Disclaimer: Do you honestly think a poor cat girl who can barely afford to feed her cats and get good grades can own something like Rurouni Kenshin, of course not. So don't sue me, you won't get anything at all.
Another note: I haven't seen the whole series, I have only seen the first half, and most of that unfortunately is the English version, But I do intend to see the whole series (in Japanese) it will just take time, by the time I get to writing that, I'll have seen it I assure you. I'm perfectly welcome to ideas as well.
LAST NOTE: Well I'm back, and the reason I didn't update for so long, well first was extreme writers block, and my moms laptop was being a piece of shit. But it's all good and working for now . . . .
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Neko blinked, as she tasted the fish Kaoru had just made.
" This is pretty good Kaoru-san." She said smiling at the older girl, who beamed at her.
" Indeed Kaoru-dono's cooking improves the more you eat it" Kenshin said smiling. Yahiko was silent determinly chewing on his fish.
" But Kenshin, this is the first time Neko-chan's ever tasted her cooking, and she liked it." Sanosuke said looking at Neko with an amazed expression.
" Well that's true, well Neko-chan always has been a bit odd, that she has." He said nodding to himself.
" I prefer insane Kenshin." The girl said happily eating her fish.
" But there really is no way around it jou-chan." Sanosuke said turning to Kaoru. " This food is crap, hell I could do better then this," Kaoru glared at him, she grabbed the nearest throw-able object and threw it at him, Sano quickly grabbed Kenshin and used him to block the items.
Neko sweat dropped. " And I thought I hit him a lot, poor Kenshin." She muttered. She could hear his oro's as objects pelted him repeatedly.
" Sumimassen, is Himura Kenshin here?" She heard an important voice ask, Neko turned to see the chief of the police standing near them.
" Hai, but . . .he's sorta out cold." Neko said and pointed to Kenshin who was currently lying on the ground covered in bumps and bruises.
" Oi Kenshin." Neko said poking him with a stick. " The chief of police is here to see you."
" X.x orooooooooooo." Was the response she got.
" I have a favor to ask of you Himura-san." The man explained.
" Oro?" Kenshin replied sitting up and then standing up with Neko's help.
" I would also like to apologize for the behavior of the sword-bearing police." The chief said. " By the way is this girl a relative of yours somehow, she looks quite a lot like you." he added looking at Neko. Both rurouni's blinked and looked at each other.
" Iei, she is not my relative, but a very close friend of mine, I never noticed how much we looked alike." Kenshin said scratching the back of his head.
" Your joking right?" Kaoru asked him, he shook his head.
" Well you both have red hair, though Neko's is a lot darker then yours, you both have strange colored eyes for being pure Japanese, your both short, and you act similar half the time to." Kaoru told him. Once again both redhead's looked at each other and blinked.
" We act similar?" Neko said looking majorily surprised.
" Sometimes, yes, but certainly not all the time." Kaoru said smiling at her. Kenshin looked down at the smaller redhead now and then seemed to think about something.
" Your right Kaoru-don0 we do seem to look quite a bit alike, that we do" Kenshin said smiling, then he turned to the police chief. " May I ask what this favor is?"
" Allow me to explain, first of all this concerns the problem of the polices reputation, we've kept this out of the newspapers. So I beg of you all to keep this a secret. My request is none other then this, I want you to destroy a certain ruffian." The chief explained as they sat down in the dojo at a table.
" Ruffian?" Sano asked looking surprised.
" He's known as " Black Hat of Rushes," he's a fiend who targets former patriots who hold important places in the Meiji world of wealth and power. He is a swordsmen without scruples, he has struck over ten times all over Japan, without taking a single misstep."
" So basically he's out to get the Meiji Patriots? Is it because of a grudge, or does he think he's making the world a better place or something." Kaoru asked.
" More then likely neither." Neko murmured, barely audible except to Kenshin, who nodded.
" Perhaps." The chief continued not having heard Neko's comment." But it seems above all the Black Hat enjoys killing. Since he's targeting patriots who hold important posts, the police has dedicated itself to providing guards, and the targets themselves use their power and money to hire bodyguards. Yet the Black Hat seems to enjoy killing as many as he can, once he has broken though our defenses. About two months ago, when he appeared in Shizuoka, counting victim, police and bodyguard, thirty-four were killed and fifty six suffered heavy injuries."
" A hitokiri?" Neko asked out loud.
" That's a possibility." The chief said looking at Neko surprised.
" Wait a minute. If you know he's so strong, why don't you use the infantry? Since there were so many casualties . . . ?" Kaoru asked.
" We did . . " the chief said and gave a sigh. " But the unit was wiped out before they could draw their weapons. According to one who barely escaped with his life, he couldn't move at all, like he was bound hand and foot, that's why they were killed - -"
" By the Nikaidou Heibou . . . " One sided heart" " Kenshin said softly. Every one looked at him except Neko.
" Probably after so many murders, he has lost his original purpose and will, drawn only by the color and smell of blood. That such man should exist ten years into the Meiji era. . . " Kenshin trailed off.
" It's also a possibility that he just flat out enjoys killing people." Neko said calmly. Kenshin nodded.
" Yes there is no denying that some of the Hitokiri were like that." Kenshin murmured, and the small girl gave a small shiver.
" Neko-san I have a request, and I know your not going to like it. So please don't hit me." Kenshin said looking at her. Neko crossed her arms already knowing what he was going to ask.
" Please stay here and watch over Kaoru-done and Yahiko." He said backing away nervously.
" . . . . . " Was the only reply he got.
" Neko-san.?"
" . . . . ."
" Please say something?" he asked looking scared.
" . . . . . " She growled deep in her throat. " I only stay on one condition." She said firmly, it was quite clear what ever her condition was; her mind would not be changed, no matter what.
" You have to promise me never to leave me behind again." She glared fiercely and then smiled sweetly. " Understood."
" Hai." Kenshin replied though he clearly looked like he did not want to agree.
" Good." She snapped and stormed off.
" I'm dead meat." Kenshin groaned and pressed his hands to his face.
" Aw come on Kenshin, what can one small girl do to you?" Sano asked, like the rest of the people in the room confused at Kenshin's fear.
" I pray you never find out for yourself Sanosuke. I just assure you she's can be scarier then any hitokiri that ever lived in her own way, and I don't mean when she's fighting." Kenshin muttered.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Later that night:
Neko growled low in her throat again as she watched Kenshin and Sanosuke leave the dojo. She was sitting on the roof comfortably, with her Naginata lying besides her. She wore her simple dark green traveling kimono again, the blood stains completly gone. The kimono looked as if it were brand new.
She blinked as she heard a loud crash, which was followed by loud cursing. She crawled over to the edge of the roof and peered down to see Yahiko lying face flat on the ground, and cursing a lot.
She raised an eyebrow sitting back and watching as he tried several more times to get on the roof, failing every time.
" YOU know you could help me." He snarled up at her as she broke into laughter.
" I could, but I won't." she replied grinning. " Besides if you're so strong you shouldn't need help form a little girl like me to get on the roof Yahiko-chan."
" NANI?" he yelled angrily, she giggled.
" You heard me perfectly well Yahiko-chan." Neko said mockingly. He growled angrily and tried to get on the roof again, and of course failed. He yelped loudly as several cats tackled him and started scratching him.
" What's the matter Yahiko? You don't like cats all to much?" She asked loving her little curse even more.
" No I don't." he growled and then ran off screaming. Neko chuckled to herself; she heard gentle laughter behind her.
Neko tilted her head back to say Kaoru looking down at her smiling.
" Do you mind if I sit down Neko-chan?" The older girl asked.
" Sure, go ahead. It's your roof." Neko said smiling, which got her a smile in return. " I'm sorry about all the cats invading your dojo, I should have realized that was going to happen."
" Don't worry about it, I like cats, though Yahiko doesn't seem to."
" Knew there was a reason I didn't like him, and I know why."
" Is it normal for cats to follow you around?"
" Yes, I sort of have this odd curse, I attract alley cats, and well I own Kage." Neko said smiling. Thinking of her overly large black cat. The giant beast came up to past her waist at least. " The other 63 follow me around, I don't think I could ever get rid of them."
" Well that doesn't seem like an odd curse, where is Kage now?" Kaoru asked.
" More then likely finding his dinner." Neko said calmly.
" Aren't you worried he might get hurt?"
" Well no, anybody stupid to pick a fight with my cat Kage, deserves what they have coming." Neko said smiling slightly.
" Neko-chan I don't mean to pry but. . . can I ask how you met Kenshin?" Kaoru said nervously. Neko blinked.
" Sure, I don't mind. You gave me a place to live, you deserve to know a bit about me." Neko said with an easy going smile. Kaoru smiled back.
" I fell out of a tree bleeding to death on top of him." Neko said as if this wasn't at all strange. Kaoru stared at her.
" Well you asked, and it's the truth." Neko said confused by Kaoru's stare.
" That is true . . . erm Neko-chan can I ask something else . . . " Kaoru trailed off.
" The closest way to describe me and Kenshin's relationship is that of one a brother and sister have. I have no romantic interest in him."
Kaoru laughed, slight relief noticeable in her voice. " You twp look like your brother and sister, well almost."
" Yeah and to think we never noticed, well I sorta did." Neko said. " Oro boy can pretty oblivious at times."
" I agree. " Kaoru said and then stood up. " Well, I'm going to go and try and get some sleep. I assume you'll be sleeping up here." She added smiling gently.
" Yeah, Night." Neko muttered and turned over and pretended to go to sleep.
" Good Night Neko-chan." Kaoru said softly and climbed off the roof. Neko waited till she was gone before sitting up again.
" I'll be lucky if I get ten minutes sleep tonight. " She muttered lying back and staring up at the starry sky. " Damnit Kenshin, this is why I wanted to come with you. How am I supposed to sleep when you and Sano are in possible danger?" She sighed and watched as Kaoru walked inside the dojo dragging a very scratched up Yahiko with her. She felt the roof shake slightly as Kage jumped up beside her. She sat up again allowing the giant longhaired cat to lie down where her head had been. She then lay back down, using the cat as a pillow. He looked at her out of his shadowed gray eyes as if to say don't worry.
" I'll try Kage, I'll try." She muttered staring up at the stars again.
