Unusual Happenings
Chapter One: Unusual Sights
It was one hot day in the Kamiya Dojo when Kenshin decided to go out and unwind. Or so it was to him. He came upon a little skirmish, and was intrigued. So much for my day off, he thought, watching the events unfold. He continued watching, and was on the point of leaving when he saw who was involved. It was Misao Makimachi, the Weasel Girl. What's she doing here? went through his mind. He heard her yell, "You get off me, you baka!" The man who had her in his grip yelled back, "You should get your manners straight! Asking for directions, only to run off with my money?! You should be ashamed of yourself!" "You shut up!" "Oh, no you don't, YOU shut up!" The argument was almost at the breaking point when Kenshin decided to intervene. "What has she done to you?" he asked, entering the conflict, hand on his sakabatou. The man answered, "She came up to me, pretty as you please. She asks me if I've seen a guy named Aoshi Shinomori, and I answer no. The next thing you know, she took off with my money!!!" Kenshin asked her, "Is this all true? What happened? What brings you here?" "I'm on a search for Aoshi-sama. He left Aoiya a few weeks ago, and he hasn't returned. Have you seen him?" "Nope, why?" "I fear he's missing." This shook Kenshin's mind. "Him? Missing? How can that happen?" "I don't exactly know. That's why I'm here..." "Could you excuse us?" Kenshin asked the man. "Oh, sure, as long as she doesn't make off with my money again!" The two left for the Kamiya dojo, Kenshin lost in thought. "How did you know he was missing?" "I checked up at the place where he was supposed to go, but he didn't appear at all..." Nani? How could that happen? he thought. "Can you please help me look for him?" she asked. He looked at her, and saw that she was about to burst out crying. With a sigh, he said, "Sure..." And the two left, headed for the dojo.
*******
"Where is he?" A voice was speaking in the background, and Aoshi strained his ears to listen. "He's in there," a second voice answered. "Perfect. Keep him in there... he'll be useful...for our plans." What the hell are they talking about? What plans do the have in mind? And why am I involved in this..? he thought. "The Onii Wabanshu will pay for what they've done to me!" the first voice roared. "By killing off their Okashira, they'll have no choice but to give in to my demands!" "Good, good. But when will we kill him?" "Soon, my friend. Real soon." Aoshi just lay there, trembling. What's going to happen to me?! Why do they want me dead?
