Kenshin was sitting by the Kamiya Dojo cutting up vegetables with his sword, while Sanosuke was in the village looking for more ingredients for tonights beef stew. "So I'm assuming your going to be cooking tonights dinner Kenshin?" Asked Kaoru. "Yes, I am making dinner tonight, that I am."
Yahiko and the children were running out and about the dojo grounds, playing.
Meanwhile in town, Sanosuke was walking around and stopped when he saw a crowd surrounding a person. "What's going on here?" He walked up and made his way through the crowd and they were surrounding a body, a male around the age of seventeen. "Who's the kid?" The crowd was talking but was soon silenced as the boy got up.
"Where the hell am I? The only thing I remember was sitting under my tree and then waking up here... where the hell is this place...?!" The boy shouted. Sanosuke just sighed. "Boy, he has nice language..." He said but fell to the ground. "What you say? Hey mister, I didn't come to this place to get bad mouthed by a freakin bastard!" The boy stepped on Sanosuke's chest,
"Oof... h-hey kid, whats your name?" Sanosuke asked, getting up and brushing his clothes off. "Kaitou Ichigahari whats it to you punk?" Sanosuke just laughed. "Well nice to meet you Kaitou, my name is Sanosuke." He bowed. "Sanosuke... nice name." Sanosuke nodded his head. "Well... do have anywhere to go? Like home?"
"Home? Like I said Sanosuke, I can't get home, it was like I just fell out of the sky..." He replied. "That's what I saw..." A woman said, soon the whole crowd was talking again. "Well, come home with me, I'm on my way back anyway." Kaitou nodded and followed Sanosuke home.
When the two got home, Sanosuke ran up to Kenshin, immediately explaining what happened in the village. "Oh? Just appeared did he not?" Kenshin nodded and walked to him and bowed. "I'm Kenshin, it's nice to meet you Kaitou." Kaitou thought to himself. "You used to be the legendary manslayer hu?" Kenshin nodded. "I'm Yahiko, I've been a student here at this dojo for about three months now, no thanks to my teacher Ms. Ugly..." Yahiko was knocked to the ground with a somewhat brutal punch by Kaoru. "Heehee, I'm Kaoru, I'm the assistant leader at the Kamiya Dojo, It's nice to meet you."
"Hey mister! Why don't you have a sword or a weapon of any sort?" Yahiko blurted out. "PIPE DOWN RUNT! Learn some decent manners..." Kaoru said. "I do, I wield a sword called Kiyomori..."
"Kiyomori..." Sanosuke thought. "Isn't that also known as the Beast Sword? How could someone that young use a sword so powerful?" Kenshin came up and looked at Kaitou with Sanosuke. "I hear great legends about the Kiyomori... it's wiped out an entire army with just one clean swipe of the blade... " Kenshin said. "Impossible! For a sword to kill, it must at least come in contact with a target!" Sanosuke said. "But... the Kiyomori releases power of the souls that it has killed over the years..."
"So does that mean that Kaitou is a manslayer?" Kenshin asked. "I'm doubting it... he still looks young and hasn't developed much muscle yet... but... it's still possible." Sanosuke replied. "Hey Kaitou, come over here for a second!" Kaitou walked over to Kenshin, but he stopped. He turned around and caught an arrow that was headed straight for his face. "...!!" Everyone gasped. "H-how did you do that?! You just caught an arrow like it was nothing!" Yahiko shouted. "Are you even human...?"
- Commercial Break -
"I am mearly human... I am an Esper... a god like being. That must be how I got here..." Kaitou said, breaking the arrow in half. "Esper...? You mean the legendary guardians who watch over the four parts of Japan? Kaitou... the legendary swordsman... Kaori... the mystic magician... Kaze... the brave martial artist... and Ayame... the swift thief..." Sanosuke said. "Yes indeed... I watch over the North part of Japan with Seriyuu, the dragon. Kaori watches over the South part of Japan with Suzaku, the phoenix. Kaze guards the West with Byakko, the white tiger, and Ayame guards the East with Genbu, the brown tortoise.
"Well, time to find this archer..." Kaitou held out his hands in a sword like stance as a blue figure formed in his hands, as the Beast Sword Kiyomori appeared. "Kenshin, Sanosuke, why don't you guys go with him. Yahiko and I will guard the dojo in case any of them come here!" Kaoru said.
Sanosuke, Kenshin both nodded and followed Kaitou into the woods where they will try and find the archer. Meanwhile back at the dojo, some huge, fat punks decided to raid the place. "Hey uglys!!! OVER HERE!! Nyah!!" Yahiko stuck his tongue out and ran around the place. "Damn little kid! Your gonna die!!!" Five killers chased him around where around the corner, Kaoru surprised them by smacking them all in the face a few times with her wooden sword. They both laughed as they fell down. "VICTORY!!!" They started to dance.
Later, in the forest, Sanosuke, Kenshin, and Kaitou were walking around cautiously. "AH!" Sanosuke shouted, he had been shot in the arm with an arrow. "Sanosuke!!" Kenshin and Kaitou ran over to him to see if he was ok. Kenshin pulled the arrow out of his side and threw it to the other side. "Here, let me heal you..." Kaitou put his hand on Sanosuke's chest and healed his wound. "Hey, thanks." Kaitou blushed a little and nodded. "Now... the arrow came from... there..." Kenshin pointed to the east. "Let's go..."
The three men ventured further into the forest, until they found a camp with a whole lot of warriors. "Hey boss we have company!" Boss? Well, this one very, very large man walked out of a tent, a bow and arrow on his back. "Ah yes, your the two that I shot right? ... What?! How could your wound be healed?! I hit you!!" He yelled at Sanosuke. "Well, I was cured by a legendary Esper." He said.
"Esper...? I thought those things were all a myth!!" The boss shouted. "A myth?! How dare you speak so rudely of a god in his own presence! Kenshin, Sanosuke! Get the boss I'll wipe the army out and join you very, very quickly..." The two nodded and ran toward the boss, holding the Reverse Blade, and the Zanbatou up high. Kaitou smiled as the Kiyomori began to glow an electric blue.
"Take this!" Kaitou swung the blade down as a high-energy blast killed them all. He just smiled, and ran to help Kenshin and Sanosuke. The boss was quite slow due to his large body, but was very powerful. Kenshin had been knocked out a few times, as well as Sanosuke. "Looks like you could use some help!" Kaitou said joining them in the fight.
Kaitou rushed up to the boss, taking his sword and quickly stabbing him in the stomach, and out the back as the boss spit out blood, he fell. Kenshin wasn't hurt very badly, just a few minor cuts and bruises that he could heal easily, but Sanosuke had a few large wounds. When the three had found their way back to the dojo, Kaitou treated them right away.
"Thanks." Kenshin said, putting his shirts and robes back on. Kaitou nodded and walked off, as Sanosuke took his shirt off. "You were hurt the most..." Kaitou said, touching his chest, as a blue light emitted from his hands, healing his wounds in an instant. "Yeah, hey I guess your not such a foul mouthed punk after all." Sanosuke said, smiling. "Thanks..." Kaitou replied. "You are most welcome Kaitou. I would ask that you stay with us, your very powerful and we still have three others to look for right?"
Kaitou nodded. "Yes, my sisters. Ayame, Kaze, and Kaori are all that need to be found. And yes, Kenshin already asked me to stay, so... I will." Sanosuke nodded and ruffled his hair with his hand.
