My first fan-fic. Well, here I go.

"I am so bored!" thought Yahiko as he looked again for something to do. It was a hot and stuffy day at the Kamiya dojo and Yahiko had a rare day off from his training. This only happened about three times a month now.
Sanosuke was asleep but even if he was awake he would prbably be out gambling with his friends in town. Kaoru, since it was his day off from training, had taken Ayami and Suzami shooping because they had started to run low on food. Kenshin was busy cooking, and by what Yahiko could smell, it smelled like rice balls.
It's been three years since Shishio was defeated and ever since his wounds had healed, Kaoru's been pushing Yahiko harder and harder in his training. In fact it was only during yesturday's training session that she said he was pretty close to being finished with lessons in the Kamiya Kasshin Ryu.
The only other place for Yahiko to go would be the Akabeco but surprisingly even though it was a hot day they were really busy. Plus there was no point in spending his money since Kenshin was cooking.
"There's nothing to do!" shouted Yahiko, "Shut up." came a muffled voice from inside the dojo. Yahiko turned and looked toward the door and heard footsteps coming. A couple seconds later Sanosuke came out, his white shirt was wrinkled and his hair looked crazier than it usually did.
"You've been walking around moaning and groaning about how bored you are for about an hour now. Why don't you go fishing down by the river or something?"
"Are you kidding?! Don't you feel how hot it is? Only an idiot would..." Yahiko stopped when he thought about it when he relized what going by the river would mean. 'Why did'nt I think of that?' thought Yahiko.
Deciding that he would swim instead of fish, Yahiko ran into his room in the dojo, grabbed a change of clothes, a towel, and a couple of Kenshin's rice balls and headed for a place out of town where there was a secluded spot he could swim without being found.
After about forty minutes of walking he found it, a small pool of water upstream from the main river. Big enough to swim in but small enough that many people did'nt know about it. He put his towel, clothes and food on the ground beside the shore then jumped in the water.
'Ahhh. This is perfect. If only I had thought of this sooner.' He swam around a bit then got out to eat one of the rice balls. Then got back in with his head on the shore and slowly drifted off to sleep.
**********************************
He was running through a long and dark corridor, and at the end he could see a closed door. He didn't know why he was running or why he wanted to get to the door, but he just had to. As he got to the door he heard the sound of steel hitting steel, the sound of a battle.
He tried to open the door but there was no knob, so he tried to push it open but it would'nt budge. Then he heard the sound of a sword going through a body, the squishy sound of ripping flesh, the wet splash of blood on a stone floor, and the sickening sound of snapping bone. All this was slightly muffled except the scream that came from the other side of the door.
'That was Ayami!' thought Yahiko. The screaming cut of as suddenly as it began and the muffled sound of talking came through the door, but nothing he could make out. Then another body was cut down and the scream belonged to Suzumi.
Muffled shouting came through this time, then the sound of someone running. He heard feet scuffing the floor as a new battle started then he heard a different pair of feet running and the sound of a sword being drawn.
Suddenly Yahiko heard a blade whistle through the air and connect with two bodies at once. The sound of a man's surprised gasp and a woman, Kaoru's, scream came through the door. Another pair of feet came running and a surprised gasp came through the door.
Again screaming came through the door but he couldn't make out a word, then feet were moving very rapidly and another sword was being drawn. The clash of steel on steel sang in the air... then the door opened.
Yahiko was surprised when it opened but was horrified by the scene before him. Ayami had both her arms severed and blood was still pouring out, Suzumi had no legs but face was forever frozen in the last scream of her short, young life. Kaoru had a sword in her right hand and the rest of her seemed okay, except her head was nowhere to be seen. And Sano's lower torso was a good distance away from the top half.
The smell of blood in the room was so strong Yahiko thought he would throw up, but somehow managed to hold it in. Looking around he saw that the last person to come in was Kenshin and that he was fighting a stranger.
The person Kenshin was fighting was wearing a red out-fit with cuts at the elbows. He also was wearing a strange necklace that seemed to be made of black pearls and fangs. His hair was long and silver but there were two things wrong with the picture. For one thing he was using a larger than life sword, and for another he had dog ears.
This scared Yahiko so much he could'nt talk, move or even seem to take a breath as he watched the two do battle. Kenshin was throwing all his special attacks at the demon but every single one of them was being deflected. Then Kenshin attacked and the demon sidestepped it, spun around and brought it's sword straight down the middle of Kenshin's back.
With a gurgle and a massive spray of blood Kenshin went down. With it's deed done the demon sheathed it's sword and turned, looking straight at Yahiko with eyes that glowed golden. Without even a word he rushed Yahiko with it's right hand out beside him. "Iron Reaver Soul Stealer!" it screamed. It's claws glowed golden with deadly energy as they streaked for his face.
Throwing his hand up to protect his face Yahiko's voice finally seemed to work and he screamed...
**********************************
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" sreamed Yahiko. Feeling his face he found no scars, no blood or anything wrong. He was still panting from the dream he had.'That was no dream, it was a nightmare.' Giving himself time to cool down he let his breathing even out, he got out and changed his clothes grabbed his wooden sword and decided it was time to head back to the dojo.
That's it for my first chapter. I really liked it, and it was fun for me. So please read and review. Flames accepted though not invited.
