Reunited At Last with New Visitors
Kenshin looked wild-eyed as the two groups entered into the dojo. Wait a minute, that's Kaoru and Sanoske!! Oh, look there's Yauiko!! Why are they here? I didn't know that they had gained immortality as well. However, as much as Kenshin wanted to, he did not step forward to greet his old friends. I can't risk anything!! And even more carefully, he pried Kaoru's hands away from him and dusted himself off. Performing one of his many practiced bows, he smiled, "Greetings and how may I help you?" "Kenny!!! You know us, we're your friends!! REMEMBER!!!" Kaoru spoke in a tense yet excited voice. Then she glared at him as if to make sure her point got across. It did. Kenshin back away with his hands up in the air, his sword no longer out. "Forgive me Mistress Kaoru." He then scratched the back of his head and looked at Kyle, "Kyle, this is Miss Kaoru and there is Sanoske and Yauiko. Guys, this is Kyle." The friends exchanged greetings to the man and then turned back to Kenshin. Sanoske stepped forward with another man's hand. "And this is Brian. Brian, this is your Batosi, Mr. Kenshin Himura." Brian raised his hand shyly, "Hello," and then he jumped down on his knees and started kissing the ground. "Oh mighty Batosi!! I request your help!! There are terrible demons raging in this part of the world. We need your sword, mighty Batosi! We need your.." "Please. please." Kenshin picked Brian off the floor and dusted him off as well. Then he smiled and bowed slightly. "There is no need for any of that, that there's not. Come, you should know that I have sworn against killing that I have. So, why come to me. I am no help to you that I'm not." "You're THE Kenshin, as in KENSHIN the BATOSI!!!" Kyle yelled gawking at his old school friend. "That I am but you don't need to shout to be heard. I am right beside you that I am." Kenshin turned to his school friend and then touched his shoulder, "I'm still the same guy that I am so you don't have to act differently towards me that you don't." "But you're THE legend!!!" Kyle protested. Kenshin sighed and shook his head, "You'll get use to it that you will." He then folded his arms over his chest and looked at the other bunch of stragglers. Some how, they looked frankly out of place to the Batosi. Odd perhaps. "Who exactly are you?" One of the boys, a teen wearing green and had short black hair, stepped forward. "My name is Yusuke Urameshi and these are my friends; Kuwabara, Hiei, Koenma, Kurama and Botan. We are actually trained demon hunters. I guess this is why we were sent to find you, Kenshin. Actually, I have heard of your kind, the Batosi, very powerful and intelligent creatures. uh. people." "Creatures?" Kenshin replied knowing that these teens were hiding something. The man named Kurama stepped forward and swept his hand through the air as if to ward something away. "That is of no importance to you as of this moment. For now, however, we would like to team up with you and help you rid these demons!" Kenshin shook and looked fiercely at the group and then to his friends, "I told you that I have forsaken the sword, that I have, and I will only use it to protect, that I will." "You must help us for the entire fate of this world and the Spirit World rest on our shoulders. We can't do it without you as well this time." Yusuke exclaimed. "Spirit World?" Kaoru asked surprised that such a place could exist. Another man stepped forward. He wore all black, except you his white collar and his arm was bandaged. He too had black hair but his stood on end until it came to a point. Peering over them all, he replied, "All will reveal in due time. For now your presence is needed. Will you abandon your call?" Something suddenly snapped in Kenshin and he felt miraculously at peace with what this man and the rest were asking. What is wrong with me? What is it that resides in my brain that leaves me feeling like it is right to take up the sword again? Bowing slightly again, Kenshin withdrew his sword from its air-made sheath and glanced at them. "I shall help you but only for the sake of this world and the protection of the inhabitants there of. I shall not kill the innocence, that I shall not." "Good. That's all we ask. So, as friends?" Yusuke asked and outstretched his hand toward Kenshin. Grasping it firmly, Kenshin shook it fiercely and release, "Friends."
