~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The Legend of Rianeshi
Ch. 3 A New Story
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Kaoru stared deep into the strangers' eyes, as if searching for an answer.
"H-how did you know my name?" Kaoru muttered.
"I, I don't know. I mean I should, but I don't, errr. I just looked at you and just knew you're name, it just popped into my head."
The girl's big and strange eyes scanned the room, instantly knowing everyone's names as she looked at the people surrounding her.
"You're Megumi, you're Sanosuke, Yahiko, and you're, you're Kenshin."
"How could she have possibly known my name?!!!! She's a spy!!!! That's the only explanation!!!" Sanosuke practically yelled.
" I'm not! I swear!!!" the stranger yelled." I don't even know where I am! I promise! Please believe me!!!"
"Hmf," Sano silently disagreed.
"By the way, I got a few questions," she started," Where AM I, what year is it? What day is it? How did I get here? And who were those men chasing me?"
"Well," Yahiko jumped in, "You're in Tokyo, Japan, at the Kamiya Dojo."
"It's 1867, and it's been 8 days since Sir Ken found you," Megumi added on.
"Before anything else is said," Kenshin butted in, "What's you're name?"
"M-my name?" the girl stuttered. "It's, ahh...., oh! It's Leah! Leah, ah, oh man!!! I can't remember my last name!!"
"Well, where are you from Leah?" Kaoru asked.
"I'm from, aahhhh, well, I don't know that either, ah!!! Oh my gosh!!! I can't remember anything!! What is the deal!!!!" Leah said quickly. "Well, I can't remember anything since before I was chased.
Kenshin spoke before another word was said, saying, "Leah, do you remember who was chasing you? Do you remember what they looked like, or why they were chasing you?"
"Well," she began, "I don't remember why, but they had been chasing me for two days. One of the two men had blue hair, and he was kind of short, but a little taller than me, and had a bandana on his head. The other guy had green hair, that was long and spiky. They both carried swords. All that I remember at the beginning of my big chase was waking up on a beautiful silky bed....
'Wow, what a soft bed. Hey how'd I get here? Where the heck am I?'
"Yes master, she's awaken."
'What?'
'Who are these people?'
There were two people with blue and green hair, on either side of Leah's bed. They started reaching for her, trying to grab her.
"Get away from me!!!!"
"Get her!!!"
!!!!!!!!SMACK, KICK!!!!!!!
Leah kicked the two men, and she spotted her escape route. A lone window. She jumped up, dashed to the window and looked down.
'Dang! I'm two stories up!!! Oh man, I gotta jump!'
Leah crawled over the edge, lowering her body, then releasing her hands from the edge, and fell to the bushes below. Just as the men had reached the window.
'Ah man, that friggin hurt! Now I got a huge gash in my arm. OOO!!!! It stings!!!!'
"hmf."
Leah let out a slight grunt from the pain.
"Just jump you idiot!!"
"Fine!!"
'crap, RUN!!!'
Leah thought to herself, as she began her run in the nights cool air.
Leah jumped up and ran in the only direction she could. She held her arm and sprinted as fast she could. The two men were already catching up.
Leah suddenly tripped, yelling as she fell to the ground. She instinctively put her hands in front to break the fall.
"AHHHHHH!!!!!"
Leah's stabbed her hand onto a sharp rock, that had dug deep into her palm, and refused to come out.
' I gotta keep running!!'
Leah bounced back up, and dashed off again, short of breath.
'They're gaining!! Oh man I'm screwed!!!'
"HAH! Gotcha!"
The green haired man grinned as he held Leah in an arm lock.
The blue haired man was a little bit behind but was almost to the two others.
Leah screamed so loud, that the man whinced. She kicked him in the shin with her heel, and he released her and fell to the ground screaming in pain, gripping his shin. The blue haired man came up behind Leah and grabbed her, with his dagger drawn.
'Oh man!'
She slipped out of his arms, but found herself quickly kicked in the side. She rolled onto the ground groaning in pain.
The green haired man grabbed the other man's dagger, and got on top of the child, and sliced and cut her.
"This is for kicking me in the room!"(SLICE) "This is for running away!" (CUT, SLICE, SLICE, SLICE, CUT, CUT, SLICE...) "and this is for kicking me in the shin!!!!"
He cut through her several times through her pant leg, her shirt, on her arms, and one final slice on her left cheek , that was deep, quick, and painful.
"AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Leah screamed with every cut, from the abusive man.
"Hey!! You weren't supposed to do the baka!!" The blue haired man yelled.
"I don't care!" The man sputtered back.
Leah then placed her feet on the man's stomach, then like a spring, kicked him with all the power she had left in her body, that sent him flying to the ground.
She then jumped up and ran, turning to the woods.
'Now all I need to do is lose them.'
Leah held herself tightly and at a limp/run, she headed deeper into the woods.
"Why are you here still!!! Go after her!!!!" The green head yelled.
He got up and ran to the woods, pushing the other man out of his way.
"Come on, she left a trail of blood," the blue headed man yelled.
~*~*~ ( Fifteen minutes later)
'I gotta find a stream a creek, or something!!!'
Leah had found out she'd been leaving a trail of blood.
'I-I hear it!!!! I hear water!!'
Leah dashed at a full sprint, ignoring her pain, and ran into the quick flowing water.
'Yes!'
She stumbled into the stream, and headed down river, at a quick pace, so she wouldn't have to fight the current.
She had paced herself, for at least a mile and a half till she went to the opposite side of the stream, and continued her run in the woods. She had no more blood running, since it all dried.
~*~*~(Two hours later)
'I think they're pretty much off my track, I better find a place to sleep.'
Leah took another fifteen minutes looking for a cave or something to sleep under.
It suddenly began sprinkling, slowly getting harder.
"Oh crap, I'm gonna get rained o.."
She caught herself in mid-sentence as she saw an uprooted tree, that had enough room under it for a maximum of two people to fit in.
'Yes! Sweet luck!!!!'
She crawled underneath it, just as it began to pour.
'Ooooo, this is very nice! It's dry!!!!'
She made a little bed out of pine needles and dirt, and realized she hadn't taken the rock out of her hand.
'Oh no., it's gonna get infected!'
She grasped the huge rock stuck in her hand.
'One, two THREE!!!!'
"AAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!"
Leah screamed at the top of her lungs out of the monstrous pain that the rock had done. Her palm began to bleed again, and badly. She tore some skin that hadn't been stabbed, and it hung by a few strands.
She chucked the rock to the ground, rolled over, holding her hand, and silently cried to herself.
'What's happening to me?'
She slowly fell into a deep sleep.
~*~*~ ( three hours later)
Leah woke up to the sound of something nearby.
'Please don't be what I think it is!'
She got onto her hands and knee's and silently crawled over to whatever noise was happening in the still pouring rain.
She pried apart some bushes as she horridly saw her two kidnappers, camping right there!!!! They'd camped under a tree, and had a fire going, talking, but nothing was heard.
'I better hide my presence of ever being here.'
She crawled back to her "bed" and messed it up, she grabbed the bloody rock, and covered the blood on the ground with dirt.
She tip toed as silently as possible, until she felt comfortably out of their hearing range, and ran as fast as her feet could carry her.
^*^
"Did you hear that?"
The blue haired man asked.
"No, what'd you hear?"
"There's something over in those bushes, or was."
"Well, you can check, you're the one who's been leading us in the middle of nowhere!"
The blue haired man gave a quick glare then got up and checked behind the bushes. The other man just watched his partner as he disappeared into the darkness.
"Hey! I found something!"
The blue haired man called.
"What."
" I found some blood here, covered up. I think someone had a little camp out."
The guy said sarcastically.
"We're hot on her trail."
Well, let's go then, idiot!!"
They extinguished the fire (somewhat) and set off.
^*^ 'Yes! I've finally reached town!'
The rain had stopped a few hours earlier, and it was almost midday.
She could see some buildings that were about two or three miles away.
She dashed out of the woods, heading for the city.
She was passing corn fields until she came to a sudden stop. She felt like she wasn't alone, and she sensed someone or something watching her.
She walked along a fence for only seconds, until two shadows jump out of the cornstalk.
'Oh my gosh!!!!! I'm screwed!!!!!!'
"Get away from me!!!" Leah screamed, already knowing who it was, "what did I do to you!!!! Well, there is after I woke up, but! What did I ever do to you before then!!!!"
Leah's two pursuers stepped forward, beginning to laugh hysterically.
This really began to upset Leah, and she began to feel anger boiling inside of her.
"QUIT LAUGHING!!!!"
She screamed as loud as possible.
They quickly were cut off, and then the blue-haired man slowly began to spill out his sentence.
"Well, aren't we a little testy? (beginning to laugh again) you're so baka! Why don't you just shut-up!!!!"
Then the green-haired man broke in.
"Oh man!!! This kid has no idea!!!! She's so thick, she must be mentally retarded!!!"
They both were on the verge of crying.
Suddenly they both quit laughing as they felt wind rush past them. There was a sudden change in the weather. Dark and heavy clouds suddenly covered the sky, then lightning began striking, then thundering, till the rain followed. This all happened in under a minute.
Their eyes finally fell upon Leah, who had suddenly changed. She stood straight and tall, despite the pounding rain and howling wind, blowing in her face. All her cuts had reopened, and the blood flowed.
She looked as if she were possessed, her eye's glowed an angry mint, and the strangest symbol on her forehead also glowed mint. They two men suddenly found themselves staring into some blast of light, that was like lightning, but was a mint color, then the next second, they found themselves lying on the ground, cut, and bruised.
Then Leah suddenly fell to the ground, slowly awaking from her trance.
The clouds, rain, lightning and thunder left as quickly as it had come.
'Wow, who beat the crap outta them?'
Leah thought.
'Oh man, how come I can't remember? They were standing right there in front of me. Oh man, I'm so tired.'
She stood up and looked at the two unconscious men on the ground.
"Well, nice meeting you."
Leah sputtered out.
She limped away suddenly realizing all her cuts were reopened and bleeding.
'What the Heck is happening?'
~*~*~(20 minutes later)
'Oh, I can't see. Every things to blurry.'
Leah limped to the building that stood in front of her....
and then that's when I saw you Kenshin, then passed out.
(YAAAAWWNN)
"Oh man am I tired." Leah said, slightly short of breath.
"Well Leah, you can go back to sleep," Kaoru said, realizing how tired Leah was.
"Leah?" Kaoru called questioningly.
She looked to the child's face and found that she was already in a deep sleep.
"I don't know Kenshin, she might be a phony," Sano said lazily.
Kaoru suddenly jumped in to defend the girl, "She is not Sanosuke!!! You know what it's like to be beaten and near death! Especially by two large thugs!!! Besides, I think she's a sweet little girl. Oh!! I forgot to ask her how old she was!!!"
"We should carry our conversation outside to let Miss Leah sleep, that we should. She's been through a lot, that she has," Kenshin said in a low soft voice.
With that said everyone got up and left to let the mysterious girl sleep the rest of the night through.
