Disclaimer: I don't own Rurouin Kenshin or any of its characters. However, my friends and I do own Sarah, Jeff, Leo, Tenkou (not from Fushigi Yuugi!) and Shininegami. Besides, it's not like I can't have a little fun with them…..*smiles evilly*

Author's note: Karou does not existed in my story. Sorry to all you K/K lovers out there. By the by, I would like to thank my friends and to my two muses, Starchild and DarkMagician.

Starchild: "Finally she introduces us!!"

Kenshinlover: "Hey, sorry. It's just I had to write the stupid disclaimer."

DarkMagician: "Take it easy S.C."

Starchild: "Oh, shut up!"

DarkMagician: "You shut up!"

Kenshinlover: "All right you two…stop it right now." *beep…beep* "Huh?" *looks at her computer* "Incoming message? You would be writing to me at 3:00 am?" The screen goes blank, the lights go out, and then and evil laugh sounds thoughout the room. "Umm…I don't think this is a good thing…" looks over to Starchild and DarkMagician* "Guys?" DarkMagician pulls out his staff and chants some ancient language. Then the screen comes back on and the lights come back on. Kenshinlover sees Jack standing by the door with a "I'm in trouble" look. Kenshinlover glares evilly at Jack and picks up DarkMagician's staff. She points it at him and says a few words. Jack finds out that he can't move. "Now, as I was saying…I hope you all enjoy the fic." smiles sweetly at the readers*

Jack: HELP!!

Kenshinlover: "Just ignore him for now. I deal with him later. Now, on to the fic.

Soul of the Sword

Chapter 1- Findings

Sarah made her way down the hallway of her school. It was the last day of school and she wanted OUT! A year of school was all she could take. The bell rang and she ran through the doors to the outside. "Freedom!" She jumped in the air and cried out. She landed and ran home. She changed into jeans and a T-shirt and left a note for her mom, telling her where she was going. She headed down to the street market to look around. While she was looking around, something caught her eye. She headed over to the shop, an old relic store, and looked at what was once a pendent. Below it, was a sword. "Whoa!" she exclaimed. "Meiji" a voice said. She jumped up and turned around. The owner of the voice was and old Chinese man. "Excuse me?" Sarah asked. "I said it's from the Meiji era." he said, "Very old" "How much?" asked Sarah. The old man thought for a minute. "How much do you have?" he asked. "$150 dollars." She said. "I'll sell it to you for $100 dollars" "Deal"

When Sarah got home, her mother was still gone. She made herself some pizza and chips and went upstairs to her room with the sword. After she had eaten, she looked at the sword. It was long and curved. It was rusty and could use a good polish. She went to find some steel wool and wax. After she had gotten all the rust off, she noticed some strange markings on the metal. She looked at it more closely and it said:

Shun Ai ma o a Ni ta-ke

"Weird" she said. She checked the clock. "It's already 11:00 p.m.?!" she exclaimed. "Time to hit the sack." She laid the sword on her desk and went to bed. Unnoticed by Sarah, the Sword glowed briefly, the died down.

Please review!! *gets down on knees with a sad puppy expression on her face* Pretty please with sugar on top?

Starchild: "What are you doing?"

Kenshinlover: "Begging"

DarkMagician: "Why? Your story is good enough. People will review"

her computer beeps with an incoming message*

Kenshinlover: "Whose this from?" her eyes get big and her face pales* "The U.S. Army?!"

Starchild and DarkMagician: "Uh-oh…"
