Mishiru the Competitor

Yahiko spent the next day having fun with Mishiru, kind of acting as a big brother. When evening was upon them, Yahiko and Mishiru sat by a small fire roasting some fish they had caught earlier. Yahiko then explained for the third time what really happened last night. Surprisingly she understood more than he had anticipated. She hugged him and told him she was so happy that her dad didn't hate her. Soon it was time for sleep and it wasn't as uncomfortable as they thought it would be.

Yahiko hit his head in mid-turn of his sleepless quarry. He shook his head and looked where Mishiru should have been. But she wasn't, and in her place was a letter addressed to Sanza (Sanosuke) Yahiko ran as fast as his legs could carry him then stormed into the Kamiya Dojo, where Kenshin Kaoru and Sanosuke were found drinking sake and tea. "Kenshin! Mishiru has been kidnapped!" "What?" Yahiko handed Kenshin the note. "It appears she has been taken to a place called Akuja Dojo. It says whoever took her wants revenge for a death, by you Sano." "It must be Takanaray, He's the only man sick enough to do this." "Then lets go!" Sanosuke stopped Yahiko. "No, he wants me, I'll go alone." "So let it be! Sanosuke, Be careful." "Right Kenshin." He then ran to the spot, where he was in for way more than he bargained for.

"Where is she?!" "Calm down she's right here, now fight me Sanza." "Fine." Sanosuke charged ready to punch him. But Takanaray slid past and knocked Sano out with one blow. Mishiru yelled "No!!!Daddy!!!" she then stomped on his toe. "I need help." She ran as fast as she could, but stopped to hear a scream. It was Takanaray; some other man had killed him while saying,"That's for letting one get away." It was his boss, she didn't know how she knew but she did. He had seen her and soon shouted, "Who's there?" All of a sudden, she grew up confidence and said the bravest thing she had ever said and the most heroic.

"I am Mishiru Sagara, Defender of all whom have love in their hearts. I may be small but I pack a powerful punch. Agility is the key in my book of virtues. You've hurt the only one whom loves me and I won't let you hurt anyone else as long as I'm around. Hiya! I will beat you with everything I am and ever dreamed to be."

She jumped in her spotlight. "Haha, well if you insist" He charged at her with bloody daggers. She tried to dodge them but got hit. Her arm was bloody. She leaped to get away from another blow, but got slashed in the ankle. Now she was pissed. She charged and head butted his diaphragm. "you thin that will beat me?" He recovered and had her corned by a tree when an imaginary light bulb flew at Mishiru. She charged at him and kicked him right in the.groin? She then tore off one of his huge sleeves off his shirt. Mishiru leaped up and bagged his head still hanging on his neck. In rage he tried to get it off, ran into that tree, and knocked himself out. Mishiru didn't have time to congratulate herself, but ran to Sanosuke. He had seen the whole thing, "I knew softness wouldn't be good for you." He tried to stand up. And Mishiru acted as a crutch holding his leg. While they walked to the Kamiya Dojo, Mishiru looked so determined to get him there.

Next Day,

"Hey Mishiru, ya wanna fight me?" yelled Yahiko. "Okay" He whacked her in the back with his wooden sword. She fell and soon got up. Kaoru almost went over to stop them but Sanosuke said, "She'll be fine. After last night she has proven to be tough." Yahiko gave her another blow, she fell again. But she had a strange grin on her face and she tripped him took his sword and said "I win"

From then on Mishiru Sagara fought side-to-side with the Kenshin gumi (Kenshin Group)
