Chapter 11-You know, when I made this it was going to be a fan fic
completely in the revolution. But then suddenly I said, "Gasp! I cant keep
making some stories up! I just go to regular time!" And here we are! Yes, I
know proper grammar, I just choose not to use it.
Kenshin arrived in a village just a couple miles south of Sendai. "Sanosake," he said. It was still in his Battousai voice but it seemed like the two had blended together. "We'll stop here, looking at the sun its about three. We traveled about forty miles last night."
"Yeah, and my feet are killing me. . ."
"Better look out or I will. . ." Sano gave him a worried look.
They went into a pub and Kenshin ordered sake. Sanosake decided to as well. "But Kenshin. . . you don't drink."
"Yes I do." (Fact!!! When Kenshin was a Hitoriki he drank!)
"Okay. . ."
The drinks arrived and Kenshin poured the sake into a cup in front of him. Sano took the jug and poured himself a cup. "Ah good old sake," he said.
"Yes. It is quite well when your under stress."
"But Kenshin when did you get stress?" he started poking him in the head.
"If you do not stop I will not think twice about killing you, Sanosake."
Sano took his hand away and started to pour another cup. "What are we going to do now?"
"I don't know. I am going to Sendai and then after that I just don't know what I'll do. Maybe I'll go back to Kyoto."
"But you said you wouldn't go there again, ever."
"When?"
"Do you know who Shishio is?"
"Shish-what?"
"Oh crap."
"What is it?"
"Nothing. . ."
"Well I'm done, we should be on our way."
"Aren't we going to pay?"
"Do what?"
"Pay! You know pay for things?"
"Well, I'll just add it to your tab."
"Damn you. . ." They headed out and Sano was almost hit by a carriage. "Watch where your going!!!" he shouted. It stopped. "Oh crap that's probably some high politician." Kaoru and Yahiko stepped out. Kaoru had tears in her eyes.
"K-Kenshin?" Kenshin turned around. He didn't have a smile on his face though. "I-Is that you?"
"I go by that name, yes. Who are you?"
"Can you tell!" shouted Yahiko. "She's Kaoru, remember? Rat-girl, hag, cooks bad, am I getting close?" Kaoru hit Yahiko over the head with her sword.
"Oh yes. The woman I stayed with for a while. How are you?" (Remember, when Kenshin was a Hitoriki he was actually quite noble when he wasn't killing and slaughtering people)
"Kenshin, you remember me, but at the same time you don't."
"Excuse me?"
"What happened to the nice Kenshin who always had a smile on his face? What happened to the Kenshin who never killed people like you!? What happened to the Kenshin who-"
"He went away," replied Kenshin. "He would have never survived in this world and I'm surprised on how long he could actually keep me suppressed in the back of his head. But now I'm out."
"And what?" said Yahiko.
"I'm a wanderer, and when I get to Sendai I am going to find a dojo to stay at for a while then move on. Like I did yours."
"So is that what you did when you were a wanderer? Just take advantage of people and move on?!"
"Like when I met you, I said that some things I'd like to keep a secret. And that was one of them."
"So how many more do you have!?"
"That is also a secret."
"You asshole!!! I loved you like a father but all this time you were a lie!? A cheat?!"
"I suppose."
". . .Kenshin." She started crying.
"Come on Sano, lets go."
"No Kenshin, you can go. Its like you said in the inn. I have someone to live for, and that's these two. I'm staying with them."
"Fine, miss your 'action'."
"I will."
Kenshin walked off with the sun to his right, heading north.
He headed north along the path that he hadn't traveled for at least five years. He let the breeze move across his hands, and then into his hair. He eventually reached the beach and looked into the ocean while staying onto the path.
He stayed at this view for probably a day or so. At sunrise he awoke on the beach. A couple of people were heading into the ocean and letting the water hit them. It was a man, a woman and a child, probably a family.
Kenshin stood up and dusted himself off. "Excuse me!" he shouted.
"Yes?" said the man.
"How far away is Sendai from here?"
"About. . . a mile or so."
"Thank you."
"No problem, we live there!"
Kenshin smiled at them and continued off. For some reason he had smiled. Kenshin quickly took the smile off of his face and headed towards Sendai.
About ten minutes later he reached the city. He looked on from a cliff. The city was huge, not as big as Kyoto or Tokyo but it was its own size. It had a port that ships headed in and out of and many buildings next to it. They headed into the forest and eventually stopped. "So this is Sendai." Kenshin jumped off the cliff and landed twenty feet later. He then headed down the hill towards the city.
I already have the ending ready for this story, well its been a great ride. Hey maybe it wont end so soon. But I know that I defiantly have the next four or five chapters in my head and all I gotta do now is put them on the computer.
