They all belong to the great Watsuki Nobuhiro.
Short cut?
"Kenshin, do you have any idea where you are going? It's getting dark, and we're still lost
in this maze." Yahiko asked, whining behind Sanosuke.
"Will you keep it down back there? Finding the end of this thing is not as easy as you
think." Sanosuke said, not turning back to look at the boy.
"Hmp! Fine, but if you...hmp!"
"Yahiko?" Sanosuke said, as he turned around.
Shocked, the former gangster called Kenshin, and told him that the boy was missing.
"Yahiko!" Kenshin called out, thinking of something to get his friend back.
Soujirou stood still, while the boy attacked him repeatedly, raising his katana once in a
while to block the attack.
'Something's wrong. His attacks are getting weaker.' Soujirou looked at Setsuna's movements,
something was hindering him. It was not only his attack that was getting worse, he was
losing his agility.
"Tired?" Soujirou asked, smiling.
The raven haired boy stopped to take a deep breath.
"Never!" He shouted before running at Soujirou, only to find he was gone as soon as he
blinked.
"Nani?"
Soujirou took this opportunity, and attacked the boy from the back. And it ended.
'Did I kill him?' Soujirou asked, as he dropped his katana on the floor, staring at his
hands.
The boy turned around. Noticing that there was no blood on the ground.
'I must have turned my blade as I attacked him...'
With that, Soujirou walked up to the boy and apologized before picking up his katana and
running straight into the direction of where Kenshin and the rest were.
"What's the status to far?" Hijikata asked.
Out of nowhere, a girl appeared, dressed in a ninja's uniform.
"Setsuna has been defeated by the Tenken, and it seems that Chikiko has done it again."
Both sighed.
"Again? I thought I ordered him to fight fair this time." Hijikata asked.
"Yes sir. But it seems that old habits are very hard to get rid of." The girl lifted her
head, to reveal her startling crystal blue eyes.
"Fine, after he's done, ask him to come back here."
"Hai!" The girl answered before vanishing into the surrounding.
"Kenshin, what do we do now?" Kaoru asked, coming up from behind Kenshin.
All of them were obviously worried. They have only been in this maze for a few hours, and
they have already lost two of their friends. Not to mention it was getting dark, and they
were all hungry.
"Himura-san!" A boy, his hair and clothes in a mess, appeared from behind the bushes.
"Soujirou!" Kenshin went up to the boy and greeted him, as Kaoru and Hikaru stood together.
"Daijoubu...We should get going before we get stuck here all night. Eh? Yahiko-kun wa doko?"
The boy noticed as he looked around.
"He just disappeared. One minute he's there, and the next, he's gone." Sanosuke nodded as
he approached the two.
Soujirou didn't find the former Zanza bad at all, or what people say about him true at all.
Like once, when he was traveling around a small town, he heard some rumors about the Zanza
being a big monster, who was fierce, and was built like a monster. Soujirou recalled that
he saw the mna with Himura-san when he faught him, and he didn't look anything like what
they say.
The boy turned to examine the walls.
"What are you doing?" Kaoru asked, as she walked up behind Sanosuke.
"Seeing if there is some kind of trick door here or something, Shishio-san had a few here
and there." He smiled at his companions, before going back to take a look at the walls.
"No wonder that Yumi person was able to reach Shishio's room even though we left earlier
then her." Sanosuke mumbled to himself.
The other two men sweatdropped at their friend's 'new' discovery.
"Now then he realizes..." Soujirou said, feeling the walls.
"Ahehehe..." Kenshin just stood by and laughed.
"Nani! You knew and you didn't tell me?!" Sanosuke almost pounced on the red headed samurai
if Kaoru hadn't given him the 'If-you-dare-I-will-kill-you' look.
Minutes passed before they found something.
"Himura-san!" Soujirou called as he pushed something.
Suddenly, a door appeared out of nowhere.
"You think we should go in?" Sanosuke asked.
"Aa. We have to take a risk." Kenshin said, before walking through it.
The rest soon followed.
"Kenshin..." Kaoru went up to the man's side, staying close to him.
They were in a tunnel of some kind. It was dark, and only a few lamps lit the way. From
where they were standing, the tunnel looked like a never-ending road.
"You have got to be kidding me..." Hikaru whispered, before walking up behind Sanosuke, in
front of Soujirou.
"Nope..."
All of them turned to glare at the ex-ganster.
"What?"
They all continued walking down the tunnel, until they heard some voices.
"Hanasei!"
"Stop moving, I'm trying to get you out of here!"
"Huh?"
* pause *
"Now, follow me!"
Suddenly, a door by the side opened. Out came Kaede, and Yahiko behind her.
"Yahiko!" Kaoru shouted, before realizing what she was doing, she ran up to the boy and
hugged him.
"Ergg...Let go of me!" Yahiko said, before taking his shinai and whacking his former sensei
on the head.
As soon as Kaede saw them, she was confused as to what she should do. Lead them straight to
Hijikata or just finish them here.
"Kaede.."
Kaede turned at the sound of her name, only to find her 'sister'.
"What do you want?!" Kaede said, attracting everyone's attention.
"Iie...I just thought you seemed a little different just a second ago."
"Hn!"
"Kaede-chan, why did you rescue Yahiko?" Kenshin asked.
"It was not supposed to be this way..." She mumbled.
"Huh?"
"This way...and quickly..." Kaede ran ahead of them, stopping once in a while to check if
they were all behind her.
Not long after, they came to a door. Two guards were standing guard.
Kaede just signaled for them to follow her before walking up to them. As soon as they saw
her, Kenshin could have sworn that they flinched before they went back on guard.
"They're with me." Kaede said.
Both the guards nodded, before letting all of them through. Even that, as the Kenshin gumi
walked past, the guards stared at them, still not trusting them.
"Is it me or do I feel like someone is watching us?" Sanosuke asked, quickening his pace.
"Why, scared?" Yahiko asked, acting like a chicken as he circled the former Zanza.
Kenshin ignored both of them, keeping his sight only on Kaede and his mind on getting Kenji
back.
"Wait here."
Kaede suddenly vanished again. This time, it was different, because she had no where to
blend into. The walls were brightly decorated. A few portraits hung on the wall. The frames,
as elegant as the rest of the room were.
"Ahh...Himura, long time no see."
"Hijikata...Where is my son?!"
Kenshin, not wanting to waste any time, just moved straight to the point.
"That can wait. I want to get my revenge first. This way Himura." The man said, turning
around.
The funny thing was, the way he and Kenshin spoke, was as if none of the others were
standing there by him. Kenshin didn't try to stay calm like he always was.
As soon as the rest tried to follow him and Hijikata, the guards stopped them, and suddenly,
from out of nowhere, there found themselves surrounded by ninjas.
"Kaoru-san..." The other girl whispered, standing in the centre of the other four fighters.
All ready to fight.
"Daijoubu...Everything will be okay..." Kaoru said, but obviously thinking otherwise in the
back of her mind.
"Aa...I haven't done this in a long time. I wonder if it'll be the same."
The former gangster cranked his knuckles, as he got into his stance.
'Me too...' Yahiko, Kaoru and Soujirou said in their minds.
~*~*~*~*~
Ano...minna-san...I'm getting really tired of this story...even though I hate to admit
it....yare yare...but I want to get to the end where Kenji...Uh hm...nvm....* evil grin *
...anyway, pls r&r, ne? Arigatou, and Happy New Year!!
