Chapter 12-Damn that Kenshin! Well he's still the good guy. . . I think. .
.
Kenshin walked down the moonlight street of Sendai. He'd walked around all day and hadn't found a dojo taking borders yet. Kenshin continued down the street in till a woman that looked almost twenty, and had the same striking hair as his. He looked at her as she ran up to him.
"Hey you!" she yelled. "Are you the man who has been killing people in the name of my school!"
"N-No, I just got here." Kenshin was having a uneasy feeling.
"He's here!" shouted a policeman. "He's-" a sword cut him off. The dead policeman fell and a man about six foot stood behind him. His face showed itself in the light.
". . .Aoshi Shinomori. . ." Aoshi smirked. "What are you doing in Sendai?"
"The Battousai, you know, I have exactly the same question for you."
"I heard people were getting slaughtered like pigs so I came here."
"Battousai, there is one bad thing about you. . ."
"And that would be?"
"You're a very, very, bad liar. Besides, I've heard you are killing again." The woman looked at Kenshin and then back to Aoshi. They were in a 10x10 alleyway.
"Wait!" she yelled. "What's going on here?"
"Nothing!" screamed Aoshi, he struck her down and she passed out. Kenshin's eyes became very loving and caring again.
"Aoshi!?" he yelled. "Why did you do that to her?!"
"She was in my way."
"That's not a reason to kill her!!!"
"Mmph. I'm not dead, Battousai." She struggled to get up, and then placed herself on a wall. "Just hur-" she passed out again.
"Damn it!"
"Oh! The Battousai is swearing now? Well I still haven't defeated you."
"I am not a child, that I'm not."
"Well get ready to fight!?" he charges Kenshin who gets into a defensive position. Aoshi threw his sword at Kenshin. Kenshin quickly parried as Aoshi ran right beside him. He jumped off the wall and slashed again. Kenshin blocked it, but barely. Aoshi tried another slash before landing. Kenshin's sword slowly moved out of his hand.
It bounced off of the wall next to the woman. The noise woke her up, she held her shoulder as she stared at the sword. It glistened off of the moonlight. "You!" yelled Kenshin as Aoshi charged him. "Throw the sword here!" She slowly moved her hand to it and tossed it with all of her strength.
Kenshin caught it and blocked Aoshi barely. He then dove under his next swing and hit his leg, it tripped him. Kenshin stepped on both of Aoshi's legs and pointed the sword at his neck. It slowly moved, but then stopped. Sweat poured down his face. "What are you doing?" said the lady as she got up, leaning on the wall. "Kill him!"
Kenshin tried it again, but his muscles cramped up as soon as it touched his neck. "Come on Kenshin," said Aoshi. "Kill me."
"I-I. . .I cant, I wont." Aoshi tried to move his hands, but they were quickly shoved down again. Kenshin then backed off of him and sat beside the wall. He stared at his legs, he still held his sword in his left hand. It dropped and a small cloud of dust appeared. A tear came from his eye as Aoshi stood up.
"Real men don't cry," he said as he walked away.
"I'm not a man," said Kenshin. Aoshi turned around. "I'm-I'm a manslayer, a killer, a Hitoriki."
"Then why didn't you kill me?"
"Because. . .I wont."
"Why not?"
"You know!!!"
"I don't," said the lady, she looked a little sad besides the wound on her arm. "Why don't you tell me?"
"I don't even know-"
"I don't care!" she said.
"You should get those wounds healed first, that you should. You could lose too much blood and die." Kenshin stood up, a smile somehow had made its way across his face.
Earlier that day, around three
". . .Yahiko," said Kaoru as she stared out the window of her
carriage.
"Yeah?"
"Tell me why we are still heading towards Sendai."
"I would if I knew." Yahiko sat opposite to her, he stared out the window as well. The beach presented itself. "Woah, look at this!"
"What-oh its beautiful!" said Kaoru. "I love seeing the ocean!"
"Really nice, huh?" said Sano. He was on top of the carriage.
"Sanosake!?"
"The one and only!"
"Why are you here-oh wait, probably getting a free ride. . ."
"No! I wanted to find Kenshin so I thought it would be easier if I just borrowed yours! But then when I came out you were already in it so I had to jump on top!"
"Right. . ."
Later that night, again, right around the time Kenshin vs. Aoshi happened
Kaoru stepped off of the carriage and started walking down the streets. Yahiko jumped off and said, "See that!!! I cleared it! Wooh!" (I do this a lot). Sano did the same and cheered.
"I went farther then you!"
"Nah ah!"
Kenshin and Aoshi walked past Kaoru, Kenshin stopped a second and was quickly pushed by Aoshi who was holding the woman, she'd fainted again.
"Come on Yahiko and Sanosake!!!" shouted Kaoru. They started chasing Kenshin and Aoshi. Kenshin quickly noted her saying that and started off. He and Aoshi ran past three alleyway's and then when they turned the corner Kenshin and Aoshi jumped up on the railings.
"Where is he!?" said Yahiko. "You must be going crazy, again."
"Shut up! I swear I saw him, you would've too if you weren't so happy about jumping some measly stairs!"
Aoshi looked down on the tiling, "Damn it, Battousai, it rained her yesterday, the tiles are all wet. I could fall at any-!" he fell back and slid off of the roof. He landed on Sano. The woman went up into the air and Kenshin caught her.
Aoshi got off of Sano and held his back. "Of all the people I could have landed on it had to be you!"
"What is that supposed to mean!?" said Sano.
The lady finally regained consciousness again. "Oh God my head. . ."
"Aoshi! Come on we got to get her to a hospital!"
"Kenshin what about us?"
"Meet us there!" he jumped off as Aoshi quickly followed him.
"But we don't know where anything in this town is. . .and plus its dark. . ." said Kaoru as they walked off.
Mwhahah, it didn't come out quite the way I intended it to be. . . but then I remembered Kaoru, Yahiko, and Sanosake so it had to change. But for the good! Like spandex!"
