "Why is my strength gone, I
have no wound."

Himura looked over her back and saw a hole in the back of her shirt. He knelt
close to her and looked over the hole. He placed a finger on the red spot on
her back. 'Her skin is so soft.'

"Ahh," She cringed. "That hurts."

"Well you were hit with something, it probably hit a nerve and you might
not have your strength back till later tonight." Himura slowly stood.

"Great how am I supposed to clean the kitchen now, that idiot Sanosuke
made a big mess." She breathed a sigh and then tried to stand once again.
"I have other work to do today as well; I have to get to it.� She managed
to get to her feet, and was hit with a wave of dizziness. She fell backwards
into Himura's arms.

"You need to rest, I must insist, after all I am going to be protecting
you." He moved her head into his right arm and picked her legs up in a
carrying position. "I shall take you to your room." Kenshin smiled
and looked at Kaoru. His smiled shifted to one of scaredness. She had her hands
into fists and she was shaking from anger. Her mouth twisted into a thin line.

"Himura put me down," She tried to contain her emotions. She shifted
a little going into the embrace.

His eyes changed to a stern look, "I really must insist Miss Kamiya."

She glared at him and saw gold flicker in his eyes. She flushed crimson and
turned her face away. The picture of the kiss came back to her. "F..f..i..ne,"
She stammered. �It's the room four doors away from the kitchen.� She pulled her
face against Himura's Gi and smelled his scent. 'So captivating, and
alluring,' she thought as he started walking to her room. Himura
re-positioned her, where she was facing the crook of his neck.

"I hope you don't mind, it's a little easier to hold you like this."
His face was tinted red.

"N..no," She
stammered once more. His arms pulled her closer to his body. She buried her
head in the crook of his neck, sniffing his scent deeply. Kenshin moved his
head a little to the side.

'God that feels good,' He stopped dead in his tracks as he felt some one
near. When he stopped Kaoru felt it too, she wrapped her arms around his neck
and pulled closer to him. She still had her head buried in the crook of his
neck.

She was breathing on his skin. It was all Himura
could do to think straight. 'She feels safe this way; I can't ask her to
move.' Himura listened to the position of the wind. It showed no
disturbances close enough. He glanced around him and into the surrounding
trees. He had a feeling the being was behind him.

He stood stalk still, while Kaoru hugged him tighter, she could feel the
tension in the air and knew someone else was around. She could feel Himura's
tense muscles underneath her hands and arms.

Himura listened to the silence, he knew someone was there and would attack.
Since the wind didn't rustle clothing the only thought that popped into his
mind was a gun. As soon as that popped into his head he heard the cocking of
the gun. He straightened a little and felt a piercing gaze on his back. He
could almost feel tun bun being pointed at the spot his heart was.

He jumped into the air and then broke into a run
right as the gun was fired. The shot hit the spot where he was at, then another
behind his feet, with each step it seemed the gunshots were getting closer each
time. He got to the wooden Veranda and vaulted into the Shoji door. He turned
his back and landed on the floor, his head hitting the floor hard.

Kaoru had been jostled around but she still clung to
his form. Kenshin searched all the trees and saw a lone figure standing on one
of the branches. The person was dressed in all black. The gun was pointed at
him once more, this time aiming for Kaoru's left shoulder. Himura froze and
tossed her behind his head. It still hurt from being hit on the floor, and he
could have a concussion, but he still stood.

Kaoru had felt the throw before he even tossed her. She did a flip and landed
on her legs skidding back into the wall. Her legs were still too weak to hold
her weight. She collapsed on to her right knee, one hand resting on the floor
in front of her. She watched him stand, shaking his head a little.

She looked around him and saw a black figure standing
in the distant trees. She stood and raced over to Himura. She placed her hand
on his shoulder. He shrugged the hand off and threw her backwards behind him.
He heard the gunfire and felt himself hit the hard wood floor. He skidded into
something soft and everything faded into darkness. 'Kaoru,' was his last
thought.

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Kenshin awoke feeling a little groggy, and a slight pain in his left leg. He
could hear voices around him, but everything was still dark.

"He should be okay; the bullet only grazed his left leg." An older
women's voice said.

"Ohh good," A younger voice sounded.

'He knew that voice, it was Kaoru's.'

&;Yea;Yeah he sure has a big bump on his head, but no concussion I take
it," A gruff voice teased.

"Mis...� He couldn't finish his sentence his head hurt to bad.

"Himura," Kaoru answered softly. She grasped his hand and squeezed
it.

"Well it�s about time this young man greeted us," An older
gentlemen's voice ran through the air.

'Again he could place that voice,' "Dr. Gensai?" He croaked
even over the pounding headache.

"Yes Kenshin, it�s me." The man had moved to stand beside the bed.

Kenshin slowly opened his eyes, regretting it the minute the light hit them.
"Ohh," He groaned. He tried to stand up but was pressed firm to the
bed by strong hands. He thought at first Gensai, but looked above him as his
vision cleared, it was Kaoru. "Miss Kamiya?&quoe que questioned as he
tried to move her hands.

"You need to save your strength," She scolded as she pressed him
firmer to the bed.

"Mr. Himura," The older women's voice questioned.

He turned his head to acknowledge her. He was blown back by what he saw. She
was in her mid twenties, with dark green hair, flowing around her shoulders.
She had a doctor's smock on and had her hands on her hips. Her lips were pursed
together. "Yes," He said as he turned his head back to look at
Kaoru's stern blue eyes.

"Would you mind telling me how you got this way?" The doctor
proceeded to walk up to the bed and pried Kaoru's hands from his shoulders.
"Please stay lying down." She stared at his eyes awaiting the story.

"I was taking Miss Kamiya to her room, a nerve in her back had been hit
and she didn't have the strength to move. As I walked with her I fe
pr
presence and stopped I looked around and heard a gun click, ready to fire. I
ran towards Miss Kamiya's room and dove into it. Bullets coming close to my heels
as I ran. I turned at the last moment and my back collided with floor. My head
hit the floor a moment later. I saw the man and he positioned the gun toward
Miss Kamiya. I threw her over my head, and stood. Miss Kamiya came up on my
right, put her hand on my shoulder in fear, and I tossed her back to the floor.
The next moment the gun went off; I hit the floor once more and lost
consciousness." He finished and once again tried to sit up. This time the
older women's hand latched on to his shoulders.

"I told you once before remain where you are. You need to rest."

"Megumi," Scolded Dr. Gensai.

She glanced at the old doctor them returned her stare to Kenshin's
face. "Stay lying down." She ordered as she released his shoulders from
the death grip. "That's all you remember?" She cocked an eyebrow.
"You don't remember what the figure looked like or anything beyond that
point."

Kenshin became serious. "You are not a police officer, you are a doctor, I
will tell you no more." He looked at Kaoru, her eyes wide in confusion.
She looked from Kenshin egumegumi. Kaoru opened her mouth to speak.

"NO! Miss Kaoru, we have never met." She answered the girl's unasked
question. Kaoru's eyes widened as she shut her mouth. "I have never met
this man, this is the first time I have met the Battousai." With that said
she walked from the room and out to the waiting patients. Kaoru looked at
Kenshin once more, her eyes as wide as they would go.

He once again tried to sit up no one stopped him. He got to his elbows and
decided hat would be as far as he would go, his head pounded to bad to move
another inch. "I did not have a chance to tell you Miss Kaoru, I am sorry.
I was going to explain this after all the commotion, but it seems things got worse
before I could.�

He looked at his bandaged left leg, seeing his Gi had
been ripped open to to to the wound. He sigh, he would mend it later. He broke
out of his thoughts as a gentle hand was placed on the side of his face. It
cupped his face; he could feel warm eyes on him. He turned to face Kaoru's
eyes. They were flooded with worry and hurt. Something stung inside him. He had
caused her to feel this way. Her deep eyes filled with tears and she flung
herself at him. She laid her head on his chest.

"You�re alive, that�s all that matters,"e woe wound her arms around
his still lifted body and hugged him. Dr, Gensai quietly exited the room.
"Why did you try to take that bullet for me?" Kaoru asked. Kenshin
lied back on the bed his strength about gone, his headache worsening. Kaoru
unwrapped her arms and stood up looking over him.

"I am your protector, that's what I am supposed to do," He shrugged.

"Idiot," Kaoru scolded. "That does not mean I want you to lose
your life over mine." She sighed and sat down in the chair next to the
bed. "You might want to know the rest of the story though,"

Kenshin turned his head towards her and furrowed his brow. "What?" He
scolded.

A form appeared in the doorway, Kenshin turned his head to the figure. He sat
bolt right up in bed, regretting it as his headache worsened. He shook it away
and stared at the figure. "What are you doing here?" He scowled.

Author Notes:

I hope I have not disappointed anyone. Please do
let me know if you like it or not. I don't want flames, but giving me a review
saying I am not really in to stuff like this or saying I don't like it. That
will not hurt my feelings it's like posting something that points out every one
of my mistakes. So please do leave a review and I need ideas. I know I need to
go back over my first chapter and re do the last paragraph that makes no sense.
I read it like four times and I still missed them I wasn't awake this morning.
I hope you enjoy the update, because the next one won't be for about a week or
so. I usually don't post this soon, but I feel like writing when I write I
post.
