Rurouni Kenshin

The Three Warriors

Kenyasha267: "Hey folks, I'm back!"

Sano: "And so am I!"

Kenyasha267: "I would like to thank those who have read my first chapter, even though it was shorter than I wanted."

Kenshin: "You should not worry about that."

Kenyasha267: "Thanks Kenshin. Anyway, now that the introduction is over I can go into further detail. Prepare for the craziness ahead!"

Kenshin: "This one is used to crazy things, they always seem to happen around Sano and Yahiko."

Sano: "What was that!"

Kenyasha267: "Calm down Sano. Oh, by the way, Kenshin, it is a great honor to have you here."

Sano: "That's right, suck up to the man."

Kenyasha267: (evil look) "Don't make me pull out the Magic Screwdriver."

Kenshin: "Oro?"

Sano: "The magic what?"

Kenyasha267: "If you read the story you will find out what I mean. Anyway, the second chapter starts with Kenshin's day and the three unlikely visitors. Yo, kid! Get in here!"

Yahiko: "Next time you call me a kid I'll kill you! Anyway, Kenyasha267 does not own Rurouni Kenshin, he does, however, own the first two volumes of the manga. Kenyasha267 also lays claim to the Magic Screwdriver as well as Chad and Alba."

Kenyasha267: "Nicely done. Right, I'm gonna grab some caffeine if you don't mind while you read chapter 2. Enjoy!

The Three Warriors chapter 2: New friends

Kenshin was walking down the street towards one of the many shops in Tokyo. He had woken up early thanks to the loud racket made by the usual morning fight between Sano and Yahiko. Kenshin had gotten used to this since peace at the Kamiya dojo was wishful thinking. After getting up and asking Sano and Yahiko politely to stop their newest argument, Kenshin went out to check on the garden. After a while Kaoru had called Kenshin to come in for breakfast. Although Sano and Yahiko usually complained about the food, Kenshin had developed a taste for her food. Sano had called it an acquired taste, which it probably was. After breakfast Kaoru had asked Kenshin if he could run some errands. Although he would never tell anyone, Kenshin would do anything Kaoru wanted because he secretly loved her. Kaoru's smile was enough to brighten any day for Kenshin. However, Kenshin believed that Kaoru deserved better than an assassin turned wanderer.

The errand that Kaoru needed done had brought Kenshin to the market place. After buying everything that Kaoru needed, Kenshin started on his way back to the Kamiya dojo, his home. However, along the way Kenshin saw something very strange. All his years as a Hitokiri, Kenshin never saw anything stranger. A blue vortex had opened two feet above the ground. Before Kenshin had time to think about its purpose, three bodies fell out of the vortex, with the tallest one at the bottom.

"OW!" yelled the one on the bottom,"Would you two get off of me!"

"Sorry about that." said the short one. The two men on top helped the tall man get up.

"So now where the hell are we?" said the red haired man.

Kenshin had been behind the three strangers as this discussion happened. Kenshin had no idea where these three came from, or if they were from his world to begin with. Kenshin decided to get their attention with his trademark "Oro?"

Upon hearing Kenshin the three strangers turned around and their jaws dropped. As Hitokiri Battosai, Kenshin was used to men gaping at him, but this time it was different. Those three seemed to know him somehow.

"You've got to be kidding me!" said the tall one. The tall one then approached Kenshin and investigated Kenshin's features. After about two minutes of looking at Kenshin the tall one turned around and said to the other two, "No doubt about it, its Kenshin."

"Now that's just crazy." said the red haired one.

"Maybe we should introduce ourselves?" the small one pointed out.

"Good idea! I'm Kenyasha267 and I know a lot about you Kenshin," the tall one stated.

"I'm Alba, and don't underestimate me because I'm short!" said the short one.

"And I'm Chad, nice to meet you Kenshin." said the red haired one.

Kenshin took in their looks as they introduced themselves, Alba was short and skinny and had short brown hair. Chad was also somewhat short, and had red hair and a goatee. Kenyasha267 was the tallest and wore glasses. Then Kenshin realized what Kenyasha267 said while introducing himself.

"How do you know this one?" Kenshin asked afraid it was someone else looking for revenge.

"No need to worry about it, I am not here to harm you." Kenyasha267 said.

"Wait, why are we here?" asked Chad.

"Good question." responded Alba.

Kenyasha267 merely shrugged at this conversation. They were there at the moment, nothing could change that. Besides, they didn't know how they got there in the first place, making the 'take the same way back' option next to impossible.

"If you need somewhere to stay tonight, then perhaps you can stay at the Kamiya dojo." Kenshin offered. Kenshin wanted to find out more about these three people.

"Sounds like a plan." replied Kenyasha267.

Kaoru and Yahiko were training in the dojo as usual. After several rounds Kaoru decided that Yahiko needed a break. Kaoru went outside to wait for Kenshin, who should have returned by now.

'Where is he, he is usually back by now.' Kaoru thought. 'Oh no! What if something happened and he got hurt!'

Kaoru's worries were put to rest when she heard the gate open and saw Kenshin walk in. But then three strangers followed him in.

"Sorry for making wait so long Kaoru-dono." Kenshin said as he approached Kaoru.

"Kenshin, who are these guys?" Kaoru asked.

"The short one is Alba, the red haired one is Chad, and I'm Kenyasha267." said Kenyasha267.

"They don't have anywhere to stay tonight so maybe they can stay here?" Kenshin cautiously asked. He knew that both he and Yahiko were able to stay since Kaoru-dono liked them, but she might flip if there were too many people in the dojo.

"Alright, BUT ONLY FOR TONIGHT!" Kaoru said, hoping to get the point across that she didn't want anymore freeloaders. Sure she put up with Sano, Yahiko, and Kenshin, but they were her good friends. Sano didn't usually sleep at the dojo since he had a place of his own, and Yahiko was permitted to say since he was a student. Kaoru let Kenshin stay because he had no where else to go, and because Kaoru was secretly attached to Kenshin. She just wished that Kenshin would let her in more and let her get closer.

That night, everyone was up talking to the three new comers. While talking to them, Kenshin and the gang learned more about their guests. Alba was very competitive at everything and should not be underestimated. Chad was shy but intelligent. Kenyasha267 seemed to be kind, nice, and gentle in everyday life, but would change into a demon in fights. He also acted strange every now and then.

"You know Kenshin," Kenyasha267 started while they were eating,"I think I got a good recipe."

"Really, would you like to tell it to me?" responded Kaoru.

"Why? You would only ruin the taste." said Yahiko

"You got that right!" agreed Sano. Neither Sano nor Yahiko noticed Kaoru's angry look.

"WHY, YOU-" Kaoru yelled

"Run!" Yahiko said as he barely dodged Kaoru's attack.

"Oro?" said Kenshin as Kaoru chased Sano and Yahiko around the dojo with her wooden sword. (A/N: I know there is a name for wooden swords in Japan, but I forget it at the moment.)

"So, about that recipe…" Kenshin said trying to keep up a conversation.

"Alright, Its human entrails." Kenyasha267 said calmly.

Kaoru, Yahiko, and Sano stopped running after hearing the recipe and looked at Kenyasha267 with shocked faces.

"WHAT!" said Kenshin, Kaoru, Yahiko, and Sano.

"Just put some garlic and pepper on it and it tastes great." said Kenyasha267 as Chad and Alba cracked up.

"Don't worry, he is only joking." said Alba after a minute of laughing.

"Man! You got a sick sense of humor!" Sano said.

After another hour of talking, the group began talking about self defense. Kenshin told them about his sakabato and Sano told them about how he used his fists.

"But originally, you used the Zanbato, a giant sword that could cut through man and horse." said Kenyasha267 after hearing about Sano's fighting style.

"How do you know about?" asked Sano, slightly concerned.

"Well the name of Zanza was pretty well known, so he probably heard about you." pointed out Kaoru. Kenshin, however, believed that was not the case. Those three seemed to know a lot about them. Have they been spying?

"So Alba, why don't you tell them about your weapon of choice?" suggested Kenyasha267.

"Alright, I am very skilled with the weapons known as sais. Sais are basically two large knives that can defeat a katana if used properly. The sais require close combat, which is an advantage against katanas, but a disadvantage against long weapons like pikes and spears." said Alba. Alba knew how to use the sais very well, but knew there were drawbacks with them.

"Alright Chad, you're up." said Kenyasha267.

"I like to use the ninja stars. Ninja stars allow you to fight from a distance with mobility. The mobility makes them better than the bow." said Chad

"Alright, I'm up! I like to use the katana since it is a versatile weapon. The katana can hold its own against any weapon, and it is also lighter than most European swords. (A/N: I believe the rapier is lighter, right?) The katana is also very durable and won't fail you in combat. I have created my own ryu with the katana, and I am still training." said Kenyasha267.

"What about you're second weapon?" asked Chad jokingly.

"Second weapon?" asked Sano.

"You would never believe it, but I have it with me!" said Kenyasha267, as he pulled it from his pocket.

"Oro?" said Kenshin.

"Yeah! The Magic Screwdriver!" announced Kenyasha267.

"The WHAT?" asked Sano, completely confused at the thing Kenyasha267 held in his hand.

"The Magic Screwdriver. It can cut through metal like butter! That's why it is magic, since other screwdrivers can't do this. If in a jam I can pull this out and break my opponent's weapon, giving me the advantage!" said Kenyasha267.

"Suuuurrrreeee." said Sano, not believing that such a small weapon could do that.

"Go get the pieces of the Zanbato and I will show you." said Kenyasha267.

Sano got some of the broken Zanbato and brought it back in still thinking that Kenyasha267 was full of crap. However, Sano was proved wrong. When Kenyasha267 drove the screwdriver through the Zanbato piece, the Zanbato shattered into a hundred pieces.

"Whoa!" Sano said after seeing his Zanbato broken again.

By this time it had become morning and the group was hungry.

"Hmmm. Perhaps we can go visit Tae and introduce you." said Kaoru.

Chad and Alba turned to Kenyasha267 who then said "Sure thing."

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Kenshin: "Well, that is the end. As promised it was a bit longer."

Sano: "A bit?"

Kenyasha267: "HeyfolksIambacktoclosethisfunstoryandkaorusaysthatihadtoomuchcaffinebutithinknot."

Sano: (sweat drops): "Huh? How about you say that again in an actual language."

Kenyasha267: "Never mind. I'm finally done this chapter, so thanks for waiting. I also want to tell you that if you can tell me the story about how sais became a weapon then I may put you into the story as a major character! Yay! See you next time! Must get more caffeine!"
