Rurouni Kenshin Jyuunishi Prologue

"Kenshin! Hiko-san wants to see you." Sanosuke said to his best and favorite cousin. Kenshin nodded, stood up from his sitting position and made his way to Hiko's room.

"You called for me, Hiko?" Hiko was sitting down in the middle of the room with a bird perched on his finger. He was the head of the Sohma house and carried all the curses of the Jyuunishi and was almost always sick.

"Yes. Sit down Kenshin." Kenshin sat down respectfully and awaited Hiko's news.

"You and the rest of the Jyuunishi will be attending school." Hiko said calmly. Kenshin wasn't ready for this…it was very unexpected.

"W-what?! But what if we bump into a person of the opposite gender or what if they trip and fall on us? We'll change into our Jyuunishi forms! Then we'd have to erase all of their memories!

"Sit down, you idiot!" Hiko barked. "You'll just need to be careful and—"

"But what if they just fall onto us?!" Kenshin interrupted.

"You all know how to fight which means you all have sharp senses! Now get out!" Hiko shouted, annoyed, as he hit Kenshin oh the head.

"Grr…stupid old man…" Kenshin muttered as he wobbled out of the room rubbing his head.

"I heard that!" Kenshin heard Hiko yell through the shoji (Japanese sliding door). Kenshin cursed Hiko under his breath as he walked up the stairs and into his room. He sat down on his bed and thought about school. It wasn't that he didn't want to learn and was dumb…it was just that…this was taking a big risk…He remembered when he was little…

FLASHBACK

"Pass the ball Kenshin!"

Kenshin smiled and passed the ball on to the boy and they all ran around. They were all playing in the Sohma's big garden. That's when a girl tripped on a stone and….fell…

POOF!!!!!!!!!

Before the kids' eyes sat a cat…an orange one sitting in the middle of a pile of clothes….Kenshin's clothes…

"AHHHHH!!!!!" They all screamed as they ran away from the cat.

Kenshin told Hiko what happened and Hiko ordered Aoshi to quickly find them and erase their memories before the secret spread out.

"Hiko…am I freaky?" Kenshin asked after Aoshi sped out grabbing his coat along the way.

"Well, all of the Jyuunishi turn into animals when being hugged by the opposite gender. In that way, we are freaky. No one likes a boy who turns into a cat or the rest of the zodiac animals. The way to deal with this is…only trust yourself and don't interact with others." Hiko explained. Kenshin looked down and walked into the garden. He sat on a big rock and thought about what Hiko said. He figured he'd listen since Hiko was much older, stronger, and wiser. He mostly only talked to Sano…and that was it. The rest of the Jyuunishi were ….

END FLASHBACK

Kenshin opened his eyes when Sano called him. He stood up and walked down the stairs where he found Sano sitting.

"What?" Kenshin asked curiously. Sano looked up and smiled. "Is it true that we're going to high school? A public high school?" He asked eagerly.

"Yeah. Hiko told me just today and….how'd you know? Well anyway, we have to go to orientation in two days so be ready. Aoshi's probably gonna give us the money to buy uniforms and stuff. The rest of the Jyuunishi…I don't know if we're going to the same orientation or what….anyway, just be prepared k?

"Of course! I can't wait till school starts! Now we'll finally be…normal right Kenshin? Or, we'd be…a little closer to normal right? Now we can actually talk to people our age!" Sano said happily.

"Yea…but you've got to be careful okay Sano? Girls might just bump into you or you might bump into them. You know what happens right? If they see us change, we'll have to erase their memory. And no one wants that to happen… so just be careful okay?" Kenshin warned.

"Don't you worry bout me Kenshin! You just worry bout getting to be able to interact with others! I'll be fine!" Sano shouted as he ran to his room.

"Yeah…well…I guess I should do that…oh well, I'd better get ready for orientation…and get the money from Aoshi….
