Chapter Five: Enter Misao Makimachi

She opened the doors and came to a very large and empty room, which she guessed must have been used for training in that past. There in front of her, looking out the window was a somewhat old man.

"So you made it this far. congratulations." The old man said, "But why risk your life trying to get to me?"

"I wanted to see if I could use your information net." Shinya said coolly

"What for?"

"Private reasons"

There was a silence between them, as the old man turned and looked her in the eyes, "You need to be an Oniwabanshuu to use that net," The old man stated

Shinya nodded, but didn't move.

"Are you going to stay here? Do you wish to become an Oniwabanshuu?"

"If that's what it takes to use the information net, so be it." Shinya said

"Very well. But don't it to be easy to become an Oni. You will have to pass some tests first - are you still up to it?"

"I have come this far. I suppose some trials is a small price to pay to be able to use the information net." Shinya said evenly.

"Fair enough - Aoshi."

Shinya then noticed at tall man appear in one of the corners, "Yes, Okina?"

"See to it that this young girl gets the initiation test."

Aoshi nodded and made his way in front of Shinya, who was analysing him carefully. She new he was holding a sword, but it looked to short to be an offensive one, meaning it a defensive one, but then how was he attacking?

She didn't have time for that though, for Aoshi attacked her. She jumped out of the way and narrowed her eyes. If she had to beat another member to use the information net, that's fine with her.

She took out one of her Hitami's and attacked. Aoshi blocked her attack with his sword and kicked her, sending her back.

"Nice move" Shinya commented, getting back in position, she attacked again, but this time watched out for his martial arts and didn't get hit, though she didn't hit him either.

"Your style is very similar to that other man's - Hannya," She pointed out as she dodged his kick.

"Well observed. But you mistake one thing; I taught Hannya everything he knows, thus my attacks have more effect."

"I'll keep that in mind," Shinya said sarcastically but she had to admit it was true, for that kick he hit her with was bleeding and hurting like hell - but her dark cloths covered it well.

They continued for some amount of time, she would hit him sometimes and so would he, until he kicked her strongly at her side. Shinya back flipped and landed on her feet.

"Enough games." Aoshi said in a monotone

"Certainly, I'm tired of this warm up." And Shinya disappeared, Aoshi had a surprised look when she re-appeared at his side but he still blocked her. And she back flipped away from him, before he attacked her, landing right behind him and slashing at his back.

Aoshi turned around and faked at high kick, knocking her off her feet. Shinya rolled away before he could strike at her. She noticed that Aoshi had started to use the Kaiten Kenbu (water technique) and she stood still.

She waited for him to move. . . there!

There was a clash of swords and Okina's eyes widened when he saw another of those fan weapons. They were crossed holding Aoshi's blade and before he could attack with his martial arts Shinya flipped her Hitami's knocking the sword out of Aoshi's hand and attacked him, using many quick blows to the body.

She finished and Aoshi fell to the floor, very wounded but not dead. She closed her Hitami's and put them away, as she turned to a shocked Okina.

"You. I thought. impossible." Okina said

"Is there something else that I need to do before I can have access to the information net?"

"No. you have proven yourself worthy to be an Oni. by beating Aoshi." Okina still couldn't believe it.

Aoshi was standing up slowly, his breath uneven, "I'll take her to get her outfit, tell her the rules and the rest Okina." He said once her got his breath back

"Aoshi, you have to get patched up first."

"No, I'm fine."

"You know you don't need to pretend to be fine just because I'm here. You are going to get those wound treated before you show me anything" Shinya ordered a shocked Aoshi. Okina smiled at her, "Where do I take him?"

"He knows the way, just make sure he gets there"

Shinya nodded and proceeded to drag Aoshi to the 'infirmary', "You know, even the best fighter needs medical treatment. Besides how can you expect to beat me next time if you don't take care of you wounds now? They will only be a burden next time you fight." Shinya said, when Aoshi had refused to move.

Aoshi looked at her, nodded as started walking out of the room, Shinya following him.

As soon as the door closed Hannya appeared, already patched up from the fight with her. "Does she know she just fought with the Okashira?"

"No, it will be very interesting when she finds out."

"Are you going to let her join in?"

"That is up to Aoshi, after all he it the Okashira now, not me. But that girl has a great strength and spirit, that I am sure of."

"I'll start getting all the spies ready then for her to use the net." Hannya said as he disappeared again.

All the other Oniwabanshuu members were notified that a new member had joined them, and there were rumours that the new member had defeated the Okashira himself, and too top it all was a girl!

After Shinya had taken Aoshi to get his wounds treated, he began to explain all the procedures of being an Oni, the rules and that she would be receiving some training from him.

"What! Why do I need to have extra training?"

"Your technique is very well mastered, but the art of being a spy is not, therefore I will teach you how to become one. Once it's done, it will add benefits to your style." Was that answer she got. Naturally Aoshi spoke in a monotone.

Shinya glared at him, but said nothing. This training couldn't be as difficult and demanding as Miho's training, could it?

"What does the training consist of?"

"Since I have already accessed you capabilities, I will start by teaching you a faster way to move around. You seem to already know of the God speed, do you know of the Shukuchu?"

Shinya didn't know if she should answer his questions, for he too was an opponent, even if he was an important member of the Oniwabanshuu and her future teacher.

Considering all those facts she decided to co-operate with him, "Yes, in know of it, and I had already mastered it as well."

Aoshi simply nodded, "You will be learning a faster technique than the Shukuchu. As well as martial arts and the usage of other weapons, such as swords as knifes."

Shinya nodded as Aoshi continued to explain her training, after that he began to tell her of the formalities involved in treating each different rank of Oniwabanshuu.

"So I have to refer to the leader as Okashira?"

"Yes, unless-" Aoshi began to say but was interrupted by a man running towards him shouting, "Okashira! Okashira! An urgent messaged has been sent from Kyoto! It appears that the Monarchists have a new Hitokiri has been added to their front line."

The man came to a stop in front of Aoshi and bowed, before saying, "Please follow me, I'll take you to our spy, Okashira."

Aoshi nodded and began to follow the man, Shinya stood there, in shock. 'HE was the Okashira! I don't believe it! Urg!!!' She thought as her eyes narrowed, and she too began to follow them, though for a different reason.

"You made an idiot of me!" Shinya hissed to Aoshi, who just gave her a somewhat amused look. "You never told me you were to Okashira!" She continued on a deadly voice.

"You never asked." Aoshi stated, in an amused voice, making her even angrier. She wished she could cut him in pieces but decided otherwise. It would do no good to kill the Okashira when she just became a member.

They entered a room, where she found Hannya, and a beaten man, who began to tell them that new Hitokiri was a demon, since couldn't it was impossible to have such a strength.

"What do they call him?" Aoshi asked

"Battousai, Hitokiri Battousai." The man answered weakly.

"How does he look like?" Shinya asked, surprising the man, who hadn't taken notice of her. Once he looked her over, a panicked expression appeared on his face and he scrupled away from her.

"YOU! He - you -" The man shouted, stumbling over his words. Shinya glared at the man, who was now near a nervous break down.

"What are you trying to say, Mitsuki?" Hannya asked

"S-she.. H-he. B-B-Battousai!" Mitsuki shrieked pointing towards Shinya.

Still rather short, but I really don't know what to do next - I have many ideas on the way the story could develop and I just don't know what to do!!!!

So if the chapters are rather short - please forgive me!!! Wait until I decide how it will progress!!
