A/N: that review that I got from my sister right after I posted it was so mean, I mean she didn't even read it. Oh well, please enjoy this, sorry about the shortness of it.
1Chapter 2. Sano's Way.
Shura told her boss that she was going to take the rest of the day off. She walked into the Kamiya Dojo happy to find that it was still empty and changed into regular clothes for her to practice her fighting skills. She walked into one of the rooms that was almost always empty and took the real sword out from its wooden sheath.
She stared for a moment at the metal that glistened in the sunlight that was streaming through the window. Father why did you have to leave me here alone, I know that if you hadn't I would never have met these wonderful people but I still miss you even if it wasn't your fault; Shura thought. She stood up and began to practice. She began with a few simple swipes of her sword, then went up to more complicated movements. Then finally she practiced her attacks. Duck, dodge, jab. Air flip with a swipe as you land. Circling the opponent, deceive opponent with 'flirts' then kill. Disappear from in front, suddenly appear from above and land on the enemy's head. After those attacks were practiced a few times, Shura wanted to practice an attack that not even her father had enough years of his life to perfect. After many years of practicing this attack, she had finally mastered it, her father would have been proud. This attack was called 'As One.' This attack involved a great amount of spiritual capability. Shura did a bit of swords play, as if she was fighting off the enemy and asked the spirits of the dojo if she could join them within, in a way they answered, to her, it was yes. Shura disappeared into the floor and her spirit carried her body throughout the whole dojo and came up from the grass in the yard knocking someone down.
"Miss Kaoru, are you alright?!" Kenshin asked his friend who had just been knocked down by Shura who had somehow appeared from out of the ground.
"Miss Shura, I didn't know you were here." Kenshin said. His eyes changed when he saw the unsheathed sword that Shura held. Shura noticed this and quickly re-sheathed her father's old sword before Yahiko or Kaoru saw. Shura ran to the front door of the dojo and acted like she was standing there the whole time.
"What happened?" she asked. "Something tripped me." Kaoru said. She pushed Yahiko's arm away from her. "It was probably a stray cat or something." Shura said, "When did you guys get here, I didn't hear you come in?" she smiled sweetly. "Just now," Kenshin said.
There was a knock on the door, "Come in." Sanosuke said to the door. "You again, what do you want?" The man sat down. "Did you see him?" he asked. "Who?" "The Battosii. The man with the scar on his cheek." "Oh him, the Battosii, really?" Sanosuke said. "Yes really, I want you to kill that man, and that girl who was sitting with him."
"Who? The one who almost got her face bloodied up?" "Yes." "No, only the Battosii, I don't kill women or children," Sanosuke said, "now get out."
A/N: sorry about the short chappie, I kinda lost my inspiration but I should have it back by the next chapter. Now folks, R&R!!
