Elvengirl10: Well, I really had no idea that this story was so in demand, and to recieve so much feedback on my first chapter really made me feel good, so thanks Guys.

Sain: Yeah, you made Elvengirl very very happy. So when do I come in?

Elvengirl10: Um...Kyoto arc.

Sain: How far way is that?

Elvengirl10: Far...away...I want to get there to, okay! Kyoto Arc's the best part!

Sain: Okay...sorry...just hurry up.

Elvengirl10: Up to chapter ten is written, so hold your horses. Also, I'm just reminding everyone that Karel really isn't OOC. I'm the the Fire Emblem Six personality with the Fire Emblem Seven appearence. You will see the FE7 personality in fights such as the one against Jin-e and Saitou. Karel is really following Kenshin in this chapter...I'm not to pleased with it.

Disclaimer: Kenshin's owned by Watsuki-sama and Fire Emblem is owned by Nintendo. All I own out of this is my notebook and pen.


Cast:

Himura Kenshin: Karel

Kamiya Kaoru: Lyn

Myojin Yahiko: Guy.


"Arrgghh!"

"What's wrong Lyn-dono?" asked Karel, hanging up a piece of laundry.

"Not one! Not one student wants to come back!" fumed Lyn.

"These are times of change that they are. It's not easy to go back once one's moved on."

"And what about you? You say you're twenty-eight! That's a lie and you know it!"

"Would thirty make you happier?"

"NO IT WOULDN'T!"

"This isn't going to be easy..." Karel began.

"Whatever. I'm going to train." Lyn left abrutly. Karel followed obidiently.


"Are you still mad?" Karel ventured as they walked home.

"Yes. I have to go to other dojos to train, and you won't spar with me..." Lyn turned to glare at Karel.

"My skill with a shinai is lacking..." Karel began, before something hit him in the back.

"Oro?"

A young kid ran out from behind Karel and began to run down the street, before Lyn tackled him.

"Karel, this kid's a pickpocket. This is your wallet right?"

"Hey! Get off of me, Ugly!" yelled the Kid.

"Who are you calling Ugly...stupid!" Lyn responded.

"You, Ugly."

"Well, if he needs it so badly," smiled Karel, placing the wallet in the kid's hand. "Don't get caught next time." Karel and Lyn began to walk away.

THUNK!

"Oro?"

"I don't need your pity! I am Myojin Guy. Tokyo Samurai!"

"Hey Kid..."

"I'm not a kid!"

"You look like a child, but it's obvious your soul is mature. Sorry to underestimate you."

Guy just walked off with a "hmph" and didn't bother to look back.

"What a brat," muttered Lyn as she and Karel headed home.


"Hey Guy, we've been looking for ya."

"Yeah, where's this month's payment?"

"Forget it. I'm not working for you guys anymore," Guy announced defiantly.

"What was that?" said one of the Yakuza members, raising his sword and slamming it into Guy's gut.

"Glass-san?" said his partner.

"I said that I'm not thieving anymore!"

"I hate punks like you! Time to show you who the boss is around here!" yelled Glass, hitting Guy again.


"Now apologize, punk!" Glass ordered, throwing Guy down onto the floor.

"Cut it out Glass. Otherwise there won't be anything left to apologize."

"You got it Boss."

"Now Guy, how do you think you'll live if you don't thieve? Your samurai heritage will get you nowhere in this day and age. Give it up and become one of my men. Carjiga's man. That's something to be proud of."

"I decline," gasped Guy, struggling to get up.

"Fool," said Glass, forcing Guy back down. "Your father died trying to fight the revolution. Your mother sold herself in a brothel and died. How can you be proud of that?"

"Shut up!" yelled Guy. "My Father died faithfully serving his lord. My mother worked to raise me well until it killed her. They lived and died as samurai!"

"I'll kill you!" shouted Glass, raising his sword. Suddenly, the paper wall fell in on top of Glass. Standing there was Karel.

"My name is Himura Karel. I've come for the boy," Karel glared at Carjiga.

"Take him," said Carjiga, backing up against the wall.

"Thank you. Sorry for the intrusion." Karel looked at Guy.

"You okay kid?"

"Who told you to help me?" asked Guy, "I could've fought and beaten them all."

"Of course. Once again, I underestimated you, that I did. As an apology, let me treat your wounds," smiled Karel as he picked up Guy and slung him over his shoulder.

"Damn. Damn damn damn."

"Do you want to be strong, Guy?"

"I want to be strong. Strong enough taht I can protect my parent's honour on my own."


"I wonder where Karel is? He ran out so fast..."

"We're back Lyn-dono. Here's your new sensai Guy. She'll be the one to teach you the Kamiya-kashin style."

"You mean this ugly's gonna be teaching me swords?"

"I'm going to be teaching swords to this brat?"

"Yup. Here you can become as strong as you want Guy."

"Heh, you don't have to tell me twice."

And so, the second resident of Kamiya dojo, Tokyo samurai Myojin Guy, came to join us.


Elvengirl10: So, what'd you think? I wasn't to proud of this chapter because it followed the manga so closely, plus I must have been writing it late at night due to the fact that many mistakes were made in the notebook. Anyways, hopw you all liked it. Sorry it's so short...the chapters do get longer, believe me.

Review Responses:

Nightmare3: Thanks for the review and I think I adressed all of your concerns in the email. Once again, yes this is a Lyn/Karel pairing. If you have more information on the FE6 Karel could you contact me, I would like to know more.

Aeros Fujita: I actually do that in alot of my stories because I don't like to overuse "Said" but I do understand what you are saying and I will try to improve on that. Thank you. Glad to find another Kenshin fan.

Wandering Cat: I really had no idea that this story was so in demand. It was a really pleasent surprise. So I hope this story lives up to your expectations and I think that this chapter answers your Yahiko question. This idea was spawned from a night of too much anime and comedy.

Ashley: Nice email you have there. Yeah, the manga and anime are similar in that respect.

Psycho Sword Lady: Actually, Karel isn't OOC at all because I'm using the Fire Emblem Six personality and while I am not an expert on that, I have gleened that Karel goes through a very Kenshin-like transition, going from the Sword Demon to the Sword Saint. I'm playing upon that mostly, but the FE7 Karel will make his appearences, notably against Jin-e and Saitou. I did actually debate Guy for Kenshin, but then Karel would have wound up as Seijuro Hiko and I'd be very very dead, Burnt to a crisp by the flames I'd recieve. Also, I will look into the Samurai Deeper Kyo suggestion, I just need to know more about the series. And finally, removing the no kill vow, defeats the purpose of Rurouni in my mind. I just hope that you can read this story with a more open mind and not just see Karel as a crazed killer. ( I did not mean that as an insult) Thank you for not making that a flame, and You did give an idea so thanks for that as well.


Notes on Characters:

Notes on Karel: The idea for this came from a thought I had about Karel saying "Oro." I think I had been staying up late, watching anime and playing FE. I decided, hey why not, this could be fun, and thus did it begin. I actaully debated putting in Guy, but then realised, I don't have a Yahiko, and Karel would end up Seijuro Hiko (Kenshin's teacher) and I'd be dead. So I kept Karel as Kenshin. Plus Rurouni Kenshin sounds cooler than Rurouni Guy.

Notes on Lyn: I needed a Kaoru, and I haven't met Karla, but Lyn stuck out in my mind. I really saw her as a good Kaoru, she uses swords and at the same time is a lady. She just seemed to fit, and I like the Lyn/Karel pairing.

Notes on Guy: I needed a Yahiko, and I know that Guy wants to be the best, so I figured that Karel would be someone he'd look up to. Plus, I've now used most of my Saceans to suitable characters. They all seemed to fit really well.

Next Time: The Zanza Arc begins. Enter Sanosuke. (Who's the Fe character...I ain't telling)
