Please read on!!
Please read and review!!
"Kenshin! Are you okay?!" Kaoru cried, running up to the two young men. "Of course, he was with me...heh..." Sanosuke chuckled. "Right...And you did everything. I'll see it when I believe it." Megumi teased him. "Well? What did you find out?!" Katsushiro asked, growing impatient. "Let's go back first. It's not safe to talk here..." Kenshin suggested.
"Yeah, just about anyone can find you." a voice agreed. "Aoshi! What the hell are ya' doin' back here?!" Sansuke exclaimed, watching the tall man make his way towards them. "I was right, wasn't I?" the man in the trench coat asked, slyly.
Back in the Kamiya Dojo
"So, she's doing this to find out about herself and to see why Kage has changed? But, why did she get us involved?" Kaoru asked, still not sure of the story she heard. "Actually, she didn't want anyone involved. But she made the mistake of falling in love. She knew she had a dark past, but she couldn't help herself. She's human, too." Kenshin began to explain. At that statement, Sano looked away from the group.
"Oi, you alright?" Katsushiro asked his best friend. "Yeah...just thinking." Sano replied. "What do you mean she had a dark past?" Yahiko interrupted. "It turns out that she was a thief in her early years. She had learned from her boss, Akira. She was his favorite. In fact, she was so much of a favorite, she was his second in command, they did everything together. That's what made a few followers jealous. But nothing was more of a reward for doing everything for him than performing erotic things for him." Aoshi stated, watching the people around him exchanged shocked expressions.
"What do you mean? And how the hell you know all of this?!" Sano questioned, standing up. "Calm down, Sano..." Megumi said, pulling him back onto the floor. "Like I said before...I have people who find out everything. But, I guess I should start from the beginning...
Aoshi: It was true that she was abandoned. Kenshin's father would not have a daughter. He feared that she would be weak and would not be able to help the family, at least not like a son could. Their mother, however, couldn't let her be killed. So, she left Sakura somewhere where someone was sure to find her. That's where this Akira came in.
He took her in, watched her grow, and taught her everything he knew. His group helped and protected her as well.
Kaoru: Kind of like your situation with Misao, right?
Elsewhere, Kyoto
"AAACCHHHOOOO!!!" a young girl sneezed. "Are you okay, Misao-chan?" the older man asked, startled by the sudden sneeze. "Don't worry, Ji-ya. I'm okay." she confirmed. 'Someone is talking about me...Maybe it's Aoshi-sama!!' Misao thought to herself, smiling.
In the Kamiya dojo
"That is something totally different!! Now, can I please continue?!" a very angry Aoshi yelled. "Hai..." Kaoru whispered, looking at him with a shocked expression. 'Now there's something you don't see everyday...the icicle yelling at the top of his lungs like a mad man...heh heh...' Katsushiro chuckled to himself. "What are ya' laughin' about?" Sano asked, confused. "Nothin...heh.." his best friend replied.
"What else happened?" Kenshin asked, being the only serious one.
Aoshi: Well, anyway, before I was rudely interrupted... When she hit her teen years, he was already in his early thirties. Somehow, even I don't understand, they fell in love. Every night, Akira would take her in his private quarters and have her perform for him. They wouldn't actually have sex, but they came pretty close. She loved him so much, that she would do anything for him. Even go as far as that... Word got around that she was the boss' favorite. They didn't even have a vote on anything, because everything was assigned to Sakura.
That's when they started plotting. The rest of the 'Shadow Pack', as they were called, killed him off, leaving him to die in Sakura's arms. However, they didn't have the heart to kill her because they grew up with her. And also, she was so young and sweet to them. But, after some time, the New Federation finds them and kills off the rest of the Shadow Pack, Kage and Sakura being the only survivors. Soon, Kage takes her and finishes training what the group had to offer. Unfortunately, Kage left her with a family where she trained for the rest of her life to catch up to Kage. Earlier this year is when she decided she was ready. That pretty much leads up to the present.
"Damn, and you knew all of this?" Katsushiro exclaimed, impressed by his skill to obtain the information. "Now I understand why she is the way she is..." Kenshin muttered.
"Where are you going?" Megumi asked, watching Sano get up. "I'm just gonna' get a breath fo fresh air. I need a little time to think right now." he replied softly.
"Poor Sanosuke...It must be hard for him to take all of this..." Kaoru stated, feeling sorry for him. "But, there is one more question... Right after talking with her, we were suddenly transported outside. But, we didn't go through a door or anything like that... How is that possible?" Kenshin questioned, rising from his seat.
"That was another reason a lot of people wanted her. She was born with some sort of power in which she can do anything. If you were smart, you would keep her around and you could be invincible! Which is why I think that's the only reason for Kage keeping her around." Aoshi began to explain.
"But we have to get her back! She's still Kenshin's sister, right?! We have to help her!" Yahiko interrupted. "Right! And I have the perfect plan..." Katsushiro chimed in.
Outside
The former gangster now known as Sanosuke stepped out into the field. 'Jo-chan...I can't believe that this is happening... But don't worry, I'm sure we can do something...' he thought to himself, looking up at the moon. 'Oh, I'm sure there is something you can do...' a voice entered his mind. "Nani?!" Sano exclaimed, breaking out of his daze.
"Have you forgotten about us already?" a familiar voice added. 'No..' Sano said to himself, his eyes wide with shock. He slowly turned around to find two dark figures. One was very tall and gave off an evil aura. The other one next to him gave Sano a sudden chill.
"Oh Sano-san... Do you still get the chills when I'm around?" the voice cackled as it's owner stepped into the moonlight. "Jo-chan..." Sano whispered the name, shocked at what came into view.
"Do you like what you see? Or are you not satisfied? Why don't you demonstrate what else you have, Night Goddess? Otherwise known as...Sakura. Ha ha!" Kage laughed, also stepping into the moonlight. "What the hell did you do to her?!" Sano exclaimed, becoming enraged.
Sakura, now known as the Night Goddess, winked at Sano, devilishly. She bent over as if she was in pain. Only to surprise Sanosuke as large, black feathery wings sprouted from her back. Her eyes became endlessly dark and her teeth grew fangs that glistened in the light. And within a few moments, a long staff appeared in her slender hands. "Prepare to die!" the Night Goddess cried, bringing the spear-like end close to Sano's face. He looked up at her with sadness in his eyes, trying to think... Trying to figure out what happened.
Back in the dojo
"What was that?!" Kaoru exclaimed. "I don't know...but we better go check! It sounds like it was outside and Sano's out there!" Kenshin suggested, grabbing his sword. Everyone picked up their weapons and headed for the door.
When the group made their way outside, they found something they thought would never happen! "Sakura-chan! What are you doing?!" Kaoru cried, suddenly. "That's Sakura?! How can you tell?!" Yahiko asked, surprised. "She's gone beserk! This must be Kage's work." Aoshi exclaimed, watching the scene before them.
Sakura expanded her black wings behind her as she held Sanosuke by his neck. Her other hand was extended, her claws glistening in the light. "What have you done to her?!" Kenshin cried, slowly taking out his sakaba sword.
The rurouni began to run, making his way quickly towards Kage. Ignoring everything around him, just focusing on his goal. Nearing the devil-like warrior, Kenshin jumped high into the air... swinging his sword downward... and then... "KENSHIN!!"
