At Daggers Point

BB: One more chap done

Kenshin: This one is unhappy with it

BB; Why

Kenshin: This one wants more air time

BB: Kenshin, nest fic, your going to be a sex slave!

Kenshin: ORO!

Sparks flew at the dinner table. Eyes narrows into a death glare of pure hate! How one could not blink made the other three a little un easy to say the least. Yet the two glares's never lost eye contact, eating all the same. Cerulean steel to auburn honey never once looked from either. Sano and Wolf where at it again. It had been like this for every dinner this past week at the dojo. Kenshin signed, his head falling to his right shoulder. These two never seemed to let go. Why did these two hate eachther so formidable?

Kaoru more then once had tried to talk, making a joke, even to fighting with Yahiko to ease this tension. Nothing happened. No smart slick comment from Sano. No sarcasm grin from Wolf. All that happened was the silent glare. Wolf ate, the fork stabbing the food in al most violent manner. Sano poking his food with the chop sticks, eyes never leavening the teen in front of him.

' You could more quieter, or better yet, just leave' his tone flat.

'Why, your one that's the free loader here asshole.' Wolf replayed, stabbing her food.

' Well at least I know why I am here.' Sano looked right her. Her eyes glared amber around the edge for a moment. Something was rising to the surface in the young woman. Kenshin could feel it in her aura. This had to stop!

' Wolf, could you do the dishes tonight?' Kenshins' firm tone came out, breaking the two fighters from their trade of wit and glare.

She stood up, grabbing the dirty dishes. Her eyes falling under the firm gaze of the Rurouni at the moment. Kaoru let out a built up breath, seeing Yahiko echo it. Sano just watched the teen, a slight cough made him turn to Kenshin. His own eyes falling to the older man's stone like gaze.

Wolf washed the dishes, drying off her hands; she could here Sano and Yahiko talking. She covered her ki, and blended in to the shadows.

'Sano, I don't get why you hate Wolf so much. Its not like she's all bad or something.' Yahiko said, leaning back on the wall.

'Look, there's something wrong with her. How do we know she had noting to do with the bandits going after you and missy? She's hiding something. I know her kind Yahiko, they use you, back stab you, and leave ya in the gutter to die!' His tone growing tenser

Wolf's eyes flashed, she felt the need to draw blood from that man's face, the image was so voided, and she shook her head. Waiting to see what might be said.

'Sano, she's nothing like that. Wolf can at times be a little off step. But she's nothing like you think!' Yahiko almost yelled.

'Ya, well see Brat, probly after she has her way with ya!' lemon shot from the man's mouth, regretting it the moment it came out.

Wolf slipped off her gray gi. Amber linking the outside of her eyes. The old anger had taken over the teen. Sano was about to learn something very harsh. Yahiko saw the teen step right behind Sano, his eyes widening a little. Sano turned, to see a fist him right into his nose, snap back his head. Making the man step back a little more. Spots flew into his eyes, blood dripped from an open cut on his lip.

Wolf stood there, her own eyes smoldering with a fury, holding a promise of something more. Many a times when her enemies on the streets saw such eye, they ran. Death stood captured in those eyes of a wolf.

'You say you know my kind Sagara, well you know nothing! Feh, your kind from the way you fight and act. You're nothing more then a common street thug, getting kicks fighting those weaker then you. Your kind enjoys the pain of others thoe you never show it. You hide behind black reasons. Oh I lost everything, I was alone! Bull Shit. I can tell from your eyes alone, you've never taken a life! She said, taking a step until she 5 inches from Sano's chest.

Yahiko stood up, feeling something was about to happen. Sano clenched his teeth, grabbing the girl by her t-shirt, lifting her to his eye level. His own brown eyes burned into her poised indigo ones. On the other side of the dojo, Kenshen felt two large ki's shot up, making the Rurouni drop his plate. Not even thinking twice, he ran to the scene, hoping nothing would happen.

'What the hell are going to do now Wolf?' Sano said, mock lying ' I got in a spot' his smile almost evil edged.

A flash of blue hit the dyeing light of fall, before Sano or Yahiko could blink. A cruel like dagger had found its way to his neck, anther pointed to his manhood. The man's eye widened slightly. Wolf's eyes narrows into his, pushing the dip of the dagger in her right hand a little into his neck, a slight drop of blood spilled onto the cool steel.

'Before you do anything, breath, move, anything, It would be easy to slit your thout, or take a away your privet, if you have anything there in the first place.' She said, pushing her left handed dagger a little deeper, seeing Sano's face twist a little from this smile.

'So what, you going to kill me now. In front of Yahiko, right here on the dojo ground bitch? He whisper harshly

' Why not?' Wolf replaied flatly, seeing his eyes widen a little at the cold statement.

What is your life worth Sano, to you or them? What reason do you have to live Sagara?'

Both feel into an easy silent, Yahiko had never seen Sano like this, someone had beaten him. Wolf was right; she could do damage, or even kill before the former street merchant could lay a hit. Kenshin only moved with speed like this, seeing s girl use it was a little nerve racketing for the young man.

Sano too came to the same thought point. He was beat, and by some Gaijin female for the worse part. Still seeing that look in the girl's eyes, he could tell where she got her name. Eyes of a caged wolf stared into his own. A mix of steel azure and deep amber. Only eyes that had crossed the point could hold so much. Wolf was a fighter, and a street one. Where most people had given in to life of the street, doing what they could to live on for a day, this girl had fought against with everything she was. Never having to sell her body for money, escaping into drugs or beer. Wolf had kept her pride and body clean. Still her scar told of something very different, and her eyes. Sano could sense a deep well of desolation and fury from this girl.

She too could sense much from the fighter, her own eyes locking into his. Lost, grief, an old anger. Yet hope and friendship in all this. He had been given a second chance at life. All due to a small sword wielding red haired man. The dagger on his thout loosens its point a little, a drop of blood running down to his white shirt.

What Kenshin came upon was locked into his mind's eye.

'Wolf! Sano!' a deep voice called out ' Enough!' Kenshin walked into the yard, making both people turn their gazes to the angered man. Seeing the look in his eyes was enough for the fighters. Sano let go of the girl, back off a step or two, Wolf in turn relied her daggers in her pants. Her own eyes watching the smaller man walk between the two. Yahiko in all this let a pent up air. All tension was gone from the fall air, a half cast moon looked down into the dojo. Only moments had passed, yet it had felt longer to all of them.

' What happened?' Kenshin asked

Both the younger fighters looked away in response to the question. Sano was the first to speak to the man.

'We got into a fight Kenshin. Nothing really happened.' His hand went to his thourt, feeling the shallow cut.

Kenshin could see the blood in the moonlight, his solid lavender eyes falling to the young teen girl. Her deep crimson hair covering her eyes for a moment, using the shadows. The heaviness of Kenshin's latent gaze made her more uneasy the ever Sano did.

' It was bound to happen Kenshin. People like us are like that. Too much of a fighter to back down. Both of us grew up on the streets, kinda like dogs when we first meet. Got to push the others and see what happens'' Wolf shrugged, her tone void of any emotion. She kept her eyes lowered from the samurai's. Sano silent agreed with the teen for once on something.

Before anymore was said, Wolf walked over and grabbed her gray gi. Kenshin's eyes watched the girl. When she did meet his gaze, something had gone. He blinked, the weight leaving his eyes, replaced with a sense of lost ness. Wolf took the moment, and jumped on top of the wall. Her outline to the moon, then jumped down, the echo of running feet reached the men.

' Sano I think you should leave for now.' Kenshin said softly.

All the roaster head could was knobbed, heading for the front gate, his hands on his pockets. Yahiko could see a sorrow in Kenshin's eyes when they looked to where Wolf had gone. Kaoru had seen the last moments, her own blue gaze on the spot.

'Wolf…' Kaoru's soft voice carried in the fall wind.

While the stars looked from the heaven below, the half moon smiled to the world below. A lone teen girl sat under a bridge, shivering in the cold for a moment. Blood dropped now and then a corner of her scar, making it look like tears of blood where being weeped. Never once had she felt guilt like this, save once. But seeing that look in Kenshin's eyes and Yahiko, K…. Bitter laughed filled the girls throat. Letting her self slipped into a dreamless state.

As the dawn came, hunger growled from the teen's belly. She walked the streets of Tokyo, and then red hair would blow into her face. The beef-pot came into the girl's sight. Wolf recalled Yahiko had said something about the Akema needing some help in the back.

Tea saw the red hard girl walk, thinking for am moment it was Kenshin by the hair and scar, but seeing the shape of the body and eyes. She knew it was the girl from the Kamiya dojo. Yahiko had mentioned the new one to her.

' Hello, you must be Wolf' Tea's bright mood coming though. ' Can I help ya with anything?'

'Yahiko mention you needed some help in the back' Wolf let an easy smile cover her own.

Tea looked over the young woman, studying her. Wolf tried to keep an easy manner, hoping it might work over the woman.

'All right, all you have to do is chop the vegetables, wash dishes, get stuff and some shopping on the sideshows that sound to you. Mostly in the afternoons.' Tea said

Wolf knobbed, smiling for real this time at the woman. Teas lead her to the back of the Beef Pot. Well it was better to start now and stay away from the dojo for a while then take the chance of anther fight braking out. Yet back in the dojo, a worried Kenshin and Kaoru looked to the front gate now and then, hoping a lone wolf might come back home.
