A/N: Merry Christmas! Happy Hanukkah! Good Kwanzaa! And happy New Years too! Here's a little Christmas present for my loyal readers! Sorry it took so long… I was without Internet for 2 weeks…
Chapter 10: Aoshi's Up! Kenshin's in Trouble!
Sano grinned his most cocky smile. "I'm up next, dude! Wish me luck!"
Kenshin looked up at his friend. "Good luck, man. You're gonna need it with the was the competition is goin' today."
"Aww, Kenshin, I'm hurt. Does this mean you don't think I'm good?" Sano asked, with a mock frown on his face.
"No, but against these hard hitters today, you don't stand a snowballs chance…" Kenshin smirked, 'I got him there!'
"Well, I'll just have to go and prove you wrong, then!" Sano said as he prepared to skate.
'I always have a way of getting him motivated. Maybe I should become a motivational speaker…' Kenshin thought as he imagined life as a motivational speaker. (A/N: BBBOOORRRIIINNNGGG!!!)

Megumi's face lit up a bit when Sanosuke's name was announced on the overhead.
Misao noticed this change, and decided to take advantage of it. "Oh, Megumi, don't you think that skater there is hot?" Misao baited, saying slightly dreamily.
"Yea…" Megumi answered absent mindedly, before realizing what she said, and tried to make a quick fix. "Er, I mean, yea, for a stupid rooster head, that is…"
Misao laughed, "Yea sure, Megumi. Don't go all Kaoru on us!"
Kaoru was totally oblivious to the conversation at hand, her thoughts on, who else, Kenshin. 'When will he come up? I want to see how truly good he is…'
* * * *
Sano stood at the top of the half pike, basking in the glory that was his fans. He had almost as many as Kenshin. He signaled them to calm the noise down, and they gladly did. As soon as Sano dropped in, the cheers began again. He did many complicated tricks, which, to him, was rather easy.
Meanwhile, someone was studying his every move. Aoshi stood, leaning against the fence, watching Sanosuke. 'No competition. The only reason I'm here is because if Himura.' Aoshi glanced at Kenshin. 'He is the only reason I am here. I will defeat him, and become the best skater in the state!'
Sanosuke finished his run with flying colors. He got a score of 87.9. He towered over Kenshin and looked down on him, very cocky. "Oh ye of little faith…" Sano said to Kenshin to get his attention.
"I never said I doubted you, Sano. You put that into your own head," Kenshin smirked.
"Why you…" Sano said as he put Kenshin into a headlock.
"Hey, Sano! I need my head back, please. Anytime now…" Kenshin said while trying to struggle out of Sano's strong grasp.
Sano finally let him go, dusting off his hands in the process. Kenshin fixed his hair back out of his face. Kenshin's face suddenly went serious. He knew who was up next, and that was Aoshi Shinomori.
Aoshi walked by Kenshin and Sano and let a cold stare fall on the both of them. Kenshin watched as Aoshi walked past, while Sano glared. Aoshi never even blinked as he walked by and took his place on the half pike.
* * * *
Now it was Misao's turn to get all giddy when she spotted the boy she had seen before. She also finally learned his name, Aoshi Shinomori. The name just rolled off of her tongue, if she had enough courage to say it out loud. And it was also Megumi's turn to get back at Misao.
"Oh, now look whose getting all school-girl-ish! It's little weasel girl, Misao!" Megumi laughed her trademark "Ohohohohoho" laugh, as Misao got very angry. Then suddenly, she smiled.
"Yes, it's true. At least I have more courage then the both of you do!" Misao said, once again, gaining one-upmanship. "Now be quiet! Aoshi's run is about to start!"
* * * *
Aoshi stood on the half pike as the audience cheered, hoping for a good show from this other new comer. Aoshi did not fail to disappoint. As he dropped in, he did a kick-flip transition. He did flips, twists, turns, grinds and anything else you can think of during his run. He did it all plus extra.
He even ended his run in a flourish as he landed on his feet after completing a double back flip 720. He got the highest score of the day with a 92.76. As he walked by Kenshin and Sano, he knew he had shocked the two boys.
Kenshin couldn't believe what he had just saw. Aoshi had not only raised the bar, he totally annihilated it! Kenshin's stomach began to do flips like Aoshi had. 'I think I'm screwed…' And he was up next…
