Destiny

Chapter 16

"Aoshi" The man with the crossed scar on his cheek spoke.

"Himura" Aoshi return his greeting with his same harsh expression.

"How are you doing?" He brightened up.

"Kenshin!" Kaoru knocked his head.

"Oro?" Kenshin felt the bump on his head.

"Why do you still act so polite towards the group who defeated you?" Kaoru got a little mad.

"Better his group had the better fighter, doesn't mean we can't be friends. Everyone can see that we are on the same side and the same motives to protect Japan" Kenshin smiled.

"Kenshin! You're unbelievable!" Sanosuke spoke

Kenshin smiled and turned back to Aoshi. "I did not see Miss Mai when I came in, that I didn't"

"She's not here" Aoshi turned away.

"Oro?"

"She's not here" Aoshi repeated.

"I see" Kenshin with a more serious face on now that he knew that he had said something to offend Aoshi.
"Shikijou, Hyottoko, Beshimi, Hannya........ We are now heard by to work with Himura-san and his group to protect Japan from the devastating attacks" Aoshi started to say to his men.

"Yes Commander"

"The police say that this army is very powerful despite its size" Aoshi continued.

"We have beaten many armies before, this should be a piece of cake" Hyottoko relaxed.

"I hope that is the case that I do" Kenshin spoke up.
"Mai-kun Thank you so much for protecting us from that last army that came here to try to take over our little town" Akahito worshipped the ground she stepped on.

"You don't have to thank you Akahito" Mai blushed a little

"You are really a Goddess"

"No, just a curse that was left upon me" Mai remembered his brother and family.

"Don't speak of yourself like that Mai! You are wonderful; you saved so many of our lives!" Akahito smiled.

"Thank You" Mai smiled.
