Kaoru had been watching and listening from the very beginning. Kenshin believed that this Yuji had a pure spirit. If Kenshin thought it was right, then Kaoru didn't see any problem. But still she felt a bit unsure about this mysterious ninja. She had felt that something was wrong--out of place about him ever since she saw him riding on Sanosuke's shoulder. But what? She stepped forward and confronted Yuji.
Yuji looked up at her questioningly. "You say that you wish to be a student of one of my friends, and if Kenshin believes that Sanosuke should teach you, then I have no argument," she said. "But after all that Kenshin has done for you, you have not revealed anything at all important about yourself! Who are you, where did you live exactly, how did you get here, how can you speak Japanese so well, how did you know about Sanosuke and my Kenshin??" she demanded.
Yuji's ears perked up at "my Kenshin." The ninja smiled knowingly and inclined his head toward Kaoru. "I wish you good fortune and many healthy children," Yuji said warmly.
Kaoru turned a radioactive shade of red and covered her face in embarrassment. "No! It's not like that!" she cried, embarrassed. She laughed nervously and waved a hand at a sweat dropping Kenshin and Sanosuke.
Just then Yahiko showed up, running with a letter in his hand. "Hey, everybody! The weasel girl sent us another letter!" he yelled.
Kaoru had never been more happy to see him. "Yahiko, I'm so glad you're back!" she cried, running up to him and wrapping him in a bone-crushing hug. Yahiko's eyes popped out as she squeezed him. His face began to turn blue. "Eh, wench, get your dirty hands offa me!!" he yelled.
Sanosuke turned to Kenshin. "She's using him as a diversion," he said.
"Eh…"
Kenshin smiled apologetically to Yuji, then looked again at the ninja's face, which was contorting into troubling expressions. "Chang-dono, are you alright?" asked a startled Kenshin. Yuji did not answer, seeming to be straining to control something inside of him.
Yuji gave up. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAA~!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The hysterical ninja gripped his gut with his hands and rolled in laughter. Soon the whole group was laughing. Yahiko took advantage of the moment and wriggled out of Kaoru's iron-like grip.
"Hey, who's the messed-up looking ninja?" He pointed a finger at Yuji.
Sanosuke explained the whole thing to him.
"A new student, eh?" Yahiko grinned. "Well, welcome! It'll be interesting to have another student here! You look strange enough, but I guess compared to what Sanosuke wears you're pretty fashionable…"
"Oi!! What the hell is that supposed to mean, you yaro?!?!"
Yahiko smirked as Sanosuke got him into a headlock and began giving him a noogie.
"Alright, alright, that's enough, you two," laughed Kenshin. "We have a new guest to take care of!"
"I'll go make some tea!" said Kaoru, running towards the main building."
The group sat clustered around the table sipping tea. Kaoru eyed Yuji doubtfully, still suspecting something to happen.
"Oi, Jo-chan, what are you oggling at? Do you expect his head to explode or somethin?" muttered Sanosuke.
Yuji stood up abruptly. "No, it's my fault," the ninja said. "Kaoru-dono was right to demand information from me. If I'm going to be Sanosuke's student, I should at least reveal what I am to you all."
"Oi, that's Sanosuke-SENSEI to you, buddy!!" Sanosuke grumbled.
Yuji began to take the ninja mask off.
He's horribly deformed! Yahiko thought.
He's really half man, half dog! Thought Sanosuke.
He's really an incredibly rich, handsome man! Kaoru thought.
? Kenshin wondered.
Yuji dropped the mask and undid the hair fastener, then smiled at all of them. Everyone gasped. Kaoru put her hand up to her mouth. Kenshin smiled admirably at Yuji's skill.
Yuji Chang was a woman.
12:29 PM (EDT) - Finally finished with Chapters 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this fan fiction! This originally started while listening to Kenshin mp3's, and I started to daydream about what it would be like to be Sanosuke's student. Well, the music inspired and motivated me to write this fan fiction, so I eagerly obliged!! o^_^V" This fan fiction was written on Thursday, August 23rd, 2001. I hope you liked it!! woo~!!!! I can't believe I finished this much! I almost quit after Yuji met Sanosuke, but my inner-conscience told me to stop being a lazy-ass, so I kept going! And look at how much I managed to write!! But don't worry, there's much more to come!! ^_O" -TBOtaku
