Disclaimer:
I don't own Ruroni Kenshin. Nobuhiro Watsuki does. Also I don't own the Inuyasha gang, Rumiko Takahashi does. (there's a small, funny scene)
A/N: Sakura is my own character with no relation what-so-ever to CLAMP's CCS.
On w/ the story...
chapter 1
Tokyo, Japan, 1878
(foggy dream scene) Late May, Kyoto Japan circa 1865.Late at night.
"I will be leaving now Sakura, that I must." says a man to a young girl.
"How long will you be gone?" asks the girl.
"That I do not know. But when I return,"he gives the girl a black box,"This will open."
"I-I love you. . .Kenshin Himura."stammers the girl.
Picture clears a little . . . A red haired man (guess who!) appears with a girl with long purple hair.
Inside the dojo, Kenshin Himura wakes up breathing heavily.
what a strange dream thought Kenshin.
And it wasn't just any random dream; this was the third time this week that he had that funny dream.
A/N: I know that that chapter was romantic and stupid (heck it doesn't even sound like a Kenshin story. But plz deal w/it. it's the first chapter of my first fanfic. plus, it gets better. . TRUST ME!)
chapter 2
11 yrs ago, the Meiji Revolution took place. Before he became the Battousai, he was Kenshin Himura. Kenshin doesn't remember, but he was engaged to Lady Sakura Tsukishiro. Sakura remembers him though.
Sakura
A/N (author's note /Amy's note): now the chapters will, most times, have names.
Countryside Japan, near Kyoto 5 yrs into Meiji Restoration
C.1872
Kenshin sigh. Thought Sakura. The war ended 5 yrs ago, why haven't you come back?
"Yes I heard the Battousai just left in the midst of the war." said Eparuson.
"As great as Kenshin Himura was, the Battousai was even better."replied Enonimasu.
A/N: those two characters have no real meaning in their names. their names, if written in Japanese would be in Katakana. (just say their names quickly and out loud. their names will make sense if you do)
"Speaking of Kenshin,"began Sakura
"Here we go again." chorused Eparuson and Enonimasu together, rolling their eyes.
"Have you heard any news from or relating to Kenshin Himura?"
"We heard he's dead." said Enonimasu.
"DEAD?"shouted Sakura. (Eparuson and Enonimasu are blown away by her shout.)
" Yes,"replied Eparuson, regaining his composure."The Battousai killed him."
"No!" shrieked Sakura. Crying, she ran to her room.
With Kenshin gone, I will have to be the next warrior as my father was before me. So Sakura pushed herself even more to become the greatest warrior to avenge Kenshin's "death"
her expedition begins
Same Setting, 5yrs.later (or original setting)
"I'm going to train abroad Meyumi." says Sakura.
"But why, Miss Sakura?" asked Meyumi, "You have everything you need here and don't forget, the Battousai is still out there and."Meyumi gasps.
"What you are thinking is true, Meyumi Takani." explains Sakura."Yes I am still looking for Kenshin, and yes, I want to know why he hasn't come back yet. The war ended 11 yrs. ago. And if the Battousai did kill him, I want to know why. And" Sakura was cut off by Meyumi
"The Battousai was a manslayer Miss Sakura" she interrupts," don't you see, if you go, you'll be killed as well. And he killed to see blood."
A/N: I italicized Takani because that's Megumi's last name. (she thought her family was killed in that fire)
"Then more so, I must defeat him."
"You can't defeat him, he knows your attack before you make it. You'll be killed."
"But then I will be with Kenshin forever."
Meyumi knew that she could not win, so she simply nodded. As Sakura left, she said," Do not tell anyone about this conversation. If, no, when Eparson, Enonimasu, or Jinrai ask my whereabouts, just tell them that . . . I'm training abroad."
And with that, Sakura left to pack her things. The first thing Sakura grabbed was the box. That black box with who-knows-what in it. Why do I still keep this if he's already dead? Oh well, sigh, maybe it's just for good luck. Sakura grabbed the rest of her belongings.
Midnight came. Sakura ran away from her estate.
Morning Surprises
"A-I-I-Y-I-I! Where's Sakura?"cries Eparuson. (birds fly out of trees)
People rush over to her room. No Sakura. Only a branch of cherry blossoms lay on her bed.
"Question everyone about her whereabouts."commands Jinrai.
(Jinrai is questioning Meyumi)
"You know her well, Meyumi Takani, did Sakura say anything to you before she left?"questions Jinrai.
wow! Miss Sakura must be psychic.
"Y-yes she did say something to me." starts the servant.
"Well!" asks Jinrai impatiently.
"W-well, she said that she was training abroad."
"Why didn't she tell us?"
"S-she wanted to see how well she'd do on her own."
"On her own, ha, she'll die. That Battousai is still out there"says Jinrai. this may work well for me after all. He thinks greedily.
Ch.3
Out There
In a village bath-house (tee-hee. this part's funny)
A person: you're ruining it for the audience!
Author: I'm sorry, laugh laugh, but it is.lolrotf
AP: . . . sweat drop
Sakura pays her money to go in and gets ready to bathe.
As she is undressing (this IS a bathhouse you know)
The admission guy sees her, well I leave it to your imagination, and calls her over.
"Hey girl!" Sakura looks at him questioningly." Yeah you, come here."
The ladies in the back are whispering "he's going to ask her." "yup."
Sakura slowly walks up to him. The guy asks her, "What's your name?"
"Sa-sakura"Sakura answers, her face going red.
"Sakura," he kisses her hand. Sakura's starting to go red even more," will you . . . bear my child?" Sakura's totally blushing everywhere (Sound familiar? Sound like Miroku? Well, you'd be close, this is Miroku's reincarnation) Miroku's incarnation, I swear, is staring at her. . .
Well?
"HOEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! WHAT KINDA DEMON'S POSSESING YOU?" Sakura screams.
"Is that a yes?" asks the perverted incarnation.
"NO! WHAT THE HELL'S WRONG WITH YOU?"
Everyone (ladies) is staring at her now. Sakura, fuming, slaps the incarnation in the face, hard.
"It was well worth the pain." says the incarnation nodding.
"Don't worry."said a lady, who looks like Sango(Sango's reincarnation)," he asks all the ladies the same question, no one's ever said yes. Thankfully" said Sango, the last part under her breath.
A/N: I kinda know that the humor was a bit . . . strange. But plz. keep reading it.
