Chapter Eight: 10 Years later. . .
She still couldn't believe it!! No matter how long, no matter what happened since then - it was simply impossible!!
How could Aoshi go so low as to do this!! The word obsession couldn't even begin to describe what made him do such a thing! Urg! Employ the Oniwabanshuu under Kanryuu Takeda!!
I swear that if he wasn't so important to the other remaining members I would have killed him the instant he told me the 'news'! For I am sure he knows what type of man Kanryuu is! But I suppose his growing obsession to bring us glory (ever since the Meiji era started) ultra passed that slight detail when making such and agreement! IDIOT!!
And to top it all the Kanryuu thinks he can order me around like he owned me! Ha! Think again! The only person that I would even consider receiving orders from is Aoshi (which a barely obey) and even HE knows not to abuse that power!!
Besides, we didn't do a single thing since we moved here! That money- obsessed man only got Beshimi a broken nose because that Lady ran away. Well, good for here, at least she doesn't have to put up with Kanryuu's aggravating and false smile all day long! (Had it been in another occasion I would have helped her escape myself!)
And talking (or thinking) about Beshimi. . . where the hell is he? If that idiot took another direct order from Kanryuu, he will be suffering from much more than a broken nose!!
Shinya was, at the moment, storming through the large mansion looking for Aoshi, or better yet, anyone on whom she could take out her anger. This had been going on for months, and she was reaching her peak of patience (or tolerance, which would be a better word).
"Shinya-san, the Okashira wishes to see you." A voice from the nearby shadows said to her.
"As if I was going to obey that request! Especially as it probably has something to do with that money maniac. Both you and him know perfectly well what I think about being here!"
"I would not consider that wise, Shinya-san."
Shinya turned around, exasperated, "Do you not feel any remorse or anger that we, the Oniwabanshuu, have been reduced to this! Mere bodyguards to a drug Traficant? Not to mention the fact that your great 'Okashira' is taking orders from the likes of Kanryuu Takeda? Well, if he wants to be Kanryuu's lapdog fine! But don't expect the same from me!" She hissed out in an angry, but still low, voice.
The person to whom she was talking to appeared in front of her. Shinya focused her angry amber eyes on Hannya, one of the few persons she has learned to trust and respect.
"I will not deny your points of view, for I believe that you have many reasons to be angry. But you also know that I will follow the Okashira wherever and whatever his decision be: good or bad. It is the least I can do for him after all he did for us."
Shinya signed and her once angry expression left her face, "Yes, I know, and that is what makes you a loyal and trustworthy Oni."
"Will you be going?"
Shinya didn't answer, but a frown matched her face.
"It will give you the perfect opportunity to, shall we say, give the Okashira a piece of your mind?" Hannya suggested slyly but Shinya also hear him mutter under his breath "That way it will save us the time of having to hear your outburst, for a change."
She couldn't help but laugh. No one, not even Aoshi, new that Hannya had a sarcastic and some what humorous side, which probably had something to do with spending too much time around her, in training and missions.
"I would probably have done that any way. Save you guys the pain of hearing me" Shinya smiled as she sensed Hannya's surprise (he obviously thought she hadn't heard him). "Let's go then"
* * * *
"Are you sure about her? She might turn on you at any given moment"
Shinya heard through the door of the office, the unmistakable, irritating voice of Kanryuu Takeda.
"If such an occurrence should happen, that will indicate Shinya's departure from the Oniwabanshuu."
"Are you sure? She could still rebel and decide to stay"
"If she does, and I sure that there will be a good reason behind such a decision."
"Hmm. . . But have you thought of the damage such a decision would make to us? Personally, I prefer to get ride of the problem before it affect me."
Outside the door, Shinya was restraining herself in order not to barge in the room and show that idiot just how dangerous she was!!
"Such matters shouldn't concern you, Kanryuu. I handle the Oniwabanshuu the way I best see fit."
At that moment Shinya decided to interfere with the conversation. Save Aoshi some more pointless talk and a possible explosion from Kanryuu for having talked in such a way with him.
But she wasn't going to enter through the door, there was a much more interesting method. . .
* * * *
Kanryuu was looking at Aoshi strangely, obviously not used to being talked back to, much less in a rude way. As he was about to comment on that, he heard a voice right behind him. Actually the voice of the same person they were talking about.
"You called me Aoshi?"
Shinya couldn't help but smirk at the fairly frightened expression on his face as he jumped around to see he face to face. She made sure to put some extra effort in her expression to look absolutely murderous.
The effect could clearly be seen in Kanryuu as he shuddered away from her as fast as possible when wanting to maintain his authority.
"Yes. I wanted to talk with you about some arrangements" Aoshi started
Shinya nodded, even though her glare was still directed at Kanryuu. But noticing that Aoshi was waiting for her undivided attention she shifted her gaze to meet his.
"You shall have to take up Hannya's responsibilities for some time as he will be devoting all his attention to tracking the man that broke Beshimi's nose."
Shinya nodded, this was the usual procedure. Had this been another story, it would probably have been the other way round, but she was 'second in command', shall we say. And thus took over when others had missions to complete. "Have you any information on him as of now?" Shinya asked
"Some but that still needs to be confirmed - Hannya is in charge of that, if it interests you so you may ask him."
Shinya nodded - she would. Not many swordsmen still existed, and those around were not strong enough to defeat Beshimi, of course she was interested!
"And also, I will be needing for you to guard Kanryuu for the next few days as I will be busy - "
Whatever chance Aoshi had of this being a normal conversation ended with those words - poor him.
Shinya's expression changed so fast that is was frightening. It went from a serious, business like one to one of pure hatred and anger. But what was different from all the other times was that her anger was so great that her eyes turned violet.
Normally the opponent would think she was less angry, but Aoshi, who trained her for years now, new better. Her eyes only changed colour when she was really livid.
"If you think that I will be wasting my time guarding that money obsessed freak you are completely wrong!! I will do no such thing! You know fairly well what I think of working under him, but since it was you decision fine, that I can't change. But I make sure not to be near him ever - and if you insist I will end up killing him!" At that moment Shinya turned her glare onto Kanryuu who started shaking slightly.
Aoshi looked at her for some time before nodding and turning towards Kanryuu.
"You shall be accompanying us tomorrow then."
Shinya didn't even wait to see is Aoshi had anything else to say to her a she left the room. She didn't care. As much as she would have liked to stay there and beat both Aoshi and Kanryuu she new better than to do that.
But she new that Kanryuu would get what was coming for him - either it be by her hands or someone else's. . .

Not much happed here. Just a sort of introduction into the Meiji era. Next chapter there will be some fights and conflicts
From now on I will be following the manga plot line, but with a few changes here and there. And I won't make it as long as I have my own characters to introduce!!
Hell's Angel and Heaven's Demon.
