DOUBLE EDGED SWORD
CHAPTER 1: The Mystery of the Kyoto Shrine
"Yahiko, you should never turn your back on an opponent when you are in armed combat." Miss Kaoru said as she lunged at him with her wooden sword.
She swung her sword, hitting Yahiko in the head.
"OW, that hurt." Yahiko said grasping his head.
"Well if you're not going to take the fight seriously, then you are going to get hurt." Kaoru said as she placed her sword on the ground.
"Well how do expect me to take this seriously when you refuse to let me use a real sword?" Yahiko said as he ran into the Dojo to find Kenshin's reversed blade sword. "This is the weapon of a swordsman, not these wooden swords" Yahiko said as he threw his wooden sword on the floor on the ground and ran to find Kenshin.
Yahiko ran down to the river, where Miss Kaoru always sent Kenshin to fetch water. He was there under the tree sleeping. As Yahiko approached Kenshin woke and stood up.
"Did you get into another argument with Miss Kaoru, Yahiko?" Kenshin said as he laid his bucket of water on the ground.
"Yeah, I just don't understand why I can't train with a real sword instead of these wooden swords." Yahiko said as he walked over and handed the reversed blade sword to Kenshin.
"I don't think you are ready for a real sword." Kenshin said patting Yahiko on the head. "Even if you were ready, you have sworn your loyalty to the Kami-a-kashine style, and they don't believe in using real swords." Kenshin said as he started to walk.
"Where are you going Kenshin?" Yahiko asked as he ran to catch up.
"I have to go to the weapons shop, to get a new sheath. This one is getting old." Kenshin said as he walked onto the main road.
"Which shop are you going to?" Yahiko asked still following him.
"I'm going to the one right outside of town. You know the one right next to that shrine." Kenshin said walking into the forest. "I know a shortcut."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile a dark figure appeared in the shrine right outside Kyoto.
"Lord Naraku will be pleased. My new abilities are working perfectly." The figure said with a wide grin on his face. "Now even time is mine to command. I Maigonoyoru will be the ruler of time and space." The figure said as he walked around, exploring his new surroundings.
Maigonoyoru was a tall man with a large sword that was about 6 feet long.
He walked around the shrine exploring. He looked at the statues and the structure of the shrine trying to figure out where he was.
His eyes flashed red as he sensed someone approaching. He leapt up to the second floor and hid up in the girders. Kenshin and Yahiko emerged from the bushes next to the shrine.
"Wow, what is this thing?" Yahiko said as he walked into the shrine and looked around.
Yahiko stood in front of a relatively large ball of energy. It was pulsating perfectly synchronous with Yahiko's movements. The ball was about 10 high and was black with blue swirls spiraling towards the center of the ominous ball.
"It is a ball of energy." Kenshin said as he walked into the shrine.
The shrine was dark and all the candles had been blown out. The shrine had three floors and was very damp and dingy. It always gave Yahiko the creeps when he walked past here.
Kenshin walked around the object. He watched it pulsate as he moved.
"Kenshin, maybe you shouldn't stand too close to it." Yahiko said cautiously.
When Kenshin moved away from the object Maigonoyoru jumped off the second floor girders swinging his sword at Kenshin. Kenshin pulled out his sword with lightning speed and blocked all of the strikes.
"So you do have some skills." Maigonoyoru said as he ran at Kenshin.
Kenshin side stepped him. Maigonoyoru ran to Yahiko and grabbed him taking him into the swirl.
"YAHIKO!!" Kenshin screamed as Yahiko disappeared into the swirl of energy. "I have to follow him." Kenshin said as he dove in to the portal.
