Yahiko ran through the streets of Tokyo. The streets of Tokyo were empty then, but he didn't care, he knew he had to keep on running. He was being chased. He didn't look back because they were gaining on him inch by inch, he knew if he would stop they would catch him, he couldn't let that happen.
He then came to a dead end; the river was in front of him, he didn't want to jump in, but right behind him were the guards, what was he going to do? "Come back here you kid! We're going to make you pay for what you did!!" one guard yelled. " I already told you, I am not a murderer!" Yahiko snapped.
The guards pulled back their topcoat and revealed guns hanging from their belts. It was new line order to not carry swords because of the suffering it caused, guns, they decided, were a quicker way to die or be stopped. They then pulled it out in front of Yahiko, " We normally don't shoot kids but in this case this is an acceptation, you are charged with murdering the waitress at the Akabeko restaurant!" The lead officer shouted as he pulled the trigger.
The pulled went right through Yahiko's shoulder and caused it to spill out blood. Yahiko winced in pain but suddenly found himself loosing his stability. He wavered back and forth, his eyes closing and with that he fell into the river. " What are you waiting for men? Pull him out!" The leader demanded. " But sir! The current is way too strong, if we do, we shall surly drowned!" " Well, the kid is as good as dead anyway, pull back men, we shall go inform the boss." The soldiers nodded and put their guns away and walked away.
Yahiko was drifting...down the raging river. Blood was flowing from the flesh wound and spilled into the clear waters, he was barely staying afloat. His eyes were slowly closing as he submerged deeper into the raging waters and before he could protect himself, he slowly sank to the bottom.
Yahiko woke up in a nice warm bed, he coughed a few times and his visions were blurring. As his vision regained itself little by little he saw a face up above him looking down at him. " Kaoru? Sanosuke? Kenshin?" he asked wearily. " Shh...you still haven't recovered yet, you still have a roaring fever." A soft hand then graced his forehead. " Is this guy going to be okay Siye?" " Yes Machiko, don't worry, he still has a fever but I can tell his wound has swelled down a lot," " That's good to hear."
Yahiko then drifted off to sleep again but when he woke up a pretty face and a large breakfast greeted him. " Good morning sleepy head!" The girl said in a cheery tone. " Who are you?" Yahiko asked taking the breakfast on his tray and laying it in his lap. " Oh, my name is Siye, I was the one who fished you out of the river," " Out of the River?" The young man asked starting to sip his tea. "Yeah, and you had a huge bullet in your shoulder, thanks to my sister," Siye pointed to a young red head with gorgeous green eyes walking into the room, " Machiko, your bullet would have killed you,"
" Thank you for saving me, I- I don't remember what happened," Yahiko thought trying to remember the incident. " Well, don't worry about that, the point is that you are alright and you should be up and walking tomorrow, meanwhile, why don't you finish your breakfast and get some more shut eye?" Yahiko nodded and finished his meal, which consisted of a hot herbal soup and a cup of hot tea. After that he faded into sleep.
Yahiko awoke that night and found himself sweating and gasping for breath. "Where am I?? Why am I not in my regular bed?" he looked around the spacious room and then noticed the young women from earlier, she had fallen asleep with an empty cup in her hand. " Oh yeah, that must be Siye, the girl who saved me from the river." He snapped himself out of the sweaty trance and looked to his shoulder to see it patched up and his Gi stained in blood.
" I think I feel alright, I think I better get back to the Dojo, Ugly and Kenshin might be worried about me. But what if they aren't worried? Aw come on Yahiko snap out of this! Of course they miss you why wouldn't they?" Yahiko paused for a minute, then got out of bed, " Well there is no use staying here anymore, I think I feel completely better, so I better just go," He then began to head for the door and then paused to see Siye bow her head and softly sigh a big breath.
He couldn't make out her features only because the light wasn't cast on her, but nevertheless he stood there and looked at her, " boy..she sure is pretty... Aw come on Yahiko! Just get your act together and leave! Well, I can't just leave without saying thank you," He then blinked and then opened the sliding door. He was halfway out the door when he saw her give another big sigh and then drift back asleep. His heart then started pounding, " What if she caught me while I was walking out? Will she come after me?" He thought as he walked out the door and then began to close it behind him quietly. " thank you," He whispered as he made his way down the steps and onto the road ahead.
For a while he couldn't figure out where he was until he found his way to the river and recognized the other side of it. " If I just cross this River then I can go back to the Dojo and rest in my own bed." He thought as suddenly his shoulder began a sharp twist of pain like a dagger piercing it. He then started staggering again and his knees gave way and just as he was going to fall back he felt two arms catch him from behind, " Your more of an Idiot then I thought, when I said that you could leave tomorrow I meant that the medicine wasn't going to wear of until tomorrow!" Siye shouted as Yahiko lost his consciousness.
The Birds were chirping that morning and the sunlight beamed into the room. It startled Yahiko but the sunlight welcomed him. He sat up and felt his head and touched his shoulder, the pain was gone. " So you're awake eh?" Siye asked. Yahiko looked to the girl who was sitting in her usual spot where she was when he left. " Did you stay there all night just to make sure I was okay?" He asked. The girl nodded and looked out the window.
" If you are so eager to leave then I will take you home right now if you wish," Yahiko blinked, "What? You want to go home right? Your parents must be worried sick about you," Siye said kneeling down beside him. Yahiko sweatdropped and imagined Kaoru as his mom hitting him with a wooden stick and Kenshin his dad obeying orders from Kaoru and also imagined Sanosuke as his brother, and shuddered the thought of that, but despite all that, this was his family. He nodded to Siye.
" Good, we will set off right now!" She rejoiced.
As the too 14 year olds walked through the street and headed towards the bridge Yahiko began to notice the features of Siye more. She had long brown hair and her eyes were as blue as the river. Siye stopped walking when she noticed that Yahiko was staring at her. " I can't help but tell that you are staring at me," She started turning to Yahiko and looking him directly in the eyes, " Oh no, I was just noticing..." He stuttered to look for something that she had that was interesting and then noticed a dagger hanging from her belt. " That you have a dagger," he finished.
She smiled at him and then turned the other direction, " Right.. well anyways, if I am correct, the Kamiya Kassin dojo should be right...there!" She pointed to the right and Yahiko ran up to the gates, he was excited to be home. She only smiled and turned to walk away, "Hey wait!" He stopped her, " Hai (yes) ?" He blushed a little, " Thanks for saving me," he said. " Hey it wasn't me, you can thank my sister, she is the real miracle worker, by the way what is your name?" " Yahiko, I am the apprentice of the Kamiya Kassin style!" He said proudly.
" Kamia Kassin? Wow I am impressed, so you're a swordsman?" She asked. " Hai," " Well hows about you show me some of your stuff? And I can show you some of my Hiten Mitserugi stuff? Well I need to go now, see ya!"
" Hiten Mitserugi?!"
