Two weirdly dressed up guys walk into a bar in Del-Oro bay, in the mountainous area. The bar is filled with many drunks and gamblers, but the two guys go for the area where they sit and order drinks. As they sit down, they look at their neighbor. She is a young woman, probably still in her late teens, with black hair and red fiery eyes. She doesn't seem to notice them, as she sucks at her sake bottle. The tall guy with spiky hair and a "bad" sign on the back of his shirt (hey, Kuro that's you!), taps the girl on the shoulder. The other guy, with long red spiky hair and an X-shaped scar on his cheek (that's you mah' man Joey!) watches from the corner of his eye.
Sanosuke: hey there Ryoko.
Kenshin: why hello there, miss Ryoko. We didn't expect to find you of all people here, that we didn't.
The girl appears to be startled, and she chokes on her sake.
Ryoko: *coughing* hey guys! Wow! This is a great surprise!
Sanosuke brings his hand to tap her on the back but she stares him down and the message he gets is that she doesn't want him to touch her.
Ryoko: *stops coughing* What are you doing all the way out here? Did you come all the way here to see me?
Sanosuke: *blushes* well... hehe...
Kenshin: well you see here Ryoko, we are looking for a bounty hunter, that we are.
Sanosuke: Kenshin! That's no way to greet and old friend! Of course we did, Ryoko.
Ryoko: figures. *folds her arms and mumbles incoherently*
Kenshin: ^.^' I'm sorry Ryo, but do you know of any bounty hunter by the name of...
Ryoko: *puts up her hand for him to stop* Stop right there. Sorry, but I don't do bounty hunters. Besides, even if I did, I wouldn't tell you anyway. *sticks out her tongue at him* nyah.
Kenshin: *looks sideways at him* she's always upset you dope.
Sanosuke: KENSHIN!!!!!!!!!! THS IS ALL YOUR FAULT!!! NOW SHES ALL MAD AT US!!!! *shoves him out of the way* this is how you treat a lady!
Ryoko: um... uh... that's not what I meant, Sano.
Sanosuke: *heart-eyed and love struck* "SHE CALLED ME SANO!!!"
Ryoko: *turns to Kenshin* as I told u before, I don't do bounty hunters.
Kenshin: what do you mean by "not do"?
Ryoko: I have a pretty large sum of money on my head, remember?
*Kenshin scratches his head*
Kenshin: yeah, I guess that's true, isn't it.
Sanosuke: *heart-eyed* "SHE CALLED ME SANO!!!!"
The waiter brings them their drinks.
*Kenshin holds up his sake glass*
Kenshin: lets drink to us!
Sanosuke: *snaps out of his daydream* OK!!!!
Ryoko: *lazily* fine.
The three clink their glasses together and with a sickening crash, their glasses become a mess of falling glass shards.
*Everyone in the bar freezes to look at them*
Ryoko: man, I tell you... I haven't done that in a long, long time... But it felt good.
Sanosuke: I almost forgot this ritual, y'know?
Kenshin: *waving at the people* HI!!!! Gomen nesai, for the glasses. It was an accident. (NOT)
Ryoko and Sanosuke: that was so not obvious.
Kenshin: *sweat drops*
They are interrupted by a tall cloaked person who slams the door open as they walk in.
*Ryoko watches them from the corner of her eyes*
Tall Cloaked Person: *ordering drinks* *rasping* a bloody Mary, and make it snappy.
Kenshin, Sanosuke and Ryoko are all quiet, drinking their sake patiently. The stranger looks around, and his gaze focuses on first Sanosuke and Kenshin, then to the glassy mess on the table, then on Ryoko.
Tall Cloaked Person: *smirks audibly but keeps on staring at Ryoko*
*Ryoko returns the stare back, undaunted and fearless*
Ryoko: *smirks even more audibly and stands up*
*Kenshin and Sanosuke stand up at the same time*
Ryoko, Sanosuke, and Kenshin: Excuse us.
The Tall Cloaked Person watches them go. Then, while no one is watching, he throws a knife in Ryoko's back. Ryoko catches it with her hand without bothering to turn around, and returns it, with a sickening crash, into the back of the Tall Cloaked Person.
Ryoko: *walks out calmly as though nothing happened*
Kenshin and Sanosuke: *thinking* what was all that about???
Ryoko sticks her hands in her pockets, and without a word, beckons them to follow her.
---10 minutes later---
Kenshin: Ryoko?..?
Ryoko: so u see... my exact point about bounty hunters.
Sanosuke: I see... that dart was meant for you.
Ryoko: so now you WILL tell me what you wanted to know before.
