Getting The Blame...

disclaimer: I do not own Rurouni Kenshin, just this story...

--Chapter 1--

“Where am I?” asked Kaoru as she gained consciousness, but her heavy eyelids, barely opening refused to keep the dark haired girl awake.

“Kaoru, wake up.” ordered a deep voice.

As she noticed the familiar voice of the man, her eyelids forcefully rose like lightning,

giving her a clear view of the place and especially the person, or rather persons…

“E… En.. Enishi Sensei, Ji… Jinei Sensei…”Kaoru muttered with a hint of fear in her gleaming blue eyes, as she stared at what the two men were holding.

Enishi was holding a pair of scissors on his left hand and a huge piece of broken glass on the other.

Jinei on the other side had some pushpins on his left hand.

“Sensei, why am I here?” Kaoru bravely asked stiffening her tone.

“You’re playing innocent aren’t you?” Enishi sarcastically replied rocking his lest had back and forth.

“I do not know what you are speaking of sensei.”

“You expect me to believe you, after what you have done to my sister?”

“I did not do anything to anyone!” Kaoru fiercely argued and as she tried to raise her hand to make her point clear,

Jinei caught both her hands and tied them at the back, forcefully securing her to a rusty metal chair.

“no…” Kaoru cried faintly.

“no one gets away after what they do to Tomoe.”

“Tomoe? She was your sister? I did not do anything to her!”

“oh yeah? Tomoe, come over here please..” Enishi ordered, facing a door that was covered with black curtains.

Soon after Enishi’s request, the slim body of Tomoe’s shadow was cast on the curtain.

“You called me brother?” She asked rather in a higher tone than usual, sweetly.

Kaoru, disgusted at the way she talked with her brother compared this voice with the harsh demanding voice in school…

indeed she was acting like a different person. In their school, “Tokyo Girls High”, Tomoe, her classmate and her gang loves torturing people, their classmates, especially Kaoru.

“Tomoe, please tell your brother, I did not do any of the things he is claiming that I did.”

Kaoru pleaded still having that disgusted look in her eyes.

“How would you explain this?” Enishi asked harshly as he revealed some wounds, mostly cut marks on Tomoe’s shoulder.

“Are you still going to deny the fact that you are guilty?” Enishi continued and neared the innocent girl.

“I did not do any of those!” Kaoru shouted, realizing full well of what Tomoe did.

With this, Jinei asked Tomoe back to her room. A wide evil grin formed on Tomoe’s face.

Kaoru squirmed as Enishi brought down the cool edge of the glass unto her skin.

“One wrong move you make at school, it may cause death you know.”

Enishi coolly said and with this, he dug the sharp edge of the glass on Kaoru’s cheek.

Kaoru’s eyes shot wide open as she felt Enishi cut through her skin.

She could not scream nor did she shout…

She knew she could not do a thing...

This and the other methods of torture continued throughout the night

--2 AM--

Enishi and Jinei let out a soft chuckle.

“If you ever……”

Kaoru knew Enishi was talking, but she was not able to grasp everything he was saying. She nodded instead.

Finally she was outside. Free from the human torture chamber.

She wanted to be miles away from the house by running but her legs were so weak she could barely stand. Her torn clothes allowed the wind to graze her body almost fully which made her shiver, and this was not an ordinary shiver, but it was mixed with blood and pain. Her trembling legs refused to move and were plastered to the ground just after six steps. Kaoru panted and huffed due to the blood loss she was experiencing.

She eventually wiped her blood streaked cheek that was still bleeding as gently as possible for fragments of glass were planted on the long deep scar.

She took short breaths and before she could take the next step of agony, her legs gave up and so did her whole body causing her to collapse and lose consciousness, but shortly before falling face-first to the ground, a strong pair of arms had grabbed her from the front.
