Soujirou's Dream - chapter 11

Just as the sun was beginning to rise, a dark figue in an isolated house puffed on a cigarette calmly. 'The capture of Misao has gone just as planned... and the letter is on its way to Shinomori... in just a few hours my revenge against Shinomori Aoshi will be complete ! Hahahahahaha !' he thought to himself and smirked.

At about the same time, Aoshi received a letter concerning Misao's kidnap. He quickly left for the dojo to tell the rest so they could work out any plan they could come up with and hopefully save Misao.


ShiNomori AosHi....

As Soujirou stared at the piece of paper, his mind was a total blank. He couldn't sleep the previous night because he was worrying about Misao the whole time.

'Come alone huh... looks like Soujirou can't come.' Aoshi thought and smirked inwardly.

After a long pause, Soujirou suddenly burst, "Shinomori-san, let me come with you !"

Saitou snorted. "Don't be silly, boy. This man has a criminal record, he's despicable I tell you."

Aoshi looked at Soujirou coldly. "I'm going alone, and that's final." With that, he walked out of the dojo.

'Kuso ! I don't care.... even if it takes following him... I'll do it ! Misao....'


Dark clouds loomed in the sky at 3 o'clock that day, like as if the world was going to be destroyed, or either it spelled Aoshi or Tochiro's fate. One of them would be gone by the end of the day.

One of Tochiro's men met Aoshi at the bridge, and led him to the mansion where Misao was being held captive.

Unbeknownst to Aoshi, Soujirou was silently trailing behind.


Aoshi was led to a dark room, the windows were covered by curtains, omitting the sunlight from coming in, and trikles of smoke were trailing behind a huge armchair.

"So you've come." a cold voice rung as the figure behind the armchair slowly rose. "Shinomori... Aoshi."

His face was hidden in the shadows, a katana and washizaki hung from his belt loosely, and he wore a western jacket over a gi and hakama. He held a cigarette between his fingers, and flicked it onto the floor.

He snorted. "12 years... 12 whole years Shinomori... and I haven't been able to get you... until now..."

"What's your motive ?" Aoshi asked icily.

"Hmph. My motive ? What'd you expect ? Do you know how much humiliation you gave me when you kicked me out ? Do you know how much I had to go through to get where I am now ? My family rejected me, I couldn't get anything done... but still ! The only thing that kept me going was revenge against you. And now, 12 years later... just as I expected, your weak point still hasn't changed Shinomori..." he said and shook his head.

"Cut the crap Yagami. You don't deserve to be in Oniwabanshuu. If its a fight you want then its a fight you'll get." Aoshi said as he prepared his sword.


Meanwhile, Soujirou reached the place where Aoshi and the other person went. He was careful to keep a good distance away from them so they couldn't sense his presence or anything, he knew this was Oniwabanshuu, and even if he was kicked out, he was bound to have some tricks up his sleeve.

Soujirou cautiously entered the mansion, and tried to look for any signs of where a person could be held captive. However, Soujirou couldn't find anything unusual when suddenly he heard an exclamation of shock and the next moment, a body falling onto the floor. Thinking it would be strange to have this type of thing happen in a place like this, he ran to investigate and found Misao there ! She had beaten all the men onto the ground. 'Looks like our training finally paid off.' Soujirou thought to himself and smiled.

"Misao !" Soujirou called.

"Soujirou ? What are you doing here ?" Misao ran to him.

"I'm here to get you of course." Soujirou grinned.

"What the heck is happening ?"

"Its kind of a long story, I'd expect Shinomori-san and Yagami-san are fighting right now." Soujirou said.

The name struck Misao. 'Yagami.... isn't that the person Aoshi-sama expelled a few years back ?'


At that same moment, Aoshi and Yagami were in the forest, preparing to fight. Suddenly, without notice, Yagami unsheathed his katana and charged at Aoshi. Aoshi was quick to react, and defended with his twin kodachi still in their sheath.

"You better take out your sword Shinomori... I already know those are twin kodachi..." Yagami smirked.

With that, Aoshi took out his swords and slashed Yagami in his right leg. Then Aoshi continued to do his kempo on Yagami.

"You don't scare me Shinomori... I know exactly where you are." he smirked at charged at the moving figures and hit Aoshi right on. Luckily, Aoshi was able to foresee what he was going to do, and jumped out of the way, and at the same time, sneaked behind Yagami's back and slashed him across.

Yagami stumbled back at hit a tree. Aoshi's previous attack got his right arm at the same time, and he was trying to stop the blood from flowing out. Aoshi pointed his sword at Yagami's face. "Give up Yagami... you know you'll never win."

"No ! I've been waiting all my life for this moment, even if I die I'll have to try !" Yagami protested. With that, he jumped up high and landed behind Aoshi, also slashing his back. "Kisama..." Aoshi muttered as he kicked Yagami into the tree behind him.

"I'm not down yet... Shinomori..." Yagami muttered as he stood up, then charged at Aoshi, jumped, and got Aoshi's left shoulder. Aoshi ignored it and caught Yagami unawares, and slashed his left arm.

"You think you're so great ?!" Yagami yelled and turned around, preparing to slash Aoshi, but he had jumped into a tree. "Hah... trying to escape huh ? You won't get away so easily." Yagami smirked and jumped into the tree opposite.

Aoshi suddenly jumped up, and taking the cue, Yagami jumped off his branch also. They both slashed each other in mid-air, and Aoshi landed back on the tree again. Yagami however, wasn't so lucky, he misjudged the distance and lost his footing, and plunged down. (to his death ?)

Yagami had died trying to get his revenge on Aoshi.


At that same time, Soujirou and Misao finally got to the place where Aoshi and Yagami were fighting. Aoshi already jumped off the tree and was just about to collapse when Misao and Soujirou arrived.

"Aoshi-sama !"
