A WARRIOR'S DESTINY…

A LONG JOURNEY OF LOVE…

Chapter One…

ALLIANCE…

Aoshi Shinomori was meditating in his temple when he sensed an evil presence. Aoshi was soon on his guard when he realized that the presence was headed towards Aoiya. Aoshi soon left his place and dashed towards the Aoiya.

When he reached the Aoiya all Aoshi could sense was that the presence living the Aoiya. Aoshi soon entered the Aoiya to find every single one of the Oniwaban been defeated even Okina and he soon realizes that Misao has been kidnapped.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been two years since Misao got kidnapped and Aoshi has been all over Japan by himself looking for her. Aoshi now was resting in the woods near to four large stones, the graves of his four fallen friends, Shikijou, Beshimi, Hyotoko, and Hannya.

Aoshi opened his eyes and raised his head and said, "It's been a long time, Batosai" sensing his presence. Kenshin appeared into the view with that silly look on his face along with Saito and Sanosuke arguing about something.

Saito then stepped forward pushing Sanosuke behind and said, "Let's go" to which everyone was surprised. Sanosuke continued for Saito, "Let's go find the weasel girl together. What ya think?" Kenshin nodded in agreement and Aoshi sighed Guess that's his way of saying "Thank you all"

So the new joined alliance between Aoshi Shinomori, the ex-leader of the Oniwaban; Kenshin Himura, the ex-Batosai the man slayer; Hajime Saito, the ex-Miboru wolf of the Shinsengumi; and Sanosuke Sagara, the ex-gangster, began their journey in search for Misao Makimachi, leader of the Oniwaban.

Let's go to Kyoto! There we might find some clue and we have better resources there. And you rooster head stay behind you will only get in the way" said Saito only to be intruded by Sanosuke who yelled "WHAT DID YOU SAY? Kenshin was quick to put an end to the now beginning argument. Aoshi just stared at the whole seen. "Shall we?" asked Kenshin with his usual silly smile. And Aoshi nodded in agreement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

They all reached Kyoto as per Saito's suggestion. Okina welcomed them in a very fancy and stylish way to which only Kenshin's smile and Sanosuke The whole package was the response. Okina was disappointed, its not that he expected Aoshi to smile or respond as Sanosuke did but him & Saito together standing nowhere in particular staring that destroyed everything he planned so carefully.

"I guess after Misao was been kidnapped you have become even more cold Aoshi and that's to expected Misao must be 19 now and you being 29…… time is running fast for you" Okina spoke pretending to think out loud.

To this Saito smiled quite amused and Aoshi wished he could send the old man flying through every single roof that ever existed in the world but it would not serve any purpose so he stayed quite instead. Sanosuke could not help himself but burst into laugh and Kenshin's smile grew wider and the other members of the Oniwaban started to giggle to which Aoshi's stare was the end.

"Why don't all of us get inside?" Okon suggested and they all gladly welcomed the lady's suggestion especially Aoshi who almost lost his patience with Okina. Aoshi walked close by Okina and said in a very low voice almost a whisper, "I should have killed you when I had the chance. Don't make me regret that I spared you again" to this treat Okina's hair that usually stands, falls down. 'Careful while making a fool out of Aoshi next time' Okina noted. The night passed by in the blink of an eye for some.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At the dawn a police man visited the Aoiya and informed Aoshi & Kenshin to go with him to the police station on the request from Saito who didn't bother to join the party or stick around for that matter.

"Hey!!!!!!!! If it's something important then how come I am not invited" Sanosuke interrupted. "Are you Mr. Sagara?" asked the police man, a sweat drop forming on his forehead. "Ya…… What if I am?" questioned Sanosuke quite pissed off from Saito. "Well Mr. Saito asked me to tell you to stay behind since you will only get in the way" answered the police man quite scared from the looks he was receiving from the ex-gangster.

"WELL BUDDIE I AM COMING WHETHER THAT CREEP LIKES IT OR NOT!!!!!!!!" yelled Sanosuke as Kenshin tried to clam him down. So along with Sanosuke, Kenshin and Aoshi followed the poor scared police man to the police station.

As soon as they reached the police station another police man was there to guide them to Saito's room much to the first police man's relief. When they reached in front of Saito's room Sanosuke dashed in with his fists ready to punch him which Saito easily avoided and pretended that nothing ever happened which arrange Sanosuke even more.

"Why did you call us here anyway if you are just going to ignore?" questioned Sanosuke. "I don't remember inviting you. You Moron…" Sanosuke began to boil but stopped as Saito continued, "As for the weasel girl's kidnap case, the Japanese police force seems to have a lead on this one. Seems the suspect kidnaps only the heir to certain high ranking families who served the Shoganate EDO ERA as a warrior. And as you know the weasel girl is the heir to the Oniwaban" finished Saito.

"You said something about a suspect, who is it?" Kenshin asked. "A priest of some kind who also served Shoganate" answered Saito when Sanosuke interrupted, "Where is he now?" Saito looked at him confused a bit. Sanosuke continued, "Well you said the Japanese police force had a lead on him right. So lets waist no more time and go to rescue the weasel girl" Sanosuke finished to which Saito responded with a devilish grin grin. "You Moron…" was all he said before leading everyone to the suspected location.
