Chapter 1: Reality?
~*~*~Present day Japan. Kanagawa Prefectural Shohoku High School. Library.~*~*~
Miyagi Ryota was reading a book on the history of Japan. He was just scanning the contents without much interest until he came across a name which caught his attention - Hitokiri Battousai. He read that Battousai married the woman who took him in when he was a rurouni. He protected and rescued her on countless occasions and his wife too, saved him from the Battousai who threatened to awaken every time he is in battle. However, a tragedy befell upon them. Ryota shut the book with tears in his eyes.
"Sob. That's so sweet. I wish Aya-chan and I were like that... without the tragedy, that is."
People started to stare and whisper so Ryota wiped the tears from his eyes with the back of a hand and strode out of the library. He immediately went to the basketball court as practice was about to start. Upon reaching there, he noticed that Rukawa Kaede, ace basketball player of Shohoku High, was already there. Ryota smirked as he saw Rukawa did a tornado dunk.
"Cool move there, Rukawa," Ryota commented.
He had to admit that he was envious of the people who were tall enough to do a dunk but he was proud of his own basketball talents as he was one of the best point guards in Japan, and even with his height, he is able to jump high enough to almost touch the hoop. Rukawa acknowledged his comment and presence by giving a brief nod and saying 'sempai'.
"TEME, RUKAWA! HOW DARE YOU COME BEFORE TENSAI!"
"D'aho."
Ryota grinned and asked, "Yo, Hanamichi! How's Haruko?"
Sakuragi turned SD and waved.
"Ryochin! Have you and Ayako-san made any progress yet?"
Suddenly, the gym door slid open with a bang and Akagi Takenori and Mitsui Hisashi entered.
"Ore? Where are the rest?" Ryota asked, noticing the absence of the rest of the team.
"This is a special training for the five starting members only," Akagi replied.
"Sou desu ne, Gori. Tensai will lead us to victory!" Sakuragi shouted and received a punch on his head.
Ryota went to the side of the court to put down the thick History book he was holding.
"Ryota, I'm glad to see that you're finally beginning to act serious towards your school work," Akagi commented, spotting the book.
"Hmm... Japan's History, eh? I guess the Tokugawa Era is written inside?" Mitsui asked.
"Of course! I love that part! The samurais are so cool!" Ryota replied, his eyes shining with excitement.
Sakuragi and Rukawa just stared at their sempais, question marks popping from the top of their heads. The seniors started tugging at the book and Sakuragi joined in, for the fun of it.
"I wanna see it too!"
"Move away, d'aho."
Rukawa too had joined in the tugging as he was overcome with curiosity. Suddenly a blinding white light glowed from the book and they were swallowed by it.

"Tadaima!"
"Tadaima, Kenshin!"
"Kaoru-dono! Sessha bought the tofu and guess who sessha saw?" Kenshin said cheerfully.
Kaoru got up to look and as Kenshin entered, Misao and Aoshi too entered.
"Misao-chan!"
"Kaoru!"
They ran up to meet each other and began to whisper.
"How's it going with Aoshi?" Kaoru asked.
"No luck. How about you and Himura?"
Kaoru shook her head sadly.
"Daijoubu! We're going to do it soon!" they shouted.
Kenshin sweatdropped whereas Aoshi looked a little frightened.
"Oi Kenshin! Hayaku. I'm starving," Sano said.
He was sitting on the verandah, chewing on a fishbone.
"That's all you ever do. Eat. Why can't you ever help with the chores?" Yahiko grumbled from behind.
He was mopping the floor and looked really angry.
"'Cos they're all part of your training," Sano replied lazily.
Yahiko jumped onto Sano's head and began gnawing.
"Brat."
Suddenly, they all began to glow with a soft white light and they began to fade.
"Wha... What's happening?" Sano asked, surprised.
He raised an arm and his eyes nearly popped out when he was able to see through it. It was translucent!
"Kenshin," Kaoru sobbed.
"Kaoru-dono," Kenshin ran up to Kaoru who was looking as though she was about to faint.
Seeing the good opportunity, Misao did the same.
"Aoshi-sama," she whispered, before collapsing.
However, Aoshi did not react the way Kenshin did and run to her. Instead, he merely strode to her and held her hand.
"Kenshin, do you think this is an attack or spell of some sort?" Aoshi asked.
"Sessha..."
Before Kenshin could finish with his reply, they disappeared.

Author's note: Hm... I think you can guess what's happening, ne? I don't know what to say about this fic... Just felt like writing a crossover and this fic popped into my head.
