Destiny

Chapter 6





The sounds of clashing swords in the background of where Aoshi was walking to.

"I wonder what that could be." Aoshi said to himself.

"You foreign woman, how can you possibly beat me!" Aoshi heard a manly voice said.

"Foreign woman?" Aoshi realized who it was. He rushed towards the sound of the swords being swung.

When Aoshi got to the place he saw Mai and a stranger fighting. The stranger swung his sword at Mai, but with her ability to move like a speeding bullet she dodge and appear behind the stranger. The stranger turned around and swung his sword sideways attempting to slice her in half. Mai jumped higher than any man or woman Aoshi had ever seen.

Mai came rushing down sideways head first with her reverse-blade sword in her hands ready to swing. With a blink of an eye Mai had already swung her sword and knocked the stranger off his feet and on to the floor. Blood gusted out of his mouth and he was unconscious.

"If you insist on keeping those foreign clothes on, you'll have more fights than that" Aoshi suddenly spoke after he saw Mai incredible victory.

"Aoshi" Mai was shaken a little to see Aoshi there who was watching her.

"Here I think this will suit you" Aoshi held out a brown package tied up with old string.

"What is it?" Mai walked up it the square looking package and investigated suspiciously.

"Its clothes" Aoshi answered the childish girl.

"What's wrong with my clothes?" Mai pulled the edge of shirt and looked at it. Mai had tight dark jeans on with a collar shirt that didn't cover her whole body; it only went down enough to cover half her belly button.

"They make you look like you're from another time" Aoshi thrust the package into her gentle hands and walked right passed her.

"I am from another time" Mai turned around with a 'duh' face and followed Aoshi.

"Do you want to get into more fights?" Aoshi stopped and turned around.

"No..........." Mai got his point.

"Then you should put those clothes on, they should be your size. Also I hope they are too you're liking" Aoshi again headed back to his living quarters.

"First time a man brought me clothes that I'm going to wear" Mai made an unlikely face, but followed him again.

"That face doesn't suit you" Aoshi said without looking back.

"You didn't look back" Mai surprised.

"I don't have to" Aoshi kept on walking. Mai stuck out her tongue at Aoshi.

"I saw that" Aoshi once again said without peeking behind him.

"You're mean" Mai ran after him and hook her arm to his. Aoshi was shocked by her commotions, but he did not fight it.

"How did you get away from my four comrades?" Aoshi noticed that none of his followers were watching or protecting her.

"Those four were your comrades? They scared me half to death with their scary faces. I thought they were ghosts!" Mai explained in shock.

Aoshi smirked for the second time and kept quiet for the rest of the walk back to Kanryu's mansion.







"Hannya............ I thought you were watching over Miss Mai" Aoshi harshly roared.

"I am, she is in her.........." Hannya saw Mai in back of Aoshi waving with an innocent smile.

"I'm sorry commander" The Oniwanbanshu spy bowed.







"Aoshi!" Kanryu burst into his room.

Aoshi woke quite abruptly and he was blinded by the sun shining through his dark windows.

"Miss Megumi has escaped" Kanryu shouted loud enough for everyone in the mansion to hear.

"I will send Beshimi to look for her at once" Aoshi answered calmly as he knew how the next few days will turn out.
