Destiny
Chapter 11
When the smoke abandoned the room, everyone saw a female figure on one knee.
"I didn't expect anything less from the Manslayer that I didn't" Mai mocked him and tried to get up, but her energy would hold up. She started this battle with less than half her energy and now there was less.
'I'm not dead yet' Mai said to herself.
Kenshin heavily breathe as that attack had taken a lot out of him too. He saw that blood dripped from Mai's fingers as she got up and started walked slowly towards him.
"Impossible, that should have paralyzed you!" Yahiko screamed.
"Don't underestimate me because I'm a girl!" Mai ran towards Kenshin with her sword in the air.
Kenshin tried to block her slashes as they came like lighting. She continue to attack with the rest of her energy, Kenshin could only predict some of her movements but not all of it. Finally one brutally assault unpredictable to Kenshin and knocked him to his knees.
"Battousai, you've been a fine opponent, but now to prove that the Oniwanbanshu group is the strongest and will always be the strongest. I will finish you with the final attack of Aoshi Shinomori" Mai stood with her sword slowly raising it up horizontally.
"Kenshin! You know this move! You can beat her!" Kaoru yelled.
"Mai....... even your master couldn't beat me with that move, what makes you can?" Kenshin stared into her eyes and saw a girl fighting for love.
"My love will see me through" Mai surrounded Kenshin like Aoshi had once before, but there was something different about this attack compare to Aoshi's.
'She's faster than Aoshi' Kenshin panicked just a bit.
Mai closed her eyes and concentrated on the man she surrounded. She felt that Kenshin had stood up and she began to begin her attack.
Kenshin had indeed stood up and was in a defensive stance with one hand holding his hand and the other holding the case.
"Kaiten Kenbu!" Mai said as she said landing on her feet lightly. Kenshin just stood there couldn't move a limb of his body. Mai slide her sword back into its case and turned around.
"The title of the strongest now belongs to Aoshi Shinomori" Mai walked up to Kenshin.
"Kenshin! What's wrong?" Sanosuke didn't see why he didn't attack her or at least tried to stop her attack.
"It's no use; he's paralyzed when I attack his nerve. His brain can send all the messages he wants to make his body move, but it's no use because it's blocked off." Mai hit Kenshin's neck with two of her fingers and he immediately fell to his knees. He was in terrible pain and was in no condition to continue fighting.
"Where did you learn such an attack?" Kenshin had the hardest time speaking.
"My brother, I know you're in the greatest pain. I will heal you after you pronouns you're title as the strongest as proclaim Oniwanbanshu group the strongest" Mai put her hand on his neck.
"You've won the battle, the Oniwanbanshu group are the strongest people I have ever fought against that they are" Kenshin took over 2 minutes to say.
Mai hand started to flow a bright white light and soon Kenshin was able to breathe normal again. He stood up and he still felt a little pain, but it was nothing compare to what he felt before.
"You'll still feel just a little pain, but it will go away in half an hour or less" Mai was all out of energy now. She couldn't breathe and she had the hardest time standing up. Despite the pain she forced herself to stand up and see off to the Kenshin team leave.
"Mai........" Aoshi came up behind Mai only to find she fell backwards and was unconscious
"Mai!" Aoshi yelled.
"There's no use calling out to her" The strange man appeared again.
"What's wrong with her?" Aoshi yelled as Mai was lying lifeless in his arms.
"She's out of energy, healing people take a lot out of her" The strange man answered.
"Will she be okay?" Beshimi stepped in.
"She'll be fine" The man was surprise that he asked him.
"She saved our lives and also gave us the title of the strongest. It would be wrong for us not to care for her" Shikijou also kneed down to see the beautiful woman asleep.
"Who are you........ If not answer any of my other questions answer that" Aoshi handed her to Shikijou and commanded him to take her to his room.
"I....... I am her brother" The man finally revealed himself as he gentle pulled away his hood.
"Her brother who died?" Aoshi shocked.
He nodded. "Heaven and hell both agreed to send me to fix what had happen"
"What was the mistake in time?" Aoshi asked again.
"The manslayer's fighting style was supposedly to end with him, but his line continue and yours, Aoshi's you killed yourself causing heaven and hell to be in chaos. You were destined to pass on your fighting style and to fix this we gave you want you wanted. Your comrades and the title of the strongest in hope that you will listen to me and do as I say" Mai's brother explained.
"I, pass on my style?" Aoshi didn't know what to think of this. Just the fact that he will start a family and have his own son learning his techniques scared him half to death.
"Yes......... If you don't cooperate with us....... I am commanded to take your followers one by one. Then after than I have no choice to take from you.......... My sister" It hurt him more to think about taking his younger sister's life.
"You mean our commander has to start a family with Miss Mai?" Hannya interrupted.
"He just needs to pass on his style to a bloodline.......... I have no problem with Miss Misao......... Even though it will just hurt my sister after she told proclaim that she loves you Aoshi" He eyed Aoshi with was still in shock.
This comment startled Aoshi to come back to reality. "I.......I........"
"Aoshi you have plenty of time until that day comes" He said as he threw something down at Aoshi.
"What's this?" Aoshi looked at it closer.
"My sister always admired that necklace; if you decide early and you pick my sister give her that necklace." With that said the man disappeared.
"Wait!" Aoshi screamed.
