Chapter 9-This story has gone on quite a while now, almost a month.
Actually a month in about ten days, woot! I thank Battousai99 (I think
that's your name) for putting us on his good ol' favorites list. Thank ye.
(Damn, no punchline at end of monologue.)
"Oh you think you're a funny man!?" he took out his weapon. A Kantana. Kenshin took his out and stood fast in his attack position.
The giant man threw the woman to the ground and charged him. Kenshin blocked and ducked under his sword. Kenshin sliced his leg with his sword. The man dropped, his leg broke in the middle. It went straight then went down two inches and straight again, on the other side of his leg his bone stuck out a little.
"Is he dead!?" screamed the lady.
Kenshin turned and smiled at her. "No, he wont be able to walk again, I know that." ". . .really?!"
"Yes, it will. Now lets get you home, we shall."
"A-Alright."
Kenshin awoke again. He was lying down on the ground. He got up and dusted himself off. He walked into the inn and asked for a room.
Kaoru got off the carriage. She knew the village well. Yahiko got off and said, "Hey there's an inn, lets stay there tonight!"
"Alright, I think I have enough for about two more stays at inn's then I'm broke."
"'Kay, now lets go!"
They walked in the inn and asked for a room. The landlady gave them the key and they went into the room exactly opposite of Kenshin's. As soon as their door shut Kenshin opened his. His eyes were wide.
He inched open Kaoru's door. She sat down on her bed and Kenshin quickly closed it. "What was that?"
Shit! Kenshin ran into his room and his door shut as soon as Kaoru's opened. Kaoru walked over and knocked on Kenshin's door. It opened and no one stood there.
Kaoru walked in. She looked around and left. The window lay open as she closed the door. Kenshin put the key in a pocket and kept walking towards Sendai. He only had one hundred and thirty miles left.
Sanosake's carriage pulled up in a village just in front of Kenshin's position, at midnight Kenshin would probably get there.
He got out and walked to the inn. The carriage pulled off as he went inside. He walked into the inn and rang the bell. "One second! Alright what do you want?"
"Do you have a free room?"
"Do you have two yen?"
"Damn it. . . here you go you imperialist." He muttered.
"Up the stairs to the left, number five."
Sano walked in, it was smaller then he had imagined. He sat down on the bed and rested his back to the wall. He then fell asleep.
Later that night-twelve thirty
"Hello???" Kenshin rang the bell again and again. "Is anyone here? I've been here for fiv-"
"I heard you!"
"Do you have a free room?"
"We're full."
"Please, I really need a place to say tonight. If not I'll stay outside, then people will think bums are outside you business. Then I'll stop taking baths and I'll stink. Then that will drive away business." (Kenshin really knows how to haggle.)
"Fine. You mind sharing rooms?"
"Not at all."
"Number five the stairs to the left. Now go to sleep."
Kenshin walked up the stairs not knowing what to expect. He opened the door. He found a lantern and light it. "Hello? I'm your room mate for- Sanosake!?"
"Wha. . . Kenshin!?"
"What are you doing here?!"
"What are YOU doing here!?"
"I'm a wanderer!"
"I'm looking for you!"
"Why!?"
"Because Kenshin, it would be boring without you at the dojo. I mean Yahiko and Kaoru are alright and all but you're the person that seems to bring the action. And if I have to I'll be a wanderer too!"
"No. . .you cant do that. Get a job or something, get a family. Don't become a wanderer. I have no one, you do."
"Who?!"
"Uhm. . . Megumi?"
"Right, well I'll follow you to the pits of hell Kenshin. I aint leaving."
Yahiko walked outside. It was a cold night, nothing was happening. He smiled at natures beauty. He liked it. Yahiko walked back inside to find that Kaoru wasn't there. "Kaoru?"
The door flung open. Kaoru was crying. "Yahiko. . ."
"Yeah?"
"Kenshin was here. . . He was in the room right beside us."
"Where is he now?"
"I don't know, but he's probably still heading north."
"Well lets go!"
"No, tomorrow, then we can get a carriage and find him sooner."
". . .fine! I'm going to bed, see ya."
"Oh you think you're a funny man!?" he took out his weapon. A Kantana. Kenshin took his out and stood fast in his attack position.
