Disclaimer: I OWN NOTHING!! And Kenshin WILL NOT BE USING GOZARU OR ALL OF THOSE OTHER THINGAMABOBBERS(-dono, sessha...)!! It's really annoying!! (Actually, I don't know anything about it, but anyway...)
Uchiha Sasuke. Ambition: To kill his brother. Where is his brother?
"Kamiya Dojo..." He murmured softly. He felt that Chakra. That Chakra from long ago... As the wind blew, he walked up the stairs. Little did he know that he was being tailed by his teammates and teacher.
'Why are you here, Naruto?!' Sakura stuck out her tongue.
'What do you mean why am I here?! To check on baka Sasuke of course!' Naruto whispered back.
'WHAT?! HOW DARE YO-' Kakashi covered Sakura's mouth.
'Oh, quiet. Let's see why he's here.' Kakashi said.
"Kaoru, girl, you better take some cooking lessons. I could teach you ya know..." Sanosuke stated, biting a cooked fish. Kaoru got the 'evil eyes'.
"You bastard Sanosuke! You come here to eat everyday...for FREE! It's bad enough that that annoying VIXEN is busy so she can't take care of you!" Kaoru fiddled madly with some bandage rope, making it twined even more on her fingers. "Stupid! Stupid! Things!! Of course you had to bleed so much that you got an infection! You should know that you should bandage your wounds! What kind of man are you?!"
"Dammit, it's not my fault I got sick!"
"I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR EXCUSES!" Kaoru whacked him aside the head.
"ARGH!!!"
In the courtyard, Kenshin was doing the laundry.
"Oro...." He went chibified. "Hey Yahiko, your duties starting this early?" He watched as the boy walked across the courtyard.
"No...I have to buy more bandage rope*Kaoru completely wasted most of it because she couldn't tie the rope right and burned it in a fit of rage*..."
"I HEARD THAT!"
"Crap." Kenshin stared as Yahiko ran.
'Someone...is coming.' Sasuke thought. He was correct when a boy came out. He gazed at Sasuke.
"Hey, who are you?" He asked, as though people showing up was a bad thing *which is usually was...*.
"Uchiha Sasuke." He answered bluntly.
This made Yahiko very suspicious.
'Most of the time, guests give a reason, or question, like 'Is this person here?'...I don't like this guy already.' He questioned again.
"Why are you here?"
'Damned questions..ah well. If he's a friend of his...'Sasuke took into a pre-offensive position.
"To kill a man named....
"Oops, too hard.." Kaoru stared down at the faintly 'ow'ing Sanosuke.
Who...?
This voice..?
I know this voice, don't I...?
Yes...who?
Brother?
Yes...
U...
Uchi...?
Uchiha..Clan...
The...past....
I almost....forgot....
Ki? No...
Chakra...hm.
He's trained.
...Yahiko?
...kill me?
...Yahiko...
...killed..
KILLED!?
WHAT THE *CENSORED*?!
I GOTTA *CENSORED* SAVE THAT *CENSORED* BRAT FROM MY *CENSORED* BROTHER!
YAHIKO!!!
Sanosuke's eyes popped open. Kaoru froze in shock as he jumped up and ran...er...stumbled as fast as he could.
"What...about...the wounds..." She uttered meekly, hairs sticking out.
"...Sanosuke. I know he's here." Sasuke replied.
'What?' Sakura wondered.
'So he didn't mean me that time...' Naruto whispered.
'Keep your chakras low you two.' Kakashi lowered their heads as a bonus.
"Sanosuke?! Why in the world would you want to kill Sanosuke?!" Yahiko readied postion too. 'Even if he's a bastard and all that...'
"I have no desire to tell you."
"Well I won't allow you to do that!" Yahiko looked him up and down. Strong figure, a pretty strong ki, but nothing Sanosuke couldn't handle. But as Sanosuke was sick AND wounded, this Uchiha Sasuke dude would win. The boy ran fast, but with the help of the training from the residents of the Kamiya Dojo, Yahiko ran and jumped, hitting Sasuke with his wooden sword. Sasuke pulled back and threw some shurikens. Yahiko dodged, but was hit by Sasuke's leg. Yahiko, now spitting a little blood, then elbowed Sasuke in the mouth, which caused him to drip a little too. Sasuke then rolled back, and put both his hands together, index and middle fingers pointing upwards. Sanosuke came to the entrance.
"That brat, he wouldn't..!!"
"GOUKAKYUU..."
'I have to do this quick!' Sanosuke began a seal.
"NO....JUTSU!!!" Yahiko froze as he saw the tremendous ball of fire heading toward him. He was even more surprised as he saw Sanosuke run in front of him.
"No, SANOSUKE!" He cried, ashen.
"WATER EXPLOSION NO JUTSU!!" Sanosuke shouted forcefully.
'Eh?!' Naruto, Sakura, and Kakashi watched as the water burst up into a dragon shape and took on the fireball. Both cancelled each other out. Sasuke was merely surprised. He made another fireball in split second, and fired. What he WAS surprised about was when Sanosuke dropped, and Yahiko catched him.
"Sanosuke, you idiot! You shouldn't be moving around! Didn't Megumi tell you that?!" Yahiko shook him desperately.
"Hey hey, quit it would ya? I'm dieing from food poisoning anyway..." He looked up, seeing the on coming ninjutsu. "YAHIKO WATCH OU-!" As Sanosuke threw Yahiko into the pond, he saw the on coming fireball getting very close.
"Demonic...Ice...Mirrors...!!" He barely whispered, making a chill.
'WHAT THE...?!!!' The Team #7 gaped.
"But only Haku knew tha-!!!" Naruto jumped up, and saw Sasuke staring down at him with those freaky Sharingan. "Eehhh...."
"DOBE! Why are you here?!" Sasuke yelled, irritated.
"Why do you THINK I'm here, ya bastard?!!" Naruto pointed at Sasuke, just as irritated. "I should be asking you that!"
"You'll get in the way!"
"You're one to be talking!" They kept bickering. You could tell the Mirrors weren't as strong as Haku's though, because they melted away after taking out most of the fire.
"SANOSUKE!" Yahiko rushed over as Sanosuke's arm got burned. The two stopped bickering.
"Argh! Hey, ya little twerp, I thought you couldn't swim?" Sanosuke choked.
"Sanosuke you bastard, this is no time to be joking around!"
"Yeah yeah yeah...." At this, he fainted again. Yahiko looked up at Sasuke, emotion blinding over his eyes quickly. He jumped, and struck Sasuke on the head. Sasuke rolled down from the tree in shock.
'Pft. He's gotten stronger when he's emotional. Guess I'll kick things up a notch. He twisted with a higher level of speed, and with a couple of kunais pinned Yahiko to a tree. He then threw a shuriken. However....
*CLANG*
Sasuke stared as a red-headed man came and blocked the shuriken with his sword. To make that shuriken clatter to the ground harmlessly...that was impossible with a mere sword! He put Chakra in that Evil Wind shuriken. ...And a reversed sword at that!
"Yahiko, are you okay?" The swordsman spoke, facing Sasuke.
"Hey! Kenshin!" Yahiko grinned. "Aren't I always?! And that bastard Sanosuke's kinda drained. I think he needs your help." This 'Kenshin' smiled. Sasuke narrowed his eyes.
"He'll never accept help from me. Get yourself off that tree, Yahiko," Kenshin took a readying position. "because I have to deal with this newcomer."
"No you don't." Sasuke said. "This is none your business. THIS IS BETWEEN ME AND ANIKI!" His pupils changed into the legendary Sharingan. "I have vowed to kill Sanosuke ever since the fall of the Uchiha Clan, and I live up to my vows." Kenshin narrowed his eyes. But it was Naruto who retorted faster.
"WHAT THE *CENSORED*??!! You came here all the way without telling us just to kill someone?!" Naruto screeched like a banshee.
"I didn't tell you because you'd get in the way, dobe." Sasuke replied in monotone. Naruto went on a rampage. Kenshin ignored this and sighed.
"Promises must never be broken, right? Is that what you think?" He asked. "I am not saying it's wrong, in fact, it is completely right." He glared at Sasuke. "But do you really want to kill your brother? Is there a something so horrible that you want to kill Sanosuke? Well, you will have to get by me." He charged quickly. Sasuke anticipated it, but was shocked that he couldn't even see the blade aiming for his shoulder until it was a centimeter away. It stopped. It stopped?!
"I can't have you killing my student like that." A man held the blade. Kenshin was surprised. Only ones from the Edo Era had this kind of speed.
"What made you think I would kill him?" He then showed his blade to the inspecting man.
"Ah. A reversed blade sword I see. Although..." He trailed the blade with his finger, making it hover just over it. "I also see that it is glazed with a chemical." He was right. Kenshin's sword had a shiny substance applied to it.
"Very good eye...oro..."
"Kakashi."
"Kakashi-san." He smiled. "You thought it was poison?"
"..."
"I suppose you did. But as sword lore goes..." He twisted his sword. "I cannot kill with it. This was merely a paralysis solution." Then his eyes hardened. "And still with the vow that _I_ made never to kill again, I cannot have any of you kill Sanosuke without beating me." He was about to charge when...
"KENSHIN! YOU DIDN'T FINISH THE LAUNDRY!!" An angry banshee screech rang out from the dojo.
"Oro..." He sweatdropped. Kaoru stomped out.
"SANOSUKE, WHERE ARE YOU?!" She spotted Yahiko. "Yahiko, WHAT are YOU DOING pinned by KUNA-" She stopped. "Where DID they come from anyways?"
"Hey, you old hag, analyze the situation a little bit, would ya?"
"WHY YOU!!" She shrieked. "YOU'RE STAYING on that TREE, you got THAT?!!" Yahiko stuck out his tongue. Then she turned to Kenshin. "Now, Kenshin." She held up a bucket full of clothes, smiling too sweetly. "You have another bucket to do." Massive facevaults.
"Bu-But Kaoru..."
"Don't 'but' me! _I_ have to find Sanosuke."
"YOU OLD HAG, HE'S RIGHT HERE!"
"Yaaahiiikkoooo...!!" Kaoru and Yahiko glared at each other dangerously for some moments. Bzzt.
"Hey girl, you're a little thick today, aren't you?" A dull voice stated.
"SANOSUKE!!" Kaoru stomped over, and then realized something odd. She lifted his arm delicately. "Where'd you get this burn?"
"Ya see, hag? I told ya to analyze the situation." Yahiko stuck out his tongue.
"You shut up! That's no way to talk to your teacher!!" Now she FINALLY FOUND the Ninjas. "Wai! I'm so embarrassed!." They sweatdropped and stared.
"I'm sorry, I have some ties with HIM." Sasuke eyed Sanosuke, who glared back.
"Oh oh! Of course! I heard that the shop has another employee! You must be him!" She shuffled through where she keeps her money. "I am TERRIBLY sorry, Sanosuke almost never pays, like a barbarian I say-"
"Hey!" Sanosuke objected. Kaoru stuck out her tongue.
"Anyways, how much does he owe?"
"......." They stared at her again.
"Sanosuke did all of that?!" Kaoru gasped. Or rather, gritted. Sasuke told her the story of the Uchiha Clan. She finished pouring the tea and layed out some food. The shinobis thanked her and began eating.
"Yes." Sasuke replied.
"Ugh, this food is horrible..." Naruto grimaced. Sakura hit him. "OWWW!! What was that for?!"
"Don't talk to her like that! You should be happy you even got food!" Sakura scolded, and tried the fish. She wrinkled her face. "...is this fermented fish?"
"See, I told you your cooking was horrible." A bland voice spoke up.
"Sanosuke!" Kaoru slapped a paper fan on his head.
"Hey!" Sanosuke fell from his leaning position to an ungraceful one sprawled on the floor.
"You were told to get bedrest by that vixen slut! You are in NO condition to be commenting on my cooking!" She held the paper fan up dangerously.
"Hey! It's true! Your food is MAKING me need bedrests, tanuki-girl!" Sanosuke grumbled.
"OKAY! THAT'S IT!" Kaoru began throwing random objects at Sanosuke. Sanosuke grabbed Kenshin and used him as a shield.
"Oro. Oro! Orooo...!" The swirly eyed samurai got no mercy.
"Oi, Kaoru dudette, you're hitting the wrong dude there..." Naruto pointed out.
"Erk!" She stared at what she did.
"Oroooooooo......"
'This woman is kinda...Narutoish.' Team 7 thought.(besides Naruto of course)
